This is stunning stuff from Sebastian Vettel! He is right on Lewis Hamilton and just as he makes the overtake Hamilton opts to into the pits. Mercedes are looking rattled.

"That was brave from Verstappen - and that was brilliant. He goes to the outside on the braking as the Red Bull goes defensive. He lets the car roll, it is a wide corner and there's plenty of space down the inside. Professionally driven."

Great stuff from teenage rookie Max Verstappen as he gets the better of Daniel Ricciardo and moves into P10, Nico Hulkenberg is just ahead of him.

McLaren: A disappointing end to Fernando's #F1 return - the team has had to retire his car.

The gap between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel is just 1.9 seconds, but that is rapidly coming down.

Nico Rosberg can't hold off the Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel sails past the Mercedes at the final turn. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso's race is run. He is told to box.

"Both of you have one more stop to make, Seb is on newer tyres, he will push you," Nico Rosberg is told over team radio. "Does that mean if he gets past me he has won," Rosberg asks. Vettel is gaining rapidly.

Sauber's Marcus Ericsson, who spun out of the race on lap three: "It was my mistake. I was trying to get past Nico, I was too late on brakes and locked up the rear. It's frustrating."

Gavin: Mercedes looking too powerful for Ferrari...was a valiant defence whilst it lasted.

Wendy Pankhurst: Much more of a race this week - good to see Ferrari doing so well after a few years in the shadows.

Ross Middleton: I've never been convinced by Perez. He shines bright on his day but he seems so inconsistent. The antithesis of his team mate

Sebastian Vettel's stop means Lewis Hamilton returns to the front of the pack and he has a 7.3 second advantage over Nico Rosberg, whose main concern at the moment might be the Ferrari behind him with Sebastian Vettel making up ground...

"We think Hamilton is going to make three stops, but Mercedes' strategists will be thinking hard about that."

Vettel looks to be two-stopping

"That's a great stop by Vettel and Ferrari. Because that was 23 seconds, with a 2.4 second stop, which is not quite a world record, but that time is good for a 140m pit lane."

Sebastian Vettel heads in for the first time in the race, pitting from the lead and takes on more mediums. Just a 2.4 second stop for Ferrari and he is back out in third.

Meanwhile, Pastor Maldonado, in 15th, is given a 10-second time penalty for exceeding the safety car time.

Nico Hulkenberg makes his first stop of the day, strapping on the medium tyres and heading back out in front of Romain Grosjean in 16th.

Nico Rosberg is now up to third so now Sebastian Vettel leads the two Mercedes but he is still to make his first stop of the race.

Kimi Raikkonen is into the pits and it is a smooth stop for the Finn. After some nightmare stops in Australia, Ferrari put in the practice on Friday and it looks to have been time well spent.

Words of encouragement for race leader Sebastian Vettel on the team radio. "This is good, keep doing this," the German is told.

Oli: Wow the Ferrari's pace is very impressive! Would be good to see them challenge!!

Sebastian Vettel leads Lewis Hamilton by 9.4 seconds at the end of lap 13.

Vettel's Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen is also making progress after his early puncture. He is 12th, with Daniil Kvyat just over a second ahead of him.
