Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the all-important qualifying session for the Belgian Grand Prix. Q1 begins at 13.00 BST.

Rosberg goes second quickest on the intermediates and that should do unless the circuit dries rapidly.

Hamilton quickest from Ricciardo, Bottas and Button. Rosberg, Alonso and Raikkonen still outside the top ten.

HAMILTON FASTEST: He tells his team not to speak to him during the lap! Despite locking up and running off, he’s still quickest.

Ricciardo now the fastest man on the track, on the intermediates. Bottas second from Button. Hamilton locks up and overshoots on the intermediates. Getting interesting.

Now Bottas goes fastest on the full wets with a 2.10.750.

So Kvyat goes fastest but is usurped by Vergne.

Kvyat runs wide at Rivage, not a lot of grip out there.

The forecast is for more rain towards the end of Q1. Ferraris also on the full wets.

The Marussias are followed out by the two Caterhams and Toro Rossos. The track now very busy. Hamilton out on the intermediate, Massa on the full wets.

Q1 underway. Looks like intermediates will be the tyres to start with on a rapidly drying circuit. Marussias out first on the intermediates.

FIVE MINUTES TO Q1: The good news is that the rain has abated and the sun is out. The circuit can dry extremely quickly here.

Finn Valtteri Bottas was quickest of all in the final session of free practice in his Williams, ahead of Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Rosberg. But with the heavens opening, it could make for a very interesting session, if indeed it gets underway on time. Absolutely teeming down here!
