  2. That peck on the wall at Turn 12 has mucked up George Russell's front right tyre, he tells the Mercedes pit wall.

    Out on track, Nicholas Latifi gets in the way of the drivers just behind and the Williams is placed in the bad books.

  3. Russell dusts himself off and the yellow flag is cleared, while Lando Norris returns to the McLaren garage for some TLC on his car.

    George Russell has come to a stop in sector two due to a lock up. Escape road is there for you...

  5. Not to be left behind, Carlos Sainz knocks Max Verstappen out of the top two in the pecking order with a 1:13.066.

  7. The quickest time is changing hands at a rapid pace.

    Charles Leclerc was top with a 1:13.125 but Max Verstappen responded with a 1:13.103 to leapfrog the Monegasque driver.

    But this is Charles' home turf. He needs a good weekend in front of his adoring fans. So his next flying lap is even better and he gives his supporters a 1:12.764 to go back to the top of the timing sheets.

  8. Third place has vacated by Fernando Alonso to make way for the Mercedes of George Russell, who clocks a 1:13.884 on the soft tyres.

    Yuki Tsunoda cries he needs more room for his Alpha Tauri but the Japanese racer is not going to get it, it's packed out on track.

  9. Fernando Alonso and Kevin Magnussen have a little flirtation with the top spots on the leaderboard but Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen retake the quickest time positions.

    Alonso is down to third, Magnussen is fourth.

  10. Team radio - Latifi to Williams

    "There is still debris on the braking line."

  11. Go! Go! Go!

    Under way again.

  12. A favourite of the fans but how does Ricciardo now recover and find a way of becoming comfortable with his McLaren?

  13. Daniel Ricciardo has returned to the garage and is debriefing his McLaren team about what happened.

  14. Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The McLaren move hasn't really worked out for Ricciardo and I struggle to see how he is going to turn the corner because once you start to get into a downward spiral - which he is absolutely in - it's difficult to come out the other side.

    It's almost like he needs a refresh, a switch of teams and a different environment to pull things back.

  16. Ricciardo was out later than other drivers but the swimming pool chicane has claimed another car crunched into the barriers.

    The rear of the McLaren pulled away from Ricciardo and there was not much the Aussie could do. The car is now being lifted into the air while the marshals clear the debris.

    "Glad you're OK," says Ricciardo's engineer.

    Daniel Ricciardo is in a spot of bother.

    "I'm Ok," says the McLaren driver.

  18. A new top five has emerged.

    Sergio Perez still heads the field but Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly have now joined the party.

  19. Lewis Hamilton is on the team radio informing the Mercedes crew is has a massive flat spot on one of his tyres.

    Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel dices with the wall but comes away unscathed after taking a bit too much kerb. Lucky.

  20. Top five

    1. Sergio Perez (Red Bull) - 1:14.001

    2. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

    3. Lando Norris (McLaren)

    4. George Russell (Mercedes)

    5. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
