Vandoorne killed a bird just a few minutes ago...

In Canada earlier this year, Grosjean killed a groundhog.

Struggling with understeer at high speed, but then you get lots of oversteer and traction issues on the exit because you're returning the wheel so much you're expecting too much of the rear tyres, and that's a common racing trend.

So he's got understeer on the way in and oversteer on the way out.

MV: "Car doesn't turn. General everywhere, at high speed."

E: "Watch out for the photographers Checo"

The team bosses spent the half-hour before final practice in a meeting with Formula 1 chiefs Chase Carey and Ross Brawn.

They’d probably have preferred to do it out of sight but the offices in the paddock here have restricted space and glass frontages, so they were in full view of the paddock as they chatted in the F1 area.

The idea, apparently, is just to have a chat, enable everyone to stay close and discuss any areas of specific concern, and keep everyone together.

Word on the street is that unity is starting to fracture a little as F1 makes little apparent progress on plans for budget caps, income redistribution and rules for 2021.

Great lap from Sebastian Vettel, he's on the supersofts and is back on top with a 1:07.948.

I fear he might have splatted the bird…

SV: "Not sure if I hit a bird at turn 11."

E: "I think we missed."

Robert Armstrong: The greatest driver should be split into two categories pre-1980 and post 1980 and then debate the merits of both winners as I think the pre-1980 drivers are sometimes forgotten too easily.

Great suggestion, I agree.

G.Culshaw: It has to be Senna because of his fight with the politics of F1. He didn't even have the best car!

John McEnerney: Senna was the best not by a country mile mind you Schumi is close, how Senna handled the pressure of having his biggest rival Prost as a teammate. Schumi would’ve never stopped to help a fellow driver who crashed. Never saw JF or JC but my dad said they were special too

Hamilton is back, slotting in second two tenths behind Vettel and ahead of Bottas.

Ferrari came pretty close to owning up to a mistake on Friday here in Brazil, when engineering leader Jock Clear admitted what was already known - their performance slump over Singapore, Russia and Japan was down to some upgrades that did not work. “Over the course of this season, we haven't quite got it spot on at every race,” Clear said. "The positive is we understand why. Those couple of races where we did have a slump, we came back in Austin, and we were brave enough to go back on some of the development.

That's the kind of culture that we want to have now. That people are brave enough to say, 'OK, I think we've made a mistake.’ "We go back, we relearn what we thought we understood, and we come back in Austin and we win the race, and we were competitive again in Mexico. So that's the positive to it.”

Vettel is quickest with a 1:08.857, followed by Bottas and Raikkonen.

On the radio, they said go straight out and don't do a practice start, so we are currently speaking to the team to find out what's going on.

It doesn't look hugely encouraging for Hamilton, there's a little bit of smoke there.

If you're Mercedes Ferrari Red Bull then Q1 you can kind of treat them like a practice session because you know you've got the pace to get to Q2 and Q3.

There's some smoke coming out of Hamilton's car. He has returned to the garage...

I've not really heard that one before that it's heavier one way or another.

Just actually having the pure weight heavy on one side is a strange sensation for the driver, and after his crash yesterday he hasn't had that much time on the track.

"There's a big difference between left and right, it's much heavier to the right."

Hamilton is out on track, but is having some problems and now returning back to the pitlane.

It’s much warmer today than on Friday.

What had been forecast to be a cloudy day was sunny from about 09:00; and it’s meant to be warmer again on Sunday - as much as 29C, they say. That creates the potential for all sorts of problems - mostly, with tyres.

The Ferraris were blistering theirs quite heavily in the cooler, cloudier conditions of Friday, so what could happen now? Sebastian Vettel’s race run was much quicker than Lewis Hamilton’s - but was that the race pace of the cars, or that Vettel was using his tyres harder than Hamilton was his?

The destiny of the constructors’ championship, or at least Mercedes’ chances of wrapping it up in Brazil, could depend on this. A one-two for Ferrari here, and it goes down to the wire in Abu Dhabi.
