    Gemma: And that Leclerc vs Verstappen is exactly why the Ferrari orders are complete rubbish pandering to Vettel’s ego...

    Joshua Baxter: If I were Leclerc, I would just overtake Vettel and pretend my radio isnt working for a few laps.

    Rachel T: Ferrari have the ultimate great PR story with LEC - young, super talented plus everyone loves him. Why are they determined to turn it into a nightmare?

    Andrew Priestley: Mercedes just too dominant through the corners with the superior downforce their car can generate, but where has Ferrari’s much publicised and touted straight-line speed gone?

    "Box, box" Valtteri Bottas is told. He pits from second, switches on to the hard and is back out in third.

    Charles Leclerc is elevated to second but he will need to stop, as will race leader Lewis Hamilton.

    Lap 21/56

    Huge roar from the grandstands as Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel slug it out.

    Verstappen attacks heading into hairpin, briefly snatching fourth place but Vettel reclaims the position at the exit as Verstappen runs wide.

    Advantage Vettel for now, but this is going to be a battle to watch!

    Sebastian Vettel switches to the hard tyres and is back out JUST ahead of Max Verstappen.

    Things could soon get tasty between those two!

    Lap 19/56

    Sparks flying from under Lando Norris' McLaren, which looks to have some pretty bad floor damage. Unsurprisingly, he's heading in to the pits.

    So, too, is Sebastian Vettel...

    Lap 18/56

    Yep, he's getting wheeled back into the garage and that's race over for Nico Hulkenberg.

    Meanwhile, Max Verstappen pits, pops on hard tyres and is back out in eighth.

    The Ferraris will be in their sights, will they react?

    Grant Kennett:Leclerc clearly using battery when Vettel is using DRS. Won’t be long until they swap them around or drop Vettel back to save his front boots. Will be interesting to see which Ferrari favour...

    Lady T:Ferrari pathetic....seriously team orders in 3 races. Glad Kimi went (see he actually smiles & laughs now). Poor Charles what is the point of racing. This is how it's going to be in Ferrari for the rest of the season. Glad I'm not a Ferrari fan. My condolences Charles

    Jennifer Harris:Oh, oh!#ScuderiaFerrari, externalwhat are you doing? If the championship were at stake I could understand, but, this early in the season? LET THEM RACE.

    Charles Leclerc keeps nibbling away at his team, pointing out that Sebastian Vettel is not pulling away from him.

    Imagine Ferrari telling their drivers to swap again..

    Good going from Alexander Albon, who's the biggest mover of the day so far. He's up to 11th having gained nine places since the start.

    Lap 14/56

    Lewis Hamilton's advantage over Valtteri Bottas is up to four seconds but both Mercedes are out on their own at the moment. Despite being given the nod over Charles Leclerc to attack the front two, Sebastian Vettel has been a bit scrappy in his pursuit. A couple of lock ups sees him almost 11 seconds behind Bottas.

    Penny for Leclerc's thoughts?

    Nico Hulkenberg pits and is back out on hard tyres and it looks like he'll be going to the end of the race on them now.

    It's not the best of stops, though, and he loses a place to Romain Grosjean as he returns to the track in 16th.
