    It's a first pole position in nine years for Kimi Raikkonen and an all-Ferrari front row.

    It's been 129 races since Raikkonen last started a race at the front of the pack, surely he must be happy?

    "Thanks guys," he says.

    Classic Kimi.

    That Ferrari looks so nimble, so good around this circuit.

    It's shining more than any other car on this track. It's so impressive

    Valtteri Bottas has gone out before the Ferraris, so has a bit of clear air.

    It will take something special for him to prevent Ferrari being on pole here, though.

    Romain Grosjean and Jenson Button stayed in the pits, they are going for just the one lap in Q3 but the other seven runners have done a time.

    Kimi Raikkonen has provisional pole, ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas, Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz.

    The Ferraris are likely to be on the front row tomorrow, but I think a threat could come not from the remaining Mercedes, but the two Red Bulls.
