Spain's Alex Palou extended his lead at the top of the leaderboard as he held on for victory against Sweden's Marcus Ericsson.
There was also a terrifying crash as rookie Robert Shwartzman ploughed into his own team 'like a bowling ball' in the pit lane.
But back at Sky Sports, where chiefs have just axed The Football Show, there was an equally tense moment in the studio.
Presenter Tom Gaymor was among those affected when a fire alarm sounded.

And Sky Sports was forced to cut the coverage early as a result.
But Gaymor assued fans that all was OK on social media.
He declared: 'I hope you all enjoyed that as much as we did.

The incident came several months after Sky Sports' NFL studio was forced to evacuate due to a fire alarm in the middle of a playoff game.
The moment occurred in the clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens.
Stadium clips had to be played as the studio went unmanned, with host Neil Reynolds revealing: 'Fire alarm. Had to leave building for now.
'Hope to be back with you soon. Never a dull moment in the playoffs.'
After returning to the screen, Reynolds later joked: 'We're not letting no fire alarm beat us.'

Scotland fans call out Steve Clarke over ‘baffling' team selection decision against Iceland
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTLAND fans were crying out for a new-look team to face Iceland in tonight's friendly clash. But Steve Clarke stuck by his guns and went for the tried and tested at the national stadium, with just Max Johnston and George Hirst making their first starts for Scotland. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Steve Clarke before kick-off at Hampden Credit: PA Clarke, 61, clearly has his eyes on the World Cup qualifiers in September as he named a familiar side to face Arnar Gunnlaugsson's men. Unsurprisingly Kieran Tierney, who is back to full fitness, returned to the manager's starting side - making his 50th appearance for the national team in the process. Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay are both in action once again - just weeks after their Serie A triumph with Napoli. Fellow Serie A star Lewis Ferguson joined them in midfield along with John McGinn to make up the midfield four. Clarke went for his familiar five at the back tonight, and it's one of his decisions in defence that has raised some eyebrows. Grant Hanley, who recently joined Birmingham, is back in the lineup once again at centre-back alongside Tierney and Rangers defender John Souttar. It's the 33-year-old's 62nd cap for the national team. But despite being a regular in the squad, many fans are furious by the fact the veteran has been selected once again. Many have slammed the "baffling" decision to give him the nod in a friendly. Taking to social media platform X, one fan wrote: "Baffles me how Hanley still gets called ups 🤦." Another agreed: "Baffling not having a young centre half playing." Someone else said: "An absolute pointless friendly and he still plays Hanley." A fourth laughed: "Grant Hanley will still be starting for us in 2045." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Tonight's EuroMillions jackpot is an estimated £208 million, after no player scooped Tuesday's top prize.

You can find out by checking your ticket against tonight's numbers below. Tonight's EuroMillions winning numbers are: 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars are: 02, 12.

An anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million on July 19 2022. Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10 2022. Gareth Bull, a 49-year-old builder, won £41million in November, 2020 and ended up knocking down his bungalow to make way for a luxury manor house with a pool. Sue Davies, 64, bought a lottery ticket to celebrate ending five months of shielding during the pandemic — and won £500,000. Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300k - she intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard, but came home with a much bigger prize.

The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be about one in 14million - BUT you've got to be in it to win it. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn said: "We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen - making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery's biggest wins list."
