Neither Mercedes driver completed a final lap on the fastest super-soft tyres and Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg ended up fourth and fifth. Championship leader Rosberg aborted his final lap while Hamilton was sent out late and got held up by a Sauber. Hamilton told his team over the radio: "Really poor timing, guys." [IMG]http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/BA81/production/_92054774_skater2_getty.jpg[/IMG] Red Bull were paid a visit from skateboarder Ryan Sheckler - but did they clock the Mercedes tattoo on the right knee? It means Hamilton has not had a chance to simulate a qualifying lap ahead of one of the most crucial sessions of his season as he heads into the race this weekend 33 points adrift of Rosberg in the championship with 100 points still available in the remaining four races. Hamilton really needs to beat Rosberg to keep his title hopes realistically alive this weekend.

However, Mercedes have the ability to turn their engine up further for qualifying and have usually had enough pace to stretch their legs and take pole position. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was sixth quickest, ahead of Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, Williams' Valtteri Bottas and the McLarens of Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso. Swami [/QUOTE]
