Rosberg may have set his quickest time under yellow so we will await the official classification

Just watched Rosberg's pole lap. There ware so many times in it when it all could have had cause to be aborted, particularly in the last sector. He may have been a little lucky as Vettel was also on a flyer and ahead, alerting the 3 cars they both passed en-route to their qualifying positions.

The pole time for Rosberg has been allowed as apparently he lifted slightly under the yellow flags.
