Attack! Hamilton goes wide and has a nibble at Vettel, but the German has the inside for the next corner and just about hangs on. Brilliant wheel-to-wheel racing between last years' top two.

Just what we always want to see. Superb racing, and superb defending from Vettel.

Perfect from Ferrari, as Leclerc goes in with the lead and comes out with the lead.

In comes Leclerc. Don't mess this up.

Now they can bring in Charles Leclerc if they need to, the lead over Valtteri Bottas is 24 seconds.

Vettel pits, and comes back out ahead of Lewis Hamilton.

This is what we wanted for years, just cars able to follow closely.

Two in two corners for Kimi Raikkonen, on newer tyres. It's Raikkonen versus Toro Rosso. Played two, won two. Firstly Kvyat overtaken, then Albon. Still only 12th for the Finn though.

Is Charles Leclerc looking after his tyres. If he has done and does not need to pit then the win is surely his.

It is a hard tyre for Sainz in the pits

Meanwhile, at the front, Charles Leclerc's lead is nine seconds. Closing in on his maiden victory.

Verstappen was on the mediums and struggling, and he's back in the pits. So it's a two stopper for Verstappen.

Slow, slow, slow, that's cost him a good two seconds there.

Verstappen has had enough of being annoyed by Lance Stroll, so jumps into the pits to go on to the softs.

Perez next for the Renault driver...

A massive lock-up for Lewis Hamilton. He was unhappy with his tyres before then, so that's not going to improve his mood.

It's a lonely race for Max Verstappen.

Lance Stroll is trying to unlap himself, and that brings back bad memories for Versatappen.

Max must be thinking 'get a life, man'

Max Verstappen is going to be annoyed at his Red Bull pace, as he is being attacked by Lance Stroll, who is trying to unlap himself from 17th.

Daniel Ricciardo weaving his way through the track is always a sight to behold. He won't be able to do that as effectively as in the past, but he's just nipped past Kevin Magnussen and that's 11th for the Australian, with Sergio Perez the only thing separating him from a point.

A much-needed points finish coming up for Pierre Gasly. He failed to get into Q3 at either of the qualifying and in, what is regarded as the third best car on the grid, is currently ninth.

He sounded like he was in tears during qualifying yesterday, so hopefully today will cheer him up a bit.

Since Ferrari's newest recruit has taken the first Ferrari pole of the year, and is the second youngest pole sitter, we're wondering what happened to the youngsters.

1. Sebastian Vettel - Monza 2008 - went on to be a four-time world champion and one of the most successful drivers.

2. Charles Leclerc - Sakhir 2019 - our newest pole sitter in this list, and by the looks of this list, he's got a bright future ahead.

3. Fernando Alonso - Malaysia 2003 - two-time Formula 1 world champion, arguably one of the great drivers of all time, and now doing for the triple crown of winning: Le Mans, Monaco Grand Prix and the Indy500.

4. Rubens Barrichello - Spa 1994 - 11 wins, 14 pole positions, he's no world champion but he's still in the history books amongst the legends, and his name rings many bells.

5. Lewis Hamilton - Canada 2007 - The five-time world champion, has the most poles by a rather large margin with 84, and another driver considered for the GOAT award.

Bishnu: The old guard giving away to the exciting new ones. Norris moves ahead of Kimi.

Keegan: This race has me on the edge of my seat. I'm gunning for Ricciardo, hope he finally has a good race.

We are on the edge of our seats too! Ricciardo running in 12th.
