Well, a decent race, that. Good to see the Ferraris up there - and the Manors both getting round! Join me again next time. Thanks for your company today.

'God Save the Queen' blares out, and there'll be no champagne on the podium this time, at least.
-
Ricciardo's car disappeared in a puff of smoke as he crossed the line. Not good.
-
Toto Wolff confirms the problem with Hamilton's car - if the race had been a lap longer, it would have been Raikkonen's victory.

And that's a win for Lewis Hamilton!
-
Hamilton has four seconds over Raikkonen and Rosberg isn't making any headway into the Ferrari now.
-
"Caution on the brakes - one lap remaining," coems the advice.
57/57
Hamilton leads the pack into the final lap, then, and seems to be reporting a brake problem over his radio. Can he hold out?
-
The Ferrari team are whooping, and the Merc strategy team literally have their heads in their hands.
-
He's going to be chasing that, but Raikkonen is going to do his darnedest to hold on for the next lap and a bit!
56/57
Rosberg runs too wide at Turn 1 and Raikkonen leaps on that mistake!
-
Massa is overtaken by Kvyat - the Williams hasn't had a great day so he'll probably be happy with tenth, comparatively.
55/57
Raikkonen has got that down to a second now! Is he going to snatch second?
54/57
Not sure that Ricciardo is going to manage to claw back 12 seconds as he chases the back of Vettel.
53/57
Raikkonen is putting Rosberg under some real pressure now - less than a second and a half behind him.
52/57
Raikkonen's team did tell him the plan was for third, but he's still cutting into Rosberg's advantage. Meanwhile, his Ferrari team-mate has lured Bottas into locking up a touch, and Daniel Ricciardo's team suggest he could take advantage.
51/57
Vettel is working so hard but he cannot move the immovable.
50/57
No blue flags being waved, incidentally, that's probably what's annoyed Raikkonen. He's just gone past Alonso.
-
Bottas is still holding off Vettel well in fourth place.
49/57
Sounds like Raikkonen is having a whinge about the traffic as well.
