Michael Heal: Red Bull have played a blinder here. Daniel Ricciardo showing the F1 world what he is capable of. Yet again an error from Verstappen. He needs a clean weekend soon

Bottas has shown lot more mettle today than he did last week. There has been a bit more edge in wheel-to-wheel action.

Hamilton has got to get over those tyres. There is no point worrying about it now. It is important he gets his head down and stays within 10 seconds.

It is a tough ask for Verstappen to clear Hamilton by 10 seconds before the end of the race.

RegularJon: Verstappen interfering with the championship yet again. How unlucky is Lewis, taken by Kimi after the crash as he couldn’t go anywhere else
Rimal: Oh dear oh dear - Why is Verstappen always praised for his overtaking when Dan has shown he does it more cleanly
Alex Withington: Must be a penalty for Verstappen. Great talent but he's wasting it at the moment

That was not a necessary move for Verstappen. I think he will get a time penalty. He didn't need to be doing that. He was too far back.
