That Renault is working rather well on mediums, but one wonders if they'll pop Ricciardo out on softs. The Red Bulls may follow suit - we can but see.
Lots of chat about tyres, but it's mixed things up a bit - obviously, behind you-know-who locking out the front row.
The next set of runs begins. Red Bulls on softs, Mercs and Ricciardo out on mediums.
Norris clears Gasly at Copse to try and give himself some breathing space.
The Mercs will set the first pair of laps in this stage of the session...

That's Bottas! Bottas does a 1m25.154s to go faster than Hamilton!
That's surely pole for Bottas by 0.1s!
Hulkenberg fires his way up to P3! Verstappen tries to go quicker, but can't beat the Racing Point!
Ricciardo couldn't go any faster, and had to be content with P5.

Quote
Bottas: "Mentally, when you're starting on pole, you can only aim to win the race. And the starting point is good."
Quote
Hamilton: "It wasn't that great! But Valtteri did a great job and deserves pole. I don't think many people will be managing the softer compound [tomorrow]..."
Quote
Hulkenberg: "Crazy last week! Q2 was tricky, made life hard for myself. It's definitely going to hurt tomorrow, not having last week's experience and going through the motions."
