Could McLaren be on for their first points of the season?

Alonso is sixth (SIXTH!?). Button is down in 11th, but has a parade of cars just in front, ripe for the picking.

Lewis Hamilton will be praying that the message about a water pressure issue doesn't turn into something terminal.

To make things worse for Hamilton, Nico Rosberg has just set the fastest lap.

The gap has increased to close to 10 seconds.

Hamilton is still out there though. It's one to keep an eye on.

Not too fast, Jack.

"It looks like we have a water pressure issue," is the message from Mercedes to Hamilton.

It was raining for Lewis. Now it's pouring.

I think this is Hammer time, you know. This is getting tasty.

Hamilton went past two cars of traffic and through a yellow flag on his last lap - he's taken another second from Rosberg...

Hamilton is now coming into that traffic that slowed down Rosberg. We'll know shortly whether this race is on or not.

There's a Toro Rosso coming to a halt. It's Max Verstappen.

"There is something wrong with the engine," he says on the radio.

His car did make an awful noise before the race. Max has been kind enough to park up off the track so no safety car, which is no good to Hamilton.

I've just asked Mercedes and they say traffic is the problem [with Rosberg].

We could be seeing the battle for the race lead starting to unfold.

Hmmm. Hamilton is still knocking time off that lead. It was 12 secobds at one point - it's now 8.3.

Twenty laps left... it won't happen, will it?

Ricciardo has switched to the softs and he's working his way back up the field, starting with his team-mate Kvyat, gobbling up the Russian with ease.

Hamilton has taken a second off Rosberg's lead.

Just 11 more to chip away at Lewis.

Jeremiah Kariuki: That Renault of Magnussen is shooting away like a bullet! Ricciardo kind of struggling.

Alex Taylor Noble: This is why I love Hamilton & why he's vital to F1 - p10-p2. What a competitor!

We mentioned Nasr missing that bollard. He gets a five-second penalty for the misdemeanour.

Never has one bollard been so dastardly.

We have a terrific four-way battle for eighth.

Ricciardo takers the initiative and goes past Magnussen. But Magnussen recovers and in the midst of all that Grosjean takes Ricciardo by surprise. Looming behind it all is Sainz.

Rosberg and Hamilton are really just tracking each other. Rosberg is, as you'd expect, nicely in control of this race. Lewis Hamilton has done a magnificent job today to get his car up to second but, by the time he's done that, the gap is just too large.
