My word! What a qualifying session that was!
No eighth consecutive pole position for Lewis Hamilton and he has a tough day in prospect tomorrow in his pursuit of victory on a circuit where it is notoriously difficult to overtake on.

Sebastian Vettel is the last man out of the pits. He has the time to beat - 1:44.305.

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were the only two drivers not to set a time in that first run. What a moment it would be for Verstappen if he qualifies ahead of both of the Mercedes!

Tom Clarkson
BBC F1 pit-lane reporterQuote MessageThe atmosphere is electric down here. Everyone wants to know what Mercedes can do. The problem they have is that Ferrari can play them at their own game. Their engine upgrade means they can also turn up the wick as well. It is just going to make it harder for Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
