Can be nervy race with the gravel traps so close.
Max Verstappen holds off Lando Norris and is starting to open a gap but the Red Bull has not been as dominant lately.

Problem for Alex Albon. Pits but front right not on securely. Does good job in bring the car back but needs another stop. Out in last.
Max Verstappen now five seconds ahead. Ferrari are fast so perhaps Max can benefit from a Ferrari/Mclaren battle

Lando Norris pits.
Alex Albon gets 10-second stop-go penalty for that unsafe release with the insecure wheel.
Max Verstappen pits.
He also gets final warning for track limits. Another outside limits and five-second penalty.
Max Verstappen warned by Red Bull about track limits. Penalty would put Lando Norris ahead.
Even without penalties, Lando Norris will easily catch Max Verstappen before the race ends. Max really struggling with tyres.
Lando Norris suffering from the turbulent air as he closes.
Max Verstappen still under pressure. Cannot exceed track limits and his tyres degrading. Three laps to go.
