    LAP 55

    Hamilton has been eating into Verstappen's advantage. He has reduced that gap to 1.3 seconds.

    In doing so, he has taken some life out of his tyres. This might actually put Verstappen under some pressure.

    The Alpha Tauri man is back in the garage and out of this race.

    FEW OVERTAKES OF NOTE SO FAR, BUT THIS WAS A GOOD ONE

    Pierre Gasly on Fernando Alonso. I bet they enjoyed watching that down at Honda.

    SEBASTIAN VETTEL SPINS ON THE BANKING

    The Aston Martin man loses the rear of his car and slides to a halt. He's now down in 17th place.

    LAP 31 VERSTAPPEN GETS PAST BOTTAS INTO TURN ONE

    The grandstands erupt as the Dutchman regains the lead. The Finn, then surrenders P2 to Hamilton.

    It is Verstappen, Hamilton, Bottas, Leclerc, Sainz – the two Ferraris are yet to pit.

    LAP 30 BOTTAS IS BACKING VERSTAPPEN INTO HAMILTON

    The Finn is helping out tactically here as Verstappen has become the jam in a Mercedes sandwich.

  • Ben Hunt

    LAP 22 VERSTAPPEN PITS

    The Red Bull team respond to Hamilton's pitstops by calling him in a lap later.

    The pitstop was a second-quicker to increase the Dutchman's lead in this race.

    Valtteri Bottas, who has yet to pit, is the new race leader.

    HAMILTON REPORTING TYRE PROBLEMS

    Lap 21 Hamilton comes in for some fresh tyres. He's gone for a set of medium tyres in the hope of reaching the end of the race.

  • Ben Hunt

    SO FAR, NO RED FLAGS

    I will admit, I'd almost guaranteed there would be at least one red flag so far, judging by the support races.

    But this GP has been incident free. Already on lap 19/72. It is whizzing by.

    1,000 LAPS

    Max Verstappen has now lead 1,000 laps in Formula One.

  • Ben Hunt

    MAX IS PULLING AWAY

    The Red Bull man is trying to get out of the way of a Hamilton fight back. If he builds a gap it will make life easier on his team when it comes to deciding when to pit him for tyres.

    NEAR MISS FOR GIOVINAZZI

    The Alfa Romeo man is in he thick of the action and almost clatters into Carlos Sainz and then Fernando Alonso.

  • Ben Hunt

    PROBLEMS FOR RICCIARDO?

    His McLaren is pumping out blue smoke and George Russell is travelling behind and says the Aussie is leaking oil.

    Now, it could be a little bit of oil overfill burning off, or maybe there is a bigger issue.

  • Ben Hunt

    LIGHTS OUT – WE ARE GO

    A great start from Verstappen who is already a two car lengths clear of Hamilton into Turn One.

    He absolutely nailed that start. The Red Bull man is flying as Hamilton came under attack from teammate Valtteri Bottas.

    A LITTLE OVER 10 MINUTES TO GO

    And a reminder to how they line up for the Dutch Grand Prix.

  • Ben Hunt

    VERSTAPPEN IS ALL SET

    All eyes are on the Dutchman in his home race. Some incredible scenes already here in Zandvoort.

    Situated just a few miles from Amsterdam out on the coast.

    TIME FOR THE ANTHEM

    For the first time this week, the techno music has stopped as the national anthem is sung to a round of applause.

  • Ben Hunt

    THE CARS ARE ARRIVING ON THE GRID

    But there will only be 18 cars lining up. Nicholas Latifi and Sergio Perez both start from the pitlane after making changes to their Williams and Red Bull cars.

    This is a long race, lots of laps. Expect two pitstops at least. Red Flags and Safety Cars. This promises to be a pulsating contest, an that's before we even mention the two at the front!

  • Ben Hunt

    THIS PLACE IS JUMPING

    The smoke bombs have been lit and orange clouds engulf the track. This is an absolutely mega atmosphere.

  • The Sun

    WAITING

    The tension is building in Zandvoort and Ferrari have their two drivers in P5 and P6 respectively.

    Carlos Sainz is P6 today and sits in sixth place in the Drivers Championship. Guess where he finished in last year's Drivers Championship? Sixth. And the year before that? Sixth. There's a pattern emerging here…

    Will the Madrid man be able to get his third podium of the season and overtake his teammate in the standings? We'll soon find out.

    ALL TO RACE FOR

    Seven time World Champion Lewis Hamilton is gunning for title number eight and could step clear of his closest rival Max Verstappen if the Red Bull man is not able to capitalise on his P1 start today.

    Hamilton will no doubt go out to overtake his rival early and extend his lead at the top of the Drivers Championship with a race win, but Verstappen will surely do whatever it takes to stop that from happening.

    This is set to be an absolute cracker. The countdown is on.
