    By the way, Daniel Ricciardo, whose car apparently had a leaking oil problem, is still in the race and not dropping down, so whatever it was, it's nothing too serious.

    He's ninth, while team-mate Norris is in the 13th spot he began today.

    Sebastian Vettel pits early and is another rolling the dice and seeing what happens.

  4. Team radio - Red Bull to Verstappenpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    "OK Max. Hamilton potentially switching to a two-stop. Looks like he's been given the hurry up. Gap is 2.8."

  5. Team radio - Red Bull to Perezpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    "OK Checo, vibrations too high. We'll have to pit."

    This was just before the Perez pit stop, he's back out there and we've still got 20 running.

    This one's not done yet though as Lewis Hamilton has just set the fastest time. He's three seconds away from Verstappen.

    Mercedes have got to think strategy here.

    They have got second and third place, they have got absolutely no threat from Sergio Perez and Pierre Gasly.

    How can Mercedes get themselves into a position here to win the grand prix? It's going to be strategy.

    This wasn't in the Perez game plan and he bins off the hards, that he just flat-spotted, and it's on to the mediums so it's at least a two-stopper for him today.

    The top six have stayed in the order they started - Verstappen, Hamilton, Bottas, Gasly, Leclerc, Sainz.

    Mercedes already may be in 'thinking outside the box' territory.

    Flawless from Verstappen at the moment, and there's a lot of happy Dutch fans here.

    Is this tyre management from Fernando Alonso or is he just genuinely slow?

  11. Postpublished at Lap 8/72

    Sergio Perez is on a damage-limitation mission and is hoping to go long on the hard tyres. But a lock-up of the boots as he tried to pass Nikita Mazepin is not what Red Bull needed.

    Perez is 18th.

    A reminder that Max Verstappen starts the day three points behind Lewis Hamilton so any win will take him back to the top.

  13. Team radio - Oconpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    "[Fernando] Alonso is slow in front."

  14. Postpublished at Lap 7/72

    Seeing the cars attacking the banking on the track is such a great sight. We've gone old school this weekend.

    Thomas Knights: Ricciardo's engine smoking and dropping oil, so 3 Mercedes engine problems this weekend now. Must be a worry for Mercedes.

    Nulla Pax: I am wearing grey .... have I got it wrong?

    Jeremiah Kariuki: That Red Bull of Max Verstappen is really flying! He just bolted off the line and the rest could only dream of a such a good start.

    Some front wing damage for Mick Schumacher, who has been overtaken by team-mate Nikita Mazepin, while they're still both ahead of the pit lane starters - Sergio Perez and Nicholas Latifi.
