We're back underway at Interlagos!
Alpine tell Ocon not to fight Alonso. He seems to disagree though.
Here we go then!
Tsunoda hasn't unlapped himself yet. It seems that the FIA have forgotten about him.
Not long to go until we restart here at Interlagos.
Russell : "So what are we doing? Racing? Or securing the 1-2?"
Mercedes: "You are racing, just be respectful"
Russell, Hamilton, Perez, Sainz, Bottas, Leclerc, Vettel, Ocon, Alonso, Verstappen, Zhou, Schumacher, Stroll, Gasly, Albon, Tsunoda and Latifi.
Ricciardo, Magnussen and Norris are out of the race.
Tasty! Full Safety Car deployed.
Alonso and Sainz stop under the VSC for soft tyres. Only an 11-second loss under the VSC so it's worth it.
Norris is out of the race.
Will there be a Safety Car?
