Lap 49: Sutil still leads this train of cars in eighth place with Schumacher, Hulkenberg, Kubica, Heidfeld, Alguersuari, Buemi and Massa down in 15th.
Lap 49: Vettel is right with Massa now as the lapping begins. The Ferrari man allows the leader through.
Lap 48: Massa remains tight up Buemi's gearbox as they battle for 14th.
Lap 48: Vettel is warned of the approaching midfield train and told to be careful by his race engineer.
Lap 47: Webber is now just 1.5 seconds behind the leader as they close rapidly on the scrap between Massa and Buemi.
Lap 46: Vettel laps Trulli as he draws ever closer to that nightmare midfield train.
Lap 45: Di Grassi retires from the race with technical problems in the Virgin. Kovalainen leads the new teams battle in 19th place.
Lap 44: Vettel is slowly closing on the train of cars that start with Massa in 16th and snake on to Sutil up in eighth.
Lap 43: Webber is now 2.5 seconds behind leader Vettel as the gap ebbs and flows in traffic.

Lap 42: Massa is now less than one second behind Buemi and is set to challenge the Toro Rosso imminently for 14th.
Lap 41: Schumacher is on Sutil's gearbox out of the Juncao ... but again he can't make the move into the Senna S. Sutil continues to hold eighth.
Lap 41: Rosberg is the latest man to dive to the inside of the long-stinting Kobayashi at the Senna S, promoting the Mercedes to sixth.
Lap 40: Webber knows that he could be just a point behind Alonso at the final round if he can pass team-mate Vettel.
Lap 40: Kubica is in the middle of that group in 11th with Heidfeld 12th, Alguersuari 13th and Buemi 14th. Massa is now just 1.4s behind Buemi.
Lap 39: The lead gap is down to 1.8 seconds as the Red Bull pair scrap through lapped traffic.
Lap 39: Hamilton will be 24 points off the title lead if he finishes fourth to Alonso, in mathematical contention but needing a miracle in Abu Dhabi
Lap 39: Schumacher is still ninth and has not been able to find a way round the Force India. Hulkenberg remains in 10th.
Lap 38: The midfield squabble continues and the other teams are willing Sutil to pit from his current eighth place.
Lap 38: Webber would be 8 points behind Alonso if the race ends like this, with Vettel 15 points behind the championship leader.
Lap 37: Barrichello takes on super-soft tyres and can run to the finish but 34 laps may be a stretch too far for the option tyre.
Lap 37: Up front, Red Bull continue in a comfortable one-two with plenty for the team to ponder for the second half of the race.
Lap 37: It's all slipping away for Williams after the jubilation of yesterday. Barrichello makes it back into the pits as Patrick Head watches on.
Lap 36: Barrichello is alongside Alguersuari over the start-finish line and the move has failed. He takes over 13th briefly but has a puncture for his trouble.

Lap 33: Alonso asks his team about the pace of the Red Bulls - currently pulling away from the Ferrari at around half-a-second per lap.
Lap 32: Sutil stays out and the gap between the German in eighth down to Buemi in 15th is just over seven seconds.
Lap 31: Button has finally cleared Kobayashi wit a fine move down the inside at the first corner.
