Lap 30: Button resumes in eighth, behind team-mate Hamilton.
Lap 30: Heidfeld is a full 24.6 seconds behind Alguersuari in 16th, and has little chance of progressing without the help of a safety car.
Lap 31: Replays show Vettel almost stalled on his getaway from the pits, but he is back in pursuit of Alonso on fresh rubber.
Lap 31: It's an interesting decision from Red Bull to pit on the same lap as Alonso, giving up the opportunity of some fast laps from Vettel.
Lap 31: Rosberg pits and will also fall behind Webber and the McLaren pair.
Lap 31: Michael Schumacher pits from ninth position. He takes on the hard tyres and rolls away.
Lap 32: Barrichello is still ahead of Webber and is yet to stop in the Williams. His pace has been reasonable, helping Webber's cause.
Lap 32: Vettel has the bit between his teeth now and he's right with Alonso in a battle for the lead.
Lap 32: Replays show that on the lap before Schumacher stopped, Kobayashi had a massive go up the inside and the pair made heavy side-to-side contact.
Lap 32: The safety car has been deployed.
Lap 33: Clearly, Kobayashi sustained damage. He crashes into the barriers at Turn 18 and is collected by Senna.
Lap 33: Kubica and Barrichello will make a stop. The pack is forming up, meaning they will tumble down the order.
Lap 33: The Sauber and HRT stranded on the racing line exiting Turn 18.
Lap 33: Replays show that Kobayashi appeared to lose his front wing entering the corner and understeered into the barriers.
Lap 33: Alonso leads Vettel as they begin to form up behind the safety car.
Lap 33: Kubica and Barrichello dive into the pits.
Lap 33: Meantime, Glock has been in and out of the pits. Kobayashi and Senna are out of the race and Klien pits this time from 20th.
Lap 33: They make quick stops and luckily resume seventh and eighth, ahead of the midfield train.
Lap 33: Sebastien Buemi has also been into the pits from 14th position.
Lap 33: Webber is now elevated to that third place his strategy has delivered, with Hamilton now fourth and Button fifth.
Lap 34: Hamilton reports that his drinks system is not working properly.
Lap 34: Now that Senna's car has been removed we can see the extensive damage to the right-hand side of Kobayashi's Sauber as it sits alone on the track.
Lap 34: This second safety car intervention suggests the race will be capped at two hours, with the flag just 54 minutes away.
Lap 34: Klien is wheeled back into the HRT garage with problems.
Lap 34: Behind the five championship contenders, Rosberg is sixth, with Kubica seventh, Barrichello eighth, Sutil ninth and Hulkenberg 10th.
Lap 35: Button is told to try and push at the restart, given that Webber is on old tyres and Red Bull's history of brake problems here.
Lap 35: Massa is 11th ahead of Petrov 12th, Alguersuari 13th, Heidfeld 14th and Schumacher in 15th position.
Lap 35: Buemi is 16th as Kovalainen comes into the pits from 17th.
Lap 35: If it stays like this, the points will read: Webber 202; Hamilton 192; Alonso 192; Vettel 181 and Button 173.
Lap 35: The safety car will pit at the end of this lap.
Lap 36: The safety car comes into the pitlane and we are racing once again.
Lap 36: Alonso is away from Vettel as Webber and Hamilton muscle past the pair of Virgins.
Lap 36: Hamilton tries to pass Webber ... they collide.
Lap 36: Hamilton has damage and he is out again!
Lap 37: Webber now has Button on his tail, as McLaren ponder potentially terminal damage to Hamilton's title campaign.
Lap 37: Webber is asking the team to check if he has damage, while the stewards also look into the incident.
Lap 37: Replays show Hamilton was clear past after taking it three wide with the Virgin, but the door was closing and contact was inevitable.
Lap 38: Webber's pace is good and he seems to have survived that contact. He will extend his advantage at the top of the points considerably.
Lap 39: Alonso leads by two seconds from Vettel, with Webber over five seconds further adrift.
Lap 39: Michael Schumacher and Nick Heidfeld collided in a battle over 14th position. Schumacher had to pit through new front wing and Heidfeld is out of the race.
