  1. 'Horrible pit stop for Verstappen'

    It's a horrible stop! That could be the grand prix. Verstappen will come out in traffic.

  2. Max Verstappen came back out into traffic, but team-mate Sergio Perez plays the team player and instantly gets out of the way.

    F1 commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    These are the crucial laps of this race now.

  4. Red Bull are normally superb at pit stops, arguably the best of all 10 teams. But, by their standards, it's a poor one of 4.2 seconds.

    Could that cost him the win?

  5. Verstappen pits. Hamilton inherits the lead. Hammer time?

  6. Bottas is the first of the Mercedes pair to pit, at the lap 24 mark. He was fourth when he came in.

  7. Jolyon Palmer

    We are getting close to the time for the race leaders to pit. It could decide the race. Hamilton is within undercut range.

    Darren: Lando Norris seems a bit out of sorts today. Gap to Carlos Sainz was a bit too much for my liking.Strategy or just not hooked up?

  9. Team radio - Bottas to Mercedes

    "Struggling a bit with the rears."

  10. Daniel Ricciardo enjoying a good day so far. If he stays where he is, it will be the first time he's finished ahead of team-mate Lando Norris since moving from Renault to McLaren.

    But it's not like the Australian has done poorly, just Norris excellently. Ricciardo's McLaren finishes so far - seventh in Bahrain, sixth at Imola and ninth in Portugal.

  11. After one third of the race...

    1. Verstappen
    2. Hamilton +1.1
    3. Leclerc +8
    4. Bottas +9.1
    5. Ricciardo +17.7
    6. Perez +19.1
    7. Ocon +23.3
    8. Sainz +24.5
    9. Norris +26.4
    10. Stroll +29.7

  12. Watch those tyres

    Leclerc is driving a blinding race in third.

  14. Three world champions in 11th, 12th and 13th - Alonso, Vettel and Raikkonen.

  15. 'Red Bull have to be wary'

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    I think Verstappen is just measuring his pace. What is his tyre life like? From the three races so far I think Mercedes are stronger on degradation. Red Bull and Verstappen have to be wary not to chew through the tyres too quickly.

    Tony Parker: I reckon Bottas is driving for his Mercedes career here. If he does not podium, then Toto might be having a word with George.

  17. Pierre Gasly goes into the pits and serves his five-second penalty. They may well be looking at a two-stopper and rolling the dice. He's down in 15th and will come back out in 19th and last of those still going.

  18. Team radio - Hamilton to Mercedes

    "Tyres are starting to drop."

  19. A first radio message of tyre concern for Lewis Hamilton. That's on lap 18.

    Remember, Pirelli said optimum was 25 laps on the softs then the rest on the hards, although that early safety car may mean that it could be a move from softs to mediums later on.

  20. 'Hamilton going well'

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Hamilton is going well. Verstappen is not able to get any sort of gap. Hamilton will be in DRS range soon.
