Everyone has made the switch to the supersofts and the lap times are tumbling now. Sergio Perez and Sebastian Vettel have a spell at the top of the timesheet before Fernando Alonso goes quickest with 1:26.047.
Valtteri Bottas proves it is dry tyres time as he leaps into P1 with 1:30.647, putting him a second clear of the rest.
Four minutes to go in Q2.
"Box this lap, we'll get three laps on dry tyres," Jenson Button is told.
The Briton is a little uncertain about the switch, responding with: "It is so difficult."
Daniel Ricciardo has also put on the supersoft compound of tyres, as has Fernando Alonso.
Williams think it is dry enough to switch tyres as Valtteri Bottas emerges from the pits with super softs on. He's currently 14th.
Red Bull have looked a threat so far this weekend, and Daniel Ricciardo backs that up as he goes quickest after the first lot of laps. He clocks a 1:32.088, putting him 0.290s ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
Nico Rosberg is third, with Max Verstappen fourth and Romain Grosjean fifth.
Much of the circuit is looking dry now, but a short and sudden spurt of water kicking up from behind Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari as he approaches the final corner shows that there are still some wet patches about.
Inters all the way as the track gets very busy, very quickly. Sebastian Vettel was the first onto the circuit.
Q1 took over an hour to be completed, Q2 SHOULD take 15 minutes. Let's see what happens.

"I don't think this is a great advert for F1. The track hasn't been that wet.
"The standard of driving has not been great when you look at who's gone off and why they went off.
"These are the best 22 drivers in the world, but give them a drop of rain and it really sorts the men out from the boys."
1) Rosberg 2) Hamilton 3) Alonso 4) Vettel 5) Grosjean 6) Sainz 7) Kvyat 8) Raikkonen 9) Nasr 10) Button 11) Gutierrez 12) Ricciardo 13) Verstappen 14) Perez 15) Hulkenberg 16) Bottas
17) Palmer 18) Massa 19) Magnussen 20) Ericsson 21) Wehrlein 22) Haryanto
Rio Haryanto's binned his Manor, slamming it into the barrier at Turn 10. He's OK, but Q1 won't be restarted.
By hook or by crook we have finally made it to Q2!
Unbelievable! We have another red flag!!!
Fernando Alonso goes quickest, but he is quickly knocked off P1 by Lewis Hamilton, who sets a 1:34.210.
Kevin Magnussen has opted for a potentially risking tactic. He is back out on wets and needs to improve to avoid being eliminated. Every other driver has inters bolted on.
Felipe Nasr, by the way, is P1 at the moment.
In trouble are Magnussen, Gutierrez, Sainz, Wehrlein and Haryanto.
We go again.
Five minutes on the clock as Fernando Alonso leads the cars back out onto the track.
