Lap 14: Webber also pits ... but Alonso is out ahead of Vettel.
Lap 14: Alonso pits for the switch to hard tyres while Massa sets another quick time.
Lap 13: Ferrari must surely react to this and Alonso is due in the pits.
Lap 13: Alguersuari's next target is Glock in 18th, six seconds up the road. He should catch him in around three laps time.
Lap 13: The Red Bull emerges sixth, just ahead of Kubica and he can now set the pace in clear air.
Lap 13: Alguersuari passes Yamamoto for 19th as they go side by side over the line. The Spaniard takes the place into Turn 1.
Lap 13: Vettel is the first man to pit and change to hard rubber.
Lap 12: Alguersuari is 20th and now less than two seconds behind Yamamoto. A change of position is likely here soon.
Lap 12: The track temperature has dropped to 28 Celsius as cloud cover builds around the circuit.
Lap 11: Senna and Glock are battling hard for 17th position, while Kovalainen continues to lead the new teams battle in 15th.
Lap 11: Vettel is now 3.6 seconds off the lead in third.
Lap 11: Massa clocks a 1m18.915s to set a new benchmark time.
Lap 10: Kobayashi in 10th is doing a fine job hanging on to the Mercedes pair in front. He is beginning to drop Barrichello just slightly.
Lap 10: There is some slight evidence of graining on Hamilton's rear tyres and it may be the McLaren's low-downforce setup is beginning to hurt the rear tyres.
Lap 9: Hamilton has had a slow lap in his McLaren and Webber is now homing in on the championship leader.
Lap 9: Yamamoto is 19th and being caught quickly by a recovering Alguersuari. Sutil is 21st and Liuzzi last in 22nd.
Lap 9: Button has been wide at Turn 1 and is now slipping back from Webber in sixth.
Lap 8: The top six are lapping in the 1m19s bracket with no sign yet of the pace fading on the super-softs.
Lap 8: Pedro de la Rosa is 14th so far with Kovalainen 12 seconds behind him in 15th, di Grassi 16th, Senna 17th and Glock 18th.
Lap 8: Massa responds with his fastest lap, pegging the lead gap at 1.5 seconds.
Lap 8: Kamui Kobayashi made a solid start and runs in 10th place, with a disgruntled Barrichello 11th, Petrov 12th and Hulkenberg 13th.
Lap 7: Liuzzi is into the pits also for a second time as Force India's disastrous day continues. Trulli was sent back out by Lotus but he is touring in to retire.
Lap 7: Alonso sets another fastest lap and he is closing on leader Massa.
Lap 7: Rosberg is a second behind team-mate Schumacher in ninth.
Lap 6: Alonso takes the fastest lap away from team-mate Alonso with a tour in 1m19.292s.
Lap 6: Sutil is back into the pits for a second time and rejoins after further work is complete. He is 22nd.
Lap 5: Rubens Barrichello made a poor start and has slipped to 11th. He claims he was pushed towards the wall at the start by Kobayashi and wants the team to speak to the FIA race director about it.
Lap 5: Schumacher had a great run though the opening lap and is right behind Kubica in a battle over seventh.
Lap 4: Hamilton has drifted off the back of Vettel's Red Bull and is no longer in range to make a move.
Lap 4: Trulli is into the pits and the Lotus is pushed back into the garage. His day could be over already. Kovalainen is up in 15th.
Lap 4: Replays at Turn 6 show that Alguersuari missed his brakes and rammed team-mate Buemi. Liuzzi ran over the debris and stopped to have it checked.
Lap 4: Gaps are beginning to space out between the leading contenders with Massa leading by 1.5 seconds over the line from Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Webber and Button.
Lap 3: Liuzzi was also in for repairs and he is back on track but almost last.
Lap 3: Replays show a poor start for Vettel and he lost out to Massa while failing to stop Alonso also getting through.
Lap 3: Alguersuari came into the pits with the front wing missing. It is likely that he rear-ended team-mate Buemi, hurting Toro Rosso's afternoon.
Lap 3: Button is sixth, from Kubica and a fast-starting Michael Schumacher.
Lap 2: Hamilton is now tailing Vettel and looking to take advantage of the McLaren's straight line speed.

Lap 2: Massa caught out the scrap between Alonso and Vettel and leads into the second lap at Hockenheim.
