    "Pastor Maldonado is in all sorts of trouble with the tyres and Max Verstappen is all over the back of him. The trump card that Maldonado has is the Mercedes engine."

  2. We're coming into the final few laps and it seems the mid-field is where any late action might occur. Keep an eye on Max Verstappen - he has Pastor Maldonado in his sights.

  3. Great to see Felipe Massa in among the points on his home track. The Williams man struggle in practice but is up in eighth. He's unlikely to catch Daniil Kvyat though.

  5. Yup, very much so. Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton go through traffic and the latter comes out almost three seconds behind.

    "It is looking tough for Lewis Hamilton."

  7. Team radio

    Sebastian Vettel: "It looks a little bit darker now."

    Dark clouds there may be, but Ferrari reply that it is going to be dry until the end.

  8. People talk about how F1 is all about the cars. Max Verstappen is exposing the flaws in that theory all by himself.

    "That was incredibly close."

  12. Max Verstappen is single-handedly providing today's entertainment.

    He has a nibble at Felipe Nasr and the two almost come together on the inside. The Dutchman has another go - nails it.

  13. Team radio

    Mercedes enginer to Lewis Hamilton: "Aero data looks fine, no problems."

    Hamilton has lost half a second of time - the gap to Nico Rosberg about 1.5secs.

  14. Team radio

    Nico Rosberg: "Don't talk anymore!"

    Where are your manners, Nico? I guess he does have a race to win.

  15. Team radio

    Lewis Hamilton: "I've damaged my floor I think."

    That message comes after he experiences a bit of lock-up. Difficult to see exactly where he might have damaged the car.

  16. Team radio

    Nico Hulkenberg: "It is getting darker."

    Showers on the way? Helmet slipped down? Who knows?

  17. If we've learned anything today, it's to NEVER talk to Jenson Button in the braking zone.

  18. Team radio

    McLaren engineer: "Stick with target minus four, target minus four..."

    Jenson Button replies: "Stop talking to me in the braking zone! If you've got to speak to me you've got a whole straight to do it."

  19. Lewis Hamilton wants this so much, but is there anything he can do? Nico Rosberg has not put a foot, or wheel, wrong.  

    Their boss Toto Wolff is looking on anxiously.

  20. The gap is falling. Around a second now between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.
