Here’s the full timesheets…

Practice starts on the grid now as the session comes to a close – and it’s Max Verstappen who’s once again quickest!

Fernando Alonso second, 0.208 seconds off top spot, with Sergio Perez third on another day of domination for Red Bull.

4-10: Ocon, Russell, Gasly, Strooll, Hulkenberg, Leclerc, Sainz.

11-20: Hamilton, Norris, Tsunoda, Albon, Magnussen, Zhou, De Vries, Sargeant, Piastri, Bottas.

Expect carnage in Q1 tomorrow!

Verstappen still top with that time, while Fernando Alonso remains in second and Sergio Perez in third. Esteban Ocon is something of a surprise name in fourth.

5-10: Russell, Gasly, Stroll, Hulkenberg, Leclerc, Sainz. Hamilton still 11th…

George Russell insists they need to “make some changes”. His engineer agrees. Verstappen, meanwhile, complaining about some downshifts, particularly in the last corner.

The double world champion fully on the limit…

All the field on softs now – and Max Verstappen still top, this time with a 1:29:603.

Fernando Alonso two-tenths further back in second, with Sergio Perez in third. George Russelll is fourth – half-a-second down (not too bad).

5-10: Stroll, Gasly, Hulkenberg, Ocon, Leclerc, Sainz.

Lewis Hamilton down in 11th currently!

Hamilton’s £40million-a-year contract with the Silver Arrows expires at the end of the season and his future is under the microscope following their poor start to 2023.

Hamilton was only fifth at the first round in Bahrain before he finished a distant sixth in opening practice on Friday for this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, 1.2 seconds adrift of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

Although team principal Wolff remains convinced that Hamilton, 38, will pen a new deal, he also said that his star driver’s head could be turned as he pursues a record eighth world championship.

“If Lewis wants to win another championship he needs to make sure he has the car,” said Wolff.

“And if we cannot demonstrate that we are able to give him a car in the next couple of years then he will need to look everywhere. I don’t think he is doing it at this stage, but I will have no complaints if that happens in a year or two.”

No change from FP1 at the top – Max Verstappen was pushing like mad on his medium-tyre run and goes three-tenths faster than Sergio Perez in second.

Fernando Alonso is third for Aston Martin, six-tenths down.

Charles Leclerc not happy with Nico Hulkenberg blocking him around the banked corner – and Verstappen is complaining about his headrest!

4-10: Gasly, Ocon, Albon, Leclerc, Stroll, Hamilton, Sainz.

With the floodlights now shining down on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, we’re underway with the second practice session in Saudi Arabia!

Can anyone, possibly, knock Max Verstappen off his top-of-the-table perch? Maybe it’ll be his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez? Or how about Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso?

Mercedes making a late setup change to George Russell’s car as he leaves the pit lane…

Lewis Hamilton has announced that his time working with performance coach Angela Cullen has come to an end.

The seven-time world champion has worked with physiotherapist Cullen for the last seven years, with the New Zealander by the Mercedes star’s side around the world as an integral part of his support team.

Cullen, 48, joined Hamilton’s team in 2016 and has been by his side for four of his seven world championships.

Yet suspicions were raised on Friday morning as Hamilton did not arrive in the paddock in Saudi Arabia with Cullen by his side, before the 38-year-old himself confirmed the news on Instagram.

In an emotional post, he said: “For the last seven years Angela Cullen has been by my side, pushing me to be the best version of myself. I am a stronger athlete and a better person because of her.

“So today I hope you’ll join me in wishing her the very best as she takes her next steps to pursue her dreams. Thank you for everything Ang, I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you.”
