Welcome to England. Round 9 of the Formula 1 Championship started with a wet P1 and is more than likely to go on like this for P2.
Romain Grosjean from Lotus F1 Team and his Black Knight car made the fastest lap when the rain had a little less intensity, while Force India drivers remain in the garage for almost all of the session as it did the F1 championship leader Fernando Alonso for Ferrari.
The local hero Lewis Hamilton managed the third best time while putting only 6 laps in his McLaren while Kamui Kobayashi was the most prolific driver out there with no less than 19 laps.
