Pons driver Kanamaru has suddenly slowed while running seventh, promoting Nicholas Latifi into the position.
FR3.5
After a quick spin, Stoneman has just posted the fastest lap of the race, but there are just five minutes left and the 2014 GP3 runner-up is down in 14th.
Rowland leads handsomely from Orudzhev and Vaxiviere.

FR3.5
Stoneman, and the DAMS team's, call doesn't appear to be working out at the moment. The Briton is five seconds a lap slower than the wet-shod leader Rowland.
FR3.5
Dillmann has retired as compatriot Panis comes in for slicks.
FR3.5
Stoneman comes in for slicks along with Celis, and Stockinger. This is not a mandatory pitstop race.
FR3.5
Dillmann makes his pitstop on lap 12, but has dropped to last.
Rowland leads Orudzhev by five seconds. Third-placed Vaxiviere is 12.6s in arrears of the leader, while there is a close scrap for fourth between de Vries, Jaafar and Ellinas on lap 12.
The circuit is continuing to dry out, with 15 minutes remaining will anyone stop for slicks before the chequered flag?

I am not sure if there was contact between Rowland and Dillmann, but the unfortunate Frenchman has picked up a left-rear puncture.
FR3.5
The top three were separated by just 1.5s on lap eight. Third man Orudzhev has now dropped back from the lead pair, and Rowland has grabbed the lead from Dillmann with a bold move into Turn 5.
RX
Johan Kristoffersson set the fastest time in the first RX heat at Franciacorta in Italy. Championship leader Petter Solberg was beaten away from the line by Frenchman Jerome Grosset-Janin in the final race of the heat but made a pass for the lead at the end of lap one and set the second overall time. Timer Timerzyanov was third, with European Championship leader Tommy Rustad fourth overall.
WRC podium finisher Manfred Stohl had a huge end-over-end roll at the end of free practice but was able to race in heat one, while Gigi Galli was ruled out of starting the first heat with the new Kia Rio by technical troubles.

FR3.5
Rowland closed to within 0.4s of leader Dillmann on lap 5, only to come under attack from Orudzhev into Turn 1.
The fight between a defensive Jaafar and Vaxiviere over fourth has been furious, but the Lotus F1 junior has finally made a pass stick.

Red Bull junior Dean Stoneman has made excellent progress to jump from 12th to ninth in one lap.
The biggest fight at the front of the field is between Jazeman Jaafar and Matthieu Vaxiviere who are disputing fourth place.

FR3.5
Egor Orudzhev has been reinstated to this third place grid position after briefly losing his best lap for a yellow flag infringement in qualifying.
FR3.5
Despite the patches of blue sky, rain persists in the paddock.
Talking of paddocks, it's pleasing to see the return of the Comtec transporter at a World Series by Renault meeting. The Norfolk team is not racing this weekend, but is set to test with Jehan Daruvala at Jerez next week.
Back to this afternoon's proceedings, there has just been notification that the FR3.5 start will be behind the safety car.

And Green's podium is his first since the Lausitzring round in May.

Scheider is the 13th different winner in the DTM this year. That more than half of the 24-car field, from the 17th races.

Ekstrom got up to ninth on the last lap. It will be little consolation, but he's now second in the standings, one point ahead of Mortara.
FR3.5
The pitlane is now open for the opening Formula Renault 3.5 race of the weekend.
Looking out from the media centre in the direction of the Jerez infield, the skies appear to be brightening. But over the pit straight, though, some threatening-looking clouds remain.
Wet tyres are fitted to poleman Tom Dillmann's Carlin machine. Can the Frenchman convert his first pole of the year to a maiden FR3.5 victory?

DTM
Plenty of happy faces to accompany Mercedes shirts. Wehrlein does some doughnuts and gets out of his car to celebrate.

3 Deletraz, 175
4 Anthoine Hubert, 164
