Yes, 19.8 in front of Hamilton!
Inter's now faster than dry tyres.

When Button pits he'll come out on cold inter's just ahead of Lewis on warm tyres.

Why are all the lower teams letting the traditional front runners through as if they were a lap down?

No point fighting too hard, finishing is more important.

I get the feeling that they don't want to be remembered as the guy who decided the 2012 championship for all the wrong reasons.

Maybe as they don't want to chance damage and at this rate if all the usual leaders get taken out, the also rans may win!

Make the tyres last Hamilton - They are already finished! Not a good sign!

Now Force India is leading - What is going on here!

Lucky I have the Live Timing screen up or I wouldn't have clue what is going on!

Bit weak, though.

There is fighting hard and then there is completely moving out of the way.

Not sure why the Red Bull mechanics clapped Vettel overtaking someone getting completely out of the way.

It's still in the bag for Vettel as long as he doesn't go off as Alonso hasn't been able to capitalise on Vettel's mishap at the start.

Bollocks, there goes the advantage of the two brave guys in the lead.

Alonso's good at calling for a safety-car when he knows it'll help him.

Still, it'll help Hamilton catch Button too.

Yep. Hulkenburg and Button made the right call, drove brilliantly and it is all gone now. I doubt Hulkenburg will have a shot at winning now

Oooh, just occured to me....

Hamilton's started on the options and fitted the primes so he can, possibly, run to the end now without changing tyres whereas there's no way Button and Hulkenberg can do that.

IF Hamilton can make his tyres last, of course.

I don't dislike Vettel and no doubt he's a great driver, but (as with Schumacher in his first career) he gets so much luck it's ridiculous.

They matter when they wear out.
