    The two interventions of the safety car means we have had a safety car at every British Grand Prix since 2013. Can Valtteri Bottas hold on to his lead and win this race for the first time after coming second twice - in 2017 with Mercedes and 2014 with Williams?

    Bottas is so alert to Vettel's dummy. This is the first time we have seen this actual Mercedes-Ferrari wheel-to-wheel fight for a long a time.

    Bottas, Vettel, Hamilton and Raikkonen the fornt four, and you could throw a blanket over them. Just 1.5 second split the quartet.

    Decisions, decisions...

    Kayleigh: Literally don’t even know who I want to win this one now!

    Euan: Lap 42: The 2nd Safety Car has just gone. I am struggling to decide which I want more: a Ferrari win or Bottas to get the win he deserves.

    Thrilling duelling between Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel now. Nothing in it. Vettel goes for it... Bottas hangs on through Maggots and Becketts - this is superb stuff! Who's your money on now?
