Hamilton back in the points as he passes Perez.
Nico Rosberg is over47secs ahead of Daniel Kvyat in second.
Very good chance at the end of the race Nico Rosberg will be more than a full race win of points (25) ahead of his nearest rival.
And that rival may not even be Lewis Hamilton
A mad start with a lot of contact and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen hitting each other but still no retirements.
Lap 42:
1. Rosberg
2. Vettel
3. Kvyat
4. Massa,
5. Ricciardo
6. Hamilton,
7. Bottas,
8. Raikkonen,
9. Perez
10. Sainz
Hard to believe Daniel Ricciardo had a puncture on the third lap and was last at one stage. What could he have done if that hadn't happened?
Lap 46, Ten Laps to go.
1. Rosberg leads
2. Vettel
3. Kvyat
4. Ricciardo,
5. Massa
6. Raikkonen,
7. Hamilton
In the final stages now.
If it ends like this, Nico Rosberg will get 25 points and Lewis Hamilton will get 6 points.
Battle now is for second place.
Daniil Kvyat is four seconds behind second-place Sebastian Vettel. But Vettel is on faster super-soft tyres.
Good drive from Lewis Hamilton but he is stuck in seventh because of his damaged car. Damaged front wing, missing a lot of front downforce.
