Why bring Hamilton into the pits? He was quicker than Bottas on those tyres.
I smell a rat. I think Mercedes want Bottas to win this grand prix and that is why they pitted Hamilton when they did.
Hamilton pits, a stop of 2.4 seconds, but he returns to the track behind team-mate Valtteri Bottas. Hamilton had been posting some good times, so might not be too happy at that pit stop.

Red Bull are set to be holding contract talks with Ricciardo in the winter, with the Australian's current deal up at the end of next season.
This retirement, his sixth of 2017, and his third in four races, will not help those contract talks one bit.

What is very frustrating for Daniel Ricciardo is he was in a close fight for fourth, if he cares, with Kimi Raikkonen just seven points behind in the drivers' championship.
If Kimi finishes in his current fourth place he will take fourth in the championship.
"We have got a hydraulic problem we have to switch off, sorry about that," Daniel Ricciardo is told.

Romain Grosjean has just got the jump on to an unexpecting Nico Hulkenberg at turn one, but the advantage does not last long as the Renault man returns to 11th.

Rachel: Come on Lewis Hamilton. It is Prosecco for me tonight if you win!

How much do Mercedes want Lewis Hamilton to win this?
If they were fighting for the championship they would bring Hamilton in. He is not getting the DRS advantage.
There is a massive gap between Ricciardo fourth and Hulkenberg in fifth. If Hamilton pitted he would come out there and have clear track in front of him.
I would roll the dice now and see if he can get ahead of Bottas but Mercedes may want Bottas to win this race and see if he can get second place in the championship.

Image source, Rex FeaturesTerrible scenes for Toro Rosso as Pierre Gasly spins around and is left facing the wrong way.
"Car OK?" he is asked. "I lost the rear completely," said Gasly, who is able to carry on.
It has been a woeful weekend so far and that sees him drop down to 17th. Toro Rosso are in sixth in the constructors' championship, but could well fall to eighth.
Top eight...

Max Verstappen is the first of the leading bunch to come into the pits, he had been in sixth.

Still no change in the top 12 places. Not the spectacular end to the season we were hoping for so far, but there is a long, long way to go so stay with us.
