My cat, Zayd, has decided to come into the room and say hi. He's two seconds away from jumping onto my laptop.

Anyways, everyone has the soft tyres bolted on, apart from the two Aston Martins and Sergio Perez.

McLaren in recent history have been very good when it comes to upgrades and progressing their car for the year.

The same can't be said for the past decade with Ferrari. There's been times where they've started the season with one of if not the fastest car and have gone backwards with the competition.

I'm interested to see how the upgrades develop in the Ferrari camp and if they continue to chip away at Mercedes and McLaren.

Lots of times now on the leaderboard.

McLaren's Lando Norris has set the fastest lap time so far, 1:07.832.

Lewis Hamilton is three tenths behind in the Ferrari and George Russell's Mercedes is third.

George Russell has turned up to the paddock in an England football shirt. He seems ready for the last Group L game tonight!

Luckily for our five Brit drivers, the England's match against Panama will take place after we have wrapped up with qualifying.

Can it be a good weekend overall for the country with a Brit taking the top of the podium after Sunday's race?

George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, Lance Stroll, Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas have all set out on to the circuit.

It is going to get busy now.

Isack Hadjar has set the fastest time so far in the Red Bull.

It's a lap time of 1:09.230 for him.

Nico Hulkenberg is second and Franco Colapinto, third.

Part of me thinks that it's the beginning of Cadillac's journey in Formula 1 and they've been quietly going about their business.

They've been finishing races which is positive. By the end of the year though they need to have scored some points, that has to be their goal.

They have to finish in the top 10 at some point to say it's been a success.

It is a party for one out on the track at the moment. It's just Sergio Perez running his laps.

It is a lap time of 1.11.437 for the Cadillac man, on the medium tyres.

Right then, time for your predictions!

It's not a done deal yet that Mercedes and McLaren are going to be fastest. Ferrari could pull some pace out of the bag.

But right now McLaren and Mercedes look quicker.

Here we go then, the countdown has begun.

It is time for third practice.

Track temperature is a very toasty 48C.
