Hamilton's start was very poor, it appeared that the car didn't engage in gear or was just moving very slowly and lost a lot of places at the start.

Timo Glock in 10th is right behind Alonso.

It appears that Alonso's rear wing may have a bit of damage as a result of the hit by Hamilton.

Meanwhile Piquet passes Bourdais for 13th

Kubica is right on the pace of Raikkonen. Still only 1.4 seconds behind. While Heidfeld in 4th is a further 5.8 seconds.

Another fastest lap for Raikkonen with a 1:34.281. He is trying to put the presssure on Massa!
