    Oh no! Jenson Button has pulled over to the side of the track and there's fire coming from the rear of his McLaren.

  7. Lap 8/70published at 19:16 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    After picking off Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg has some work to do to get the better of Nico Hulkenberg, It's a 1.2s gap between the two and that has barely changed over the course of the last couple of laps.

    We were surprised by the pace of Vettel's start but I think Hamilton was as well. He did very little to stop him from coming down the inside. As he pulled away from the grid, he was still obsessed with what Rosberg was doing to his right.

    Further down the order and Carlos Sainz is weaving his way up through the field. He's up to 16th from 20th.

  11. Lap 5/70published at 19:11 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    Lewis Hamilton is the fastest man on the circuit at the moment as he completes the fifth lap in 1:17.400, shaving a few tenths of a second off of Sebastian Vettel's advantage and there's 09s between the two.

    The Chris Young: Heck of a start from Vettel!

    Liar Politicians: That was an amazing start by Sebastian Vettel to grab the lead.

    Tee: So sweet to see a Ferrari up in front.

    Ashley Wilkinson: What is with those Mercedes starts? Both cars being jumped this seasonfar too easily. Take nothing away from Seb though, lightning!

    DRS is enabled and Nico Rosberg cruises past Fernando Alonso as he begins his climb back up the order.

    Just watching the replay and it really is a brilliant start by Sebastian Vettel, benefiting from that new spec Turbo in his Ferrari it would seem.

  17. Lap 3/70published at 19:07 British Summer Time 12 June 2016

    Meanwhile, Max Verstappen got a move on Daniel Ricciardo and he is up to third. The rest of the top 10 looks like this:

    4) Ricciardo 5) Raikkonen 6) Bottas 7) Massa 8) Hulkenberg 9) Alonso 10) Rosberg

    Lewis Hamilton has held it together after that poor start and is loitering within striking distance of Sebastian Vettel. He's still in this but still, what a start by Vettel!

    Vettel was starting just behind Hamilton on the clean side of the grid. He was past Hamilton within 50 metres, I'd say. Hamilton slow getting away yet again.

    Terrible start by the two Mercedes and it looks like their wheels touch as they approach Turn One and Nico Rosberg is off the track! He rejoins but it is down in fifth. Disastrous for the championship leader.
