Chequered flag out, are there any late heroics? YES!! HAMILTON FASTER!! But then VETTEL FOLLOWS HIM ROUND AND TAKES POLE!!
1'
Rosberg is flying as time ticks down...
2'
Hamilton is just nine hundredths slower than Webber... than Vettel goes fashest! Two tenths faster than Webber.
3'
They're out again, and once more Webber is flying... 1:49.376 for the Aussie, that's a cracker.
5'
First round of laps, and it's Webber in front with a 1:50.875... from Vettel, Hamilton, Massa, Alguersuari...
7'
Lewis Hamilton's McLaren has been patched up after that bizarre Maldonado incident and he is out on the track. The sun briefly peeks its head out...
8'
Ooooh.... Massa nearly loses the back end, just about holds on but has to go over the gravel. A bit of a boo-boo there.

INCREDIBLE INCIDENT!! Maldonado swerves across in front of Hamilton and makes contact! That was deliberate! Amazing, and the Williams driver will surely be in big trouble there... And how much damage to Hamilton's car?

Alonso is in 13th and needs a time... he gets it! He goes fastest but JENSON BUTTON IS OUT!! He gets bumped into P13! Disaster!

Hamilton is in the traffic and dives up the inside of Maldonado!! He goes top of the pile, and that will surely be enough! No prisoners taken by Hamilton, but he looked to be within his rights...
1'
Kovalainen has a line of traffic behind him, and that will not make him the most popular man on the track...
2'
Webber fastest 2:04.542, from Button and Alonso... now Vettel to the top of the timesheet.
2'
Petrov second, Senna sixth - he'll need another lap to stay in the top 10 I think.
4'
Alguersuari goes second! Then Buemi fastest! It's all change here...
6'
We're under way again, and with limited time remaining all 16 cars (no Sutil) come out. And the rain has just intensified a smidge!
