    Sebastian Vettel is a lucky, lucky boy.

    He clings on to P15 to progress to Q2.

    The drivers to get the chop are Marcus Ericsson, Felipe Nasr, Alexander Rossi (on his home track), Will Stevens and Carlos Sainz.

    Daniel Ricciardo, with his final lap, sneaks in a 1:56.495. It's enough to put him top - and what about Rosberg? It's close... oh, 0.179secs behind the Australian.

    That makes the top three RIC, ROS, HAM after Q1

    Less than a minute left, and Hamilton times a flying lap to perfection. Rosberg can't improve. Max Verstappen slides into fourth.

    Nico Rosberg questions why he is being kept out there. His team tell him it could be the only session - which is a good point.

  6. Ricciardo leadspublished at 14:26

    Nico Rosberg sets a tremendous lap. 1:57.469.

    But it doesn't last long - Daniel Ricciardo, despite a wobble, leapfrogs with a 1:57.163.

    Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel clips the wall and causes damage.

    I know it's obvious, but how good is Lewis in the wet?

    He reduces his time to 1:58.025.

    Daniel Ricciardo is in at second, only 0.160secs behind. Daniil Kvyat is third.

    Five minutes of Q1 remaining.

    Lewis Hamilton says the track is better. Nico Rosberg is quickest in sector one. Times are going to tumble.

    We're under way again. It's unlikely Carlos Sainz will be back out - as it stands he'll progress to Q2, but I can't see it happening, with five eliminated in this round.

    So, is what we believe is correct, the first 10 minutes were supposed to be the most useful for setting a time. We've passed that.

    Qualifying is set to restart in two minutes - the Ferraris are out in the pit-lane and are raring to go.

    Only 11 drivers registered a time before that red flag - the timer is stopped with 12:46 remaining in Q1.

    Here's the order:

    HAM, RIC, KVY, VES, BOT, BUT, MAS, GRO, MAL, ERI, SAI

    It's Carlos Sainz who is off at turn four, clipping the kerb and hitting the barrier. Both front wheels look a bit drunk and are on the floor.

    "I crashed. Sorry," says Sainz. Apology accepted.

    The first laps are coming in. Guess who's top? I'll give you one guess.

    You got it - Lewis Hamilton in 1:59.393. The only sub-two minutes.

    Oh - and we have a red flag already...

    Force India tell Sergio Perez the best weather will be in the first 10 minutes.

    Kimi Raikkonen chuckles as he explains the conditions are bad. Kimi, chuckling? Surely not.
