Verstappen has inherited the race lead from Norris as the top pace-setters continue to serve their final pit-stops.
The current order is:
- Verstappen (1 stop)
- Norris (2)
- Leclerc (2)
- Piastri (2)
- Hamilton (1)
Can Verstappen come out in front of Piastri after he pits again?
As for George Russell (10th), he’ll be penalised for overtaking outside the track limits, but he doesn’t care. He wants to gap Alex Albon as fast as possible so he can serve his five or 10-second penalty and not lose a spot.
It’s brash, but it’s smart. How will the stewards react?
They’re having the last laugh as I type this – hitting him with a drive-through penalty.
