Lap 40: Vettel obviously needs to push at this stage but his tyres are quite old.
Lap 40: Everyone from Heidfeld in 10th is one lap down. The German has Buemi and Barrichello tight up behind him.

Lap 38: That reactionary stop from Alonso could prove to be the winning move if the Spaniard can go the distance on the tyres he fitted.
Lap 38: Down the order, Alguersuari did gain track position over Trulli in that battle. Let's see if the Lotus driver can hang on to the Spaniard.

Lap 36: Sutil is now fourth on the road, followed by Kobayashi. After that it is Webber and Hamilton.
Lap 36: Massa was wide and drifted out towards the wall, damaging the left front corner of the car. He drove slowly to the chicane and parked.
Lap 36: Vettel leads behind the safety car from Button and Alonso. There are several lapped cars in between the leaders.
Lap 36: Hamilton then tried again and pulled off an unbelievable move up the inside as they went through the tunnel.
Lap 35: Further replays show what happened between Hamilton and Massa. They battled at the hairpin, made contact but Massa held track position.
Lap 35: Replays show that Schumacher just lost drive coming out of La Rascasse. He is out of the race.

Lap 33: Just ahead of this train is Barrichello, who is fourth but a massive 50 seconds behind the leader. Kobayashi is fifth with Sutil sixth and Heidfeld seventh.
Lap 33: Remarkably, Button is quickly closing on his team-mate to lap him as Hamilton is slowed by this train behind Buemi.

Lap 32: Button has picked up his speed again as he pulls back to over 14 seconds clear of Vettel.
Lap 31: Schumacher sends a move up the inside of Rosberg at the hairpin and makes it through to 14th. Petrov is next man up the road in 13th, some five seconds away.
Lap 30: Kobayashi, Sutil, Heidfeld and Buemi are all looking at a one-stop plan and are yet to visit the pits.
Lap 30: Maldonado has rejoined in 12th place so that is track position gained for Hamilton in the stops.
