1. Sainz

2. Leclerc

3. Perez - with a problem in the pits

"The car is bottoming out a dangerous amount," complains Hamilton, who is down in eighth.

Here it is.

Norris is out, as is Ocon, Ricciardo, Zhou and Bottas. Hamilton ended up being dragged into sixth by a Russell-provided slipstream.

12. Ocon

13. Ricciardo

In Q2, Vettel goes straight into a wall and he too can restart. A dreadful time for Aston Martin today.

2. Leclerc

3. Vertsappen

4. Perez

We go again.

Take a look.

Magnussen, Albon, Latifi, Stroll and Schumacher are out!

For a few seconds...

Here's Toto Wolff.

Stroll again, he pulls up on the right. He hits the wall and has lost a rear or front wing. Who will this cost on the elimination? His right tyre has gone too.

Turn 11, Lance Stroll clips a barrier and is able to restart. It's back to a green flag now as he could get away easily enough.

Albon, Bottas, Latifi, Stroll and Schumacher. Under seven minutes remaining.

Russell goes past Hamiton and then complains about the Red Bull man ahead of him.

We're into the first 18 minute session.
