Hamilton duly gets by Russell one lap later at the first chicane to move up to P13. 12 laps to go.
Albon locks up at the first chicane and runs off the track and over the kerbs so has to give up his position to Hamilton behind him. The Mercedes driver has Russell up next.

Gasly did a 1m24.0 on that previous lap, but Sainz took a little bit of time out of him. But the McLaren driver needs to step up the pace to catch him.
Ricciardo is the latest driver to overtake Raikkonen, with the Finn going backwards since the restart. The Renault driver is up to sixth place.
Bottas got Raikkonen on that previous lap, and Ricciardo charges past too at Turn 1. It's very "gimme, Kimi" out there today.
Hamilton watch: He is still P15 but has a clear view of Albon's rear wing with 15 laps to go.
Imagine walking in on this race half-way through.
Sainz took 0.6s out of Gasly on that previous lap, so he's getting closer to the AlphaTauri.
Norris steams past Raikkonen now, who's a bit of a sitting duck at the moment. P4 for the second McLaren.
After Giovinazzi pitted to serve his penalty, Bottas is currently up to P6 but isn't making much headway in catching Norris ahead of him.
Stroll now tees up a move at Curva Grande, and manages to get around the outside of Raikkonen at Turn 4. Inch-perfect overtake, that.
Now, Sainz has a four-second gap to Gasly to close down, and 19 laps to do it in.
Sainz dispatches Raikkonen at Turn 1, who is incredibly fair at the chicane and leaves room. Well driven by both.
Stopwatch
Hamilton is on a charge as he sets consecutive fastest laps, the second a 1m22.901s. That's around 1.5 seconds faster than anyone else ahead of him.
Raikkonen is on softs too, compared to Gasly and Sainz on mediums.
Sainz is now within a second of Raikkonen now, so he should be coming to accost the Alfa Romeo driver shortly.
With Giovinazzi serving his penalty and Verstappen out of the race, Hamilton is up to P15 without having to do any overtaking. He still has 14 seconds to bridge in order to catch Albon ahead of him.
Information
Giovinazzi now comes in to serve his penalty, releasing Sainz.
Verstappen is retiring from this race! He is in the pits and jumps out of his Red Bull car just three laps into the restart.
Information
No further action on the first turn incident between Perez and Verstappen from earlier so it is as you were. Perez is P11 and Verstappen, after a poor start, is P14.
It's Gasly, Raikkonen, Giovinazzi, Sainz, Stroll and Norris in the top six. Giovinazzi will have to serve his penalty in the next couple of laps.
Hamilton is back out on the track after his penalty in last place and 29 seconds behind Gasly in the lead. He's got 23 laps to make up the difference - and a lot of track positions!
Sainz gets back ahead of Stroll, and is now ready to attack Giovinazzi.
Information
Hamilton immediately comes in to serve his stop-go, giving Gasly the lead!
But Stroll pulls a mega move on Sainz at the Ascari, great stuff from the Racing Point driver!
Big lock-up for Stroll, goes incredibly deep into Turn 4 and loses a place to Sainz!
Stroll gets swallowed off the line, and that elevates Gasly up to second!
Lights green
And we're away once more!
Information
This race keeps getting stranger - as there is an investigation going on with Perez and Verstappen for an incident at the first turn before the red flag.
Information
The drivers line up on the grid, again, but in very different positions...
Twitter
So, let's start again. Hamilton, Stroll, Gasly, Raikkonen, Giovinazzi, Sainz, Norris, Bottas, Latifi, Ricciardo are your top 10.
Green flag
The cars leave the pitlane, and the clock starts again.
Information
No radio communications on the lap to the grid, says race control.
Information
Norris has been cleared of any penalty for his slow pitlane entry, locking brakes moment, as the race stewards confirm no further action for the McLaren driver.
Information
We should be getting a standing start too, as if things couldn't be any more interesting.
So, a little over five minutes before we get back underway. Let's see what we get for the second half of this race.
17 drivers will take this restart, assuming there are no further issues, having already lost Vettel, Magnussen and Leclerc from this race.
Information
The race will restart at 16:20 local time - in 10 minutes time.
