It looks like Maldonado's Lotus is the only car starting on the harder (and much slower) medium-compound tyre.
Quote
Ricciardo is told to expect the temperature to increase during the first stint and for the clouds to clear.
EDD STRAW: "We should be looking at a two-stop race. The orthodox strategy will be to go soft/soft/medium and all of the top 10 will have to start on the softs they set their best time in Q2 on. The conditions are a little cooler than the past two days, so it will be interesting to see how the tyres react - although the temperature seems to be rising."
Less than five minutes until the start of the formation lap, and the drivers are sat in their cars, with mechanics keeping everything cool until the call comes for the grid to clear.
After forming a circle around their crash helmets (and a replica of Bianchi's) the drivers make their way back to their cars - time to get kitted-up and get ready for the start of the GP.
It's an emotionally-charged weekend following the death of Jules Bianchi last week, and the drivers are making their way to the front of the grid for a minute's silence to pay their respects to the late Frenchman.
It's almost time for the final race before Formula 1's summer break, so let's hope the field sends us away with a GP to remember.
We're almost certainly set for an all-Mercedes battle for victory, but the scrap behind should be fascinating for the third step on the podium. Ferrari, Red Bull and Williams are all in amongst it, and there should be very little to choose between them.
