SQ2 10:00 — Interesting conversations as the track is cleared of gravel ahead of the 0 minutes of SQ2.

Notably that Lewis Hamilton’s big and costly spin might have come from a mechanical issue. It was certainly strange.

Likewise with Nico Hülkenberg, who has also had his engineer come onto team radio to apologize for something.

Fortunately for Oliver Bearman, it sounded like he made a clear lift on his throttle under that late yellow flag — and still went quick enough to get into SQ2.

And that session has just started!
