it is dry at Suzuka for now, but rain is expected...
Mercedes has just confirmed that both cars will run the latest upgrade package during the first practice session.
we are a go...
19 of the 20 drivers have already been out - just Verstappen (fresh from his second Grand Prix victory) yet to leave the pits
A few more drops of rain...
Hamilton fastest sectors...

Vet's car carries out its stability behaviour from singapore.
Very small correction in the corner but there's noticeable tail slide at low gears. Hope they'll sort it out in the end of FP1.
Incredible pace in these early stages. Last year's pole position time? 1:30.647. 2017's benchmark so far? 1:29.541...

Wow good from Vet
Bottas is told that rain is expected in 10 to 15 minutes with 45 minutes still to go.
0.045 seconds behind on a slower tyre. So far so good. Fingers crossed this is legitimate pace!
Ham, Vettel, Ricci, and Kimi all in the 1:29's
red flag
Sainz Jr. has hit the barriers - big damage

Thank God, he's okay. That's a big shunt.
I love their brooms. Reminds me of something from 1840s lol

VET jumps to P1 with a 1:29.166
"Ignore any brake alarms for now, Kimi," is the message to Raikkonen
"We need some lift off for the brakes, we're hot on rears," he is now told
Early days but promising.
"Raining quite heavily at Turns 12, 13 and 14," Massa is informed
This crofty guy just can't admit that there's problem with merc's pace.
session is over
Vettel looked very good, i assume he is running lighter than Ham & kimi, since kimi is 0.4s off his pace
hockenheim 2018 / China 2018 : Never forget how quick Ferrari can lose it all, be humble.
Positivity doesn't win you championships, whining about people being negative makes you blind!
lol ignore the bitter old cows ;-)

We have a very solid car. Let's now hope for dry FP2 and we could run race sim smoothly.
