Fernando Alonso has got his timing all wrong on that final lap.

Liam Lawson: I had no grip on this tyre, absolutely no grip.

Lando Norris goes P2 and 0.085 seconds behind his team-mate Oscar Piastri with less than a minute to go.
Lewis Hamilton, aided by a tow from George Russell, goes second fastest and a slim 0.063 seconds slower than Piastri.

Another scramble to get out and get lap in before time runs out.
The conditions out there are about as good as you're going to get on a cooler late summer weekend here, and it's nice and dry.
Could anyone breach the 1:11s in Q1?

Less than a second separates the top 12 right now.
Just under four minutes left on the clock and Oscar Piastri is the fastest man on track so far with a 1:12.848.

Ferrari have a strong package here, Leclerc showed it earlier in the sprint. There is performance in this Ferrari and when they can find the key and unlock that, the Ferrari is unbeatable in certain conditions. I wouldn't write either of their drivers out of pole.

Lewis Hamilton's just had a huge lock up going into turn one and will have likely flatspotted his softs.
He's back in the garage for now.

Being hampered by traffic will cost you massively on this track.

Eight minutes left on the clock and the two Alpines are the only drivers yet to set a time as things stand.

Wind directions have turned about 45 degrees from the direction it's been all weekend. It's not dramatic but it can have a significant impact on the aerodynamics of the car and how the car feels for the drivers.

The times are coming down pretty sharpish now, as you might expect.
Lando Norris hauls his McLaren into top spot shortly before he's bettered by Oscar Piastri and George Russell, with Piastri setting a 1:12.848.
Top fivepublished at 15:07 BST 22 August

1. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) 1:13.406
2. Liam Lawson (Red Bull)
3. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
4. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
5. Yuki Tsunoda (Racing Bulls)

The midfield has become hotly contested as the season's drawn on. That midfield battle has become very tense and very close.
Postpublished at 15:06 BST 22 August

The track is probably about as dry as we've seen it at any point in this weekend and has certainly begun to rubber in by now.
The two Ferraris impress, with Charles Leclerc initially going fastest only for Lewis Hamilton to take top spot with a 1:13.406.
The two Red Bulls then split the two Ferraris, with Liam Lawson second fastest as things stand and just three one-thousandths behind Hamilton.

Ferrari made the smart decision to split their strategy between the two drivers with Leclerc on the soft tyres and collecting that data for the team. They have extra data on the soft compound now.

Yuki Tsunoda, stepping in at short notice in the Racing Bulls car today, is the first man to set a time in this session.
His 1:14.287 is currently the fastest time of the afternoon among the handful of drivers to complete a lap.

Postpublished at 15:01 BST 22 August

A big old queue to get out of the pit lane, here.
Not unlike the queue for yellow stickers in my local supermarket post-6pm.

I think we're in for something pretty intense here.
