    "Hamilton ruins the lap - he'll only have one shot now. And could only start fifth."

    One lap left for Hamilton, maybe two if he is lucky.

    Lewis Hamilton goes wide, on to the grass. He is only fifth at the moment.

    Ricciardo goes over a corner. Slippy and treacherous. Pole could be grabbed by any one of nine here.

    Bottas' spin was mega - 200mph at Blanchimont - heart in mouth.

    Ferrari are going to be cursing this weather. Fastest in all practice sessions and in both parts of qualifying. Now, who knows?

  17. Postpublished at 14:52 British Summer Time 25 August 2018

    Eight minutes left.

    Sergio Perez is another lucky boy, not to prang into the barrier.

    "The rain is coming down here. And Bottas is off! He hasn't hit anything, he just crawls back on to the track."

    Back into the pits for everyone, apart from Esteban Ocon, who is rolling the dice and gambling.
