Talks are on to keep Formula 1's popular Singapore night race on the calendar beyond 2017.

The local Straits Times newspaper reports that a deal 'is likely'.

Government official Low Yen Ling said in Singapore: "It is something we are still deliberating about and I think in due course you will hear more about it.

"It involves a lot of consideration and certainly we will share as soon as we have the details."

Nico Rosberg will be on pole for tomorrow's iteration of the race.
