    "One stop" nice fib to the others George

    David, Caerphilly

  2. No further investigation on Hamilton

    So the stewards aren't going to get involved with the incident between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen's wheel-to-wheel battle earlier.

    And shortly after that decision, they battle once again as Verstappen takes the position from Hamilton before the Brit takes it back...only for Max to take third back for a second time!

  3. Team radio - McLaren to Norris

    Engineer: "We're going to stay out. you'll get clean air, we're going to extend."

    Norris: "Yeah but I've got no more pace so... this is it."

  4. So Lando Norris is staying out but he doesn't sound too enthused about that prospect given his issues with the McLaren today.

    He's 11.23 seconds behind current race leader Kimi Antonelli after 21 laps.

    [Verstappen is on] six lap fresher rubber, that is going to give him a significant pace advantage. I think Verstappen is going to get Hamilton relatively easily.

  6. Verstappen comes into the pits

    So has the undercut from Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton on Max Verstappen worked?

    Well Verstappen comes into the pits for a set of hards and he comes out behind Hamilton and in sixth place.

    Meanwhile, race leader George Russell comes into the pits shortly after meaning he'll have to go 51 laps on the hard tyre if he is planning a one-stop.

  7. Team radio - Hamilton to Ferrari

    Hamilton: "Pace is OK?"

    Engineer: "Better now, you are faster than Charles."

  8. A one-stop, George? In this economy?!

  9. Team radio - Russell to Mercedes

    Russell: "I think it's all surface overheating. The one stop may be possible."

    In all respect, you wonder if Ferrari are three-stopping, doesn't it? The others extending quite significantly, they are obviously not going in the same strategy race.

    Now Ferrari are getting to grips with the car, I think Lewis has got another Championship in him! Go Lewis!

    Joe, Malvern

    This is incredible racing! First Kimi vs Charles, then Max Vs Lewis, and there’s still 55+ laps left!

    Jacob, Cardiff

    Ferrari must be suffering on this first stint. The drivers must be wishing the laps run out faster and do the pits! Leclerc falling behind with every lap and Hamilton struggling to keep ahead of Verstappen, no longer chasing Russell.

    Lewis is in the middle of the pack now, this lap is critical. is pitstop was 2.4 seconds so decent stop from his Ferrari crew but absolutely, this is critical.

  14. So, back to the front.

    George Russell leads Max Verstappen by 5.3 seconds after 15 laps of this race. Max certainly looks in decent shape now.

    Meanwhile Lewis Hamilton's been noted for forcing another driver off the track after his battle with Verstappen.

  15. Are Ferrari conceding they're a bit too hot on their tyres?

    Well they've brought in Charles Leclerc and stuck a set of hards on his car, too.

    Could they be going for a three-stop?

  16. Team radio - Ferrari to Hamilton

    Engineer: "Out lap critical. Let's go"

  17. Hamilton pits

    Shortly after his epic battle with Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton brings his Ferrari into the pits.

    They deploy the hard tyre onto his car and he comes out in 11th, just in front of Esteban Ocon.

    14 laps gone and plenty of entertainment so far.

  18. Sam Bird
    Formula E driver on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Fantastic driving from two world champions there [Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen]. In the meantime, George Russell now five seconds up the road due to the fighting, this intense fighting between Lewis and Max.

  19. Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent

    [Charles Leclerc] was told tyre degradation is as expected, he wasn't saying that himself. It is the team informing him about the others around him and his own.

  20. Team radio - Verstappen to Red Bull

    Verstappen: "That's a penalty, clear penalty"
