With word in the Silverstone paddock having begun to emerge on Thursday afternoon that Senna may not be racing this weekend, the news was half-confirmed by the team to the BBC on the night.

However, it was not until the second free practice session on Friday afternoon that an official team press release confirmed that the Japanese driver will only be racing this weekend.

Hearsay states that a failed payment from a sponsor may be the reason for Senna's brief absence.
