    Right, so Gasly's time has pushed Sebastian Vettel down to third on the timing sheets.

    Next up it's Fernando Alonso's Alpine team-mate Esteban Ocon, with the McLaren of Daniel Ricciardo slipping into fifth spot late on.

    "A lot of people are making mistakes and the track is a lot busier than it has been. It was a massive snap of oversteer as Verstappen went into Turn Two."

    Unlike Magnussen, however, Verstappen spins as he heads towards the grass as his Red Bull loses the rear due to the slippery surface.

    Max Verstappen stops in exactly the same place as Kevin Magnussen!

    Nicholas Latifi thinks the intermediates should be dumped. "I'm going to crash at every corner almost," says the Canadian driver.

    "Oh, what happened there?!" asks Magnussen on the team radio. The Haas didn't lock up or twitch, it just kept going straight into the grass.

    "Magnussen's car looks intact. I think he's gone straight on at Turn One and gone all the way across the run-off area. But he has managed to stop the car from going into the barrier which is no mean feat on wet grass."

  13. Postpublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 18 June 2022

    The Haas is slowly trying to get his car off the wet grass and back onto the track. He achieves this and we're green again as the Dane is on his way.

    Sebastian Vettel's time was also set on the inters.

    And once again, the top spot changes hands between the former world champs. Fernando Alonso is back to being quickest driver, 0.055s better than the Aston Martin driver's previous time.

    Alonso is purple across the board again and improves his time to hit a 1:34.229.

    Outside bet for a pole today maybe? Or are we just hoping the weather gods will provide us with a chaotic qualifying session?

  18. Postpublished at 18:46 British Summer Time 18 June 2022

    Fernando Alonso is fastest is the middle and final sector and the Spaniard's pace is rewarded with a quickest time of 1:34.836 on the intermediate tyres.

    Alex Albon questions on the radio whether the rain is getting worse, as the Williams driver feels he has less grip now.
