    Bottas is 11 seconds clear of Sebastian Vettel, who has pitted whereas the Finn hasn't.

    Lewis Hamilton is third, not too happy with drivers getting in his way.

    Stoffel Vandoorne is down in 16th, looking a long way away from a points chance. Time for a gamble on the ultrasofts.

    Are Mercedes keeping Valtteri Bottas out there to back Sebastian Vettel into Lewis Hamilton? Are team orders still going to play a point in this race, which remember, is still only race four in the calendar.

    That was Ricciardo so late on the brakes. He took it in as deep as he dared. Brilliant move, just swept around the outside.

    Daniel Ricciardo dives past Max Verstappen early at the first corner and the Dutchman is left trailing. Wonderful move.

    Yes, that prediction may well be very optimistic, but you never know what is going to happen.

    If the safety car comes out, Bottas will win. That's my prediction.

    "Blue flags," says Lewis Hamilton, referring to Brendon Hartley as he looks to lap the Toro Rosso.

    "Copy," is the reply.

    Hartley down in 15th, with his team-mate Pierre Gasly 14th after their qualifying drame when they nearly crashed into each other.

    Vettel is going through that period that Hamilton had which is struggling to get the tyre temperatures up.

    Neither Red Bull man has come in to the pits either, and are having a thrilling battle for fourth out on the track.

    It's not gone to plan for Lewis Hamilton. Listen below as he ran wide at the first corner.

    How long can Valtteri Bottas go on his original tyres? He leads, but not really as he will be coming in to the pits really soon.

    "It's difficult to get these tyres to warm up. Is there anything you can give me to warm these up?" Kimi Raikkonen reports calmly.

    "Understood," is the reply, much to the Iceman's frustration.

    "Can you help or what!?"

    Sebastian Vettel has an eight-second advantage over Lewis Hamilton with 20 laps to go.

    Vettel in and on to the red supersofts, the same tyre that Hamilton is on.

    Bottas leads, but has not pitted and it will be a massive shock if the Finn gets to win this one.

    Starting 20th, now eighth. That is the story for Romain Grosjean who says this race is "insane".

    Still waiting for a Vettel pitstop and also Red Bulls too, and don't forget Valtteri Bottas as well.
