Drama at the start already.

Sebastian Vettel has sustained front wing damage after hitting Valtteri Bottas, who now has a puncture.

Pierre Gasly hits Esteban Ocon. Both have retired.

[SteveB]

Sebastian Vettel is at the back now after the collision. That won't help his championship hopes.

[SteveB]

Sebastian Vettel has moved up to twelfth, but has been given a five-second time penalty for his collision with Valtteri Bottas

[SteveB]

Sebastian Vettel is now fifth but has a time penalty. He has already pitted and changed tyres after the collision and will be hoping to not need to pit again, but that will change if it rains which it looks like it will.

[SteveB]

Kimi Raikkonen passes Daniel Ricciardo to go up to third. Kimi having a good race.

Sebastian Vettel is fifth after a pit stop and serving his time penalty.

[SteveB]

Lewis Hamilton wins and regains the championship lead.
