Ricciardo's set a personal best sector right off the bat on this new stint.
And he's straight back out after a pitstop.
Leclerc pits and takes his total for today to 101 laps.
Another personal best for Bottas in the first sector.
That was set on Bottas's 15th timed lap on this stint.
Personal best second sector for Bottas now, and he improves to 1m20.813s.
The timing screen is refusing to accept faster laps, but we'll allow it.

Lewis Hamilton enters the 2019 season seeking a sixth world title. Our partner Pitstop Betting is offering odds of 2/1 that he’ll win over 10 races this year and 7/1 that he gets more than 12 victories. 
Leclerc's a bit more on the pace after letting Stroll go, his latest is a 1m22.233s.
Leclerc has now dropped off the back of Stroll. To be fair to the Racing Point driver, he's still lapping in the high 1m22s, so his long-run pace isn't particularly sluggish.
Shouldn't have said anything. The Mercedes driver's next lap is a 1m21.316s.
Remarkable consistency again from Bottas. Here's a snapshot of his last five laps: 1m21.1s, 1m21.1s, 1m21.2s, 1m21.1s, 1m21.1s.
Leclerc's latest time is a 1m22.619s. He's currently bottled up behind the Racing Point of Stroll.
In comes Ricciardo now to end that short run.
Ricciardo sets a personal best in the second sector on his latest lap but can't improve. Still waiting to see his time upgraded.
Bottas is already up to 52 laps for the afternoon, even with that lengthy stoppage. Nobody has got to 100 so far today, although Albon (94) is pretty close.
Another new 'fastest' lap of 1m18.161s for Ricciardo, but the timing screen is still refusing to accept it.
Ricciardo sets a new personal best in the first sector.
Bottas has also headed back out on the C2 tyre.
A bit of a timing screen glitch, as one part suggests his best lap is a 1m19.253s but another says his latest effort was a new personal best of 1m18.544s.
Stroll is on the C2, while Ricciardo is on the C3.
Leclerc's first timed lap on this run is a 1m21.284s, as Russell heads back to the end of the pitlane on C3s. Stroll and Ricciardo also head out.
Russell follows him out in the Williams.
As soon as we say that, Leclerc heads back out in the Ferrari.
Nobody's in any rush to head back out right now.
Anyway, those barrier repairs were quicker than we expected, and the session is back underway.
Information
The accident was at Turn 9 after all, and it looks like Gasly lost it early in the corner. The bit of track that was deceiving us - running uphill into a right-hander, rather than the normal exit from Turn 9 that heads downhill towards the big breaking point - is the alternative kink going off to the left after Turn 9.
