Here we go. The most exhilarating part of qualifying - the one-lap shootout for pole position.
The cars head back out onto the track...
Bit more rain falling? The sky has darkened and there's a few spots settling on the television camera lens.

We've only got 12 corners here so time is made from braking. There aren't a huge amount of opportunities to overtake. Hamilton will be looking at the data to see where he can make that difference.
Kimi Raikkonen goes third quickest but he is four tenths of a second down on Sebastian Vettel
Max Verstappen is P4 and then it's Daniel Riccardo, Sergio Perez, Nico Hulkenberg, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz.
Felipe Massa, meanwhile, is leaving it all on one lap.
It's quicker from Sebastian Vettel! He's on provisional pole position with a 1:08.360. That's just 0.082s quicker than Valtteri Bottas, so still all to play for.
Valtteri Bottas starts the final part of qualifying with a 1:08.442.
Let's see what Sebastian Vettel has got.
The top 10 shootout is under way!

It looks dry at the minute. The clouds look like they're full of rain but we've had an hour of practice and now qualifying.
It's incredibly difficult to predict the weather here. Very often you get these small pockets of rain. But it is dry and it should remain dry on the evidence we've seen.
Lewis Hamilton has been speaking to the media about his crash in Q1: “It is what it is. Of course it’s unfortunate. I tend to just look at it as challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them makes life meaningful.
“I just need to take whatever bubble of negativity comes from that experience and move forwards and try and grow from it.
“Very unusual from me. It shows we are all human and things happen.
“I will try to have as much fun as possible tomorrow. Years ago I came from quite far behind and had a great race.”

It's so tight around that cut-off- Massa in seventh for example. The margins are so close around here. Unless you're driving that Ferrari. They're looking so good. Vettel is clearly carrying the confidence from Mexico City last week.

This battle for pole position is going to be close.
Fernando Alonso improves to leap up to sixth. He's through to the top 10 shootout.
Everyone is going back out onto the circuit apart from Felipe Massa. The Brazilian is currently sixth.

Confusion in the pit lane as both Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen appear uncertain which car is being called into the weighbridge.
Four minutes to go and the drivers in the danger zone are:
11) Grosjean
12) Vandoorne
13) Hulkenberg
14) Magnussen
Daniel Ricciardo is the only driver on softs - the rest on supersofts - so it looks like he will be starting tomorrow's race on that compound. He's got a 10-place grid penalty to be applied so will be starting outside of the top 10.
