Warm-up is bad on this tyre, just do what you can.
Yellow flagpublished at 06:40 British Summer Time 10 April 2022
The latest to stop is Lewis Hamilton. He comes out ahead of Sergio Perez but a few laps later the Mexican flies by on warming tyres. That's him back into effectively third.
Oh. Yellow flags are waving...

In comes Charles Leclerc.
Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo is released from the pit lane into a battle between Stroll and Albon. He has to use all of his experience to keep them behind on cold tyres.

Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 LiveBarring any difficulties for Charles Leclerc, he seems to have the race completely under control right now.
Perez pitspublished at Lap 21/58
Perez limits the damage and comes into the pits before Hamilton can pass. That leaves Hamilton in second, 17 seconds behind leader Charles Leclerc.
Lando Norris has pitted and dropped into 12th. Sergio Perez comes out in ninth.

Hamilton took more than a second out of Perez on the last lap which has given us this tussle.

Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 LiveMax Verstappen was almost forced into that pitstop with the tyre problems he was suffering. This wasn't some kind of gamble to overcome Charles Leclerc - he is too far back. Crucially, they are going to struggle with warm-up now. This is no threat to the Ferrari of Leclerc - he is out front on his own and can do what he wants.

Where has this come from?!
Lewis Hamilton has closed right up on Sergio Perez...

Verstappen emerges in seventh but he's got Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly right behind him. He's going to have to get heat in those tyres quickly to keep them behind.

Red Bull and Max Verstappen blink first. Into the pits he comes. A good stop and onto the hard tyre.

Fourth-placed Lewis Hamilton looks to have wriggled free of danger from his team-mate George Russell for now at least.
At the front Charles Leclerc is cruising. He's 8.6 seconds clear.

Team: "OK Kev?"
Magnussen: "Yeah, my bad. Sorry."

Kevin Magnussen's heart leaps out of his mouth and is rattling around his helmet as he tries to take on Alfa's Zhou Guanyu but ends up skidding across the grass.
He holds it. Just.

Plan A plus five sounds like a good thing to me...
The pit stops are starting among those further back. Fernando Alonso, currently 10th, is the only one in top 10 on the hard tyre. The rest are on the mediums.
Valtteri Bottas gets the job done on Yuki Tsunoda for 11th.

We are going Plan A plus five.

The replays show Verstappen's front left locking up big time. We have said he's had pace all weekend but he's never really had his car under control at any point.
Leclerc leads by 5.3 seconds now. Ferrari must be feeling pretty happy about this.
