    "I'm buzzing inside. A windy Silverstone is one of the best tracks in the world.

    "It's so close. Either of them making a small mistake could result in them losing the pole position."

  5. Ferraris well off pacepublished at 13:56 British Summer Time 4 July 2015

    Those first fast laps rather underlined the dominance of Mercedes this weekend.

    While there's little between Hamilton and Rosbeg, there was then a gap of nine tenths to Bottas in third for Williams, with his team-mate Massa in fourth.

    The Ferraris, meanwhile, are fifth and sixth, Raikkonen 1.1secs off Hamilton and Vettel 1.2.

    Ouch.

  6. All 10 drivers are outpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time 4 July 2015

    Ricciardo sets the first time on a 1:33.9, which is immediately beaten by Raikkonen and then Bottas.

    The Mercedes boys then come steaming through, Hamilton first on a 1:32.248, with Rosberg next, a tenth back.

  7. Belgium and Monza will be worse - Alonsopublished at 13:52 British Summer Time 4 July 2015

    Fernando Alonso talking to BBC Sport about McLaren's Q1 elimination: "DRS problem this morning and we found a solution and we could run in qualifying that was positive. I think we struck the maximum, a couple of tenth in front of Jenson.

    "Belgium will be worse, Monza worse, it sounds strange but this is the best qualifying for the season for us."

    Raikkonen briefly went eight but he loses the time for running out of the track limits at Copse.

    He's back in the drop zone...

    Raikkonen really doesn't need another early elimination.

    Max Verstappen: "I can't do anything."

    The handling and traction of that car has seemingly gone away from the Dutchman this afternoon despite finishing a strong third in FP2 yesterday.
