Lap 52: Massa remains in a very safe sixth for the moment with Rosberg seventh after that stop. Rosberg four seconds slower than leader Button on the last lap.
Lap 51: Webber is pitting again to discard his intermediates.
Lap 51: Hamilton is now under investigation for his spin-turn recovery into traffic at Turn 7.
Lap 51: Rosberg is now quicker than leader Button in the first sector but he is losing some two seconds in sector two. So difficult for the teams to judge this.
Lap 51: However, the rain does appear to have eased in the last minute or two.
Lap 51: Hamilton had little choice there after needing another pitstop anyway.
Lap 51: That puts Button into the lead and he will be hoping to stay out on the slick rubber.
Lap 50: Rosberg on intermediate tyres is no quicker than Button in any sector on the last lap.
Lap 50: Intermediates go on Hamilton's car along with a big turn of front wing.
Lap 50: Hamilton pits as Button continues.
Lap 50: Vettel's pace is abysmal in these conditions, falling behind the McLarens by seconds per sector.
Lap 50: Sutil comes in from 14th to take inters and he is followed in by Maldonado.
Lap 50: McLaren are surely to be in next lap as the conditions get ever worse.
Lap 50: Hamilton barges past his team-mate again as Webber pits for intermediate rubber.
Lap 50: More pitstops now for tyres: Petrov, Barrichello and Kovalainen are in for intermediate tyres.
Lap 49: Button DRS moves into the lead as they fight for the right to be first into the pits.
Lap 49: Vettel has spun again in the final corners as the McLaren pair continue to race.
Lap 49: Rosberg pits from seventh and you have to wonder if Mercedes will risk intermediate tyres.
Lap 49: Replays show Button was wide at Turn 2, with Hamilton taking the lead from there.
Lap 49: Hamilton has pulled into the lead in these conditions and surely they will be boxing for intermediates very soon.
Lap 49: Kobayashi is past Petrov and into eighth. The Russian is now ninth with Alguersuari 10th and di Resta 11th.
Lap 49: Vettel has been off the road and surely we are heading towards intermediate rubber.
Lap 49: Hamilton is right with Button as the pace falls off dramatically in the continuing shower.
Lap 49: Meteo France tells the teams that this light rain could last 15 minutes.
Lap 49: Massa is back up to sixth place, having passed Rosberg.
Lap 49: Hamilton is closing on Button in the increasingly greasy conditions, perhaps aided by the softer rubber on his car.
Lap 49: Di Resta recovers very well and comes back past Buemi again for 12th as the fight between the pair continues.
Lap 49: The rain continues to fall and Hamilton will be hoping everyone is forced in for intermediates.
Lap 48: Alguersuari has pitted from eighth and falls outside the top 10.
Lap 48: Hamilton also owes a pitstop against these rivals, so this could be a costly demotion for the former leader.
Lap 48: Buemi is through, past di Resta and up into 12th place.
Lap 48: Button leads by 1.4 seconds from team-mate Hamilton, chased by Vettel and Webber.
Lap 48: Di Resta lost a lot of time avoiding Hamilton's spin. He remains in 12th but has Buemi on his tail now.

Lap 47: Replays show Hamilton's mistake with a spin at the Turn 6/7 chicane.
Lap 47: Alonso has taken this opportunity to switch to the harder slicks.
Lap 47: No knee-jerk reactions yet from the drivers as this shower passes over the circuit.
Lap 47: The McLarens continue as Alonso dives in for a change of tyres.
Lap 47: The rain is coming down more and more as Button surges past his team-mate.
Lap 46: Hamitlon has been off the road!
