  1. Sebastian VettelReuters

    Sebastian Vettel pits from sixth, takes on ultra-softs and is back out in seventh, behind Kimi Raikkonen.

    "Do you think we will get them at the end?" asks Vettel.

    "Yep, we think so. You should catch them with eight laps to go to battle."

    Stroll has just got to be patent. There are two or three points of the race track where the Williams has a much bigger straight line speed advantage. Don't try to overtake until the easy moment.

  4. Stoffel Vandoorne has defended for as long as he can but makes his first stop of the race now, leaving Lance Stroll to attack Fernando Alonso. The rookie versus the two-time world champion... and the rookie wins the battle as Stroll uses Mercedes power to move into P10. A round of applause in the Williams garage for that move.

    Lewis Hamilton has a 10 second lead over Valtteri Bottas out in front but the two Mercedes drivers are on different tyres. Hamilton is on super-softs while Bottas is on softs.

    Force India for a podium place? It's looking increasingly likely.

    Daniel Ricciardo is third but he's on slower rubber than Sergio Perez, who is fourth and just three tenths of a second behind the Red Bull.

    "Hold up Lance Stroll if you can," Stoffel Vandoorne is told by his McLaren race engineer. Vandoorne is 12th with Fernando Alonso 11th and on fresh rubber.

    It's a team game as they pursue their first points of the season and they want to give Alonso the best chance they can to get into the top 10.

  8. So will Sebastian Vettel pit again? He's currently sixth.

    Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso is in for his first stop of the race after squeezing in 42 laps on the ultra-softs. He takes on super-softs and is back out in 11th.

    "They have taken a gamble bringing Kimi in for a second time to see out the race on those tyres but he just didn't have the pace.

    "I will be surprised if we see Raikkonen making his way further up the field than he is currently - seventh."

  10. Kimi Raikkonen pitsRex Features

    Kimi Raikkonen pits again...

    "We're going to try something, Kimi," the Finn is informed.

    He's onto ultra-softs and resumes in seventh, behind his team-mate Sebastian Vettel.

  11. Lance Stroll overtakes Jolyon PalmerRex Features

    Lance Stroll can be pretty happy with how he has performed so far in front of his home fans. He's taken on and passed a couple of rivals and he is eyeing up a move on Romain Grosjean now for 13th.

  12. Team radio

    "We think everyone is on a one stop" says Hamilton's engineer...

  13. 'YOU ARE NOT GIVING ME USEFUL INFORMATION!'

    Alonso vents his frustration about a lack of detailed information

  14. Daniil KvyatGetty Images

    Daniil Kvyat is currently 10th but there's bad news for the Russian. Stewards have just given him a 10 second penalty because it was felt that the original drive-through penalty "was incorrect". That will drop him to 11th.

  16. Sebastian VettelGetty Images

    Despite driving a damaged car, Sebastian Vettel is doing OK. He's just gone faster than anyone on that last lap with a 1:16.3.

  17. Sebastian Vettel is currently seventh but his Ferrari has been in the wars today. He's running with a bit of damage to the floor.

    Without trying to encourage the commentator's curse, this is Hamilton's race to lose.

  19. Everyone in the top 10 apart from Fernando Alonso has stopped now. It means we have a Mercedes one-two at the front of the pack, with Lewis Hamilton 10.4 seconds clear of Valtteri Bottas. Daniel Ricciardo is third.
