Lap 56

Hamilton starts the final lap of the race.

All the FOM feed is showing is the Verstappen-Ricciardo fight. Raikkonen has closed up on it, he'll be asking serious questions about Ferrari's strategy this evening as he really should have closed out the podium places.

Ricciardo right on the tail of his teammate through Turn 1!

Verstappen locks up at Turn 6 and very nearly loses the position to Ricciardo! They are briefly alongside each other but the Dutchman powers out of the corner.

Hamilton wins the Chinese Grand Prix

It's all square at the top of the championship - Hamilton and Vettellevel on points.

At the penultimate corner Ricciardo thinks about a lunge on the inside but thinks about it, Verstappen moves to cover the inside and Ricciardo locks up and runs deep.

"Get in there Lewis! Absolute masterclass," Bonnington tells Hamilton. It was a super drive out in front - but no question in mind at the driver of the day. Verstappen for a thrilling start in wet conditions and a well-deserved podium.

Lap 55

We haven't heard any complaints from Ricciardo, who is also sat in turbulent air of his teammate. Verstappen still showing a bit of the teenager in him...

They start the penultimate lap with a 0.5s gap.

Lap 54

Ricciardo could probably reach out and tap his teammate's car on the rear wing.... maybe not, but he's very close.

Grosjean getting blue flags but he's still a way down the circuit, I don't know what Grosjean can really do there other than just completely lift the throttle.

Lap 53

Blue flags for Grosjean now.

"It's ridiculous mate, I'm losing grip!" Verstappen tells Red Bull. This showing how that distance of turbulent air has increased with these new cars.

Lap 52

Verstappen asking Red Bull to make sure Grosjean gets out of the way for the blue flags because he normally doesn't move over. Grosjean doesn't look close enough for blue flags, but Verstappen clearly already feeling the turbulent air.

Ricciardo 0.5s behind his teammate. The Australian had a tough race earlier on and he'd love to finish ahead of his teammate.

Verstappen still telling Red Bull he's struggling in the turbulant air of Grosjean, but he's told he won't be blue-flagged until he's within one second. Which is fair, you can't expect these guys to jump out of the way whenever a car on the lead lap comes near to them.

Lap 51

Wow. Replays show a lovely move from Grosjean, sweeping around the Massa through the first sequence of corners. Massa has now pitted for fresh tyres.
