Nico Rosberg beat Lewis Hamilton in emphatic fashion to claim his sixth consecutive pole position for Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The German, who is also bidding for his third victory in a row, finished the session more than a third of a second clear of his Mercedes team-mate under the lights at the Yas Marina Circuit.
Kimi Raikkonen was third for Ferrari but his team-mate Sebastian Vettel fell at the first hurdle and will start only 16th.
