Max Verstappen pits for dry tyres.
So does Sergio Perez.
Max Verstappen now back in the lead.
Sergio Perez second.
Looks like deliberate move by Red Bull to put Max into the lead.
Track still not dry and is tricky.

Mercedes having a poor race. Hard to determine strategy with the on/off rain and Mercedes has just got it wrong.

Racing again. Fernando Alonso challenging Sergio Perez for second.

Max Verstappen leads by five seconds from Sergio Perez, who is four seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso.
Over half way through. Lap 41 of 72

Very heavy rain expected. Drama not over yet.
May even be extreme wet tyres.

Lot of drivers trying for fastest lap before the rain.
Rain falling hard. Max Verstappen comes in late. But still holds the lead.
Chaos now on the track and the pits.
Esteban Ocon on extreme wets. Others on intermediates. Extreme wets seem to be the choice. Max Verstappen pits for extreme wets.
Virtual Safety Car. Then Red Flag. 62 of 72.
After the chaos top three is currently Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly. Talk is twenty minutes until race restarts.

Race control may decide to wind back the positions to the lap before the red flag. In any case, Max Verstappen is likely to start in the lead. He pitted but was able to get out again in the lead before the red flag.
Sergio Perez could be a big loser because he went off and got stuck in the pits just before the red flag.
