Lap 31: Hulkenberg steams away at the end of the first resumed racing lap but only just survives a lock-up at the first corner.
Lap 30: Webber has dropped down the order to a lowly 14th position. He has work to do if Red Bull wants him up there to help his team-mate.
Lap 30: Alonso, fourth, is now under pressure from Kobayashi who was the man on the move at the restart.
Lap 30: Three-wide at the Senna S and Webber tries a move round the outside on Vettel and Kobayashi. It doesn't work and he slides wide.
Lap 30: Hulkenberg slides through the Senna S but holds the lead from Button and Hamilton.
Lap 30: The safety car comes into the pitlane and we are racing once again.
Lap 29: DRS is disabled as they race around to the green flag.
Lap 29: The safety car is in at the end of the lap.
Lap 29: Hulkenberg leads as we prepare for the restart, but the McLaren pair will be keen to race the Force India.
Lap 28: Drops of moisture still falling over the circuit. Meteo France expects next light shower in 15 minutes.
Lap 28: Alonso reports further rain at the far end of the circuit.
Lap 28: Still a long way to go in a breathless title decider at Interlagos.
Lap 27: Glock, Vergne, Petrov, Schumacher, Kovalainen, Pic, de la Rosa, Karthikeyan and Rosberg - all one lap down - make their way through.
Lap 26: Lapped cars can now pass the safety car.
Lap 26: All the cars are on dry rubber now, with a dry line evident all around the circuit.
Lap 26: Rosberg is the last runner in 20th position. With an order like that, the chaos is sure to continue once we get underway again.
Lap 26: Kobayashi, a strong sixth for Sauber at the moment, is edging closer to the points needed to take fifth from Mercedes in the constructors'.
Lap 25: Vergne is 13th in the Toro Rosso, followed by Petrov 14th, Schumacher 15th, Kovalainen 16th, Pic 17th, de la Rosa 18th and Karthikeyan 19th.
Lap 25: Kobayashi is sixth with Webber seventh, di Resta eighth, Ricciardo ninth, Raikkonen 10th, Massa 11th and Glock in 12th spot.
Lap 25: So Hulkenberg leads the pack behind the safety car with Button second, Hamilton third, Alonso fourth and Vettel fifth.
Lap 25: Vettel, who is in title-winning position at the moment, must be worried about the big dent in the rear of his Red Bull.
Lap 24: Schumacher had made his way through Kovalainen, Pic and de la Rosa, following their stops. The German is currently shown in 15th place.
Lap 24: Alonso will come around in fourth place, with Vettel and Kobayashi behind the Ferrari.
Lap 24: Tyre changes for Hulkenberg and Button as they resume still ahead of Hamilton on the road.
Lap 24: So many skirmishes in the race so far on the greasy surface. After Rosberg's puncture it makes sense to send the safety car out.
Lap 23: Lead duo Hulkenberg and Button will surely pit now for fresh tyres.
Lap 23: Alonso's wish is granted as the big Mercedes is deployed to allow a track clean-up.
Lap 23: Behind the championship battle, Kobayashi is back to sixth with Webber seventh, di Resta eighth, Ricciardo ninth and Raikkonen up to 10th.
Lap 23: The safety car has been deployed.
Lap 22: Alonso complains of debris on the circuit, with a safety car intervention something that would certainly help the Spaniard.
Lap 22: Hulkenberg sets the fastest lap as the Sauber-bound German continues to lead strongly for Force India.
Lap 22: Pic and Karthikeyan come in for a change of tyres. Rosberg also makes it back after touring round the rest of the lap.
Lap 22: Vergne pits from 10th position in the Toro Rosso. His team-mate Ricciardo is up in ninth.
Lap 21: Alonso is fourth again, almost 20s off the podium he needs, with Vettel chasing close behind.
Lap 21: Nico Rosberg has a right rear puncture and he is touring back to the pits.
Lap 21: Hulkenberg is clocked 0.8 seconds ahead of Button with Hamilton now a massive 45.5 seconds back in third.
Lap 21: De la Rosa also pits the HRT as this races refuses to settle down. It has been rip-roaring action from the moment the lights went out.
Lap 20: Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Massa and Glock all come in behind the leaders this time round.
Lap 20: Vettel resumes right behind Alonso on the road.
Lap 20: Webber is also in from fifth for a rapid change of rubber at Red Bull.
