Lewis Hamilton starts from pole position as part of an unusual grid following yesterday's rain-hit qualifying session, with Nico Hulkenberg alongside him and Jenson Button starting from third place.

Kimi Raikkonen will start alongside Button on row two, while the third row is made up of Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Rosberg following a gearbox penalty for the championship leader. Sebastian Vettel has a similar penalty and will start from ninth on the grid.

Ferrari and Red Bull will be hoping the track remains dry as they are set to start on the supersoft tyre compared to the ultrasoft for Mercedes, with the softest compound suffering from severe blistering during FP3 due to high track temperatures. Saturday saw track temperatures exceed 50C, but the race is going to be much cooler and is currently 22C.

Rain throughout the morning saw a number of wet support races and there is a constant threat of showers, but the track is dry in the run-up to the start of the race.
