Lap 40: Button resumes in clear air ahead of Petrov, with 18 laps still to run.

Lap 40: Button is in for his final pitstop.
Lap 39: Kobayashi pits from 14th and not a moment too soon. Alguersuari takes over that place, with di Resta up to 15th.

Lap 38: Vettel leads by a sizable margin of 25 seconds ahead of his final stop.
Lap 38: Rosberg uses those tyres well and immediately passes Barrichello for seventh.
Lap 37: Rosberg could be the man to watch here as he got hard tyre running out of the way earlier and is now on softs.
Lap 37: Kobayashi's pace has dropped off horribly and he needs to get some fresh tyres. Alguersuari is now all over the back of him.
Lap 37: Hamilton sets the fastest lap of the race as he finds good speed on the hard rubber, but he needs to carry those tyres a long way.
Lap 37: It's close down the pit straight but Alonso is away, ahead of Webber for what they hope is the run to the flag.
Lap 36: Sutil also got his own back on the Japanese driver and retakes track position - Schumacher now 11th, Sutil 12th, Massa 13th and Kobayashi 14th.
Lap 36: Alonso responds to Webber's stop with his own pit visit for hard rubber.
Lap 36: Massa has run wide in Turn 8 on the hefty bed of marbles and is now in a scrap with Kobayashi.
Lap 36: Webber is in for his hard tyre stop this time by.
Lap 36: Hamilton has the hard tyres on his McLaren and could go the distance, but is now behind Button on the road.
Lap 36: Away from the action, Schumacher has surged past both Sutil and Kobayashi to take over 12th place.
Lap 35: Heidfeld moves up to eighth with Rosberg's stop. Buemi is now ninth and Barrichello is 10th.
Lap 35: Hamilton has a terrible stop with a slow right-front wheel nut. He's also stopped from leaving as Massa slices into the Ferrari box.
Lap 35: Button steams past Massa, who then pits.
Lap 35: Hamilton's pace has been better in this stint and he now pits.

Lap 34: Rosberg is in for his third stop and heads out on soft rubber.
Lap 34: Button is still boxed up behind Massa as this pair badly compromise his three-stop plan.

Lap 33: Up front, Alonso is matching Vettel on laptime at this stage but is nine seconds behind the leader.

Lap 33: Rosberg is told he blistered the rear tyres when he was on the softer compound.
Lap 33: Kovalainen pits from 19th in the Lotus - his second stop of the afternoon. Trulli takes over that position.

Lap 31: This traffic is not helping Button's three-stop challenge, with the McLaren now 41 seconds off the lead.
