I think Redbull definitely ahead in quali now. Ferrari seem to come back in race pace though, if not quite in finishing position.

And with more fuel, then he was even improving his own lap(and Hamilton´s first sector) during the second try. Amazing job Nico!!

Quite bad laps for Sebastian. What has happened?

Ricciardo ahead of Max, the Australian always hide a couple of tenths for the Q3, great job.

Was impressed by Rosberg early in his career, less so since 2014, but I think that was one of his best quail performances.

Ferrari definitely going backwards in the competitive order, not great. Just as well they've moved on to 2016.

I think Kimi had a clean sweep over Vettel in quali? He did well.

Since spain RB is faster in Q, and Ferrari is faster in race. Only question is will Ferraris be able to overtake RBs this time.

Ferrari being faster than red bull in the race in the last couple races is a myth. Circumstances skewed red bull's actual advantage.

I did not see any lap of Kimi. But besides him Ros was the only one doing good laps in Q3 today. Vet had many faults and damaged the car on his first run, Ric had a fault in S2, Ves in S3.
Ham had only a slight lockup in the hairpin on his second run, but his lap was too bad for this one...where did all the pace go?

Since Spain isn't quite right - Canada and Austria Ferrari were faster in all conditions - but certainly that's been the trend since around that time.

Google showing a chance of showers tomorrow, hopefully it rains otherwise it will be an easy Merc 1 2. Would be great to see Daniel and Max mixing it up front in tricky conditions.

In a SKY interview Vettel confirmed setup problems. Also Ferraris long run pace was bad yesterday. Imho RBR won't be able to match Mercs tomorrow, so chances are high we will see a bit of a boring race. FI vs. Williams could get interesting, but otherwise I expect quali order in the race.

Great lap from Rosberg, one of the best I've seen from him. Very much his race to lose. I suspect he'll be able to pull a gap to Hamilton through Sector 3 whenever he needs to and that should protect him.

Should be a good fight between the Force Indias and Williams. Will be interesting to see if Perez can catch the Hulk during the race.

Great job from Gutierrez too

Short run to the first corner so I don't think the start will be too exciting. Decent run between 2 and 6 for overtaking but I can't see beyond Ros-Ham-Ric for the podium (in that order). Ferraris will be in a race of their own, possibly involving Verstappen, then good racing from 7th back.
