    Lewis Hamilton has not pitted in this race yet and with this team-mate George Russell coming up behind, the seven-time world champion gives his blessing for the 25-year-old to go through and take sixth spot.

    The gap at the front is not coming down very quickly.

    It is going to be tight - a bit too tight, if you are Checo.

    Carlos Sainz is back in the top four thanks to an easy pass on the Alpine of Esteban Ocon. At least the Frenchman is still in the top five following a dreadful start for Alpine this season.

    With the championship so tight between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, that extra point for the fastest lap could be crucial. The Mexican has the purple speedy stopwatch camped beside his name for the moment.

    "For me this pushing too much is not good for the tyres. I don't agree with this."

    Fernando Alonso is not giving up on a podium place that easily. The Ferrari of Carlos Sainz needs to be moved to claim fourth spot and, with a little trepidation, the two-time world champion completes his task. Fernando is in P4, Sainz drops to fifth and Esteban Ocon is running in third.

    Oh dear. Usually drivers are telling engineers to stop talking to them, but Lance Stroll flips that on its head by telling his pit wall to give him some information on the race.

    Max Verstappen is trying to give some instructions to his engineer, but Gianpiero Lambiase basically tells the world champion to concentrate on driving and let him deal with the strategy stuff.

    Fernando Alonso has reached "minus 12." The Aston Martin driver is into the pits and comes out behind Carlos Sainz in fifth place.

    That is a howler from Sainz.

    He was desperate to get the undercut on Alonso and he was all locked up coming into the pits and he couldn't slow it down in time.

    The crowd stand up and applause as George Russell lifts his Mercedes up into P9 at the expense of the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll at Turn Nine.

    A 2.2secs stop for Sergio Perez and he's back out sharpish on a set of hard tyres.

    Carlos Sainz has put the work in since his pit stop and the Ferrari passes the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg to go fifth.
