Lap 48: Senna almost outbraked himself entering Turn 1 but it worked out fine in the end. Buemi drops to 10th, with Maldonado some 12 seconds back in 11th.
Lap 48: Senna has another go at Buemi as they enter Turn 1 and this time he makes the move stick. Senna takes ninth and has 4.3s to make up to di Resta.
Lap 48: Hamilton is clocked 4.9 seconds behind Alonso and doesn't appear to have the pace to close down the Ferrari in the remaining laps.
Lap 47: Senna is almost touching the gearbox of Buemi's STR6 as this battle continues for ninth position. Di Resta is six seconds up the road in eighth.
Lap 46: Buemi holds onto ninth as Perez walks back through the paddock following his exit earlier at the Curva Grande.

Lap 45: Hamilton continues to close on Alonso, with the gap now down to 5.4 seconds.
Lap 45: Buemi and Senna lap Glock's Virgin and the Brazilian is right there now. Buemi holds him off entering the Roggia chicane.

Lap 44: Hamilton again sets the fastest lap as he closes to 6.3 seconds behind Alonso.
Lap 44: Di Resta crosses the line 8.2s behind Alguersuari, as they continue to run in seventh and eighth. Buemi is a further 2.9s back in ninth.
Lap 44: That last change of tyres for Massa puts him down to sixth on the road after a relatively dull afternoon from the Brazilian.
Lap 43: Di Resta is the beneficiary and he climbs to eighth as Alguersuari maintains position after that stop.
Lap 43: Alguersuari pits from seventh place. He should ultimately retain that as his team-mate and Senna pitted one lap ago.

Lap 41: Hamilton's progress towards the back of Alonso has faded, with the McLaren man on course for a frustrated fourth at this stage.
Lap 40: Vettel meanwhile is long gone out front with a huge 15.7 second margin to take into the final stages.
Lap 40: Kovalainen is back ahead of Glock after that stop and runs in 13th place - it's just three off the points, but 60 seconds away.
Lap 40: Alonso is definitely on a better pace now as he closes on Button to resume a battle for second place.
Lap 40: Maldonado pits for the final time from 10th place. Di Resta goes through and retakes the final points position for the moment.

Lap 39: Massa is fourth at the moment but yet to make his final stop.
Lap 39: Hamilton is the man to watch at the moment as he remains clear of the resuming Schumacher and is off in chase of Alonso.

Lap 38: Schumacher pits his Mercedes for the final time.
Lap 38: He hands that position to Barrichello and will come out very close to Glock.
Lap 37: Kovalainen comes into the pits for the second time from 12th.

Lap 37: Barrichello is 13th. He is 9.4s down on Kovalainen but closing in at one second per lap.
Lap 37: Button tries the inside line at Curve Grande and temporarily at least has second into the Roggia chicane.
Lap 37: Outside the top 10, di Resta is 11th with Kovalainen a fine 12th. The Finn is still a long way from points, but there are still more than 15 laps to go.
Lap 36: Vettel meanwhile pits from the lead and easily resumes there after a rapid stop by Red Bull.
