    I think they were all waiting for someone else to jump and no one did. Could be an interesting last 5 laps if tyres start falling apart.

    Hamiltons tyres are definitely now gone. He went first and gunned it trying to undercut. A broken Ricciardo is pulling away from Hamilton at a second a lap. Going to be a mess come the last few laps.

    3 laps for Max to surprise us all and hit no one.

    Horner seemed to suggest he was under Team Orders to hold station. I wonder if that was to protect Daniel from a potential Safety Car restart.

    I reckon all the top three should be pretty happy with their result in their own way.

    Fantastic drive from Ricciado.

    180bhp down and the chassis still had time to give!

    As expected today was horrendous. The top teams cruising round 4 seconds off the pace, a crippled car easy holding off Vettel who then had dead tyres.

    Congrats to Danny, his joy at winning was the best thing about this race.

    The race itself was dull as can be, I managed to stay awake and I don't know how.

    Horner reckons Ricciardo lost 25% of his power - or 2.5 seconds a lap. Monaco is the only place he could have defended with that!
