Session underway. No cars out yet.

Yesterday Ferrari dominated in the first session and McLaren in the second. As the temperatures are relatively low and the track is still dirty, expect Ferrari to once again look strong along with the rest of the Bridgestone runners. However that could change in the second session and especially during qualifying where the temperature is expected to reach 33 degrees. Session starting in 3 minutes.

Session starting at 9:00 AM local time. Weather is cloudy with the current temperature at 27 degrees.
