Formula E - Beijing: After lap one, Prost leads from di Grassi, Abt, Heidfeld, Chandhok and Alguersuari.
Formula E - Beijing: Trulli looks like he's out already, being pushed off the grid, and Senna has come to a halt on lap one too.
Tung is still in the pits struggling to get going.

Lights out
Formula E - Beijing: Prost holds the lead at the start of Formula E's first race, ahead of the two Abt cars.
Further back, the two Andretti cars bang wheels and Pic has a brush with the wheel, but they both continue.

MotoGP - Misano: The top three are all in the pits now. Pedrosa currently sits in fourth, ahead of Iannone, Rossi, surprise FP1 pacesetter Hernandez and Smith.
MotoGP - Misano: Marquez improves again to a 1m35.524s, but Lorenzo deposes his compatriot at the top of the timesheets with a 1m35.333s. Bradl also beats Marquez's time to slot back into second.
Green flag
Formula E - Beijing: After a... steady... formation lap, the 19 cars on the grid are coming around to take the start. Tung has to start from the pits for his home race.
MotoGP - Misano: Stefan Bradl has just gone second quickest, half a tenth shy of Marquez, with Jorge Lorenzo a further tenth back in third.
Stopwatch
MotoGP - Misano: Now it's runaway championship leader Marc Marquez's turn to ascend to the top of the timesheets, the Spaniard setting a 1m35.712s.
Marquez has the chance to equal another record this weekend at Misano should he take his 12th win of the season, as he would equal Mick Doohan's tally of wins from the 1997 season.

Formula E - Beijing: The grid has been cleared and the formation lap is about to begin.
Emerson Fittipaldi is among the big names who have been down there during the build-up.
The grandstand tickets sold out as of Monday - mind you, there were only 8000 of them.
The crowd will be bigger than that, though. Entrance to the olympic park is free so there will be others craning their necks for a view over the barriers.

Stopwatch
MotoGP - Misano: Rossi knocks nine tenths off his opening time on his second tour, but he's knocked off the top spot by Bradley Smith's Tech 3 Yamaha, who raises the bar to a 1m36.979s.
Stopwatch
MotoGP - Misano: The riders complete their opening laps, and it's Valentino Rossi who sets the early benchmark with a 1m37.946s - a whole 12 seconds quicker than Andrea Dovizioso's best effort in the wet yesterday.
Green flag
MotoGP - Misano: Now Fenati's stricken bike is cleared, it's time to get FP3 under way here at a sunny Misano.
It will be the riders' first real dry running of the weekend after yesterday's soggy conditions, and predictably there are plenty of riders hitting the track to begin racking up the laps.

Breaking news
Formula E - Beijing: Ho-Pin Tung and Michela Cerruti have also been given grid place penalties for gearbox changes.
They therefore end up behind Bruno Senna on the grid but ahead of Sebastien Buemi, Stephane Sarrazin and Jarno Trulli, who have also needed new gearboxes after incidents in practice and qualifying.

Red flag
MotoGP - Misano: MotoGP's first dry practice session of the weekend is just over a quarter of an hour away.
Moto3 practice three is on now but it's just been red-flagged after a massive crash for Valentino Rossi's protege for Romano Fenati.
The young Italian is fine, but his bike is utterly destroyed after he put his back wheel on the damp grass at the final corner.
With a fair amount of dirt and debris on the track, the session has been stopped to get things cleared up.
Quite an eventful few weeks for Rossi's VR46 team, with Fenati sliding out of title contention and then a dramatic split with team chief Vito Guareschi.
