17:57 Bottas: "Of course I wanted to fight for the win, but it's a good result for the team. We have such a great car - the team reacted well with the strategy. The team was perfect this weekend."

17:56 "Today I felt that synergy with the car that I haven't felt all year". A big moment for Hamilton who has extended his championship lead.

17:56

17:56 Clearly he enjoyed that win much more than the inherited victory in Baku two weeks ago.

17:55 Hamilton carefully extracts himself from his Mercedes and runs for a 'crowdsurf' celebration with his team.

17:52

17:52 "That's more like it guys! Great job!" Hamilton delighted with Mercedes' performance in that race, and rightly so.

17:50 Retirements: Vandoorne, Ocon, Raikkonen, Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Gasly

17:50 Result: 1 Hamilton; 2 Bottas; 3 Verstappen; 4 Vettel; 5 Ricciardo; 6 Magnussen; 7 Sainz; 8 Alonso; 9 Perez; 10 Leclerc; 11 Stroll; 12 Hartley; 13 Ericsson; 14 Sirotkin

17:50 Bottas holds onto his tyres to take second, with Verstappen third, Vettel fourth and Ricciardo a distant fifth.

17:49 Sounds like Perez had a problem on the final lap but he makes it over the line to still take ninth.

17:48 Hamilton wins the Spanish Grand Prix!

17:47 Hamilton is on his final lap.

17:47 Alonso does his best lap of the day so far and closes to within 4.9s of seventh-placed Sainz but we're onto the penultimate lap.

17:46 Vettel isn't going to trouble Verstappen. This race is done save for errors or attrition in the final laps.

17:45

17:45 Hartley makes it past Ericsson and takes 12th place.

17:45 "The more I manage it the more I lose temperature" reports Bottas, who is hanging on well but clearly hanging on nonetheless in these closing stages. He should have enough in hand.

17:44 Stroll looks like he might be having a bit of a push to catch Leclerc for the final point. The Williams does its best lap yet, takes 1.5s out of the Sauber and gets the gap down to 7.5s but there are only four laps left.

17:43 Hartley is now right back on Ericsson's tail and trying to make the battle for 12th really, really interesting in a race that needs some interesting things to happen.

17:43 "I had a fuel drop-out," says a concerned Sainz. He's told to "use scenario one" and "take it easy through Turn 3". He's running seventh, with an 8s margin to Alonso behind.

17:42 "Get Sirotkin out of the way please," says Perez of the last-placed Williams ahead. Force India assures him Sirotkin is about to get blue flags.

17:41 Hartley managed to close in on Ericsson for 12th for a while as the gaps ebbed and flowed while they were lapped, but they're now 1.7s apart again.

17:39 Perez goes around the outside of Leclerc into Turn 1 and makes it into ninth. But Sauber is still on course for a second straight points finish with Stroll a further 10s back and seven laps left.

17:39 Vettel isn't really making inroads in the only battle left inside the top five. Hamilton's lead is almost 18s now, with Bottas nearly 10s clear of Verstappen, who is carefully managing a 2.8s gap to Vettel. Ricciardo is quick but almost 20s down on the Ferrari.

17:36 "Rain forming up to the west, but it's still quite far away. We will keep an eye on it," McLaren tells Alonso.

17:35 Perez has now closed to within DRS range of ninth-placed Leclerc with 10 laps left.

17:34 Alonso is optimistically radioing McLaren hoping for rain to arrive, but is told "the forecast hasn't changed". He's still 6s behind Sainz in eighth.

17:34 Bottas is looking in decent shape as we approach the final 10 laps, so Ferrari's second stop is increasingly looking like a strategic error.

17:33 "That's a really good pace Max, keep it up" Red Bull tells Verstappen, as Vettel attempts to home in on third place.

17:29 Perez is going to be a real problem for Leclerc at the end of this race - the gap between them in ninth and 10th down to 2.4s with 15 laps left.

17:29 Ricciardo has woken up, setting a new fastest lap of 1m19.147s, 0.5s quicker than Hamilton, but Ricciardo is way behind Vettel and destined for fifth unless tyre chaos comes to pass.

17:27 Verstappen seems to be keeping up a reasonable pace despite that damage, so this won't be easy meat for Vettel.
