  1. Kevin Magnussen went into the gravel and that delayed his rivals behind him, and Magnussen gets through, just about. A tactical wonderstroke or just incredibly lucky. I think the second one.

  2. Grosjean out.

  3. Ricciardo out.

  4. Hulkenberg and Albon out.

  5. Magnussen has gone into the gravel.

  6. Right, any late saving?

  7. "Bono, we are not quick on the straights," says a worried-sounding Lewis Hamilton to engineer Pete Bonnington.

  8. Precedent to bite Hamilton?

    Jolyon Palmer has been discussing the prospect of a penalty for Hamilton after he appeared to impede Raikkonen in Q1.

    Palmer points to the incident involving Antonio Giovinazzi and Nico Hulkenberg in Monaco, when the Sauber driver was adjudged to have blocked the Renault man in Q2.

    There seems to be little difference between the two incidents, and Palmer believes the precedent set on that occasion - which saw Giovinazzi handed a three-place grid penalty - could bite Hamilton here.

    Palmer also cited the Sainz incident in Canada, as referenced by Andrew Benson below.

    Hamilton will be investigated after the session to see whether he blocked Raikkonen in Q1. Guilty would mean a three-place grid penalty, as with Sainz in Canada.

  11. The bottom five with five minutes to go are Hulkenberg, Albon, Grosjean, Ricciardo and Sainz.

  12. Lewis Hamilton improves his time, up to fourth and that should be Leclerc, Vettel, Verstappen, Hamilton and Bottas all into Q3. Work needed from Pierre Gasly though.

  13. Front wing damage for Romain Grosjean. You would expect that to have come from a 'sausage' kerb. And, moments later, the television pictures confirm just that.

  14. Confirmation that the incident between Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen will be investigated after the session. The drama may not be over at the end of Q3.

  15. The Ferrari pair, both on the softs, take the lead on the times. Leclerc with a 1:03.459, Sebastian Vettel 0.208 second behind.

  16. Valtteri Bottas with a 1:03.936, two tenths faster than Lewis Hamilton. Max Verstappen is faster than both men though with a 1:03.835.

  17. Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas start Q2 on the mediums - hoping to get through and also start the race on the medium tyres. Will the gamble work?

    The incident between Hamilton and Raikkonen has now been noted...

  19. Time for Q2. Fifteen minutes. Top 10 move into Q3.

    Hamilton DID impede Kimi Raikkonen. This must be investigated and I don't see how it's not a penalty.
