It looks like Oliver Bearman lost it at the start of the previous lap on the pit straight, when speeds are at their highest. The debris is sitting on the grass off-track so shouldn't require a red flag.
Charles Leclerc returns to the P1 spot, he's set a time of 1:30.861 and heads back to the garage.
Mercedes' Andrea Kimi Antonelli is second and Alex Albon in the Williams is third.
A quick yellow flag has been waved as the debris is collected.

Oliver Bearman has to slow due to a bodywork failure on the Haas - he's got a big piece of the engine cover missing.
Max Verstappen is back in the Red Bull garage, the aero rakes are off. He is also on a full day of testing.
Oh dear, there's a part of Oliver Bearman's Haas wanting to fly off. The 19-year-old has been told by his engineers to return to the garage.
Williams' Alex Albon has been on a flying lap and jumps up to third on the leaderboard.
Albon will be in the Williams seat for the full day of testing.
Lando Norris has joined the race track this morning. The McLaren man has completed two laps and is yet to set a lap time.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is back in the garage.
A quick fix for Fernando Alonso and he is back out on the track.
He manages Sauber rookie Gabriel Bortoleto, who won the F2 championship in 2024.
It will be interesting to see them on the grid together.
Mercedes rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli was just four tenths behind Leclerc, but he has pipped him for the top spot, his time is now 1:31.189.
Jack Doohan is third, Gabriel Bortoleto fourth and Oliver Bearman fifth.
A good start to the day for the rookies.
Charles Leclerc has set the fastest lap time of the morning, the Ferrari man has also completed six laps, so far.
Fernando Alonso has stopped near the pitlane exit. A yellow flag is been waved as his team wheel him back to the Aston Martin garage.
Max Verstappen's Red Bull has aero rakes attached just behind his front wheels. The data will give the engineers important information about airflow around the car.

Good morning everyone.
Welcome to day three of testing.
