Practice 2
Standard Friday work: tyre comparisons, a short burst of qualifying runs at half-time, then long runs. Drizzle threatens but never really arrives.

Qualifying
Storms bring a long delay and two red flags, and the track keeps changing. The final shootout is a rushed dash on intermediates with almost no room for error.

Race
A wet-dry-wet afternoon with a frantic opening, plenty of overtaking through the field and tyre gambles as the rain returns. Few quiet moments.
