    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra commentator at Interlagos

    It's now about bragging rights, ego and pride. Hamilton dented his pride when he crashed in Brazil. What we are seeing now is Hamilton at his best, he's been faultless.

    You don't go flat out in Q2 because you know you'll have to start the grand prix on the same tyres. You have to look after the rubber in this part of qualifying.

    Jeremiah Kariuki‏: Mercedes setting a new zone for themselves. Looks like even Vettel, who was giving it all, couldn't get close to the Mercedes.

    Fish Hailu‏: Lewis Hamilton will extend his pole record here but will let Valtteri Bottas win the race and hopefully beat Vettel who will retire in lap 15.

  13. Postpublished at 13:32 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Nico Hulkenberg is sixth, ahead of Max Verstappen at the moment, while his Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo is fifth.

    Tom Clarkson
    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra commentator at Yas Marina

    Hamilton did a great lap, it was seamless. Yes, he was complaining about the fumes but when he gets on that flying lap, he really can deliver.

  15. Track record again for Hamiltonpublished at 13:31 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Hamilton into Q3, with a track record of 1:36.742. Two tenths of a second faster than Valtteri Bottas.

  18. 'Vandoorne has lifted his standard'published at 13:25 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Mark Gallagher
    Formula 1 analyst on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra at Yas Marina

    Vandoorne is an outstanding driver. He really has lifted his standard to Alonso as the season has gone on. This is one of the reasons why McLaren feel very confident with this new Renault partnership for the future.

    Vandoorne was ninth, and Alonso 12th in Q1.

    Jeremiah Kariuki‏: Marcus Ericsson ends the season with the highest Q1 knockouts! What a record. He needs a better car next season.

  20. 'Huge disappointment'published at 13:22 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017

    Lance Stroll did a good lap, he was quicker than Alonso. It's a huge disappointment for Grosjean though.
