Here we go then. Ten drivers, one pole position. Who'll get it?
-
Vettel is one of 10 drivers who remain in contention for pole: Hamilton, Webber, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Rosberg, Grosjean, Raikkonen, Massa, and Gutierrez.
-
At the other end, Vettel paces Q2 and looks good to qualify in pole position.

So, the six who failed to get into Q3 are: Vergne, Di Resta, Sutil, Ricciardo, Button and Perez. Surprise for the McLarens.
