Sounds like they've got technical issues with the sound.

Italy are holding GBR up massively. Not moving over at all. Ends up 0.8 seconds down...

The Nice Germans (the other white race) go fastest - 1:32.971

At least they've got the on screen graphics sorted, you can tell what's going on today.

None of the Terrestial channels wanted to pay £1 million for it.

Australia are going very slowly and have pulled off the racing line and stopped at the side of the track.

Austria had gerabox issues requiring the box to be replaced - as of yet not finished.

Hoping to come out in this session

It's been a while since I've seen that happen. I can remember a time when it was quite a common occurrence in F1, one minute the car would be quite happy, the next it would disappear in a cloud of dry powder

Austria out on track after gearbox swap.
