Perez is in the garage - he's out of the rest of FP3 with a mechanical issue.

Bottas into 13th, 1.1s down on Hamilton.

Verstappen is currently flying on the softs - he's on course to take P1 again off Hamilton.

He goes 0.2s clear of Verstappen. Not the best of final sectors for Hamilton.

Russell only third, 0.2s off.
