    Makes you wonder what Ferrari boss Sergio Marchionne will make of what happened with Sebastian Vettel's car and Ferrari's initial decision to tell him to stop. Fuming? Vettel's decision to ask if they were sure could prove massive.

    And now Sebastian Vettel goes fastest of all with 1:20.939.

    What a call he made to carry on, despite his team saying he should stop. Displaying all the experience of a four-time world champion.

    Romain Grosjean carries a bit too much speed into a corner and spins. He begrudgingly accepts it his fault and not the car's.

    Meanwhile, Stoffel Vandoorne goes quickest with 1:23.219.

    "Seems better now," Sebastian Vettel says after a little fiddle with some settings.

    "OK, you can push," he is told.

    And breathe...

    "Stop the car. Stop the car," Sebastian Vettel is told. "Try to reach the box."
