Stoffel Vandoorne spun at turn 20 yesterday. He clearly liked it so much that he decided to do exactly the same again today. Back to the pits for him.

The best, worst and most bizarre moments of the season
Matt Claypole: The numerous duels between Ocon and Perez. Fiery and (for all intents and purposes) rather expensive. It was as if they were magnetised to each other or something.
Simon Kendall: Worst: Pirelli tyres. Best: Monaco (always). Bizarre: Grid penalties.
Megan Walton: The start of the race in Singapore has got to be the best, worst and most bizarre moment of the year all rolled into one surely! Though my personal highlight is actually being at Budapest to watch the racing!

We are asking for the most bizarre moment of the season, and we have a contender for that now. As an umbrella has stopped play.
Yes, really.
With the drivers under a yellow flag, an official scuttles across the track to collect the offending white umbrella and we are good to go again.

We are getting going now. Lewis Hamilton shaves seven tenths off his time and his time of 1:38.159 is the best. Valtteri Bottas has jumped up from fourth to second, with the two Ferraris third and fourth. Max Verstappen has just bumped Fernando Alonso down to sixth.
Romain Grosjean's problems continue. He hit a wall in session one, spun in session two and then slides today.
"I'm not learning anything," says a frustrated Grosjean.
Brendon Hartley is also having problems, going really wide at a corner.

Lewis Hamilton jumps to the top with an effort of 1:38.702, but that is almost a second slower than his best time yesterday so lots of room for improvement.
All cars are sporting the ultra-softs today. It is a Ferrari two-three, with Raikkonen ahead of Vettel, and Valtteri Bottas makes up the top four.

A gentle start to the day so far.
Fifteen minutes gone, and only three drivers have set a time. Kimi Raikkonen is the fastest of those with 1:38.999, with Stoffel Vandoorne and Brendon Hartley, who will have a 10-place grid penalty, the only others to have set times.

Pirelli face criticism over new tyre planspublished at 10:04 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017
Andrew Benson
BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer at Yas MarinaPirelli has presented this weekend its plans to have new tyres available for next season, and it has generated some dismay, not to mention criticism. The range has been expanded to seven tyres - with a “super-hard” at one end and a ”hyper-soft” at the other.
Given that the teams have been complaining this year that all the tyres are too conservative this year, and that Pirelli has said it is going one step softer with all the tyres, there is a general feeling that it is confusing and unnecessary.
But Pirelli F1 boss Mario Isola defended the plan: “This is exactly the target to have more compounds. We don’t have more compounds at each race; the system is the same as this year with three compounds selected by Pirelli in agreement with the FIA. But with a wider range we can have the right compounds at each race.
"This year was a bit tricky because with the hard compound, which was a bit too conservative and the other four compounds available, we have to race on 20 circuits with only limited movement across the compounds. The idea is absolutely not to generate more confusion, it is to keep the same philosophy, different colours immediately recognisable by spectators, who also decided the name of the pink (tyre) but all the three compounds useable at each race so different strategies: one stop, two stop or even more.”

End of twitter post'Grumblings of discontent'published at 10:02 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2017
Andrew Benson
BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer at Yas MarinaThere have been some grumblings of discontent in private from the teams at the fact their payments from Formula 1’s new commercial rights holders are going down.
The team bosses in the Friday news conference were saying all the right things politically, about needing to give Liberty Media time, and that given they were investing in the sport and running things differently from Bernie Ecclestone there was bound to be a short-term dip.
But in pointing out that they are awaiting Liberty’s presentation of the next stage of their plans in December with interest, there is a definite undertone of - can you please get on with giving us some clarity, and when you do, this had better be good, but we’re not entirely sure yet that it’s going to be plain sailing.
