Scary incidents at Turn 3 as marshals attempt to pick up debris while cars come through not yet behind the safety car.
Massa is 11th with Buemi 12th, de la Rosa 13th, di Resta 14th, Glock 15th and D'Ambrosio 16th.
Petrov is sixth with Barrichello up to seventh, Alguersuari eighth, Rosberg ninth and Maldonado rounds out the top 10.
As they head round to the safety car, Vettel leads from Schumacher, Webber, Button and Kobayashi.
There is a substantial amount of Renault wing debris on the run to Turn 3.
Webber remains all over the back of Schumacher, while Button is flying up behind them both, lapping 4s faster.
The safety car has been deployed.
Massa in 12th is also running four seconds per lap quicker than those immediately ahead of him.
Heidfeld had run into the back of the Sauber out of Turn 2 as the Renault got a better exit. Its damaged front wing then spectacular folded under the car on the next straight and sent Heidfeld flying off the road.
The Renault goes right down the run-off so no safety car should be required.
Heidfeld slides into Kobayashi at Turn 2, breaks his front wing, then crashes at Turn 3.
But Button is fastest of all, lapping 4s quicker than Vettel.
Webber is already right back on Schumacher's tail.
Barrichello is now eighth with Alguersuari ninth, Rosberg 10th, Maldonado 11th and Massa recovering in 12th.
Button has breezed past Kobayashi into fourth place.
Vettel leads by 10.7s over the Schumacher/Webber battle, with Kobayashi next up ahead of Button, Heidfeld and Petrov.
Webber triggers DRS on the long straight, looks to the inside of Schumacher, but finds it too damp off-line and has to cut the chicane and back off.
Di Resta is in and out of the pits from 15th place.
Massa lost control of the Ferrari on slick tyres and glanced into the Armco barrier. He has resumed after that front wing change.
Webber is right on Schumacher's tail and fighting for what will be second when the pitstops shake out.
Massa comes back in to change his front wing.
Rosberg also changes to dry tyres.
Button is up to ninth and will definitely climb higher with chaos and minor incidents happening all over the place.
Kobayashi and Petrov also come in for slicks.
Massa has picked up front wing damage.
De la Rosa is one of the last to pit for dry tyres. Trulli and D'Ambrosio follow him in.
Vettel pits from the lead.
Webber is lapping nearly 3s quicker than leader Vettel.
Webber sets the fastest lap of the race on his slicks.
Schumacher gets out still ahead of Massa.
Vettel, Kobayashi and Petrov stay out.
Massa in for slicks too, and Heidfeld.
Sutil comes into the pits and the Force India mechanics wheel him back into the garage.
Schumacher pits, surely for slicks.
Button, Alguersuari and Maldonado all come in this time round.
Massa then passed Kobayashi into the hairpin.
Replays show that Kobayashi ran wide, pulled back across to fend Massa off, and then both found Schumacher sweeping past them.
Webber drops down the list outside the top 10 after that stop, but he is managing to keep heat in his dry tyres and is mighty quick.
Vettel's lead is now 11.6s as the battle behind goes crazy.
A massive shuffle for second sees Schumacher go from fourth to second as Kobayashi moves in the opposite direction.
