Valtteri Bottas digs into his pace reserves to whack in the fastest lap of the race so far - a 1:48.616 - and that takes a half-a-second-sized bite out of Sebastian Vettel's advantage over him. The Finn is five seconds behind Vettel in third.

Felipe Massa has been the biggest mover on the track so far. He's gained five places and is currently loitering just outside the top 10 in 11th.

It is fair to say Fernando Alonso's radio messages have been the most entertaining thing about this race so far. Not one that will make the classics documentaries at the moment.

Grosjean: "Carlos Sainz cut the corner - he must have gained an advantage. I would have DRS if he didn't."
Engineer: "Understood, we are reporting it now".

Kimi Raikkonen is not happy about his 10-second penalty."What do you mean? He was on the side of the road!" he says about Max Verstappen.
He comes in to serve his penalty, is back out in eighth and a bit more chipper.
"My car is actually really nice now," he says.

A blow for Kimi Raikkonen. He is deemed not to have slowed down for the yellows when Max Verstappen retired and he is slapped with a 10 second stop/go penalty.

Image source, EPALewis Hamilton's pace on the softs is concerning Ferrari. They pit Sebastian Vettel, hoping to get him back out on softs ahead of the Briton but they are not quick enough. Hamilton is second and then picks off Kimi Raikkonen coming out of Eau Rouge to reclaim the race lead.

Daniel Ricciardo pits from fifth, goes on to super-softs and retains his position when he heads back out.
Meanwhile, hammertime indeed because Lewis Hamilton is flying on those softs, closing in on second-place Kimi Raikkonen.

Being part of a team's pit crew is a high pressure role most of the time so I can't imagine how daredevil Guy Martin is feeling. This is first experience of it... but he nails it, getting the tyre on Felipe Massa's Williams with no drama.
