    I'm not understanding the logic going on here from McLaren whilst they are under no pressure, if you want to swap places, do it now.

    Max Verstappen tries once again to overtake Charles Leclerc but once again the Red Bull driver is denied by the Ferrari man.

    McLaren tell Oscar Piastri they're happy for a switch on the final lap.

    If McLaren want to impose team orders this would be a golden opportunity to do that when Norris hasn't got his mirrors for of the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc.

    The purple stopwatch is by the side of Max Verstappen once again but the Red Bull man is just waiting for the perfect opportunity to pass the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc with the aid of a DRS.

    There's not been much overtaking but it is still on a knife's edge with the top four having no more than a second between any of those cars.

    Lap 14/24

    While Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen are scrapping over third place, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are still in the same positions they started this race in. The gap is down to half a second as we approach 10 laps to go.

    The Red Bull of Max Verstappen is on the prowl and Charles Leclerc is his prey. The Dutchman wants to try his luck in lap 13 but the Ferrari stays ahead. Verstappen then comes on the radio to bemoan Leclerc's driving.

    This is a problem for Norris, he is 1.9 seconds away from Piastri and Leclerc is closer than ever, Norris could be exposed here.

    Piastri has backed into Norris, it's a slower lap from Piastri, half a second away from his best.

    I can see why Norris is frustrated, he's going to be getting his tyres overheating, he wants clear air. He does not need to be overheating his tyres behind Piastri, at this rate McLaren are going to mess things up.

    Sergio Perez has climbed the order, too. The Mexican spots a chance to pass Ollie Bearman and take the Briton's ninth place. Liam Lawson in the RB is still holding on to the final points position in eighth.

    Max Verstappen is now banking the fastest laps of this 24-lap race and is staying in the hunt of the top three.

    Norris really wants this team order to happen now, he's bunched in behind his team-mate and once you're in the dirty air it's difficult to do too much more.

    Lap 8/24

    Any thoughts of Oscar Piastri shifting aside to let Lando Norris take the lead can be put on hold for the moment. The Australian is keeping this P1 spot for himself, for now, and is around eight-tenths clear of his McLaren team-mate.

    Lando Norris is on the team radio to say he's confused as to what the plan is. Oscar Piastri is out in front but the Briton is feeling the heat from the Ferrari and the Red Bull.
