    George Russell is now responding with what is going to be the new fastest lap of the race. That is trading between those two Mercedes, it doesn't look like that immediate threat from Verstappen is going to come.

  7. Lap 9/70

    Max Verstappen hasn't been a fan of his set-up this weekend, but his Red Bull gave him the juice to pass the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. The Dutchman then spies a chance to pass Lewis Hamilton at Turn One, who has told his team he has got no power.

    I suspect George and many of the others were so nervous about tyre temperature, going into that first sequence of corners. I saw a couple of drivers in the F2 race earlier on coming out of the pits on cold tyres and having zero grip.

    George Russell is gaining rapidly on his team-mate Kimi Antonelli. The Italian is pushing hard on his soft tyres and locks up at Turn 13 as Russell gets alongside.

    The championship leader has to settle for second place after that move, with Lewis Hamilton in third and Russell back in front where he started in P1.

    it is all very, very close and everybody who started the race on intermediate tyres, now peeling into the pits to get rid of them. It clearly wasn't the right decision. The rain never came, it may have got them off the line in the better way, certainly in the hand sof Lando Norris. But, they were never going to last very long.

    Lando Norris has a wobble at the first chicane on his cold yellow rubber. His engineer is straight on the radio to say we're going long here, mate! The world champion is in 14th place after that pit stop.
