  2. Sebastian Vettel heads out first, followed by Lewis Hamilton.

  3. Lewis Hamilton has been pretty flawless so far this weekend, will he put it all together in these next 12 minutes and secure pole position number 65 of his career?

  4. Final qualifying starts

    Here we go.

    The top 10 shootout is under way.

  5. Tom Clarkson
    BBC Radio 5 live commentator

    What will see now are the engine modes amped up by the top teams. I think that will leave Red Bull behind. It will be too much to see them properly troubling the top two.

  6. John Watson
    Former F1 driver

    I wonder where we are with the teams? Mercedes have shown their pace. But where is Vettel? What have Ferrari left in the tank to ideally put their car on pole?

  7. Romain GrosjeanRex Features

    Yep, you guessed it. It was Romain Grosjean moaning.

  8. Pop quiz, which driver just said this:

    "Unbelievable. Nothing, absolutely nothing. That set of tyres we put into the bin."

  10. John Watson

    It is not a puncture for Kyvat, he has absolutely mullered that rear right rim. He gave a 90 degree slap to the wall.

  11. Daniil KvyatRex Features

    Daniil Kvyat is out and limping back to the pits. He absolutely slapped his right rear into the wall. Big damage to the rim and a punctured tyre as a result.

  17. Three minutes to go in Q2 and the drivers in danger of elimination are:

    11) Kvyat 12) Sainz 13) Alonso 14) Grosjean 15) Palmer

  18. Fernando AlonsoEPA

    Good to see a McLaren hasn't broken down yet, but it's not a trouble free session for Fernando Alonso.

    "I have less power than Q1," he says. Not good news. He's 13th and needs an improvement to get into the top 10 shootout.

  19. Sebastian Vettel gets all out of shape at the exit of Turn 2 and that scuppers his lap. He's two tenths down on Lewis Hamilton but is comfortably into Q3, so pits.

    Nevertheless, any mistakes by Vettel will please Hamilton. There'll be no room for error in Q3.

  20. Lewis Hamilton pits as Kimi Raikkonen goes second quickest, just eight thousandths of a second slower than the Mercedes.
