    "Something's flapping on my front tyre," Hamilton tells his team.

    Could have been a leaf.

    Whatever it was it ain't there now.

  3. Hulkenberg pitspublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 17 September 2017

    A terminal problem for the Renault driver, who looked on course for a podium at one point in this race.

    He retires, elevating Esteban Ocon's Force India into 10th place.

    That's 129 races now without a podium for Hulkenberg - a new (unwanted) record.

    Mercedes to Lewis Hamilton: We want to keep the field compressed. We don't want to give anyone a free stop if a safety car comes.

    Hamilton: I don't get your tactic. It doesn't feel comfortable driving off pace.

    Mercedes: If you are not comfortable, you can dictate the pace.

    No dramas at Mercedes it would appear. Hamilton is matching and bettering Ricciardo's pace again and the gap is stabilised at around 2s.

    Textbook from Hamilton throughout this race but now the gloves are off. Hamilton has much more to lose than Ricciardo so expect Ricciardo to really lean on him but does he have the pace?

    We are about to find out.

    Verstappen and Raikkonen have been speaking to the media. Raikkonen said "I don't know, there is always different views and I could not do anything to avoid it".

    To recap, Vettel earlier said "not ideal is it, I don't really know what happened".
