    Just another moment for Bottas, the bad luck keeps happening to him.

  2. Lap 16/71

    The VSC is the cue for the Red Bull and Ferrari drivers to pit. Vettel's stop is a bit on the slow side.

  3. "My gearbox has gone," Bottas says over his radio.

    Mercedes: "OK, we lost hydraulic pressures."

    When is this guy's luck going to turn? Ach, Formula 1 is cruel sometimes. The virtual safety car is deployed as Bottas rolls off the track.

  4. Lap 14/71

    Oh, Bottas has gone!

  5. Team radio - Nico Hulkenberg

    "Lost power, lost power."

  6. Lap 12/71

    That's the third time in six races that Hulkenberg has retired - he failed to finish in Azerbaijan and Spain. He's OK, and gets out of the car no problem.

  7. Lap 11/71

    Nico Hulkenberg has an engine failure - oh, goodness, his car's on fire! That's him done.

  8. Get Involved #bbcf1

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Vandoorne is already being overlapped and this Lap 5! He may end up being overlapped 5 times. A tough afternoon has just started.

    Rachel T: Six laps in and the McLaren is lapped. Shocker.

  9. Lap 10/71

    Plenty of work for the stewards to do here. They're looking at two Lap 1 incidents: Where Carlos Sainz and Esteban Ocon collidded, and where Stoffel Vandoorne went into the back of Pierre Gasly. Kimi Raikkonen has also complained over his radio that he felt Max Verstappen clipped the back of his Ferrari.

  10. What's happened so far?

    • Lewis Hamilton, who started second, got a great start and overtook polesitter Valtteri Bottas.
    • Bottas dropped from first to fourth on the first lap, before recovering back to second
    • Daniel Ricciardo has jumped from seventh to fifth.
    • McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne has his front wing damaged early on but is able to continue but is last, with team-mate Fernando Alonso 19th.

  11. Lap 8/71

    "I drove over some debris at Turn Three," says Kimi Raikkonen over the radio.

  12. Get Involved #bbcf1

    Josh Gribby: Wow what a first lap - plenty of action and no accidents!

    Mark Taylor: There has been more excitement in the first lap than the whole of the Monaco and Canadian put together. Proper racing, great stuff.

    Fish Hailu: Brilliant and confident start from the main man Lewis Hamilton. I think it is going to be a good day for Mercedes. 1 & 2?

  13. Lap 7/71

    Stoffel Vandoorne, who had to make that early stop to get his front wing sorted out, and couldn't get the car going for a good 30 seconds after that - doesn't sound as if it was an engine problem, so that's a bit of a mystery. The McLaren has already been lapped.

  15. 'Brilliant start from Hamilton'

    Hats off to Valtteri Bottas for saving second as Kimi Raikkonen got a superb launch. Brilliant start from Hamilton, Bottas went down to fourth but on the run down to Turn Four swept outside Raikkonen and Verstappen and got back to second.

  16. Lap 4/71

    "Lot of debris down at Turn Three," is the message over Lewis Hamilton's radio. The reigning champion holds the lead.

    Sebastian Vettel makes a storming move past Romain Grosjean to climb to sixth - a real eye-of-the-needle job.

  17. Lap 2/71

    Valterri Bottas works back up to second place. Sebastian Vettel had an awful first lap, dropping to eighth, but fights back to seventh. Vandoorne is in to the pits to get his front wing started out. What a start!

    And then Kimi Raikkonen locks up! And Stoffel Vandoorne damages his front wing! Esteban Ocon is on to the grass and back on again!

  20. 'Tensions rising at Red Bull'

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live

    It will be uncomfortable for the Red Bull team and generally team-mates do not get on well because they are each other's fiercest rival and the man you most want to beat.

    The incident yesterday between Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen was much ado about nothing - it didn't really make much difference to qualifying.

    Tensions are rising (between Ricciardo and Verstappen) and Ricciardo is in contract talks so that may become an issue.

    It seems like Ricciardo has already let it go so he has a job to do today.
