10:42Hamilton: "Congrats to Max, they just had the better power on the straights all weekend. I just had no tyres left at the end so lost the position - but it was a good race."
10:40Verstappen: "In the beginning, it was super difficult out there with the wind. We did well to keep the car stable. When we made the call to do the two-stopper, it paid off - but we were made to work hard for it."

10:26Perez now claims P3 from Bottas, steaming around the Mercedes at Signes. Bottas is still pressing, however, and doesn't escape to the pits just yet.
10:24
