    You want these wet tyres in the best possible condition they can be in 10 minutes time when the track is at its driest.

    More bother for Lewis Hamilton?

    He's just told his Mercedes team he has "quite a lot of smoke coming out of my right radiator" as he sat at the end of the pit lane waiting for the green light.

    He's away now. Watch this space.

    The rain has stopped again as the safety car whizzes around the circuit. In the circumstances, conditions don't look too bad. Hopefully we should be back up and running sharpish.

    "There is too much water for these tyres," Vettel says. Remember Vettel said in Silverstone the extreme wets were "basically just good enough to follow the safety car"

    The clock is stopped at 13 minutes. Interestingly, as it stands, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are in the drop zone after they got caught in traffic.

    The top of the order is currently: 1) Perez 2) Hulkenberg 3) Alonso 4) Nasr 5) Ricciardo 6) Bottas 7) Massa 8) Grosjean 9) Vettel 10) Palmer

    "Too much water for these tyres," says Sebastian Vettel. 

    No spins or offs but the conditions are truly terrible as the cars tip toe round.

    Felipe Massa kicks things off with a 1:43.999. A normal lap time around this circuit is roughly 1:20, so no surprises we are way off the pace.

    Every single car is out on the track now as Felipe Massa is told to make the early laps count.

    No pressure then.
