Sebastian Vettel locks up, but keeps his car on the streets. That could be it now for Ricciardo though. The 25 points could well be his.

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveI was about to pin that on Leclerc but the problem was clearly the brakes. He tried to avoid the big smash, he was right on the side of the kerb. A real shame for Leclerc at his home race.

Lap 72/78

How different this race could have been if Max Verstappen had not got acquainted with the wall yesterday. Still, the Dutchman has got himself up to ninth, seeing if he can get the jump on Nico Hulkenberg in eighth.
