Russell pits and comes out just behind Piastri!

And we have a crash! Ollie Bearman is in the wall!

This should favour Antonelli and Hamilton down in front…

“I think I’m going to lose a lot of race time extending.”

A nervous-sounding Russell…

Race leader in then with a 2.4-second stop and he comes out behind Max Verstappen in sixth.

Well clear of Charles Leclerc.

George Russell takes the lead! When will the Mercedes boys dive in?

Leclerc pits to cover Norris and a quick 2.1-sec stop sees the Monegasque emerge still in front of the Brit.

Happy days for the Scuderia…

The reigning world champion is the first frontrunner to dive in – 2.5 sec stop – and Norris comes out in ninth.

Onto hards. Let’s see how that works out…

Carbon copy of earlier between Russell and Leclerc!

Antonelli swoops into third down the inside at 130R but then locks up – and Leclerc simply takes back P3 on the home straight.

Meanwhile, there’s pit action at McLaren…

“If we hold track position, I think we can hang on to this.”

Promising message for McLaren fans… his lead is now 1.3 secs.

For now, it seems Piastri has thwarted the challenge of Russell, with a gap of 1.1 seconds.

Antonelli, however, really is closing in on Leclerc for third – but no move just yet!

Similar to his teammate, Antonelli makes the move down the inside at the final chicane, with Norris powerless to stop it!

The pole-sitter up to fourth. Leclerc next in line…
