  1. 'We are free to fight'

    Valtteri Bottas, who will start second, says: "Crossing the line being on pole then obviously Lewis had a better lap.

    "It was very crucial, he was quicker on that lap, as a team for us one-two, it could've been worse. We are free to fight so I'm looking forward to it."

  2. 'We're going to do our best as a team and keep the red guys behind us'

    Lewis Hamilton speaking to Sky Sports: "It's great for the team to have a one-two. We couldn't have expected this. Ferrari have been quickest all weekend and we were doing our best to catch up, but then the heavens opened and it was fair game.

    "It's so tricky out there, at the beginning it was dry and then it got wetter so it was hard to say how much grip we had.

    "When it was dryer it was a bit like doing ballet and tiptoeing trying to find a line. It was give and take all the way around. We've got a great position so we're going to do our best as a team and keep the red guys behind us."

  3. 'It's a bit about the car, but more about the driver'

    Mercedes front-row lock-out in Budapest. Hamilton is punching the air with his fists.

    It's a bit about the car, but it's more about the driver. That is why Hamilton is a four-time world champion and why he earns £40m a year.

  4. Team radio to Hamilton

    Team radio: "Yes, get in there Lewis! That was a beautiful lap!"

  5. What an effort from Carlos Sainz, who will start fifth. Pierre Gasly is sixth.

    Red Bull had enjoyed three good practice sessions in the dry, but the weather has not been kind to them. Verstappen will start seventh and Daniel Ricciardo 12th.

  6. Hamilton takes pole
    Breaking

    Just when it matters, Lewis Hamilton does it again. Pole position for him.

    The cameras focus on Toto Wolff, who punches the air. It is a Mercedes front-row lock-out with Valtteri Bottas second.

    Both Ferraris take the second row, with Raikkonen third and Vettel fourth.

  7. Bottas goes fastest.

  8. Vettel up to second. Ferrari one-two. Still going on.

  9. At the moment we have Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly inside the top six.

    It looks a lot drier in that final sector...

    Ferrari are working well in these conditions too, with Kimi Raikkonen now up to provisional pole. Vettel has just pitted with presumably a set of wet tyres.

    Hamilton is phenomenal in wet conditions. The track is wet. When the cars drive around they clear a huge amount of water especially on the full wet tyres which are made to just disperse water and give the drivers some sort of grip to prevent aquaplaning.

  16. Four minutes left. Can Mercedes deny Raikkonen the pole position?

  17. Raikkonen to the top.

  18. 'It sucks'

    Daniel Ricciardo, who will start 12th tomorrow, tells BBC Radio 5 live: "We just scraped through in Q1 but we had to use a soft tyre so that explained it and it was also cold, but we were aware of that.

    "Starting Q2 the rain was coming, so whoever was first on track was getting the best lap. Lance Stroll was in front of me when he spun so I had a yellow flag, and then it just got wetter and wetter. It sucks."

    When asked on how he will race tomorrow: "I'll find a way. It will be difficult but I'll find a way, we are out of position in 12th there. I'm not thinking about tomorrow yet, it just seems unlucky there, but it's all good."

  19. Vettel up to third, behind the two Mercedes. Hamilton now with some magic of 1:36.648, a second quicker than Valtteri Bottas.

  20. Less than one tenth separates the two Mercedes cars, Hamilton on pole at the moment. Seven minutes to go.
