    Very, very moody-looking clouds have gathered over the circuit. They are the sort of clouds that look like they could burst rain any minute and I should know as I live in Manchester.

    Haas are looking good. Very good. They are currently best of the rest with Kevin Magnussen seventh quickest, just 0.001s slower than Daniel Ricciardo, who is sixth.

    Jack: Lance Stroll, going for a stroll nearly gets taken out by a JCB!

    Ellie: Just watching Jos Verstappen in the Redbull garage. How much is he living vicariously through his son Max

    Sean: The supersoft pace was so poor yesterday that i'd rather be 11th on the grid on softs than 7th on the grid on supersofts. The soft seemed to have 1.5s per lap on the supersofts in race trim. I'd wager that's worth more than the track position

    Lewis Hamilton's first time in Q2 is a 1:17.166 but he reports that he was struggling with the rear on that lap. More time to come from him.

    We're going round in circles with Williams... they don't have the same money as the other teams but surely they have the heritage to do better than this.

    The more I see that Stroll accident, the more stupid it looks. It's like he just chose to drive off the track.

    It's been a really bad weekend for Lance Stroll, he's out in FP1 and now he's hit the wall. Down in 19th position six tenths off his team mate.

    That's the first time Sainz has out-qualified Hulkenberg, who very surprisingly is out in Q1 after apparent problems on his first run and a not-quick-enough second run.
