No practice was possible at the Eifel Grand Prix on Friday as poor weather forced both sessions to be cancelled. 

Rain and fog meant it was unsafe for the medical helicopter to fly safely at the Nurburgring. 

Teams will now head into Saturday's qualifying session without important practice data as the circuit makes its return to the Formula One calendar for the first time in seven years. 

No drivers were able to get out onto the track as the difficult conditions persisted. 

It meant Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, was denied a chance of an outing in the Alfa Romeo. 

British driver Callum Ilott, another product of Ferrari's driver academy, was also unable to get a run-out for Haas.

UPDATE: Alas, it's not good news...
