Ferrari have their tires in a better position again, temperatures getting to Mercedes but they still have half a second or so on their fast laps however the crosswind is really catching anyone and everyone out.
Winds are set to increase, dust is set to come back and temperatures are set to get hotter for qualifying... HOWEVER tomorrow is supposed to be cooler which benefits Mercedes.
It's going to be interesting to see if Mercedes' what I feel as a gamble will pay off, they've been setting their car up in each session this weekend at the start of the session when it's most dusty and are one of the first out in each practice session.
It could go either way both today and tomorrow!

And I hope we do get a decent race on our hands. It seems like with the conditions this weekend suiting Ferrari, they might have Mercedes...However, we'll have to see how Quali goes with the night conditions.

Looks close for quali. And Ferrari look to have good race pace. But like you say, the cooler conditions may help the Mercs. I'm going to Mercedes World tomorrow to watch the race in their cinema.

Seriously? Wow...Has that even been done before? This is the first year they've shown live races in their cinema I think.

Seriously? Wow...Has that even been done before? Nope, only this year. They've nailed PR this year. Looks good for your team today.

CONGRATULATIONS MCLAREN!
Alonso made it through! P9 With that sort of laptime, he has a shout at making it into the last bit of qualifying.
Mercedes & Williams look like they both have much more speed than they showed in any of their previous sessions.

Looks like P2 could be a real dogfight between Rosberg and the Ferraris

Alonso may even make Q3! Wow.... Yeah, if he does another lap like that it looks like they'll be in. It looks close to being p9/10/11/12 Going to be interesting to see how much more the other teams have. Looks like P2 could be a real dogfight between Rosberg and the Ferraris Ouch that was a real slap to Rosberg

Vettel almost a second slower and says "I don't think I can improve"?
I smell a fish from Ferrari...

Everyone keep an eye on will stevens over the year, he looks a pretty handy driver. Comfortably beating his teammate again.

We don't know if Nico made a mistake on that lap though. 1 second is insane, but the pressure is cranked up for Q3.

Crazy lap but Hamilton, like Hammer said we didn't see a mistake but we didn't see his lap so who knows what happened... however Mercedes look like they're 0.8 faster than everyone per lap.
Good session from Raikkonen so far.
Great result for McLaren, 14th isn't too bad. Already a mid-field team. 3 races earlier than I predicted.
Williams look like they've stepped it up this weekend compared to the last few races.
Interesting how the Force India is seeminly pretty fast at this track.
