Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel are perfectly placed to claim their third successive win at the start of F1 2018 after the championship leader snatched pole position from Kimi Raikkonen to head another Ferrari front-row lockout.
World champion Lewis Hamilton abandoned his final lap after a mistake at the penultimate corner and will start a distant fourth after losing out to Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
On a chastening day for the team which has dominated F1 for the past four years, Mercedes were soundly beaten, the Silver Arrows half a second slower than Ferrari in the top-10 shootout.
Race underway at 9am
