Lap 56/78
Nico Hulkenberg gets past Carlos Sainz, well, is allowed past by his team-mate as Hulkenberg is on the much fresher tyres. It is good driving from Sainz as Hulkenberg gets past before Sainz shuts the door on Max Verstappen just behind him.
Alonso's retirement now means Verstappen is in 10th and on course for one point after starting right at the back.

Ricciardo's lead is still 1.4 seconds over Vettel at the front. Still a masterclass in how to manage a car with power problems from the Australian.

For a long time Lewis Hamilton has been moaning about his tyres. Time to ditch them for a new set and give it a push? Stick or twist? Safe or gamble?
