Β Piastri then goes nearly four tenths faster than Verstappen, with Norris in between the two. Antonelli puts his Mercedes into third before his teammate Russell has not had a great lap, coming over the line in 11th. They are used tyres for Russell.The Ferrari pair seem to be a little off the pace, behind the Williams pair. 9:40PM Off we go in Q2 The green light is showing at the end of the pit lane.

It was more a kiss than a thump on the wall for Norris. 9:33PM Hamilton into the bottom five The seven-time world champion is just starting his final lap with 15 seconds remaining and needs a good lap as he is in the bottom five currently... 9:31PM Final runs A number of drivers are coming back onto the track with new soft tyres on.
