Sainz dives by Hulkenberg for fifth at Turn 1, but bad news might be coming for the Spaniard. He is noted for potentially speeding in the pitlane. He locked up horribly coming into the pitlane, so where there is (tyre) smoke, there's fire...

Not a lot of movement going on outside of the top 10. Hamilton is still stuck in 13th. He's well within DRS range of Albon, but that Williams is very slippery on the straights.
