Zhou has beached his Alfa Romeo at the final corner. He's out of the session.

A 1m25.197s for Verstappen, 1.5s clear of Norris.

Leclerc completes the top three, 2.0s off. The Ferrari driver just had an off at Turn 1. 

Magnussen's car has been cleared and the session is back underway.

Verstappen, Bottas, Albon, Zhou, Norris, Sargeant, Lawson and Piastri.

No times from anyone else.

His first time puts him third overall, 3.2s off the pace.

It does look like the rain is a bit heavier now.

He runs off the track at Turn 3 (banked corner). He manages to keep it out of the barrier.

His first time is 7.5s off Verstappen's top time.

"I'm surprised in a way not taking his hands off the wheel, but I think he was just desperately trying to make the corner right until the last moment."

Official risk of rain for final practice is 100 percent.

A baptism of fire for Lawson on his F1 debut.

Liam Lawson will make his F1 debut this weekend after Daniel Ricciardo was ruled out of the weekend with a broken wrist following his crash in FP2.
