There we go, no further action for George Russell, the race for the win is still on.
Team radio - Mercedes to Russellpublished at 15:37 BST
Engineer: "We see margin on sliding powers to push the tyres if you feel the tyres can take it."

No further action for George Russell on that yellow flag infringement.
Some good news for the Mercedes race leader. But there's still plenty of time in this race for Kimi Antonelli to overtake him for the win.
Team radio - Russell to Mercedespublished at 15:36 BST
Russell: "Are the lap times good enough at the moment?"
Engineer: 'Currently, Kimi forecast to catch right at the end of the race."

Russell could not just lose the lead, I think he could end off the podium here.
Postpublished at Lap 40/53
So it could be a 10-second penalty for George Russell, then.
If the race ended right here he'd finish in third. Just. That is, of course, unless Oscar Piastri can gain some ground.

How much more pain can the tifosi take? Granted, Lewis Hamilton's need to take to the run-off area certainly wasn't on the same level as Charles Leclerc's early shunt, but that drop to fourth has put the Ferrari fans' hopes of podium in jeopardy.
And now the grandstands really are quiet, as fellow multiple world champion Max Verstappen also swipes his spot.
Team radio - McLaren to Piastripublished at 15:34 BST
Engineer: "Russell is under investigation, he's doing 25.2, if we can stay within 10 seconds that could probably be an opportunity."

Postpublished at Lap 39/53
George Russell's maintained an eight-second gap between himself and Kimi Antonelli.
He needs to maintain that.

When you expect things to go George Russell's way, the gods of luck desert him. It would have been an easy win. But he could end up P3 or even out of podium depending on whether he gets a penalty.

This is a good day for Oscar Piastri, especially coming off the back of his team-mate winning the last two in a row. This is just a nice solid day if he could bag a podium, I think he would be super happy with that.
Postpublished at Lap 38/53
George Russell's lead is just eight seconds right now.
And he's officially under investigation for a yellow flag infringement.

Postpublished at Lap 37/53
What a dismal weekend this has been for Ferrari, by the way.
On Friday they weren't just in the mix, they looked like they were in the frame for victory.
Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli forces his way back into second by overtaking Oscar Piastri.

Hamilton: "This tyre is terrible mate!"

Antonelli moves into thirdpublished at Lap 36/53

Kimi Antonelli's up into third as Lewis Hamilton has to take the run-off area at turn one.
Of the top five, Max Verstappen and Antonelli's tyres are 25 laps newer than the other three. And it's showing.
Team radio - Mercedes to Russellpublished at 15:28 BST
Engineer: "Kimi 25.0."
Russell: "Just let me drive, I'm driving as quick as I can."

Top fivepublished at Lap 35/53
1. George Russell (Mercedes)
2. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
3. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)
4. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)
5. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

The FIA are just saying that Russell has been noted for a yellow flag infringement. His day could get worse.

Postpublished at Lap 34/53
Max Verstappen overtakes Lando Norris into fifth.
Meanwhile, George Russell's been noted for a yellow flag infringement.
Postpublished at Lap 33/53
At the minute, the gap between race leader George Russell and fourth-placed Kimi Antonelli is a hair over 12 seconds.
We've got 20 laps left.
Can Antonelli do it and make one of the all-time charges to victory at his home track?
