Sainz ends it with each the quickest time and probably the most laps with 127. Full classification developing shortly.

A complete of 58 laps throughout two onerous compound and one medium compound tyre. It appeared very promising. Leclerc has one other 12 or 13 laps to go on his ultimate ‘stint’.

I ponder if we are going to see any ‘glory runs’ on the finish of right now. Sainz and Lawson have had all day right now so won’t be of their automobiles tomorrow, so possibly from them? Most likely not, although.

03:11 PM GMTWe go onboard with Lando Norris

I believe the McLaren seems to be fairly good in the mean time. That’s what we must always count on, after all, however they haven’t at all times begun seasons so effectively. That features final 12 months, too.

Anyway, Norris is in thirteenth however is 16 laps into his present stint on the onerous tyres after a 18-lap stint on one other set of hards after which 20 on a set of mediums. He’s at the moment lapping within the 1:32s…

02:21 PM GMTSainz runs extensive on the ultimate flip

He goes effectively off the monitor, although that shouldn’t be an infinite trigger for concern.

It seems to be like repairs to the ground space with the automotive up on the excessive stands. He did run extensive at flip 4 earlier, maybe clunked the kerb there or gravel kicked up in an unlucky manner.

Lando Norris is again out, by the best way, onto his thirteenth lap with two hours and 11 minutes remaining.
