Stopwatch
Bottas does a 1m29.764s on lap 28 to set the fastest lap.
Stopwatch
It's settled down a bit in these middle stages. Battle for seventh is close but stagnant, and Hamilton's popped in a 1m29.712s.
Albon pits for the second time, stopping on lap 31, as he switches to the medium tyres. The Red Bull driver also serves his five-second time penalty for his clash with Magnussen.
Giovinazzi is under investigation for a safety car infringement.
Stopwatch
Mercedes continue to trade fastest laps, and Bottas does a 1m29.617s.
At the back of the pack, Raikkonen's race pace has disappeared as he drops down to P16 after being overtaken by Latifi.
Stopwatch
It's a 1m29.326s for Lewis Hamilton - this is quite the battle.
Radio Comms
"Did you drink? Did you remember to drink?" Verstappen enquires, clearly without too much to do...
Rumours abound that Verstappen is currently whiling the time away with The Big Book of Sudoku, but he can't seem to find either a 1 or a 2...
Giovinazzi has been given a five-second time penalty for a Safety Car infringement. The Italian driver is currently P13 and if the penalty was applied right now he would drop down one spot behind Russell.
Grosjean's aggressive race strategy and defending is coming back to bite him, as Ricciardo gets ahead at Brooklands, with some questionable driving by the French driver again, before Stroll also gets ahead later on in the lap.
Verstappen's close to getting a free pitstop, with Leclerc 22s behind him.
The Haas driver duly pits for the first time in this race and drops to P17 . But things could get worse for Grosjean as his incident with Ricciardo has been noted by the stewards for "moving under braking".
It's lap 40. Hamilton's 2.1s clear of Bottas, with Verstappen a further 10s back. Leclerc's still fourth, 4.5s clear of Sainz, who's 1.8s ahead of Norris.
For those having a race to forget, Albon gets ahead of Raikkonen for P15 but that'll come a little comfort given how his day has played out so far.
Stopwatch
Hamilton's done a 1m29.282s to flex his muscles and open the gap to Bottas to 2.8s.
Stopwatch
But then, Verstappen finds some pace and posts in a 1m29.070s. Game on?
With 10 laps to go the midfield fight has somewhat calmed down, for now, with Grosjean now out of the equation having pitted. Sainz is P5 leading McLaren team-mate Norris who is ahead of Ricciardo, Stroll, Ocon, Gasly and Vettel.
Bottas is struggling with some vibrations, and has lost further ground to Hamilton at the front. It's now a three-second buffer between the two.
Information
The incident at Brooklands involving Grosjean and Ricciardo will be investigated after the race.
Hamilton has now done his weekly shop, and he's just about to check out. The gap to Bottas opens up to 3.8s.
Good mates Albon and Russell put friendships aside for a moment as the Red Bull driver looks for a way ahead of the Williams. The Thai driver duly gets the move done on the charge to Brooklands to move up to P14.
Esteban Ocon take a bow! The Renault driver dives around the outside of Stroll at Brooklands to grab P8. Great move.
Radio Comms
"Carlos needs to get a move on," says Norris. Ricciardo behind is getting very close for comfort.
Moments after that overtake Stroll is shown the black and white flag.
Radio Comms
"A lot of vibrations on the car", Sainz reports, which probably means that Norris is going to have to clear his team-mate sooner or later.
Raikkonen has lost most of his front wing, which appears to have broken in a clatter with a kerb. Going bad to worse for the Finn.
Stroll is another suffering late on in the race, as he gets overtaken by Gasly for P9. It looks like the Racing Point driver is down on power.
Game on indeed - Verstappen's now just 5.7s off of Bottas now. There's just a handful of laps left, but it'll be close come the end.
Information
Bottas has gone wide, and Verstappen's passed him! Verstappen grabs second place, while Bottas has a puncture!
Albon, to his credit, is fighting to the end as he moves ahead of Vettel to take P11 with two laps to go.
Pit stop
Verstappen's ver-stopping too, now he has a free pitstop thanks to Bottas' front-left puncture.
Leclerc takes third place now! Bottas returns to the track in 12th place.
Crash
That's Sainz with a puncture too!!
Crash
Hamilton's tyre too!
Information
Hamilton's in a race against time here, as his tyre has shredded to pieces!
Checkered flag
Hamilton, JUST ABOUT hangs onto that tyre, and wins the British Grand Prix!
Verstappen grabs second, as Leclerc grabs a podium too!
Sainz's puncture puts him back out in the race but outside of the points. Meanwhile Bottas, who pitted after his puncture, can't get ahead of Vettel on the final lap and misses out on the final point position in P11.
Information
Ricciardo claims fourth, with Norris fifth, Ocon sixth, with Gasly, Albon, Stroll and Vettel completing the top 10.
