Vettel wins after overtaking furious Leclerc during pit stops
Hamilton 4th behind Verstappen
Russell out after Grosjean collision, Perez, Raikkonen out
Where will the excitement come from? #bbcf1
Daniel Eckersley: Lads you might be on a street circuit but I am struggling to stay alert right now.
Rob Hill: What's happening in the middle order really makes the lack of ambition to overtake at the front all the more embarrassing.
Lap 18/61

David Jarvis: Feels like a slow burner this one. At least I hope it is. Riccardo the only source of any excitement so far.
Amit Mandalia: Soft tyre runners trying to make sure they have a gap to pit so have to manage pace, but midfield on mediums/hards so unlikely to pit early so that’s causing first phase of this race to feel a bit stagnated.
Lap 18/61
No change in the top six, but loads of action behind them. Kimi Raikkonen gets ahead of Robert Kubica after the Finn had locked up in an earlier attempt. Daniel Ricciardo is now one place from the points. Well played sir, well played.
Lap 17/61
"Tyres are starting to drop a little bit."
Lap 17/61
Mark Gallagher, who worked for the Jordan F1 team in the 1990s, is not too impressed with what we've seen so far.

We're now getting into a game of chicken of who is going to blink first... and pit first.
Lap 15/61
Hamilton has had enough of this tyre saving, and is now only five tenths off the lead.

Chris Lord: If it weren’t for Ricciardo feel we have gone back to the French GP. Zzzz
Don't mention the French GP, Chris. Let's all pretend that one didn't happen.

The drama is still to come.

I'm not sure I'm seeing much evidence of that [Grosjean engineer's claim the drivers at the front are struggling], there's no radio to that effect.
Ricciardo moving up the field #bbcf1
Alex Lloyd: At the moment the only interesting driving on track is coming from Ricciardo. Fully expect the excitement at the front for this race will come from pit stops and safety cars

"This pace is good mate, people at the front on softs are starting to struggle."

Lap 12/61
With the top six so close to each other, but holding back the full pace, is this going to be won and lost in the pits?
Lap 11/61
"Front left caliper - the one we were worried about - try to cool it down."
Leclerc leads from Hamilton #bbcf1
SeriousFace: This has started like what is an increasingly Lewis Hamilton-style race. The second quickest car, but manages to stay in the dirty air of the faster race-leader, and despite being in the dirty air, gradually wearing him down.
