  1. Lap 49/70

    Ollie Bearman needs some assistance from the pit wall. "Guys, this car is broken. No grip at all," says the Briton. He's dropping down the order and heading to the pits.

    Max Verstappen comes in to change tyres again and is out in ninth on the hard compound.

  2. Lap 48/70

    Lando Norris is clearing backmarkers as he leads this Hungarian Grand Prix. Alex Albon's Williams is passed, now it's Oliver Bearman's Haas on the chopping block.

    The balance of Lando Norris' car looks really nice right now, whereas when he was behind traffic and in the dirty air, the balance looked horrible.

  4. Lap 47/70

    Polesitter Charles Leclerc is sandwiched between the McLarens now in second but he dips a wheel on to the grass in a nervy moment. George Russell is in third and is picking up some pace on his new hard tyres.

  5. Norris takes the lead

    Lap 46/70

    McLaren complete a rapid stop for Oscar Piastri and the Australian is back out on track in third place. Lando Norris takes control of this race on his 15-lap old hard tyres, with Charles Leclerc 7.2 seconds behind in second.

    Lando Norris is still looking fairly decent at the moment for this win, but he's going to have three very fast cars coming at him in the last 15 laps.

  7. Lap 45/70

    Lando Norris is on a high on this one-stop strategy, lighting up purple on every lap. Oscar Piastri is looking for an opportunity to stop - and here it is...

    Oscar Piastrig

  8. Top five

    Lap 44/70

    1. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)

    2. Lando Norris (McLaren)

    3. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)

    4. George Russell (Mercedes)

    5. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

  9. Hamilton called in to pit

    Lap 43/70

    This long old stint is over for Lewis Hamilton and his hard tyres make way for fresh mediums. George Russell has also made a second stop and comes out in fourth place.

  10. 'Norris will be hoping and willing that Russell pits soon'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    George Russell in second could spoil Lando Norris' race by staying out too much longer.

    If Russell doesn't pit soon he [Norris] will get bottled up behind him and Charles Leclerc has just pitted for a brand new set of hard compound tyres.

    Norris will be hoping and willing that Russell pits soon.

  11. Lap 42/70

    Max Verstappen is being told leaving him out may be his best option now after the likes of Gabriel Bortoleto finally make a stop. It'll be difficult, says the Dutchman, as these hard tyres are getting on a bit now.

  12. Leclerc comes into the pits

    Lap 41/70

    Charles Leclerc is into the pits to box off any threat from Oscar Piastri, as the Australian stays out on track. Ferrari fit Leclerc with another set of hards and he's now behind Lando Norris in fourth. Piastri takes the lead with George Russell in second.

    McLaren had called Piastri into the pits on the radio. But was it a bluff? Or did they change their minds?

  13. 'More Verstappen's fault than Hamilton's'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    [On the incident between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton] I think it's more Max Verstappen's fault than Lewis Hamilton's on this occasion.

    It has massively affected Hamilton's race, he still hasn't pitted and he's now nine seconds behind Verstappen.

  14. Lap 40/70

    Decisions are being at McLaren for championship leader Oscar Piastri. Does he want to undercut Charles Leclerc or cover off his team-mate Lando Norris?

    Ferrari have reacted to this...

  15. Lap 39/70

    Charles Leclerc leads Oscar Piastri and George Russell but Lando Norris is lurking in fourth place, banging in the fastest laps on his one-stop strategy.

  16. Lap 38/70

    Max Verstappen is under investigation now for that earlier tussle with Lewis Hamilton when the pair were fighting over 11th place.

    Liam Lawson is still in the top 10 in seventh for Racing Bulls but the New Zealander has yet to dump his starting medium tyres.

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

    George Russell is doing a good job at the moment, these cooler conditions are helping his car.

  18. Lap 37/70

    Lance Stroll pits after a long stint on the mediums and is back out on the hards ahead of the Williams of Alex Albon. The Aston Martin driver is in 12th place.

    Mercedes have more words of wisdom for George Russell. "Just let me driver," is how they're received.

  19. 'The pit walls are working overtime'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I enjoy these strategic battles and these kind of races, yes it's difficult to overtake it but the pit-walls are working overtime.

    It's looking like Lando Norris is on a belter of a strategy, can he eek out that tyre life? He's just gone green green, green with the fastest lap of the race.

  20. Lap 36/70

    Two seconds is the advantage in the hand of Charles Leclerc out in front but what can Lando Norris do from fourth? He can set a fastest lap on his fresh hard compound, that's for sure.
