  1. Team radio - Piastri to McLaren

    "If Lando is still saving, I think he should go soon. I think I have the pace to get Max."

  2. Lando Norris is just keeping Oscar Piastri at arm's length with the gap between the two not getting any smaller than half a second.

  3. Yuki Tsunoda is looking like finishing outside the top 10 here. He's 12th, 1.1 seconds behind Fernando Alonso but more than six seconds behind Oliver Bearman in 10th.

    There's been quite a lot of angry messages on the team radios on this race specifically.

  5. Oscar Piastri is closing in on Lando Norris with the gap between the two down to 0.6s.

    Will they be left to race it out? Or told to swap to challenge Max Verstappen for the win?

    Could be an interesting few laps ahead.

  6. So after 40 laps the top six is in the same order as we started the race with.

    Will we get some late drama to spice things up?

  7. McLaren are struggling to close in on Max Verstappen as both and he and Lando Norris do identical 1.31.7s. Oscar Piastri, in third, is only a tenth of a second quicker.

    In the drivers' championship Max Verstappen would still be in second place, he would be on 61 points just one point behind Lando Norris if the race were to end like this.

  9. Lewis Hamilton is still adjusting to life with a new race engineer having switched to Ferrari. He's a bit snappy as he asks where he is slow on the track.

  10. Max Verstappen is told he can push until the end of the race now to try and keep those McLarens away from him. He leads Lando Norris by 1.4s.

  11. Kimi Antonelli is coping well with Lewis Hamilton behind him. In fact the teenager goes quickest of all on his latest lap and he's 2.2s ahead of Hamilton.

    The top three drivers are separated by just 2.9 seconds now.

    The pace is looking strong from Oscar Piastri who has closed that gap.

  13. Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz opt to stick on softs. They are back out 16th and 17th respectively and will be hoping for those tyres to last 18 laps.

  14. Oscar Piastri, in third, is a bit quicker than Lando Norris in second as he does the fastest lap of the race.

    Will McLaren make a decision if one driver appears faster than the other, to put pressure on Max Verstappen?

    Max Verstappen lost just over three-tenths of a second in that final sector from getting boxed up behind Lewis Hamilton.

  16. So with all the stops completed now by the front runners Max Verstappen is back as race leader. His advantage over Lando Norris is 1.2s.

  17. But now Kimi Antonelli pits from the lead, switches to hards and is back out in sixth place, behind George Russell but just a second ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who is on the quicker mediums.

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Kimi by indicating that his tyres are good can only now hope for a Safety or Virtual Safety Car which can keep in the lead.

  19. In comes Lewis Hamilton as he pits from second to make the switch from hard tyres to mediums.

    Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli is staying out the mediums he started the race on, so continues to lead the race.

  20. Isack Hadjar makes a comfortable move on Carlos Sainz, who is on mediums, and the Racing Bulls is up into ninth.
