  1. Mercedes are a bit quick to get the tyre blankets off Lewis Hamilton's car and the Briton has to rush his preparation. Will that affect him?

  2. David Coulthard
    BBC F1 co-commentator

    Rosberg just got on the inside curve on his lap. That was enough to unsettle the car. That lost a lot of time

  3. ...Lewis Hamilton is into P1 with a 1:47.449 with Nico Rosberg's time not good enough to beat his team-mate. He's currently second, four tenths of a second off Hamilton's best.

    Valtteri Bottas is currently third, with Felipe Massa fourth and Sebastian Vettel fifth.

    The cars head back in to prepare for one more shot.

  4. Nico Rosberg is also out and there is nothing between him and Lewis Hamilton in sector one...

  5. Sainz

    All about focus and keeping calm for Carlos Sainz...

  6. Disappointment for McLaren

    You have to give it your all, but we didn’t have to qualify really as we were going to start at the back. I thought it was as good as when I got pole here a few years ago, but then you see you are a second behind. It is puzzling and disappointing. But it is not just me, it is the whole team

    Jenson Button

  7. Valtteri Bottas is once again the first to emerge on the track. Lewis Hamilton is also out for his first bite of the qualifying cherry.

    Right then, off we go with the top 10 shoot-out. Who's going to secure pole position?

  10. Eddie Jordan
    BBC F1 chief analyst

    “Perez has moments, flashes of brilliance. This is a great indication of what he can do.”

    Eddie Jordan

    Someone's confident!

    Nico Hulkenberg, Daniil Kvyat and Marcus Ericsson are in danger...

  18. No movement from either Mercedes driver at the moment as several other cars head out.

  20. Five minutes until Q2 ends and Valtteri Bottas is the first to break the silence and venture back out.
