Ferrari Mercedes Ferrari marginally behind. Hamilton was 0.262secs down on Vettel’s best lap. Vettel said: “I was very happy that I got the second run and I got it clean. The car has been excellent all weekend so far, so I am looking forward to the race. “I feel good now, but tomorrow is a different story and it is a long race.” Daniel Ricciardo lines up in fifth for Red Bull, but his team-mate Max Verstappen had a 140mph shunt and will start 15th.
