Vettel now seventh. Crazy bold move and he has paid for it.

[SteveB]

Ten second penalty for Verstappen for the crash.

[SteveB]

Will raikkonen catch bottas for 2nd place, 5 laps to go.

Kimi Räikkönen has made a good recovery having had his strategy compromised to help his team-mate.

[SteveB]

Sebastian Vettel's tyres are in bad shape. Is overtaken by Fernando Alonso.

[SteveB]

Red Bull strategy has been faultless. May not have the speed but they have out-thought the others.
