    Sebastian Vettel improves with 1:19.098. He's third and just under a second off Valtteri Bottas' benchmark time but he also has the super-softs on the Ferrari. Bottas' time came on the slower soft tyre compound.

    The car is probably fine but they can't send it out because you would be risking the engine, you wouldn't know if anything is about to break on it.

    Marcus Ericsson has no telemetry. The screens in the garage are not working. If you have no telemetry these days it is pretty hard to go out.

    Just the one driver hasn't done anything near a representative time yet - Marcus Ericsson. He's only managed six laps this morning and has been back at base for a fair while now.

    Valtteri Bottas is not only eighth tenths quicker than his team-mate but also 1.7 seconds quicker than anyone else. He's nailing it today while everyone else appears to be struggling with the wind and grip levels.

    If ever there was a gauntlet thrown down, this is it by Mercedes and particularly Bottas.

  20. More spins and crashespublished at 11:03 British Summer Time 11 May 2018

    Both Williams are on the super-soft tyres... and both struggle to keep the car facing the right way on the track.

    Robert Kubica spins but manages to avoid any major damage to the car but Lance Stroll is not so lucky as he goes off heavily at Turn 5 and gets stuck in the gravel.
