Further back, Vettel picks off Kvyat to move into 10th at Stowe.
The Red Bull driver has Rosberg breathing down his neck now.
And Verstappen does the exact same thing!
Sideways moment for our race leader at Abbey, Hamilton manages to keep his Mercedes pointing in the right direction but that will have eaten into his lead.

Halfway through this race now: Hamilton leads Verstappen by 6.5s, with Rosberg a further 1.8s behind in third.
Ricciardo is a massive 25s off the lead in fourth, ahead of Perez and Raikkonen.

Quote
"I don't know if the car is okay," says Alonso. "I guess so, but what a shame."
He's told they are checking the car.

Crash
It doesn't look like the Indonesian will get going. That's Manor's day done already.
Haryanto spins the other Manor off at Abbey.
Stopwatch
Third fastest lap in a row by Rosberg: 1:37.317.
Alonso was so lucky to escape his spin largely unharmed, his front-right definitely clouted the barrier, as replays show.
Sainz another one to spin at Abbey, the track is still very wet there.
Bottas goes off at Aintree, however, and now has Nasr breathing down his neck.
Stopwatch
Another fastest lap by Rosberg: 1:37.826 for the German.
He rejoins after a spin and a glancing blow against the barriers, and immediately gets embroiled in a fierce dice with Bottas.
Alonso off at Abbey!
Interesting: Rosberg has the gap to Verstappen down to 2.5s, perhaps the Mercedes is flexing its muscles now the track is drying a little.
Quote
"Blue flag for Kvyat," his engineer tells Palmer.
The Briton is not too happy. "Oh this is a joke," he replies.

Stopwatch

Raikkonen has another excursion off-track at Abbey, a carbon copy of his earlier trip to the tarmac run-off there.
Quote
"Lewis, keep an open mind. People may try to go to the end," Hamilton is told.
He responds: "I want to go to the end on these tyres."
He responds: "I want to go to the end on these tyres."
That's allowed Hamilton to extend his lead to 7.6s.
A big oversteer moment for the Red Bull man (boy?) as he runs wide and rejoins.
Verstappen off the road at Copse!

Lovely outside pass at Stowe by Ricciardo on Perez to take fourth place.
The gap between Hamilton and Verstappen stands at 5.7s. Rosberg is a further 4.7s back, as this race looks increasingly to be of the two-horse variety.
Replays show Alonso had a wheel on the grass approaching Brooklands as he tried to find a way around the outside of Massa, to no avail.
Stopwatch
Fastest lap by Verstappen: 1:40.747.
Quote
Alonso is not impressed with McLaren's strategy.
"We lost so many positions. We need to stop one of the two cars. He went off. We are behind everyone."
"We lost so many positions. We need to stop one of the two cars. He went off. We are behind everyone."
Hulkenberg has cleared Massa for eighth, meanwhile, and now Alonso is all over his former Ferrari wingman.
Sainz also had a moment just then, but he stays seventh.
Penalty
Penalty for Palmer for that pitlane incident, a 10-second stop-and-go.
Good battle between Perez and Ricciardo going on for fourth at the moment, but the Australian trails Verstappen by some 16 seconds now.
Stopwatch
Now Nasr goes quicker: 1:44.685.
Stopwatch
1:45.979. The fastest lap for Kvyat.
Mechanical problem
The Frenchman pulls off at Copse, day over for him it would seem.
There's a Haas going slowly, it's Grosjean.
Pit Stop
Verstappen is the latest driver to switch to mediums. And he rejoins way ahead of Rosberg.
Stopwatch
Vettel set the fastest lap before that, however: 1:46.324.
