Teams and drivers arrive at a grey Hockenheim for qualifying
This morning, teams and drivers have been arriving at a grey and miserable Hockenheimring. The scenery is still pretty good, but the sky looks like rain. Those involved have taken to Twitter expressing their own thoughts and feelings going into today’s sessions.
Morning everyone... from a grey, cloudy and yes, slightly wet, Hockenheim! #RSspirit #GermanGP pic.twitter.com/K3JUVBz2HT

First up, Renault. Not exaclty the sweet home blue skies that Nico Hulkenberg wanted, but at least the team won't have to worry about serious tyre blistering later on today.

McLaren are sending us around the garage this morning. Yesterday the car spent lots of time in there as they experimented with upgrades and parts to bring to Hungary next weekend.

Straight from a contract signing, Bottas confirms he is ready for action this afternoon. Will he be adding to his five pole postions to celebrate staying at Mercedes for at least another year?
