    Chika Charles: Lewis wins this and he will win the championship. Rosberg seems to falter under pressure and he can't keep his race clean again.

    Ashley Wilkinson: Difference between hard-but-fair racing and outright refusing to turn in. Lewis turns, doesn't get penalised. Nico doesn't & does.

    Blackburn Lad: Rosberg too much of a technician to be an F1 champion, no fight, no confidence.

  3. Lap 60/67published at 14:26 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Felipe Nasr's race is over. He's stopped at the entrance to the pitlane. He follows Felipe Massa in retiring from the race.

  4. Lap 59/67published at 14:25 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Nico Rosberg has some traffic to deal with in the shape of Kevin Magnussen and Felipe Nasr. He manages to get through with minimum fuss but he's got 6.5 seconds to make up on Max Verstappen, who is third.

  5. Lap 58/67published at 14:23 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Fernando Alonso is told: "Forecast says there may be some drops of rain in the next five minutes."

    What impact will this have on the leaders?

  6. Lap 57/67published at 14:23 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Lewis Hamilton has found a bit more up in front. There's 7.3s between them as Hamilton's latest lap is two tenths quicker than Daniel Ricciardo.

  7. Lap 56/67published at 14:22 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Jenson Button is not too happy with another potential pit stop: "This could be tricky guys, this could destroy both of our races."

    Both him and team-mate Fernando Alonso are currently in the points at the moment. Alonso is 2.5s behind his McLaren team-mate in ninth.

  8. Lap 55/67published at 14:20 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Esteban Gutierrez is in danger of not getting the invite to nights out with the other drivers. He annoyed Lewis Hamilton by holding him up in Hungary, and now he's off Daniel Ricciardos's Christmas card list as the Red Bull struggles to lap the Haas.

    "Esteban is my favourite. I love this guy," says Ricciardo.

    "Rest assured he is doing that to everyone. Not just you."

  9. Rosberg told he has five-second penaltypublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Not the news anyone wants to hear, 'you have a five-second penalty'.

    Nico Rosberg was not too impressed. Listen to his reaction when he was told this earlier in the race with this BBC Radio 5 live clip.

    Media caption,

    Mercedes' Nico Rosberg is informed by his team he has to serve a five second penalty.

  11. 'Rosberg held for 8.3 seconds'published at 14:18 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    We've done some analysis for when Mercedes had to hold Rosberg for five seconds.

    By my reckoning 8.3 seconds is what they actually held him for. It is so uncharacteristic for them to take extra time. It was definitely longer than it needed to be and if I was Rosberg I would be fuming.

  12. Lap 53/67published at 14:18 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Valtteri Bottas is the only driver in the top 10 yet to make a third stop. He's seventh - 17 seconds behind Kimi Raikkonen in sixth.

  13. Lap 52/67published at 14:17 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Max Verstappen is creeping up on Daniel Ricciardo in second. Three seconds separate the two Red Bulls at the moment.

    Esteban Gutierrez, on the faster super-softs, passes Kevin Magnussen at the hairpin to move into 13th. Gutierrez has a lot of clear track in front of him now, with Sergio Perez 13 seconds ahead.

    Seventeen laps to go and Lewis Hamilton has a very quick Daniel Ricciardo behind him. The Red Bull is lapping six tenths quicker than the Mercedes and the gap is down to six seconds.

    "What's Nico's pace," asks Hamilton. I think he should be more concerned about Ricciardo right now.

    Vettel ignores team orders

    Reece Young: Love it when a driver overrules the team in regards to pitstops. Fair play Vettel.

    Bishop Yinkus: Is Vettel getting too big for his shoes at Ferrari? He is full of himself this days, no wonder he is falling back performance wise.

    Alex Withington: Ferrari have made a right spaghetti bolognese of Vettel's strategy there. Who is running the team?

  18. Lap 49/67published at 14:12 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    This is good stuff from McLaren. Jenson Button, remember, had that eye injury that limited his running in second practice but he's going well today. There's a real chance of both him and Fernando Alonso getting in the top 10.That would go some way to making up for "the race from hell" for Button in Hungary last-time out.

  19. Lap 48/67published at 14:10 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    So after the latest stops by the front runners, the top looks like this:

    1) Hamilton 2) Ricciardo 3) Verstappen 4) Rosberg 5) Vettel 6) Raikkonen 7) Bottas 8) Hulkenberg 9) Button 10) Alonso

  20. Lap 47/67published at 14:09 British Summer Time 31 July 2016

    Lewis Hamilton also puts from the lead. He's onto softs for the remainder of the race and resumes in the lead, 9.1s ahead of Daniel Ricciardo.
