    That's interesting because that's the second [Norris] of the two McLarens going in to pit first which potentially feels like an undercut, I'm sure they won't let that happen.

  2. Lap 46/70

    McLaren perform a 2.6-second stop for Lando Norris and scrubbed mediums go on. The Briton rejoins the fun in fourth place behind the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, who now moves up in to the final podium spot. Lance Stroll also heads in for change so Fernando Alonso moves his Aston Martin back into the top 10.

    Rachel T: Oscar leading, Lewis giving it everything, Max having a 70-lap tantrum and Ferrari still in it. Good times!

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Since Red Bull advantage was wiped by the improvements in the other cars, the racing seems to be exciting. The fighting going on between Verstappen and Hamilton is one of exciting moments.

    Things are looking good here for McLaren because their major contenders are somewhat fallen away and they have maintained their pace. Their biggest battle is going to be between eachother.

  5. Lap 45/70

    Sergio Perez and George Russell, who were given the boot in the first part of qualifying yesterday, are up in the points in seventh for Perez and eighth for Russell. Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda complete the top 10.

    The bat phone is ringing. It's McLaren for Lando Norris...

    It's going to be a big job to ask Charles Leclerc to get to the end of the race but certainly to get to the end of the race with the pace he needs to up against Hamilton.

  8. Lap 43/70

    The purple stopwatch is camped by Charles Leclerc's name on the leaderboard. The Monegasque driver is on the medium tyre and is sitting in sixth place with the aim of getting past Lewis Hamilton on the harder compound in fifth.

    If Verstappen pits now he would only just come out ahead of Leclerc and Leclerc would have more momentum and warmer tyres.

  10. Lap 42/70

    Oh dear. Max Verstappen is on the rampage and is bemoaning the undercut from Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. The three-time world champion is 11 seconds off race leader Oscar Piastri, who replays show had an earlier twitch in his McLaren, leading to his advantage being cut down.

    He [Verstappen] is not a happy bunny, he's not been happy all day.

  12. Lap 41/70

    Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have headed into the pits at the same time. The Mercedes driver goes onto the hards and comes out in fifth and Ferrari place Leclerc on medium and rejoins in sixth.

  13. Team radio - Norris

    Engineer: "Okay to race the papaya car, but only to the mid-forties."

  14. Marc Priestley

    McLaren are giving them license to go and race but the mid-forties is what he's suggesting, he wants to keep a lap time that is still going to look after the tyres so they can get to the end of the race.

  15. Team radio - Hamilton

    "It's a long way to go on that damn tyre."

  16. Lap 40/70

    Lewis Hamilton has called in to Mercedes to say his "damn tyres" have still got a lot of work to do in this race. Red Bull have picked up the phone to Max Verstappen but the Dutchman is not in the mood for chatting.

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

    This is great stuff isn't it, it's not since 2021 that we've seen battles like this from these two [Hamilton and Verstappen], they are all over each other.

    Leclerc is closing them both down very quickly to the point where Leclerc is now visibly behind Verstappen.

  18. Lap 39/70

    While Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton duke it out, Charles Leclerc has quietly crept on the pair from fifth place.

    Over at McLaren. Oscar Piastri's advantage is down to 1.2 seconds over team-mate Lando Norris.

  19. Alpine retires Gasly's car

    Harry Benjamin
    BBC F1 Commentator

    We've lost Pierre Gasly who was told to retire a couple of laps ago, going from poor to miserable for a race weekend.

  20. Lap 38/70

    Max Verstappen spies another chance with DRS at Turn Two. The Red Bull is getting closer and closer but still the Mercedes driver holds onto that third place with a kung fu grip.
