    "Hamilton is keeping Rosberg honest and keeping the pressure on. What is disappointing is Vettel has dropped six seconds behind Hamilton so it seems the Ferrari does not have any challenge."

  7. Grosjean runs widepublished at 13:23 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    The Frenchman is running 11th.

  8. Get involved - Button retires #bbcf1published at 13:22 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    Jeremiah: Jenson has served his purpose! To serve the penalty and retire the car. Not sure he managed his objective of collecting data!

    Mihail Nesterovich: That was a really short testing session for McLaren today!

    Jonny Green: Something must change at McLaren. Another double DNF. A team that didn't exist at start of year has better reliability!

  13. Button going slowpublished at 13:18 British Summer Time 21 June 2015
