    "I am at Williams and Felipe Massa, because he is behind his team-mate in the championship, is having to use the old front wing. The new one has an extra element in it and it is doing exactly what it is meant to be doing. There is direct correlation with the downforce shown in the wind tunnel and on the track. All these little increments will take them to victory lane. Massa will have this wing at the next race at Spa and it will help push them forward."

    We might not be racing, but Nico Rosberg tries to have a little nibble at Pastor Maldonado, attempting to sneak in on the inside of the Venezuelan. Maldonado defends, forcing Rosberg to back off.

    Williams are in no rush to send their drivers out, with Red Bull only just making their first appearance of the afternoon as Daniil Kvyat makes his way on to the circuit. His first timed effort of the session sees him slot in second fastest, a shade under two tenths of a second off Lewis Hamilton's best.

    Just under 15 minutes in and Lewis Hamilton takes his place at the top of the timesheet as he posts a 1:26.132, over a second faster than Sebastian Vettel in second. Kimi Raikkonen is third, with Carlos Sainz fourth.

    "Force India have these large screens up blocking our view so we can't see Sergio Perez's car but we can see Nico Hulkenburg's and it is also problematic. The rear does not have the rear wing on it, they are going to put the race engine in ready for tomorrow which means no more running today.

    "Disappointing and costly as well, they suspect around £200,000 worth of damage to Sergio's car."

    Roberto Merhi is back in the Manor after Fabio Leimer was given a run out in the morning and he sets the early pace with a 1:32.790. Will Stevens then goes almost 1.5s faster, but I suspect it won't be long before they are bumped down the timesheet.

    Confirmation that Sergio Perez will not head out for second practice "at this stage" after his crash this morning, and neither will his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg.

    They did not get much track time in first practice so Lotus will be looking to make the most of FP2. Romian Grosjean is suited up and ready and waiting for the track to open. Not long to wait Romain.

    "All year, the relationship between Red Bull and Renault has been marked by tension, with the team making clear their dissatisfaction at the performance of the engine. There are rumours at the moment about Red Bull wanting to end their relationship early and get a Mercedes or Ferrari engine as soon as next year.

    "In that context, Daniel Ricciardo was asked on Thursday whether he could sustain another year at the team's current engine level. He said: "Not the current one. A significantly better Renault I would accept, but as we are now, I don't think we could go with this performance again next year. Other teams will keep improving; we need a significant gain. With the rest, we'll see what happens.

    "'From what I understand in the next two weeks there should be a bit more of a plan in place, we'll see what happens after that. I'm putting a lot of my trust at the moment within the team. So when I speak to them and they say: 'Trust me, we're doing all we can to make sure we're going to be as competitive as possible for 2016'. That's all I need to hear for now.'

    "He admitted being a customer team again was not an ideal solution: 'Now, we're down on power. If we were to go as a customer in the next few years, will a [supplier] let you win? Do you actually have an opportunity to win in the next few years? That's the big question.'"

    It is over 30C in Hungary now, with the track temperature creeping into the 50s. How do drivers cope with such heat? A blast of ice to the face, like Daniil Kvyat is getting here, seems to do the trick.

    Amazing to think that in 1986, when the Hungaroring was built, it cost £5m. Now you can't get a top footballer for much less than ten times that amount.

    There's plenty more quirky stats, and some serious ones, in our Hungarian GP All You Need to Know.

    "This is an important session for Lotus, whose drivers managed only a few laps between them in the first 90 minutes. The problem was a lack of tyres until 15 minutes before the session - because Pirelli refused to release them until Lotus made their latest payment.

    "It takes an hour or so to warm the tyres up to working temperature in the blankets in the pits. Hence the problem. Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean now have to do pretty much all their Friday preparation in one session."

    Fifteen minutes until second practice gets under way and there will be plenty of work to do for all the teams after a first practice session disrupted by two red flags - one for Sergio Perez's crash and one for when Kimi Raikkonen's front wing collapsed, leaving debris on the circuit.

    You'll be able to watch the session on BBC Two and online at 12:55 BST, with live commentary also on 5 live sports extra.
