Stroll leads from Perez and Albon
Willem Mevius: Bottas must be getting dizzy by now after all those spins.
Rachel T: Still no idea who will win this race - love it!
Regular John: Vettel really costing Lewis the chance for a podium here. The Mercedes just can’t get by.
Postpublished at Lap 24/58
Alexander Albon in third is a man under pressure at Red Bull following just one podium finish in more than a year with the team.
If he was to be dropped at the end of the season, the man he is currently chasing down, Sergio Perez in third, could well replace him.
Perez, remember, has been binned off for Racing Point for 2021.
Not just battling for points and a podium but an F1 career.

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveVerstappen rejoined in eighth. He is not done just yet but has a lot of work to do.

The title is disappearing out of sight for Valtteri Bottas. He had been on the back of Gasly and Raikkonen but he flings it around at Turn 1 and he's now five seconds behind both of them.

Max Verstappen is under investigation for a potential pitlane infringement. As soon as we know, you'll know.

Valtteri Bottas is now 15th, but not far behind Pierre Gasly in 14th and Kimi Raikkonen in 13th.
Bottas has to get himself up to sixth or the 2020 drivers' championship is all over.

BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporterOvertaking is just so tough. It is so slippery off the racing line. There is so much standing water.

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveVerstappen was too close to Perez. He got a load of dirty air and that pushed him wide. There was no grip there and round he goes.

Stroll leads from Perez and Albon
Regular John: How are Red Bull SO much faster than the others in these conditions? A slow Vettel holding up Lewis for laps but Albon just whizzes by. Max will win this if he passes Perez soon.
Nulla Pax: Won't it be ironic if Vettel doesn't spin on this track in these conditions.
Daniel Eckersley: Quietly, the no-stopping Russell is 11th.
Postpublished at 10:50 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2020
So many talking points. Another one to keep an eye on is George Russell in 11th, hunting his first ever F1 point.
He came so close last time out in Imola, before crashing late on behind the safety car.
A long way to go, but he's in a decent position.

"Flat spots, flat spots..."
Verstappen spinspublished at Lap 19/58
Max Verstappen was attacking Sergio Perez for second, but loses it, wrecks his tyres and drops from third to sixth.
He can continue but instantly dives into the pits for new tyres.
'Great move'published at 10:47 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2020
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveThat was a great move from Albon on Vettel. It shows you how good the Red Bull is right now.
Postpublished at Lap 18/58
It was only for a lap, and only because everyone else around him had pitted earlier, but Alexander Albon can always say he led a grand prix.

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveHamilton was probably about an inch from going into the back of Vettel. There is no grip off the racing line.
