Wilson was also fastest in this morning's warm-up, ahead of Pagenaud, Power and Bourdais. Dan Clarke suffered a fuel pressure failure early on, so let's hope that doesn't affect his race.

Still waiting on Eurosprout to pick up the ChampCar feed - at the moment I'm watching American Football! Presumably the race doesn't start until 11 UK time, though.

Still awaiting Eurosprout to get their act together. I don't care about the Arenabowl, or whatever it is! I don't want to have to do this through Live Timing!

Thankfully I now have the race on my screen as we get underway!

Bourdais takes the lead into the first corner, Wilson second; bit of a traffic jam at the back.

Bourdais makes a mistake and has dropped way down the field.

Bourdais got the run on Wilson off the line; further back, Doornbos collided with somebody, which is why we got the caution, I think.

Caution: Legge has stuffed it into the wall.

The Live Timing reckons that some people are going to try a radical fuel strategy and hope for a caution later on. We shall see if they are right.
