That means Nico Rosberg is on pole, alongside team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Jenson Button, eliminated in Q2, tells BBC Sport: "Halfway through it was way too wet. The problem is you don't know where the aquaplaning is. The last couple of laps I was cruising around - I was floating. I hope the delay is for a good while because you can't have them going out."
Q3 delayed until 15:05 GMTpublished at 14:57
We've been here before... We have a repeat of the delayed messages from yesterday.
Mercedes get the message a bit late as Hamilton springs out of the garage. "Stop! Stop!" shout his engineers. He gets the message.

Carlos Sainz, eliminated in Q1 after coming off the track, tells BBC Sport: "I've run those kerbs all weekend. It was because of standing water and a used tyre. I'm not sure I will make it into the race."

Conditions have worsened. There is doubt over whether they will come back out. If qualifying ends now, the top six will look like this:
Rosberg, Hamilton, Ricciardo, Kvyat, Vettel, Perez.
Don't forget that Vettel is due a 10-pace grid penalty though, as is Raikkonen, who is ninth.

Kimi Raikkonen has a little spin and then grumbles about the conditions. Turn 10 in particular is causing absolute mischief for the drivers.

Nico Hulkenberg zig-zags all over the place briefly, showing the difficulty of driving out there, but he's up to sixth.
The top five right now:

But Nico Rosberg ends the Ferrari one-two, skating to top spot. His 1:56.824 is almost a second quicker than second-placed Hamilton.

Nico Rosberg is quickest through the first sector. Vettel will be the first over the line in Q2, but it looks like it will be a feeler lap from the German.
1:59.757 for the Ferrari driver, with Kimi Raikkonen going in front of him.

Sebastian Vettel, probably more than a little frustrated, is at the front of the queue to leave the pit-lane. He has work to do.
