A big moment in the title race coming up. Can Bottas hold off the charging Hamilton?. Remember, Max Verstappen looks to have the race win in the bag - as long as his tyres don't go pop.

"You're free to race, just give each other enough space,"

It's Valtteri Bottas v Lewis Hamilton. It's not for first though, it's for second with Verstappen seven seconds clear of Bottas.

Hamilton has got so much grip. He is tucked under the rear wing of Charles Leclerc and he dispatches the Ferrari. Now, he is coming for Bottas...

Magnussen back in the garage. An early end to the day and he's our first to drop out.

Hamilton gets his man. Leclerc has a wobble when braking, Hamilton just about avoids him and the Mercedes man makes the move stick. Can he get Bottas for second?

Lewis Hamilton with the bit between his teeth and hard tyres on this car and he could yet reel in Valtteri Bottas, never mind Charles Leclerc...

Hamilton now closing down Charles Leclerc for third. Mercedes have been much faster and Leclerc has been on his tyres for absolutely ages. Seems to only be one outcome here.

Where is the pace of those Mercedes? They are just chewing up the tyres too quickly. As soon as they unleash the pace, the rubber turns to goo.

Lewis Hamilton locked up on the way into the pit lane, all smoke and skid. Did he manage to bring down his average speed enough to ensure he doesn't pick up a penalty?

Thomas Knights: Leclerc pace and tyre management has been astonishing in a dog of a car, lapping consistently faster than Bottas.

In comes Hamilton from the lead and it is the hards for him. He comes back in fourth, now seven seconds adrift of Charles Leclerc, with 10 laps to get the Ferrari man for a third spot. Verstappen back in front.

Mercedes are getting ready for a Hamilton stop.

"Let's start closing the gap to Hamilton. Start pushing,"

Lewis Hamilton is up to 25 laps on this set of tyres. If he pits, surely that ends any chance of a race win. But can he nurse these dodgy tyres for another 12 laps?

If Hamilton can keep this gap to 11 seconds to Verstappen, he might have a chance of coming back out in front if he pits under a safety car.

A pit-stop is 19 seconds, but you can half that under safety car conditions.

Lewis Hamilton won last week despite a last-lap puncture. We could be have some late tyre chaos again here to decide this one as well.
