Twitter?

Mercedes and McLaren Honda having the banter

Setanta have been pretty much on the ball. They've been taking 5 live's/BBC's lead and broadcasting until they don't. If there's a world feed I'm hoping Setanta will cover qualy.

So what highlights will the Beeb show tonight?!

I'm enjoying the banter on Twitter and snapchat

Hmm 14:00 Setanta are going to be in the middle of a live French league game, the items scheduled for between 15:00 and 16:55 appear to be filler so there is a window of opportunity there but it does look like no live coverage outside of Sky.

Teds notebook is really interesting, I've always wanted to know about microphones

suspect setanta will be showing it because they are showing the practice session from yesterday on the TV right now (which is a change to what is listed on the EPG / their website).

EDIT: onscreen notification indicates that Setanta will indeed be showing the qualifying session live.

Charlie-Bravo

Magic! What's the weather like?

Ghost Train

Nice and wet, full wets

Mike Litoris

Yep, tis on Setanta. Still pissing down. This will be interesting

Mike Litoris

Red flag already, Sainz off. Wonder if him and Rosberg came together. They were getting a bit close on the out lap.

Mike Litoris

This is the best action of the season!

Jordan 199

Turn 10 is catching them out.

afatbollix

My god that AMG sounds great.

Mike Litoris

Yeah, it looks like everyone had a moment there. Vettel was lucky with his.




The safety car sounds nice.

Mike Litoris

Q3 delayed for another 10 minutes.

flazio

No Q3

HighLine

Q3 cancelled. Results from Q2 will be starting order.

Mike Litoris

That's it. Nico on pole, Ham then Ric!

Ghost Train

Pity... hopefully good race ahead later

antodeco

Still a 7pm race?

Yep, so far. They're expecting the weather to clear up soon.

Uno my Uno.

Fingers crossed the race goes ahead but I don't have high hopes, the race is live on NBC here, would be a bit of a disaster if t doesn't happen. F1 in America just can't catch a break!

Yep rain has stopped. They're going to the grid on inters but looks like it could dry up if that sun keeps shining. Fingers crossed it makes for an interesting race.

Ghost Train

Hope it's a mixed up race since they've had no practice time on dry tires and track conditions could vary a lot during race

Think they'll be doing a good few laps through the pits before going to the grid

Jordan 199

Hoping Lewis will win his third title today

Frank Bullitt

This better be good! A race on at a reasonable time for me!

Autosport

Gonna be one hell of a race may the best man win ((Hamilton)

Ghost Train

Whos going to be first to jump to dries.... go on Button

Mercs to crash out and a Vettel win please.

Frank Bullitt

Rosberg should be driving a bus!

Mike Litoris

Button up to 8th!!!!!


Come on everyone else except the Mercs!!

bnt

What the hell, Nico? So Lewis had a better start, but you could have held 2nd instead of falling to 4th ...

Ghost Train

Bottas on dry tires maybe

Yep, really suffering

Bit dirty from Hamilton there at the start. Tsk tsk.

Jaysus, he's gone back to inters.

antodeco

Hmm, the moment Lewis is being challenged they decide to bring out the VSC! Very strange

Ghost Train

VSC a bit confusing, maybe they should get a few seconds warning of it (if they already don't)

Hamilton must have watched the motogp earlier

antodeco

It seemed very rushed after waiting for ages to bring it out. I just don't like that they waited until Hamilton was struggling before they brought it out. Plays into his hands completely

Ghost Train

They'll be watching Grosjeans times to see how he does
