    The medical car has just run past me down the pit lane and a lot of spray came up from that so there is a lot of standing water on the track.

    It is chucking it down with rain now and there is a huge decision the drivers have to make about what tyres they start on.

    Now it becomes a question of what tyres the drivers will go on.

    Inters is the safe choice, but will anyone risk slicks? In this heat, when the rain stops the track will dry very fast.

    On strategy, the race is coming up as a pretty clear one-stop - although Daniel Ricciardo said it was on the cusp of a one or a two. A one-stop computes as quicker whether degradation on the ultra-soft is high or low in the first stint, but the higher it is, the more a two-stop comes into play. It’s probably a switch to super-softs after the first stint on the ultras, but Mercedes were strong on the softs and may well lean towards them.

    Race control confirms "low-grip conditions", so the rain is making its presence felt now...

    Seems fairly conclusive....
