Lap 29: Alonso is in for his switch to hard tyres for the run to the end.

Lap 29: Massa rejoined from his stop in 15th position, just behind Michael Schumacher.
Lap 29: Vettel is just 22.9 seconds off the lead and could move up significantly if he can hold on to those soft tyres to the flag.

Lap 28: Vettel sets the fastest lap as he comes around in seventh.

Lap 27: Vettel is now up to seventh spot with Schumacher eighth, Massa rejoins in ninth and Ricciardo is 10th.
Lap 27: Webber tries DRS on Massa and ends up wide on the run-off. Massa is then tipped into a smoky spin.

Lap 26: Webber has now caught up with Massa in a scrap for sixth.
Lap 26: Vettel has passed Schumacher and Kobayashi pits from eighth position.
Lap 26: Raikkonen asks for his pitboard to show the gap back to Alonso, which is currently a handy 6.7 seconds.
Lap 26: Webber is seventh with Kobayashi eighth, Schumacher ninth and Vettel is 22.4s off the lead in 10th spot.
Lap 26: So the full order is Raikkonen leading by 6.7s over Alonso, Button, Maldonado, Perez in fifth and Massa sixth.
