  1. Lando Norris' looming McLaren is Max Verstappen's focus now with the Red Bull almost four seconds behind Oscar Piastri.

  2. Lando Norris is within a second now of Max Verstappen so could be making his move to regain second place soon.

  3. We're seeing some early stops here with Nico Hulkenberg pitting from 10th, while Carlos Sainz is also in.

  4. 'Verstappen got his tyres fired up'

    The Red Bull of Max Verstappen seem to be able to just get his tyres fired up a little bit more than both the McLarens.

    He said exactly what he said he would do which is to be very flighty on those first few laps.

  5. Lewis Hamilton ahead of Charles LeclercGetty Images

    Now comes the order from Ferrari for Lewis Hamilton to swap positions with Charles Leclerc.

  6. Charles Leclerc has a go at getting past Lewis Hamilton into Turn One but can't make the move stick.

    Surely only a matter of time because Leclerc is lapping around a second quicker than Hamilton.

  7. Will Hamilton give up position?

    [Leclerc] spent the last few laps all over the back of him [Hamilton]. I wonder if he wants through. He's on a different strategy call from Lewis Hamilton. He'll want to come and pit for mediums, they both will but the medium will want to go longer for Leclerc. Does he want to go through and will Hamilton give it to him?

  8. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    Engineer: "We can push on these tyres now. They're up to temperature. We want to try and pass Verstappen."

  9. Charles Leclerc is right up behind Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who is fourth. Leclerc is looking faster and Hamilton may be asked to let him pass soon.

  10. Nico Hulkenberg qualified 16th but very quickly got himself up into the points. Replays show he had clipped Alex Albon's front wing during his climb through the field and that's prompted Albon to pit.

  11. Oscar Piastri leading with Max Verstappen behind himPA Media

    Oscar Piastri is now moving well clear of Max Verstappen with the gap between the two up to three seconds.

  12. 'Piastri got a good start'

    Oscar Piastri got a very good start off the line there, Lando Norris not quite and being swamped by Max Verstappen.

    It's always interesting to hear Toto Wolff, team principal on the team radio, he doesn't speak out very often but when he does, it is an order to be obeyed and that is what George Russell is hearing.

  14. Team radio - Russell to Mercedes

    Russell: "These **** are moving under braking today. What is going on?"

    Toto Wolff: "George, concentrate!"

  15. 'Alonso and Hulkenberg showing their experience'

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

    You've got two very experienced drivers [Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg] battling and showing their experience here.

  16. Fernando Alonso is looking to score his first points of the season and has reason to be optimistic after a good qualifying yesterday's. He's 11th with Nico Hulkenberg ahead of him.

    George: Tuning in to the radio to follow the Spanish GP Let’s go Lewis!!

    John: These first 2 laps have already been more exciting than the entire Monaco race.

  18. George Russell is sounding stressed already over team radio as he's told to concentrate. He's down to sixth having briefly been in a battle for second.

  19. Oscar Piastri leads Max Verstappen by six tenths of a second but the Red Bull is nibbling into that advantage.

  20. 'Ferraris looking racy'

    Both Ferraris are looking very racy on this opening lap, both gaining positions.
