Lap 65: Gutierrez pits from 16th place.
Lap 65: That looked like minor front wing damage to Hamilton but both continue the battle over second place.

Lap 64: Webber is clocked 8.3 seconds behind Hamilton, who hasn't given up on second place yet...

Lap 63: Delight in the Ferrari garage though and both cars seem to be intact from that battle over second place.
Lap 63: Great stuff from Alonso again this afternoon, but he will have to hope he survives that minor contact with Hamilton there.
Lap 63: Sutil comes in and serves that drive-through penalty. He loses 14.4 seconds in the process and drops down to 10th.

Lap 59: Sutil drives past further blue flags as Hamilton finally gets past and holds off Alonso for the moment.
Lap 59: That's put Alonso right with Hamilton and the Ferrari man surely fancies his chances on DRS.
Lap 59: The Frenchman takes on super-soft tyres and he maintains track position over di Resta. They continue in sixth and seventh.
Lap 59: Alonso now just a second behind Hamilton on the road as the Mercedes attempts to pass Sutil's dented Force India.
Lap 58: Vergne pits from sixth spot in the Toro Rosso.
Lap 58: But there's tyre woe in the other Mercedes as Rosberg makes that extra stop for a final set of rubber.
