    The pack came through at the third corner and guess who was sat watching the restarted action? Charles Leclerc. He’s sitting at the top of the hill, all on his own, just observing like a spectator.

    It's a mental game as well from Oscar Piastri and I think Lando Norris knows it.

    Oscar Piastri makes things more comfortable for himself now as he brings the gap up to 1.5s.

    What a punchy and aggressive choice from Max Verstappen to opt for the soft tyre for that restart, we saw how effective it was at the very beginning of this race.

    Lando Norris brings that gap over Oscar Piastri back under one second and that will be a bit too uncomfortable for Piastri.

    Kimi Antonelli is under investigation again, this time for speeding in the pit lane.

    Lando Norris has fended off that attack by Max Verstappen and is now 1.9 seconds ahead of the Red Bull.

    Meanwhile, all good for race leader Oscar Piastri as he builds up a one-second gap over Norris.

    Fernando Alonso, who was very frustrated earlier, will be a happy man now as he is ninth,

    Max Verstappen, on the faster rubber, is pushing hard to put pressure on Lando Norris.

    Charles Leclerc is just across the track from us at Turn Three, race helmet off. He’s just sat on the grass as the photographers take his picture. The Ferrari man is waiting a long time to be picked up.

    Lewis Hamilton speaking to BBC 5 Live's Rosanna Tennant after crashing into the barriers: "I'm not really sure to be honest, I just had a snap going into Turn Three and I couldn't recover it."

    On the potential undercut before the crash: "I think we were on a good strategy, we had good pace at the time and I think we had a good chance to progress and get ahead."

    Kimi Antonelli is given a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision. He's seventh.

    In fact, everyone from third to seventh all have softs. So that's a lot of cars behind the McLarens - who are on hards - that should have more grip for these final few laps of the race.

    Both Ferraris out on the exit of Turn Three, although Charles Leclerc by no fault of his own tapped the rear left from Kimi Antonelli going for a brave dive up the inside on that soft and cold tyre.

    Everyone has pitted for new tyres.

    Isack Hadjar, who is fourth, has also bolted on some softs, like Max Verstappen ahead of him.

    That's very hard luck for Charles Leclerc, who was sent spinning by Kimi Antonelli after the Mercedes lunged down the inside of the Ferrari but some understeer causes him to clip the left rear of Leclerc.
