Everyone is on the ultrasofts by the way, and no-one has come into any grief so far as the track is drying quickly. Ferrari one and two, Mercedes three and four, with the Red Bull of Max Verstappen in fifth. All safely into Q2.

First go for the Mercedes and it is Lewis Hamilton third, Valtteri Bottas fourth behind Sebastian Vettel, who is quickest so far, and Kimi Raikkonen second.
That's all those four safely over the first hurdle.

Your dream Formula 1 season
Njr: Schedule some midweek races in evenings. There are now night races which opens up all times within week. Such races near cities e.g. Barcelona, Budapest, Singapore would be optimal, working people can go to races after work.
Sportsnut: Start by bringing back the old Hockenheim not this pale imitation. Portimao in Portugal is a great track as well.

Daniel Ricciardo has to start from the back no matter what happens in qualifying because of grid penalties, but the talk is he will still take part in Q1 but then not take part any further to avoid unnecessarily using up his tyre allocation.

Here we go. Eighteen minutes of Q1, remember, the slowest five fail to make it into Q2. Sergey Sirotkin, who desperately needs a good weekend after a tough start to his F1 career, is the first man out.

Simon Allchin: Would like to see F1 back at Long Beach - the McLarens made it to the front from the back in 1983 so there was great racing there. Roads are wide enough too. Forget Detroit though...

Despite being on the front row, Raikkonen would only finish third behind Hamilton in second and race winner Vettel.
