  3. Hamilton happy after trouble-free sessionpublished at 08:51 British Summer Time 10 April 2015

    "It was better than Malaysia - I got to do the whole session so I'm happy," Hamilton told BBC Radio 5 live's Jennie Gow.

    "Generally the car was feeling good and it was nice to get the running and the preparations. Hopefully that will stand me in good stead.

    "The Ferraris look like they were as quick as they were in Malaysia. But hopefully we're quicker."

  4. Vote resultpublished at 08:43 British Summer Time 10 April 2015

    The people have spoken...

    We asked you to vote on the most surprising of all the surprise race winners over the years - but is it a surprise who came up trumps?

    Jenson Button was your pick, taking 37.8% of the vote for his amazing win at the Canadian GP in 2011. Olivier Panis was second and Pastor Maldonado third.

    Time for Jenson to crack open another bottle of bubbly...

  5. Hamilton wraps up practice doublepublished at 08:34 British Summer Time 10 April 2015

    So, it's as you might expect at the very top of the order with Lewis Hamilton fastest overall at the end of today's practice sessions.

    His best time, set on the soft tyre, was a 1:37.219 - around four tenths faster than the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen.

    Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo takes third, a second down on Hamilton, with the second Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel in fourth. Nico Rosberg is 1.2secs down on team-mate Hamilton, although he did not seem to get a clean lap on the softer - and quicker - Pirelli tyre.

  8. Memo to Kimi and Nico - it's not Sundaypublished at 08:23 British Summer Time 10 April 2015

    Bit of needle on track there between the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes's Nico Rosberg.

    The two were side by side through the first corner and then continued to battle through the next few turns before Rosberg got ahead.

    Save something for Sunday lads.

  10. Low-speed shunt dramapublished at 08:15 British Summer Time 10 April 2015

    Daniil Kvyat just had an odd moment. With some flames and smoke coming from his left-rear brake, he was on a slow lap back to the pits but still carrying enough speed to run off track at the end of the long back straight.

    The Red Bull bounced through a gravel trap and was almost at a stop when it kissed the crash barrier.

    A soft impact but enough to remove the front wing.

  18. Accident no 2 for Massapublished at 07:41 British Summer Time 10 April 2015

    Felipe Massa is having a trying day in the Williams.

    The Brazilian, who span in FP1, lost his car under braking for the hairpin at turn 14 and skewed left into the barriers, his tyres squealing in protest as he went.

    The front wing of his car was taken off and he's off back to the paddock on the back of a scooter.

    Kimi Raikkonen has been out on a set of the soft Pirelli tyre and set the quickest time of the day by some margin.

    The Ferrari has posted a 1:37.662 - 1.4s faster than Hamilton's previous best, posted on the harder tyre.

    Hamilton and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg have gone out on the soft so a response should not be long in coming.
