We're going to wrap up this live page now. Thanks for being with us.

So Lewis Hamilton will start from pole tomorrow seeking a victory that will ensure the title race goes down to the wire in Abu Dhabi, while in the other half of the Mercedes garage Nico Rosberg will be going all out to wrap up his maiden crown this weekend. 

Throw in uncertainty over the weather and it's shaping up to be compelling viewing. 

Andrew Benson's report is here We'll be back with you at 14:30 GMT for all the build up to the race. See you then.

Which is the same number as Renault have managed, the first of which was delivered by Jean-Pierre Jabouille in 1980.

Despite a crackerjack lap to put him third on tomorrow's grid, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was self-critical in the post-race interviews.

"I struggled the whole qualifying," admits the Finn. 

"To be honest, the last lap was pretty average but it was enough for third, the Mercedes are bit a too far."

A familiar refrain...

"It was exciting. It was very close. Lewis was marginally quicker in the end," says Rosberg.

"Pole isn’t always the guy who wins the race so I’m still optimistic for tomorrow."

A cool and calm Lewis Hamilton is speaking to the media post-quali, here are his thoughts:

"Honestly I felt quite comfortable in qualifying as I have all weekend. Nico's been going quicker and quicker but I've generally had it covered.

"This is the best I could have hoped for coming to Brazil. It's always a track I've struggled at so I'm glad to be at the front."

And asked about the prospect of rain tomorrow making the race a lottery: "I don't mind, I'm ready for whatever."

That was pole number 60 for Lewis Hamilton in F1 - making him only the third man in history to pass the mark after his hero Ayrton Senna (65) and record-holder Michael Schumacher (68).

Ferrari were enthusing over the radio to Raikkonen after that lap. 

His reply? 

"That's a surprise because the first part of the lap was no good. I was pretty average."

"The Englishman will start on pole and he holds at bay Rosberg's attempt to take the title. What a grand prix we are on for tomorrow."

After both set searing times in the first sector, both Hamilton and Rosberg fell away slightly in the final sector. 

Rosberg crosses the line 0.102s behind Hamilton and will have to settle for second place.

Third place goes to Kimi Raikkonen in the Ferrari. Very impressive performance by the Finn, albeit six tenths shy of the dominant Silver Arrows.

"We've got to a keep an eye on this weather, it could do anything right now."

Grosjean the only man out there right now, doing his own thang in the Haas.

The other nine are cracking their knuckles in the pits. 

Three minutes to go, and here they all come...

Kimi Raikkonen: "I lost two tenths from the last corner to the finish line. I don't know why."
