Qualifying top 10
1) Hamilton 2) Vettel 3) Bottas 4) Raikkonen 5) Ricciardo 6) Massa 7) Hulkenberg 8) Perez 9) Kvyat 10) Stroll
Toto Wolff says the 1,000th of a second that separated Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel is equal to 5.9cm. Incredibly close.

Mercedes AMGF1
FYI: The Shanghai lap record is a 1:32.238, set by M Schumacher back in the 2004 race... #LH44 has smashed that! #ChineseGP #F1 #Quali

I would quit if they made me drive this.....
Chinese GP: Hamilton on pole, Vettel 2nd
One to watch - Max Verstappen.
The Dutchman lines up 16th on the grid after a technical problem meant he failed to get out of the first part of qualifying yesterday.
It's wet, he's got to come through the field - shades of Brazil 2016.
If we get a drive half as exciting as that from the Red Bull man, then it's going to be epic.

Sebastian Vettel thinks it is more like Silverstone than Shanghai. It's definitely wet out there, and it's so cold Daniel Ricciardo says he can feel his nose running.
Most podiums
1. Michael Schumacher (155)
2. Alain Prost (106)
3. Lewis Hamilton (105)
4. Fernando Alonso (97)
5. Sebastian Vettel (87)

Max Verstappen is on the move. He started 16th, now 4th, what a drive......
You only have to leave the door open a tiny bit for Max Verstappen - he will always go for it and that is why we love him.
I have to say, he caught Daniel Ricciardo napping there.

Verstappen drove brilliantly. Looks like a great prospect for the future.
'I overtook nine cars on my first lap!'
"I didn't have a lot of track time this weekend because didn't do much in qualifying so I wasn't expecting to finish on the podium having started in 16th.
I would just like to say this again.....
Great rivalries and great seasons often go hand in hand. The rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel is shaping up to being one of the best.
Excited for the rest of the season? You betcha.
