  4. Hulkenberg pitspublished at 17:28 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    Nico Hulkenberg's Force India picked up damage after driving through debris from Raikkonen's crash. We know he's had a new front wing but now it seems he's had a puncture. He's in for new extreme wets.  

    Order: 1 Hamilton; 2 Rosberg; 3 Verstappen; 4 Perez; 5 Sainz; 6 Nasr; 7 Ricciardo; 8 Ocon; 9 Wehrlein, 10 Alonso

    Hamilton changes back to his white helmet for the re-start, presumably because the yellow one was leaking water.

    All the cars are in the pit lane right now. They will head out onto the track and form up behind the safety car again.

    Listen again to BBC Radio 5 live commentary as Marcus Ericsson crashes in the wet conditions during the Brazilian Grand Prix.

  13. Race to restart at 15:21 local timepublished at 17:16 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    That's 17:21 GMT folks.

  14. What if the race cannot be finished?published at 17:15 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    We're entering the murky waters of half points being awarded here, folks. 

    If this race has to be called off before three quarters of the distance (lap 53) has been completed, half points will be awarded.

    So 12.5 will go to Hamilton and nine to Rosberg. That would take the title to the wire in Abu Dhabi, where Rosberg would be defending a 15.5-point cushion.

  15. Penalties for Ricciardo and Massapublished at 17:06 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    We said they were under investigation and they've both now learned their fates.

    Five-second penalties have been handed to Massa for overtaking before the safety car line and Ricciardo for entering the pit lane when it was closed.

    Jade MacFarlane: There is definitely a guardian angel watching over the drivers today!

    The_Reckonist: No one can look at Kimi's crash and think "F1 is so safe these days" Terrifying.

    Jonathan Orchard: Drivers cant race, conditions are ridiculous, think its safer to end this race now #BlackFlagIt, external

    "For those of you asking: #Kimi7, external is ok," Ferrari say on their official Twitter account.

  19. Verstappen almost joined Kimipublished at 17:03 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    We've just seen a replay of Verstappen almost losing it it down the pit straight at the very moment Raikkonen crashed. 

    They were running third and fourth at the time so clearly the both caught the same patch of standing water. 

    It was a stunning save by the Dutchman to prevent an even bigger incident.

    We also had some delayed radio from Verstappen: "I almost lost it on the straight and I am not even pushing."  

  20. 'Calm before another storm'published at 17:01 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    Meanwhile, in the pits...

    I'm not allowed to cross the red line at the end of the pit lane. Fernando Alonso's McLaren is in front of me, it is a very calm atmosphere I'm witnessing, it is the calm before another storm.

    We are just waiting to hear from Charlie Whiting. He is trying to predict what the weather is going to do.
