Sebastian Vettel locks up at Les Combes, goes wide and wrecks his tyres. He didn't want to pit, now he will have no choice.

Maybe he has a very slow leak? And it is running low, I would have thought. Begs the question if he will have to pit again to have it topped up?

Charles Leclerc was having his pneumatic pressure topped up and he has been warned if he pits again it will be another slow stop.

Chris C: Is it possible Ferrari are managing injured cars in Spa so that they take new engine parts for the Italian races?

Sergio Perez is on the charge. He's gone from 17th to 11th to nudge an unhappy Sebastian Vettel a place down the list.

Sebastian Vettel: "I'm not gonna pass these guys in front. Don't ***** think about pitting."

Mutiny!

Hamilton, with a broken wing, has just set the fastest lap. He won the British Grand Prix on three functioning tyres. Now he's the quickest man out there with a damaged car. Super-human.

Hamilton has damage on the right hand side of the rear wing. It is basically broken and flapping around a bit. He is about to set the fastest lap, so we can all stay calm for now. It does look slightly loose.

But wait, there's some damage to the rear wing of Hamilton. He's still on track and still going very, very fast. One to monitor.

Hamilton's lead is 3.7 seconds.

Mercedes race engineer to Valtteri Bottas: "Everything you've got Valtteri."

Okayyyy.

Raikkonen's pace is pretty good, so whatever it is it is not slowing him down right now.

Raikkonen is 11th at the moment.

Kimi Raikkonen: "I have a lot of water on my right foot."

Charles Leclerc has had two poor pitstops. He's now down in 17th. Ferrari giving him more and more challenges. Seventeen laps to go to somehow salvage something this weekend.

Scott: Last time Ferrari went a season without winning a race? 1993!

Reece: Perez pitted 4 laps ago. Was 15 seconds behind Leclerc in 13th. Gap is now 5 seconds. Perez is 2 or more seconds a lap quicker than the Ferrari's. What is going on.

Josh Patton: Ferrari are an absolute joke.

Charles Leclerc: "What's happening, why do we need to do slow pit stops?

Race engineer: "We will let you know later."

Another bad pitstop for Ferrari and Charles Leclerc. A bad day for their team all round.

Very randomly a Max Verstappen fan is shown on a trackside big screen pretending to do a Daniel Ricciardo style-shoey as the cars zoom past.

Ricciardo is one place away from doing a podium shoey for real later on.

Lewis Hamilton is three seconds clear of Valtteri Bottas, who is more than one second ahead of Max Verstappen.

Daniel Ricciardo is 15 seconds further adrift in fourth and then comes Alexander Albon, who has just gone around the outside of Pierre Gasly. Our top five started off Hamilton, Bottas, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Albon. Fifty minutes later and we're back to as we started.

Halfway. Those in the points - 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Verstappen, 4. Ricciardo, 5. Gasly, 6. Albon, 7. Ocon, 8. Stroll, 9. Norris, 10. Kvyat.

The Ferraris are 12th Vettel and 13th Leclerc after those two have just changed places.
