Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraThis is the sort of race that Williams need to be scoring points in. If you're an underdog, you need to be banking some points.
Sergey Sirotkin and Lance Stroll have both failed to finish today.

Lap 62/67
His team-mate may not be allowed to overtake him, but what a drive this has been from Lewis Hamilton.
Only yesterday was he hunched over his stricken car distraught after a hydraulic issue ruined his qualifying. He started 14th today and is four more laps from winning this one.

'Bottas is going to have a run'published at 15:34 British Summer Time 22 July 2018
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraValtteri Bottas has got hotter tyres, he's got more grip, and he's going to have a run. This is more like Hamilton-Rosberg. Bottas has never attacked him like this before.

Bottas attacks Hamilton. Just about unsuccessful. Great defence from Hamilton. No team orders at Mercedes.

In comes the safety car. Can Lewis Hamilton hold on for a stunning race win? He has to hold on for 10 laps, the others are on fresher tyres.
