    Oscar Piastri beats McLaren team-mate Lando Norris' time!

    Oh no. Another red flag!!

  2. Norris goes quickestpublished at 11:42 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    Right then, get ready to push, as we could potentially birth a new master of wet-weather driving!

    Green intermediates are bolted on. Lando Norris goes quickest ahead of Charles Leclerc.

    George Russell is struggling to manage the Mercedes but he crosses the line and pushes Leclerc down the order and into P2.

    I feel there's a legend to be born today heading into Q3, this is the scene of Nico Hulkenberg's 2010 pole in the Williams, it's the scene of Kevin Magnussen in the Haas taking pole two years ago. The way we've had the topsy turvy field, no one looks settled.

    "I think if it keeps raining like this, we should just stay out."

    More light rain is now falling as Q3 due to start...

  6. Go! Go! Go!published at 11:38 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    Sergio Perez gave his Red Bull team a dressing down for their planning during the Q2 session.

    Max Verstappen is talking to Sky Sports now and is furious that the red flag was shown 40 seconds after Lance Stroll's crash.

    What a way to start a Sunday! Q3 is green.

    It's going to be vital for Norris to get himself to the front of the field and ideally have Piastri there for McLarens sake as well.

  8. Who is in Q3?published at 11:36 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    Lance Stroll did make it through to the pole fight, but after his brush with the barriers, we'll only have nine cars taking parts.

    1. Lando Norris

    2. Fernando Alonso

    3. Oscar Piastri

    4. Liam Lawson

    5. Alex Albon

    6. Charles Leclerc

    7. Esteban Ocon

    8. George Russell

    9. Yuki Tsunoda

  10. 'Moment here could be title defining'published at 11:34 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    The moment here could be title defining, Lando Norris got himself to the top of the times at the right time, Max Verstappen missed a lap, I am not sure why if it was traffic or a mistake.

    That means is he out and he will start 17th for the grand prix.

  11. Postpublished at 11:33 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    Lance Stroll was OK after his spin into the barriers, but Williams, Ferrari and Aston Martin have now got their work cut out to get ready for today's race. Remember lights out are at 15:30 GMT.

  12. 'Plain bad luck for Verstappen'published at 11:31 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    No Red Bulls, no Sainz, no Hamilton, and Verstappen marches out the car furious. It's plain bad luck really for Verstappen to be where he was at the time.

  14. red flag

    Verstappen out in Q2published at 11:29 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    Max Verstappen was on halfway through his fast lap when the yellow came out but once that red flag was waved, there was nothing the Dutchman could do. With his grid penalty applied, he'll start down in P17 for today's race.

    The times are going to tumble so much now, the track has not got wetter whilst we've been under the red flag and most of the field hadn't put intermediate tyres on when the red flag came out, so they are about to find a new hid of grip.

  16. red flag

    Both Red Bulls out in Q2published at 11:26 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November

    The red flag is shown! Q2 will not resume and both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are knocked out!
