Friday July 8, 2011 1:58 
1:58
The track was dry but it is raining again!
Friday July 8, 2011 1:58 
2:00
Session underway
Friday July 8, 2011 2:00 
2:02
No one has gone out!
Friday July 8, 2011 2:02 
2:03
Looks like we won't be able see the impact of the regulation changes until at least tomorrow!
Friday July 8, 2011 2:03 
2:03
Timo Glock emerges from the pits
Friday July 8, 2011 2:03 
2:06
Alguersuari on the track as well
Friday July 8, 2011 2:06 
2:06
Glock pits without setting a time
Friday July 8, 2011 2:06 
2:09
Alguersuari starts a timed lap
Friday July 8, 2011 2:09 
2:09
Buemi on the track
Friday July 8, 2011 2:09 
2:10
Alguersuari struggling on his timed lap. It is too wet
Friday July 8, 2011 2:10 
2:10
Indeed both Alguersuari and Buemi pit
Friday July 8, 2011 2:10 
2:11
Rain expected for the next 20 minutes!
Friday July 8, 2011 2:11 
2:14
Kobayashi is on the track now
Friday July 8, 2011 2:14 
2:16
Kobayashi crashed in the morning session. Good job by the mechanics to get the car ready.
Kobayashi went wide going onto the main straight and didn't lift, the car went over a bump and he lost control. His car nearly flipped and then slammed into the tyre barriers
Friday July 8, 2011 2:16 
2:17
Kobayashi pits, conditions are sill to wet although the rain has eased
Friday July 8, 2011 2:17 
2:20
No one on the track at the moment
Friday July 8, 2011 2:20 
2:24
The HRT team replaced Narain Karthikeyan with Red Bull's test driver Daniel Ricciardo. This weather will not help him prepare for his first Formula 1 race!
Friday July 8, 2011 2:24 
2:27
Conditions continue to be pretty bad, such conditions in a race would be under a safety car
Friday July 8, 2011 2:27 
2:28
Also the teams will be reluctant to use more than a set of intermediates as they would not want to risk running out of tyres in the race (if qualifying and the race turn out to be wet too)
Friday July 8, 2011 2:28 
2:32
30 minutes have past and no time has been set yet. Only 4 drivers went out and only Alguersuari even attempted a timed lap
Friday July 8, 2011 2:32 
2:33
It is raining even heavier now!
Friday July 8, 2011 2:33 
2:37
Current forecast is for light showers during qualifying and overcast during the race
Friday July 8, 2011 2:37 
2:42
No activity on the track at this stage
Friday July 8, 2011 2:42 
2:44
The rain has stopped but it is expected again in 20 minutes. Too much water on the track
Friday July 8, 2011 2:44 
2:48
Alguersuari is back out on the track
Friday July 8, 2011 2:48 
2:48
Sutil goes out as well
Friday July 8, 2011 2:48 
2:49
