A good day for both Aston Martin drivers, but a difficult one for Verstappen. How will it play out over the rest of the weekend?

But this session has been very useful for the drivers to learn the resurfaced track and how it changes in the differing conditions - we've had it all today!

Into the closing stages and it is nowhere near dry enough to challenge the best lap times, so Alonso's leading effort is safe for this session.

The track is drying out again, not enough for slick tyres yet, but are very close to the crossover point.

Leclerc slides into a 180-degree spin at the hairpin but he styles it out by turning it into a doughnut to get himself facing the right way again. He's a Monaco GP winner now, he can do stuff like that.

Plenty of track action once again, with everyone on the intermediates. Meanwhile, Norris has been put under investigation for failing to take to the escape road at the final corner from earlier in the session.

Ocon, who missed the earlier wet running with Doohan in his car on FP1 rookie duties, is joined by Alonso, Stroll and Norris who are all on intermediate tyres.

Right on cue, Ocon heads out on the intermediates to test out conditions. It is definitely wet again - not as bad as the start of FP1, but it is drifting towards that way.

Everyone is still in the garages, hoping for this rain to pass, in order to use the final 20 minutes for some high fuel running.

The Red Bull mechanics have got the dentist drill out on Verstappen's car and get to work underneath the sidepod.

While Verstappen isn't missing much due to the rain, it looks like his session is over. He's left the Red Bull garage and the car is up on the jacks with investigations ongoing on his engine.

Verstappen is still stuck in the garage as Red Bull gets to work trying to fix the issue with his F1 car. The Dutch driver has completed just four laps in this session and is losing out on the long run data.

For the second time in this session Hamilton gets baulked by a Ferrari driver going into the final chicane. Does Ferrari just need to make bigger mirrors?

Verstappen pits with a smoking Red Bull and he has to take care getting out of the car, with the mechanics avoiding touching the car in case there is an electrical issue.

Hamilton has to check up going into the final chicane for a slow-moving Sainz, but a replay shows the Ferrari trying to avoid a groundhog! That'd be an interesting excuse if it got to the stewards, but thankfully the little furry creature escapes unscathed.

Magnussen catches a slide into Turn 8 and then practically everyone runs on at the hairpin as the rain gets heavier. DRS has been disabled and low grip conditions have been declared.

Gasly remains on top with a 1m20.789s - one-tenth up on nearest challenger Russell. But every driver is trying to gauge conditions to avoid overdoing it in the slippery parts of the track and wrecking their sessions.

Zhou dives back into the pits as he reports it is too dry for inters. This is turning into an odd session, a wet track only suitable for dry tyres.

The Leclerc tyre investigation might be about him going out on the track on intermediate tyres before the track was declared wet - which isn't allowed. It has just been declared wet, meaning drivers can go out on whatever tyre compound they wish.

Leclerc has nipped out on the intermediate tyres but has been noted for "tyre usage" - and will be investigated after the session. Has Ferrari put on a mixed set of tyres?

Eight drivers are on track early, all on softs apart from Sainz who is on mediums - but not for long as he says "it is too wet for the medium".

Verstappen heads an F1 car train at the end of pitlane waiting for the start of the session. Canadian rush hour trying to avoid the rain.
