    In the points: 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Verstappen, 4. Leclerc, 5. Sainz, 6. Norris, 7. Ricciardo, 8. Stroll, 9. Ocon, 10. Gasly

    That's a very handy day for McLaren (fifth and sixth) so far, a disappointing one for Racing Point (eighth and did not start) and Ferrari (fourth and 11th) so far.

    Valtteri Bottas: "The vibration is getting worse."

    Hamilton's lead is inching towards the three-second mark. This is moving towards looking like all being done here with 10 laps to go.

    Grosjean warned for moving under braking

    Matthew: And Grosjean did it again. He's definitely in for it now.

    Rob Hill: Grosjean is incompetent to the point of being dangerous. The fact that he has an F1 seat when Hulkenberg doesn't makes no sense to me.

    Jeremiah: Wonder what's so special that Grosjean is achieving other than going backwards and getting black & white flags! The yellow tyres wasn't a competitive gamble.

    Moving under braking once has already seen a warning for Grosjean

    He may have just done it again with Daniel Ricciardo the angry man this time.

    Grosjean then has a slow pit stop too. He's now last.

    You are so focused on driving the car that you end up getting dehydrated. Max Verstappen is having the most lonely race out there he is obviously trying to get a bit of banter out there, reminding his race engineer to get a drink.

  9. 'Remember to drink!'published at 15:18 British Summer Time 2 August 2020

    Max Verstappen, in a bit of a race of his own in third, seems a bit bored out there as he pops on the radio to tell his race engineer to "remember to drink". Usually it is the other way round.

    Race-leading Hamilton is leading but this one is not done yet as the gap over Bottas is only 1.6 seconds. His championship lead is five points over the same man, but Hamilton now also holds the extra point for the fastest lap as well.

    Hamilton leads from Bottas

    Jude Ogbodo: In awe of Lewis Hamilton. What a career and race he's having.

    Francesca: Bottas just has no answers to Hamilton right now. Which is why he willl never get a championship. Not while Hamilton is around.

    Conor: My heart sank when Lewis set the fastest lap. Valterri’s fastest lap was just false hope.

  12. Team radiopublished at Lap 35/52

    Race engineer: We got the black and white flag for moving under braking on Sainz.

    Romain Grosjean: Are you kidding me? That is over the top.

    That's a warning, nothing more serious than that after the Haas man was weaving across the track trying to stop Carlos Sainz getting ahead of him.

    Is this season going to be the last one where we see Kimi Raikkonen on the track? Challenging a Williams to not be last is no longer living the dream.

    What a fall from grace for Kimi Raikkonen. Former world champion in 2007, front running with Ferrari in this race a couple of years ago and now he is fighting off Nicholas Latifi for last place and complaining about the car as well.

    Will the first race of the season be a sliding-doors moment for Alexander Albon in his Formula 1 career - a case of just what could've been?

    Towards the end of the Austrian Grand Prix, he was closing in on the lead and his first ever podium, went wide to attack Lewis Hamilton, got bumped off track by the Brit (which earned Hamilton a five-second penalty) and then only ended up in 13th.

    Albon now last of all those 17 still running and getting a lot of criticism coming his way after some collisions.

    Better for Alex Albon to take the penalty now and then if there is a safety car or some kerfuffle later on he won't have that hanging over him.

    Albon comes into the pits and serves his five-second penalty. He's back out on the mediums and is another needing a safety car.

    Albon given five-second penalty

    Philip West: Yes, we all know that Red Bull’s team is built around Verstappen and that Christian Horner has zero driver-management skills, but Albon is really up against it now. This could be an Andretti/Senna McLaren situation again.

    Adrian Kellers: Would be very interested to know what the people who are saying Albon’s penalty is unfair thought of Hamilton’s penalty in Brazil for hitting Albon. Pretty much a carbon copy in my eyes.

    Kimi Raikkonen: "What is happening with the rears?"

    Race engineer: "The wind is increasing a lot. Everybody is complaining."

    Is that a sign we will see more drivers fail to finish as the wind begins to blow?
