BBC Radio 5 Live F1 commentatorHamilton on the mediums in fourth place is right behind Carlos Sainz here even though he's on the harder compound of tyre. Hamilton is the driver looking to make the most progress. Sainz is dropping back from the top two and Hamilton is really close.

Dutch W Series driverVerstappen got off the line really well and Leclerc just didn't quite get next to him enough to be able to go side by side but I think Hamilton was quite lucky there not to lose the rear at turn one touching Sainz.

Beitske Visser
Dutch W Series driverThe start will be important and through turn one you can go side by side but we saw in F2 and F3 that if you're not fully alongside you can get pushed wide and lose a lot of spots so you have to be really careful of your position.

Red Bull have an even healthier advantage in the constructors' standings, topping the table by 118 points from Ferrari.
Alpine, meanwhile, have created a tiny bit of distance between themselves and McLaren after Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon both finished in the point in Belgium.
