T56

Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris are catching up with Hamilton, who is only one second ahead of his pursuers! Will the Englishman keep his 5th place?

With more than 8 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen, Valtteri Bottas flies towards a tenth career victory. 

T52

Sergio Perez overtakes Charles Leclerc in difficulty with his new tires. The Mexican climbs onto the podium. 

T51

Lewis Hamilton returns to the pits, and will have to fight in the final laps to get back on the podium. He comes out 5th behind Leclerc and Perez. 

T48

After losing the lead of the race, Charles Leclerc stops in the pits. Only Ocon and Hamilton have yet to make any saves.

There are 15 laps left to cover, Charles Leclerc is leader with 2 seconds ahead of Bottas. Verstappen is third, ahead of Hamilton and Perez. 

T41

Charles Leclerc, leader of the Grand Prix and who made no stops, will try to go to the end without changing his tires! 

T40

T38

The leader, Bottas, returns to the pits. Vettel took the gamble of putting on medium tyres. Non-paying choice, since the German must return to the pits to replace intermediates.

T37

Max Verstappen returns to the pits. He also wore new intermediate shoes. He comes out in 3rd position. 

T35

Hamilton's risk-taking doesn't pay off! Perez's great resistance allowed him to maintain 4th place. 

T31

Bottas announces on his radio the arrival of rain in turns 4 and 6. 

T29

Placed in 5th position on the starting grid but victim of a spin, Fernando Alonso is still stuck in 16th place. The Spaniard cannot overtake George Russell's Williams. 

T27

T26

On lap 26, Bottas is still in the lead, ahead of Verstappen and Leclerc. Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton complete the top 5. For the moment, it is the Monegasque driver who holds the lap record. 

T22

Daniel Ricciardo is the first to enter the pit lane. The Australian put on new intermediate tires.
