We have light showers again Q2 will more than likely be intermediates!

No worries, only the rear wing was damaged.
They just showed the re run of the incident on sky. The car seemed ok but I'm not convinced the wishbone/suspension/driveshaft won't cause any further problem during the race - if they haven't changed them.

Anyone with a streaming site. Nbcsports isn't showing it. Soccer instead.

He could have asked for inters when he pitted - was the driver's call as well.

If not Rosberg is running a bit more of a wet setup, his pace is suprising. Quickest of all by quite a margin.

Could just be that his setup generates a little more heat in the tyres, works them a little more. Lewis could have more of a race biased setup where they don't want to work the tyre too hard.

Don't forget they've sent Rosberg out first as well so Lewis wasn't able to get temperature into his tyres as quickly as Rosberg in the first lap. It's a small effect, but it could have led to Lewis damaging the tyres slightly more whilst they were cold.

It is going top be a gamble. The fastest times will be at the end. So you must have a free lap and good tyres then.
