Big wobble from Kvyat coming through Campsa after carrying in good speed. Controlled it.
Raikkonen's lap is a new personal best of 1m17.286s, which elevates him to fifth. Kvyat follows his lead and goes sixth on the C4 tyre.
Vettel has been into the pits, but is off towards Turn 1 again after practicing a start.
Bottas heads back out on C3s for Mercedes. Raikkonen appears to be on C5s as he heads over the line for a first timed lap on this run.
Kvyat and Raikkonen are back on track.
No road blocks this time, but Vettel can't improve on this latest lap either. It's a 1m17.214s this time round for the Ferrari driver.
It's a new fastest time of all for the Ferrari in the first sector.
Vettel has dropped well back from Grosjean and into a clear bit of air now.

Grosjean goes off wide out of Turn 7 and goes through the gravel on the inside of eight. Keeps going after a bumpy ride. Probably pulled a bit of gravel onto the track.
Ah - looks like Vettel got caught behind the Haas of Grosjean towards the end of that latest lap and wasn't able to improve.

Vettel stunningly fast through Campsa. Carries in huge speed and the car stays nailed.
Bottas and Kvyat are both back in the pits.
Vettel is out for what appears to be another performance run; he's fastest of all in the first sector.
But both efforts fall away at the end of the lap - Bottas is around two tenths shy of his best, while Kvyat is 0.4s down.
Bottas does a new fastest time of all in the second sector for good measure.
Kvyat and Bottas both set personal bests in the first sector.
Kubica is out on the C4 on this run. He's now a second adrift again at the foot of the order.
It's a new personal best for Kvyat on this latest lap. He sets a 1m17.599s.
Bottas is also out again on another set of the C5s.
Ricciardo, Perez and Raikkonen all head back to the pits, but Kubica has taken the Williams out again.
Vettel is now back in the pits, but Kvyat has headed back out on C3s for Toro Rosso.
Perez has improved his time and goes back up to eighth ahead of Raikkonen with a 1m17.849s.
Ricciardo gets within two tenths of his fastest time on this latest lap, which includes a personal best in the final sector.
Ricciardo is on C5s in the Renault, as is Perez in the Racing Point.
Vetterl comes into the pits but only to head back out for a practice start, as Sainz takes the McLaren back to the track.
Raikkonen only improves marginally in the end, staying eighth on a 1m17.934s.
Ricciardo and Perez have also headed back out.
New overall best in the first sector for Raikkonen on this run, although his sector two time isn't an improvement.
Vettel can't improve in sectors two or three, though, and doesn't better his fastest time.
It's C4s for the Alfa of Raikkonen.
After a slow lap, Vettel goes faster again in the first sector on his latest run.
Raikkonen ensures it's not a one-car show out on track for long by taking the Alfa Romeo back out.

Vettel carries great speed into Turn 9. Hugely impressive what that car can do.
Grosjean brings the Haas back to the pits, having taken his lap count to 58 for the morning.
Emphatically so - the Ferrari driver takes a full second off his previous best, and is now third on a 1m16.929s.
Vettel looks set to improve on this lap.
Bottas and Kvyat are both back in the pits after those short runs, so it's just Grosjean and Vettel (on C4s) out there now.
Vettel has headed back out in the Ferrari.
