Second stop for Sebastian Vettel. Having rattled off 35 laps on medium tyres after an early puncture on softs, he pits from 13th for more mediums.
He resumes between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. "Vettel ahead, he is a lapped car," Hamilton is told.

Great move by Perez [on Sainz] in the stadium section in front of all the fans

A tussle between Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez, with the former making a move at Turn 4 but he runs wide, cutting out the corner, before rejoining ahead of Perez. He is surely going to have to give up the position?
Yep, and he does so in a brilliant place - the stadium section - allowing Perez to enjoy a huge cheer as he retakes ninth.

Jenson Button pits - the final driver to do so - but takes on soft tyres. He is the only driver out there now on the faster tyre.

Grapevine Grand Prix:, external Rosberg is showing the kind of intelligent and dominant form that he needed to find back in May.
Abu Ali:, external Bottas outbraked himself and was behind. Strange that Kimi got penalised in Russia but Bottas gets away,that was purely revenge.

Lewis Hamilton goes even faster! He sails around the circuit in 1:22.100 and he has taken a fair old chunk out of Nico Rosberg's advantage. The German's lead is now 2.4s.

Waѕiyullah Budye:, external Hamilton & Rosberg turning out to be amazing rivals! Awesome to watch.
Rossouw:, external They should give Bottas a penalty.

So far so good for Nico Rosberg after those stops. He has a three-second lead over Lewis Hamilton, although the Briton has just set the fastest lap of the race so far - a 1:22.441
Everyone except for Jenson Button, in 11th, have been in for their first stops now.

"Hamilton is playing the longer game here. They send him out with a 2.4second pit stop - quite remarkable."

Two laps after his team-mate, Lewis Hamilton pits to make the switch to medium tyres. A trouble-free stop but he returns to the circuit behind Nico Rosberg.

Smooth as you like from Nico Rosberg.
In, medium boots bolted on, and back out in 2.5s and he returns to the circuit in second as Lewis Hamilton is elevated into the lead. The world champion is, of course, still to make his first stop.

Shohidur Rahman:, external Really hope Bottas doesn't get penalised for that. He was entitled to go for that and had the racing line.
Bishop Yinkus:, external Going from bad to worse for Ferrari as Kimi just collided with Bottas. I'm loving the Mexican GP right now. Lots of poor decision making.
