  • It was all going so well for Lewis Hamilton of late, but this will certainly hamper him going into qualifying, which starts at 06:00 BST.

    The Briton, who was just starting his first flying lap on the medium tyres, ran wide at Turn One. That destabilised the car and sucked him towards the gravel and then the barriers, making head-on contact.

    Amy Brown: I love it when Lewis wants to go racing. C'mon, let's race.

    David Highkinen: It's in Rosberg's best interests to get going too. At racing speed, better chance of Lewis falling off.

    Sarah: All I can hear from Lewis Hamilton is Moan Moan Complain Moan Moan.

"Fernando Alonso has just come into a the paddock on the back of a scooter. He'll be glad he's leaving Ferrari. Potentially his car failed after water got into the electrical system."

Lucas: Alonso has travelled a greater distance on the motorbike than in his car.

Adam Craig: Wow, very short race for Alonso today. I was hoping to see more from Ferrari

Nick Holland: Loving your comms BBC 5 live Tom Clarkson, Allan McNish on the Red Button Multiscreen - Best way to watch :-)

Got a big screen television? Why not switch to Red Button to watch the race via multiscreen and pretend that you are down on the F1 pitwall. Also available online by clicking the Live Coverage tab at the top of the page, but minus the pretending to be on the pitwall part.

  • Lap 28

    Lewis Hamilton is all over the back of Nico Rosberg! He's snaking one way and then the next. Hamilton is having the time of his life out there. The pass is coming.
  • Lewis Hamilton leads the Japanese GP

    • _78018567_japanesegp.jpg

      Unbelievable pass. Simply sensational. Lewis Hamilton gets into the slipstream of Nico Rosberg down the start finish straight. Rosberg is to go defensive, Hamilton stays to the left of the track and then hangs on around the outside into Turn One to complete the move. That's one for the scrapbook.

"That is bravery off the scale, on a corner where he crashed in third practice. I almost stopped breathing there."

Ben Edwards
BBC F1 commentator

"That was one of the passes of the season."

David Coulthard
BBC F1 co-commentator

"That is a pass the drivers will always admire. Fantastic display."

Mercedes: He makes it! Round the outside at turn one! Incredible move. @LewisHamilton into the lead.

Adrian Sutil, who crashed his car and was by the side of the track when Jules Bianchi's incident happened at the same corner, says: "It was the same thing that happened to me.

"The rain was increasing and daylight was going down. I was following Jules. I had a spin and ended up in the wall. I stood up and they tried to rescue the car.

"He was in the same area and lost the car. I have no more information. We are all aware of the situation. Hopefully he is in good hands."

We've not had any more news on Jules Bianchi 's condition. Sauber's Adrian Sutil, who had crashed just before at the same spot, said the Marussia driver had hit one of the recovery vehicles attending to his car.
 
"The most important thing is our thoughts are with Jules," says McLaren's Jenson Button. "You hope it is an incident that never happens in Formula 1, let's just leave it at that."

_78018080_70695cd9-dd52-4593-b794-7d3698fef1b2.jpg

Jules Bianchi is a member of Ferrari's young driver programme and in his second season in Formula 1.

The Frenchman, 25, scored a memorable ninth place in Monaco this year, giving the back-of-the grid Marussia team their first points since their debut in 2010.
 

Gaz up one place, me down one place and every one else looks to be consistent.
