    Lap 35/57

    Nico Hulkenberg (right), Esteban Ocon (centre) and Fernando Alonso (not in picture) were all overtaken in the same corner by a flying Lewis Hamilton in one of the moments of the race. One of the moments of any race.

    Back to that Magnussen / Grosjean incident.

    What a waste of time that was by Grosjean, holding his team-mate up like that. He lost at least a second there.

    Magnussen is eight, Grosjean 14th.

  4. 'Hamilton drove into my rear tyre'

    Lap 33/57

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Max Verstappen, speaking to the media: "I had a good run onto the straight, going through the inside and of course you try and squeeze each other a bit. He [Hamilton] drove into my rear tyre."

  5. 'It was as if I'd turned the car off'

    Lap 32/57

    Daniel Ricciardo, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live on his retirement: "Just power, everything switched off. It was as if I'd turned the car off myself, no warning it just turned off.

    "It was a quick death, not slow and painful. I have two hours of energy stored up in me and I don't know what to do with it now."

  6. Spectacular

    Lap 32/57

    Sparks pictures always look spectacular. Under lights. Even more so.

  7. When team-mates get angry

    Nightmare for Haas! Magnussen is so much quicker, he is not in the same fight as Grosjean.

    Magnussen on the team radio: "Tell him to get out of the way." There was a bit more he said which we can't repeat.

  8. Alonso team radio

    McLaren team radio: Sainz, who was behind us, has pitted again. This might start the second wave.

    Alonso: Too early.

  9. Lap 30/57

    Don't go anywhere. We are at the lap 30 out of 57 mark. Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas are both potential winners here.

    Kimi Raikkonen is third and Lewis Hamilton, who began ninth, is fourth.

    Good stuff.

  17. Lap 27/57

    In comes Lewis Hamilton into the pits. It is a one-stop strategy for the world champion. He comes out in fourth, with Valtteri Bottas in second and the Finn is behind Sebastian Vettel but ahead of Kimi Raikkonen.

    Ferrari, Mercedes, Ferrari, Mercedes. We have a race on, the Ferraris will probably have to stop again, but the Mercedes probably not.

  18. Vettel leads again

    Lap 26/57

    Sebastian Vettel has the greater pace and the fresher tyres and gets past Lewis Hamilton. New race leader.

    That means I would imagine that Hamilton's Plan A is Bottas' Plan B - both on one stops.

  20. Mercedes team radio

    Mercedes race engineer to Bottas: You are doing a good job but remember we are on Plan B.
