  1. Hamilton passes Sainz, just too much speed in a drag race on the straight. That's fourth. Next on the Hamilton radar is Sainz's team-mate Charles Leclerc.

    Andrew Ogley: Was Netflix in the Mercedes camp again today any chance? There are other streaming services available.

    Ben: Now I just want Perez to get a point. Just one, that's all.

    Norris, Leclerc and Sainz closing up keeps second closer for Hamilton but it does make each individual overtake harder.

  4. How they stand

    1. Verstappen
    2. Norris +12.3
    3. Leclerc +13.6
    4. Sainz +14.9
    5. Hamilton +15
    6. Ricciardo +27.4

    That is unbelievable. Perez and Vettel's wheels were interlocked. Great stuff.

    That is for 12th.

  6. Max Verstappen has suddenly sprinted into a 10-second advantage. It's his race to lose now. Lando Norris, on the softs, is dropping back and having to hold off the attacks of Charles Leclerc.

    Carlos Sainz is fourth, then Lewis Hamilton is fifth. With 15 laps to go, you expect Hamilton to get himself on to the podium from this position.

    Didn't think I'd be saying that when he went through the gravel and into the wall.

    Darren S: Seriously, how lucky is Hamilton? Sticks it in the wall, screws his front wing, goes a lap down, red flag gives him free repairs and gets to un-lap himself.

  8. Fernando Alonso is one place away from his first points finish since he came seventh in Singapore in September 2018 before he had a couple of years away from F1.

  10. Team radio - Mercedes to Hamilton

    "Lewis, we've got Norris up in P2 on a soft tyre. That should start to drop off and push back to you."

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

    The way Hamilton has breezed past Stroll and Ricciardo is encouraging for Mercedes.

    If on a poor day, with a rare error Hamilton still finishes second...

  12. Max Verstappen's lead is at 6.4 seconds, but with wet parts of the track, this one is definitely not all over yet, as we saw when the Dutchman nearly lost in on the restart after that red flag.

  13. Jack Nicholls
    BBC Radio 5 Live F1 commentator

    Hamilton sweeps around. A tough weekend is continuing for Ricciardo.

  14. Lewis Hamilton has already advanced four places from ninth to fifth and Daniel Ricciardo in the McLaren doesn't put up much of a fight.

    Paul: And some people say f1 is boring, really?!!!!

  16. Lando Norris has one podium finish in his 39-race career, when he came third at the season-opening in Austria last year.

    With 22 laps to go, he's second.

  17. Team radio - Stroll to Aston Martin

    Stroll: "What's happening with the shifts?!!"

    Aston Martin: "It keeps losing sync at the moment, Lance. We're looking into it."

  18. Tougher tests to come for Hamilton

    Jolyon Palmer

    That was a nice move from Hamilton on Stroll. I think the next moves will be harder because those drivers are fighting for what could be their best result of the season.

  19. Max Verstappen's lead is 4 seconds over Lando Norris, with Charles Leclerc 1.4 further back in third.

  20. Lewis Hamilton is on the charge. He was ninth on the restart, but he's catching a few quickly and is just too good and too quick for Lance Stroll, zooming down the inside for sixth and he gets the fastest lap from Verstappen.

    That's a bonus point for whoever gets the fastest lap as long as they end in the top 10.
