Lewis Hamilton: "Rears taking a beating."
Lap 11/70
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live
He was doing so well earlier on, soaking up the pressure from Verstappen behind, but that right rear - he has hit something with it.
What a shame for him, he was having a real strong weekend in the McLaren.
Lap 10/70
The rear right tyre has ripped off and is on fire. He's gone into a wall somewhere. Disaster for the young Briton. He had started eighth. Shakes of the head in the McLaren garage. A promising weekend for them with both drivers in the top nine, but Sainz then collected a three-place penalty and now Norris is gone.
Lap 9/70
Gasly came in in lap eight, Daniel Ricciardo in the Renault a lap later. He had been fourth.
Lap 8/70

Kimi Raikkonen was well out of position as he lost a lot of time on the opening laps there. Bottas now has Verstappen closing in behind.
Lap 8/70
A very early change of tactics for Pierre Gasly. On to the hard tyres, hoping they go the distance. They need to go 62 laps. Risky
Lap 7/70
It has taken six laps, but Max Verstappen is now on the charge. Lando Norris has been and gone. Valtteri Bottas may not be such an easy target though.
Lap 6/70
Sebastian Vettel goes even quicker. The lead is two seconds. Ferrari were fastest in the final two practice sessions and then again in qualifying. Mercedes will be hoping that lead does not extend too much.
Lap 6/70
Engineer: "Carlos, that stop was necessarily for a blocked caliper duct."
Lap 5/70

Romain Grosjean picked up a bit of front wing from Alex Albon, he had to pick it up and throw it out again, cutting the chicane on the opening lap.

Romain Grosjean went very wayward on the opening lap after a piece of Albon's wing flew into Grosjean's path and the Haas man had to take evasive action. Grosjean even has to throw away a piece of Albon's car by hand.

Bottas needs to get past Nico Hulkenberg pronto here, because Nico is on the softs and Bottas on the mediums.
Jolyon: If Bottas doesn't get a move on passing Hulkenberg he's going to have a Red Bull behind him soon.
Lap 4
The start Ferrari were hoping for. Sebastian Vettel got away cleanly, and has a 1.8 seconds lead and has just sent in the fastest lap so far.
Lap 3
Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll and George Russell have all enjoyed the opening two laps, all moving up three places. Perez 12th, Stroll 14th, Russell 15th.
Lap 2
Sergio Perez and Antonio Giovinazzi were the two with the pincer movement to sandwich Albon, hence the need for a new wing.

Alex Albon is in the pits for a new front wing, he must have picked up some damage.
Lap 1
Max Verstappen started ninth and is instantly on the attack, with Lando Norris in his sights.
Valtteri Bottas makes a sluggish start and gets done by Nico Hulkenberg. The Finn down to seventh, two Renaults inside the top six.
Lap 1
Vettel gets away well, Hamilton holds off an early challenge from Charles Leclerc.
