  1. FINAL LAP

    Here we go. Final lap and Nico Rosberg is looking good for the win here. The crowd cheers as he roars through the stadium section...

    "Rosberg has one hand on the cup"

  3. A slow lap from Lewis Hamilton after a mistake through the stadium section, faultless from Nico Rosberg with his latest effort and that gap increases to 1.6s...

  4. A 1:20.7 and Lewis Hamilton brings that gap down to 1.1s, but Nico Rosberg responds by going faster, a 1:20.5s. 

    Two laps to go and the gap is currently 1.2s. This is going to be close!

  5. Lewis Hamilton is struggling to bring that gap down, with Nico Rosberg 1.4s ahead, but he has just gone fastest all through the middle sector.

    Meanwhile, after nipping into third after the restart, Valtteri Bottas is pulling away from the Red Bulls and is three seconds ahead of Daniil Kvyat.

    "That looked like a sure thing that Maldonado was going into the wall. He is a man who lives on the edge."

  7. Ooof! Great save Pastor Maldonado! The Lotus driver uses every ounce of his strength to keep his car out of the barrier at Turn 12.

  8. Get involved #BBCF1

    Fissuh Hailu: Hamilton might need to be aggressive if he is to beat Rosberg here.

    Grapevine Grand Prix: I can feel some contact coming between Kvyat/ Ricciardo or Pérez/ Verstappen.

    Daniel Brown: Mexico Grand Prix is special. Incredible how a racing track can encapsulate the essence of a culture, an incredible country. Vamos!

  9. Nico Rosberg is doing just enough to hold off Lewis Hamilton. He is 1.1s down the road and has just gone fastest through the middle sector.

  11. Ten laps to go

  13. Felipe Massa is 1.3s seconds behind fifth-place Daniel Ricciardo and he is urged to attack...

  14. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are pushing. Pushing very hard and both make mistakes, Hamilton coming off briefly going into the stadium section, with Rosberg running wide through the esses section.

    Meanwhile Felipe Nasr, whose Sauber Jenson Button said earlier had a brake fire has retired, coming to a stop in the stadium section.

  15. Go! Go! Go!

    Safety car comes in and we are back racing again and Valtteri Bottas takes full advantage of the restart, getting the jump on Daniil Kvyat and he is into third. Up ahead, Nico Rosberg stays in front of Lewis Hamilton. The German wins that battle, but Hamilton will have to wait for the next chance to pounce.

  16. Jenson Button reports that Felipe Nasr has a brake fire as the safety car prepares to come in on this lap.

  18. The safety car prompted a flurry of stops. Daniil Kvyat, in third, and Daniel Ricciardo, fifth, have switched to softs. 

    Kvyat was a massive 22s behind the Mercedes before the safety car, but the field is now bunched up as we wait for the safety car to head in.
