So much spray is coming from the cars. Visibility will be hugely limited.

Twelve minutes, everyone on the full wets. A shootout for pole involving two Ferraris, one Renault, one Red Bull, two Mercedes, two Toro Rossos and two Haas.

Andrew Priestley: F1 Qualifying at its best. Absolute carnage.
Jeroen Demmendaal: Well, at least Alonso's radio is amusing. Speak to someone like that in a bar though and you might lose some teeth.
F1blag: What are Red Bull doing to Daniel Ricciardo? Strategy errors in Q1 and Q2. Car failure upon car failure.

BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporterThis isn't going to dry out any time soon, the thunder is still rumbling with flashes of lightning. Meanwhile, the front wing of Lance Stroll's Williams car is being walked into the garage...
The top 10 after Q2published at 14:45 British Summer Time 28 July 2018
- Vettel
- Sainz
- Verstappen
- Hamilton
- Gasly
- Bottas
- Hartley
- Raikkonen
- Magnussen
- Grosjean
One of these 10 will be on pole. Who will it be?

- 11th Fernando Alonso (McLaren)
- 12th Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull)
- 13th Nico Hulkenberg (Renault)
- 14th Marcus Ericsson (Sauber)
- 15th Lance Stroll (Williams)
Daniel Ricciardo went out late on on the full wets, and he nudges himself one place up the grid, but he will start 12th tomorrow. No rocket ship for Alonso and he misses Q3.

Carlos Sainz takes second in Q2, behind only Sebastian Vettel.
Sainz has not been in the points in the past three races but will be starting in the top 10 tomorrow.

Fernando Alonso is asked if he fancies a one-lap risk. "Even if we put on a rocket ship we will still be 11th," is the great response.
Best team radio of the weekend contender there from the Spaniard.

A mention for Toro Rosso. Both Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley look through to Q3. Great news for them. Similarly, as are both Haas cars of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen.

We still have four minutes to go. Marcus Ericsson, on the full wets, is not giving up, but what can he do in this?

Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveHamilton is 10 seconds slower behind Vettel in that lap. Ricciardo is the only one who can do something, but he needs to improve since he scraped through Q1. We can barely see him on our screens because there is so much spray.
Postpublished at 14:35 British Summer Time 28 July 2018
The track is so, so wet. Surely no-one can improve in these conditions. That means the five to go may well be the bottom five Alonso, Hulkenberg, Ricciardo, Ericsson and Stroll.

Lance Stroll goes off, bangs his front wing into the barrier. He gets back to the pits, for some frantic work needed for williams.
