Follow live coverage of qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix from Interlagos with F1i.

Following final practice it looks set to be a straight fight between the two Mercedes drivers for pole position, with Lewis Hamilton edging out team-mate Nico Rosberg in FP3 by 0.123s. Rosberg is seeking his fifth straight pole position after a recent run of good form in qualifying.

Ferrari would have hoped to challenge Mercedes on what is a relatively short lap at Interlagos, but Sebastian Vettel was over 0.6s slower than Hamilton this morning and Kimi Raikkonen a second off the pace.

Ferrari could come under threat from Williams with Valtteri Bottas quick in final practice, while Force India, Red Bull and Lotus all look capable of fighting for a spot in Q3 in what is likely to be a close qualifying session behind the front runners.

There is a sombre atmosphere in the paddock following events in Paris on Friday night, with Renault employees due to wear black armbands and Romain Grosjean carrying the Tricolore on his arm after numerous attacks on the French capital.

You can follow all the live coverage on F1i's live page, which can be bookmarked as it will provide commentary on every session of the 2015 F1 season.
