  8. Lap 30/71

    The battle for ninth

    Speaking of Sergio Perez, he is practically glued to the back of Felipe Massa's Williams. He's searching for the chance to pass him but Massa is not giving him one yet. 

  10. Get Involved #bbcf1

    Dan Everitt: Turn 1, Hamilton had nothing to gain and all to lose. Glad he came out ok  

    David Nicholson-Hirst: This circuit is just too tight to overtake, if I was leading in a Skoda then you would still struggle to get past me here  

    Sean Harrison: Rosberg:"Why is Max pushing?" Because this is an F1 race Nico. The idea is to finish in front of everyone else  

  11. Lap 29/71

    Those radio messages from Lewis Hamilton, obviously looking for any piece of information he can if these tyres aren't giving him the balance or the grip he was wanting.

  13. Lap 28/71

    Evidently Lewis Hamilton doesn't fancy getting to the end of this race on those mediums. He's second, five seconds ahead of Nico Rosberg but the latter is lapping one tenth quicker than Hamilton at the moment.

    This has been a good drive from Vettel and it was a frustrating qualifying for the Ferrari team, they really didn't know why they ended up so far back.

    Vettel has managed this first stint really well.

    Vettel is lapping 3/10ths of a second faster than the Mercedes drivers behind him. Vettel was happy with the balance of his car during Q2 but went slower in Q3.

    He is going to come in at some point, put a new set of mediums on and go until the end of the race.

  18. Lap 26/71

    Sebastian Vettel is doing a fine job of looking after his tyres. He's gone 26 laps into the race on softs and is lapping three tenths quicker than Lewis Hamilton. Four seconds separate the two.

  19. Lap 25/71

    Sergio Perez attacks Felipe Massa down into Turn One, there's a huge roar from the home fans for the Mexican driver as he pulls up alongside the Williams but he runs wide and Massa holds onto ninth.
