Rosberg gains pole as session is shortened in America
Heavy downpour curtailed Saturday qualifying session citing dangerous conditions and the session was shifted to Sunday morning, which too had the same conditions but the session had to go through. After the Q1 and Q2 the session was stopped as rain was persistant and heavier ending up in finalising with Q2 times as the grid positions for the race later that evening.

Note - Q3 was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. Vettel and Raikkonen penalised 10 grid places, and Stevens 20 places, for unscheduled power unit component changes. Sainz failed to set a time within the Q1 107 percent requirement - races at the stewards discretion.
