    This chaos weekend has taken another turn before we've even had a second of racing today.

  2. Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent

    If Norris has gone and there's been a yellow light, Red Bull are definitely going to protest.

  3. Norris now under investigation

    And now Lando Norris is under investigation for that starting procedure infringement. This weekend has been bonkers.

  4. Norris noted for start infringement

    The teams are running back to the grid now to get the blankets on those intermediate tyres. Lando Norris has been noted by race control a starting procedure infringement.

    A new time for the formation lap will be 15:47 GMT. The teams have got minutes on the grid.

  5. 'Carnage'

    Carnage at the start of this race. One car is out, others not starting, Sainz is still in the pit-lane and now we have the cars forming up once again and I don't know if we will get going this time or if there will be a delay.

  6. Team radio - Verstappen

    Engineer: "Yeah, this mess was caused from the front. We're just trying to unpick it. You did the right thing."

  7. Get Involved

    #BBCF1

    Matthew Murnaghan: This is going to be a fun race!

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Lance stroll is already giving indications that we could have red flags in the race. Unlucky man. He tried to get himself off the sand only to get stuck.

  8. "This mess was caused from the front," says Red Bull to Max Verstappen.

  9. Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think that may well have been a mechanical failure for Stroll, that was a very strange looking incident and he was one of those drivers who crashed earlier on, so possibly Aston Martin rushing the car together.

  10. Confusion on the grid

    So some drivers are waiting on the grid, while others have peeled away to go for another formation lap.

  11. Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That is going to be a non-starter for Lance Stroll, he's getting out the car. We will have another formation lap.

  12. Aborted start

    Lance Stroll is waiting to be picked up at Turn Four. The marshals are on the scene to recover his though.

  13. Stroll out of the car

    I can't believe it. What more has this day got in store for us?

    Aborted start.

  14. Stroll off on formation lap

    The Aston Martin locked-up the rears and off he went at Turn Four. The Canadian has tried to turn the car around and rejoin the action but he's stuck in the gravel.

  15. Formation lap

    Franco Colapinto says a huge thank you to his Williams team and says they're "legends".

    Lance Stroll is off at Turn Four!

  16. Formation lap

    Lando Norris leads us off on the intermediate tyres. When will the switch to slicks be?

  17. Harry Benjamin
    BBC F1 Commentator

    This could be a really big day up and down the constructors' championship.

  18. Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Max Verstappen has got a huge amount of innate natural talent in these conditions.

  19. Weather update

    Ian Fergusson
    BBC weather forecaster

    FIA official risk of rain is 100% for this event. Rain ETA still around 12:50 local (15:50 UK); mostly light at least initially.

  20. McLaren on top

    McLaren are 34 points clear of second-placed Ferrari in the constructors' title battle, with Red Bull now 63 points off the leaders sitting in third.

    In the fight for sixth, this could be a big race for RB, who have both drivers not only starting in the top 10, but high up the order too.
