Singapore is cited by the drivers as arguably the toughest race of the season, with a long lap on a bumpy track in high temperatures and humidity, and a race that tends to run close to the two-hour maximum.
After the first session, Mercedes engineers had calculated they had an advantage of about 0.6secs a lap over Red Bull but it appeared significantly closer in the later session.
Ricciardo was only 0.3secs adrift of Hamilton's fastest lap - and on race pace the two Mercedes drivers and Ricciardo looked quite closely matched.
Alonso may also be in the fight with Red Bull for the final podium place. His fastest lap was far from his maximum, as it was set on his second flying lap on his super-soft tyres, when the tyres are past their best, after an earlier, faster lap was ruined by a poor final sector.
Red Bull's world champion Sebastian Vettel only ran for the last 15 minutes of the session because the team needed to change an engine that failed at the end of the first session.
The world champion set the fifth fastest time, 0.01secs slower than Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, on his late run on super-soft tyres.
