  1. LAP 38

    Nico Rosberg pulls out a big lap with a 1:31.355 on the medium tyres and the gap is cut to 1.5 seconds.

  2. LAP 37

    Meanwhile, at the front Lewis Hamilton improves with a 1:31.514, Nico Rosberg is a touch slower with a 1:31.610 and the gap currently stands at two seconds.

  3. LAP 36

    That leaves 12 cars on the circuit, with Jenson Button and Carlos Sainz outside the points at the moment. Sainz is on the back of Sergio Perez in 10th, though.

    BBC F1 pit-lane reporter

    "He wasn't stationary for that long. Jos Verstappen was not happy. That was a points scoring position they threw away."

  5. LAP 34

    Ah, terrible timing with that last entry as, moments after making his first pit stop, Max Verstappen comes to a stop with smoke coming out of his Toro Rosso. He climbs out and makes his way back to the pits, cheers of encouragement from the crowd as he passes by. A big shame.

  6. LAP 33

    What an opportunity this is for drivers to score some big points today with so many cars having failed to start. Felipe Nasr is sixth at the moment, with fellow rookies Carlos Sainz and Max Vertsappen 11th and 12th respectively.

  7. Team radio

    "Fantastic Kimi. The race with Massa is still on."

  8. LAP 31

    Kimi Raikkonen is flying! He clocks a new best lap with a 1:31.523 and he is closing in on Felipe Massa in fourth.

  9. Tom Clarkson
    BBC F1 pit-lane reporter

    "The good news for Carlos Sainz is the team have confirmed his car is OK. As for the wheel gun I have not seen them changing but there has been a lot of gesticulating."

  10. LAP 29

    After that flurry of pit stops Sebastian Vettel is currently the 'best of the rest' in third, behind the Mercedes pair and ahead of Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen.

  11. LAP 28

    Jenson Button is closing in on the top 10, he is up to 11th but is yet to make his first pit stop. He is subsequently called in after reporting that he is having a problem with his tyres.

  12. LAP 27

    One lap after his team-mate Nico Rosberg pits and it is also a very efficient stop. He rejoins in P2, with Lewis Hamilton over four seconds clear.

  13. Ben Edwards
    BBC F1 commentator

    "The evidence at the moment is that Hamilton has the edge this weekend."

  14. Get involved #bbcf1

    James Stevenson: Just a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive in the country for Hamilton & Rosberg so far. They'll be stopping for a picnic any time now.

    James Humberstone: The Formula 1 world is relying on Kimi Raikkonen to make this race semi-entertaining.

    Dom Ship: My Vauxhall Corsa would have a chance of scoring points in this race!!

  15. LAP 26

    No such drama for Lewis Hamilton as he pits from the front and it's as smooth as it can be as he returns with mediums bolted on. Nico Rosberg, still to pit, is left as the temporary leader.

  16. LAP 25

    A terrible pit stop for Carlos Sainz as Toro Rosso struggle to get his left rear tyre off, the tyre gun seemingly failing. He eventually gets back out on the circuit but is down in 13th.

  18. LAP 24

    Daniel Ricciardo heads in and switches to medium tyres, while Sebastian Vettel is temporarily into third before he too is told to box.

  19. Force India: Nico returns to track in P11, some road ahead of the renewing battle between Checo and BUT for P12.

  20. David Coulthard
    BBC F1 co-commentator

    "Vettel needs to move on, he has some clear air ahead of him."
