Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel again led the way in final practice this morning with a best time of 1m 48.327s, but he was only a tenth up on the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso and the bulk of the field was covered by just a second, with seven teams in the top ten.
Amazing stuff – Hamilton has done it again for Mercedes. He takes his fourth successive pole.
Vettel will join him on the front row, ahead of Webber and Rosberg. Di Resta has to settle for P5, with Button sixth.
Lotus will be disappointed with seventh and eighth for Grosjean and Raikkonen, but not as disappointed as Ferrari – Alonso ninth, Massa tenth.
