Gunther Steiner, the team principal of Haas, is in turmoil on that pit wall.
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver
What is going on with these Haases in the pits? Are they overheating?
In the space of three laps the Haas cars have come to a stop after leaving the pits. It's very, very strange.
Lap 27/58
What is happening at Haas!
It's Deja vu as Romain Grosjean slows after his pit stop before coming to a halt.
Surely not the same problem as Kevin Magnussen? It does look like another problem with a wheel being attached.
Haas team principal Gunther Steiner looks beside himself!
Lap 26/58
Terrible Haas but great news for Daniel Ricciardo. He's up to fourth now as Romain Grosjean pits.

The Haas mechanics are shaking their head as they see Magnussen cruising around.

Magnussen was driving such a great race. It has all the hallmarks of an engine failure .He's getting out the car and he will be so gutted.
Lap 24/58
Oh now, disaster for Kevin Magnussen!
The Haas pits, moving onto supersofts but it looks like the left rear wheel was not properly attached!
Magnussen slows and then stops as one of the Haas team members shuffles out of the garage.
Lap 22/58
"Kevin Magnussen is starting to struggle," Daniel Ricciardo is told. With Max Verstappen fluffing his race so far, this is the Australian's chance to assert himself and give him the inter team bragging rights at the start of the season.
Verstappen pits from eighth, moving onto softs. The decision to start the race on the supersofts hasn't paid off.
Lap 21/58
Daniel Ricciardo, bidding to become the first Australian to finish on the podium in his home F1 race, is closing in on Romain Grosjean. The Red Bull 0.7 seconds behind the Haas.
Lap 20/58
Job done for Lewis Hamilton as also moves onto the softs and gets back out ahead of Kimi Raikkonen in second.
They'll both be going to the end of the race on those tyres.
Sebastian Vettel is now the race leader, but will need to stop.
Lap 19/58
Quick stop by Kimi Raikkonen as he rejoins the race in third place, getting back out just ahead of Kevin Magnussen.
"OK Lewis, box, box".
Here comes the Mercedes response.
Lap 18/58
Ferrari blink first as Kimi Raikkonen is the first of the front runners to pit. Soft tyres are being prepped.
Lap 17/58
Lewis Hamilton is managing his lead. Just as Kimi Raikkonen pumps in a new fastest lap of the race the Briton responds by going even quicker. His lead is 3.6 seconds now.
Lap 16/58
Max Verstappen, eighth after that earlier spin, is really struggling.
"I think there is something wrong, I have so much oversteer in the middle of the corners," he complains, frustration and worry in his voice.
Lap 15/58
Lots of smoke coming out of the back of Pierre Gasly's Toro Rosso as he limps back to the pits.
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver
When someone's a little bit lethargic and quiet in your ear, then it sets a little bit of a tone for your race.
Clearly Alonso is wanting a bit more fire and a bit more punch from his engineer.
Lap 15/58
Uh oh. Problems for Pierre Gasly. The Toro Rosso is circulating very slowly... problem with that Honda engine...?
Lap 14/58
Fernando Alonso, currently 10th, is informed about where Max Verstappen is after the Red Bull driver spins.
Alonso, somewhat unnecessarily, snaps back: “OK but speak up a little bit, it is a long race and you are losing the energy already.
"Mate I'm here racing with you, the energy is high. Come on let's do this," his race engineer responds.
Alonso trying to be driver and team manager at the moment.
Lap 13/58
"Try to close," Kimi Raikkonen his urged. The Finn responds with the fastest lap of the race - a 1:29.485.
Lewis Hamilton still pretty comfortable in front, however, with that gap now 2.7 seconds.

I thought Adrian Newey was about to break his pen in half when Verstappen lost it.
He's sat alongside Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and I think both men found that incredibly hard to watch.
