Championship leader Kimi Antonelli jumps to the head of the field, but as the Italian, along with George Russell in second and world champion Lando Norris in third have yet to pit, Max Verstappen in fourth is just waiting to take control of this 71-lap grand prix.

Ferrari pull the trigger and Lewis Hamilton is told to come in for a stop. He dumps his sift tyres, takes on some mediums, but comes out behind team-mate Charles Leclerc, who has now served his five-second time penalty.

[Lewis Hamilton] is pushing the point just to make it clear why he is where he is, but I think it is pointless asking the team or getting the message across to the team. The stewards are not going to change their decisions but he can still to better than this. He's not completely out of it.

Oscar Piastri makes his stop and comes out in P12, where he qualified yesterday, on the medium tyres.

Two more teams are getting ready for stops - Ferrari and Red Bull.

Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen are coming in!

McLaren are getting ready to collect one of their drivers for a pit stop. Which one are they planning to bring in? It's Australian Oscar Piastri, who arrives at the pit entry, ready to take on some new tyres.

The likes of Franco Colapinto and Arvid Lindblad are still in the points in this race, as their two teams, Alpine and Racing Bulls, battle for fifth place in the teams' standings.

We haven't heard any team radio from Charles Leclerc yet as he keeps the lead of this race by 5.2 seconds from Max Verstappen. The PR department will be working overtime now at Ferrari, though, after Lewis Hamilton's latest message.

Hamilton: "The stewards are basically handing Charles this win. We agreed in the drivers meeting."

The radio is red-hot at Ferrari now. Lewis Hamilton is planed in third place after starting on pole position, and the seven-time world champion flags to his engineer what was discussed in the drivers' briefing, adding the stewards are "handing" his team-mate Charles Leclerc this win.

The difficulty that everyone has now got is we are settling into this phase of the race where people are managing tyres, they don't want to pit too early. They want to wait for either somebody to blink before them to open up a gap they can slot into or to run as deep as they can to make the one stop strategy that they think is best work. But, it means that because you are managing tyres, you're managing temperatures of things like brakes and power unit cooling, you don't have the ability to sit very close behind the car for very long before things overheat.

Charles Leclerc's lead is growing, which is bad news for polesitter Lewis Hamilton? How should Ferrari handle this situation? Let us know your views using the 'get involved' button on the live page.

Over at McLaren, Lando Norris is having a strategy chat with his engineer.

Lewis Hamilton has dropped back slightly on Charles Leclerc and now the gap is seven seconds. The Ferrari man is stuck behind the Red Bull of Max Verstappen, making the path to another victory this season a bit difficult.

Oliver Bearman spies a chance to pass Gabriel Bortoleto down at Turn One. The Haas driver navigates that long run down and overtakes the Audi for P11.

Charles Leclerc has a five-second penalty to serve and now he's 4.8 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen thanks to that clean air.

The other thing Ferrari are setting up is, if they do this pit stop and Charles Leclerc comes in. They are going to come out almost on top of Lewis Hamilton, at the moment he is six seconds behind, let's say they can make it a plus or minus. So within a second bringing the two guys who have been fighting like mad men over their position out onto the track together.

There a few driver starting to make pit stops now, including Alex Albon, who is called in by Williams to fit some soft tyres.

Kimi Antonelli is fourth at the moment and will become world champion - the youngest-ever in Formula 1 - if it stays like this.

1. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) - five-second penalty

2. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

3. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)

4. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)

5. George Russell (Mercedes) - 10-second penalty
