    Oh no! George Russell peels away from the frontrunners and ends up in the barriers in sector two!

    Pick up the pace, George, asks Lewis Hamilton to his pit wall. Russell is in the final podium place but will the seven-time world champion nick it from his team-mate? Decisions.

    Carlos Sainz is almost there...

    They are slowing each other down the Mercedes, they need to try and maximise the DRS zones but now this has allowed Lando Norris to escape a little down the road.

    The top four are in a line as the Singapore Grand Prix nears its conclusion. The Mercedes are on fresh medium tyres but Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz are working together to keep those Silver Arrows at arm's length!

    The two Mercedes are now close to each other as Carlos Sainz is able to pull slightly away from the pack. Lando Norris still running in seconds but George Russell is under threat from Lewis Hamilton.

    DRS is now wide open for Lando Norris, six-tenths seconds is now the gap, could Lando grab his first ever Formula 1 win that he's come so close at times.

    Looks like Alex Albon has stopped at Turn 13. Safety car? Nope. Green flag and no harm done. Carlos Sainz thinks his tyres are done.

    George Russell tries his luck on Lando Norris but the McLaren stays ahead!

    Max Verstappen gains a place and shuffles past the Alpine of Pierre Gasly for sixth place. Something we haven't seen in quite while.

    Lando Norris is powering down on Carlos Sainz and the gap now between the McLaren and Ferrari is half a second. But don't forget those Mercedes on fresher tyres just behind...

    "Gap to Lando every lap," asks Carlos Sainz to his pit wall. The McLaren is a second down the road but the two Mercedes are the ones to watch now in the closing stages.

    I think George needs to find a little bit more pace if he wants to win this race, he is 5.2 seconds behind Lando Norris.

    Strike distance confirmed. Three laps and George can try and take a bite out of Lando.
