    "We have a battle potentially on our hands for second place. Daniil Kvyat took two tenths of a second out of Sebastian Vettel on that last lap. Remember they are on different tyres - Kvyat on mediums and Vettel on softs.""

    Nico Rosberg is cruising out in front with a 33 second advantage but the top three isn't wrapped up yet. Daniil Kvyat is four seconds behind second-place Sebastian Vettel with eight laps remaining.

    "It looks like Hamilton doesn't quite have the grip or downforce he is accustomed to."

    Kimi Raikkonen is getting the full benefit of being on fresher softs as he claims Felipe Massa's scalp at the hairpin to move into fifth. 

    Meanwhile, Jenson Button has pitted to take on super softs for the final few laps and is currently 13th, right behind Fernando Alonso.

    Lewis Hamilton is struggling now. He is dropping down the order as Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari looms large in the Mercedes' rear mirrors. Raikkonen makes the attack into the hairpin and takes sixth from the world champion.

    Just shy of half a minute is the gap between Nico Rosberg, in first, and Sebastian Vettel with 12 laps to go.

    Meanwhile, a bit of blue over Daniil Kvyat's radio. He is not happy about getting momentarily stuck behind a lapped Jolyon Palmer.

    "You have to believe there is a little bit of damage to that Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton."

    Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo suffers a puncture on the third lap.

  19. Postpublished at Lap 42/56

    Lewis Hamilton is closing in on Felipe Massa, just 0.3s is the gap between the two but Daniel Ricciardo is very much in this fight. He's right behind Hamilton and spies an opportunity to attack him down the inside and takes it beautifully. He is up to fifth.

    "Super impressed with Ricciardo and Hamilton - both were dead last earlier in this race. Have to feel if Ricciardo hadn’t had puncture could have won this."
