Stewart: If Hamilton finishes ahead of Vettel on Sunday, the Championship is over. Ferrari need a 1-2 this weekend.
Ben Berwick: Pretty terrifying incident. Tracks need to make sure these covers are secure.

A delayed start to first practice and a abrupt finish to second practice.

'The next thing I knew there was no tyre'published at 09:24 British Summer Time 29 September 2017
Romain Grosjean has just been speaking to Sky Sports. He's actually got a big smile on his face as he says: "I am good. I am fine, that is the most important thing.
"I have just seen the footage. I was on the racing line and had a big hit on my rear right. The next thing I knew there was no tyre there anymore and I was spinning."
SESSION WILL NOT BE RESTARTEDpublished at 09:22 British Summer Time 29 September 2017
There's clearly too much work to be done to sort that exposed drain and race control have confirmed the session will not be restarted.

There's 11 minutes left but I can't see us getting any more running done in this session. Race director Charlie Whiting has just emerged from a safety car to inspect the hole. It's a big hole as well.

Looking at replays, it seems a drain cover came loose on the inside of the kerbing after Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen ran over it. Then the unfortunate Romain Grosjean came round, hit the drain cover and it obliterated his right rear.

Romain Grosjean is into the barrier!
He lost control of his Haas, there's debris on the track which appears to have come from his right rear.
Fortunately the Frenchman appears OK as he climbs out of the car.

Carlos Sainz has been having all sorts of problems today. He had earlier called his Toro Rosso "undriveable" and now says he has no power on the main straight.
"Box, box," he is told.
