Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the British Grand Prix from Silverstone.

Hamilton has nicked another few places courtesy of a couple of tyre changes by others and is ninth - and he's huge in the wingmirrors of compatriot Paul Di Resta in a battle for eighth place.

Adrian Sutil is now almost 11 seconds behind Rosberg.

Pit crews pour out to get ready for drivers all along the lane - seems like those who are on the medium tyre are all switching to the hard compound with their next change.

Gutierrez comes in for a new nose cone, while at the front of the race Vettel's lead is now over three seconds.

Cameras didn't quite catch what happened to Gutierrez, but it sure was messy.

Yet more yellow flags - looks like Gutierrez ploughed into a sign at the side of the track for some reason and there's rubbish all over the place once more.

Fernando Alonso has now closed right up on Sutil after slipping back a little, and he is trying to get oast - but Sutil is doing a fine job of shutting the door.

Here's a pic of Lewis Hamilton's tyre before it went KABOOM!

Vettel pulling away by a few tenths a lap from Rosberg - the Mercedes is nowhere near matching the Red Bull race pace.

The race is settling down now - seems quiet now that people's tyres aren't exploding left, right and centre.

Vettel and Rosberg are now pulling out a huge lead over the field, with Vettel storming away at the front from his team-mate.

Vettel is two seconds clear of Rosberg already, with Sutil three seconds further back. Down the field, Lewis Hamilton is now up to 13th.

DRS has now been reactivated after being suspended following the rolling restart.

Telling an F1 driver not to clip the apexes of the corners is clearly not hitting home - they're ploughing over the kerbs like a bunch of Yummy Mummies doing the school run in Range Rovers!

Alonso looking to make a move on Sutil now - and needless to say, as all these drivers try to overtake each other, they're driving all over the kerbs exactly the same as they were before! They just won't be told!

Sergio Perez overtakes Mark Webber at the end of the start-finish straight, but Webber takes him back a few corners later.

The safety car pulls into the pits, and the race is back under way with the field packed close together!

The safety car is about to come back in, and it'll be game on once more. Will be fascinating to see if any more tyres go between now and the end of the race...

They've got two road-sweeping vans going up and down the areas where the tyre debris is worst - bizarre to see the kind of vehicle that normally cleans gutters in a city centre being overtaken by an F1 car!

The teams are reportedly looking at the tyre pressures possibly being too low - low pressures help add grip, but make the tyres less stable as well.

Vettel now on the radio, urged to stay away from the kerbs at all costs. He's also being told off about his fuel consumption.
