    Andrew Ogley: Strange seeing Mercedes so far off the pace. Especially Hamilton so far down the order. Hope they can improve before tomorrow.

    Jeremiah: Grosjean driving against traffic. Is that an outright penalty? Spoilt some good laps for other drivers.

    Less than two tenths between the top five while the top 16 separated by just a second. Tight.

    Bibhash Dash: Re 12:56 The not-so-happy one , maybe Ricciardo asked Mourinho if he wanted a shoey?

    I actually think Sainz is a bit of a star, he could be picked up by one of the bigger teams.

    That's unfortunate for Esteban Ocon. Force India managed to send him out and he got a time on the board but was nudged into the elimination zone by Romain Grosjean at the last second.

    Lance Stroll is in the pits with 20 seconds to go so he is definitely out.

    Jenson Button, who has a 15-place grid penalty to come, climbs up to 11th with a decent time of 1:13.723. That's only a tenth slower than Lewis Hamilton.

    Three minutes to go and Nico Hulkenberg is currently on the bubble.

    Below him are 16) Grosjean 17) Stroll 18) Palmer 19) Wehrlein 20) Ericsson

    Romain Grosjean spins at Mirabeau and for a brief but scary moment he is facing on-coming traffic. He just gets out of Carlos Sainz's way before getting himself pointing the right way again.

  13. Hamilton struggling?published at 13:13 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    It is ONLY Q1 and the front runners only need to do a time to get through to Q2 butttttt this Mercedes pace remains somewhat concerning.

    Valtteri Bottas is fifth with Lewis Hamilton eighth - half a second slower than pacesetter Max Verstappen (1:13.078).

    Jose Mourinho with Dec (feels weird writing that without 'Ant and').

    Never thought I'd be writing that sentence this morning.

    Daniel Ricciardo makes it a Red Bull one-two at the top as he goes fastest of all via a 1:13.219.

    Into the final 10 minutes of Q1 and in trouble are:

    Red Bull go top of the order as Max Verstappen rattles off a 1:13.278, 0.011s quicker than Sebastian Vettel.

    Everyone has been on the track now apart from Esteban Ocon. The Force India crew have been working against the clock to get his car ready for qualifying after crashing in final practice and it looks like they have got him good to go just in time. Ocon is about to head out.

    Sebastian Vettel lowers the benchmark with his next lap, doing a 1:13.289. Kimi Raikkonen improves but is two tenths behind while Valtteri Bottas goes third quickest, half a second slower than Vettel.

    AlexMediaStudio: Classic question, who is the all time better driver, Ham or Vet? Ham more natural talent, but Vet better overall package?

    Sebastian Vettel goes P2 with 1:24.1361 as Lewis Hamilton kicks things off with a 1:20.080.
