Lap 46: Webber continues to fall backwards and is just 3.6 seconds ahead of Hamilton at the line.
Lap 46: Christian Horner tells Vettel to try and pass those infront as they are going to the finish.

Lap 44: Alguersuari pits the Toro Rosso and rejoins the action in 12th place.
Lap 44: Hulkenberg defends his position against Adrian Sutil by taking the straight-line route at the final chicane. It will be interesting to see if the stewards feel the Williams driver gained an advantage. This is the battle for tenth.
Lap 44: Alonso is the next man on a charge as he clocks a 1m18.567s.
Lap 44: Webber will resume behind team-mate Vettel if he stops at the moment in that large gap building to sixth-place man Kubica.

Lap 43: The gap is down to 8.2 seconds between Webber and Hamilton as the leader is arriving behind a wall of traffic.
Lap 43: Massa decides it is time to have a go at Liuzzi. Seconds out it's round two between the pair at Turn 1 and the Brazilian takes the outside line. It doesn't pay off and the Force India driver holds on to 13th.
Lap 42: Behind the intriguing top five battle, Kubica is falling away in sixth with Rosberg also drifting in seventh and no real battles in the latter half of the points.
Lap 42: Sebastien Buemi has done a great job all day. He is eighth and now catching a four-second gap to Nico Rosberg, who is seventh.

Lap 40: Hamilton sets the fastest lap at 1m18.810s and closes to 10.2 seconds off the lead.
Lap 40: Webber reports his tyres are slowly starting to go off. He faces a lengthy stint on soft rubber if he pits any time soon.
Lap 40: Sutil is just ahead of the squabbling pair in 12th and hasn't been able to pull away since passing his Force India team-mate.
Lap 39: Felipe Massa has spent the whole race chasing after Liuzzi following their pitlane repairs at the end of lap one. They are now together, fighting over 13th place.
Lap 39: Webber of course needs a stop for softs and his current lead is not enough to make a stop and resume still in the lead.
Lap 39: Red Bull will of course know Vettel's plans and reckon Hamilton, Alonso and Button are all planning a lengthy final stint.
Lap 38: Webber leads by 11.8 seconds over Hamilton and Alonso. The leader is told those cars plan to run to the end on tyres.
Lap 38: Race control announce that an earlier incident between Robert Kubica and Adrian Sutil will be investigated after the race.

Lap 36: Felipe Massa is 14th and once again sets the fastest lap of the race - 1m19.024s.
Lap 36: Behind Schumacher, Hulkenberg hardly lost any places in that earlier drive-through and runs in 11th, with Sutil 12th and Liuzzi 13th.
Lap 36: Vettel is asking the team if he needs to pass Button to win but may be disappointed to hear that Alonso and Hamilton are also on the same strategy and need to be passed too.
Lap 35: Schumacher takes on the super-soft tyres and rejoins in tenth place.
Lap 35: Kovalainen pits from 16th place in the Lotus and rejoins. Schumacher now pits from ninth.
Lap 34: As the race continues, of course, rubber goes down on the asphalt and reduces the issues with the tyres as grip levels increase.
Lap 34: Webber's pace is very good at the moment well into his spell on the harder tyres.
Lap 34: Nico Rosberg is eighth with Mercedes team-mate Schumacher now ninth after getting the better of Alguersuari some time ago.
Lap 33: Webber of course still needs to run the softer tyres as he is one of the few yet to do so.
Lap 33: Pedro De La Rosa is out of the race. He rolled to a stop at the Senna S with smoke pouring out of the back of the Sauber.
Lap 32: Vettel is back on the harder tyre after that stint on the softs. He's behind Button at the moment.
Lap 32: Barrichello pits from 15th place in the Williams, as does Jarno Trulli in the Lotus.
Lap 32: So it's now Webber from Hamilton, Alonso, Button, Vettel, Buemi and Kubica.
Lap 31: Nico Hulkenberg comes in to take his drive-through for speeding in the pitlane. He rejoins in around 15th place.
