Oh my! 

Strap yourselves in. We are in for a grandstand finish here. Daniel Ricciardo eyes up a move on Sebastian Vettel, dives down the inside of the Ferrari but runs wide at the corner and Vettel retakes third.

They were inches away from contact. Cue angry Vettel radio in three, two, one...

Dipo A:, external Please tell Mercedes we don't care, this is the best race in over two years.... More of today from them please.

Great race so far from Esteban Gutierrez. He's on course for a points finish with nine laps to go, but he's on medium tyres that are 26 laps old. Will he need one more stop?

1) Verstappen 2) Raikkonen 3) Vettel 4) Ricciardo 5) Bottas 6) Sainz 7) Perez 8) Massa 9) Gutierrez 10) Button

Jenson Button is not too happy with someone in his way.

"Get the car out the way. I know he thinks he is quick but he is not," says Button, who is currently 10th.

Daniel Ricciardo brings the gap between himself and Sebastian Vettel, who is third, down to half a second. 

Daniil Kvyat pits after getting 24 laps out of his set of mediums. He's back out on mediums and purple through sector two as he resumes his charge for a top 10 finish. He's currently 11th.

"This is probably a very surreal moment for Kimi Raikkonen as he would have raced Max Verstappen's father Jos, and now here he is racing his son."

Kimi Raikkonen only has Max Verstappen on his mind at the moment. Behind the Finn in third is Sebastian Vettel, but the gap is seven seconds.

However, frustration levels must be rising for Raikkonen as Verstappen is giving him nothing. The gap is still 0.7s, as it has been for a couple of laps now.

"Mercedes say Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are not going to speak (to the media) until after a decision has been made by the race stewards. That meeting is expected for 4.30 here, 3.30pm in Britain."

Marcus Ericsson calls out his team-mate Felipe Nasr. The two are battling for 14th and and angry Ericsson is on the radio to say: "His braking is dangerous. He is moving about everywhere! Team-mates, come on."

It's been a tough couple of weeks for Daniil Kvyat but he may have something to cheer by the end of this weekend. He is currently ninth but has Felipe Massa right on his tail.

Will 18-year-old Max Verstappen win the Spanish Grand Prix?

"It is unbelievable, but it depends on the speed of those behind him. Vettel and Ricciardo are on fresher tyres so it will go down to the last few laps."

It's getting tense at the top. That flash of red is looming large in Max Verstappen's rear mirrors. Surely even he is getting a bit twitchy about that?

The gap is now 0.7s...

Oh no! 

Fernando Alonso has pulled over onto the grass at Turn Three.

"No power, no power," he says before climbing out and trudging off. A horde of fans charge over to the nearby fence and offer Alonso some consolatory applause.

Kimi Raikkonen is second and 1.1s behind Max Verstappen. This is a big 20 laps for the youngster. What a thrilling finish we have on the cards here!

The top four are in a race of their own with fifth place Valtteri Bottas 30 seconds behind.
