With limited time left in the session, all drivers have now switched over to the prototype tyres to complete Pirelli's run plan.
Session is restarted and 37 minutes are left on the clock.
Red Bull wrapped up the constructors' title thanks to 15 victories and 656 points.
Ferrari are 53 points clear of Mercedes in the hunt for second place, while the Alpine and McLaren scrap continues to be a tight affair. The French team have got Fernando Alonso's six points back after the Spaniard's Austin penalty was overturned.
Another 25 points on the board for two-time world champion Max Verstappen moves the Dutchman onto 391 points.
Charles Leclerc's third-placed finish in Texas helped the Ferrari man jump above the other Red Bull of Sergio Perez - who finished fourth - in the fight to end the season as runner-up.
Let's have a look at the championship standings - even though the main prizes have been taken - while we're still under the red flag...
The fans are certainly turning this delay into fiesta time. Maybe we'll go for something a little bit more sedate and grab a cup a cup of tea while we wait for the session to restart.

The battered and bruised Ferrari has been recovered by the truck and is being taken away for the Scuderia mechanics to perform some late-night surgery on it. The marshals are now trying to quickly repair the barriers.
Charles Leclerc has made his way back to the garage for a debrief but there are a lot of fans trying to grab a picture with the Ferrari man. The crowd, meanwhile, are loving the delay. A full Mexican wave ripples around the circuit.

The shunt for Charles Leclerc was in the middle sector at Turn Eight. He's out of the car and walking away with his head down.
It's Charles Leclerc, who's slid backwards into the barriers and bashed up the rear of the car pretty badly. The Monegasque man says he's OK.
A Ferrari has taken a big hit.

A second Haas has appeared. Kevin Magnussen is with us for the final hour.
Everyone has a time on the board - normal rubber or on the development tyres - except for Kevin Magnussen and his Haas. Alex Albon is also on the softs after watching American Logan Sargeant take his Williams for a spin earlier on. Albon slots into 13th place on the leaderboard with a 1:22.447.
Kevin Magnussen is making himself comfortable in the cockpit. Good job there is an extra 30 minutes of running today for the Dane to catch up.
