Max Verstappen skips across the grass at Chapel curve, allowing Kimi Raikkonen to attack and move past into fourth... Some effort when you consider he had a 10-second penalty...

Carlos Sainz: "I was in front of him, he understeered into me for sure."
For balance, I will point out that Romain Grosjean's account on his team radio is a little different. Anyone who has ever tried to make a claim for a motoring accident will be familiar with these differences of opinion...

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveI don't think Grosjean particularly was the guilty party here. I think it was a racing incident. Grosjean had such a small amount of room to play with.

Kayleigh: Fantastic racing from Kimi and Max!
Dennis Ethan: This is exhilarating.
Andrew Priestley: Great to watch a GP on a track were overtaking is actually possible.

Carlos Sainz tried to go wide, and Grosjean just clipped the side of the Renault man from the rear. Oversteer from Grosjean there. Sainz could have been flipped over there - it could have been very nasty. Both drivers are OK.

Valtteri Bottas slows right down - then floors it. He stays clear of Sebastian Vettel.
Kimi Raikkonen forces his way past Max Verstappen... but here comes Verstappen, going right to the limit, and he's back into fourth! Sensational from the Dutchman!

Lewis Hamilton is really worried about his rivals being on fresh tyres, even though his team isn't. "These guys with the fresh tyres, very hard to get past," he says.

Safety car is coming in now. Jennie Gow, in the pit lane for BBC Radio 5 live, points out that Mercedes do not have any fresh sets of soft tyres to use - unlike Red Bull and Ferrari. Could that have been the factor in their decision not to pit during the safety car period.

Safety car is still being deployed. Lapped cars can now overtake, the message comes through - that's the two Williams drivers, Sergey Sirotkin and Lance Stroll. Canadian Stroll was causing problems for several drivers earlier by not getting out of the way when they tried to lap him. Those drivers are unlikely to be thrilled at the prospect of having to lap him again.

Shaun Bristow: For the third time this year Mercedes haven't pitted under the safety car. This could well be another disastrous decision
Jeremiah Kariuki: Both Mercedes decided to stay out. Another strategy mess? Let's wait and see.
