'Frustrating at times'published at 14:41 British Summer Time 29 April 2017
Fernando Alonso qualified 15th and had this to say: "I felt good and competitive and the grip was there on the straight but we were losing big times today. Definitely been frustrating at times but we need to think about tomorrow and we know that this circuit is power sensitive."

More from Sebastian Vettel: "In qualifying Mercedes have been very, very strong. I am sure it will be very close tomorrow. Especially over the long run. We will see but for now are full, of joy. We are back, at least if you talk about the front row."

Kimi Raikkonen, who qualified second: "I got some traffic on the last set and it was a bit more tricky and I tried to get it back on the last corner but much happier than in previous qualifying. It is one for the team and not too bad."

Sebastian Vettel, who qualified on pole position: "I had a good start to the session and was feeling reasonably comfortable. I lost a bit of rhythm in Q2 and then in Q3 the first run was not really tidy and I left it to the end. I knew it would be tight, I knew I would be the first one crossing the line. I got Valtteri's time and he did not manage to improve and when I got the message I had got it I was over the moon.
"If you have a rhythm here it feels fantastic. I am glad I got it back. It is great to have both cars on the front row but it is only part of the job done."

Mercedes' run of successive pole positions ends at 18 - a run that goes back to Monaco last year.
It is also the first time in 31 races they have not got a car on the front row.
Unfamiliar territory.

It's Ferrari front row lockout for the first time since the 2008 French Grand Prix as Kimi Raikkonen takes second on the grid.
Valtteri Bottas takes third with less than a tenth of a second seperating the top three. Wow that's close!
