    Confused cheers down at Club throughout all that will he, won't he antics with Jenson Button.

    At one point the voice over the speaker system suggested chanting his name as if urging a band for an encore.

    It didn't work in the end and now the fans' cheers are reserved for Lewis Hamilton. There's a huge roar everytime he blasts down the start/finish straight.

    Q3 begins

    So, in 2015, Lewis Hamilton was on pole here.

    The year before it was Nico Rosberg.

    Who'd bet against it being one of them now?

    A radio message from Daniil Kvyat, which is most bleeped out for potty-mouth-ness, suggests the Russian thought he was blocked by Kevin Magnussen when trying to clock a quick lap in Q2.

    England forwards Courtney Lawes and George Kruis are lapping it up in the garages.
