    Such a beautifully executed overtaking move from Verstappen on Raikkonen. Verstappen just went for that line and Kimi looked like he was sleeping.

  2. Lap 14/56published at 20:30 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Worried that Max Verstappen might rein in his aggressive driving style after the FIA clamped down on his defensive manoeuvres? Worry not. He's just attacked Kimi Raikkonen with wonderful confidence, squeezing through the inside of the Finn to move into fifth before defending his position and then zooming off into the distance. Great driving.

    Meanwhile, Daniil Kvyat is handed a 10 second time penalty for causing a collision on the first lap.

    Fernando Alonso aint happy. He's currently 14th with a lot of yellow in front of him.

    "Behind the Renaults, what a disaster, what a disaster," he complains.

  4. Lap 11/56published at 20:24 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Now Lewis Hamilton does pit but he takes on a new set of soft boots. Mercedes are splitting their strategy.

    Hamilton is back out in second with Sebastian Vettel elevated to race leader for the time being. He hasn't stopped yet, though.

    Paul Collinson: "Had a couple of quid on Hulkenburg to be the first to retire....thank you muchly."

    Denislov Lietnev: "Please Lewis, win this race for your fans! We desperately need it as you do!"

  6. Lap 10/56published at 20:22 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Max Verstappen, back out on fresh softs, swoops down the inside of Jenson Button to get up to ninth.

    Meanwhile, you know that long game Mercedes were telling Nico Rosberg about? That appears to have been scrapped as he is brought in and he switches to mediums. 

    Hamilton stays out for now.

    Lap 10/56

    Confusion from Mercedes. They tell Nico Rosberg: "We are going for the long game, push hard now Nico."

    Rosberg replies: "Pushing hard is not the long game."

  8. Lap 9/56published at 20:20 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    So now Nico Rosberg is second behind Lewis Hamilton with 5.3 seconds between the two Mercedes.

    We've got another Red Bull going in, Max Verstappen pits but he started on softs. Seems early?

  9. Lap 8/56published at 20:18 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    "Box, Dan, Box".

    Daniel Ricciardo gets eight laps out of those super-softs and he pits for softs. He comes back out in eighth behind Fernando Alonso. 

    Will Mercedes respond to that move?

  13. Lap 6/56published at 20:16 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Powered by his anger, Sergio Perez has swiftly caught up to Daniil Kvyat and passes him at Turn 12 to move into 13th. He resists the urge to give Kvyat a piece of his mind as he swoops on by.

  14. Team radio - Sergio Perezpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Sergio Perez is not too impressed by the driving of Daniil Kvyat. 

    Perez says: "I got hit by the back, what an idiot."

  15. Postpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Swift work by the stewards. They've had a butchers and decided no further action is needed.

  16. Lap 5/56published at 20:13 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Esteban Ocon and Felipe Nasr, 19th and 20th respectively, are being investigated by stewards for forcing another car of the track.

    Scott Wiseman: Jenson Button has made a mega start! So good to see he's still got it in him! Come on McLaren.

    Matthew Rees: Rosberg clearly deserves to win the championship and I want the best driver to win it, not one who was born in the same country as me.

    Looking at the start again, Nico Rosberg tried to hold off Lewis Hamilton in the run-up to turn one and it gave Daniel Ricciardo an open invitation to go up the inside of Rosberg which he did brilliantly, and then did well to defend in turns two, three and four.

  19. Lap 4/56published at 20:11 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Crikey! Jenson Button's on a mission. He had a shocker in qualifying yesterday, failing to make it through to Q2 and lined up 19th on the grid today. He's vaulted up to 10th. Nice.

  20. Lap 3/56published at 20:10 British Summer Time 23 October 2016

    Out in front Lewis Hamilton is the fastest man on the circuit as he looks to pull away from Daniel Ricciardo. He's just done a 1:44.159 and 1.3 seconds ahead of Ricciardo. 

    Nico Rosberg is third with Kimi Raikkonen fourth and Max Verstappen fifth.
