  9. The top 10published at 14:38 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    All the drivers were pretty spaced out after all that rain excitement.

    Nico Rosberg was able to ease home in second place, 10.9secs behind Hamilton and under zero pressure from behind, with third going to a no doubt elated Sebastian Vettel in the Ferrari.

    Massa takes fourth, Bottas gets home in fifth ahead of Kvyat, then it's Hulkenberg, Raikkonen, Perez and Alonso.

    "It is a familiar look to the top three. It is disappointing for Williams, I am not sure they could do much more. It is the luck of the draw. Hamilton coming in for the change of tyres was inspired in the end."

    "The plumes of spray coming past me on the pit straight are reducing with every lap so I think the drivers are going to have to go off line to protect the tyres to the end of the race."
