    Final lap now.

    Kimi Antonelli is on track to win his maiden sprint race and more importantly collect points to extend his lead in the drivers' championship.

    Two laps to go.

    Kimi Antonelli has built the gap to 2.2 seconds now.

    Lewis Hamilton is going to need a boost now.

    Isack Hadjar is quick on the radio to say Liam Lawson has been speeding under braking.

  8. Lap 15/17

    Just a handful of laps left now, what a sprint it has been!

    Nico Hulkenberg is under investigation for running off the track.

    Lando Norris is about a second ahead of George Russell now.

    Lewis Hamilton is holding a gap of about 1.3 seconds to leader Kimi Antonelli, so Kimi is not exactly disappearing into the distance.

  10. Lap 14/17

    The gap between Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton is now 1.5 seconds. Can Hamilton find power in the Ferrari to lead again?

  11. Damon Hill

    The racing is an incredibly tactical and complicated business now, using these heavily battery-orientated power units.

  12. Lap 13/17

    Lando Norris was speaking to Sky Sports earlier, saying the other cars are faster.

    But here he is comfortably in third at his home race. There's battles in front of him and behind him.

    The top three are Kimi Antonelli, Lewis Hamilton and Norris.

    Liam Lawson's Racing Bulls is in the spot for the last points in the sprint race.

  13. Damon Hill

    I'm looking at the gap between Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton and Kimi has stretched it out to 1.4 seconds, so he's broken that one-second advantage you get by being behind.

    It was also be interesting to see if Charles Leclerc can now catch George Russell for fourth place.

  14. Lap 11/17

    And just past the Lando stand is where Charles Leclerc overtakes Max Verstappen.

    Antonelli keeps the spot at the front of the race for now, he is building the gap between himself and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, it's just over a second now.

    Honestly, what a cracking start to a sprint race, this has been a joy to watch. If these regulations get ironed out throughout this season, I'm sure we are going to see plenty of action and overtakes!

  16. 'Can Hamilton hang on to Antonelli?'

    Damon Hill

    Lewis Hamilton had to use too much of his battery to defend, and the cars do slow dramatically once they lose that battery power. The question now is, can he hang on to Kimi Antonelli?

  17. Lap 10/17

    The battle between George Russell and Max Verstappen continues and Russell manages to overtake and claim fourth, but Charles Leclerc has caught up to the pair.

  19. 'Sprint has been frantic'

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at Silverstone

    So far, the sprint has been frantic. We're having to try and understand where the energy deployment comes from, and the way that they discharge their battery is strategic. It's very difficult from the outside to tell when they're doing it, so the racing has been a little bit 'yo-yoing'.

  20. Antonelli leads

    Lap 9/17

    He's done it, Kimi Antonelli manages to find some power in his Mercedes and overtakes Lewis Hamilton to lead the race.

    Can Hamilton take it back? He's a second behind the Mercedes man.

    Meanwhile, George Russell and Max Verstappen are battling for the fourth spot. Verstappen keeps the spot for now.
