    Lap 19/57

    Romain Grosjean's race is done. He had contact with Lance Stroll at the start, went into the pits twice, but that's him finished - he's the first faller.

    Daniil Kvyat has just been given a five-second penalty as well. He's 15th, so it probably won't make much difference.

    Everyone has stopped, apart from Daniel Ricciardo.

    Current tyres, Hamilton and Ricciardo on the softs, the rest of the top seven on the mediums.

    I'm sure it's too long for these mediums to hold on, they will be so slow at the end of the race.

    Capo: It's a long race still going forward. Charles needs to think about his tyres too.

    Jeremiah: This is race is far from over! Hamilton keeping close to the Ferraris.

    Mr P: Hope Gasly didn't throw away his Toro Rosso race overalls. With performances like this, and with young Albon performing as he is, it's not too difficult to see them switching places by mid-season.

    Ricciardo must be aiming for a conventional one-stop race. Renault are fighting for best of the rest status and doing a good job of it.

    Mads: Absolutely loving the race so far today - track temp and tyre wear could be an important factor today as well. Leclerc on top would be magical.

    Tom: This is an awesome race. The extra DRS zone makes all the difference.

    We are glad you are all enjoying the race, we are too!

    Charles Leclerc with a 1:33.914 gets the fastest lap. That's a bonus point if he keeps that title for the rest of the race.

    Ricciardo's moment doesn't last long, Charles Leclerc, on fresher tyres and in a better car, gets back to the top. Kvyat and Giovinazzi are the next two to be under investigation for their meeting.

    Ricciardo is leading. See, that move to Renault was a great one. OK, he hasn't stopped, but good to see him back up there.

    Vettel in, and out of the pits.

    • Bottas takes the lead off the line, but is quickly passed to Vettel, then back to pole sitter Leclerc. Vettel now leads but has not stopped, Ricciardo second.
    • Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen nudge, after the McLaren tried to pass on the outside of the corner, and Sainz pits with a damage front wing, and is running in 20th. No further action after investigation from the stewards
    • 3.5 secs separates the top three

    That Mercedes pit stop was for Valtteri Bottas. That Kvyat spin comes after clipping wheels with Antonio Giovinazzi.

    There may be high fives in the Red Bull garage as that earlier stop for Max Verstappen has left him ahead of Bottas in fifth.

    Leclerc and Hamilton come in too.

    Daniil Kvyat is going backwards, which is never the best thing to be doing in a grand prix. He reverses along at pace, spins it around and gets going again. Green flag again.

    Mercedes are getting ready for a pit stop.

    Lap 12/57

    Max Verstappen gets away with his side-by-side collision with Carlos Sainz. No further action for either man. Max also jumps into the pits and leaves armed with the red mediums. He had been fifth when he came in.
