    This picture of the Ferraris coming unstuck at the start of this race is absolutely stunning.

    An iconic F1 image right there.

    Is it dry enough to risk dry tyres? It is not far away, we are not seeing any spray kicking up.

    He's actually just improved to P8 after Lance Stroll made a mistake in the Williams.

    Daniel Ricciardo's race engineer: What do you think of the conditions?

    Ricciardo: Some parts are a bit dry but the wet parts are still too wet.

    Hamilton is still in the 2:01s. The times are improving only by fractions.

    I think we're all surprised by how slowly this track is drying.

    His lead over Ricciardo is 3.5s. Bottas is another seven second back.

    The track is taking a while to dry. Lewis Hamilton needs the track to dry as soon as possible so he can make the stop to move onto dry tyres.

    Massa finally comes in to get rid of his extreme wet tyres. They should have been binned a long time ago and he drops to 15th and last.

    Magnussen and Massa are having a right old battle. They touched down the back straight and then had another nibble o the exit of Turn Seven, before Magnussen got the pass done into T8.

    Brilliant, hair-raising driving.

    Lewis Hamilton: Definitely harder to drop Ricciardo since he's on those fresh tyres...

    Times coming down now...

    Hamilton is into the 2:01s territory now.

    His gap to Ricciardo is over two seconds now.

    What's the crossover for slick tyres going to be?

    Sebastian Vettel has just been speaking to the media about the first lap incident: "I didn't see that much. I saw Max and then the next thing I see is Max and Kimi hitting me somewhere.

    "It doesn't change much, obviously we are not in the race and can't show the pace we have."

    No dramas for Hamilton off the restart. He's well clear of Ricciardo and the gap is already out to 1.6s.

    Ricciardo needs this track to dry up.

    Lewis Hamilton's race engineer said to him if they had swapped him over and put him onto different tyres he would have been P2 because Red Bull would have done the opposite.
