Good stuff from Bottas. Not the most dazzling of races, partly because Ferrari's odd choices meant the pressure was off Mercedes, really, but nice for the Finn to win here after losing out last season.

And that's the chequered flag - a win for Bottas, a 1-2 for Mercedes - the first team ever to wrap up four consecutive 1-2s at the start of a season.
50/51
Bottas starts his final lap - looks like he's going to wrap this up having started in pole.
-
Hamilton runs wide, loses time - and that chance might have gone now.
48/51
Whatever else might be said about Lewis Hamilton, the boy is a racer. He's just clocked the fastest lap of the race and is using DRS to close in on his team-mate.
47/51
Decent race for Verstappen, set to finish fourth. One-time leader Leclerc is looking miserable down in P5 - his lap times have not been great at all today.
-
-
42/51
This has been very poor strategy from Ferrari really - we're all set for another consecutive 1-2 for Mercedes. Bottas still leads ahead of Hamilton, with Vettel in third.
-
-
"Keep focused," Verstappen is told over the radio, reassured that he is doing a "mega job". The Dutchman isn't interested in the praise - he just wants to know why the virtual safety car is still out.

Virtual safety car while Gasly is shepherded away.

Oh, and Gasly has some smoke coming from the back of his car. He's been in P6 but is juddering to a halt now.
39/51
Leclerc is not going to make any more inroads on the podium places now unless anything bad happens - looks like P5 is wrapped up for him.
38/51
He's kept himself out of trouble so far, and Lance Stroll of Racing Point is sitting pretty in the top ten.
-
Kvyat's retiring from the race after that Ricciardo-reversing-into-him thing.
-
He's past him, and into P5.
-
Leclerc's first task on returning to the track is to get past Pierre Gasly.
