Lap 38: Lotus and Sauber will be plotting where their one-stop men will be slotting in after a stop, which looks to be behind Massa.
Lap 38: Positions are relatively static behind the top six. The only battle further down the field is between di Resta and Kobayashi for 10th.
Lap 37: Raikkonen is now 12.5 seconds behind the leader and yet to make a first stop, with Perez and Webber on the tail of the Lotus.
Lap 36: Hamilton leads by four seconds from Alonso and Vettel as the race moves into its second half.
Lap 36: Massa remains in ninth and di Resta is 11.2s back from the Ferrari in 10th. Kobayashi is still on di Resta's tail, with Schumacher 12th.
Lap 35: Rosberg is turning up the wick in his Mercedes at the moment, perhaps having met the team's fuel-saving target. 1m17.972s is a new fastest.
Lap 35: So Button is seven places away from the points, and still has 35 laps to go, having just taken on option tyres. He is 10s behind Maldonado.
Lap 34: Perez has a frustrated Webber all over his gearbox, with the Red Bull man heavily delayed by the one-stop duo.
Lap 34: McLaren reacts by bringing Button in. He takes on another set of supersoft tyres and rejoins in 17th.
Lap 34: Button is losing pace and is now turning laps in the 1m20s bracket. He has slipped to 4.4s behind Hulkenberg.
Lap 34: Hamilton makes the fastest lap his target, pulling 3.7 seconds clear of Alonso with a new best of 1m8.083s.
Lap 33: Perez is told "10 more laps" until his stop, which will make it an epic first stint on his starting set of soft compound tyres.
Lap 33: Kobayashi in 11th is on the Scot's tail, with Schumacher right behind them in 12th and Hulkenberg a further 3.1s back in 13th.
Lap 32: Alonso is beginning to match Hamilton after the leader's radio call to run to the agreed plan. McLaren tell him they are sticking to Plan A.
Lap 32: Rosberg is seventh and now 5.8s back from Webber, with Grosjean eighth, Massa ninth and di Resta in 10th.
Lap 31: Raikkonen and Perez surely on course for a one-stop plan now, with the car much kinder on the supersoft with half of the fuel burned up.
Lap 30: Webber takes fastest lap honours now as he finds a 1m18.345s lap in his Red Bull. He is right behind Perez now in sixth.
Lap 30: The Venezuelan takes on a set of supersoft tyres and rejoins the fray in 17th.
Lap 30: Maldonado finally makes his stop from 10th position.
Lap 29: Hamilton continues to edge clear, now 3.4 seconds in the lead, but is told to "run to target in this stint" by the team.
Lap 29: Button was tucked up behind Hulkenberg's Force India in a battle for 14th, but the Briton lost 1.8s on the last lap.
Lap 29: Perez, fifth, has excellent speed on his ageing soft compound tyres, completing the last lap in 1m18.593s - a similar pace to Alonso.

Lap 28: Alonso responds with his personal best but Hamilton is still faster with a new best of 1m18.643s.
Lap 28: Rosberg is seventh in the Mercedes, but now 5.3s back from Webber. Grosjean is on the German's tail in eighth, with Massa ninth.
Lap 27: De la Rosa has been wheeled into the garage with plumes of brake dust coming from the front wheels.
Lap 26: Hamilton bangs in a 1m18.698s fastest lap, pulling 3.1 seconds clear of Alonso and Vettel.
Lap 26: This is a long stop for de la Rosa and it could be game over for the Spaniard.
Lap 26: Raikkonen and Perez both started on the durable soft compound and will be looking to go a bit longer to make a one stop strategy possible.
Lap 26: De la Rosa makes his first stop from 18th place in the HRT.
Lap 25: Glock has also been in for a stop. He rejoins in what is now 23rd and last position.
Lap 25: Raikkonen in fourth and Perez in fifth are still to make a stop.
Lap 25: The Japanese driver rejoins in 11th place.
Lap 25: Kobayashi makes his first stop and may be eying going the distance after a switch to the soft compound.

Lap 24: Senna pits the Williams and rejoins down the list in 21st position.
Lap 24: Karthikeyan has spun at Turn 1. He then slowly made it up to Turn 4 before parking in a difficult position.
Lap 24: Texas IndyCar winner @Justin_Wilson reckons Vettel may face a challenge to win this: "Watching Vettel slide around And seeing how the rear tyres went off in first stint, I think he could be in trouble."
Lap 23: Alonso is now 2.1 seconds behind the leader as the Spaniard comes under increasing pressure from Vettel.
Lap 23: Webber is up to seventh as some of those ahead of him pit, with Rosberg eighth, Grosjean down to ninth after that stop and Maldonado 10th.
