Radio 5 live Formula 1 commentatorWith Max Verstappen's slippery ride just now (he went off the track but came back on to it), are all the other teams going to switch to wet tyres?

Sebastian Vettel at least has a time on the board. 1:28.636 for him, everyone else has had to change their tyres.

Hamilton's team radio: "We think there may be rain in the last sector, we will keep you updated."

Max Verstappen has slid off at turn 12. That Ferrari decision to put Vettel on the intermediates, may have actually been a moment of genius.

Fifteen minutes. Ten advance, five disappear. Once again, everyone gets out straight away. Sebastian Vettel is the only man to have gone out on intermediates. Ultrasofts for everyone else.
Will that prove costly for the German?

Kimi on for Q3 again?published at 14:25 British Summer Time 28 July 2018
Image source, .The last time Kimi Raikkonen did not get into Q3 came in this race two years ago, when he qualified 14th on the Saturday, but finished sixth on the Sunday.
Remember, the top 10 from Q2 move into the third section of qualifying.

Daniel Ricciardo would have expected to be much higher up this table, but he stays in and that is all that matters.

Daniel Ricciardo survives a scare. He finishes 12th. At the front was Sebastian Vettel then Max Verstappen, Valtteri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen.
Carlos Sainz, Romain Grosjean, Nico Hulkenberg, Fernando Alonso and Kevin Magnussen make it into the top 10.

- 17th - Charles Leclerc (Sauber)
- 18th - Esteban Ocon (Force India)
- 19th - Sergio Perez (Force India)

Radio 5 live Formula 1 commentatorIt's going to be really tight for Daniel Ricciardo in 13th. He's still improving on this lap so there still could be chance.

Ricciardo up to 13th, but others still out there.

Ricciardo, Perez, Ocon, Stroll and Sirotkin need to improve or they are out.
