While Russell took responsibility after the session, a delayed message can hear him questioning why the car was not fuelled to the end of the session.

So it's Perez - who crashed - Russell, Zhou, Gasly and Ocon are the five that fall.

The same can't be said down at Alpine, with Ocon visibly furious as he makes his way to the FIA garage for the compulsory parc ferme checks.

Bottas goes 10th for Sauber, something that Zhou can't replicate, and Sargeant also improves.
That means Russell is out! The Mercedes driver fails to advance.

Where has this come from? This is bad for Alpine. Albon and Hulkenberg go into the top six.

It's looking like an issue for Alpine as Stroll and Ricciardo go personal best in the first sector.
Verstappen improves to go second, the track, somehow, is drying and improving!

Russell posts a time good enough to jump from 14th to 10th.
Neither Alpine is on track, despite sitting 11th and 13th. That's a gutsy call.

Russell is on his second lap out of the pits now and is already six-tenths down on Hamilton's time.
Ten cars are out on track now as green sector times start to show. How quickly is the track coming to these drivers?

Only five cars are on track which means the dry line won't emerge as quickly. Whilst dry enough for slicks, this isn't dry enough for fast times. DRS is still disabled, too.

It certainly looks dry enough, it is hard to believe given the rain that was falling five minutes ago.

Sagreant must have pranged the front suspension in that knock with the barrier earlier as Williams get to work on repairs. The session is close to restarting.

Perez is a man under pressure from Red Bull regarding his place in F1 and, after crashing at Silverstone, this is not going to help his case.
Liam Lawson and Tsunoda will be itching to get into that seat.

Whilst the red flags are out, the rain has increased.
It looks like that will be it for Q1, which means Ricciardo, Stroll, Magnussen, Zhou and Hulkenberg are consigned to elimination - barring any miracles.

It's the same mistake as Russell made on his lap, though at least the Mercedes caught the slide.
To be fair to Perez, it's not a ridiculous error, but they are piling up.

Perez grabbed the kerb on entry to Turn 8 and rotated into the barriers.
The medical light comes on so that will be a trip to the medical centre. He was ninth, there was no need to take risks. Was it a needless risk, or just one of those accidents in such conditions?

The track is still evolving despite the raindrops.
