The single stoppers are now stopping, Webber, Button, Fisichella. Glock should be pitting shortly from 5th

Glock pits and puts on the softer compound.

He joins in 9th ahead of Heidfeld.

That is a good strategy and it looks like he'll score a few points today as the cars in from have yet to make their final stop
