Bourdais isn't lapping so slowly! In fact he set the fastest sector time!

Bourdais goes 6th! Amazing. Those who didn't go back out will regret it.

Second session about to start. It isn't raining and it doesn't appear that the rain that has fallen has affected track conditions by much!

It is reported that Rosberg had a problem with his car and hence the reason behind him not going out at the end of the session.
