58/70 Did Hamilton risk a penalty there during the virtual safety car? “I think I was ahead,” says Antonelli. “We’re talking it through,” say his team. Hamilton returns the position to Antonelli in third. Can Verstappen, nine seconds clear, hold on?

57/70 Low-cost stops for Norris and Hamilton. Antonelli’s stop arrived at the wrong moment. Norris still leads ahead of Verstappen, who stayed out, with Hamilton and Antonelli next.

Piastri slows down and stops

56/70 Piastri, the earlier race leader, is out. It appears his gears locked up. Virtual safety car deployed.

55/70 Russell heads in for Mercedes as he tries to salvage his difficult weekend. Antonelli asks his position. “We have potential for P2,” he hears on the radio.

54/70 Antonelli pits and rejoins in sixth, ahead of Russell. Norris and Piastri remain in front, with the gap between them at 12.3 seconds.

53/70 Norris has the race under control, while the real contest unfolds for the podium spots. The gap stands at 8.5 seconds to Antonelli, whose team advise a tyre change is needed.

52/70 Hamilton closes on Piastri while Verstappen closes on Hamilton. Plenty of racing remains.

51/70 Sergio Perez has slowed in his Cadillac after leaving the track. He crawls and causes issues. Both Cadillacs appear out of the race.

50/70 Leclerc avoids punishment for a yellow flag breach but reports the car feels off rhythm. Red Bull tell Verstappen he “can have some fun at the end”.

49/70 Antonelli is told to stay close as the team prepares his stop. He holds 4.6 seconds over Piastri despite one stop only. Will he remain out?

48/70 Twenty-one cars remain: Norris, Antonelli, Piastri, Hamilton, Verstappen, Leclerc, Russell, Hadjar occupy the top eight spots.

47/70 Antonelli prepares to pit. The Mercedes tyre plan has not worked out. Ferrari may face similar thoughts with Verstappen chasing Hamilton.

Norris overtakes Antonelli to take the lead

46/70 Norris passes at a wide corner after Antonelli briefly draws level again. The race lead belongs to Lando.

45/70 Norris pursues Antonelli as tyres dictate the pace. Antonelli races hard and enjoys the moment while it lasts. Norris must remain patient.

44/70 A yellow flag appears for Charles Leclerc, who has stayed quiet otherwise. Sainz receives a penalty for the clash with Piastri.

43/70 The contest centres on whose tyres will last longer between Verstappen and Hamilton, the familiar pair.

42/70 Norris records the fastest lap, second to Antonelli and perhaps not for long. Verstappen has pitted and rejoins fifth, behind Hamilton and ahead of Leclerc in a Ferrari sandwich.

41/70 Did Hamilton and Alonso make contact? It seems so. Verstappen leads, Antonelli second, but Norris and Piastri close fast. Piastri blames his team for the Sainz incident. “Don’t talk s*** to me now,” he says on the radio.

Norris pits and comes out ahead of Piastri

40/70 Norris’s stop is swift and he emerges ahead of his teammate. Piastri got delayed among backmarkers. Costly. Sainz will face investigation.

Piastri and Sainz touch wheels

39/70 Piastri finds himself in traffic, with Carlos Sainz in 17th among those he must lap. Contact occurs. Lando Norris may gain the edge. Sainz and Piastri touch wheels. “Idiot, oh my god,” Piastri laments on the radio.

38/70 Leclerc emerges behind Hadjar, whose role seems to involve blocking.

37/70 Leclerc stops and rejoins seventh. Norris has yet to pit as his McLaren team runs the numbers.

36/70 Antonelli continues to chase Leclerc. Piastri’s pace suggests he could be the likely winner based on pit counts.

35/70 Norris’s task is to gain time to counter the threat of Hamilton at the next stop. “Am I going to be in trouble at the end of this race,” asks Hamilton. He fears an early stop.

34/70 Piastri rejoins fifth. Antonelli sits close behind Leclerc in third. When will Norris stop? Hamilton is viewed as the danger.

33/70 Do McLaren stop? They consider it but stay out. “You mean you won’t let me, I am miles faster,” says Norris. Hamilton flies and sets a fastest lap. Piastri comes in.

32/70 Can Hadjar delay Hamilton? No, at the final turn, and Hamilton passes but trails Antonelli by 18 seconds.

31/70 Russell sets a fastest lap, and Hamilton stops on fresh tyres, which may explain why he has not passed Verstappen. Hamilton rejoins seventh but behind Hadjar in another Red Bull.

30/70 Beau Dure gets in touch: “Hamilton keeps saying Verstappen is slow. So why hasn’t he overtaken him?” There is talk the Ferrari team are in conservation mode.

29/70 How are Piastri’s tyres? Lando Norris keeps running wide, giving his teammate room. This should be smooth progress for the McLarens. Will they be permitted to race?

28/70 Russell pits at last, having started from seventh, and 3.9 seconds proves slow. He rejoins ninth.

27/70 Leclerc and Antonelli, fifth and sixth, face an imminent battle, the Mercedes running 0.7 seconds quicker.

26/70 Verstappen drops back from the McLaren pair. Piastri tells his team his tyres “don’t feel great”.

25/70 Piastri and Norris both fly, reminiscent of classic form, and appear very quick.

24/70 Fernando Alonso sits in 10th, the first time he has raced in a points position all season in his Aston Martin.

23/70 Antonelli stops, for 2.1 seconds, very quick, and he sits sixth. The tyres should help him climb. Russell has yet to pit. He needs a safety car to help.

22/70 Antonelli’s gap to Piastri is 9.5 seconds. Can he make a one-stop strategy work? It appears not…

21/70 Russell moves to seventh, and it looks as if Antonelli and he are on a one-stop plan. Leclerc, in sixth, has had a quiet race in the Ferrari.

20/70 Verstappen drives very well, despite his complaints.
