  1. Lap 51/66

    The laps are ticking down and Lewis Hamilton is now 8.9 seconds ahead of his old Mercede team-mate George Russell. Carlo Santi is cheerleading his driver once again, telling Hamilton this stint is going well.

  2. Lap 50/66

    Lando Norris is in fourth place and after two grands prix with no points, this will be a much-needed boost. The world champion is following Kimi Antonelli for the final podium place, but he's not close enough yet to the Mercedes to mount an attack.

  3. Antonelli 'battle for second place'

    Kimi Antonelli has got his mirrors full of Lando Norris but his eyes forward on George Russell. His engineer was saying the battle is going to be between Lando Norris. I think now for him, it is a battle for second place.

  4. Lap 49/66

    Unfortunately for Lewis Hamilton, there are no Kardashians at the Barcelona circuit to cheer him on.

    George Russell can't find away to cut down the advantage Hamilton's has built for himself, so 7.8 seconds remains the gap that separates first and second.

    P1 - The Kardashian Effect

    Sean, Stoke

    I gave up watching F1 when Lewis left Mercedes - I’ve been glued to the radio all weekend. Be great to see him win in a Ferrari. Iconic car and on of the greatest drivers ever

  6. Lap 48/66

    Alex Albon is celebrating a record 96th start for Williams today but his race has been anything put memorable. "Alex came in to the pits to fix a loose camera. The team has since made changes to his car and he will return to the Grand Prix as a testing session to gather more data," says the team.

    The Williams of Carlos Sainz is in 13th place.

    George Russell knows he has been done over a little bit with that VSC, it is really frustrating. He's done everything right in this grand prix and it was like lady luck herself was not in his favour in this grand prix so far.

  8. Lap 47/66

    Do Mercedes have an answer to the Lewis Hamilton dilemma? Not at the moment, the Ferrari is controlling the race from the front. George Russell's fortunes have turned this weekend, but it might not be the win he was hoping for after grabbing pole yesterday.

  9. Lap 46/66

    The fastest lap stopwatch is parked by the name of Lewis Hamilton after that virtual safety car, but the seven-time world champion has been noted by race control for a yellow flag infringement.

    Hamilton is rapid, though, and now his advantage over George Russell is 5.7 seconds.

    Lewis absolutely putting the hammer down on this out lap. Really, really played perfectly into Ferraris hands. You couldn't time it better. It was a little bit of luck but sometimes you have to get a little bit of luck in racing, it is motorsport after all.

    Was Lewis speeding under the VSC? The gap grew to George from 16 seconds to 21 seconds. I wonder if that was an unsafe release as well

  12. Lap 45/66

    The two Alpines of Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto are running in the top 10 but like Lewis Hamilton, Argentine Colapinto has also been noted for a yellow flag infringement.

    Hamilton is pulling away from George Russell, building a decent gap and leading by four seconds.

  13. Team radio - Mercedes to Russell

    Engineer: "24 laps remaining. That's the race up ahead of you"

  14. Lap 44/66

    It could be happening - Lewis Hamilton taking his first main victory for Ferrari since he joined in 2025. But hang on, the seven-time world champion has been noted for a yellow flag infringement.

    Hamilton leads from George Russell by 3.9 seconds, with title leader Kimi Antonelli in third and Lando Norris fourth.

  17. Hamilton leads from Russell

    Lap 43/66

    The virtual safety car has ended and Lewis Hamilton is leading the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix from the Mercedes of polesitter George Russell and Kimi Antonelli.

    The seven-time world champion is now on fresh hard tyres and is three seconds ahead of Russell.

  18. Team radio - Mercedes to Russell

    Engineer: "We are forecast to be battling with Lewis at the end of the race on that three stop"

  19. Hamilton pits - and now leads

    Lap 42/66

    Hamilton leads in lap 42 of the Barcelona GPgetty

    Ferrari make the call and Lewis Hamilton comes into the pits to change his tyres - and he's now leading this race! This has played out perfectly for the Italian team and Hamilton tells his pit wall: "Good job, guys".

    Pitting under VSC or safety car conditions can save you around about 11 seconds. Virtual Safety Car is out.
