    "That was brilliant. Bottas said: 'ok I was made to look like a dummy first time, I am going to fight back'. Great driving from both Bottas and Rosberg."

  8. Hamilton leads after pit stopspublished at 13:40 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    It's between the Finn and Hamilton for the lead.

    Bottas has a 3.2 second stop but it's not enough to beat Hamilton, who surges through into the lead.

    Bottas feeds in just behind Massa and almost loses a place to Rosberg in turn, but the Finn just holds off the Mercedes.

    The new race order is: Hamilton, Massa, Bottas, Rosberg.

  9. Massa and Rosberg in togetherpublished at 13:38 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    Massa had a 3.8 second stop there and that slow turnaround allows Rosberg to get alongside him as they went down the pit lane.

    Massa just had the lead though and the Mercedes driver had to cede the line.

    While they were squabbling, Hamilton passed both after making that earlier stop.

    "That is why it is so important the team perfect the pit stop. He has clean air and fresh tyres. Let's see how others react."

  12. Hamilton inpublished at 13:37 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    Good stop - 2.4secs stationary. You cannot do it much quicker than that.

    He feeds out behind the Force India of Sergio Perez but crucially is able to pass the Mexican.

  13. Mercedes team radiopublished at 13:37 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    Team to Hamilton: "Box box, box box."

  14. Get involved - #bbcf1published at 13:36 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    Teebo's Ghost: It'll be won & lost in the pits. You heard it here first.

    Tom Bennett: People saying Williams are throwing this away. They're racing not just having a procession surely that's a good thing for F1.

    Benedict Salido: Put these top 4 drivers in a same car and this race gives you a glimpse of who really is a better driver. Hamilton champ only because of the car.

  15. Bottas looks again at Stowepublished at 13:36 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    If it's going to happen, it's going to happen at Stowe.

    But yet again Bottas cannot quite get it up alongside his team-mate.

    Massa is driving very well here. A cool head using all the experience he has amassed since coming into F1 in 2002.

    Daniel Ricciardo, currently 12th: "I've got a loss of power."

  17. Raikkonen flyingpublished at 13:33 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    Raikkonen has done a 1:38.954 on his new tyres.

    When these stops shake out expect to see the Finn in fifth place.

  18. Both Ferraris now have stoppedpublished at 13:32 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    Vettel stops in the second Ferrari as he, too, appears to have switched to a two-stopper.

    The Ferrari boys are trying to get the better of Nico Hulkenberg, who is running very impressively in fifth place.

    Ferrari came into this weekend thinking they would be battling Mercedes - I don't think the back end of a Force India was the expected view.

    On Mercedes' pit antics: "It was a dummy run, trying to force Williams. You are not systematically allowed to do that, but you can only get away with it once. I think they have used their joker."

  20. Mercedes fail to trick Williamspublished at 13:30 British Summer Time 5 July 2015

    We've just seen the Mercedes mechanics in the pits trying to tease the Williams boys out.

    But Williams don't fall for it.

    On they go.

    Massa, Bottas, Hamilton, Rosberg. Nothing between them.
