Team to Lewis Hamilton: "This is your race set."
'So don't flat-spot them,' is the sub-text.
Vettel goes outpublished at 13:36 British Summer Time 20 June 2015
He's playing it cool, which is pretty brave on a tricky circuit like this.
The Ferrari man, with four world titles to his name, clearly has plenty of confidence in his ability to deliver under pressure.

We have the fastest time of the weekend on the board.
A 1:09.588 by Nico Rosberg throws down the gauntlet to team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who still looks every inch second-best to the German.
Almost back on the ultimate pace nowpublished at 13:30 British Summer Time 20 June 2015
We're pretty much on full-dry lap times now, so this segment of qualifying should not be quite a fraught as the last.
A 1:10.207 has Nico Hulkenberg currently top of the pile.
That's just six tenths off the fastest lap of the weekend set by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.

Srihari: Ferrari seem to have perfected the art of messing up qualifying with a car that has what it takes to win the race.
Chinmay Shitut: Raikkonen once again out. I guess he wants to quit F1...
Nick Clark: What difference does it make? Half the field after quali will be demoted anyway, Raikkonen will probably end up 5th! Ridiculous.

OK, that's not exactly what he said, but this is a family live text.

Lewis Hamilton's lowly finish in that session has been explained away by an incident on his final lap, the Mercedes man nearly going off at turn two after encountering traffic.
He just squeaked through.

Raikkonen out!published at 13:19 British Summer Time 20 June 2015
Perez, Button, Raikkonen, Merhi and Stevens all out.
Big shock for Ferrari and Kimi Raikkonen there. As all the drivers around him improved, the Finn failed to get the job done on his final flying lap.

Vettel, Rosberg out of dangerpublished at 13:17 British Summer Time 20 June 2015
No Q1 elimination for Vettel this week.
He vaults to the top of the order with a time in the 1:12s.
Rosberg then does likewise and he's safe too.
