Yellow flag
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: We're 11 minutes into qualifying here, but the session has been neutralised by a full course yellow while Will Stevens' car is retrieved from inside of the final corner. He's guaranteed to be starting at the back, which is a big hit to his outside shot at fighting for the title.
Nigel Melker currently leads the session, ahead of Will Buller and Antonio Felix da Costa.

Green flag
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: We're green again, and that means all the drivers who bunched up under the yellow flags now have to scramble to find clear track. They'll be in for a second set of tyres soon, too.
MotoGP - Misano: MotoGP warm-up about to start. It's sunny at the Italian track. In case you missed it, here's yesterday's qualifying report.

Kajetan Kajetanowicz has been blisteringly quick through the opening two stages and has displaced Bryan Bouffier from the lead of the event.
The Frenchman reported a broken right-rear damper upon completion of the Uzranki test, so it will be interesting to see if that hampers his progress in the final stage of the morning.
Jan Kopecky has moved up to third, but his Skoda has developed a a broken propshaft which he is endeavouring to fix before Mateuszek kicks off at 10:06 local time (09:06 BST).
