The battle in the midfield was the most intriguing with both Force India and Williams drivers making the cut.
Haas’s Esteban Gutierrez just missed out on Q3 as did Button, Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Romain Grosjean and Palmer.
Hamilton led the way in Q3 after Rosberg had to abort his first lap due to an electrical issue. Ricciardo got ahead of Verstappen with an outstanding lap.
Raikkonen managed to beat Vettel once again whilst Hulkenberg was best of the rest in terms of the midfield runners in seventh.
Rosberg stormed to the top of the timesheets. Despite setting a purple first sector, Hamilton locked up into the hairpin ultimately costing him two-tenths of a second and pole position.
