A perfect way for Daniel Ricciardo to start his pursuit of a second win of the season as he finished fastest in both practice sessions.
Plenty for his rivals to ponder, however, with Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel having low key and, at times, scrappy sessions. Keeping their cards close to their chest? Most probably.
The picture, as ever, will become clearer tomorrow. Join us for build up to final practice from 09:30 BST.

Lewis Hamilton slides off the track right at the end, but manages to avoid it turning into anything big than a little wobble. He finishes the session fifth quickest.

A minute to go and, unsurprisingly, no improvements from the front runners.
Kevin Magnussen, who got out late into the session, is improving though. He's up to 17th after a 1:21.345.

A problem for Felipe Massa. He reports a gearbox issue and is heading back to base. Looks like that's the end of his session.
Every other car apart from the retired ones are out on the track to squeeze in some laps in the final four minutes.

"What is Vettel doing!? Honestly," says Romain Grosjean.
The Frenchman feels he was blocked by Sebastian Vettel.
Not a happy chap at all today.
Go! Go! Go!
Jolyon Palmer is sporting a face like absolute thunder as he walks down the pit lane back to the Renault garage.

Red flag
Oh no!
Jolyon Palmer has gone off at the final corner and hit the barrier side on, wrecking the right rear of his Renault.
"Car OK, Jolyon?" the Briton is asked.
"No," is the reply.

I do hope there are no issues because McLaren have looked competitive, certainly relative to their pace this season.

Uh oh. Problem for McLaren? Stoffel Vandoorne is creeping back to the pits after being told to box.
