It's Alonso's turn to complain about Vettel over the radio - he thinks the German's taking liberties with track limits.
After Kvyat's second stop, he got out ahead of one-stopping team-mate Vergne. They run ninth and 10th.
"How can I race?" complains Sutil to Sauber as he grapples with the brake issues.
Hamilton's 41-second lead still well in tact. Bottas isn't letting it get any bigger but he's not a victory threat unless the Mercedes suffers technical grief.
Mega drive from the Finn nonetheless.

Sutil is complaining of more problems with the Sauber's brakes. He's been passed by Perez for 11th.

Red Bull isn't too fussed by Vettel's complaints: "You've got plenty of laps, just do it again."

"He can't do that - I would've crashed into him," Vettel complains over the radio.
Vettel makes the move around the outside at Brooklands but Alonso muscles back through immediately.
Vettel is now all over the back of Alonso...
Chilton and Marussia have been talking about his chances of catching Kobayashi for 16th. The gap is 1m05.6s, but Chilton just lapped 3s faster...
Button's edging clear of that scrap behind him and keeping around 10s away from Ricciardo. If the McLaren is one-stopping, it's looking good for fourth (at least) at this stage.
Force India urged Perez to pass Sutil quickly. Perez makes a "he's all over the track limits, he should get a penalty" radio call.
Kvyat makes his second and final pitstop.
Vettel isn't being dropped by Alonso. Now his tyres are up to temperature, he's right back on the Ferrari.
Outside the top 10, Perez has caught Sutil for 11th. If he can clear the Sauber, Vergne is 9.4s ahead.
Now we'll see if Alonso can chase down Button for fourth.
Magnussen had been hoping to benefit from all the open doors Alonso had been leaving, but instead he just got to watch an amazing overtaking move.
Ricciardo is running third now, 7.6s behind Bottas and 10.2s clear of Button.
The Aussie needs to edge further clear of the Briton to make his two-stop strategy work.

Alonso eventually makes it around the outside of Vettel at Copse. Another astonishing move from the Ferrari.
Vettel rejoins ahead of Alonso, who is trying a lot of ideas to pass the Red Bull.
Hulkenberg is also under a little pressure from behind, with fellow one-stopper Vergne 2.3s back and lapping slightly quicker.
Vettel pits immediately.
Bottas is tucked right underneath Vettel...and drives past him on the Hangar Straight.
P2 for Bottas. Who needs a one-stop strategy?

Hulkenberg is told that with 20 laps left his tyres are fine to push to the end. He's down to ninth, 16.3s behind Kvyat, who has a stop to go.
In the aftermath of Rosberg's woes, Hamilton was urged to look after the car.
With a 42-second lead over Vettel, that's probably sensible.

Button has a small margin over Alonso and Magnussen for fifth, with that battle getting a bit closer with every lap.
Of that top 10, looks like one-stop strategies for Bottas, Button and Hulkenberg.
At best, that could net them second, fourth and eighth respectively.
At best, that could net them second, fourth and eighth respectively.
With Rosberg out and a few different strategies being employed, the top 10 is a bit jumbled.
As it stands though:
1 Hamilton
2 Vettel
3 Bottas
4 Ricciardo
5 Button
6 Alonso
7 Magnussen
8 Kvyat
9 Hulkenberg
10 Vergne

Bottas finally stops from second.
Grosjean had moved up to 10th as others pitted, now he makes his stop.
That is the first DNF of the season for the man who held a 29-point lead heading into the weekend.
Hamilton can cut that to four here...

Rosberg's not turned the car off - he's still flicking furiously at the paddles...
And now he switches it off. The marshals are rocking the car...
The championship leader is out!

Bianchi is also pitting and is still in a bit of a battle with Maldonado.
Hulkenberg makes what will be his only planned stop from eighth place.
Yellow flag
Yellow flags as Rosberg stops!
Rosberg was lapping a Marussia at Village and realised he couldn't downshift from fifth. He's toured right the way down to Becketts and gone off track. He's pleading with Mercedes for advice. The team is doing its best...
Button stops from fourth.
Rosberg has "a problem on the upshift" and it looks like he's stuck in fifth gear.
Rosberg is slowing!
Hamilton is less than 2s behind Rosberg now!
