Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt is tight, and I think that bodes really well for the rest of this session. The track is ramping up, people are finding lap time in the closing stages.
Postpublished at 21:19 BST 23 May
The Aston Martins, Cadillacs and Audis are in the drop zone.
'Another big moment for Leclerc'published at 21:18 BST 23 May
Marc Priestley
Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraCharles Leclerc has just had another big moment coming through the chicane, midway round the lap. He hit the kerb, massively unsettled the car and he was actually looking like it was a decent start to the lap. But that has massively comprised the middle part of his run.
There were ealy good signs but he still doesn't look comfortable with this car.

Lewis Hamilton has pipped his team-mate for the fifth spot now.
Kimi Antonelli is still the fastest driver in Q1.

It's OK Kav, Leclerc has made it to the top five now.

Oliver Bearman has been on his radio to say a piece of his car has fallen off. That does not sound good.
Lando Norris has set a lap time now and has popped his car into the second spot.

Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraCharles Leclerc is still a couple of tenths behind his team-mate Lewis Hamilton. I think when you have an incident like he had, the pressure just starts to rise inside the cockpit; you know you have to deliver and get a lap on the board.

Oh dear, Franco Colapinto was making his way down the pit lane when Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin cut in front. Colapinto had to brake but no contact.

It's time for Q1.
'Great sprint race'published at 20:59 BST 23 May
Marc Priestley
Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt took a few hours to calm down after that sprint race because it was intense from the moment the lights went out until the chequered flag.
There was action not just at the front but all the way through the field there was stuff going on.
This was not one of those sprint that you put down as, "oh, it was alright', this was a great one.
And for me, way better than an FP3.
