However, it was a slow session for Mercedes, with George Russell in eighth and Lewis Hamilton in 11th – although his fastest run was curtailed by traffic. Between them was the Red Bull of Sergio Perez in ninth, with Valtteri Bottas rounding out the top-10.
There were no red flags in the session, although we did see a yellow flag in the first sector as Alex Albon spun off the track at Turn 1, although he was able to get going again.
