    Daniel Ricciardo has been talking to the media a moment ago having been taken out of the race by his team mate Verstappen.

    "I didn't really know what happened. It's just frustrating - it was not even an overtaking move.

    "It was an emotional response.

    "In that moment the team said sorry and they will speak to Max. Let's see if he acts his age or like a man about it....

    "I could go and call him names after the accident but if he starts bringing in other excuses in then we will have a problem".

    Closest battle on the track at the moment is the battle for 10th. Nico Hulkenberg is a second behind Esteban Ocon, the Renault a tenth of a second quicker on the last lap. Shouldn't be long before Hulkenberg makes his move to get into the top 10.

    Kevin Magnussen, who is currently 13th, can't find any grip today...

    "I think the tyres are fine but there is no grip - I feel like I'm driving on oil all the time."

    "That's the general feeling from everyone at the moment" comes the reply.

    Daniel Ricciardo does his best to keep his cool as he speaks to Sky Sports about that clash with Max Verstappen at the start of the race, but it is pretty clear he is fuming inside.

    "That was amateur to say the least," he says. "It’s not like he was trying to pass. He doesn't like people passing him."
