Lap 22: Massa passes Petrov for sixth place and yet again Vettel follows through shortly afterwards.
Lap 22: Webber takes over the fastest lap, edging 1.3s ahead of Hamilton but he is not breaking away from the McLaren at the moment.
Lap 22: Further down the field, Perez caught that nine second gap to Kovalainen and has gone past the Lotus for 15th place.
Lap 21: Kobayashi comes into the pits at the end of the lap.
Lap 21: Massa is through on Kobayashi and Vettel follows him through immediately. They are now seventh, eighth and ninth.
Lap 21: Button is finally making progress after clearing Petrov, setting his fastest lap and closing on Sutil.
Lap 20: Massa attacks the long-running Kobayashi for seventh at Turn 1, but the Japanese claims the line and maintains position ahead of the Ferrari.
Lap 20: Hamilton sets the fastest lap, closing to 0.8s behind leader Webber.
Lap 20: Massa is now eighth in the pitstop phase with Vettel tight up behind him. Rosberg is 10th with Schumacher 11th.
Lap 19: Some odd drops of rain falling at the moment as the leaders build back up to speed on the second set of tyres.
Lap 19: Problems for Barrichello. He is wheeled into the Williams garage and retirement.
Lap 19: So the order is Webber from Hamilton and Alonso ahead of Sutil, Button, Petrov and Kobayashi, who are yet to stop.
Lap 19: Button has made it past Petrov and takes over what is a current sixth place.
Lap 18: Meanwhile, Alonso is all over Hamilton's gearbox and looking for his favourite move into the first corner.
Lap 18: Barrichello has also been into the pits as light spots of rain begin to come down once again.
Lap 18: Massa pits, handing the lead to Webber.
Lap 18: The undercut pays off for Webber, with McLaren and Ferrari perhaps wrong to not react immediately to the Red Bull stop.
Lap 18: Schumacher rejoined in 12th position after his stop. He is behind a fight between Rosberg and Alguersuari.
Lap 18: Hamilton re-joins just behind Webber, with Alonso following right on his tail.
Lap 18: Massa takes over the lead but Webber fighting behind him is now the effective leader.
Lap 17: Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel all pit.
Lap 17: Maldonado has been into the pits from 12th. He is likely to drop into the space between Kovalainen and Perez.
Lap 17: McLaren are in the pitlane to react to Webber's speed.
Lap 17: Webber has now cleared Sutil and is now the fastest man through the first and second sectors.
Lap 17: Schumacher is the next man to pit, visiting the Mercedes crew for fresh rubber.
Lap 17: Button now attacks Petrov for ninth round the outside of the NGK chicane. The Russian places his Renault perfectly and maintains position.
Lap 16: Thanks to the traffic, Hamilton and Alonso ignore Webber's stop and continue into another lap.
Lap 16: Perez is now 11.3s behind Kovalainen in 16th. Meantime, the Lotus driver posts his quickest lap of the race so far.
Lap 16: Webber has resumed behind Sutil, which may dent his chances of progress on the fresh tyres.
Lap 16: Perez has overtaken Timo Glock for 17th position, as he recovers from that off-track moment and an early pit visit.
Lap 16: Rosberg has also made his first stop, and this will surely force Hamilton and Alonso in the pits.
Lap 15: Webber is in for fresh rubber in an attempt to undercut Hamilton and Alonso.
Lap 15: Red Bull are out in the pitlane for Webber.
Lap 15: The battle for ninth continues between Petrov and Button. Kobayashi has dropped off a little and is 2.4s behind them.
Lap 15: Hamilton is enjoying this break from Webber's pressure as Alonso harries the Red Bull around the circuit.
Lap 14: Webber is now coming under attack from Alonso and just manages to hold off the Ferrari into the first corner.
Lap 14: Hamilton asks the team to stop talking to him while racing, as he resumes his place at the top of the order.
Lap 14: D'Ambrosio now runs 21st with Buemi 22nd and Chandhok 23rd after that stop.
Lap 14: With that incident di Resta is now up to 15th with Kovalainen 16th, Glock 17th, Liuzzi 18th, Perez 19th and Ricciardo in 20th place.
Lap 14: Incredible racing for the lead there, with Hamilton, Webber and Alonso now right together on the circuit.
