  1. Lap 23/70

    So, is it Plan A ot Plan D for Lando Norris? asks his engineer. Either way, just keep them informed about how your tyres are getting on and if they can extend this stint.

  2. Lap 22/70

    Oscar Piastri gets Fernando Alonso, not that the Spaniard would fight that move hard, and is now in third. The undercut on Charles Leclerc didn't shakedown as planned, and now McLaren are planning where Lando Norris will end up in this race.

  3. Lap 21/70

    Charles Leclerc suffers a slight lock-up on his hard rubber but he recovers well to pass the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso, who is still out on his medium starting tyres.

    George Russell has overtaken Gabriel Bortoleto for fifth, and Oscar Piastri is just aiting for the first corner to make a jump on Alonso.

  4. 'An intriguing fight at the front'

    Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso are going long here, Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri and George Russell have boxed. This is an intriguing fight now at the front.

  5. Ferrari call in Leclerc

    Lap 20/70

    Who will take the lead of this race now? Charles Leclerc is in for the hard tyre but Oscar Piastri is told the Ferrari man may struggle with tyre warm up on his out lap. George Russell is now sixth, hard compound also on.

    Lando Norris stays out and is now in front.

    Fernando Alonso has looked after those tyres and maybe what he's trying to do now is just finish those tyres, get them done, get the gap and then box.

  7. Piastri now pits

    Lap 19/70

    McLaren pull the pit trigger - but it's for Oscar Piastri. The Australian takes a set of hards and he rejoins the action in fifth place. What will this do at Mercedes and Ferrari?

  8. 'Leclerc looks comfortable in the Ferrari'

    It's an interesting situation because Charles Leclerc has got three seconds on Oscar Piastri and it looks like he's quite comfortable in the Ferrari.

  9. Verstappen pits

    Lap 18/70

    Red Bull call in Max Verstappen in the hopes the Dutchman can undercut the Sauber of Gabriel Bortoleto. verstappen is out on hard tyres.

    "Plan A, minus five," McLaren tells Lando Norris. "My tyres are gone," is his reply.

  10. Lap 17/70

    Oscar Piastri is being told push in the McLaren. Let those medium tyres put a shift in and chance down the Ferrari of Charles leclerc. He needs to make up 2.5 seconds to get close to the Monegasque driver.

  11. Lap 16/70

    The other Williams soft runner, Carlos Sainz, is next to come into the pits. Red rubber gone at lap 16, hard tyres bolted on next. The Spaniard is back out ahead of his team-mate Alex Albon in 17th place.

  12. 'Norris has hit a brick wall behind Russell'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It looks like Lando Norris has hit a bit of a brick wall behind George Russell, he just can't get close enough.

    The field is fairly static and nobody is really offering anything or making any big moves.

  13. Lap 15/70

    Alex Albon and Esteban Ocon pit at the same time - and are released at the same time. The two don't come to blows, so nothing really for the stewards to look at. Albon is now on a set of mediums having ditched the softs and is 18th, Ocon is now on the hards in 19th.

  14. 'Leclerc is controlling the field very well'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    In three or four more laps Charles Leclerc could be in that window ahead of Fernando Alonso and be able to pit and change onto the hard compound tyre if he wanted to do so.

    Leclerc is controlling the field very well and that Ferrari looks quick at the moment.

  15. Lap 14/70

    Franco Colapinto and Nicop Hulkenberg have already visited the pits today, the Alpine driver making his first stop now to take a set of hard tyres.

    Lando Norris has now dropped out of the DRS range of George Russell, and there's a whisper he's struggling a bit on his medium rubber.

  16. Lap 13/70

    Lando Norris has clocked the fastest lap, so there's a plus point, but he's still no closer to the Mercedes of George Russell. Charles Leclerc is now three seconds clear of championship leader Oscar Piastri.

  17. Lap 12/70

    Where are the opportunities for Lando Norris to pass George Russell? They're limited at the Hungaroring, so this could be a long day for the McLaren driver.

    Over at Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton is yet to make a move, his car unable to find a way through on rookie Kimi Antonelli on the hard tyre.

  18. 'Alonso wants points for Aston Martin'

    Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent at the Hungaroring

    I wonder if one of those drivers thinking of a one-stop is Fernando Alonso because he's backing up the rest of the field.

    There's basically a massive train between him to Yuki Tsunoda in 19th place.

    Alonso wants points for Aston Martin because they're not in a great position in the constructors' championship, so maybe he's already thinking in that way.

  19. Lap 11/70

    McLaren tell Lando Norris the obvious: he needs to clear George Russell. The Mercedes took third place at the start of this race and happily ahead of the Briton on the same medium tyre.

    Stuart Mitchell: Lando Norris talked about how the driver that makes the least mistakes between him and Piastri will win the WDC this year. That start was a perfect example of why it won't be Norris winning the title.
