A lot of credit must got to Dr Ian Roberts, the man you saw running into the flames to help Grosjean out of car, Alan van der Merwe who was driving medical car & immediately stopped and grabbed fire extinguisher and all the other marshals and volunteers who were there to help

Vettel was next car on track on the start finish straight and was told immediately it was a red flag, so he had plenty of time to slow down, but if that was race conditions and cars were following closely behind, could have been so much worse

Hamilton 7th quickest this morning but did the most laps (74). Mercedes often run a high-mileage programme at start of testing so don't read anything into position on timesheets yet. Heavier cars (more fuel) are slower cars

Well said, Martin.
If celebs are going to be allowed on the grid, they and their people need to be properly briefed about the etiquette. If you're there, then expect Brundle to pay a visit for a quick chat. There is no place for rudeness. Ever.
I have felt under pressure on the grid before but by people called Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Mansell, Piquet and so on. Bodyguards visiting the grid for the first time don’t bother me, everyone’s got a job to do, but they could maybe learn some manners and respect on our patch 🤔
