  1. The closest battle on the track right now is between George Russell and Oscar Piastri. The McLaren is within seven tenths of the Mercedes.

    Lando Norris is a whole first sector ahead of Charles Leclerc now.

  3. Carlos Sainz heads into the pits to serve his drive through penalty for speeding in the pits.

  4. George Russell isn't closing in on Ollie Bearman and now might have to start thinking about Oscar Piastri again behind him. The gap between the two is just under a second.

    The atmosphere at the track is electric, but there's not a lot of love for Lando. I expect a few boos on the podium...

  6. Not much more to say about Lando Norris. He continues to be very, very comfortable out in front with a 26-second advantage.

  7. Ollie Bearman is hanging onto fourth at the moment. George Russell did get to within half a second but the gap has just increased to 1.1s.

    Panic from Haas, they've just relegated Bearman to finish 4th at best.

    I feel like Haas have just thrown away the podium there - 15 seconds is a very tough ask to catch.

  9. Team radio - Albon

    Engineer: "Instruction - we will switch the cars at turn one."

    Albon: "This might be the worst strategy I've ever..."

  10. 'Really entertaining race'

    It has been a quality race so far, really entertaining. Every single lap it looks like it's swinging and changing and different things happening. It's absolutely superb.

  11. Team radio - Leclerc

    Leclerc: "This is my pace for info."

    Engineer: "Fine, we are staying out until the end."

  12. George Russell is the fastest man on the track now and just a second behind Ollie Bearman.

  13. Twenty laps to go and Max Verstappen is up to third after that flurry of second stops from some of those ahead of him.

    Lando Norris, meanwhile, leads the race by 23 seconds.

    That is good racing there between Esteban Ocon and Oscar Piastri. It looked like they were going to come to blows, but thankfully Piastri has kept his front-wing in check.

    Max Verstappen is up to third and he looks like he's only going to be doing a one-stop.

  15. Oscar Piastri is looking good on the fresh rubber and he swoops past Esteban Ocon and he is into sixth!

    It has worked really nicely for McLaren. Now if Oscar Piastri can put in a couple of lightning laps, could he jump George Russell if Russell is to pit as well?

  17. George Russell has been struggling to catch Ollie Bearman and he heads into the pits.

    Bearman then follows suit and comes back out ahead of Russell!

  18. Now both Kimi Antonelli AND Oscar Piastri pit. It has to be a quick stop for Piastri to get the jump on Antonelli, and it is! He's back out ahead of the Mercedes and on softs.

    Lewis Hamilton has also pitted for softs.

    I thought George had a load more pace? He’s falling further behind than Kimi ever was. Poor management from the team!

  20. The McLaren crew come out in the pit lane. Is Oscar Piastri going to go in? No, he stays out and pushes to try and get past Kimi Antonelli, but he can't make the move happen.

    Meanwhile, Max Verstappen comfortably gets past Lewis Hamilton and he is into seventh with Piastri ahead of him.
