BBC Radio 5 Live F1 commentatorIt's a red flag. Standing restart. It will be very interesting.
Red flagpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 13 September 2020
Well, well.
Lance Stroll left a big dent in the tyre barrier and the race director decides we need a third standing start of the day to restart the race...

I don't think it was driver error.
Hamilton pitspublished at Lap 49
The safety car picks up Valtteri Bottas out of the pits rather than race leader Lewis Hamilton.
That gives Hamilton the chance to jump into for fresh tyres.
Bottas pitspublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 13 September 2020
Bottas was well placed to take that pit-stop as the yellow flags came out.
Lance Stroll is climbing out of his Racing Point and looks uninjured.

Lance Stroll goes off into the gravel!
Yellow flags out!

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveThird-placed Ricciardo is going to be very difficult to pass. Stroll and Albon are going quicker but Ricciardo has the highest top speed and is very good on the brakes. That means he is very difficult to pass.
Battle for thirdpublished at Lap 44
Just four seconds cover Daniel Ricciardo, Lance Stroll and Alex Albon in third, fourth and fifth respectively.
Could be anyone's.
Team radio - Mercedes to Hamiltonpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 13 September 2020
Mercedes pit wall: "So Lewis, to both cars, we're asking to stay off the kerbs to keep tyre integrity."
Hamilton: "Which kerbs?"
Mercedes pit wall: "So...all of them."
Postpublished at 43 laps
Lewis Hamilton points out the bleeding obvious to his pitcrew, saying that staying off the kerbs will make him slower.
They assure him that Valtteri Bottas in second will also be taking it slower and steadier in a bid to prolong the tyre life. Hamilton's lead is up at 5.8 seconds on Bottas.

End of twitter postHamilton and Bottas easing uppublished at Lap 40
The Mercedes pitwall has told both cars to stay off the kerbs to try and get the most possible from the hard compound tyres.
Valtteri Bottas has a 16-second lead over Daniel Ricciardo in third so they have a cushion to work with as they race a little gentler.
Hamilton builds leadpublished at Lap 38
Lewis Hamilton quietly, remorselessly keeps building his advantage off the front of the race.
The Briton has a lead of more than six seconds on Valtteri Bottas.
We are well over halfway through the race by the way. Fifty-nine laps in total today.
Albon fighting for thirdpublished at Lap 37
Don't count out Alex Albon from the third-place shake-down. The Red Bull looks like it is enjoying these new shoes.
Lance Stroll in fourth is only two and half seconds up the road.
Ricciardo defending thirdpublished at Lap 36
Daniel Ricciardo will be concentrating on defence rather than attack.
The Aussie has Lance Stroll two seconds off his rear wing, while second-placed Bottas is 14 seconds up the road.

So this is your top 10 after the pitlane jiggery-pokery:
Hamilton, Bottas, Ricciardo, Stroll, Albon, Perez, Norris, Leclerc, Kvyat, Russell.
Hamilton and Albon pitpublished at Lap 33
Lewis Hamilton comes in for his change of tyres - like Bottas on the hard compound - and has enough of a lead to rejion still in the lead.
Albon is back to fifth. Bottas second, 6.7 seconds back.
