  1. Lap 37/70

    Ding Ding! Let's go again between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes is dodging any potential attacks from the Red Bull and that final podium place is still in the Briton's hands.

    Lando Norris has just dramatically closed in to his team-mate [Piastri]. Norris is the faster driver now out on the circuit.

  3. 'An uncharacteristic mistake there from Verstappen'

    Verstappen runs wide, can't keep it on the road the Dutchman. Hamilton holds onto the position. An uncharacteristic mistake there from Verstappen.

  4. Lap 36/70

    It's fair to say Max Verstappen is not happy with the upgraded Red Bull today. His pit wall have just received another angry message from the Dutchman after that battle with Lewis Hamilton.

    Verstappen stays in fourth and is out of the DRS range to challenge Hamilton again.

    I know the Red Bull in DRS is effective but the DRS around here has a minimal effect.

  6. Hamilton stays in third

    Lap 35/70

    Max Verstappen sees his chance at Turn One and pulls up alongside the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. The Dutchman passes at Turn Two but he can't keep hold of the place as he runs wide! The Dutchman suffered a slight lock-up as he tried to gain on Hamilton.

  7. Lap 34/70

    Here comes the pressure from Max Verstappen in fourth. Third-placed Lewis Hamilton is ahead at Turn Five and is continuing to keep the Red Bull at bay as the pair complete their latest lap.

    Charles Leclerc is doing fastest lap after fastest lap on that hard tyre.

  9. Lap 33/70

    Welcome to the points, Sergio Perez. The Mexican is up into 10th place after passing the RB of Yuki Tsunoda.

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

    Hamilton is struggling and Verstappen now down to 1.5 seconds, Verstappen is going to close up behind Hamilton and get DRS at some point.

  11. Lap 32/70

    Max Verstappen is just over a second behind Lewis Hamilton in third and the Red Bull man is gaining on the Mercedes. If the seven-time world champion looks in his mirrors, he'll see another multiple champ getting very close...

    At the front end it's a status quo between the top three, they've all got about four seconds between them.

  13. Lap 31/70

    Oscar Piastri, getting closer and closer to his maiden F1 victory (although has won a sprint race in Qatar in 2021), holds a 4.4-second advantage over McLaren team-mate Lando Norris. Lewis Hamilton is sitting in the final podium lace in third spot.

    Sergio Perez is on the charge and overtakes Kevin Magnussen for P11.

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

    Sergio Perez has got a lot of work to do, he's on the medium tyre, those around him are on the hard tyre. He will have the opportunity to overtake but that uses up your tyre life very quickly.

    Alex Albon is not liking the switch of strategy calling it '"to indecisive".

  18. Lap 28/70

    Sorry, Nico. Move aside. Lance Stroll overtake the Haas of Hulkenberg for 12th spot on his medium rubber.

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

    Out front McLaren are doing a sterling job because right behind them they've got Lewis Hamilton who is not posing enough of a threat.

    McLaren have the race in their control, they can dictate the pace, they look look after the tyres and manage their performance because there is no-one fast enough down their neck that is going to cause them any trouble.

  20. Lap 27/70

    Nico Hulkenberg locks up and is overtaken by Fernando Alonco, who has been trying to pass the German for a few laps. Lance Stroll now tries his luck at taking a chunk out of Hulkenberg but the Haas driver stays ahead.

    Alonso is is P11, the Hulk is P12 and Stroll stays in 13th place.
