Sebastian Vettel was closest to Mercedes even if the pilot Ferrari finished almost a second behind the benchmark. Valtteri Bottas completes the 2nd line in front of the Toro Rosso de Carlos Sainz Jr and Max Verstappen.

Felipe Massa will start between the two RB11s.

Romain Grosjean missed Q3 for the first time this season. The Frenchman beat his teammate Pastor Maldonado. The Lotuses will set off in front of the McLaren de Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. Felipe Nasr took 15th place.
