    My word! That's very impressive from Max Verstappen!

  2. Verstappen leads in Q2

    Max Verstappen gets into the 1:16s!! That is properly quick - seven tenths quicker than Hamilton.

    John Petrie: Norris schooling Riccardo. Don't think that was the plan.

    2nd Lesmo: Ocon and Alonso dead equal in Q1, nice.

  4. Valtteri Bottas beats Lewis Hamilton by two tenths. It's a 1:17.400 from the Finn.

    Verstappen is even quicker behind. It's game on in Barcelona.

  5. It seems the main contenders on the soft tyres here so we should be able to get a proper comparison of their pace.

    Nine cars are on track. George Russell is among those biding their time in the garage.

  6. 'Tsunoda needs to be patient'

    Yuki Tsunoda is getting the reputation as the shouty sweary man - which is really that good four races into your Formula 1 career. We all know he is promising, but we're not talking about Formula 2 champion coming into F1 here, he's got a lot to prove and he can't just start demanding things immediately, he's got to work hard for it and be patient.

    Maybe that great debut he had in Bahrain set his expectations a bit too high for how things should be. He needs to take a step back and keep a calmer head.

  7. Hamilton and Bottas are both quickly out of the garage at the start of this second qualifying session.

  8. Second qualifying starts

    We go again.

    Here are your full results from Q1.

    Matthew Murnaghan: Lando Norris surprised us there! Will he get a maiden Pole?

    Cactus Jack: Lando fastest nice!

  10. Have we bigged up the Hamilton v Verstappen battle too much? Or are they just biding their time?

  11. 'So tight'

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    It's so unbelievably tight. If Yuki Tsunoda found three tenths, he would've gone from 16th to knocking on the door of the top five here. Super close but... fine margins, and we're going to see that all the way through this qualifying session. Tiny errors make a huge difference.

  12. At the top is was Lando Norris who stole the show with a 1:17.821.

    Bottas was second, Leclerc third and Verstappen fourth. Hamilton ended down in ninth.

    Can Norris repeat that in Q3?

  13. Team radio - Tsunoda to Alpha Tauri

    "I can't xxxx with this car!!"

  14. Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Yuki Tusnoda has not got the most out of that but he's ended the session three and a half tenths away from team-mate Pierre Gasly... who is in third. Bonkers!

  15. Tsunoda is not happy. The beep machine gets its first use. His team-mate Pierre Gasly finished up in fifth.

  16. First qualifying ends

    Yuki Tsunoda, Kimi Raikkonen, Mick Schumacher, Nicholas Latifi and Nikita Mazepin are out!

  17. Ben Edwards
    F1 commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Lando Norris fastest! Wow! In the McLaren!!

  18. NORRIS GOES TOP! Rapid.

  19. Stroll saves himself by going seventh. Giovinazzi looks to be safe too - beating Kimi.

    Over to Lando Norris now...

  20. Raikkonen can only manage 15th. I don't think that'll be enough.
