Sato has a big off, does a 360 on the gravel and gets back on the track!

Fisichella pits as expected!

Just over 10 minutes remianing and only 9 drivers have set lap times!

Order: Kubica, Davidson, Jani, Sutil, Doornbos, Wurz, Montagny, Sato and Yamamoto.

Wurz seems to have a problem. He's done just 7 laps

de la Rosa on the track! He replaces Montoya at McLaren.

Montoya left Formula 1 after deciding to move to NASCAR in 2007. It was a sudden departure. He will be missed!
