  1. Felipe Massa goes eighth fastest with 1:23.819 on his first go in Q3. That leaves us waiting for Max Verstappen to put a time on the board. Three minutes left...

  2. P3 for Sebastian Vettel, half a second down on Lewis Hamilton's best, while Daniel Ricciardo goes fourth fastest. Then it is Kimi Raikkonen, Valtteri Bottas, Daniil Kvyat and Romain Grosjean.

  3. ...and so the dance continues. A 1:22.408 for Lewis Hamilton - faster than last year's pole lap of 1:22.7 - puts him ahead of Nico Rosberg, for the time being.

  4. A 1:22.766 for Nico Rosberg, but Lewis Hamilton is storming through the three sectors right now...

    "Anything less than a perfect lap from Lewis Hamilton will give Nico Rosberg that chance of getting pole."

  7. Nico Rosberg, who secured pole position last year, is the first to burst out on to the circuit with Lewis Hamilton - fastest in every session so far this weekend - not far behind him. Both head out on a used set of soft tyres.

  8. Final qualifying starts

    Right then, time for the top 10 shoot-out. The 12-minute Q3 session is under way.

    "The two McLarens are side by side for Sunday's race. It ended in tears at Silverstone. They may get a reminder from chief Ron Dennis."

  12. Love for Alonso - #bbcf1

    Elena: So much respect for Alonso pushing his car back to the pits. Hope some of the other drivers taking notes

    David Roach: Credit to Alonso there. Real commitment and desire. Good to see @McLarenF1 can be pleased with that at least

    Stefano Rocchio: Alonso is such a class act! Fantastic commitment from a fantastic driver!

  15. Second qualifying ends

    Lewis Hamilton finishes fastest in the second part of qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

  16. Nope. All four are eliminated.

  17. Seconds left and Lewis Hamilton leads Nico Rosberg. In trouble, though, is Nico Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez and Pastor Maldonado. Any time for any last-minute improvements?

  18. Nico Rosberg is out on a new set of softs and he is round 1:22.775 before Lewis Hamilton goes half a second faster. Meanwhile, McLaren won't be getting Fernando Alonso back out. The Spaniard's helmet is off and his qualifying is over.

  19. The track is green again and Nico Rosberg wastes no time in getting back out for the final six minutes. 1:23.6/7 is the expected cut off point and Rosberg is right on the line at the moment with a 1:23.6.
