    Just listening to Lando Norris on his radio comms. He said "I can't push, my front left is grained". The front left is a major problem at this circuit because there are so many hard rights. But, it can come back to you so I wonder if he just cycles through the heat and takes control of that and the graining comes back and he can use that tyre again. It's quite early for those mediums to be graining.

  2. Lando Norris is eating into Oscar Piastri's advantage a bit out in front, with just over three seconds between them.

    George Russell is told to push as he looks to close the gap on Lewis Hamilton, who is fifth. The gap between the two is around 2.2 seconds.

  4. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    Engineer: "Lando, we can push the tyre a little bit more in Turn three and Turn nine."

    Norris: "I can't push. My front left is grained and I'm just understeering."

  5. 'Gives you an extra boost of motivation'

    If your engineer is coming to you and saying it's "all to play for", he can see the timing screens, he knows the strategy and he can see the pace of everyone else.

    It really gives you an extra boost of motivation and energy to keep pushing on, especially if you know that a podium is in contention.

  6. Max Verstappen is back into third as he picks off Charles Leclerc. He's also just got the fastest lap of the race, so McLaren are right to be wary.

  7. Drivers 'burning through tyres'

    I'm on Pierre Gasly watch at Alpine. He's just pitted, his second pit stop, he went onto the mediums. His tyres lasted 22 laps on the soft tyres. That's the gauge, it's so hot out there and people are just burning through the tyres.

  8. A radio message from McLaren suggests they will still be in a fight with Max Verstappen later in the race.

    Lando Norris is told to push a bit more.

    Max Verstappen is given some words of encouragement as he is told "all to play for". He's currently fourth and 1.5s behind Charles Leclerc in third.

    #BBCF1

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Leclerc is driving closer to Norris and away from Hamilton. Lewis is actually falling back towards Russell and possibly in a few laps, he will be a defending an overtake from Mercedes. Car 44 is back to the default settings of "undriveable"!

  11. Team radio - Verstappen

    "It's again like I have no clutch while upshifting."

  12. Halfway point of the race and Oscar Piastri leads Lando Norris by five seconds. Behind them is Charles Leclerc.

    It's so hot out there, I just wonder if the track temperature, which is at 47.9C, is having some sort of effect down there and they're trying to do something else. Verstappen has only one medium, one soft and one hard tyre left. The hard is such a slow tyre. Maybe he will have to go onto a soft, but it will be a used soft

    Whatever Red Bull is planning, I can imagine they didn't want to fall behind that Ferrari of Charles Leclerc because it has pushed them out of where they want to go.

  15. Team radio - Hamilton

    "Just no grip. The rear is nowhere today."

  16. There's a coming together between Liam Lawson and Oliver Bearman as the two touch tyres, sending Bearman off into the escape road.

  17. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    Engineer: "Verstappen has pitted. That means he's on a three stop. We're happy with our plan."

  18. Lewis Hamilton now has his former team-mate to worry about with George Russell just behind and lapping faster than the Ferrari.

  19. Olli Caldwell
    Former F2, F3 and Alpine development driver on Sports Extra 2

    [On Max Verstappen's team radio] What that means is when he's on the brakes and trying to turn in the car, the rear of the car is moving a huge amount which we know this Red Bull has a problem with.

    He just can't seem to commit to a turn in without the car getting a big snap of oversteer.

    Albon served his stop-go penalty, he was given a 10-second penalty. If he didn't serve it, he was going to have to carry it over to Canada so what they have done is serve the penalty, gone out, done another lap and brought him back in to retire the car.
