T51 / 58

6″6 gap now between the two drivers! Pérez's pace is starting to run out of steam...

T49 / 58

7″5 gap between Leclerc and Pérez now. The Monegasque increased his pace and lost 7-8 tenths per lap... that could hold for the Scuderia driver.

 

T48 / 58

Max Verstappen tells his team to advise Pérez to attack, because the degradation on the hard roads is quite good on the Red Bull! Incredible, who would have believed it...

Sebastian Vettel gets back into the points zone with an overtake on Zhou. Stroll tries to follow him but gets off the track. The Canadian got the better of Zhou a few hectometers further on.

T43 / 58

Esteban Ocon stopped a second time to put on hard tires and came out 2th behind Ricciardo. He is imitated by Norris a lap later, who returns to the track in front of his teammate and Ocon.

T42 / 58

5 second penalty for Mick Schumacher, logical decision.

T40 / 58

Russell and Sainz pass through the pits. The Briton respects his penalty and comes out 8th, while Sainz immediately overtakes Norris and returns to 5th place.

T39 / 58

Clash between Latifi and Schumacher! The two drivers, fighting at the back of the peloton, made contact in the hairpin before the long straight! Mick Schumacher hit the left rear wheel of the Williams in a too daring attempt to overtake... They were able to restart but the Canadian had a puncture!

Charles Leclerc could complete the Grand Prix without returning to the pits. The Monegasque is still 17 seconds ahead of Sergio Pérez, who sets a new lap record.

T37 / 58

Lap record for Sergio Pérez, in 1'29″212! He is a second faster than the two leaders…
