So Massa leads Hamilton on lap 22. The gap is just 0.8 seconds.

Raikkonen is 3rd and 7.7 seconds behind with Kubica a further 3 seconds behind.

Order on Lap 27: Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen, Kubica, Heidfeld, Alonso, Webber and Button (yet to stop)
Retirements: Fisichella, Nakajima, Bourdais

Kovalainen is back in 15th but is expected to make it to the end without any more stops

Interesting radio message to Kubica.

"No radio car to pit - we are racing Hamilton!" So they also believe Hamilton is on a short stint
