EMILIA-ROMAGNA GRAND PRIX QUALIFYING - AS IT HAPPENED

That's a disappointment for the chasing pack, but Leclerc has second, Norris - in the barrier and the cause of the red flag - is now in third. Can he restart after that crash? We'll find out tomorrow at Saturday's sprint.

4. Magnussen

5. Alonson

6. Ricciardo

7. Perez

8. Bottas

9. Vettel

10. Sainz

There's a rush of cars out the pits to try to get another lap or two in.

There are three minutes left after Bottas slides off on a straight.

Verstappen has first with 1:27.999 for now. Leclerc is 8/10 of a second back in third.

There's enough for two laps, right?

Verstappen 0.020 seconds behind, then Ricciardo. We have four minutes left.

1. Verstappen

2. Norris

3. Perez

Leclerc is in fourth, so he has a tiny window of opportunity here.

The teams take advantage of a little break in Q3, which allows us to listen in to Sainz explaining his error.

But it's been restarted and he - I think it's Magnussen - is going to get back to the pit. There are nine minutes remaining. He just lost it on the corner after getting onto a white line.

The rain appears to have relented a little here, but it's still certainly wet on the track. It would be a surprise right now if anyone improves on their Q2 showing.

With the rain there was no chance, and Mercedes end their streak of at least one driver in Q3.

The teams can come back out as they wish.

He lost the rear right and span out. Here's how he saw it.

The rain is coming too! Russell, Schumacher, Hamilton, Zhou and Stroll could be for it here. If we get a red flag that allows the rain to build up on the track, then it could ruin the rest of their attempts to set a decent time.

The Spaniard looks absolutely fine, and he's currently in second, with Verstappen ahead.

As things stand:

Sainz, Leclerc, Verstappen.

'ONE TIMED LAP BEFORE RAIN HITS'

The Ferrari team tell Leclerc to crack on, because it could start rodding down soon.

Here is how they ended Q1. Q2 begins imminently.

In 15th, 4/1000ths of a second ahead of Tsunoda.

Gasly, Latifi, Ocon and Albon - of course - are all relegated.

'This is crazy' - Hamilton says of his car's poor pace.

Latifi has stopped, meaning there were briefly yellow flags in the first two sectors.

Meanwhile - with the green flag back in place - we have a top four of:

And we're back out after the guff on the track has been swept away. Bottas is in second, Verstappen third. Hamilton is in seventh.

Here's how it looked when Albon suffered his bother. There could be a few minutes without any action as they clear up.
