23/23
VERSTAPPEN WINS
Eight points for the Dutchman, seven for Leclerc six for Sainz.
Russell, Perez, Ocon, Magnussen and Hamilton secures eighth.
An easy win for Verstappen and the Ferrari team will be content to get their drivers back in the next two spaces. A decent showing from Perez to get up from 13th too.
23/23
VETTEL CALLED IN
He was already 19th, the last running car, and he's told to box after the earlier crash.
21/23
HAMILTON IS THROUGH
The Mercedes man is into eighth and the points. Bottas will want to pass the German now.
20/23
HAMILTON CAN'T PASS
"The car ahead has gone off at least four times" Hamilton complains of Schumacher. He can't pass him on the inside or outside.
19/23
FIVE LAPS TO GO
Hamilton is closing in on Schumacher, a few tenths of a second behind. There are three DRS sections in this circuit.
17/23
RUSSELL HOLDING ON
Verstappen is a few seconds ahead at the top, while with Russell in fourth he will anticipate a challenge from Perez in the next few laps. Hamilton is down in ninth.
15/23
WATCH VETTEL SPIN OUT
12/23
PEREZ INTO FIFTH
The Mexican sweeps past Ocon at the restart. Russell is the next in line for a challenge.
12/23
PEREZ PROGRESS
11/23
VETTEL OUT
Vettel spins out and can reverse out of the gravel. He clipped Albon and spun out, and perhaps Albon will get a slap on the wrist - let's see.
10/25
PEREZ INTO SIXTH
He's moving away from the pack after sweeping past Schumacher. He could challenge for a podium spot with this pace. Magnussen is his latest victim.
9/25
ALBON PENALTY
A five-second penalty for Albon for forcing Norris off the track.
7/23
LECLERC AND SAINZ BATTLE
The two Ferraris could benefit from working together, but instead they're battling each other. This could end quite badly for the Italians.
4/23
RUSSELL INTO FOURTH
And Hamilton is now 10th, just behind his former teammate Bottas. Norris is forced off the track.
2/23
PEREZ UP TO EIGHTH
Hamilton is down to 11th, with the Red Bull man leaping up from 13th. Gasly and Hamilton touched early on in the race.
1/23
GO GO GO
Verstappen gets away from Leclerc, Sainz takes second briefly and the two Ferraris chase the leader hard.
15:35
ALONSO OUT
His car is taken into the garage before we kick off.
15:34
START ABORTED
We will probably lose a lap off the Sprint now, and Zhou is likely to get into the pits behind Alonso. We're on another formation lap.
15:33
ZHOU
'Engine switched off, guys,' he says.
15:31
ALONSO FAILS TO LAUNCH
The tyre blankets are still on as the cars go off for the formation lap. He'll probably be starting from the pit lane.
