    Right, that's it. Somehow we got through 180 minutes of practice despite having on 17 minutes of action.

    Surely, surely, there won't be more of the same tomorrow? 

    Tune in to find out! We'll be back at 04:30 BST on Saturday.

    What a bizarre day that's been.

    The drivers have had effectively 17 minutes of running over the course of the two 90 minute practice sessions. 

    That means, more than ever before, they will be taking a huge step into the unknown tomorrow.

    The track has been opened, not to let the cars out but to let Lewis Hamilton through to get closer to the fans. He signs a load of shirts before throwing them up into the crowd.

    Say what you like about Hamilton, but that's a really great gesture.

    Twenty five minutes to go and the weather looks pretty much the same as it did at the start of second practice. 

    I really can't see us getting any track action and the drivers clearly think so too. Pretty much all of them are out of their cars and chatting casually with members of their crew.

    The appearance of Lewis Hamilton prompts huge cheers from the grandstands. He's holding his phone up to the crowd as he strides towards the fence.

    Despite basically staring at some empty tarmac, the fans are in great spirits - beaming smiles, waving at the camera. There's someone dressed up as Darth Vader, with the TV coverage caption making sure we know exactly who it is by captioning him as "Sith Lord".
