Hulkenberg is quickly on the radio to tell Renault he's OK after that nasty impact, which has done massive damage to the right-hand side of the car.
Crash
Hulkenberg looks like he's gone into the wall on the climb out of the final corner onto the kinked start straight.
Red flag
Hulkenberg has crashed - that's caused an immediate red flag!

Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso have also done early times, and are sixth and seventh.
Romain Grosjean now goes second, just 0.367s behind Raikkonen - but on a compound one step softer.
Stoffel Vandoorne briefly goes second, before Carlos Sainz Jr pinches it from him. The Renault is 0.7s off pacesetter Raikkonen.
Stopwatch
Raikkonen, running medium tyres, kicks things off with a 1m10.587s. Sirotkin, on softs, slots in a second slower.

Hartley posts his best time of FP1 on very worn softs. He remains in 18th place.

"Stroll just got in my way," Norris reports as they run side by side on the main straight.
Under five minutes left now, and it is indeed high-fuel runs for not just the frontrunners, but rather everyone.
Twitter
Verstappen, Vettel and Hamilton are all out on track now, but all three are on used supersofts, which suggests that it's a high-fuel run and we won't see any further improvements from them in FP1.
