Adam: Time for a bit of a mad hatters qualifying, bit wet to mix it up, then in an hours time, all change with the penalties...
Jeremiah: Despite the awful practice by Lewis, he may be a surprise Pole winner. He knows how to make best out of qualifying.

He's a second up on both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
Max Verstappen: "Quite dry on the back straight with a bit of wet on the corner."
Ian Fergusson (BBC Weather) on Twitter:, external All looking clear on radar ahead of the session.
The first qualifying session beings.
Sauber's Marcus Ericsson the first man out, on the intermediates.
Force India on Twitter:, external No rain at the moment, but the temperature is pretty much on the cold side!
...is 30%, according to race control.
Track is still damp from the earlier downpour though.

"Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz's decision to reiterate his threat to potentially pull out of F1 and heavy criticism of Renault has created a lot of headlines this week, but it has been given short shrift by Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene.
"'It is easy to be happy when you are winning four championships or easy to complain when you are not winning any more,' Arrivabene said. 'F1 is like this. You could have a couple of years when you are winning and a couple when you are losing and this is the beauty because if everything is predictable it is not a race, it is something different. You have to accept when something is gone wrong and happy when something is going right.'"
Our multimedia guys have played a blinder with this lovely potted history of the Austrian Grand Prix.
It starts of like an episode of Holiday '86 and then meanders through lots of lovely high-speed action, crashes and a particularly memorable interview between Murray Walker and Nigel Mansell.
Enjoy.
Rick Elliott: Hare given 37.5 place grid penalty for exceeding track limits.
Phil Crawford: 'Maurizio Harerivabeni'
Jason: McLaren's new "hare-odynamics" adviser arrives.
Andrew Bennett: Jenson Bunny claims to be at an significant disadvantage.
F1 journalist Daniel Johnson on Twitter:, external If you want to know, this explains JB's 25-place grid penalty. My head hurts.
Moonshine: Penalties against McLaren put off new entrants, F1 needs new engines, manufacturers etc.
James Stacey: These penalties are ludicrous - why penalise drivers for their engines faults? Why restrict manufacturers engine developments?
Keith McCormick: I used to rearrange my weekends around F1. No more. Boring, too many rules, no excitement. Tyre and fuel management killed it.
