"Front brakes are really hot."
"It's insane man, they have so much more grip."
Mercedes are going to have even more grip now they're got some fresh tyres on Lewis Hamilton's car.
It's a 2.3 second stop for Hamilton. Mediums off, mediums on.
Ben Edwards
F1 commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
Hamilton has gone for a second pit stop! Fascinating.
Hamilton dives into the pits. He was only half a second away from the lead. Toto Wolff told us it was going to be a one-stopper before the race, but they've thrown in a curve ball two-stopper.
How do Red Bull react to that?

Turn: Sometimes I forget Max is only 23. What an incredible driver. A world championship isn’t far away.
"Message from race control: No weaving on the straight."
Daniel Ricciardo is on course for fifth but gets a warning from his team to not weave across the track as he's trying to hold off Red Bull's Sergio Perez.
Who wins this race? Thumbs up for Max Verstappen, thumbs down for Lewis Hamilton.

RickRock: Is there nothing Hamilton can't do? The guy is absolutely caning it round the track.

Some solid work from Max Verstappen in the lead as he finds some time to keep Lewis Hamilton a second away. But he's going to have to hold off the challenge for another 27 laps. A long, long, long way to go.

Julian Esposito: Nikita Mazepin had a poor reputation prior to joining F1. He’s now putting other drivers in danger and/or ruining each race for his actions. Surely larger actions are needed than time penalties.
Hamilton now within half a second of leader Max Verstappen. Valtteri Bottas in third could benefit if there's a collision between the front two.

Norrin Radd: People going a bit early with the Mercedes screwed up the race for Lewis.
Nick Jenkin: Hamilton closing on Verstappen. What’s going to happen here? Going to be loads of these this season. Here we go.
Brit watch. Hamilton second, one second behind Verstappen. Norris 10th but close to Raikkonen in ninth with Stroll not far behind in 11th. Russell 15th, but 10 seconds away from Norris, although ahead of team-mate Nicholas Latifi.
We've got another thriller in 2021. Last week's turned out to be a routine ending but that's three out of four brilliant, brilliant races this year. Still a long way to go in this one too and we should have some wheel-to-wheel action very, very soon.
"You're two tenths quicker than Verstappen. At this pace, you're going to catch him on the last lap."
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra
Hamilton is flying. He could be within DRS range already.
