'I think this was the maximum today'published at 20:55 British Summer Time 10 June 2018
Valtteri Bottas, who finished second: "Since lap one, they seemed to be a bit quicker. They controoled the race and we got into a little trouble in the end with running out of fuel.
"I think this was the maximum today. From second place today, we maxed out, but I'm disappointed."

Sebastian Vettel, race winner: "Unbelievable. I said yesterday how much this place means for Ferrari. After a long stretch of not winning here I saw the people around here and they are super happy.
"There is still a long way to go (in the championship) so I'm not too bothered. It is a good side effect. To have a Ferrari win and me driving it makes me very proud."

Christopher Burns‏: Yet another race that could cure insomnia. And this is usually an awesome race. What's gone wrong this year?

Anyway, it will make absolutely no difference to the top six.

Slight confusion here with that early chequered flag, as to when that race actually finished. It's not the first time there has been a flag cock-up - you might remember Pele forgetting about the flag altogether in Brazil in 2002.

'Not ideal'published at 20:38 British Summer Time 10 June 2018
BBC Radio 5 live
Lance Stroll, who was involved in a spectacular crash with Brendon Hartley in the opening lap, tells BBC Radio 5 live: "I'm fine. I had a good start, gained a few positions, was side by side with Brendon, the car got loose, I corrected it but there was not much room for both of us.
"When I corrected it, we touched and he went into the wall. "It is not ideal but that is racing."

Lap 65/70
As it stands, Sebastian Vettel will go top of the drivers' championship by one point as things stand. Vettel will get 25, while Hamilton will pick up 10 points for fifth.
Hamilton would get 12 points for fourth, which is why catching Daniel Ricciardo would mean so much to him.
