    For all the talk we have had this season about Mercedes struggling, and they have been, they have also managed to pick up considerable points when they haven't had a great weekend, which is the measure of a strong team.

  11. Lando Norris is given a shopping list of strategy calls for what McLaren intend to do with their two drivers as we edge towards the end of the race.

  12. Pierre Gasly didn't try and fight the Silver Arrow attack. Those points are all that matter.

  13. Team radio - to Gasly

    AlphaTauri: "Keep it on track. We need to secure these points, which would be a tremendous finish for us."

  14. Lap 44 and the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton goes clear of the Alpha Tauri of Pierre Gasly and moves himself up into fourth place.

  16. Unless Baku delivers some of its trademark madness in the next few laps, Verstappen, Perez and Russell will be our podium top three.

  17. Team radio - Norris

    Lando Norris: "Tell him we need to push some more, I don't want to get stuck behind Daniel and let in Ocon."

    McLaren: "I am on it."

  18. Lando Norris, who is ninth, is next on the radio and he tells McLaren to tell Daniel Ricciardo to get a move on.

    Andrew: Sure we’ll just stick some duct tape on it and send him back out to drive at 200mph down the main straight!

    Amit: Yeah just tape it up lads

  20. Team radio - Verstappen

    Red Bull: 47.5 from now on Max, your last lap was 47.0.

    Verstappen: "You sure? I don't want the tyres to get too cold."

    Red Bull: "OK, you are right."

    Verstappen: "I don't mind, tell me what you think is best."

    Red Bull: "No, you are OK. But no DRS until the end of the race."
