F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2023 - Race Day: LIVE UPDATES!

Verstappen, Perez, Alonso, Gasly, Sainz, Albon, Ocon, Zhou, Tsunoda and Norris.

Great pace from the Aston Martin driver so far - he's running in DRS range. 

Another move into Turn 1 - Hamilton gets past Leclerc.

Shortly after, Piastri gets through at Turn 3.

A great move from Piastri into Turn 1 on Bottas for 15th.

Late on the brakes - a great lunge.

He's lost out to Albon and now Ocon, relegating the Dane into ninth.

Verstappen's lead is up to 1.2s over Perez, while Alonso is in DRS range of the Mexican.

Safety Car in this lap... no more rain expected for 25 laps.

Safety Car is still pounding round.

It should come in on the next lap with the track now clear.

LAP 16/72

Sargeant into the barriers (he's okay)

Verstappen, Perez, Alonso, Gasly, Sainz, Zhou, Magnussen, Albon, Ocon, Tsunoda, Norris, Leclerc, Hamilton, Piastri, Bottas, Hulkenberg, Lawson, Russell and Stroll.

Five-second time penalty for speeding for the Alpine man.

He's currently in fourth ahead of Sainz.

On Lap 16, Sargeant has crashed his Williams again.

The race has now been neutralised.

"Did Max undercut us?"  

Red Bull reply: "Yes he undercut us"

Verstappen, Perez, Alonso, Gasly, Sainz, Zhou, Magnussen, Piastri, Tsunoda, Ocon, Albon, Norris, Leclerc, Bottas, Hulkenberg, Hamilton, Lawson, Russell, Stroll and Sargeant.

Red Bull now bring Perez in from the race lead.

He rejoins in second behind Verstappen.

Red Bull decide to pit Verstappen first, not race leader Perez.

Gasly comes in as well.

Zhou, Alonso and Sainz all come in for slick tyres as the FIA enable DRS.

The track is drying up quickly here.

More rain is on the way but the slicks are faster than intermediates.

Albon and Piastri are quicker than the Red Bulls.

Leclerc lets Sainz by into Turn 1 for sixth. Leclerc currently has front wing damage after an incident on Lap 1.

The Dutchman was four seconds quicker than Perez on the last lap. Ridiculous pace.

Verstappen gets past Zhou into Turn 3 for second.

He's 10.4s behind Perez now.

Alonso gets past Leclerc, who is running with damage. 

Perez, Zhou, Verstappen, Gasly, Leclerc, Alonso, Sainz, Tsunoda, Magnussen and Ocon.

Perez, Zhou, Gasly, Verstappen, Russell, Leclerc, Albon, Albon, Tsunoda and Sainz.

It's a crazy opening few laps.
