It looks like Carlos Sainz just kissed the wall at Turn 5. Could that have been the cause of the puncture?

Jennie Gow has just caught a word with Alexander Rossi, who says: "I braked a bit too late in Turn 18 and it was my mistake. I felt quite comfortable in the car and the pace was OK, so we will improve on that for tomorrow.”

BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporterQuote Message"The general mood is one of great disappointment you feel at Manor. This team just want a bit of luck, they need a little something on their side and it has not happened so far. Roberto Merhi is sat up on the pitwall at the moment and I am wondering what he is thinking now. I bet you one million pounds it would be: 'I would not have done that'.

Will Stevens is out of the Manor and the car is lifted off the circuit, with the little bit of debris that was there swiftly swept away. We should be back up and running very soon.

As Andrew Benson told us earlier, Alexander Rossi is not going out until later in the session so this red flag is for the Manor of Will Stevens, who loses the back end of his car and slides into a barrier at Turn 12.

Daniil Kvyat gets the session going with a 1:49.307, but the red flag is waved and it is for a Manor...

Chief F1 writer"Lotus were in court this morning, fighting to stave off administration in a case brought by Britain’s tax authorities. The judge upheld Lotus’s request for adjournment, giving them until 28 October, the day after the Japanese Grand Prix to resolve the issue, saying this would be the final adjournment.
"The interesting thing about the case is why the judge adjourned it - it was because the team said a deal for Renault to buy them was close and could otherwise collapse. The judge said he was satisfied a deal was close.”
