    Strategically Mercedes are not under pressure. Vettel is now going to finish second in this grand prix unless something untoward happens. Ferrari have just lost this grand prix on the pit wall. Sebastian Vettel has every reason to feel unhappy.

  2. Lap 26/70published at 19:38 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    There's a bit of litter or something given a marshal cause for concern. It's fluttering around on the track without a care in the world as said marshal watches on. Fortunately, the wind eventually blows it away from the circuit. 

  3. Lap 25/70published at 19:37 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    Lewis Hamilton pits and switches to softs. He's back out in second 13.2s down on Sebastian Vettel. The Briton will be going to the end of the race, but Sebastian Vettel will have to make one more stop.

    Kenny Kong: Vettel is having a stormer of a race here, great jump at the start and decent overtakes in the Ferrari.

    Mad Pauly: Kimi did come out in 15th after his stop. He's done a good job to come back to 9th from there.

    Benedict Salido: Mercs are bound to lose the Constructor's Championship since their drivers only care about their own world championships points.

    Bernie Austin: Seriously the prancing horse has got some awesome pace!

    Vettel is running a second a lap quicker than Lewis Hamilton. In 10 laps time, he could be right up with him.

    Bad news for Jolyon Palmer. He  pits and is being wheeled into the garage and that's his race over.

  14. Lap 16/70published at 19:27 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    Daniel Ricciardo's rear mirrors are just full of menacing red at the moment. Sebastian Vettel is waiting for the chance to pounce and that comes at the hairpin as he attacks and takes third.

    Verstappen still hasn't let Ricciardo past him. There's going to be a little bit of needle between those two Red Bull drivers as we go forward.

    There are a few unknowns for Ferrari - I think they are rolling the dice a little bit.
