      Mercedes does not understand why it has been unable to find the Pirelli tyres' "sweet-spot" in Singapore this weekend, but has ruled out the tyre pressure limitations enforced by FIA.

      For the first time this year, neither Mercedes is on the front row of the grid for Sunday's race after they both qualified over a second off the pace of Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari.
