The McLaren of Lando Norris is keeping Lewis Hamilton quiet and holding on to the runners-up spot. Pierre Gasly is the next driver to try his luck on a Ferrari but this time, Carlos Sainz's hard tyres keep him in the game and 10th place.
Pierre Gasly has a problem...

Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 LiveTen laps can Lewis Hamilton find a way past Lando Norris, I think for Norris now, Lewis has spent the last four laps really on the back of his gear box and has been pushing really hard in all traction zones and all high-speed corners to try and get close, has that taken that little bit of bite out of those soft tyres.

Lap 44/52
Carlos Sainz is under pressure from the Red Bull of Sergio Perez. The Spaniard is caught and loses seventh place.
Here comes the Williams of Alex Albon. Is he going to pick off Sainz too? Yes he is! Albon is in eighth.
Oh no. Not another one. Team-mate Charles Leclerc adds the final blow and Sainz now finds himself in 10th spot.

Will it be Lando Norris finishing second or the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton?
The stewards have made their decision on the Stroll-Gasly incident and have decided the Aston Martin didn't gain an advantage by going off the track. Carry on.

Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe grip advantage on the soft tyre is absolutely crazy, Lewis is able to take tighter radiuses and carry higher minimum speeds through the corners, however Lando has hung on in what was a really critical phase of that re-start.

Lap 41/52
George Russell is chasing the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri but the Briton is on the radio to say those papaya cars are quick.
Pierre Gasly is fuming with Lance Stroll. The Alpine driver thinks the Canadian gained his 11th place in a naughty way and the stewards are going to take a look at that one.
