  1. Max Verstappen comes in and jumps on the intermediates. That pushes Hamilton up to fourth.

  2. Lap 48/67

    Minor damage to Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari. One to monitor. Doesn't seem to have done him too much harm.

  3. Story so far

    • Sebastian Vettel leads after team-mate Kimi Raikkonen – who pitted much earlier – was ordered by Ferrari to let him through
    • Lewis Hamilton comes in to switch to ultrasofts on Lap 42, just before rain starts to fall
    • Valtteri Bottas third, Hamilton fourth
    • Daniel Ricciardo retires on Lap 28 after reporting loss of power
    • Vettel started on pole, Hamilton in 14th after hydraulics failure in Q1, Ricciardo and Gasly started at back of grid with power unit penalties

  4. Lap 46/67

    The top four are on softs, Hamilton in fifth on the softer and faster ultrasoft. Magnussen, Hulkenberg and Grosjean, sixth, seventh and eighth, on the mediums.

    Hammer time. Time to attack, attack, attack, while you can. Before the rain gets too heavy.

  5. Tyre update

    Lap 45/67

  6. Lap 45/67

    Charles Leclerc moves on to the intermediates. A gamble to get themselves into the points. Fernando Alonso also goes on the intermediates. Pierre Gasly gets the full wets on. Rolling the dice and seeing what comes up.

  7. That Raikkonen order in full...

    Lap 44/67

    Ferrari's senior performance engineer Jock Clear: "Kimi, this is Jock. You're aware we need to look after tyres. Both cars need to look after tyres and you two are on different strategies. We'd like you not to hold up Seb. Thank you."

    Raikkonen: "I'm sorry but can you be direct? What do you want?"

    Clear: "Losing as little time as possible where you can, obviously, but Seb is capable of going quicker. He's hurting his tyres and you are as well. We need to look after them."

    Raikkonen: "So you want me to... let him go? Please. Just tell me."

  8. It's raining

    Lap 44/67

    A race-changer?

  9. The top 10

    Lap 44/67

    1. Vettel
    2. Raikkonen
    3. Bottas

    5. Hamilton
    6. Magnussen

    8. Grosjean
    9. Perez
    10. Sainz

  10. Lap 43/67

    Hamilton comes back out in fifth. A couple of laps blast as much as you can before any potential rain.

  11. Lap 43/67

    Hamilton to come in and the ultrasofts are ready. A gamble that it is not going to rain. Risky.

  12. Perez's pit stop woes

    Lap 42/67

    Listen to Sergio Perez drop down the pack thanks to an unhelpful pit stop.

    Perez's pit stop extended after trouble with front right wheel.

  13. Lap 42/67

    We are expecting rain in the next "eight minutes" apparently. Don't go anywhere.

  14. Different strategies

  15. Lap 40/67

    And Kimi Raikkonen, reluctantly, moves aside. Sebastian Vettel leads, with Raikkonen moving to blocker of Lewis Hamilton role.

  16. Lap 40/67

    Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly are still on the tyres they started with, as we are on lap 40 of 67.

  17. Lap 39/67

    Raikkonen has just got the call to move out of the way and let Vettel through. The Finn's not too chuffed at that.

  18. Lap 39/67

    What of McLaren? Another pretty miserable day. Stoffel Vandoorne, slowest in two of the practice sessions, is last of those 19 still running. Fernando Alonso is only 15th so another pointless day on the cards.

    The same for Williams. Sergey Sirotkin started 12th but is now 18th, with Lance Stroll still in the 17th place that he started in.

  19. 'I don't understand Ferrari's game'

    Lap 39/67

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    I can't understand why Ferrari have allowed Sebastian Vettel, the race leader and championship leader, to be jumped by Kimi Raikkonen.

    Even if they're on a different strategy, let Vettel through. Ferrari are shooting themselves in the foot. All the while, Lewis Hamilton is hanging back, waiting for the rain to come.

  20. Lap 38/67

    Sauber are in contention for some points, with Charles Leclerc in 11th and Marcus Ericsson 12th.
