  1. Are we going to see a driver miss out on races because they're on the treatment table due to back injuries?

    George Russell is in a strong position in third. He might have enough of a lead over Pierre Gasly in fourth to pit again and still finish ahead of him to finish on the podium.

  5. Max Verstappen has increased his advantage over team-mate Sergio Perez to seven seconds, which is no surprise, as the world champion has the purple fastest lap marker parked firmly next to his name on the leaderboard.

  6. Poor old Esteban Ocon. World champion number three is now hunting the Frenchman. It's team-mate Fernando Alonso, who waves goodbye to Ocon as he slips into ninth.

  7. Lewis Hamilton has reached the papaya McLaren of Daniel Ricciardo. The Mercedes pulls out and makes the move without any fuss to take fifth.

    That is Zhou Guanyu's third retirement in four races in the Alfa Romeo. It was a fragile car in testing and it remains a fragile car as the season progresses.

  9. Max Verstappen can relax slightly out in front thanks to his six-second advantage. Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel banks the eighth place from Esteban Ocon and the Aston Martin now has Yuki Tsunoda in his sights.

    Rob: Oh, Ferrari. Oh,Ferrari. Wrap this championship up in a pretty little bow and hand it to Red Bull.

    Josh: Wow, disaster for Ferrari

    Sho: Ferrari throwing away the constructor's and title. At this rate Red Bull will cruise to both.

  17. Charles Leclerc had a 46-point lead in the drivers' championship in the early days of the season.

  18. Team radio - Gasly

    "Finally!"

    I wonder how hard Ferrari were having to run that engine to counter Red Bull's pace? They were clearly running it too hard and the engine has gone pop.

  20. George Russell is up to third now after Leclerc's heartbreak.
