He was the driver that was complaining about cold tyres behind the safety car and something has gone wrong terribly for Charles Leclerc and he would be bitterly disappointed, the Monegasque driver.

Russell: "Have I served my penalty or not? I spent about 10 seconds in the pit lane. Presumably I..."

Engineer: "Let's talk about it after."

Russell: "I just need to know if I need a five-second penalty and I'm stuck behind Hadjar on hard."

Engineer: "George, George I'll give you the messages as they come through."

Charles Leclerc has crashed at the restart!

It's a nightmare for home driver Leclerc, who goes straight on at the final corner, just like Lance Stroll a few moments ago.

Safety car, we need you again!

Sure enough, George Russell is on the radio to ask his pit wall what is going. Mercedes say they're checking all communications, and now the safety car is heading in...

So it doesn't look like George Russell has served his five-second penalty correctly, or he didn't serve it at all. There seemed to be a bit of confusion down at Mercedes - Kimi Antonelli's pit stop was also a bit slow.

Leclerc: "I don't even know why I listen. I know we need to become better. Why are you not letting me out. I don't even understand you're explanation to be honest"

Charles Leclerc is still venting his frustrations on the Ferrari team radio - the home driver is not happy at all. Oscar Piastri served his penalty under the safety car and is now in seventh place, behind Pierre gasly, who wasn't pitted by Alpine.

Now are we going to get lapped cars able to overtake the safety car. What happens now?

McLaren's Lando Norris speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live after retiring his car: "I don't know [what the issue was], I just got told to retire. My pace to Pierre was much better, he got past in the beginning at Turn One, now he gets a penalty so that was my chance to be there and get some more points. Nothing really matters, just got to finish the race and I can't do that at the moment.

"These are just issues, I leave it to the pros to sort it out, the team are working hard to figure it out. There is a lot of stuff going on and I seem to be getting unlucky often but that's life."

The timing of the safety car isn't the best for race leader Kimi Antonelli but he eventually makes it in to take on the soft tyre and head back out to lead the field around.

George Russell also comes in, but now the Briton is behind Isack Hadjar once again and sits in fifth.

Leclerc: "Why the hell are we pitting? Why aren't we staying out?"

Ferrari ring the bell and double stack Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Both drivers take on the soft compound - and Hamilton serves his five-second penalty - and they come out in their positions of second and third.

Leclerc has some words for his pit wall, though...

Stroll: "I'm OK"

Lance Stroll has stopped at the final corner after going into the barrier and now the safety car is deployed.

The yellow flags are waving, has someone found themselves in trouble? Yes - it's Lance Stroll in the Aston Martin!

Engineer: "Kimi, fastest lap. We don't need them"

Kimi Antonelli is told to forget the fastest laps - there's no extra points this year. Pete Bonnington is trying to make sure his young protege doesn't make any silly mistakes from the lead of this race.

Antonelli: "There's something weird with the engine up the hill!"

Engineer: "Don't worry about it"

Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson are still in the points for Alpine and Racing Bulls. Both drivers have stopped, but Arvid Lindblad, who produced an actual overtake a few laps ago, is in ninth but yet to pit.

No investigation for George Russell crossing the white line of the pit exit. Phew! Carry on with just the five seconds, George. The Briton is in fourth, one lap behind team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
