    "Nico Rosberg made a couple of mistakes. It's very easy to let the lap time slip away. Psychologically, you sense Hamilton is in the comfort zone."

    Sure enough he does. Nico Rosberg is off the mark with a 1:25.262, which is swiftly bettered by Lewis Hamilton, who gets up and running with a 1:24.293.

    Nico Rosberg embarks on his first flyer but runs wide at Turn Three. Lewis Hamilton tears through the second sector and while Rosberg will set the initial place, it looks like Hamilton could immediately pip him into P1.

    There is a bit of a breeze now, though, which was absent this morning.

    The jovial '80s music, the bright red trousers, Alain Prost stepping our of a helicopter with a briefcase and Murray Walker with Ayrton Senna in the high-tech video lab in a field.

    Everything about the introduction to the 1985 Grand Prix of Europe was simply brilliant, so if if you missed it, I urge you to watch out for F1 rewind on iPlayer later. Plus the race highlights are on the F1 homepage now.

    The Hungaroring is a high-downforce track and McLaren say nine of the MP4-30's key components are adapted for that, which could account for their promising showing so far in Hungary.

    Well, it is either that or the golden boots the drivers are wearing...
