    It is interesting that everyone, bar those two Alpines really, certaining amongst the front runners are on the medium tyres, having done the first stint on the soft. I think coming into the weekend, most people predicted it would be the hard tyres that would be the preferred tyre. When it got to race day, starting on one of those harder compounds would have been so compromising at the race start, that they all opted for a soft tyres to get off the line quicker.

    Kimi Antonelli has some breathing space now and has a decent gap to Max Verstappen in second place. The Italian is also clocking fastest laps on those medium tyres.

    He's out with some kind of technical failure, he grinds to a halt and gets out of the car but he stops the car in a difficult position. There is going to be a safety car which is going to eliminate that lead of Kimi Antonelli. Everyone is going to close up behind him. It will give everyone who hasn't had a pit stop yet, a cheap one to do that.

    They [ Mercedes] are pulling away. It shows the difference between the Mercedes and the rest. Right now. I think largely, for the most part of the season so far but even more so bringing the raft of upgrades, many of which that seem to be working.
