Lap 30: Nico Hulkenberg has been given a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pitlane. He is tenth at the moment.
Lap 29: Adrian Sutil ran off the road at Turn 1. He rejoined but with a punctured right rear tyre. The tyre almost threw him into the wall coming down the penultimate straight as it delaminated badly, but he made it into the pits and has had fresh tyres fitted.
Lap 29: Alonso pits from the lead, handing that to Webber who is running a bit longer on his rubber.

Lap 26: It's possible Kubica lost some aerodynamic parts in that off-track incident as Schumacher barged by at Turn 3.
Lap 25: Meanwhile, Sutil is right on the gearbox of Kubica and the pair squabble into the first corner.
Lap 25: Petrov has been handed a second drive-through penalty for causing a collision at the start of the race.
Lap 25: Vettel is asked to tell his engineers if his tyres are falling apart but he thinks the rear tyres are only falling off slowly at this stage.
Lap 25: Lucas Di Grassi runs in the 19th position. Glock is 20th, 12 seconds behind him. Petrov is 21st but it's all going wrong for the Russian.
Lap 24: Alonso is right in striking distance of leader Hamilton to try and make the difference at the next round of stops.
Lap 24: Massa is 14th and Kovalainen is only three seconds behind the F10 in 15th with De La Rosa 16th, Barrichello 17th and Trulli 18th.
Lap 23: Alonso reckons it it "looking good" as he is told of the positions and tyre choices on the radio.
Lap 23: Alguersuari is 11th and Schumacher still isn't able to find a way past him in 12th. Liuzzi is 13th - 16 seconds behind Schumacher.
Lap 23: Improving pace from the Red Bulls now with a 1m20.049s for Webber.
Lap 22: Buemi is holding on to that eighth place but has fallen to 4.9s behind Sutil. Rosberg is ninth with Hulkenberg a fine tenth.
Lap 21: Vettel finds better pace now on the softer tyres as more rubber goes down on the surface.
Lap 21: The race is finally beginning to settle down a little as battles develop. Massa passes Kovalainen for 14th place.
Lap 21: The Red Bull pair have fresher tyres but are currently slower than the leading three cars.
Lap 20: De La Rosa pits from 16th and Petrov is in for tyres. This is his first tyre change following that drive-through penalty.
Lap 20: Onboard shots show some rear graining on Hamilton's tyres but his pace is good at the moment in the low 1m20s.
Lap 20: Hamilton leads but Alonso is not giving up the fight in his Ferrari and is under a second behind the McLaren.
Lap 20: Rosberg does it again and posts a whopping 1m19.214s. He remains ninth but just 2.5s behind Buemi.
Lap 19: Rosberg sets the fastest lap of the race with 1m19.431s in ninth. Behind him Hulkenberg is tenth, Alguersuari is 11th and he has Schumacher crawling all over the back of him in 12th.
Lap 18: Hamilton, Alonso and Button have the advantage of not being forced to use the soft tyre again - something Vettel will also avoid given he is out on that fragile rubber now.
Lap 18: Massa is up to 16th place in the Ferrari and is making reasonable progress. That becomes 15th as he passes the pitted Kovalainen.
Lap 18: Teams will now be frantically rethinking the strategy and wondering how many more stops they should make.
