As in third practice, the Championship leader finished almost half a second faster than teammate Nico Rosberg.

Williams's Valtteri Bottas will start on the second row on the grid alongside Lotus driver Romain Grosjean, while Force India's Sergio Perez ended in fifth spot.

However, there was disappointment for Ferrari, who had Sebastian Vettel only qualify in ninth and Kimi Raikkonen break down as he secured 14th position.

McLaren duo Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso finished in 17th and 18th respectively, but it had already been determined that they would begin the race at the back of the grid.
