    These Ferraris are allowed to fight - and fight they are! That was a bit rude from Leclerc. Mattia Binotto sitting folded arms on the pitwall as the Ferrariis fight and let Max get away.

  2. Sergio Perez started P13 but the Mexican driver is now up to seventh having just completed a stunning move on the Haas of Mick Schumacher.

  3. Someone has been given a slap on the wrist. Alex Albon has been handed a five-second penalty for forcing Lando Norris off the track at Turn Three.

  4. Max Verstappen is in possession of a 2.731s to Charles Leclerc in second but the two Scuderia drivers are racing like true rivals. Carlos Sainz goes up the inside of Charles Leclerc but the Monegasque man retakes second position just a few moments later.

    This is the problem when you're battling your team-mate. You're more tentative and that got a little bit clumsy.

  6. The two Ferraris are giving us box office entertainment as Carlos Sainz tries to make a move on Charles Leclerc, but the Monegasque driver holds firm and stays in the second place.

  7. Sergio Perez has gained five places, while the Aston Martin of Sebastian Vettel has made up sixth spots to sit in P14.

  8. Lewis Hamilton has pulled his Mercedes up past the Williams of Alex Albon to slot into 10th position.

    Reminiscent of Silverstone last weekend. Gasly moved across and didn't realise there was two cars there and Hamilton had nowhere to go.

  11. Contact on the first lap between Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly. The Alpha Tauri came alongside the Mercedes and makes contact. Gasly has dropped down to 18th place.

  12. Lewis Hamilton has dropped down to 11th place as Alex Albon has past the Mercedes to move up into the top 10. Remember, the first eight drivers will receive points today.

  13. Hang on a minute, Charles Leclerc isn't finished and after being caught napping by his Ferrari buddy, he takes his second place back. Max Verstappen is still out in front.

  14. But Carlos Sainz has jumped his team-mate Charles Leclerc and moves into second!

  15. Max Verstapen gets a good start ahead of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

  16. Go! Go! Go!

    No pit stops and stay on the same tyres.

  17. Zhou Guanyu will be starting from the pit lane, the other other 18 drivers, it's as you were on the grid.

  18. Fernando Alonso is being pushed back to the Alpine garage. The Spaniard will not be starting this sprint race.

    Zhou ground to a halt coming out of the final turn. Now he's got a bit of drive so he pulls away. So an extra formation lap and we might lose a race lap.

  20. Team radio - Alfa Romeo to Zhou

    "So, Zhou, keep last position and we will have to start from the pit lane."
