5 laps behind the Safety Car and on full wetsRace restarts and many go seraight into the pits for different tyres.
VSC deployed - Wehrlein in the Gravel. Hamilton pits for Inters - so do lots of others.
Lap 8 and we're racing again
Bottas spins, loses a few places, but is still running.
Nasr passes Bottas!
Several people have spun, most are still running, though a few places down, but Harianto was not so lucky - he's out!
Hamilton (P1) has run off track - hasn't lost any places - Verstappen (P2) runs off at same corner so gains no advantage from Hamilton's error.
It's clouding over - more rain on the way?
Rosberg to be investigated, after the race, for illegal radio communication.
Brilliant, professional drive from Lewis under difficult changeable conditions.
Closes gap to Nico and sets us up for a cracking second half of the season.
Good solid race for Max.

Thanks Barney.
He hit a white kerb and destabilised the car, going off sideways. Looked like the car was fine as he hit the tyre wall side on and then drove back to the pits.
Watching/Listening to Practice3 and their saying new instructions about radio communication between teams and drivers. They'll be talking to Charlie Whiting about it at the start of the programme at 11:55.
What I caught suggested that the drivers would have to be called into the pits if the teams wanted to give them specific instructions about setting changes, etc.
I had to laugh today as there seemed to be a few quite amusing interviews and comments by drivers the commentators.
At the announcement of Sauber being sold off Karun Chandhok described Sauber as being at the forefront of F1. Now Karun's and my definition of 'forefront' must be different, very different.
"The leading or most important position or place".

It's a LOT wet at the moment. I have shed loads to do and want qualifying to start.
Seems like there's a thunderstorm at the moment.
Rain lightening, but Q1 might still be 15 minutes away.
we call that amount of rain 'drizzle' in Cumbria
New start at 1.20BST
Session red flagged,it's bucketing again.
They've all managed 1 flying lap so far. It's all a bit mixed up order_wise at the moment.
Restarts at 1.40
Ericson crashes, session Red Flagged again.
It's going to be bedtime before they finish qualifying at this rate!
Yep, 9 minutes still to go in Q1.
Restart at 1.45
Will there be any cars left for the race proper?
Massa crashes,another Red Flag- 5 minutes to go
Next restart at 14.07
Lot's of damage, lot's of additional costs for the teams this race!
Haryana crashes at the same point as Ericson and we have another Red Flag-, but this time there'll be no restart as there's not enough time left.
Bottas rolling the dice with that tyre choice.
What an exciting Q2.
Good job McLaren.
The prancing donkey lose out in Q2, pretty good result for Red Bull that, put more pressure on constructors.
Lewis just not looking happy this weekend, not expecting much from his today or tomorrow.
By comparison to Q1,blink and you'll miss it for Q2
That last corner is a real minefield for the drivers.
Massive 'tank slapper' for Vettel !!!!!!
Great viewing.
Lewis had to slow down for the flag !!
If only Alonso had not spun.
Stats say pole does not always win. I'm hoping Lewis can get his racing head on.
