Lewis Hamilton is in pole position to extend his lead in the championship but second for Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's increasingly impressive performances have certainly added a bit of spice for tomorrow's race. Throw in the unpredictable weather, and could Mercedes be in for an uncomfortable time?

Only one way to find out, join us for live coverage from 06:00 BST, and don't oversleep because remember, the clocks go forward one hour (UK-based readers!) Until then, goodbye.

Lauren: Vettel splits the Mercedes to start from the front row. Fingers crossed for a brilliant GP - shame I can't watch it live!

Lewis McFarlane: It pains me to say it but Rosberg simply isn't good enough to challenge Hamilton at the moment.

Sebastian Vettel has put Ferrari in unfamiliar territory. They'll start on the front row for the first time since Felipe Massa put them there back in 2013, also at the Malaysian GP, a race Vettel won.

Incidentally, Jos Verstappen, pictured above, finished third in that 1994 Belgian GP, when he qualified sixth. What an achievement it would be if his son Max gets on the podium tomorrow.

The 17-year-old is also firmly on course to become the youngest-ever points scorer in Formula 1, not that he has to worry about achieving that any time soon. He still has TWO YEARS to eclipse current record holder Daniil Kvyat (19 years 324 days).

Two races in and the tensions in the Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg relationship are showing?

The two had, shall we say, a 'moment' in qualifying when Rosberg appeared not to give much room to Hamilton to pass when he was on a big lap. Hamilton backed off once he got ahead of Rosberg, and asked about that moment the Briton claimed to "not remember" it.

Another impressive stat regarding Max Verstappen. In just his second race, he has equalled his dad's best-ever grid position when Jos started from sixth at the 1994 Belgian GP for Benetton. That'll be one proud dad tonight.

Pole position for Lewis Hamilton was the 40th of his career and he'll be buoyed by the fact that he has converted his last seven poles into race wins. Ferrari, though, will fancy themselves to give Hamilton a run for his money. Their long-run pace on Friday was impressive, and Sebastian Vettel is in prime position to utilise that in tomorrow's race and have a real go at victory.

By qualifying sixth, 17-year-old Max Verstappen secured the highest qualifying position by a teenage driver since Ricardo Rodriguez started on the front row for Ferrari at the 1961 Italian GP.

Nico Rosberg, who will start from third: "Third is not good for tomorrow but that is the way it is. It was interesting conditions out there, I have seldom had so much grip in wet conditions. Third is on the clean side of the grid, so that should help me get past Sebastian Vettel at the start."

Sebastian Vettel, who will start from second: "You never know [how tomorrow could go]. Just look outside, when it starts to rain here it can mix up things. It was an interesting qualifying session, the car felt good in both conditions and the car looked good on long runs in practice. We will see what we can do tomorrow."

Lewis Hamilton, who will start on pole: "I think the first lap was good, it's always difficult in conditions like that and not one of us have driven in the wet this weekend. You don't want to take too much risk. The next one was up and then we lost some but generally it was a fantastic job by the team."

That top three is a carbon copy of last year, with Sebastian Vettel - then of Red Bull - splitting the two Mercedes in qualifying.

On that occasion, Lewis Hamilton secured pole and converted that into victory.

11) Raikkonen 12) Maldonado 13) Hulkenberg 14) Perez 15) Sainz 16) Nasr 17) Button 18) Alonso

1 Hamilton 2) Vettel 3) Rosberg 4) Ricciardo 5) Kvyat 6) Verstappen 7) Massa 8) Grosjean 9) Bottas 10) Ericsson

Nico Rosberg cannot improve with his final lap and he will line up third on the grid but how about this from Max Verstappen, the 17-year-old secures sixth in only his second grand prix!

And he still cannot drive in his home country unless accompanied by a driving license holder...
