The end of this session is placed under investigation by the commissioners.

No developments took place in this strange end of Q3. Lewis Hamilton will start second ahead of Valtteri Bottas.

The nine cars on the track are incredibly slow! Will they pass before the checkered flag?

The little game of drivers slowing down on the track resumes... It's difficult to see clearly! 

The session resumes with six minutes remaining.

Valtteri Bottas is finally credited with the third provisional time, 47 thousandths behind Charles Leclerc. Lewis Hamilton is only 39 thousandths behind Charles Leclerc.

The Finn actually did not set a time because the red flag was already waved as he passed the start/finish straight. Same punishment for Alexander Albon and Lance Stroll.

Bad pass for Valtteri Bottas, only credited with the seventh fastest time! 

Lewis Hamilton sets the second provisional time ahead of Sebastian Vettel. The Renaults are in the position with Daniel Ricciardo fourth and Nico Hülkenberg fifth! 

Best time for Charles Leclerc in 1'19″307!

Same fault for the Mercedes, disturbed by a McLaren.

Things are looking bad for Ferrari, with the Renaults between the two red cars! 

Things are moving on the track. The drivers zigzag to have enough clear track but also the aspiration of cars in front! 

On this circuit where aspiration is essential, Sebastian Vettel leads his teammate Charles Leclerc, while Lewis Hamilton is ahead of Valtteri Bottas.

The starting signal sounds for Q3! Will Ferrari take pole or be overtaken at the last minute by a Mercedes? What to expect from Daniel Ricciardo, will the Renault fall into line or continue to amaze among the top teams? 

Here is the ranking after Q2:
