Lap 50: Webber is up to 11th and Hulkenberg sensed his opportunity and also got through, knocking the Japanese driver's front wing in the process.
Lap 50: Webber now has a go at Kobayashi and makes it through - but the Australian runs all four wheels just over the white line in doing so.
Lap 49: Button must be hoping that leader Vettel runs out of rubber just before the flag, but the pace is even between the pair for now.
Lap 49: Perez makes a move to the inside of Hulkenberg - the pair make contact and Perez sustains front wing damage. They continue.
Lap 49: McLaren predict 12 laps before the time limit is reached, telling Button he is in a "straight fight" with Vettel.
Lap 49: At the back of the pack there is another close battle. Glock in 15th is just ahead of team-mate Pic, with de la Rosa chasing after both of them to make it a three-car fight.
Lap 48: Kobayashi is 11th, some 2.3s back from Senna, but the action is behind him, with Webber, Hulkenberg and Perez still right there.
