14:02
NewsOnF1: 
Q1 gets underway and many drivers go out straight away
14:03
NewsOnF1: 
Of course the major news is that Vettel will be leaving Red Bull at the end of the season and his destination is most likely to be Ferrari
14:04
NewsOnF1: 
Hamilton's car has been fixed since his crash earlier in practice today
14:05
NewsOnF1:

14:09

Vettel changed his helmet this morning and added red to the top of his helmet, a hint perhaps
14:14
NewsOnF1: 
In danger at this stage are Maldonado, Grosjean and Perez
14:15
NewsOnF1: 
A few drivers have switched to the mediums
14:16
NewsOnF1: 
Perez goes 10th and that is dropping Vettel and Ricciardo further down
14:16
NewsOnF1: 
Ricciardo is currently down in 14th
14:18
NewsOnF1: 
Gutierrez in 17th but improving
14:18

14:38
NewsOnF1: 
Drivers are heading back out, all drivers from Bottas go back out,
14:38
NewsOnF1: 
That is kind of surprising given that the two Williams and Alonso are half a second quicker than those behind
14:39
NewsOnF1: 
The weather forecast for tomorrow is for rain and so dry tryes are not expected to be used hence no need to take the risk today

14:53
