    Race engineer: "Box, box, now."

    Lewis Hamilton: "No, no, my tyres are still good."

    A few drivers did manage to dive into the pits under that VSC but the frontrunners stayed out. Charles Leclerc is still out in front from Kimi Antonelli but Ferrari want Lewis Hamlton to come in for a stop - but he thinks his tyres are still good.

  3. Team Radio - Hamilton to Ferrari

    Lewis Hamilton: "Oh jeez mate, that's so much understeer it's crazy. The car just won't turn."

    I am an avid fan of George Russell, and I am hoping that that he can pull out all of the stops to win on his home turf!!!

    Well that is extraordinary, he just came out of Woodcote, did Max Verstappen, and he has had so much more momentum. He's obviously used his overtake boost and George was a sitting duck.

  6. Virtual safety car for umbrella

    Lap 22/52

    There was a rogue umbrella on track! A marshal ran out quickly to clear the danger, so the virtual safety car was only up for a few corners.

  7. Lap 21/22

    Charles Leclerc is 3.5 seconds clear of the title leader Kimi Antonelli as the pit windows begin to open. Lewis Hamilton is nine seconds back on his team-mate Leclerc, with a five-second time penalty.

    The virtual safety car is deployed - and you won't guess what it is for...

    Hamilton has done the team job. Gave his team-mate every chance of winning it by backing up the young Italian.

    Isack Hadjar, on his fresh hard tyres, needs to clear Gabriel Bortoleto first after his pit stop. The Frenchman hits the boost button fairly quickly and takes the Brazilian's ninth spot. Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen is sixth.

  10. Lap 19/52

    Isack Hadjar is called in by next by Red Bull from sixth place to follow on from team-mate Max Verstappen's stop. The Frenchman is in and out and rejoins in 10th.

  11. Lap 18/52

    Max Verstappen will start to gain places once the rest of the field start to file in for their pit stops - and Lewis Hamilton in third has that five-second time penalty. The Dutchman has switched on to the hard tyres for his next stint.

    Another Grand Prix when Russell looks nowhere near Antonelli. Is it set-up? Strategy or is Antonelli just better?

  13. Verstappen overtakes Russell

    Lap 17/52

    The Red Bull of Max Verstappen has climbed from seventh to fourth now, with a pass on Brit George Russell completed with ease. There was no yo-yo racing this time, so Russell has to make do with fifth place.

    Move complete, Verstappen comes in to pit and comes out in seventh place.

  14. Lap 16/42

    Charles Leclerc has 4.3 seconds to play with as he leads at Silverstone after jumping polesitter Kimi Antonelli at lights out.

    Max Verstappen, meanwhile, wants to take that fourth place off George Russell and is hanging on to the Mercedes driver with every corner. An overtake could be coming up.

    Downshift troubles or not Max Verstappen is closing in on George Russell's Mercedes. Russell can't do anything about the cars in front it seems but he has got lots of pressure building from Verstappen from behind.

  16. Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent at Silverstone

    At the front, you would have expected Kimi Antonelli to start closing on Charles Leclerc in the lead but he isn't doing. At the moment three laps in a row Leclerc has held him absolutely dead level. Very impressive from Charles Leclerc.

  17. Verstappen looking to pass Russell

    Lap 15/52

    Max Verstappen has climbed the order and is now running in fifth place. The Red Bull driver, second last week in Austria, is hoping to battle the Mercedes of George Russell for fourth spot soon.

    It looks like the British Grand Prix might be over for Alex Albon. The Williams has come into the pits after his contact in the opening stages of this race.

    I’m sorry but the false start rules are too harsh. Lewis moved like 1cm and stopped before moving away when the lights went out. He gained zero advantage.

    Edward, Perth

    A five-second time penalty, what a killer early on.

    Simon, Peterborough

    Aagghh! That’s a brutal penalty there because Lewis moved slightly before then. Still, that’s the rules. We can’t argue with them.

    Charles Leclerc is clocking fastest laps in his pursuit of a first grand prix victory since 2024. The Mercedes of Kimi Antoneli is 4.5 seconds behind in second after passing the other Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton a few laps ago. Nine-time world champion Hamilton also has a five-second time penalty for company.

    This is the deployment everyone is talking about, the ability the Mercedes has to put the juice from the battery to the electric motor and into the rear wheels better than anyone else.
