    While we wait for the rain to subside, have a watch of this video as Tom Clarkson gets to know Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz.

    Tom asks if the 21-year-old Spaniard harbours ambitions to be a rally driver like his father, and if he thinks he is the best looking of his friends.

    I wonder if Jack Nicholls is regretting those short trousers now, unless he is safely ensconced inside the commentary box.

    This is the view from the back of said commentary box. Could easily be looking out over Silverstone. That's proper rain right there.

    Pole's the goal but it isn't a sure fire path to victory at Hungaroring, as Lewis Hamilton is all too aware of. He got it last year, but failed to convert it into victory as Sebastian Vettel won it for Ferrari.

    Ferrari are not having a happy time in Hungary, which has continued the impression of a team whose season is falling apart around them. After contending for victory in Canada, the team have fallen dramatically backwards and the layouts of the Silverstone and Hungaroring tracks have exposed the aerodynamic weaknesses of their car. 

    Sebastian Vettel appeared particularly unhappy on Saturday morning - 0.9secs off the pace and 0.3secs slower than team-mate Kimi Raikkonen. Unsurprisingly, back at base in Maranello, there are major changes afoot, set in motion by Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne. 

    He is forcing a modification of working methodology with the aim of increasing design creativity, which many close to the team feel has been their biggest failing in the last few years.

    This race is particularly significant with it being the 30th anniversary of the Hungarian Grand Prix. 

    From Nigel Mansell sealing the title in 1992 to Jenson Button winning his first race in 2006, there's been plenty of memorable races.

    Hello! Welcome back to our coverage of qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

    It's been so far so good for Nico Rosberg, who followed up posting the fastest time on Friday by topping the timesheets again this morning.

    Keeping him honest, however, was the impressive Max Verstappen, who was just 0.002s down on Rosberg's time in final practice. Add to that a hungry Hamilton, as well as the possibility of some rain, and we could be in for a very interesting session of qualifying.

    Lewis Hamilton certainly had fun when he rocked up on a motorbike this morning, but things haven't gone quite so well on four wheels so far in Hungary.

    After breaking his seat in second practice yesterday, he never looked particularly comfortable during final practice, and finished half a second down on Nico Rosberg.

    More trouble ahead in qualifying? Or will he put it together when it matters...

    Lots for Lewis Hamilton to think about. He made a number of mistakes in that session and clearly was uncomfortable in the car after having his seat swapped.

    Will he get it together for qualifying? We're going to park things for a brief brake, so I'll leave you with Andrew Benson's report while I grab a sandwich. 

    We'll be back at 12:00 BST for build up to qualifying. See you then.

    Mercedes will turn the engine up. We have seen them do that in every qualifying session this season and they will find half a second, but it is definitely closer between them and Red Bull.

    Half a second between Hamilton and Rosberg, though. That's a lot for Hamilton to think about over lunch.

    Good stuff for Renault today. Jolyon Palmer is 10th, with Kevin Magnussen 12th, although Magnussen has just angered Nico Hulkenberg. "Jeez, what an idiot," says the German after a near miss at Turn 10.

    One minute to go and it looks like Nico Rosberg is going to finish the session quickest. Max Verstappen, currently P2, is back in the pits. Daniel Ricciardo (third) and Lewis Hamilton (fourth) are still out there.
