Kimi Raikkonen, chasing down Max Verstappen to the end, sets a new lap record of 1:06.975. Can he win this race yet? That would be some response, given how his days at Ferrari look numbered...

That is a huge blow for Lewis Hamilton's championship hopes. He just slowed out of turn one. That is five retirements today in this race.

That brings to an end Lewis Hamilton's run of 33 consecutive finishes - all in the points - and means Sebastian Vettel, as it stands, will go above him in the title standings by one point.

Hamilton: "Lost power."

Mercedes: "OK, stop, stop."

Hamilton's lost power - he's out! Calamity for Mercedes!

"We have no concerns any more, Kimi you are free to push."

The message from the Red Bull radio is that the tyres of Verstappen, Raikkonen and Vettel are all OK to get to the finish. That rules out any faint hope for Hamilton, you would think...

Now Fernando Alonso gets past Charles Leclerc, and is up into the points...

Jeremiah Kariuki‏: If Verstappen goes ahead and win this race, everyone should apologize to Red Bull. At one point, they were written off completely but luck and strategy came smiling at them.

Reece Young: Charles Leclerc in the points. Again. The guy is an absolute hero.

Euan‏: Enough with the moaning already! Yes, losing places feels awful but constantly having a go at your team is not going to improve the situation or endear you to them! Hamilton is frankly being unreasonable now.

Further back, Sergio Perez goes late on the brakes to beat team-mate Esteban Ocon to a corner and grab seventh. Charles Leclerc is up into the points, in 10th spot, with fernando Alonso in 11th, just behind them.

Romain Grosjean, in fifth, has just been lapped.

A gripping finish in store. Verstappen still leads for Red Bull at their home race, but the two Ferraris are snapping at his heels like a pair of big, bad Alsatians. Can they get their man?

Lewis Hamilton sets a new lap record with 1:07.241 - but his only hope now is that the tyres of the front three fail to hold out.

Alex Withington‏: James Vowles is taking far too much responsibility here. Win as a team, lose as one. Head down Lewis.

Craig‏: Bottas still has no luck, Mercedes still can’t work out how pit stops work when they don’t have a huge lead. Seriously guys, how many more wins are you going to throw away like that? Good for red bull if they win at “home” though.

"We are not OK, we're not OK."

Hartley retires not long after that. A mechanical issue has done for the Toro Rosso man.

Lewis Hamilton is the best part of half-a-minute off the lead, but is setting the fastest laps consistently - he's just run 1:07.460.

• Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who started fourth is now first, more than six seconds in front of Kimi Raikkonen.
• Lewis Hamilton, who started second, got a great start and overtook polesitter Valtteri Bottas, who dropped from first to fourth on the first lap, before recovering back to second. However, his race ended on lap 14 because his car lost hydraulic pressure.
• Both Red Bulls and both Ferraris pit during the virtual safety car caused by Bottas' stop, but race leader Hamilton does not pit. When he does pit 10 laps later he drops from first to fourth. Mercedes' chief strategist admits blame for the mistake. Sebastian Vettel gets past title rival Hamilton on lap 38.
• Daniel Ricciardo is fourth when he suffers a gear problem on lap 51 and eventually has to stop.

• Nico Hulkenberg was the first man out of the race after his engine was spectacularly on fire on lap 12.
• McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne had his front wing damaged early on but is able to continue but is last of those running, with team-mate Fernando Alonso 11th after starting from the pits.

Ricciardo looks a forlorn figure as he leaves his car and walks along the grass behind the barriers at the side of the track. So Hamilton, who has just set the fastest lap, is back up to fourth.

"Losing gear sync."

Oh, but Ricciardo has gone... He' s out the race. What a rotten thing to happen on your birthday.

Hamilton went into the pits in fourth, and comes out in fifth place, behind Daniel Ricciardo. So two fewer points for Hamilton if it finishes like that - allowing Sebastian Vettel to cut his title lead from 14 to nine points.

"I don't know what to say to you guys. These tyres are not going to last."

Hamilton comes into pit. He has no option, really.
