39/55
Webber has just backed off a touch from Hamilton's rear wing, while Button has maintained a two-second deficit to the Australian.
39/55
Hamilton asking for more front wing, but his engineer assures him that it's already at its maximum.
38/55
Top 10 (all drivers two stops): Vettel, Hamilton, Webber, Button, Alonso, Massa, Rosberg, Alguersuari, Di Resta, Buemi
38/55
Alonso has done it! He did a great job in those last couple of laps, and Massa will be disheartened by that.
37/55
The tyres are being prepared for Alonso to come in. He's put in some blistering laps - can he jump ahead of Massa?
37/55
No joy for Webber - he cannot find a way past Hamilton. But the longer these two tussle the more comfortable Vettel gets at the head of the field.
37/55

Another fastest lap from Alonso, bettered by Vettel straight after with a 1:40.974!
36/55
Alonso pushing to extend his advantage in clear air. Vettel has stopped, so for the moment the Ferrari leads thre race.
35/55
Massa, having stopped, is behind Buemi and Sutil in 9th place - that's a frustrating place for the Brazilian to be.
35/55
Button has closed the gap on these two after his pit stop - just 1.7 seconds behind.
34/55
Hamilton is still having a torrid time holding off Webber! Some ferocious side-to-side driving between the two!
34/55
Both drivers come out on prime tyres - and Hamilton holds on to his place ahead of the Australian! They rejoin in 6th and 7th.
33/55
Webber and Hamilton both come into the pits!
33/55
Hamilton's tyres appear to have gone off the boil - Webber putting him under real pressure.
32/55
Retirement - Maldonado's come into the pits to end his race.
31/55
Vettel set a 1:42.2 on the last lap - that explains why Hamilton struggled to keep pace.
31/55
Hamilton's just lost contact with Vettel here - 1.7 seconds the distance. Webber just half a second behind the McLaren.
30/55
Schumacher admits he's had a few scraps with Petrov this year. "The first one or two were perhaps on my account, but this one is on his."
30/55
Top ten: Vettel, Hamilton, Webber, Button, Massa, Alonso, Alguersuari, Sutil, Di Resta, Buemi
29/55
Webber holding on comfortably to the duo in front. Button losing time in fourth - in no man's land behind Webber and ahead of Massa.
28/55
Rosberg opts for the pits here - without the advantage of the track position to hold on to.
