Max Verstappen is into the wall!
Moments after pitting for more super-softs his brakes fail and he goes straight on at Turn 4.

BBC Radio 5 live Formula 1 analystWe have really got a three way battle for the lead of this race now!
But even Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo in fourth and fifth aren't too far behind.
The top three cars are within three seconds of each other - this is proper Formula 1 racing!
Hopefully Kimi Raikknonen can close the gap and make it a six way battle for the lead.

Next up for Raikkonen is Daniel Ricciardo, who is a sizeable four seconds down the road.
