Kubica, Alonso, Nakajima and Glock pit

Alonso puts on the harder compound again so he will have to stop again

Raikkonen doesn't pit

Race restarts and Raikkonen makes an overtaking move on Kovalainen but outbrakes him self and goes into the gravel and loses a lot of time.

Meanwhile Massa retires

Meanwhile Barrichello pits and as he exits takes the fuel hose and the refueller with him!

It is strange that Barrichello actually pitted as the pit lane was not open!

Safety car still deployed
