"That was exactly where Hamilton is the more natural driver - wheel to wheel. He's more decisive and the other drivers feel that."

Max Verstappen can become the youngest points scorer in Formula 1 today but he is down to 10th now as Valtteri Bottas gets the better of him at Turn One.

Ryan Blythe: Shaping up to be an interesting race this. Still fancy Hamilton winning it.

Lewis Hamilton charges past Romain Grosjean with ease. Nico Hulkenberg is his next target, and he gets him at the final corner. Second now.

Mercedes engineer on the team radio to Nico Rosberg: "The cars around you are on option tyre. You're one of the few on prime."

Lewis Hamilton attacks Carlos Sainz for fourth at Turn One...and makes it. He now has Romain Grosjean in his sights. Nico Rosberg is also making his move, getting beyond Felipe Massa into seventh.

Jordan Baker: Nice to see Vettel leading a race again, probably won't lead to a win but fingers crossed.

Alex Withington: On that restart lap we've just seen the difference between Lewis and Nico. When Lewis gets a chance, he takes it.

Sebastian Vettel leads Nico Hulkenberg by 6.8 seconds at the front, with Romain Grosjean and Carlos Sainz third and fourth respectively. Lewis Hamilton is right on the back of Sainz, though.

Meanwhile, movement for the McLarens, with Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso 15th and 14th respectively.

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are the only drivers in the top 10 on hard tyres. Rosberg is told to "give everything he needs to" with Sergio Perez ahead of him. Felipe Massa is now up to seventh but reports that the engine is not giving him any power.

Lewis Hamilton on Mercedes' team radio: "It's going to be hot out here for the tyres."

The safety car heads in and we are back racing again. Nico Rosberg, in ninth, is straight on the attack with Felipe Massa ahead of him.

Pantis Papaloizou: The safety car only benefits Rosberg.

James Rowe: A rather dull first few laps made worse by the safety car. The Sauber could've been cleared with the virtual safety car.

At the moment Sebastian Vettel leads ahead of Nico Hulkenberg, Romain Grosjean, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez. Lewis Hamilton is sixth.

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are into the pits to bolt on the hard tyre. Felipe Massa, Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat are also in from the leading pack but Sebastian Vettel stays out.

A huge spin from Marcus Ercisson into the gravel at Turn One and the safety car is deployed...

"That's the worst place to get a puncture - just past the end of the pit lane. Raikkonen has to do an entire lap. The tyre will roll off the rim but hopefully not do any damage to the body work. Otherwise he might have aerodynamic issues. It could be a long afternoon for Raikkonen."

Felipe Nasr has to go in for a new nose as result of that clash while Max Verstappen has dropped to ninth, having started from sixth.

Oh no! It gets worse for Kimi Raikkonen as he gets a puncture after nudge from Felipe Nasr just as he passes the pits. He has to complete almost an entire lap before he gets back in.
