Sebastian Vettel powers down the back straight and Sergio Perez is helpless as he watches a streak of red whiz past. Vettel is now into fifth and he is informed that his next target is Fernando Alonso.

"Push hard. Push hard," he is told.

"Lewis Hamilton immediately 0.8 seconds faster than Kimi Raikkonen in the next sector after overtaking him. That's absolutely crucial for his race. Now, how far can he get?"

"Vettel really caught Valtteri Bottas napping."

Lewis Hamilton can't afford to be stuck behind Kimi Raikkonen for too long and the moment he has the chance to attack he pounces, moving into 16th.

Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel is continuing to discard of rivals further up the field. His latest victim is Valtteri Bottas as he breezes around the outside of the Williams at the hairpin. 

Quixotic Geek: Rule 1 of driving a red Formula 1 car: don't hit the other red Formula 1 car...

Kartik Pande: This is lining up to be an epic. You heard it here first.

Marvellous Shaun Dae: Hamilton can do it! Get on that podium!

"A beautifully executed dummy from Hamilton on Kevin Magnussen. His next target is a slightly tougher target - Kimi Raikkonen."

Safety car gone, Nico Rosberg increases his lead at the front to 3.2s. Good work from Daniil Kvyat as he again jumps up to third. 

Sebastian Vettel, on super softs, is storming through the field. He is up to ninth now whole Lewis Hamilton is also making moves from further back. He sweeps past Kevin Magnussen with a textbook move before setting his sights on Kimi Raikkonen.

Pascal Wehrlein. Fourth. Let's just enjoy that for a moment.

Bishop Yinkus: The race is already destroyed for @LewisHamilton, external but I will be glad if he make it into top 6.

Cazzy 4 Kimi: It makes a difference that Rosberg is the guy with all the luck! No one complained when LH won the WC in '14 whilst Rosberg retired.

Safety car is about to head in.

Just to catch up on the shook-up order, it is currently:

1) Rosberg 2) Massa 3) Alonso 4) Wehrlein 5) Gutierrez 6) Kvyat 7) Palmer 8) Perez 9) Bottas 10) Button.

Sebastian Vettel is still fuming at Daniil Kvyat. He blames the Red Bull's drive move into Turn 2 as the reason he collided with Kimi Raikkonen.

"It was a suicidal move," he says. I'm not so sure Vettel is clear of all blame...

"Those soft tyres are going to last 24 laps if Hamilton looks after them so he should have to do one more stop around lap 30."

Hang on? What's happening now. No sooner had Lewis Hamilton taken on the super softs, he is pitting again and swaps to softs.

"I'm pitting again," asks a confused Hamilton.

Mercedes engineer to Lewis Hamilton: "We have a plan - nothing wrong, all part of the plan."

Lewis Hamilton makes his second stop of what has already been a bad race and he slaps on a pair of super softs.

Replays of the start show he was a victim of the Ferrari clash early doors, as Felipe Nasr clashed with the Mercedes after trying to avoid Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari.

James Humberstone: That was the kind of start that makes Williams fans regret turning down a night out to get up at 7 to watch the GP.

Bokang Koatja: ALWAYS something with Kimi. ALWAYS. I'm done.

Regular Jon: Rosberg the luckiest driver I've ever seen!

Reece Young: This safety car is perfect for kimi and Hamilton.
