46/66
Beautiful, text-book stops from Ricciardo's team - 2.4 seconds there.
-
There, he's pulling in now - and he gets a great stop time of 3.0 seconds.
45/66
Rosberg is losing time to Hamilton, on his fresh tyres, and he'll be coming in soon.
44/66
So Rosberg's leading the pack now after that Hamilton pit stop, with an 18.6-second lead.
-
It's OK. Hamilton pulls in to the pit lane, switching to the hard compound tyres in a stop of 4.3 seconds. That's not a good time.
43/66
The Mercedes mechanics seem to be waiting for someone, and neither Hamilton nor Rosberg look like they're coming in. Is Hamilton having radio problems? He said earlier he hadn't heard from his team in previous laps.
42/66
Race control have confirmed they're not going to take any further action about that blue flag incident.
41/66
Ricciardo's margin over Bottas at the moment is about 13 seconds; he must be feeling fairly comfortable.
40/66
Both Mercedes teams are a touch frustrated: Hamilton isn't extending his lead over Rosberg by as much as his would like, and Rosberg isn't closing in on him as much as his would like. The gap's around 3.8 seconds at the moment.
39/66
Lewis Hamilton has a friendly dig at his team for being too quiet on the radio in the past few laps.
-
Vettel's easing past Massa on turn 5. We hear the stewards are looking at whether or not Ericssen has been ignoring blue flags.
38/66
Alonso moves past Magnussen on the first turn, and cleverly holds position, up into seventh.
37/66
We're more than halfway through and I still can't pick a winner. Who do you reckon will triumph?
36/66
2.6-second pit stop for Alonso, and back out into 11th, still ahead of Felipe Massa.
35/66
Down in 21st, Kobayashi seems to lose his brakes and skews off the track. He recovers.
34/66
Pit stop for Vettel, in 2.3 seconds. He'll be back out in 14th, still ahead of Pastor Maldonado.
33/66
And then Nico Rosberg records a fastest lap again! His team are very happy with the way he's pushing Lewis Hamilton.
32/66
Ricciardo's best lap so far is clocked at 1:31.747.
-
Perez is asked what kind of tyres he's felt better on, and he's unsure, telling his team they both feel OK. That's not the helpful guidance for the next pit stop they were hoping for.
31/66
Hamilton's stretching that lead over Rosberg to around four and a half seconds, and that'll be very reassuring to him.
30/66
Pastor Maldonado is in 21st after his stop-go penalty, if you're keeping up with that.
