Why did Lewis Hamilton pit? "I've lost the race haven't I?" he says over team radio.

BBC F1 co-commentator"That was all in. You can see Verstappen is moving in the cock-pit. We need to see the replay and just understand was there a late change of direction by Grosjean. Looking at it, Grosjean does not appear to deviate. An error of judgement from Verstappen."

Replays show Max Verstappen hit the rear of Romain Grosjean at Ste Devote and went straight into the barriers. His Toro Rosso has taken a fair old whack but, fortunately, Verstappen is able to climb out, a little shaken perhaps but looks fine.

BBC F1 co-commentator"Everyone keeps talking about Verstappen only being 17. In terms of experience he's like a dog. People talk about dog years, he's been in a car since he was four-years old so in racing terms he's about 32."

Team: "Well done. Keep Verstappen behind."

Image source, Formula 1Anyone watched the BBC series Shark (stay with me)? In one episode a little fish stays close to a massive shark and effectively uses him as cover from the other ocean predators. That is pretty much Max Verstappen.
He is still hanging behind Sebastian Vettel, and tries to use the cover of the Ferrari to sneak past Romain Grosjean. Grosjean, though, is having none of it, keeping his line after letting Vettel through at the hairpin and Verstappen has to back off.
Well played, Romain, well played.

"If I stay with Vettel it's easier for me to overtake," says Max Verstappen, who is a lap behind Vettel but in his slipstream. "Agreed", he's told.
Verstappen is in 11th, if he can take Romain Grosjean then points are available.

Kimi Raikkonen is getting frustrated at the back markers, using some strong language over the radio.
His Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel is also running into traffic, with Carlos Sainz ahead of him. Sainz gets out of the way and Vettel gets past, with Max Verstappen - who was behind Vettel having just being lapped himself - seizing the opportunity to get the jump on on his Toro Rosso team-mate and move into 12th.
Verstappen spies an opportunity and he decides to track Vettel, keeping behind him to pass Valtteri Bottas and climb into 11th. Inventive.

"What's the plan, are we stopping or not? I'm losing the rear," says Valtteri Bottas in 11th. "We would like to try to go to the end," comes the reply.

John Large: Fuel saving, tyre saving, engine saving. We want them on the bleeding edge, going flat out and going for it.
Tom G Allen: Watching the Grand Prix intensely at Heathrow airport, COME ON LEWIS!
Jeremiah Kariuki: What a shame! When McLaren had raised all the hopes of double points, a reliability issue came calling home! Alonso to wait longer.
