Hamilton was consistently impressive, setting two laps within tiny fractions of each other, but each containing small mistakes, suggesting he could have been even further ahead had he put together a perfect lap.

He and Mercedes appear to have stretched an advantage over Ferrari, after their pace looked to have been closely matched.

Red Bull were a further 0.2secs or so behind Ferrari, with Verstappen continuing to struggle after a difficult Friday, complaining his car was "unbelievable, so difficult to drive".

In the battle over sixth place in the constructors' championship, in which Toro Rosso lead Renault by four points and Haas by six, Renault look in good shape to potentially grab the place.

Their driver Carlos Sainz was ninth quickest and his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg 12th, while Haas drivers Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean were 14th and 15th and Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley 18th and 20th.
