  1. Lap 56/70

    The Red Bull of Max Verstappen has yet to pounce on the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. The Dutchman has tried a few times to hustle the Monegasque around Turn One but so far, no dice.

  2. Team radio - Verstappen

    Verstappen: "You guys gave me the **** stratergy, I'm trying to rescue what is left."

  3. Lap 55/70

    So apparently, Max Verstappen was up until three in the morning competing in a sim race. We'd all be cranky after an all-nighter. McLaren and Lando Norris are discussing their current situation over the radio. Norris is thinking about the bigger picture - the drivers' championship.

    Verstappen continues to be troubled out there on track. This is probably one of the most frustrated races we've seen him be.

    Jamie Brilley: This could be the decision that makes Piastri, who in my opinion is better than Norris, leave McLaren

  6. Lap 54/70

    Classic team radio. The bleep machine is working overtime as Max Verstappen fumes on the radio about Red Bull's strategy. The Dutchman is chasing down Charles Leclerc with intent for fourth place.

    There is a lot of racing still to come, Piastri is now going very quickly, he is taking time out of Lando Norris lap after lap.

  8. Lap 52/70

    The fastest lap is now with Max Verstappen, who is sitting in fifth place, and is pushing hard in his Red Bull on medium tyres to catch the cars in front.

    Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    He's [Piastri] has got to catch his team-mate [Norris] and then they can make the switch. They can't expect Lando to just park it and wait for Piastri to catch up.

  10. Lap 51/70

    The gap between the two McLarens now in three-and-a-half seconds and second-placed Oscar Piastri is being reassured on the radio that Lando Norris will swap positions, but the team do want to avoid Norris losing a lot of race time.

    This is going to be a battle right to the end which I feel McLaren have brought upon themselves.

  12. Team radio - Norris

    Engineer: "Oscar's just pitted, he'd likely come behind you. We'd like to re-establish the order at your convenience."

  13. Lap 50/70

    Lando Norris goes to the head of the field with his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, who has led the majority of this race, in second spot.

    Max Verstappen is placed on the medium tyre and is now in fifth spot behind fourth-placed Charles Leclerc. Lewis Hamilton now finds himself back in the podium spots.

  14. Marc Priestley
    Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Neither driver is going to end up happy here, Piastri is going to be miffed that he's been undercut and Lando is not going to not necessarily want to give the place back.

  15. Lap 49/70

    Lando Norris is 84 points behind Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship, so a race win for the Briton would be greatly welcomed.

    Max Verstappen is into the pits...

    That is going to ruffle Oscar Piastri's feathers!

  17. Marc Priestley
    Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Everybody generally now is in tyre preservation mode in this stint, they are trying to get to the optimum lap to get their final stop.

  18. Lap 48/70

    Job done for McLaren and Oscar Piastri comes back out in third place behind Lando Norris in second and new race leader Max Verstappen. The two papaya cars are on the medium tyres.

  19. Marc Priestley
    Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The problem McLaren are going to have now is Lando Norris who just put in a blistering fast lap on those fresh mediums, he's now going to go very quickly which will put Piastri under pressure.

  20. Lap 47/70

    Race leader Oscar Piastri is nine seconds ahead of Max Verstappen in second place and McLaren are deciding when to bring the Australian in. No time like the present. Get yourself in, Oscar.

    It's a 2.9-second stop for the Australian.
