Alonso: Think about plan B, we're so slow.
Engineer: Yeah we're looking into it mate.

Wheel-to-wheel racing for Sebastian Vettel on his final F1 outing. The Alpine of Esteban Ocon is his target but the young Frenchman once again closes the shutters on the four-time world champion.

Sainz: I don't agree

Sebastian Vettel is holding firm in ninth spot and has Esteban Ocon in his sights for eighth. The Frenchman isn't in the mood just yet to give the retiring German a helping hand and bats away Vettel's attack to stay in eighth.

George Russell has asked the question and Mercedes have given the green light to duke it out. The 24-year-old makes it to Turn Nine, just like Carlos Sainz, pulls to the outside and breezes past his seven-time world champion buddy.
