0'
Here's your order then... 1) Vettel, 2) Hamilton, 3) Bottas (stunning), 4) Rosberg, 5) Webber, 6) Alonso, 7) Vergne (pretty decent), 8) Raikkonen, 9) Ricciardo, 10) Sutil.

VETTEL TAKES POLE POSITION AT THE CANADIAN GRAND PRIX IN 1:25.425. His third in a row in Canada...
0'
Hamilton is flying though, but can he keep it together in the wet sector three? Locks up under breaking in the final chicane and aborts the lap.
1'
Vettel doesn't improve though. Webber almost smashes into the Wall of Champions as he desperately tries to improve his position of fifth. There's no grip in sector three.
2'
No one can improve. No one except Vettel who has flown through sectors one and two.
3'
It's chucking it down in Canada. Tropical Storm Andrea has dealt a cruel blow to Formula One fans. It will be near impossible to improve. The racing line has vanished.
4'
Lewis Hamilton is chilling in the pits, letting the action unfold on his monitor. His Mercedes parter, Rosberg, sits fourth now. 1) Vettel, 2) Hamilton, 3) Bottas at present. Ever-evolving.
5'
Webber manages to get himself into fourth, seventh tenths off his team-mates pace. Wow - Bottas goes third. I'm rooting for him. Quality driving.
6'
Raikkonen and Webber bumping around on the grass. Hamilton leaps into second. Alonso goes fourth. Rain coming down heavier. Is this over already?
7'
So Vettel goes quickest in a 1:25.4 but Rosberg can't compete and clocks a 1:26.0.
8'
The impressive Vettel, pole sitter the last two years, looks quick through sector one. 25 second dead. Matched by Rosberg. Red Bull vs. Mercedes for top spot.
9'
Keep your eyes on Adrian Sutil. I know Di Resta went out in Q1, but Force India have looked decent all weekend.
10'
Q3 is off. Rumours that more rain is on the way. Raikkonen heads the field.
-
Ten cars remain. Bottas had a blinder finishing fourth there. As did Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne who got himself into sixth.
0'
Both McLaren's out. Their woes continue. Here's who's gone after that mad conclusion: 11) Hulkenberg, 12) Perez, 13) Maldonado, 14) Button, 15) Gutierrez, 16) Massa.
0'
Sutil goes into 7th. Dramatic save for Force India. Ricciardo sneaks into tenth. I think he's also done enough.
0'
Gutierrez going slowly, doesn't look like he's got what it takes. Sutil might though...
0'
Button has had an absolute nightmare. He slowed down to get track space, but didn't beat the clock over the line. He's out.
1'
Crazy stuff. Everyone fighting for position. 25 seconds for the cars to make it...
