It's looking altogether a little damp out there.
I think asking Suzie Wolff a critical question about Mercedes is never going to get an honest response, it's her husband after all who is team principal.
That's the only negative having her on the C4 team.
Looks like Ericsson's FP3 crash has bought him a trip to hospital for further checks and obs. Indications are he is fine.
Sauber one car down for race.
Vettel has a 5 place grid penalty following a gearbox failure in FP3.

Just for qualifying for now. He might be OK for the race
Interesting point made by the commentary crew, on Friday at Silverstone, the attendance is greater than the combined race day attendance of 80% of all other races.
Their bias for Hamilton shows again...
"He'll get a massive boost from ALL of the crowd......"
How many lap times are going to be deleted, do you think?

I think it's less bias and just the way TV people speak these days.
How many times have you heard politicians says "The British public are ..."
Or a cook saying "everyone loves a BBQ"

Lots by the look of it.
They have already said that they are adopting a zero tolerance this weekend regarding track limits.
Will be more interesting in the top 10 shoot out when they push it.
Shaping up to be a good Red Bull/Ferrari battle.
Button 
Bum!
Second chance Button.
They're all of a fluster over Button still apparently running. It's about 99.9% likely to be Magnussen's lap being deleted. 
I clearly saw him with all 4 wheels over the line in his last lap. However it's still not clear if Button IS going to run!

In, out, in, out, what's it all about
Heavens! What a Faux Pas by McLaren!!!!!
Raikkonen error, not doing his future prospects much good!

Out of track limits Kimi surely.

I'm not sure why they have resigned him TBH.
Williams need to let Massa go now, get a younger driver in.
Oooops.
Oops Hami

Yeah, but they appear not to be counting that corner!

Yes, unfortunately.
Brilliant
but he was wide at that previous corner too. IMO

That's what I thought

I did not see it as the camera cut away, but I'm sure they said he was OK.
Bugga!
Well done Lewis, real quality showing through ...again.
Especially when pressure was on.
Top Q3.
It was the corner where his lap was discounted that they cut away from, but were saying he was OK. However he was over the line in the previous corner in that final lap, as far as I could see.

They are not counting all parts of the track, just some.

It could still be discounted.
Brave officials if they do though!

Nothing for the officials to be brave about - the lap was good.
Anyone watching?
