  1. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    "So, Lando the hard does not look good, the soft probably similar to yesterday. That's based off Antonelli, who's pitted off it."

  2. Lap 25/71

    Kimi Antonelli has made his first pit stop and the Italian is now in eighth place, chasing down the 44-year-old Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin, running 25-lap old hard tyres. Max Verstappen, meanwhile, continues to be the fastest man on track.

    This has really helped out Max Verstappen because he's got clear air now, so he can use that medium tyre.

    That's really going to help him make that margin so when he does box, he doesn't come out as far behind.

  4. Lap 24/71

    Lewis Hamilton said he couldn't do anything from P13 and now the seven-time world champion is sliding around on his medium tyres at the back of the field.

    Out in front. Lando Norris is five seconds clear of Oscar Piastri and 11 seconds free of the Mercedes of George Russell in third.

  5. Team radio - McLaren to Piastri

    "Oscar, we have a 10-second penalty for the safety car restart at Turn One. The best opportunity is plan C, and you need to get to your target lap with good pace. Your pace looks good. We can still make this work."

  6. Lap 23/71

    Turn One sees another overtake as Carlos Sainz cruises through on Esteban Ocon. It's 17th now for the Frenchman, 16th for the Spaniard.

  7. Lap 22/71

    Pierre Gasly swipes former Alpine team-mate Esteban Ocon's place on track and the Frenchman is now up to 14th place. His new Alpine team-mate, Franco Colapinto, has climbed into the top 10 in ninth.

  8. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    "Lando, from our side, we are thinking it's more like plan B, plan B possibly even plan D."

  9. Lap 21/71

    Norris leads PiastriGetty Images

    Out in front, Lando Norris is four seconds clear of his team-mate Oscar Piastri, who has a 10-second penalty. His engineer is on the phone to talk about strategy.

  10. Verstappen up to fifth

    Lap 20/71

    Max Verstappen has pitted, so with his fresh rubber, he's flying up the field and into the top 10. The defending world champion makes the move on Alex Albon and now he's running in fifth place.

    There is no denying that Oscar Piastri locked up and I understand that [the stewards] have deemed it that he wasn't in control, but he's done that in an instinct reaction to Kimi Antonelli beginning to go towards the apex.

    There definitely wasn't a car width by the apex and I think that's a harsh penalty.

  12. 'Piastri is such a lucky boy there'

    A 10-second penalty for ending a race and nearly ending another race is pathetic. The FIA should throw the drive-through or the stop-and-go penalties to show drivers that a move like that should never be possible. Piastri is such a lucky boy there.

  13. Top five

    Lap 19/71

    1. Lando Norris (McLaren)

    2. Oscar Piastri (McLaren, 10-second time penalty)

    3. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)

    3. George Russel (Mercedes)

    5. Alex Albon (Williams)

  14. Lap 18/71

    Max Verstappen is charging through the field after his pit lane start and is now up to ninth. He's now gained a few places to seventh, as Pierre Gasly and Isack Hadjar come in to pit. Mediums for the Alpine and Racing Bulls drivers.

  15. 'That's way too harsh of a penalty'

    Abbi Pulling

    I think that's absurd, that's way too harsh of a penalty [for Oscar Piastri].

    If you want him to go racing, then let's just squeeze everyone on the inside and turn in. I don't agree with that and I'm quite gutted because now we're not going to see that fight for the lead.

    The Racing Bulls' cars are holding up a massive train from Isack Hadjar in fifth all the way back to Yuki Tsunoda in 13th.

    There is less than a second between all those cars, so as usual we're seeing the Racing Bulls' qualify well but then struggle for race pace.

  17. Lap 17/11

    So, Oscar Piastri is now carrying a passenger through this Sao Paulo Grand Prix in the shape of a 10-second time penalty. Carlos Sainz was noted for his contact with Lewis Hamilton but the stewards have decided no further investigation is needed.

  18. Team radio - Hamilton

    "Mate, I'm going to crash out here. I'll keep trying but the car is crazy unstable."

  19. Ten-second time penalty for Piastri
    Breaking

    Lap 16/71

    Oscar Piastri has been handed a 10-second time penalty for that tussle with Kimi Antonelli and Charles Leclerc a few laps earlier.

  20. Lap 15/71

    Ferrari have called in Lewis Hamilton, as the Italian team don't want to end up with both cars retiring from this race. Hamilton is in and out with medium tyres bolted on and is dead last.

    Oscar Piastri is now under investigation for causing a collision. Is he about to get punished?
