Red Bull's Max Verstappen quickest in FP2
Sister Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo fastest in FP1 but will start race from back after engine penalties
McLaren and Williams cars struggling at back of pack
Sebastian Vettel leads the drivers' championship, Lewis Hamilton second
We have 30 minutes officially to go, but with the long runs now under way this may be how it finishes.
Have Ferrari got the dream team surrounding Sebastian Vettel to win at his home circuit?

Not even a change of colours can improve Williams' fortunes. Stroll 18th, Sirotkin 19th. Only the struggling Stoffel Vandoorne is slower.

Daniel Eckersley: Re: Ricciardo. People pay good money to watch qualifying, and PU grid penalties make it fairly pointless. Also yay more DRS passes from 20th on the grid. Just deduct constructor points for extra components.
Trev: What about time penalties at the end of the race, that get incrementally more per offence.
What is a fair driver penalty if a team has to change some parts of their car? Discuss. Tweet us via #bbcf1 on Twitter if you want to have to your say.
Daniel Ricciardo is only 12th, but that's because he has only gone out on the mediums in this second session.
Remember, whatever happens, Ricciardo will start at the back after grid penalties for some engine part changes. He was the quickest man in session one. Things get exciting for him again on Sunday, until then probably a case of just going through the motions.

Peter: If Mr Lewis Hamilton is the best of the best, how come Mr Valtteri Bottas is only .1 of a second behind? Couldn't be something to do with the cars could it?
William Savage: Think Ferrari will be the only "big team" with an available seat for next year and Leclerc seems destined for that. Lower down, time for Williams to give Kubica a chance, Hartley will prob go, same for Sirotikin and Ericsson. Norris in for McLaren but for who?
For the third time in three minutes, the track record goes. Valtteri Bottas had broken it first, then Lewis Hamilton did likewise, before Max Verstappen, on the ultrasofts, just throws a 1:13.085 into the mix.
He is now our fastest man.

You write out the top 10 and then the Mercedes duo ruin your hard work. Hamilton, now on the ultrasofts, sends down the new marker with a 1:13.111 and Valtteri Bottas is just behind with a 1:13.190.
Just over three tenths separate the top five of Hamilton, Bottas, Vettel, Verstappen and Raikkonen.

All on ultrasofts, apart from Verstappen, Bottas and Ricciardo (all softs) and Hamilton (mediums)
Who should be racing in 2019 and for which teams?
Adam Varley: It has to be Leclerc to Ferrari next season... I love Kimi, but the raw talent Charles has could do major things in the Prancing Horse! If Ferrari put it off, I'm very sure others will be sending him offers!
Charles Leclerc jumps up to sixth, ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, as the 20-year-old, once again, impresses.
His Sauber team-mate Marcus Ericsson did not take part in FP1, but is a respectable 12th now.

Fernando Alonso is 15th, Stoffel Vandoorne is still struggling in 20th.
Sebastian Vettel has a slight advantage of just 0.046 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. Three different teams in the top three with Valtteri Bottas third.
Image source, Getty ImagesDaniel Ricciardo grinds to a halt and is off and facing the wrong way at turn eight. The yellow flag is briefly seen, but he spins the car back round the right way and he is good to go again.
Image source, Formula 1 TwitterStoffel Vandoorne was slowest earlier on. He is again and on course for a double no driver wants.
Anyone wondering where Williams are if they are not last? Well, 18th and 19th. Another long weekend for Williams.

Sainz, after a limited first session, is 13th with team-mate Nico Hulkenberg in 17th.
Hamilton goes a bit too deep and is wide on the exit of turn six, but not much to worry about there and he comes back on unscathed.

Stephen Taylor: Charles Leclerc to Haas, Grosjean out, Stroll and Hartley out, Sirotkin Out. Ricciardo for Ferrari 2019.
Chris Marsh aka Rek Arathor: Russel to Force India for Perez who goes to Haas for Grosjean, who goes to Williams in place of Stroll. Norris in at McLaren for Vandoorne. Leclerc to Ferrari for Kimi who retires. Kubica in at Williams for Sirotkin, Sainz goes back to Red Bull as Renault pick up Riccardo.
