    Mercedes tell Nico Rosberg: "We are expecting the rain to pick up in 10 or 15 minutes."

  7. Top 10 - looking good for Verstappenpublished at 16:39 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    1 Hamilton; 2 Rosberg; 3 Raikkonen; 4 Verstappen; 5 Hulkenberg; 6 Perez; 7 Sainz; 8 Nasr; 9 Ricciardo; 10 Ocon

    So Verstappen in fourth despite making the switch to inters. That could be crucial to the outcome of this race. Surely the three ahead of him will have to switch to inters at some point.

  10. Red Bulls pit - masterstroke or illegal?published at 16:35 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    So after that safety car was called, Verstappen dived into the pits in for intermediates and Ricciardo came in moments later.

    We think Verstappen got in before the pit lane was closed but Ricciardo maybe didn't.

    Watch this space.

  11. Safety carpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    Marcus Ericsson's Sauber is off. Again it's the run out of the final turn causing the problems.

    "Aquaplane," is Ericsson's message on the radio.

    Safety car out.

    That spin for Vettel was a very dramatic moment. The four time world champion, we heard him on the radio earlier talking about the appalling conditions. It is a slow pit stop as well for him, having lost even more time.

  15. Team radio - Nico Rosbergpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    Rosberg is asked if he wants to come into the pits give the fact the drivers who have switched to inters are going faster. He says: "No way, too early."

    Interesting.

  16. Spin!published at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    Vettel off in Juncao.

    He continues and retreats to the pits, where his team has trouble on the left rear - costing him more time. Disaster for the Ferrari man.

    Replays show Vettel only just avoided being collected by Hulkenberg's Force India as he span the wrong way up the track. 

  17. Inters going onpublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 13 November 2016

    Renault's Magnussen is the first man to switch from wets to inters and immediately he's faster.

    Button's McLaren is the next one in followed by a host of midfielder runners - Alonso, the Williams cars , Kvyat, Ericsson and Palmer.
