Image source, Getty ImagesA bad weekend for Felipe Massa, who missed all of Friday practice after crashing at Malmedy on his first flying lap, has got worse this morning. The Brazilian has been given a five-place grid penalty for not slowing for yellow caution flags in final practice.
On top of that, Williams are struggling for pace - Massa and team-mate Lance Stroll were 16th and 15th in practice on Saturday morning. And this on a power track which should be relatively good for them.

BBC Radio 5 live Formula 1 analystThe battle for the front row of the grid is a bit hotter than I expected. Raikkonen has had the better of Vettel here so far. Vettel is the one who has to pull his socks up. Hamilton will be the one on the charge but it is going to be tight.

Raikkonen was 0.197 seconds quicker than Sebastian Vettel, who pipped title rival Hamilton by just 0.001secs.
Ferrari's pace, helped by a significant aerodynamic upgrade to their car this weekend, was a surprise on a track that was expected to favour Mercedes.
And Mercedes' concerns will be heightened by the fact Ferrari were clearly the quickest car in race trim in Friday afternoon practice.

But he has been edging closer to team-mate Nico Hulkenberg in recent races and on Saturday morning was four places ahead of him having looked strong on Friday as well.

Hamilton looking for bloodpublished at 11:54 British Summer Time 26 August 2017
Image source, Getty ImagesAs well as a 68th pole position, Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of reaching another significant figure as well.
Tomorrow will be his 200th race in Formula 1 and he insists he is as hungry for success now as he was before race number one.
“I’m here to win. I’m here to stay," he said.
"It is strange when you have been racing so long, this is my 200th race, you would think the passion and desire to win would fade but it is stronger than ever. And that’s exciting for me.
“One thing for sure in this second part of the season, the most prominent thing is that I’m here for blood."
