Lap 52: Webber has the DRS advantage this time and is close to the Ferrari into the braking zone ... Alonso fights back, but he can't stop him ...
Lap 52: Massa is just 0.2s behind the Mercedes as they cross the line. The Brazilian will surely have a go at his former team-mate on this lap.

Lap 51: Sutil is 15th and on the tail of Barrichello. Perez is 3.5s behind them in 16th, and Maldonado in 17th is now edging away again from Kovalainen.
Lap 51: Hamilton makes an easy move on Button and is up to fourth, dropping the three-stopping Button to fifth.
Lap 50: Hamilton is surely going to get past his team-mate soon, but is given the usual cautionary messages from the pitwall.

Lap 48: Alonso is 6.2 seconds off the lead in second, chased by Webber - 1.7 seconds behind and catching the Ferrari.
Lap 48: Vettel leads into lap 49 after completing his fourth, and final, stop.
Lap 48: Replays show a very slow stop for Massa as the rear wheels were spinning, making it very difficult to get the new tyres on.

Lap 47: Leader Vettel decides not to gamble and comes in for a fresh set of rubber and a fourth stop.
Lap 47: Hamilton pits and resumes behind team-mate Button, but he has a significant advantage of fresh rubber.
Lap 47: Schumacher pits from 11th place in the Mercedes and Maldonado is in to answer his drive-through penalty. Lotus will be delighted with this.

Lap 46: Alonso clears traffic in the form of d'Ambrosio's Virgin and heads in for a fourth stop.
Lap 46: Di Resta rejoins after his stop but the car falters and he rolls to a halt at the side of the road. Di Resta is out of the race.
Lap 46: It wasn't a great stop for Red Bull, which Alonso will surely respond to.
Lap 45: Di Resta pits from 14th position and the young Scot won;t manage to get the car home in the points today, after a very tight race in the midfield.

Lap 45: Maldonado has been given a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pitlane.
Lap 45: Buemi is doing well on his fresh tyres. He has closed the gap down to just 0.9s behind Schumacher. This will be a battle for 10th.
Lap 44: Car 12 (Maldonado) is now being investigated by the stewards for a possible pitlane speeding offence.
Lap 44: Maldonado pitted for a third time, and has rejoined still in 18th, but just 5.6s ahead of Kovalainen in the Lotus T128.
Lap 43: Perez pits from 13th place and he can go to the end, but has no chance of scoring points this afternoon.

Lap 41: Barrichello pits from 11th and Sutil is in from 13th place on this lap.
Lap 41: Buemi pits now from that fifth place, but the tactic of staying out longer won't help the aim of getting into the points.
