    Piastri should be investigated for that restart.

  2. Time penalty for Tsunoda

    Lap 14/71

    Yuki Tsunoda has been handed a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision on the opening lap. His Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen, meanwhile, has picked off Franco Colapinto's Alpine for 14th place, which is now 13th, because he's passed Tsunoda.

  3. Verstappen passes Hamilton

    Mission complete for Max Verstappen as he swipes Lewis Hamilton's 15th place. Oliver Bearman is also making waves, overtaking the other Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson for sixth position.

  4. 'Russell a man on a mission'

    George Russell looks like a man on a mission, he's got past Liam Lawson and he's right on the tail of Isack Hadjar.

    If Russell plays his cards right he could be on for a podium.

    If the race ends like this with Lando Norris ahead of Oscar Piastri, the gap between them would be 16 points [in the drivers' championship].

  6. Russell overtakes Hadjar

    Lap 12/71

    George Russell clears the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and is now up to fourth place. Max Verstappen is trying to take advantage of Lewis Hamilton's floor damage. Can he get the Ferrari man this time? Not yet.

  7. Lap 11/71

    Max Verstappen is purple since bolting on those medium tyres and he's closing in on the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton. The Dutchman will have to wait another lap to make his move, though.

  8. 'Leclerc was an innocent party in all of that'

    Charles Leclerc was such an innocent party in all of that, he left tons of room on the outside of Turn One.

    He left enough room for the three cars to go through, but Kimi Antonelli was nowhere near Charles and squeezed Oscar Piastri massively.

  9. Lap 10/71

    Lewis Hamilton is down in 15th place and has the quicker Red Bull of Max Verstappen behind him.

    Lando Norris has the pressure of his title rival now on his rear wing and the Briton is keeping the gap to 1.6 seconds.

  10. Team radio - Mercedes to Antonelli

    "Kimi, we think the car is fine."

  11. We go again

    Lap 9/71

    VSC has been cleared and we're racing once again. Lando Norris leads McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, with Kimi Antonelli now running in third place.

    Isack Hadjar has gained a place to fourth and George Russell is up to fifth.

    Meanwhile, Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda have been noted for a first-lap incident.

    Kimi Antonelli made an absolute meal of that restart, it was exactly the same as what happened in the sprint race.

    A really late start from Lando Norris leaving it to the very last minute, so he should have really expected that.

  13. Team radio - Red Bull to Verstappen

    "You've picked up a right front tyre puncture, Max. That was the reason for the box."

  14. Virtual safety car ending

    Lap 8/71

    There's drama all over the track now. Max Verstappen is at the back of the field because of a puncture. The Dutchman dives into the pits from 13th and swaps over onto the medium tyre from the hard. VSC is ending; Gabriel Bortoleto and Charles Leclerc are out already.

  15. 'Bold and impressive from Piastri'

    That was bold from Oscar Piastri and very impressive, that was a win it or bin it situation and he's absolutely come out on top of that.

  16. Team radio - Piastri

    "He left me no space."

  17. Virtual safety car

    The incident took place at Turn One and Charles Leclerc was the innocent bystander - his wheel went flying and everything. Oscar Piastri says Kimi Antonelli left him no space when the pair came to blows.

    Gabriel Bortoleto and Lewis Hamilton love Brazil, but it's been disastrous for the both of them.

  19. Go! Go! Go!

    Lap 6/71

    Lando Norris makes the jump and we're racing again. But there's been contact at the front!

    Charles Leclerc has been hit and it looks like his race is done. Kimi Antonelli was also in the mix and is now third - Oscar Piastri seems to be the car that has caused this chain reaction because of a lock-up. The Australian is now running in second place behind his championship leader team-mate.

  20. Team radio - Hamilton to Ferrari

    Hamilton: "Is the floor okay?"

    Engineer: "Damage to the floor confirmed."

    Hamilton: "I've lost a lot of downforce. Rears not stable."
