    Hands on heads in the Ferrari garage as the replays show Charles Leclerc sliding across the track.

    Max Verstappen goes top with a time of 1:19.073. Pressure is now on for Leclerc to respond.

    Right, a 1:19.423 is put down by Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.

    Nightmare for team-mate Charles Leclerc! He spins and ruins his first flying lap!
