I predict Massa and Dan fight up top and Dan wins Massa messes up and finishes 5th despite fighting for 1st and Dan wins with Alonso and Kimi 2nd and 3rd....

Double Ferrari Podiums. Ric first win. HAM and ROS 4th and 6th. Hulk and Sergio 7 & 8 Button 9 and Grosjean. 10th.

Maldonado crashes exiting his garage..... after his first pit stop.... blames it on slippery floor and too much torque from his car. Vettel can't overtake anyone and qualifies 11th and finishes 11th with a train behind him..... Sutil blows a tire somehow and heDNF

Looks like another Merc and RBR front row. Rain or not.

Hamilton 1.265 secs faster than Rosberg?!?

Rosberg was surely sandbagging?

Saying that, other drivers had big gaps to their team mates also.

Ham's got this all sewn up.

Revised guess:

1. HAM
2. VET
3. ROS
4. RIC
5. ALO

I don't see it changing from as it is now.

Great job by both HAM and RIC. Not sure VET will have any excuse for that one.

Well I was wrong, he really was quicker than him in this session, very impressive!

I wonder if HAM has a slightly safer setup due to not having had so long to set it up right on the edge.

Well, seeing where McLaren are this year (not to mention last year), I guess Hamilton's move to Mercedes is proving to be an inspired choice.

Rosberg was all over the place today, he screwed both of his laps on the last set, trying too hard perhaps?
Great Q3 by Ricciardo, before the long straight he was actually on target for pole, after...
Nice evolution for the Williams team under these conditions, when he doesn't have MS or Alonso as a team mate Massa actually looks decent in the rain.
