    "Great Finn on Finn action there. This is great to see Raikkonen back and so racey. He saw the opportunity - he hasn't made it stick because Bottas had great reactions to do the cut-back."

    bottas and raikkonen

    Some more great wheel-to-wheel action involving Kimi Raikkonen! The Finn fancies a crack at his compatriot Valtteri Bottas and swoops in at Turn 4, briefly taking the position only for Bottas to immediately fight back. Raikkonen tries again but Bottas fends him off to retain fifth.

  8. Happy with safety - Grosjeanpublished at 13:10 British Summer Time 11 October 2015

    Lotus's Romain Grosjean talking to BBC F1's Lee McKenzie after his heavy shunt:

    "Tomorrow morning it's going to be a little bit sore but I can be very happy with the safety in F1. Here I am. I feel sorry for the guys because there is going to be a lot of work on the car.

    "We need to understand what happened. You do realise quite early that you can't do anything any more so you leave the steering wheel and get muscles as strong as you can. I was glad when I opened my eyes [and] I was fine. 

    "I am very thankful we have made some progress with technology."

    Sean Harrison: Bad luck for Rosberg but Hamilton had more of it last year and still won the title.

    Alex Meek: Talking about fair? How many retirements did Hamilton have last year in comparison and still won the championship? Just karma.

    Lewis Hamilton pits with a huge advantage at the front. It is a relatively leisurely stop with no real pressure on the Mercedes. He takes on softs before emerging back in P1 with a 7.4s advantage over Daniil Kvyat, who has yet to make his first stop with 33 laps gone.

    In comes Sebastian Vettel and he is back out ahead of Valtteri Bottas, into P6. Kimi Raikkonen is next in, can he also get back out ahead of Bottas? It is going to be close...but Bottas just keeps himself ahead.

    Valtteri Bottas has some traffic ahead of him, he struggles to get the better of Carlos Sainz but finally manages it. However, he has lost a few valuable seconds.

    Sebastian Vettel is coming in now for his first stop...

    Hamilton's advantage over Sebastian Vettel is 15s. A supremely comfortable day for the Briton.

    "Bottas needs to hit it now and try to get the maximum out of these tyres so Vettel doesn't take advantage and leapfrog him."
