Hamilton is third - a podium place - after starting 21st.

Next up, Daniel Ricciardo...

Vicky Sanderson: Max complains when people wreck his race yet plays dirty the rest of the time? He is out of order! Teenage idiot!

Bishop Yinkus: Verstappen need a talking to seriously, this is not on as it's very dangerous.

Nick Hughes: I'm all for aggressive driving but I'm sorry, that's a penalty against Verstappen. Forcing Raikkonen wide & a late move.

Jolyon Palmer is told by Renault his tyres are too hot. The response is: "WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT IT."

He's in P13.

Here is the BBC Radio 5 live commentary of the moment Kevin Magnussen had a huge crash, which he walked away from.

At the front of the race, Rosberg has created a 1.5sec gap on Ricciardo, but that has steadied now and they're lapping with similar times.

It's going to be an absolute ding dong between Raikkonen and Verstappen.

Here's a radio message from Raikkonen - most of it is unusable. Absolute potty mouth from the Finn.

Needless to say he is unhappy with Verstappen's defensive tactics.

"Do I have to let the Red Bull (Max Verstappen) past? His only interest is to push me off the track."

And on the same straight it's more handbags between Raikkonen and Verstappen.

Raikkonen has the pace to go past the Red Bull but Verstappen returns on turn seven and Raikkonen heads off the track, returning ahead of Verstappen.

Raikkonen has to relinquish the place.

And Hamilton has him, using his straight-line speed to whizz past Alonso on the Kemmel Straight. He's up to fourth.

Now, there could be fireworks.

Hamilton is trying to find an opening to get past Alonso.

Fernando Alonso has got the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He can see a decent points position finish here.

Raikoonen came out of the pits last but is up into 15th an is all over the back of Verstappen.

Jack Degge: Alonso and Hamilton taking the Kipling approach to F1, “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs...”

Stuart Fraser: It's great to see Kevin walking away shows how good the safety is in F1. Bit scary that the head rest came out so easily though.

Denislov Lietnev: I reckon Rosberg must be jittery by the events that helped Hamilton be just four cars behind him.

And the cars are free to race as Alonso instantly tries to go past Hulkenberg and Massa almost takes on Hamilton.
