Lap 33:
Rosberg leads
Kvyat
Vettel
Ricciardo
Raikkonen,
Verstappen,
Massa,
Bottas
Perez;
Hamilton now 11th

[SteveB]

Hamilton back in the points as he passes Perez.
Nico Rosberg is over47secs ahead of Daniel Kvyat in second.

[SteveB]

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

[SteveB]

A mad start with a lot of contact and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen hitting each other but still no retirements.

[SteveB]

Lap 42:
1. Rosberg
2. Vettel
3. Kvyat
4. Massa,
5. Ricciardo
6. Hamilton,
7. Bottas,
8. Raikkonen,
9. Perez
10. Sainz

[SteveB]

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?

[SteveB]

Lap 46, Ten Laps to go.
1. Rosberg leads
2. Vettel
3. Kvyat
4. Ricciardo,
5. Massa
6. Raikkonen,
7. Hamilton

[SteveB]

In the final stages now.
If it ends like this, Nico Rosberg will get 25 points and Lewis Hamilton will get 6 points.

[SteveB]

Battle now is for second place.
Daniil Kvyat is four seconds behind second-place Sebastian Vettel. But Vettel is on faster super-soft tyres.

[SteveB]

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.
