It was in the final sector where Hamilton picked up pace and it is all about traction in the final sector and was brilliant from Hamilton as he kept the tyres alive right to the end.
Esteban Ocon, Felipe Massa, Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso have stayed in the pits so they are going for a solitary run.
Max Verstappen goes fifth quickest with 1:19.8767 but Daniel Ricciardo's lap is a scruffy one and he ends up half a second down on his team-mate.
Neither of the Ferraris can top that as Kimi Raikkonen goes third quickest, three tenths down on Lewis Hamilton's time while Sebastian Vettel is half a second down in P4.
Valtteri Bottas is the first across the line with a 1:19.390... but Lewis Hamilton goes even quicker! A 1:19.149 and a quarter of a second quicker than Bottas!
Where did that come from?
Valtteri Bottas quickest in the middle sector but Kimi Raikkonen smashes it out of the park in the first sector...
