Russell looked to have Norris but the McLaren defends well! He's now lost🔯 the DRS margin to Sainz, though!

"Front tyres are finished" - Sainz

This is incredible. Sainz has seemingly given Norris DRS oꦍn purpওose, who has the Mercedes now on his tail!

Norris is under a second from Sainz!

Sainz asks for updates on the gap to Norris everyꦚ lap from now on, as Martin Brundle questions whether the Ferrari driver is aware of the oncoming Mercedes threat.

The top four are covered by four seconds now!

The Kiwi is now in P9, once again s🎀t🌜aking a claim for a full-time F1 seat.

Russellꦅ is now 5 seconds behind Leclerc, taking 8 seconds off t𝐆he Ferrari in the past 4 laps.

His teammate is fol🔯lowing suit. The front-runners on 30-lap-old tyres ♛will be hoping all that management will pay off!

The order is changing all the ไtime, but as it stands, the top 10 is: SAI, NOR, LEC𒁏, RUS, HAM, GAS, PIA, LAW, HUL, VER.

Verstappen is constantly making up places on f🔯resh tyres, but is probaꦍbly still too far back to threaten the leaders.

Russell and ♐Hamilton however are still insanely fast,𓂃 and this could really be a Mercedes 1-2...

Alon🉐so momentarily went straight on at the corner, but has turned it around and got back racing.

It's lap 47 🤪of 62, and Russell𒁃 and Hamilton are two seconds a lap quicker than the leaders!

Some catching up to do for Russell and Hamilton, who are around 14 seconds off the top 🌞3 of Sainz, Norris and Leclerc.

It seems Leclerc wanted to come in but has been to🌞ld to stay out.

A nightmare for Alonso who came in during the VSC for fresh tyres, but a 25 secon🐲d stop has put him down♕ in P15.

They're double stacking for fresh mediums and they've nailed it! They come out in P4 and P5 in an abundance 🌠o🐈f clear air!
