Norris, trying and failing to punch a fly mid-answer, on his hard tyres over the softs at the end: "They just wanted to give me a test I guess. That's what Zak said, he probably called the shots on that one! I wanted the softs, it made more sense with the safety car, but I don't care, I am P2!"

Norris on his second place: "Pretty insane, pretty amazing. The team did an amazing job, so big thanks to them. But the team put me on hard tyres at the pitstop, I don't know why, they are still beginners at some things!"

A five-second penalty for Stroll for his contact with Gasly. Already in P11, the overall impact is unlikely to make a difference to his season.

Oh to be a fly on the wall in Ferrari motorhome this evening. after starting P4/5, to be now running P9/10 is a spectacular failure.
Yes, the safety car did nothing to help their strategy, but everyone else also had that to navigate.

Norris also gets a black and white flag so if he gets a penalty he'll currently drop from second to fourth.

Russell is shown the black and white flag for track limits, so one more and he'll get a five-second penalty, which right now would drop him from fifth to seventh behind Perez and Alonso.

Replays of the Stroll-Gasly incident show that Stroll went off the track and made contact with the Alpine when he bounced back onto the track.
I'd say that's a slam dunk penalty, but I thought that earlier about the earlier track limits overtaking issue!

Perez throws it down the inside of Sainz at Vale and Albon also takes advantage to gain a position!
Leclerc climbs past as well! From P7 to P10 in a flash for Sainz.

We were wrong about Stroll having to hand a position back. It seems that you are now permitted to go beyond the track limits and still gain a place.
Given his time was deleted for track limits, we'll let you decide on that one!

Stroll has been noted for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. He ran over the white line when passing Gasly, and that is a position he will almost certainly be instructed to hand back.

Norris drifts wide at Luffield to give Hamilton the inside line, but the McLaren driver keeps enough of his car ahead to grit it out on the outside to keep second place.
