"The wind is picking up which could play havoc with car set ups.”
Lewis Hamilton improves with his next effort, but so does Nico Rosberg and once again it is the latter who has the advantage, in P1 with 1:19.480.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel goes third fastest, 0.370s off Rosberg's time, with Felipe Massa fifth, Daniil Kvyat sixth, Max Verstappen seventh and Daniel Ricciardo eighth.
A little lock-up for Lewis Hamilton towards the end of his lap and he crosses the line with 1:20.120.
Nico Rosberg comes round next and it is a very strong lap, a 1:19.690 putting him top of the pile for now.
Lewis Hamilton is the first man out on the track as the final part of qualifying gets under way. It is a 12-minute shootout to determine the top 10.
