Championship leader Hamilton had a clean se♋ssion en route to P2 for Mercedes, but the same could not be said of his title rival Vettel, who lo🅰st his Hypersoft run following a mistake at Turn 21.
Vettel had been set to lap close to Raikkonen and Hamilton’s times, only to run wide and hit the wall with the right-hand side of his car, forcing the German to immediatel෴y dive into the pits.
While there was no major damage sustained, Vettel’s car did leak red liquid in the Ferrari pit box as it was wheeled back into the garage. Vettel immediately out of the car and went to the back of the garage, his session ending with just 12 laps to his name and only th🌌e ninth-fastest time.
Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo𝓡 finished the session third and fourth respectively, but neither could get within half a second of Raikkonen’s time at the front of the pack.
Valtteri Bottas finished fifth in the sec🥃ond Mercedes, six-tenths back from teammate Ha🦩milton, with the Finn struggling to keep his Hypersoft tyres alive for a second flying lap.
Car🤡los Sainz Jr. was the leading midfield driver in sixth place for Renault, edging out Haas’ Romain Grosjean by one-tenth of ♊a second.
Fernando Alonso led McLaren into the tไop 10, taking P8 overall after narrowly dodging a collision with Marcus Ericsson when the Sauber driver spun in front of him on the racing line late in the session🎐.
Nico Hul🍌kenberg completed the top 10 for Renault behind Vettel, with Force India drivers Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon following in 11th and 13th, spl🐎it by Ericsson.

Toro Rosso had a difficult session as drivers Brendon Hartley and 𒉰Pierre Gaꦰsly finished 17th and 18th respectively, while the Williams pair of Lance Stroll and Sergey Sirotkin propped up the timesheets behind.
