Lap 29: Petrov is now fifth having stopped early, with Hamilton, for this stint. Massa and Button are chasing him on the road.
Lap 29: Karthikeyan pits from 22nd position in the HRT. He was 22 seconds behind Jerome d'Ambrosio.
Lap 29: Alonso is advised that Webber has been told to push to build a gap from the Ferrari, which is chasing the Red Bull hard at the moment.
Lap 29: Barrichello is 13th, followed by Sutil 14th, Kobayashi 15th, di Resta 16th, Perez 17th and Kovalainen 18th, 2.2s ahead of Maldonado.
Lap 28: Hamilton is a further 16.9 seconds behind in fourth and likely to be threatened by his team-mate's three-stop plan.
Lap 28: Behind the top eight drivers, Heidfeld is ninth with Schumacher 3.6s back in 10th. Buemi is 11th with team-mate Alguersuari 12th, but the Spaniard has only stopped once so far.
Lap 28: Up front, Vettel leads by 8.5 seconds over Webber and Alonso.
Lap 27: Button resumes behind a hefty train of cars, but he is now ahead of Rosberg on the road.
Lap 27: McLaren is in the pitlane for Button's second stop.
Lap 26: Vettel's new soft tyres look fresh - those he saved during qualifying yesterday, which should help with both pace and durability.
Lap 26: Maldonado pits from 17th and Trulli is in for the second time from 19th position.
Lap 26: In fact, Toro Rosso did it again and got Buemi out well in front of Kobayashi. The gap between them is now eight seconds, so you would suspect a problem in the pitstop phase for the Japanese driver.
Lap 26: Alonso sets the fastest lap as the Ferrari man demonstrates his strong race pace this afternoon. He's chasing Webber in third.
Lap 25: Vettel is in this time and away on soft tyres.
Lap 25: Di Resta also pits this time round and will hope to stay close to team-mate Sutil when the stops shake out, as Schumacher posts his best lap so far in 13th.
Lap 25: Vettel's pace is strong at this stage and looks to be on course for a three-stop strategy. Both he and Button are yet to make a 2nd stop.
Lap 25: Barrichello comes in from what was sixth place in the Williams.
Lap 25: Barrichello is now up to seventh place prior to his second stop. Sutil,is eighth and Petrov now runs in ninth.
Lap 25: Alonso is back out on the road behind Webber, with the latter's earlier stop paying off - for now.
Lap 24: Kobayashi pitted recently and now Buemi is in. You would think that the Sauber team will get the advantage here.
Lap 24: Massa pits to replace his locked-up front tyres, with Ferrari making a rapid turn-around after Alonso's stop.
Lap 24: Button is the next man on the DRS at Turn 12 and he is through as Massa locks up and runs wide.
Lap 24: Vettel continues, while Alonso is in the pits this time.
Lap 23: Heidfeld pits for the second time from seventh place, as we see Kobayashi has got the job done on Buemi to take over eighth.
Lap 23: Vettel now has an 8.5 second lead over Alonso after Webber's stop.
Lap 23: Schumacher has also passed Maldonado and the Williams driver loses two places in two laps. Schumacher runs in 15th now.

Lap 23: Alguersuari has passed Maldonado for 16th position.
Lap 22: Webber, meanwhile, has been in for his next stop - early to try and defend from Alonso.
Lap 22: Heidfeld is now up to seventh with the stops now in progress. Buemi is eighth and holding off a fierce attack from Kobayashi.
Lap 22: Button makes it stick with a bold pass around the outside of Rosberg.
Lap 22: Massa gets DRS this time at Turn 12 and is through, with Button trying to take advantage ...
Lap 22: Petrov actually rejoined ahead of Maldonado so runs in 14th place as the second round of stops begin slowly.
Lap 21: Button is now right with the scrap between Massa and Rosberg.
Lap 21: Kamui Kobayashi is consistently closing down on ninth placed Buemi ahead of him. The gap between them is just 0.3s.
Lap 21: Hamilton pits again having clearly spent the best of his tyres.
Lap 21: Rosberg fights back and takes the position back at Turn 12.
Lap 21: Massa doesn't need DRS as he sends the Ferrari down the inside at Turn 9.
Lap 20: Petrov is down and away. He should feed back in, in around 15th place.
Lap 20: Massa continues his battle against Rosberg but has yet to pull off the popular DRS pass on the Mercedes.
