@pirellisport: "So, for the frontrunners, first stop from medium to hard keeps the options open. Medium-medium commits to a 2-stopper"
The air temperature is a bit cooler than it has been before now at 19C, with the track temperature 32C.

@pirellisport: "Teams will probably be aiming for a 1-stopper during the race. But they will need to keep the flexibility to do a 2-stopper if needed."

2 Rosberg
3 Massa
4 Bottas
5 Raikkonen
6 Vettel
7 Kvyat
8 Sainz
9 Hulkenberg
10 Ricciardo
11 Perez
12 Grosjean
13 Verstappen
14 Maldonado
15 Ericsson
16 Nasr
17 Alonso
18 Button
19 Stevens
20 Merhi
1 Hamilton
2 Rosberg
3 Massa
4 Bottas
5 Raikkonen
6 Vettel

14 Maldonado
15 Ericsson
16 Nasr
17 Alonso
18 Button
19 Stevens
20 Merhi
The national anthem plays out with the drivers gathered at the front of the grid. The capacity Silverstone crowd stands for it as well. Nice work everyone.

The engine's fired up in the garage so let's see if the Brazilian can make the start.
