Final lap! (Lap 71/71)

Verstappen forced to sit just behind Leclerc for the final lap!

And Sainz’s car is behind the barrier!

Ah dear… robbed of a great finale!

VSC (Lap 70/71)

Carlos Sainz’s Williams car is stranded in the stadium section!

It means Verstappen will probably be thwarted, as will Piastri.

Verstappen within DRS of Leclerc (Lap 69/71)

Three laps left – and Verstappen is within DRS of Leclerc.

Piastri also has DRS on Bearman – in which he would keep the title lead if he can make the overtake.

Verstappen closing in on second-placed Leclerc (Lap 65/71)

The Red Bull driver is really closing in on Charles Leclerc – he now trails by just three seconds.

Verstappen’s engineer: “This is an insane stint Max, just finish it off.”

It would be a hell of a recovery drive from the Dutchman if he could nick second.

Top-10: Norris, Leclerc, Verstappen, Bearman, Piastri, Antonelli, Russell, Hamilton, Ocon, Bortoleto

Piastri passes Russell (Lap 62/71)

Big move from the Australian!

Piastri makes a dive down the inside at turn 1 – and makes it stick!

Up to fifth – two more points in the championship.

Norris extends lead to 27 seconds (Lap 57/71)

Cruise control for Lando Norris – but Max Verstappen is slowly closing in on Charles Leclerc in second! The gap is now seven seconds.

Ollie Bearman is heading further behind Verstappen – must say, not entirely sure Haas needed to pit him! There was a potential podium for him…

4-10: Bearman, Russell, Piastri, Antonelli, Hamilton, Ocon, Hadjar
