George Russell needs to show off his defensive prowess now as a charging Red Bull is closing him down.
World champion Verstappen is on Russell's tail but a radio message confirms the DRS flap is still very much dodgy.
"Max, just so you are aware, DRS did work on that lap."

I'm really surprised at that the obvious call would be to say to Max Verstappen do whatever George Russell doesn't do.
The home fans need to something to celebrate and Carlos Sainz, despite his earlier gravel trip, is trying to make it happen.
The Ferrari man breezes past his old McLaren chum Lando Norris and is now running in ninth place.

Tony Driver: The first time VER is taking on RUS for legitimate racing?
The gap between Russell and Verstappen is 0.935 seconds.
Both drivers come into the pits, Russell comes out in fourth, Verstappen in fifth. Valtteri Bottas in the Alfa Romeo moves up into third.
"Max, info...
"DRS did not open last lap. Keep trying."
"Why have I got cool car warnings? I've got no-one in front of me."
Russell's engineer confirms the cooling warning is correct and not an error.

Jennifer Harris: By lap 8 Fernando Alonso has moved from p20 to p13. You can clearly see why he's not ready to retire. If only Alpine could give him the car he deserves.
George Russell is on the team radio asking why he is getting a warning his car is overheating.

The gap between Charles Leclerc and George Russell is 9.548 seconds but Russell has Sergio Perez breathing down his neck.
Not more, however, as Max Verstappen has now taken the place of his team-mate Perez.

That mishap, which is being put down to the wind, has pushed Verstappen out of the top three and down into fourth,
The Mercedes of George Russell has shifted up into second. Sergio Perez is in third.
Charles Leclerc still leads.

Verstappen's in the gravel! The reigning champion has dropped back down to fourth. What a rare error from Verstappen.
What is going on?
Verstappen, like Sainz, slides into the gravel at Turn 4 with no other driver around him.
