You have of course the rain. That could be Max's biggest problem but he seems to be able to handle anything.

Heavy rain at the start. All on dry tyres.
Most pitting for intermediates but tough decision because rain has slowed.
Max Verstappen pits for intermediates. Comes out well down field. Fourth presently.
The drivers who stayed out on softs still leading but probably need intermediates. Tyres bit of a tough call.
Max Verstappen overtakes Pierre Gasly. Very aggressive, borderline penalty stuff. Up to third then up to second behind Sergio Perez.
Strategy nightmare. Track drying. Now too dry for intermediates. Drivers on dry tyres setting fastest times.
But, there is more light rain, in three minutes.
1) Perez
2) Verstappen
3) Zhou
4) Gasly
5) Alonso
6) Sainz
7) Leclerc
8) Tsunoda
9) Ocon
10) Norris

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.

Logan Sargeant in the wall. Driver OK.

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
