  The first two practice sessions are done and dusted, with Nico Rosberg quickest in the latter. Not much separating him from Raikkonen in 2nd and Vettel in 3rd though.
  
  So are Red Bull getting to grips with their engine problems? Yes and no. Here's Vettel himself: "We are more or less there in terms of pace, which is very good news. For everything else we have to be patient. It is still early days, we still have a lot of problems we need to solve. But when we get the package together we seem to be on the right page, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow and Sunday."
  
  Possibly a touch early to be thinking about wins then (even if he has won 3 of the last 4 here), especially with Mercedes looking so strong. Hamilton had to settle for 4th in the 2nd practice, but he's still 6/4 favourite for the race win, just ahead of his team-mate Rosberg at 2/1.
  
  We should have a clearer picture of how everyone's set after the final practice which gets underway at 5am in the morning, and of course qualifying, which commences at 7am.
  
  Predictions?

  As was generally expected, Lewis Hamilton took pole for tomorrow's race in qualifying this morning. More surprising though was Vettel's impressive session, he'll start 2nd on the grid. Can he keep up that pace for a full 56 laps? The bookies give him a decent chance, he's 9/2 to win the race behind only Rosberg at 10/3 and Hamilton, the 5/6 favourite.
  
  Here's the grid in full:
  
  1) Hamilton 2) Vettel 3) Rosberg 4) Alonso 5) Ricciardo 6) Raikkonen 7) Hulkenberg 8) Magnussen 9) Vergne 10) Button
  
  11) Kvyat 12) Gutierrez 13) Massa 14) Perez 15) Bottas 16) Grosjean
  
  17) Maldonado 18) Sutil 19) Bianchi 20) Kobayashi 21) Chilton 22) Ericsson
  
  And the race gets underway at 09:00 tomorrow morning.

  So as expected, a Mercedes one-two, with Hamilton taking the chequered flag. Third for Vettel, not too shabby...
