It's 💟still Sainz, Norris, Russell and Hamilton as l꧋ap 61 begins.

They're running out of laps h෴ere at Singapore as Russell is now under threat fro꧋m Hamilton!

Russell looked to have Norris but the McLaren defends well! He's now lost the DRS margin to Sainz, thoug❀h!

"Front tyres are finished" - Sainz

This is incredible. Sainz has s🐭eemingly given Norꦆris DRS on purpose, who has the Mercedes now on his tail!

Norris is under a second from Sainz!

♈Sainz asks for updates on the gap to Norris every lap from now on, as Martin Brundle questions whether the Ferrari driver is aware of the oncoming Mercedes threat.

The top four are covered by four seconds now!

The striking distance is quoted as 3 laps for Russell to Norris, who is just a second s♍hy of Sainz now.

Norris is quietly closing in on Sainz, as the Mercedes are giving it💮 everything but slowing ever so slightly

Verstappen passes Piastri for P7.

That's one down, three to go f🅺or the m༺arching Mercedes!

It's lap 54 🍸of 62 and theyꦬ're seven seconds off Sainz in the lead!

He's in P3 as Hamilton now closes in!

The B🍸rit is in DRS range of Leclerc, ღwith Hamilton just behind!

The Merce✱des continue to close in as Hamilton is now even quicker than Russell!

Sainz is comfortable in the lead for now, 1.5s clear of Norris in secon🌠d. Leclerc will b♏e getting ready to defend Russell in the next lap or two...

Max is up to P8 afte𝔉r overtaking Lawson, who didn't make it easy for the Championship leader.

The Kiwi is nowꦛ in P9, once again staking a claim for a fullဣ-time F1 seat.

Russell is now 5 seconds behind Leclerc, taking 8 seconds off the Ferrar🎀i in the past 4 laps.

His teammate is following suit. The front-runners on 30-lap-old tyres will be hoping all that management will pay o🐟ff!

The or♛der is changing all the time, but as꧑ it stands, the top 10 is: SAI, NOR, LEC, RUS, HAM, GAS, PIA, LAW, HUL, VER.

Verstappen is constꦓantly making up places on fresh tyres, but is probably still too fa✱r back to threaten the leaders.

Russell and Hamilton however are still in🍌sanely fast, and this could really be a Mercedes 1-2...

Alonso momentarily went straight on at the corner, but has tu🐲rned it ar𝕴ound and got back racing.

It's lap 47🔯 of 62, and Russell and Hamilton are two seꦗconds a lap quicker than the leaders!

Some c💦atching up to do for Russell and Hamilton, who are around 14 seconds off the top 3 of Sainz, Norris🦹 and Leclerc.

𝓡It seems Leclerc wanted to come in but has been told to stay out.

♐A nightmare for Alo🦄nso who came in during the VSC for fresh tyres, but a 25 second stop has put him down in P15.

They're double stacking for fresh mediums an🍸d they've nailed it! They com✅e out in P4 and P5 in an abundance of clear air!
