Charles Leclerc looks like he's getting ready to go back out in his Ferrari.
Hamilton is continuing to weave going down the pit straight as he works his C3s up to temperature.
Leclerc has also headed out on the C3s.
Kvyat and Raikkonen return to the pits in unison.
But Kvyat was just touring through - he's gone out for at least one more lap more the lunchbreak, which is less than four minutes (yes, four!) away.
Hamilton isn't troubling the best sector times on his run on the C3s right now.
Grosjean is now being wheeled back into the Haas garage - his long morning race simulation is over.
As we head into the final minute of the morning session - it's just Kvyat and Hamilton out there.
And Kvyat calls it a day just before the chequered flag.
Checkered flag
And that's the morning session over.
There's just one four-hour session of running left in F1 2020.
Hamilton heads in to grab lunch and say goodbye to the W11 until the first race - Bottas will be in the car for Mercedes this afternoon.
So, with the Friday morning session complete, here's a run down of the times:
1 Ricciardo 1m16.276
2 Leclerc 1m16.360
3 Hamilton 1m16.410
4 Perez 1m16.658
5 Sainz 1m16.820
6 Russell 1m16.871

Here's our report from the morning session, as Ricciardo sends Renault to the top of the times by shading Ferrari driver Leclerc.

We're about to get underway for the afternoon in just one minute's time! Stay tuned...
Green flag
And we're away for the afternoon!
Information
Esteban Ocon is first onto the road, followed by Daniil Kvyat and the practice-starting George Russell.
Ocon immediately presses on to set a first time - he's on C2s.
It's a 1m19.650s for Ocon, 3.3s off of his team-mate's morning benchmark.
Ocon continues to shave time off of his, erm, time - posting a 1m19.361s that time around.
Ocon's sticking with the 1m19s, the sort of time you'd expect on a low-fuel race run on fresh rubber.
Perez now surges out of the pits, bearing a set of C3 tyres upon his Racing Point.

Information
A few returning faces from this morning's session.
Raikkonen in the Alfa Romeo, Kvyat AlphaTauri, Russell in the Williams, Leclerc in the Ferrari and Perez in the Racing Point are back in action.
Taking over from their team-mates are Verstappen (Red Bull), Magnussen (Haas), Ocon (Renault).

I would make the bold prediction that Ricciardo's 1m16.276s lap from session one will go unchallenged this afternoon, as race simulations will take priority.
Of course, this will mean I will end up being absolutely wrong.

Sainz is out on track on C1 tyres and is carrying a fair bit of fuel. His first flying lap was a 1m23.742s.

Leclerc, Kvyat and Magnussen are on the C2 tyres doing long runs right now (Magnussen using the development C2s). Sainz is running the C1s.
Half an hour of the second session is gone. As you'd expect, Magnussen and Ocon are the only updates to the leaderboards - both bringing up the rear with 1m19.616s and 1m19.361s laps respectively. Bottas and Verstappen are yet to appear.
Verstappen comes out for the first time today and is on a set of C2s.
Verstappen returns to pitlane after an initial install lap.
Sainz took the MotoGP way through the last corner and has bailed into pitlane.
Bottas has headed out in the Mercedes on C3 rubber. That's the tyre Hamilton did a lot of his long run work on this morning.
Bottas goes up to 12th with an opening effort of 1m18.201s.
For those of you who have only joined us this afternoon, we've been having a little bit of fun coming up with F1 driver-themed names for football clubs. Here's a few we've been sent on Twitter at #autosportnames - @ReeveSf90 has been pretty prolific and has given us GIOventus and AS Romain, and there's FC BarSalona from @Casey_Jennett_1. We also quite like the very throwback-y Fort Laudadale Strikers from @PeetersJM.
Bottas finds some more time on his second flying lap and improves to a 1m17.790s. Moves up a spot to 11th ahead of Albon. No time from Verstappen yet.
