  1. Lap 32/52

    The rain has eased off now and there is a patch of blue sky over Vale. Meanwhile, the message from Lewis Hamilton is not good. Those intermediate tyres? They're toast.

    This is where a driver's skill is tested to the absolute limit.

    It's not quite wet enough for the inter but it's definitely too wet for the slick, these conditions are so difficult.

    Verstappen: "Tyres are degrading a lot"

  5. Lap 31/52

    Lando Norris is leading Lewis Hamilton by over three seconds, as Max Verstappen tells his pit wall his intermediate tyres are "degrading a lot". Meanwhile, Nico Hulkenberg is still in the mix for points in ninth place.

  6. 'That Red Bull is not on its A game'

    Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent at Silverstone

    Max Verstappen is still not quick, he wasn't quick in the first stint in the dry, he's now on the inters, but he's lapping a second a lap slower than Norris, Hamilton and Russell around him which is a real surprise. That Red Bull is just not on its A game.

    If anybody loves mixed conditions, if anybody loves a bit of wet weather racing, it's the seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton.

    While all this has been going on, Max Verstappen by pitting a lap earlier than Hamilton and Russell has got in-between the pair of them.

  10. 'It's Hammertime'

    Lap 29/52

    Max Verstappen is told it was a great call for the inters and he is now "back in this race". Oscar Piastri is into the pits after coming in a lap later than Lando Norris and the Australian rejoins the track behind the Ferrari of Carlo Sainz in P6.

    A message for Lewis Hamilton: "It's Hammertime".

    Rimal: "I think Leclerc did a deal for a Monaco win in exchange for terrible luck for rest of the season."

  12. Lap 28/52

    Mercedes have called both Mercedes cars in as McLaren switch Lando Norris onto the intermediates. In fact, it's green rubber for all!

    Oscar Piastri, who stayed out, is now leading the British Grand Prix ahead of Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton.

    Max Verstappen is fourth and George Russell has come out in fifth spot.

  13. Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Mercedes are going to double-stack and Lando is the only McLaren to pit, so this is really not worked in the favour for Oscar Piastri.

  14. Lap 27/52

    Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz have been called into the pits to change over to the intermediate tyres. The Dutchman rejoins in fifth and the Spaniard in sixth.

    When are the top four going to head in? Oscar Piastri stays out. Lando Norris is in!

    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We are seeing Oscar Piastri now absolutely hounding Lando Norris for the lead of this race.

  16. Lap 26/52

    The McLaren phone is ringing and it's Oscar Piastri is on the other end. The Australian is making the tough decisions and says it's "too early for inters".

    Lando Norris, meanwhile, only has to look in his mirrors to spy Piastri hunting him down...

    That is two races in a row for Charles Leclerc where his race has effectively been done by half-way distance.

  18. Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    [Rain] is coming down on the pit-straight, rain is happening. So when do the leaders actually decide to pit, they are almost on an exploratory lap deciding if it's too early or what the right time is.

  19. Lap 25/52

    Kevin Magnussen has managed to pass Logan Sargeant's Williams at Stowe for 12th place, while at the front of the field, Lando Norris holds a 1.6-second advantage over McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.

    Charles Leclerc is still on the green intermediates and like Austria last weekend, the Ferrari has been lapped. Ouch.
