As it turned out, it was part of Nyck de Vries’ engine cover which had fallen off, the FIA heading down to the AlphaTauri garage in pursuit of an explanation, while Perez’s latest attempt at a flying lap ended with a trip over the gravel at Turn 3 as the track went green again. And as the session ticked past halfway there was another obstruction for all in the form of a red flag with debris on the track at Turn 9, someone seemingly having given the wall a major whack.

It was not only the weather which restricted running yesterday though, as a GPS issue in the opening session only added to the losses. No rain around this time for the drivers, at first anyway, meaning it was a busy track from the very start in FP3 as the teams and drivers made up for Friday’s lost time.

“I did a long run in FP3, so I had a bit of a read on the tyres. “I guess it’s a good thing. I think that has been a bit the story again the whole week.
