    The umbrellas are up for the fans watching on. It's not raining, it's just to shield from the roasting hot Spanish sun.

    George Russell and his Mercedes still heads the field.

    Andrew Priestley: As far as copycat jobs go, that’s a poor attempt by Aston Martin.

    Lewis Hamilton is trying to get that Mercedes under control, but ends up having sausage kerb for his dinner after running wide. Max Verstappen, who is sixth, takes a big chunk of red and white kerb too.

    George Russell is looking pacey and is quickest man out of the pack with a 1:19.470.

    Just on his tail is team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who sits in second place.

    Championship leader Charles Leclerc can only slot into fourth.

    Congratulations I have to say to Mick Schumacher and his Haas team.

    They did a fantastic job at being able to mend that car after a rear right fire that destroyed the drum around the brake.

    There was a lot of damage to that, they changed the gearbox in between FP3 and qualifying and hats off to them and hats off to Schumacher for finding form.
