Lap 32: Sutil and Alguersuari are still fighting tooth and nail for 15th with no end to this scrap in sight just yet.
Lap 33: Schumacher is really beginning to lose some pace. So much so, that Barrichello in 14th is beginning to catch Kobayashi.

Lap 34: The gap is just two seconds between the Ferrari pair and we surely haven't seen the end of Alonso's ambitions for the lead.
Lap 35: Eighth placed de la Rosa has now caught Hulkenberg. Oh and now the Spaniard makes a move at Turn 6 ... and it sticks!
Lap 35: Vettel, third, has dropped away from Alonso in recent laps and is now 6.6 seconds off the lead.
