Raikkonen in 9th is right behind Webber but overtaking on this track is very difficult

Button's stop is quicker but it looked like they had a problem with the right rear tyre.

Looks like Barrichello had a refuelling problem!

Michael now leads Massa by 10 seconds and Alonso has caught up with Massa!

Is Massa being used to slow Alonso ? And when will the Ferraris stop ?
