  5. More on Alonso, Raikkonen tanglepublished at 13:08 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    Replays suggest that Raikkonen's Ferrari got loose as he accelerated out of turn two - cold tyres? - and got a tank-slapper on.

    As the speed was scrubbed off the Ferrari he was collected by Alonso running close behind, the two cars becoming entwined as they collided with the barriers on the left of the track, with the McLaren riding up on the sidepod and monocoque of the Ferrari.

    Raikkonen was lucky to escape injury there.

    Andrew Benson
    Chief F1 writer

    "Lotus had looked pretty competitive all weekend and Romain Grosjean duly made it into final qualifying in ninth place, only to not be able to run because of a hydraulic leak. Not without reason, he believed he could have been in with a shout of fifth place, which was eventually occupied by Nico Hulkenberg's Force India."

    "It's looking very much like a one-stop race. A two-stop is pretty much the same race time, but there is a greater risk of being stuck in traffic. Tyre degradation is very low, although there is a risk of graining - where the surface of the tyre tears and then the pieces of rubber get stuck to the surface, reduction grip - on both the left rear and right front.

    "The stops should be around the mid-20s in terms of laps. For those outside the top 10, starting on the 'soft' tyre will be tempting, as it gives them the opportunity to run long into the race before stopping, and gaining track position. It does not look like rain at this stage, but the teams say the weather forecasts have been unreliable."

  20. Hulkenberg wants to do some 'damage'published at 12:46 British Summer Time 21 June 2015

    Sahara Force India driver Niko Hulkenberg tells BBC Sport what he hopes to do this afternoon: "Hopefully more damage. There will be some real quick cars pushing from behind but I'm ready for comeback. I hope the guys at the back won't appear in my mirrors. Hopefully we should be on for a good result and some more points."

    The German starts from fifth on the grid.
