    Lewis Hamilton has left the pits and is comfortably ahead of Pierre Gasly. It is a nice chance to take. We are a long way from slicks in this grand prix.

    I have never seen someone make a pass in between Tabac and the swimming pool. Sometimes you have to go a bit unconventional. I have never seen someone make that move before in my life.

    Pierre Gasly has so much more pace. If he can pass these cars he is going to roar his way through the field that is what is so interesting here.

    Stephen Levett: Perez being asked to move aside for Max is as predictable as Latifi binning his Williams.
