  2. Lap 46/58

    Perez on Hamilton: Take two. Checo has his sights set on second place in the standings and to the delight of some Mexican fans in the crowd, moves through on the Mercedes man to take third place.

  3. Team Radio - Perez

    Engineer: Can't lose time here, pass Hamilton, time to pass Hamilton

    But the worry I had for Sergio Perez is Lewis Hamilton is a smooth operator, really difficult to pass, and Perez is making too many mistakes right now.

  5. Team Radio - Leclerc

    Leclerc: I don't think I will come back if we box.

  6. Lap 45/58

    The Red Bull of Sergio Perez is gaining rapidly on the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, but first he needs to pick off the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. A small lock-up for the Mexican but he goes through on the seven-time world champion. The battle is over, however, as Hamilton just bides his time and passes the Red Bull seconds later with the help of a DRS and a decent slipstream.

  7. Lap 44/58

    Sebastian Vettel will want to collect points on his last grand prix and Zhou Guanyu in the Alfa Romeo is dispatched to lift the Aston Martin driver back into 10th place.

  8. Team Radio - Perez

    Perez: at this stage, are we going to catch Leclerc?

    Engineer: Yeah, this pace is good.

  9. Lap 43/58

    Sergio Perez has moved through to fourth place and Red Bull are happy that the Mexican has the pace to catch up with his championship rival Charles Leclerc, who has only stopped once in the race so far.

    It is interesting what the front two are both going to do. I am assuming they are both going to only stop once. If Max Verstappen comes in he is basically handing the race win to the one person he didn't want to today - Charles Leclerc.

  11. Team Radio - Verstappen

    Engineer: What are your thoughts at this stage?

    Verstappen: I am ok for now, I think the last 10 laps will be critical.

  12. Breaking

    Lap 42/58

    A five-second time penalty is handed to Mick Schumacher after the Haas driver tagged the rear tyre of Nicholas Latifi's Williams at Turn Five a few moments ago.

  13. Lap 40/58

    Carlos Sainz and George Russell come into the Ferrari and Mercedes pits for a change of rubber. Sainz comes out behind Lando Norris but quickly shifts passed the McLaren and goes into fifth. George Russell was ninth but the Mercedes picks off the other papaya car of Daniel Ricciardo to sir eighth.

  14. Team Radio - Hamilton

    Don't leave me on a one stop, mate.

  15. Get Involved

    #bbcf1

    Richard Cassidy: C'mon Leclerc! That is all.

    Bethonie Waring: Charles Leclerc's anxiety dreams definitely include a voice in his ear going "question".

  16. Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Realistically, Sergio Perez needs to be a second-and-a-half quicker than Charles Leclerc on every lap AND he has to get past both Mercedes.

  17. Lap 39/58

    A crash! Mick Schumacher and Nicholas Latifi, who are both leaving at the end of this season, have become tangled on lap 39. The drivers are back on the road. No safety car for that incident.

  18. Top six

    1. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

    2. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)

    3. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)

    4. George Russell (Mercedes)

    5. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)

    6. Sergio Perez (Red Bull)

  19. Team Radio - Perez

    Engineer: Expect Leclerc to go to the end.

  20. 'I am saying plan C is a one-stop'

    Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Ferrari have got to react. They either come in this lap and go toe to toe with Sergio Perez or do you be brave, box Carlos Sainz and keep Charles Leclerc out there and see if he can go to the end and take second place.

    I am saying plan C is a one-stop.
