Sebastian Vettel crosses the line and he goes quickest! He does a 1:33.194.

Can either of the Mercedes beat him...?

Kimi Raikkonen loses half a second through the final sector. No improvement, but he's still on provisional pole.

Another personal best for Kimi Raikkonen through the second sector...

Lewis Hamilton is fastest of anyone through the first sector...

Here we go then. Kimi Raikkonen starts his flying lap. 

He sets a personal best through the first sector...

The focus is now on the front who is it going to be? 

Could we be in for a Finland one-two in qualifying? That's how it stands at the moment. 

A quick trip back to the garage and Sebastian Vettel is first back out on the track for a final shot at pole.

Valtteri Bottas is slower than the Ferraris through the final sector and he goes... second quickest, 0.036 down on Kimi Raikkonen.

Lewis Hamilton lost a whole chunk of time on that lap as goes fourth quickest, 1.2s down on Raikkonen.

Niki Lauda, watching on the screens in Mercedes garage, does not look happy.

Nico Hulkenberg is the first to cross the line with a 1:35.412 but he is nudged down the order by both Ferraris as Kimi Raikkonen does a 1:33.353 to go quickest with Sebastian Vettel two tenths down in second.

 Nico Hulkenberg gets past Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes keeps up the pursuit. "He's driving quite dangerously," says Hamilton. A distraction he could do without as he tries to build the tyre temperatures up for a shot at provisional pole.

Oooooeeee that was close. 

Lewis Hamilton doesn't appear to see Nico Hulkenberg and the two run very, very close as they battle for track position. 

Here we go then. The final part of qualifying is under way.

Rod Peel: Have merc already turned the wick up or can we expect more for Q3?

It is generally down to the confidence of the driver, you understand how to place a car and then their are circuits where your driving DNA doesn't fit, sometimes you have bogey circuit, and not saying this circuit is one for Hamilton but it certainly isn't one of his good one.

Cheers as Daniil Kvyat walks down the pitlane. The Russian gives the home fans a wave but does not look happy at all. He'll start tomorrow's race from 13th.

Rod peel: If there is no 1 and 2 drivers with Mercedes is there not a danger that the championship will be handed to Vettel as Ferrari have a No 1  

Sophie Maton: Come on @MercedesAMGF1, external you can pull it back...from this race forward you will be back on top
