Receiving his trophy, Norris moves to second in the standings for the first time in his F1 career. Disappointment, but those are the high standards he now operates at.

The anthems have played, Verstappen lifts the trophy and receives his winner's medal. We've seen this one before...

But that was hard work. 

In the cooldown room, Verstappen says he was watching Norris being held up by Russell in the middle stint - giving the defensive work of Mercedes a thumbs up. 

Just as Verstappen's post-race reaction was telling, the fact that Norris and McLaren appear unsatisfied about finishing second says a lot about how far they have come as a team now. 

A proper flying celebration from Verstappen there. That looks like it meant more than some others. Both driver and team are now being forced to work hard for their success now. 

Sainz, Piastri, Perez, Gasly and Ocon round out the points. 

Hamilton is on the podium for the first time this season as Russell and Leclerc complete the top five. 

And through goes the Mexican for eighth. 

Onto the last lap and Leclerc has closed onto the rear of Russell's Mercedes. It'll take a bold move to make a position now. 

Perez is now all over the pack of Gasly onto the final lap.

Another move for Ricciardo, this time on Bottas. A good move on the outside of the Sauber gives him 15th.

Five laps remain and 4.9s separates the lead pair. Hamilton is also safe in third. Leclerc is closing on Russell but may well run out of time to try for a pass. 

Some positive news for RB, Ricciardo gets past Magnussen. Bad news, that's for 16th only.

Barring anything extraordinary, Alpine looks set for a double points finish. Gasly is 14 seconds down on Piastri and five seconds up on Perez to hold eighth, while Ocon is comfortably 10th.

After you sir...Sainz pulls aside to allow Leclerc through into P5. He's 6s off Russell so catching the Mercedes could be a struggle. 

11 laps to go and Verstappen has found an answer to Norris' pace. Perhaps we were being overly optimistic of something happening. 

Here goes Alonso - again, it's an candy-from-baby move into T1.

The closest battle on track between Zhou and Alonso for P12. Both are on hard tyres and the Aston Martin is half a second down on the Sauber.

Around the outside of Turn 1 goes Hamilton, up to P3. 

Will Mercedes let Russell and Hamilton race? 0.5s between the pair and Hamilton has soft tyres and clear pace over his team-mate. 

There goes Perez past Ocon down into Turn 1. Like most moves today, it's a breeze with DRS.

Now Hamilton makes his way through - that was easy. Grip, DRS, slipstream, Turn 1, thank you.

"Verstappen has pitted. This is our chance now," say McLaren. Norris has the hammer down! 

Hamilton isn't nursing too much though - he is all over Sainz for sixth place. He has so much more grip on the softs but can't find his way through.
