Webber holding up Hamilton and Heidfeld is playing into the hands of Alonso. He is slowly catching them and is expected to be the last of the front runners to stop!

Raikkonen has to put the softer compound on.

Kubica leads but has yet to stop

The rest are expected to pit anytime now. The order of their pits will be crucial to the outcome of the race!
