None of the top 13 have stopped yet.

This could well be Robert Kubica's Formula 1 finale, and he's at least ahead of his team-mate George Russell. With Antonio Giovinazzi, Lance Stroll and Pierre Gasly also behind the Williams pair.

"And push, push as much as you can."

SV: "I am doing that."

Lewis Hamilton continues to stretch his lead. Five seconds and counting already on lap 10 of 55. This could be a very anti-climatic end to the season.

"I felt some weird vibrations turning in - check the tyres."

Engineer: "Copy."

Michael Penny: Tin foil hat time but is DRS technical issue a cunning plan to see what happened with a view to getting rid or improve it?

Philip West: I like this DRS-less style of racing. It’s old school. Forces the drivers to actually use skill to overtake, rather than a driving aid. More, please!

Pirelli said the pit stop window would be open from lap seven for those changing from softs.

Lando Norris is the first to come in for a non-crash related stop on lap nine. He leaves on hards and McLaren will be hoping to not see him again until after the race.

"We need to push as much as you can."

No DRS, still not working, but Bottas, with some good old fashioned overtaking, has got from 20th to 11th. Sergio Perez is next up.

"We are going Plan A."

If they're going to Plan A, what were they on before?

1. Hamilton
2. Leclerc +4.0
3. Verstappen +6.2
4. Vettel +8.1
5. Albon +11.6
6. Norris +19.2
7. Sainz +21.1
8. Ricciardo +22.0
9. Hulkenberg +23.3
10. Perez +26.6

Current tyres - Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen, Albon, Perez on the mediums, the rests on the softs.

Amit Mandalia: Even the DRS thinks the season has gone on too long and has had enough.

Chris: If Ferrari think a Leclerc DSQ is likely, should they use him tactically to back Verstappen up into Vettel and then let Seb past?

Jeremiah Kariuki: Dominance and procession has started. Only midfield where we are possibly going to see some action and hard racing

The lead at the front is already four seconds. Already looking like Lewis Hamilton's race to lose.

"The engine is at a really low RPM, what is this?"

Good news for Renault as they aim to finish fifth in the constructors as Daniel Ricciardo is eighth and Nico Hulkenberg ninth, while the two Toro Rossos, their contenders for fifth, are in the bottom six spots.

That makes Valtteri Bottas' task of working his way through the field a bit trickier, although he is far too good and far too quick for Lance Stroll and the Finn is already up to 13th from 20th at the start.

"DRS is disabled due to a technical issue," says Jack.

Has that ever happened in the history of F1? I don't think so.

Lewis Hamilton goes faster and now holds the fastest lap and is nearly three seconds clear of Leclerc already.

No DRS at the moment, because of a 'technical issue'.
