Maybe: @LewisHamilton and @nico_rosberg should have a penalty shoot out. That might make him put a smile on it
Empire & Southern: Have him race this weekend in one of the Saubers or Manors, and then on Monday ask him if he's still happy being at Mercedes
Dave Thorpe: Arrange for a nice meal, table for two with Angela Merkel
Xavier Davis: Buy the man a beer.

It's made for Jenson Button, right?
Maybe not. He was down in P12 in that session - half a second down on team-mate Fernando Alonso.

niceguyrichy: I'd give him a Tickle Me Elmo :)
Nathan Tague: Probably retire him, realistically the only thing that will improve his mood as long as Lewis is his team mate
Quentin James: I’d get a face painter to paint a smile on. It might not cheer him up but he’d look less miserable to the rest of us

The dedication to get a good seat is impressive with many fans having queued long before the circuit opened with their deckchairs to nab a decent spot.

He suffered a fiver-place grid penalty in Austria last week for a gearbox change and it seems the gearbox might be playing up again.
Alonso on fire yesterdaypublished at 11:08 British Summer Time 9 July 2016

Image source, Getty ImagesFernando Alonso was on fire on Friday in the McLaren - 0.6secs up on team-mate Jenson Button in first practice and 0.8secs in second, and driving like a demon. In-car footage of one lap told part of the story, on a blustery windy day that made the fast Copse/Becketts section extremely difficult, the cameras caught one lap on which through 180mph Copse he had flicks of oversteer on both entry and mid-corner and yet he still improved his time. Inside McLaren, they wondered whether Alonso might be out to prove a point after Austria last weekend, where Button was lauded for qualifying fifth in the damp and Alonso missed out on a chance to make it into Q3 because of a team tyre mix-up.
There was the suspicion that Alonso was out to say: “Hey, don’t forget who’s leading this team.” Button had engine problems for much of the second session and did no set-up work as a result and said: “Fernando has found good pace and hopefully with some running and the new bits we’ll have on our car as well (on Saturday) we’ll be competitive.”

Have a spy at P7 there - Fernando Alonso the wily old fox looking good for McLaren.
That was after a decent day on Friday and it look like it wasn't a one-off for the Spaniard.

On his last lap, Sebastian comes out of the Club Turn 11 and bangs his hands together in frustration. Why?
He says on the radio it's a gearbox issue.
