What do drivers do after a hot and demanding qualifying session? Well if it's Singapore then the only thing for it is to swap the starting grid for the fashion catwalk, with Manor's Pascal Wehrlein looking particularly sharp in blue suit and purple bow tie at the Amber Lounge Fashion Show.

His team mate Esteban Ocon also looks to be thoroughly enjoying himself as he celebrates his 20th birthday in style. Also taking part in the event were Ferrari test drivers Marc Gene and Jean-Eric Verge, and McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne.

If it's automotive style you prefer, then how about this: here's a bonus picture of the day from the Sunday's pre-race driver parade which saw the drivers taken around the Marina Bay Street Circuit in a variety of vintage automobiles, with Renault's Kevin Magnussen looking very comfortable indeed in this particularly fine example of motoring history.
