Q3: Both Williams cars were in the final twelve minute period but it was going to be difficult to get too close to the front. Vettel would be out first followed by Perez and Rosberg. Both Williams drivers were still in the pits looking like they would do a single run to save a set of tyres. A 1m:15.619 from Vettel on a scrappy lap. A 1m:15.142 from Raikkonen with Hamilton going fastest with a 1m:14.486 but Rosberg would pit. Verstappen was now second with a 1m:15.103 but his team-mate Ricciardo would go second with a 1m:14.726.

The top ten would be Rosberg from Hamilton, Ricciardo, Verstappen, Raikkonen, Vettel, Hulkenberg, Valtteri, Perez, and Felipe. Both Williams drivers would be next to their Force India rivals on the start grid so Sunday's race will be very interesting. With both Williams drivers in the top ten it was a step forward after their last few races.

Q3: Felipe would be first out for Williams on a new set of supersoft tyres. Felipe would finish with a 1m:15.615 to be sixth but he would have to wait and see what the rest of the top ten would do.
