Light showers are still ongoing on the circuit, looks to be a minimum of 30 minutes.

No update on Qualifying weather (that comes out at 10:30am local time).
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Was Anthony Davidson correct when he said the super-softs may actually work in a cool climate with slight rain on the track, or a wet surface which is drying?

Is the BBC/sky covering this live, or is quali taking place without coverage??
