With Sebastian Vettel back up top, and Lewis Hamilton demoted three places from his second qualifying position, it looks like this race could play into Red Bull's hands. However, it's a brand new circuit and still, after four sessions, there are plenty of unknowns and places to catch the unaware out.

We saw Felipe Massa crash out in qualifying, we've seen a stray dog running loose on the track, and we've seen plenty of dust off the racing line. The race is long, and it will be fascinating to see who gets to the end unscathed.

The Indian Grand Prix gets underway at 9:30am GMT with the Factbyte Factbox opening up an hour beforehand to provide all the buildup.
