  1. Hamilton pits

    Lap 18/62

    Those soft tyres have done their day's work. Lewis Hamilton is in and bolts on a set of hard tyres, rejoining the rest of the field in 13th place.

    Charles Leclerc is being praised for his job on the brakes by his engineer but the Monegasque driver responds with a less-than-confident message, saying they are reacting "completely differently".

    Watching the car attitude of Charles Leclerc, what he's doing is he's driving in a manner that is trying to conserve those rear tyres.

    Andrew Priestley: Norris and McLaren have so much pace in hand over the rest of the field.

  4. Team radio - Albon

    Engineer: "Car is overheating"

  5. Albon reitres

    Lap 17/62

    The day is over for Alex Albon. The Williams man switches everything off and is being pushed back into the garage by the mechanics.

    Meanwhile, Lando Norris is 11 seconds clear of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull, with Lewis Hamilton still tootling away on his soft compound in the Mercedes.

  6. Team radio - Perez

    "He's very good. Difficult to pass Colapinto."

  7. Lap 16/62

    The car peels off and it looks like Alex Albon is heading back to the pits. He was passed by Daniel Ricciardo in the RB on the medium tyre and was losing ground on the Australian quite sharply.

    Lewis Hamilton is doing a really strong job on those soft tyres, I didn't expect them to last this long but he's hanging onto them really well.

  9. Lap 15/62

    Williams also called in Alex Albon for a changeover and the Thai-British driver joins the likes of Carlos Sainz on the hard tyre. But a few moments later, Albon finds himself in trouble...

  10. Lap 14/62

    Carlos Sainz is in to the pits for a stop, which ends up being a tad on the slow side, and comes out on a set of hard tyres down in 18th place.

    McLaren are back on the radio to race leader Lando Norris to say the undercut could be powerful today.

    Everyone is getting stuck in the dirty air, it's such a tricky thing to get within three, four tenths of a second and then get into that DRS zone.

  12. Lap 13/62

    Sixth place is still in the hands of Nico Hulkenberg but the Haas driver is on the team radio to say he is "sliding around like hell" now on his medium tyres.

    Lando Norris leads Max Verstappen by eight seconds now, surpassing his target set by McLaren a few laps earlier.

    That's interesting, Daniel Ricciardo was on that soft tyre and he's already come in [to the pits]. Are we going to see Lewis Hamilton come in, he's the other soft tyre runner.

    It's proving tricky to get any overtakes done, since the first lap we haven't seen any movement.

    People like Oscar Piastri who may feel like they are a little bit out of place at the moment from where they should be in regards to the pace of their car, might need to try something that little bit different.

  15. Lap 12/62

    Yuki Tsunoda in P11 is told Franco Colapinto and Sergio Perez are squabbling for positions just in front of him, so there could be something in it for him. The Japanese driver's reply? "That's too much information". Leave Yuki alone.

    Nulla Pax: I'm so impressed with Colapinto. He is holding his own amongst some very good drivers.

  17. Lap 11/62

    The RB of Daniel Ricciardo comes into the pits and dumps his starting soft tyres for a set of mediums. The Australian rejoins the action in last place.

    Norris has obviously got pace in hand, this race is going to come down to tyre management and maybe some very long stints if the tyres aren't too bad, or better than what they feared.

  19. Lap 10/62

    Sergio Perez is looking for a opportunity to pounce on the young Williams driver Franco Colapinto just ahead in P9, but the Argentine driver is keeping the Mexican on his toes.

  20. Lap 9/62

    The phone is ringing and it's for Lando Norris. The McLaren pit wall want to know how the pace is? It's good, says the British driver. In that case, comes the reply, try and pull out an even bigger gap, five seconds to be exact, to Max Verstappen by the mid-teens of this race. The advantage currently is three seconds.

    At Red Bull, Sergio Perez in P10 is told Franco Colapinto is struggling...
