    Jeremiah Kariuki: Kimi is the driver of the day! Dropping 4 places and picking that again to move 5 ahead is a good drive.

    "You are clear to push now Kimi. Clear to push now," Kimi Raikkonen is told.

    The Finn flat bats the comment.

    "I am pushing all the time!"

    He's currently fifth, 18.6 seconds behind Valtteri Bottas.

    Best mention the race leader, hadn't I?

    Lewis Hamilton is tootling along nicely with the gap between himself and Max Verstappen up slightly to 2.7s.

    I wonder if Ricciardo has a problem. He ran longer than Verstappen but is losing big chunks of time.

    Valtteri Bottas makes up half a second on Daniel Ricciardo on his latest lap and the gap between the two is down to a touch under five seconds. The Finn is on faster tyres, so could be on for a podium here.

    Felipe Massa is indeed struggling and Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean take full advantage, squeezing past the Williams.

    "Good boy," shouts Magnussen's race engineer.

    Nico Hulkenberg pits and a mechanic heads to the rear of his car, gives his DRS a couple of thumps with his fist but it doesn't work. He's retiring.

  10. Postpublished at Lap 40/53

    The Renaults pit for super-softs and Nico Hulkenberg comes back out in 11th while Jolyon Palmer 13th.

    Trouble for Hulkenberg, though. "My DRS is stuck open," he reports. He's going to have to pit.

    I really feel in these conditions Vettel's Ferrari would have been good. We have already heard Hamilton is struggling with his tyres. I don't think Hamilton quite feels the same pressure with Verstappen behind him compared to Vettel. If it had have been Vettel would he have had to push harder?

    Hamilton has again lost three tenths in the middle sector before making it up in the final sector. Verstappen is keeping the pressure on. He is just a little far away to be properly challenging but Hamilton will be aware that the Red Bull driver is ambitious after last week's win.

    It almost says more that Sebastian Vettel has left the track than if he stayed and was monosyllabic in an interview.

    The fact he doesn't want to talk emphasises what he thinks about his title challenge.

    Lewis Hamilton is maintaining his advantage over Max Verstappen with the gap between the two having stuck at 2.4s for a few laps now.

    It seems Sebastian Vettel doesn't fancy seeing how his title rival gets on. He's apparently already left the circuit.

    A good race so far for Renault with Nico Hulkenberg sixth and Jolyon Palmer ninth. Neither have stopped yet, though.

    Back in the Renault garage German footballer Lukas Podolski is watching on.

    There's a train of cars from 11th with Kevin Magnussen leading Romain Grosjean and Pierre Gasly.

    Gasly is given a nudge of encouragment to attack.

    "If we can get past these cars there are points available because Felipe Massa (10th) is struggling," the Frenchman is told.

    It's not looking good for a points finish for McLaren. Fernando Alonso is 15th, stuck behind Lance Stroll, while Stoffel Vandoorne is 16th and has just made his second stop of the race, moving onto super-softs.
