Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's a one - prancing - horse race. Charles Leclerc has been dominant.
Postpublished at Lap 48/58
Charles Leclerc is so confident he is asking if he can pit to set the fastest lap before the end.
The lead is 14.3 seconds.
He's cruising it.

Further back, Alex Albon, still yet to stop, is in seventh. A fine effort from him.
There's a big queue behind ninth-placed Lance Stroll with Pierre Gasly, Valtteri Bottas, Fernando Alonso, Mick Schumacher and Zhou Guanyu all involved.
10 laps to go.

Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe big winners here are Mercedes because they are nailed on for a podium. Who is it going to be though? George Russell is in third but Lewis Hamilton has potentially been looking after his tyres and is just behind in fourth.
Postpublished at Lap 46/58
Max Verstappen can only watch on as Charles Leclerc's Ferrari seems to gleam even redder as his leads over Sergio Perez grows beyond 13 seconds.
It looks like Lewis Hamilton might close up right behind team-mate George Russell by the end. He's currently 1.5 seconds back in fourth. That will be interesting.

Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 LiveYou are only allowed to make one move - one change of direction. It wasn't in a braking zone but Lance Stroll was weaving back and forth to keep Valtteri Bottas behind him.
Postpublished at Lap 44/58
Lance Stroll has been given a five-second penalty for weaving on the straight.
Just on the potential driver standings after this... Charles Leclerc would be 46 points clear of Max Verstappen.

Quixoticgeek: Red Bull gives you... flames?
Tom McQuillin: The season is all but over at this point - it’s clear that the Red Bull power unit doesn’t have the reliability for a title fight. Even if Verstappen wins every race he finishes, there’s going to be multiple races he doesn’t finish. Ferrari and Leclerc will walk this.
Jess Walker: Max Verstappen is out. Hamilton and Russell have a chance to win.

George Russell would go second in the driver standings if things stay like this...

Perez: "What was the problem with Max?"
Team: "Don't worry about Max. Not relevant on our car."

I can smell some weird fluid.

The Max fans have their hands on their heads in the stands.
There is smoke coming from his car - fire at the back too.
