    Lap 65/71

    How's Charles Leclerc's nerve? He has one of the most aggressive drivers in F1 on his tail. Leclerc has never won a race in his career. He is six laps away from doing so.

    This is how it stands in the constructors' title. This is rare off day for Mercedes after winning the first eight races. Unless Leclerc and Verstappen take each other out then that run is going to end today.

    This is not done yet. No way. Leclerc or Verstappen? Who's going to win this one? Verstappen on the hunt for a second win here in two years.

    We have got a race on for the win. Verstappen is making up time, he's now 3.8 sec behind Leclerc.

    "This is blistering pace, Max. Keep it up."

    Verstappen's got fresher tyres because Leclerc pitted earlier and he has the tyre advantage and a lot of pace.

    If someone had told me that was team orders to let Verstappen past I would believe them! I've never seen anyone hold out the white flag quite like that before, he just didn't fight.

    Elsewhere, Lando Norris is sixth and Carlos Sainz is eighth. That would be a great performance from the McLaren pair.

    Lap 60/71

    Lap 60. Charles Leclerc's lead is 4.2 seconds over Max Verstappen. Six of the eight races this season have been a Mercedes one-two. They may struggle to keep hold of a podium spot.

    Bottas third, Hamilton fourth and Sebastian Vettel fifth, but on much fresher tyres.

    We're back where we started with Charles Leclerc leading and Max Verstappen second, Valtteri Bottas third and Lewis Hamilton fourth but that does not tell half the story. It has been a fantastic race so far.

    Josh Gribby: Driver of the day will be tough today! Leclerc? Vettel? Norris?

    Thomas Knights: Nearly half of the lap is a DRS zone, it is far too much and far too powerful.

    Michael Heal: Leclerc doing everything right. Think Mercedes could both be vulnerable here with Max and Vettel on better strategies

    Max Verstappen's latest overtake gets his Red Bull team out of their seats and on to their feet. It is greeted by a grimace from Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

    Bottas doesn't even try and cover and Max Verstappen is back in position where he started this grand prix, he's fought his way back and now he's got the job done.

    He needs five seconds to win!

    "Haha, yes!" says Verstappen. He's P2 having looked just moments earlier like his race might be coming to an early end.

    His boss Christian Horner has just told Sky that it was an exhaust sensor issue on the Red Bull.

    "Fail three, fail three," Red Bull tell Verstappen.

    "What?"

    "Fail three. Zero three."

    That was seconds before Verstappen got ahead of Bottas.

    Losing power a few seconds ago, now Max Verstappen has got ahead of Valtteri Bottas. Incredible stuff.

    "I'm losing power guys."

    It's the message no one wants to hear and it comes from the radio of Max Verstappen.

    Jolyon Palmer says: "He's still keeping up with Bottas through the lap so he's not falling away yet, but that sounded panicky from Max there."

    The cheers of the Dutch fans were deafening across the circuit - almost louder than the engines down here.

    Mercedes are out and look like they're about to do something... ready for a stop.
