Daniel Ricciardo took fourth, and Sebastian Vettel took fifth - after all the controversy he caused at the start. Well done to Charles Leclerc, by the way, who ends a superb weekend by finishing in the points. He's 10th. Romain Grosjean, in 11th, still awaits his first points of the season.

Max Verstappen is second, Kimi Raikkonen third.

Valtteri Bottas makes a late bid for sixth, chasing down Kevin Magnussen... but can't get there, and has to settle for seventh.

The VSC is a blessing for Sainz. He is going slowly but the others behind him have to slow down.

The virtual safety car ends with half a lap to go...

Does this mean we will go to the end behind the virtual safety car? Let's hope whoever is waving the chequered flag this time doesn't accidentally declare it the winner...

Sainz, who drops places: "Come on!"

Renault: "We are looking into it - keep pushing."

Lap 50/53

Lance Stroll has a tyre blow out... He's been on those since Lap 1, and they could take no more. He's off and that's the Williams man out of the race.

Carlos Sainz has lost power! Agony for Renault - his sixth place is looking very shaky now... Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas go past, and he's down to eighth.

Listen as Fernando Alonso reveals his frustration at his French Grand Prix race.

• Sebastian Vettel hits Valtteri Bottas on the first corner. Both sustain damage but are able to carry on although they are then at the back. Vettel had to serve a five-second penalty for the offence. He is now up to fifth.
• Bottas had got back up to sixth, but had to pit again and a slow stop hurts him. He is now eighth.
• Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon are out on the first lap after Gasly spun and hit Ocon.
• Sergio Perez has to pull out on lap 30 because of an engine issue
• Polesitter Lewis Hamilton leads by more than four seconds, with Max Verstappen second and Kimi Raikkonen third.

Kimi Raikkonen goes for Daniel Ricciardo on the Mistral straight - and gets him! Just before the chicane, the Finn is through, and up to third.

Stoffel Vandoorne races past his McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso, in what can only be described as the battle for 12th. It's sad to see a former world champion reduced to this.

Fernando Alonso, despite the grumpiness he expressed over the McLaren radio a few laps ago, is still out there, in 12th place. There are 17 drivers still out there - Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez are the three who have retired.

Kimi Raikkonen, in fourth, is closing on Daniel Ricciardo, in third. Raikkonen, after his poor finish to qualifying yesterday, could do with a podium finish today.

Lewis Hamilton remains on course to win - he leads Max Verstappen by more than five seconds.

I just asked the team if there was a specific reason Bottas came in - he had tyre vibrations and a lack of rubber.

Remember, Vettel has now served his five-second penalty.
