Stopwatch
Lewis, what did we JUST say? A 1m18.257s for the recently knighted champion.
Stopwatch
...until Sainz does a 1m18.764s to go top. Guys, let's space it out a little bit, yeah?
Stopwatch
Then Perez, Bottas and Verstappen go faster than Raikkonen did. A 1m19.205s for Perez...
Stopwatch
That's a certain Mr. K. Raikkonen, vaulting to the top of the timesheets with a 1m20.175s. Good stuff from the Alfa Romeo veteran.
We've been at this for about five minutes and Mazepin has spun. No further comment, your honour.
Stopwatch
But then Ocon comes along and goes even quicker, logging a 1m23.639s. But Hamilton goes quicker, does a 1m21.421s, until Bottas then does a 1m20.345s. All change as I type this.
Perez now gets into P2, having had a spin earlier on, to go four tenths down on Ocon's benchmark so far...
Stopwatch
Ocon gets to the top of the timing sheets, logging the first serious lap of a 1m26.246s.
Green flag
FP1 is officially underway!
Is the "Made in Italy" part of "Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio Del Made In Italy E Dell'emilia Romagna" some kind of Made In Chelsea knock-off? I suppose that's what Drive to Survive amounts to sometimes...
Sun
We've got a risk of rain of 0% at the moment, as air temperature around the Imola circuit is 11.2 degrees C.
We've got just over 10 minutes to go until FP1 gets underway at Imola. Last year here, we had just a single practice session and it was a really easy weekend. Ah, memories...
Breaking news
The returning Fernando Alonso says that there's more performance to come from himself, rather than from the Alpine F1 car: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/alonso-more-to-come-from-me-than-alpine-f1-car/6289502/
So let's recap what happened in Bahrain, if it was too long ago to remember. Hamilton won from Verstappen, but the two were finely poised in a race-long lead battle. It was a fun one.
Or, officially, this is the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio Del Made In Italy E Dell'emilia Romagna. But I don't have enough saliva in my mouth to utter that at this time of day.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen - it's been a while, hasn't it? After a nice three-week break, we're back in action for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
