  1. Lap 3/71published at 19:11 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    Lewis Hamilton reports front vibration after that lock up at Turn 1 but as soon as the safety car disappears, so too does the Briton into the distance. He's 1.2 seconds clear of Nico Rosberg and getting quicker.

    Benedict Salido: Hamilton already cheating on the first lap. Definitely gained advantage on that cut.  

    Nick Holland: Top call from RBR ditching softer tyres at the earliest opportunity.. effectively one stop available in the higher temps  

    Loudly Curious: Dodgy from Rosberg. I love the man, and there's probably very little else he could have done, but can't argue if penalised

    The stewards will be looking at the replays very closely as it certainly looks like Nico Rosberg gained a position by short-cutting turn two.

  4. Lap 2published at 19:09 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    The incident involving Nico Rosberg and Max Verstappen is under investigation.

    Virtual safety car in on this lap.

  6. Lap 1published at 19:08 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    That was a big, big lock up for Lewis Hamilton at Turn One. It also looked like Nico Rosberg got back in front of the Red Bull as he cut across the grass. Will he have to give that position up?

    The collision further down the grid involved Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein, ending the latter's race.

  7. Lap 1published at 19:06 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    Daniel Ricciardo pits and bins the super-softs. He is onto mediums.

    Lap 1

    There was drama further down the grid and Sebastian Vettel is on the radio to state he has a puncture.

    Virtual safety car is deployed and several drivers dive into the pits.

    Kayleigh: Come on Nico, let's do this!  

    Claire Cottingham: Unbelievable crowds! I can actually feel the atmosphere building through my radio.

    Rich Carey: C'mon, let's get these Mercs best.  

  10. Lap 1published at 19:04 Greenwich Mean Time 30 October 2016

    There was also a contact between Max Verstappen and Nico Rosberg, forcing the Mercedes wide at Turn 1 also. Drama! 

    Lewis Hamilton, though, holds the lead.

    The cars slowly weave their way through the stadium section before Lewis Hamilton pulls into his position at the front of the grid.

    It is a massive crowd and the whole of Formula 1 is appreciating the effort that has gone in here and the magnificent support.

    It's a huge atmosphere here.

    Off come the tyre covers and away go the cars on the formation lap.

    Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are on the softs, as are Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel, who start from sixth and seventh respectively.

    The rest of the top 10 are on super-softs.

    It feels like the pressure is on Nico Rosberg. He has had a slightly scrappy weekend. Lewis has had a terrific advantage over Nico and everyone else and has said there is more to come.

    It feels like Rosberg is slightly on the back foot and of course he has the big pressure right behind him from the two Red Bull cars.

    Will the world championship battle be decided in the next couple of hours? We're minutes away from lights out.

    It's an 800m run down to Turn One. Will we see any drama there?
