F1 Italian GP Live Commentary and Updates - FP2

That's it for our live coverage today. We will be back tomorrow for FP3 and qualifying, where it seems we have an enthralling session ahead.

Find the full FP2 report below and we will catch you in the morning. Bye!

It looks like there's a four-way fight between teams for pole tomorrow, with Mercedes and Ferrari at least near McLaren and Red Bull.

Russell's soft-tyre run came right at the end, knocking Bottas into 11th.

Hamilton has been off at the della Roggia as well and has been noted for failing to follow instructions from the race director and rejoining in the proper place.

Alonso makes a similar error as Perez makes his own trip across an escape route at Turn 1.

Just under four minutes to go in FP2 and given there was a delay, there hasn't been too much running lost for the teams.

Red Bull was most impacted it has to be said, but the long runs don't look so bad for the team.

That's better from Hamilton as he posts a 1m25.1s. That's much more competitive on this plan compared to Mercedes' rivals.

Russell is doing a different long-run plan it seems, as he sets a 1m24.2s.

The McLarens are on 1m24.7s, Ferrari hovering on a 1m25 and Verstappen pretty close. Hamilton is the outlier some eight-tenths further back.

You have to go down to Colapinto in 16th to find the first driver outside a second of Hamilton's best time.

If that's what to expect for tomorrow, then we could have Zandvoort-esque surprises across qualifying.

Among all of this, Bottas is still in the top 10 on what has been a great day for the Finn in the Sauber.

Of those on softs, only Tsunoda has found improvement but goes just 15th. It's extremely tight around this lap though.

Perez must have had traffic because his final sector was poor - he ends up failing to improve on his medium-tyre run, some nine-tenths off the pace.

Ricciardo, Bottas, Albon, Perez, Colapinto, Gasly, Ocon, Zhou and Tsunoda are those on softs, the rest on mediums.

Ricciardo is seventh for RB and Bottas is yet to be bumped from the top 10, though Russell is on a long run and both Red Bulls are yet to set a competitive time.

Down the order, Colapinto has done a fine job. He is less than two-tenths behind Albon on the soft tyres, that's pretty impressive.

Verstappen couldn't complete his lap at a competitive pace, catching a slide at the final corner and keeping it out of the gravel.

That's some improvement from Hamilton, who is now 0.003s up in the field. Game on between the top four teams.

Leclerc shows Ferrari is just as strong on both tyres as he goes 0.154s off top, beaten by team-mate Sainz who is now third behind Norris and Hamilton...

Bottas splits Stroll and Magnussen to give Sauber hope of a fight this weekend, though Hulkenberg has gone fourth, within four-tenths of Norris.

Russell is on mediums for his first run out of the box of the day but is complaining about something "moving around in my cockpit".

More improvements as Stroll and Magnussen go sixth and seventh with their soft runs. But the majority of drivers are on track now.

Perez's lack of running is down to a precautionary gearbox change during the lunchbreak, but he looks ready to hit the track as Russell finally emerges.

The first laps on the red-walls are underway and it's Hamilton, Piastri and Norris that will give us the first read of where everyone is at.

Cars are back in the pits during a small lull, so we should begin to see some representative qualifying simulations soon.
