It looks like there's a four-way fight between teams for pole tomorrow, with Mercedes and Ferrari at least near McLaren and Red Bull.

Just under four minutes to go in FP2 and given there was a delay, there hasn't been too much running lost for the teams.
Red Bull was most impacted it has to be said, but the long runs don't look so bad for the team.

That's better from Hamilton as he posts a 1m25.1s. That's much more competitive on this plan compared to Mercedes' rivals.

Russell is doing a different long-run plan it seems, as he sets a 1m24.2s.
The McLarens are on 1m24.7s, Ferrari hovering on a 1m25 and Verstappen pretty close. Hamilton is the outlier some eight-tenths further back.

You have to go down to Colapinto in 16th to find the first driver outside a second of Hamilton's best time.
If that's what to expect for tomorrow, then we could have Zandvoort-esque surprises across qualifying.

Among all of this, Bottas is still in the top 10 on what has been a great day for the Finn in the Sauber.

Of those on softs, only Tsunoda has found improvement but goes just 15th. It's extremely tight around this lap though.

Perez must have had traffic because his final sector was poor - he ends up failing to improve on his medium-tyre run, some nine-tenths off the pace.

We are back under way.
The majority are on medium tyres, only one Red Bull is on softs and it's Perez. Verstappen is on mediums.
Russell stays on mediums and makes a move on Perez to get some clean air for his race sim.

Just under 19 minutes to go and the cars are revved up for the restart. There's a queue forming at the end of the pits - a Red Bull indeed is on red-walled softs.

The good news is that the stricken Haas has been removed, so quick barrier checks and we should be back under way.

The problem for Red Bull now is that, should it elect to still run a quali sim with Verstappen and Perez after this delay, it won't be representative compared to time and track conditions of its rivals.
They will all likely be switching to race sims for the remainder of the session.

Not ideal for Magnussen today. A fine for Haas for his impeding of Sainz in FP1 and now a crash in FP2. Yikes.

It's Magnussen who's shunted, losing the rear on entry to the right-hander.
He rotates and ends up going front-first into the tyre barrier, with damage to the front-left corner.

Ricciardo is seventh for RB and Bottas is yet to be bumped from the top 10, though Russell is on a long run and both Red Bulls are yet to set a competitive time.

Down the order, Colapinto has done a fine job. He is less than two-tenths behind Albon on the soft tyres, that's pretty impressive.

Verstappen couldn't complete his lap at a competitive pace, catching a slide at the final corner and keeping it out of the gravel.

More improvements as Stroll and Magnussen go sixth and seventh with their soft runs. But the majority of drivers are on track now.

Perez's lack of running is down to a precautionary gearbox change during the lunchbreak, but he looks ready to hit the track as Russell finally emerges.
