That pitstop for Lewis Hamilton means his lead is now 8.6 seconds.
A word on Nico Hulkenberg though. Up to eighth as he has carved through the field after starting from the pits.
He has not stopped yet, neither have the Williams pair, who still manage to find themselves as the bottom two.

PBM: worst race of the season for those Alfas? Kimi won't give us any smiles in the end that's for sure.
Mark from Madrid: For a team that was out of sight at the front in pre-season testing this is an unprecedented humiliation. It's not so much putting a foot wrong, as being totally unable to put one right!

We're in pit stop mode. Valtteri Bottas in from second and back out in second. Mediums for him too and that looked a smooth stop. Textbook. That means Hamilton, yet to stop, has a whopping 34.2 second advantage.

Sebastian Vettel gets the fastest lap and has jumped from 10th to sixth on the medium tyres. In comes Charles Leclerc from third and goes back out in fifth. Hard tyres for him.
A change of tyres, throwing the dice and seeing what happens.

Daniil Kvyat with a lovely move to go around the outside of Kimi Raikkonen. It's one of the moves of the race, but still only good enough for 15th at the moment.

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveI don't know how this one is going to pan out, he will charge up to Gasly and Leclerc but surely he will have to overtake them later on in the race...?

Mercedes have won four of the past five races here - the only blemish in the last five years was 2016 when their two men smashed into each other.
Mercedes looking great value for their fifth one-two finish of the season.

This may well be the last race here in Barcelona, with no new contract. It's not been the most thrilling 23 laps we've seen so far.

Kayleigh: Imagine having to beg for a pit stop because your team are so inept? Arrivabene, where are youuuu? Ferrari clearly need you!

Lewis Hamilton is leading, and comfortably so, this is how he did it. A lightning fast start and jumping Valtteri Bottas on the first lap.
