    Norris needs a second a lap to catch Max - has to be too much?

    I'd say most of the radio messages involving Piastri and LeClerc are just to create confusion.

    Piastri just has enough to hold Leclerc off

    McClaren seems to have a reasonable pace advantage in this tyre window to have stayed in front for this long without DRS. Massive credit to Piastri for taking that opportunity early and his intelligent defending.

    Catching is one thing but I can't see Norris pulling off the overtake

    This too shall pass.

    He is 1.5 to 2 seconds a lap quicker now by looks of it, he will get by

    Wasn't there a drag race tothe line for position a few years ago? Bottas and Stroll I think.

    This too shall pass.

    Norris only 5.8 behind now. He will be in DRS range on lap 49

    I wonder will LeClerc try a lunge, Perez could well be the one to get the benefit of this battle. Great driving from Piastri and LeClerc so far.

    Top4 and 6th and 7th are ridiculously close, could be an epic last couple of laps.

    This has been great, Norris getting past will be a massive statement from 15. This season having shades of Button winning the championship if Max hangs on to win it
