  4. Stop!

  5. Post update

    Valtteri Bottas goes 11th, faster than team-mate Lewis Hamilton and Nico Hulkenberg.

    There aren't going to be many times this season where the bottom two will be Hamilton and Hulkenberg. But that's what's happening today.

  6. Post update

    Bottas has a time on the board, a 1:20.719, which keeps him last, but five minutes remaining for a few more.

  7. Get Involved

    #bbcf1

    Stephen Knipe: Lando makes rookie mistake of trying to go fast in McLaren that wasn't designed for speed!

  8. Bottas is back

    With eight minutes to go, Valtteri Bottas, after an oil pressure problem that has ruined his day, is back out for a small amount of laps, heading out on the C2 (second hardest) tyres).

  9. Post update

    We're good to go again for a 10-minute blast to round off the day.

  10. Post update

    Why is it always good news, bad news for McLaren?

  11. Red flag

    Lando Norris has gone fastest but stops just coming out of the pits at Turn 2 with a potential mechanical issue.

  12. Get Involved #bbcf1

    Bob McFeil: If Lando Norris sets another timed lap today, I’ll eat my sock.

    Socks. Chewy.

  13. Norris leads

    McLaren fans, you've waited a long time for good news, and Lando Norris is at the top of the times.

    Yes, yes, he's on the softest tyre possible, but he is there at the top thanks to a lap of 1:17.709.

  14. Post update

    McLaren fans, sit down.

  15. Top-four movement

    The F1 timing screen appears to have had enough and given up for the day with the screen not updating for a while.

    In the meantime, Lance Stoll, on the C4 (second softest) tyres has moved second and Lando Norris on the softest C5 tyres has gone fourth.
