'Like driving without wipers'published at 05:06 British Summer Time 16 April 2016
BBC Radio 5 live sports extraRed Bull team principal Christian Horner: "You’ll see people conserving tyres. The weather seems pretty set in for the day and with only four sets of inters and three sets of extremes, you’ll see pretty frugal use of tyres. It should be a bit of a leveller.
"It is quite fun driving in the wet, you get more feel for the car. Imagine driving a road car with the wipers off - that is what it is like at times."

If standing about in a jacket means ready to go, then Kimi most definitely is.
I can't see any drivers in any particular rush to head out. Felipe Nasr is milling about in the Sauber garage looking at his car, while Daniel Ricciardo is having great fun showing off the bin bags he has wrapped around his feet.

No-one is going out, though.
Maybe Renault need to ditch the cars and go for this...?

Breakfast of champions for Max Verstappen.
Although I notice that it looks like he has had beans and bacon in a bowl.
No-one eats beans and bacon from a bowl.

Chief F1 writerIt’s wet in Shanghai this morning, which means certain teams will be scenting an opportunity.
Prime among them probably the two Red Bull outfits and McLaren. Mercedes and Ferrari will be strong whatever the weather. Can the wet track help the Italian team?
Well, it is widely accepted that the Mercedes has more downforce - and that’s a help wet or dry. So Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg remain favourites to set the pace.

Chief F1 writerFriday was a difficult day for both Williams and Renault after worrying failures on their cars in first practice, two for Felipe Massa and one for Kevin Magnussen.
What initially looked like they might be three rear-tyre failures turned out to be a wheel problem on the Williams - caused by a part of the brake assembly rubbing on the wheel - and a suspension failure on the Renault, caused by we know not what.
Magnussen has some catching up to do after missing second practice but said the team were confident they could fix the issue to enable him to run on Saturday morning.

Chief F1 writerThe Ferrari challenge to Mercedes has proved ephemeral so far this season; will their raw pace on Friday translate into anything more solid in Shanghai this weekend?
Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel were one-two after second practice on Friday afternoon and the Finn showed decent race pace, too, on the super-soft tyre.
But Ferrari have been quick in practice before, only for Mercedes to stretch their legs when it matters. It would be a brave man who bet against that happening again.

What would you call an F1 boyband? And who would you have in it?
Also, how do you see today panning out? Could this be Ferrari's weekend? Do you fancy Lewis Hamilton's chances of a podium finish?
