Nico Rosberg secured pole position in Japanese Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday, posting a 1-minute, 32.584-second lap to head his teammate Lewis Hamilton, who completed an all-Mercedes front row.
Daniil Kvyat brought the final portion of qualifying to an early end when he destroyed his Red Bull car in a huge accident in the second part of the Degner curve.
The Russian dropped a wheel onto the grass as he entered the corner, firing him into the outside gravel trap and barrier which rolled the car over before it came to rest right-side-up.
