Lewis Hamilton leads Sebastian Vettel in final practice

The reigning world champion clocked a 1m34.599s - the fastest time of the weekend so far - on the soft tyre to finish 0.069s clear of Vettel.

The other Mercedes of Nico Rosberg was third, after a slow first sector, 0.369s off the pace, with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen fourth.

Raikkonen led the way after the medium tyre runs, with Ferrari team-mate Vettel 0.245s adrift in second - but the order changed significantly when drivers bolted on the soft tyres with 13 minutes of the one-hour session to go.

Rosberg was the first of the frontrunners to do a performance run, but his first sector was three-tenths slower than his best on Friday.

His team-mate Hamilton had a much cleaner lap to top the charts for the first time this weekend.

The circuit was very dusty early on amid blustery conditions, with winds hitting 20mph and track temperatures 15C lower than they were during Friday's daytime session.

The dirty circuit meant a number of drivers struggled for grip, with both Lotus's Romain Grosjean and Hamilton locking up on the run to Turn 1 and running wide onto the run-off.

Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa were fifth and sixth respectively, ahead of the Lotus of Pastor Maldonado, who was as high as fifth during the medium-tyre runs.

Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, who didn't go out until the final half-hour and ran wide at Turn 13 on his medium-tyre run, was eighth, with Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and Sauber's Felipe Nasr completing the top 10.

Jenson Button was the first driver out on track in a bid to make up for a loss of track time on Friday, when he completed just a handful of laps.

The Briton was the leading McLaren in 11th after 14 laps, five places and half a second quicker than team-mate Fernando Alonso in 16th.

Kvyat, who was caught out when he spun at Turn 4 and beached his Red Bull in the gravel, ended up 12th after the team got him back out for the final few minutes of the session.

Marcus Ericsson's Sauber was 13th, ahead of Max Verstappen's Toro Rosso and Force India's Sergio Perez.

It was a disappointing session for Carlos Sainz, who could only manage 17th, one place clear of Grosjean, who asked his team early in the session, "How can the car be so different?"

The Manors brought up the rear of the field, with Will Stevens eight-tenths quicker than team-mate Roberto Merhi. Both were within the 107 per cent cut-off time.
