    Lewis Hamilton is unleashing now!

    This is the Hamilton pace we saw over one lap on Friday. Now we're seeing what he can do. He can smell blood from the Ferrari in front.

    "Full push to the end," say Ferrari to Leclerc, will that full push be enough?

    A race ban for Hamilton would be ludicrous but it must hurt Red Bull seeing Hamilton still out on track.

    Hamilton will be eating into that Verstappen advantage that he built up over the last couple of races.

    Hamilton is on the charge. He can sense an eighth win at Silverstone.

    Calling for a race ban for Lewis Hamilton is madness in my opinion.

    I don't mind a discussion on five second, 10-second penalty, was it a risky move?

    I can see the arguments either way, but it wasn't a reckless, dangerous manoeuvre.

  7. Quick votepublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 18 July 2021

    Who wins? Thumbs up for Leclerc, thumbs down for Hamilton

    Another quick vote to get involved in. Who wins? Thumbs up for Leclerc, thumbs down for Hamilton

  8. Postpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 18 July 2021

    Hamilton closing in on Leclerc fast. Can the Ferrari man hang on to this one, or is Hamilton, even after serving a 10-second penalty going to win this?

  10. 'Verstappen was feeling lightheaded'published at 16:44 British Summer Time 18 July 2021

    Jennie Gow
    BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporter at Silverstone

    I'm hearing Max Verstappen was feeling lightheaded after the impact, which was big, around 51G, which we are waiting for conformation on.

    But a big impact and he's been taken to a local hospital and they are going to do a CT scan on him when he gets there.

    A really nasty incident for Verstappen.

  11. Postpublished at 16:44 British Summer Time 18 July 2021

    Valtteri Bottas moves over and Lewis Hamilton is now second. He's eight seconds behind Charles Leclerc and has 11 laps to get him for a win.

    Ben: Max would have won easy...

    Nulla Pax: If I was Max I would be smiling. Mercedes are beatable this season.

  13. Team orderspublished at 16:43 British Summer Time 18 July 2021

    Valtteri Bottas gets told to "not hold up" Lewis Hamilton.

    The act of a team that doesn't rate Bottas any more?

  14. Postpublished at 16:43 British Summer Time 18 July 2021

    Sergio Perez gets some mediums tyres on but he's down in 16th so he's going to have to do something to get in the points from here.

    We're at lap 39 now, this is how it was at lap 35.

    This will be Ferrari's first win in 33 races if Charles Leclerc sees this one out

  18. Postpublished at Lap 36/52

    Verstappen is 33 points clear in the drivers' championship and at the moment Hamilton is on course to pick up 16, 15 for being third plus the fastest lap point.

    That would leave the Dutchman 17 ahead before we go to Hungary in a fortnight.
