Lap 41/61
Lance Stroll and Pierre Gasly go wheel-to-wheel. Always dramatic, under the lights even more so. Gasly was the man behind, but elbows his way through for 11th. Hulkenberg then takes Stroll too.

Vettel has got a good restart. Hamilton looking racey and dramatic.
Vettel makes a good restart.
DBag: Grosjean - successfully channelling his inner Maldonado again
Gavin Button: Can someone work out how many Laps we have had under the safety car as a result of each driver? I imagine Grosjean would be streets ahead.
Lap 40/61
The safety car is ending. Everyone at Ferrari will be hoping that Leclerc and Vettel do not do exactly as Craig predicts and smash into each other.
Vettel leads from team-mate Leclerc #bbcf1
Craig Thompson: Leclerc and Vettel will take each other out
Kristine Kirby: Leclerc won't shut UP on his radio, toys out of pram on radio, furious at the strategy that ALL ISN'T GOING HIS WAY! Welcome to the real F1 show Leclerc. Bit like you didn't reciprocate on the Monza tow, hurts a bit, doesn't it? He is really yammering on.
"Caliper temps ok?"
Engineer: "Yes, temps are ok."
"Charles that was one of the best things we could do. Head down, the race is long, let's concentrate on the safety car you are doing a super job."
Leclerc: "My head is down and it will be down until the end of the race, I just wanted to let you know my feeling.
"i really don't understand that undercut - but let's talk after the race."
Lap 39/61
Still the safety car as they collect Russell's Williams from the wall. This is how it stands.
A slow burner at the start, but we have 22 laps of craziness to come. Vettel, Leclerc, Verstappen, Hamilton, who wins?
After losing the lead thanks to being undercut by his own team to give Ferrari the lead, you can't expect Leclerc will be too happy if Ferrari try to get him in blocker mode.
Lap 39/61
Giovinazzi, Ricciardo and Gasly will be wishing that safety car had happened about five laps earlier, before they had all come into the pits. Now they are 15th, 16th and 12th respectively.
Giovinazzi and Ricciardo are still in it despite both suffering damage when they bumped.
Grosjean collides with Russell #bbcf1
Philip West: Yet another brainless piece of driving from Grosjean. How this moron still has a race seat in F1, I do not know. One of the worst drivers I have ever, ever seen.
Roxy: Russell: I shouldn't be surprised Oooh, shade!
Lap 38/61
Still under the safety car. It brings everyone closer. There are still 23 laps to go. This story is not written just yet, not by any means.
Lap 38/61
Russell out.
#bbcf1
Justice Agbonika: A Vettel win today will be nice. Hope he can manage to keep the lead and bring it home.
Jeebs Palmer: Romain Grosjean at it again...
"Are you ok?"
Russell: "************************** why should I be surprised. Sorry guys."
Lap 36/61
Who can take advantage of a safety car and get a free pit stop?

Daniel Ricciardo is pretty much out of the grand prix he will struggle to get anything out of this now. After such a fun aggressive race. He's now dropping all the way down the order.
Giovinazzi is falling backwards, his race is done.
Lap 36/61
The young Brit is side by side with Romain Grosjean and he then goes into the wall, maybe helped there by the Frenchman. This is going to be the first time Russell has not finished a race this season.
