Kevin Magnussen had a little tap on the wall and that's what has given him the puncture, a tiny tap. Sometimes you get away with them but not on this occasion.

Kevin Magnussen looks to be limping after a heavy hit to his left rear tyre at Turn Five. The Haas is now down in 19th place and is making his way back to the pits. He reaches his destination safely, avoiding the need for a safety car, and gets a set of soft tyres to finish his day.

If Lando Norris does take a sip, that in-feed water will be horrible by now. He still leads though by 27 seconds from Max Verstappen.

Norris is ahead by a month, he doesn't need to do that, just keep it away from the walls. You've got the best part of 25 seconds to Verstappen, just coast it home.

I think Leclerc will be able to keep the pace in the tyre now he's got clean air, he should be able to put in some laps and catch Hamilton.

Hamilton's tyres are a lot older than Leclerc's, it will be interesting to see just how close to the end he catches him. It's one thing catching him, but another thing passing him.

Engineer: If you keep this pace, we should catch Hamilton at the end."
