  1. Lap 28/62

    Aston Martin also make a bit of a hash of their pit stop and Fernando Alonso has to twiddle his thumbs and wait to be released. The Spaniard is out of the top 10 and in 15th place.

  2. Slow stop for Piastri

    Lap 27/62

    And here comes the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri. Should be a quick stop for the championship leader. Wait a minute, there's an issue! The Australian is stopped for longer than he would've liked and he heads into battle in fourth place behind Lando Norris. The left rear didn't want to play ball.

    'Box, box."

  4. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    Engineer: "Lando, the gap to Oscar is 4.7. He is going to have to pit soon to cover Leclerc. Are you willing to let Oscar pit the lap before you?"

    Norris: "Yes. No, I wouldn't."

  5. Norris comes in to pit

    Lap 27/62

    McLaren have just delivered a long radio message to Lando Norris about when to pit. There's a lot to think about for the man sitting in second place in the title race, but he heads in and takes the hard tyre anyway. Out he comes in fourth place, making Oscar Piastri the defacto leader.

  6. 'Russell doing a solid job'

    There should be no concern for George Russell at this stage, he's building himself up a gap over Lando Norris.

    Even if Norris comes towards him a little bit, the Mercedes going into this weekend wasn't supposed to have great tyre longevity in comparison to the McLaren. Russell is doing a solid job.

  7. Mercedes call in Russell

    Lap 26/62

    Mercedes have given the signal to George Russell to pit, so the Briton dives in with his 10-second gap and picks up the hard tyres on lap 26. He rejoins the track and is now in third place.

  8. Hamilton pits

    Lap 25/62

    The next to come in for a changeover is Lewis Hamilton, who now takes on a set of hard tyres after a slightly slow stop and the seven-time world champion is back out in ninth place, with Nico Hulkenberg his first target to overtake.

  9. Team radio - Mercedes to Russell

    Engineer: "I know you've got those gaps and you are trying as hard as you can. Norris was 36.7."

    Russell: "Yeah, this is my pace. My tyres are dropping."

  10. Lap 24/62

    Over at Mercedes, leader George Russell is being kept up to date with how the rest of the field is getting on. But the Briton replies his medium tyres can't hold out much longer, telling his engineer they're starting to drop off.

  11. Team radio - Red Bull to Verstappen

    Engineer: "Free to push now."

    Verstappen: "I'll try, mate. But everything is working against me in this race."

  12. Lap 23/62

    Max Verstappen has pitted already and is now banking the quickest laps of the race on his hard rubber. He needs to look after his tyres, however, as there's a long way to go in this race. The Dutchman is making his way up the order and is now sixth.

    Max Verstappen is already putting in massive sector times, he's purple in sector two and three.

    That is working really nicely for him, that is going to force McLaren to go long with both of those drivers.

  14. Leclerc comes into the pits

    Lap 22/62

    Lewis Hamilton is being chased down by Max Verstappen while his team-mate Charles Leclerc heads in for fresh rubber. The Monegasque man comes out behind the Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg, but he soon passes the German for ninth place. Leclerc has taken on a set of hard tyres.

  15. Lap 21/62

    Max Verstappen picks up the pace as he now sits in seventh place behind the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton, who is having a quiet race in Singapore. Lando Norris moves up to second and is 10 seconds off the Mercedes of George Russell.

    Mercedes are finding themselves in control of this race win here.

  17. Team radio - Red Bull to Verstappen

    "Out lap critical, let's get on with it."

  18. Verstappen pits

    Lap 20/62

    Red Bull are standing by for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman comes in, dumps his starting soft tyres and switches them for a set of hards. He rejoins the action and is told by his engineer the out lap is "critical".

  19. Lap 19/62

    Oscar Piastri is leading the championship by 25 points from Lando Norris and after his frustrations with how the race start panned out, the Australian is keeping his nose close in fourth, trying to edge closer to his main title rival.

    Red Bull are getting ready...

    I wonder what is going on with the [McLaren] strategists there. What are they thinking, why change their mind at this stage?

    Are they thinking of going long? Are they thinking just one or two laps on this tyre? It's fascinating.
