    Ollie Beaman in the Haas is on course for his maiden podium in his debut full season in Formula 1.

  3. Oliver Bearman is continuing to do really well here in third. He is lapping similar times to George Russell, who is trying to catch him.

  4. Team radio - Albon

    "Just ask the other car what is their balance right now. I don't understand what's going on."

    I just don't understand that question [from McLaren to Norris] unless they were going to make another stop, but then I don't understand why they would make another stop.

  6. Lando Norris will be thankful of Mercedes at the moment as Oscar Piastri is sixth but will retain his place at the top of the drivers standings' if he can climb two more places.

  8. Team radio - Norris

    Engineer: "Lando, to help the other side. How much do you prefer the soft tyre over the medium? A little bit or a lot?"

    Norris: "I mean it doesn't feel too bad now, but I still think the soft."

  9. George Russell uses the pace he has to move over two seconds clear of Kimi Antonelli, who is now switching focus to keeping Oscar Piastri at bay.

    That could have been much better orchestrated from Mercedes, that is about three or four laps too late.

  11. Now the call is made and Kimi Antonelli relinquishes fourth to team-mate George Russell. Antonelli then moves over to defend Russell from an attempt by Oscar Piastri to take advantage of the situation.

  12. Drivers' standings - as things stand

    Norris 357

    Piastri 354

    Verstappen 310

  13. Team radio - Russell

    "I'm trying to hold position. I've got much more pace than Kimi here. We can fight for a podium. I'm happy to give the position back if we don't achieve it.

    "Ohh, great."

  14. 'It's quite amazing that Mercedes haven't made this switch'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Right now Kimi Antonelli is Ollie Bearman's best friend, he's holding George Russell up.

    Russell will be so frustrated with the way this race has panned out for him. It's quite amazing that Mercedes haven't made this switch.

  15. George Russell is getting very, very, VERY frustrated, desperate to be given the chance to race Oliver Bearman.

  16. Lando Norris clocks the fastest lap of the race but he remains very comfortable out in front with a 17-second lead over Charles Leclerc.

    Max Verstappen is going to have to charge because that has dropped him way down the order, he's down in eighth place behind Lewis Hamilton.

  19. Max Verstappen is down into eighth after his first stop but he's on the softs now with those ahead of him on mediums.

  20. Team radio - Russell

    "I'm happy to give the position back to Kimi if I can't overtake Bearman. We're just compromising both our races. I've got much more pace here guys."
