The 2020 Eifel Grand Prix begins!
The drivers take to the grid, ready for the start...
Green flag
The formation lap begins.
Information
Tyre info: all on softs apart from Vettel, Gasly, Kvyat and Grosjean.
There's the F1 theme tune. Remember at the start of 2018 when everyone hated it, and now it feels kinda empty without it?
Information
Just five minutes to go until we get an eyeful of action at the Eifel GP.
Both McLaren drivers are sporting helmets they painted themselves, in support of the charity Mind. Norris has gone for something very modernist, while Sainz has opted for something rather abstract.
It's nice to have the Nurburgring back on the calendar for the first time since 2013. If we get something akin to the 1999 race, we'll be very happy indeed.
Information
Temperature notes: air temperature is 8.6 °C, track temperature 15.5 °C. Risk of rain at 40%.
Raikkonen, soon to have the most F1 caps of all-time, starts alongside last-place-man Nico Hulkenberg - who was given the call-up to Racing Point at 11am yesterday as Lance Stroll is currently unwell.
A hive of activity around Sergio Perez's car on the grid, as he seems to have a small problem somewhere in the cockpit.
Information
Kimi Raikkonen, starting from the rear of the field, will begin his 323rd F1 start - and will officially break Rubens Barrichello's record.
Hamilton will start alongside Bottas, who has his 14th pole of his F1 career. Verstappen and Leclerc were both impressive in quali, and occupy row two.
Radio Comms
Some stuff already - Lewis Hamilton has radioed in to ask about his steering wheel, which seems to be somewhat loose.
Information
Good afternoon everyone! In 25 minutes, the Eifel Grand Prix will get underway at the Nurburgring! Hope you're all sitting comfortably - and if you've forgotten we start an hour earlier today, now's your warning!
