  2. A fascinating top 10 shootout in prospect then. 

    Ferrari were last on pole at Hockenheim in 2012, Red Bull in Brazil 2013. Either way, it has been a long time for the two teams. Will that wait end today?

    Carlos Sainz is limping his Toro Rosso back to the pits, his left rear wriggling about loosely after touching the kerb.

    It is the shock of the season to see the gap of 0.9secs to Ferrari.

  9. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg head back out. Quite amazing to see that they are nine tenths of a second off the fastest lap time. The top four of Sebastian Vettel, Daniil Kvyat, Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo are staying in the pits.

  10. Sebastian Vettel dips below 1:45, posting a 1:44.743 to go fastest. He is ahead of Daniil Kvyat and Kimi Raikkonen, with Daniel Riccardo fourth and the two Mercedes fifth and sixth respectively.

    In danger are Sergio Perez, Nico Hulkenberg, Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz and Jenson Button.

    Four minutes to go with everyone in the pits at the moment after their first runs.

    “Rosberg did the fastest first sector, a couple of tenths quicker than anyone else, so there is potential there.”

  12. Better from Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as they post near identical lap times - 1:45.650 and 1:45.653 respectively. Those are the third and fourth fastest times, with Daniil Kvyat top of the timesheet with 1:44.979.

  13. Valtteri Bottas kicks things off with a 1:46.247, although that won't be the benchmark for long as the rest of the drivers come round on their first runs in Q2.

    I think we are looking at a 1:46.2 to get through to Q3.

  15. Valtteri Bottas, with a fresh pair of supersoft tyres on, is the first to make his way on to the circuit.

    Very tight for Jenson Button but he is in second part of qualifying, and for once McLaren have not lost a car in the first part
