There's no way we'll have qualy today I don't think. It's too wet and soon it will be too dark.

@virtualstatman: Qualifying at Japan 2004 and 2010 was postponed until Sunday morning because of rain. Australia 2013 was postponed after Q1 was completed.

Another 15 minutes.

Finally, the wait is over.

Q1 has started!

Ericsson stalled.

Mercedes in a different league. Great engine, great chassis, and a great driver lineup. Vettel has a car problem, should be safe though as the weather is getting worse

[tderias]

Hamilton's 3rd attempt and he still can't beat Rosberg's time. Gotta say I'm quite surprised by Nico's speed.

Yeah. I think they'll dominate this season unless reliability fails them.

Agreed. Watch out for Red Bull though. If Renault get their top speed up to scratch, they'll be right in there.

McLaren could rue the mistake of starting with the wrong tyres here.

[Joey Zyla]

Well done by Vettel and Red Bull to move up to third despite having car problems earlier in the session.

[Joey Zyla]

Marcus Ericsson has crashed/spun.

[tderias]

Wow. Ericsson almost caught out another car on track!

Session won't be restarted, as there was only 35 seconds left.
