    So what do Ferrari do? Valtteri Bottas let his faster team-mate by but will Sebastian Vettel do likewise? Vettel leads Raikkonen by 1.2 seconds while Lewis Hamilton is the same distance behind the Finn.

    And Lewis Hamilton is also tearing it up on the track. He's faster than Valtteri Bottas and Mercedes know it.

    "OK Lewis, Valtteri will let you pass. The Ferraris are up ahead."

    Bottas obliges and up goes Hamilton into third.
