Charging Ricciardo wins after Red Bull make crucial pit stop call
Verstappen hits Vettel trying to overtake him - Vettel 8th
Hamilton 4th after not making safety car pit stop
Both Toro Rossos collide, Hartley out
A positive for Lewis Hamilton is that he has closed the gap on Sebastian Vettel - down from 17 to 11 points.
Still, another race where a strategy mistake has cost them. Plenty for Mercedes to ponder.
Daniel Ricciardo is bouncing up and down in the cooldown room, desperate to get up on the podium.
"Let's do it," he says after finally getting the nod to go on up.

I am so pleased for Red Bull and especially Daniel Ricciardo. After Bahrain he had so much bad luck and it looked like it would continue after that fire yesterday.
I am sure the engineers would have had so much tension when he went for that overtake on Bottas.
These are the drivers you love to work with. They keep you on the edge of your seat. Riccardio was sublime today.

RantingMrP: Well done Daniel Ricciardo, what a victory, well done you super driver!
sparrow_jrs: Whilst the Red Bulls have done well, they were lucky in that the safety car was called at just the right time. Ironically, they were well behind the front runners at the time which allowed them the luxury of time to make the decision to pit as the safety car came out
Josh Gribby: This is the same Ricciardo who was two minutes away from not qualifying. Well done to the Red Bull team.
Incredible for Daniel Ricciardo! It was touch and go whether he would even take part in qualifying after an engine change but here he is - race winner.

That must have been so close to a collision. Alonso was risking everything with that move. He just forced Vettel off the road which is not really fair in my opinion.
Vettel has locked up again and now has Carlos Sainz catching him. He could finish ninth.
Lap 55/56
Sebastian Vettel locks up at the hairpin and Fernando Alonso gobbles up the opportunity, sweeping through on the inside! Alonso is up into seventh.
Lap 55/56
Onto the penultimate lap with Daniel Ricciardo cruising to victory - seven seconds clear of the field.
Shoey incoming...

This race has gone so sour for Vettel. He has no pace. He must be nursing some damage.
Lap 54/56
Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso is within DRS range of Sebastian Vettel. The Ferrari is looking way off the pace after that collision with Max Verstappen. Can Alonso take advantage?

It is frustrating for Hamilton because not for the first time he has potentially lost a Grand Prix victory to the pit wall.
In Melbourne it was a mess up with the timings and this time they have been trumped by Red Bull completely.
