Good afternoon, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix. It's a Mercedes front-row lock-out in Barcelona, with Lewis Hamilton pipping Nico Rosberg to pole in the end, with Daniel Ricciardo third. Sebastian Vettel, meanwhile, starts down in 15th - expect him to come out roaring.

30/66

Pastor Maldonado is in 21st after his stop-go penalty, if you're keeping up with that.

29/66

The Mercedes pair are making their way through the stragglers at the back of the field now.

Remember that Hamilton and Rosberg are on different tyres as well. This is a fascinating little match-up.

28/66

Hamilton's lapping faster than Rosberg here - he's looking to extend that lead as they discussed earlier, but hasn't made much progress on it yet.

Grosjean, Massa and Vettel are divided by around two seconds in the squabble for seventh.

27/66

Nico Rosberg's told on the radio to maintain the gap of around 2.9 seconds, to save his tyres, and to attack later.

26/66

Alonso's past Grosjean as well and looking to make up the ground on his team-mate again.

A third retirement of the season for Vergne, who reported a problem with the car (if my ears were working correctly, I think he said it was a glitch with the exhaust).

25/66

This time Raikkonen gets past! He's now got Grosjean in between him and team-mate Alonso as well.

Raikkonen and Grosjean are looking a bit fierce down in the battle for fifth, with mistakes and aggression aplenty.

24/66

Rosberg's being told to close the gap. A proper race on here at the front.

23/66

"We need to increase the gap by about four seconds over the next 20 laps," the team radio tells Lewis Hamilton.

He's now just over three seconds behind his team-mate, and the pair of them are around 20 seconds ahead of Ricciardo in third.

22/66

Hard compound tyres for Nico Rosberg, in a stop of 2.8 seconds, a whole second faster than Hamilton's.

That looks like it'll be very shortly - the mechanics are poised.

21/66

Rosberg leads Hamilton by just over 20 seconds - so he'll likely lose that advantage when he finally comes into the pit.

20/66

Oh. Hamilton has responded pretty well to that, recording a new fastest lap of 1:31.214.

Rosberg's been happy with his tyres so far, and has just recorded a new fastest lap of 1:31.667.

19/66

Raikkonen and Alonso are locked in a duel for seventh place.

And Hamilton's into the pit - a stop of 3.8 seconds.

Ricciardo's back into fourth already, zipping past Perez's Force India.
