    It's always better to lead a championship than to chase one - especially as he has been chasing since Melbourne back in March.

    However, we are coming up to races that suit Ferrari much more. The fight is still on.

    Hamilton is three points ahead of Sebastian Vettel in the drivers championship and that, psychologically, is huge.

    Kimi Raikkonen takes fifth in the second Ferrari, while Esteban Ocon is sixth for Force India.

    The Williams cars had a great scrap on that last lap but Lance Stroll did enough to finish ahead of Felipe Massa, while the second Force India of Sergio Perez watched them scrap all the way to the flag as he took ninth.

    Tenth goes to Max Verstappen after that earlier crash damage.

    A cruise home for Hamilton surely.

    Ricciardo on Vettel is not going to happen, sadly.

    All very needless and silly.

    Ricciardo has set a fastest lap of 1:23.361 and is now just 4.3s behind Vettel.

    Three laps to go.

    Haas driver Kevin Magnussen: "If that is allowed, it's crazy. That can't be allowed. "

    Haas pitwall: "Copy that - we are reporting it to Charlie"

    Verstappen is going to be investigated for "forcing another driver off the track" after that tangle with Magnussen into the second chicane.

    Magnussen has been bleating about it over the radio but there didn't seem to be much in it.

    Good, forceful driving by Verstappen.

    Get on and race!

    I spoke to Toto Wolff on the BBC F1 podcast this week and he said it is "a no brainer" to keep Bottas next year.

    However, he did say they don't want to be caught out in the madness of the driver market with some "big names" potentially becoming available.

    Max Verstappen being one of them...

  17. Bottas doing the business againpublished at 14:12 British Summer Time 3 September 2017

    Valtteri Bottas has got to be considered for Mercedes next year. He is only on a one-year contract but he is the perfect support for Lewis Hamilton.

  18. Verstappen back into the pointspublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 3 September 2017

    Verstappen looks like making the most of a difficult day at the office. He's pulled off a few decent moves against the midfield runners and has just out-braked Kevin Magnussen's Haas into the first chicane.

    Magnussen then goes off track at the second chicane as he tries to fight back.

    P10 for the Red Bull man.

  20. Hamilton heading for title leadpublished at 14:08 British Summer Time 3 September 2017

    A reminder that if it stays this way then Lewis Hamilton will take the lead of the championship for the first time.

    Twenty-five points today allied to 15 for Vettel will put the Briton three ahead going into the race in Singapore.
