VER posts a 1m15.688s - but it could have been quicker had he not endured a snap of oversteer at Turn 10. it's enough to put him ahead of the two Ferraris at this stage

PIA and NOR burst to the top of the order, a 1m15.468s doing enough for the local hero. NOR was just 0.088s behind

RUS was a tenth off VER's time, but the Mercedes driver had old tyres on - VER and the McLarens both had fresh softs on. meanwhile, SAI rattles his fillings out on the Turn 10 exit kerb and asks for a check on his floor

Both LEC and HAM lost time in the final sector - about three tenths a piece. the C5 tyres require a delicate touch earlier in the lap, and it seems the SF-25 can't quite provide that

📻 LEC: “Front left is completely gone”

Current drop zone with four minutes to go: HAD, STR, BOR, ALO, DOO

DOO got track limits'd after going off-track at Turn 12, although his time wasn't stunning in any case. he'll have one more chance with some fresh boots

Phwoar, BOR takes too much kerb at Turn 4 and just about saves his car from a huge accident. that'll kill his lap, but it's a great save

HAM's had a spin, which switches off DRS with the waved yellows - that's seen off a handful of laps from drivers trying to get out of the drop zone

Looks like Ferrari is 4th fastest car this year, after McLaren, (Max's) Red Bull and (Russell's) Mercedes. So much for the hype.....

Do hope LeClerc can shame Hamilton into retiring at the end of the season. Ferrari should try to sign Norris at the first opportunity. Got a feeling McLaren is looking at Piastri as having more long-term potential.

Max could still win a 5th championship this year if Norris and Piastri get ugly fighting for the championship.

🏁 NOR goes quickest at the end of Q2, as VER gets a swapper on at the end of the lap to ruin his chances of moving to the top. our top 10 drivers are:
1. NOR
2. PIA
3. VER
4. RUS
5. LEC
6. HAM
7. SAI
8 .TSU
9. ALB
10. GAS

Looks like a fight between the 2 Mac drivers for pole. Toto was right, ham is old already, can't keep up with the young guys.
