Hamilton is currently P18 but, like Verstappen, Vettel and Zhou, hasn't done a lap on softs. There's about 15 minutes left for any final FP1 runs.

Bottas' time was good enough for P15, which lifts him above both Mercedes. But Russell now looks like he's on a better lap...

Leclerc moves up to fourth in the times, 0.282s off of Sainz. Otherwise, it's quite quiet on track - Bottas looks like he's improving.

Perez has an off at Turn Something Or Other, the exit of T9 perhaps? He's still P5 on the timing board.

Tsunoda displaces Verstappen from the top 10, but Gasly displaces Tsunoda in turn. Neither Mercedes currently occupies the top 10, which is somewhat surprising.

Sainz looked to be starting another lap, but he's backed out. Magnussen moves up to eighth in the meantime, and then has a small complaint about a slow Hamilton. Leclerc also has a complain.
