    Hamilton was really the only man who went out on the super softs in Q2, its really worked at the moment and he is comfortably quicker. We have five minutes left to see if anyone can match Hamilton's lap.

    A stonker from Lewis Hamilton, but the Ferraris definitely have more in them. Kimi Raikkonen ran wide at the last corner, explaining his poor time.

    Anyway, out they go again. Daniel Ricciardo is on the soft tyres...

    Hamilton's been punching below his weight in this qualifying, when yesterday he was top in practice. Can Mercedes challenge Ferrari tomorrow?

    No one improved to jump up to that top 10. Alonso went out on the softs at the end to try and improve his time, but didn't. So he will be starting on the softs in 10th.
