    As it stands Stroll has to get in front of Sainz for Racing Point to get that third place in the constructors'.

  2. George Russell is have a much duller race than last week's one appearance for Mercedes. He's 16th but with so few overtakes going on his wait for first points in the Williams look like going on, although he did collect three in the Mercedes last week.

  3. How they stand

    1. Verstappen
    2. Bottas +2.94
    3. Hamilton +4.782
    4. Albon +8.274
    5. Ricciardo +13.326
    6. Norris +14.544
    7. Sainz +19.1
    8. Vettel +20.5
    9. Leclerc +22.7
    10. Stroll +23.7

  4. Carlos Sainz is under investigation for driving too slowly in the pitlane. Nervous times for McLaren. If he gets penalised it could be a very, very costly one for his team.

  5. It's all on Lance

    Jennie Gow

    I don't think there has ever been a more pressurised race for Lance Stroll. He has the whole weight of Racing Point on his shoulders. At the moment it is not enough third in the constructors'.

    Daniel Eckersley: Really fascinated to see what Albon has now. 4th behind the 2 Mercs, no pressure from the midfield, same tyres to the end as top 3. Time to step up.

    Nick Gisburne: Having a mince pie to celebrate seeing Perez driving back to the pits in a golf cart fitted with reindeer antlers

  9. Max Verstappen leadsReuters

    Verstappen gets away cleanly from the restart. Not much to get excited about there as it remains Verstappen, Bottas, Hamilton and Albon - just as it was about 25 minutes ago.

    Daniel Ricciardo, yet to pit, is fifth. Both Ferraris also have ot stopped yet and it's seen Vettel up to seventh and Leclerc up to ninth.

  12. Team radio - Hamilton

    "I am definitely struggling with the balance. Is the floor OK?"

    The garage reply: "Aero looks good."

  13. The safety car is coming in this lap. The quietest of quiet opening 10 laps, but now they are all bunched up again.

    Could still be a race of drama.

  14. Team radio - Hamilton

    "It feels like the car is not turning."

    It works well for Verstappen. He won't be pitting again unless there is another safety car or something.

  17. The Renault of Daniel Ricciardo and the Ferraris are mixing it up by not going on to the hard tyres just yet. They may well be looking for a safety car later on.

    This might not be vintage. I am surprised Mercedes pitted both drivers. Leaving Hamiton out would have given them the chance to do something different.

    Now, everyone is planning to go to the end on these tyres and they will have to pass Verstappen on track.

    It has worked so perfectly for Verstappen. He has 40 laps of driving on a hard tyre that should go the distance.
