Button's lead on lap 32 is 13.9 seconds. If Button and Trulli are on similar strategies, this will be Button's race assuming no problems

Raikkonen now right up with Glock

Assumptions are Button will go to the prime tires, while Trulli will go to the option tires

Nice over-and-under display of driving from Barrichello and Trulli just then; Barrichello got by in turn 1, only to have Trulli return the favor at the next corner

Trulli rejoins ahead of Barrichello.

Barrichello takes Trulli but goes wide!

Vettel continues to lead over Button; Vettel has got to put the hammer down now as he doesn't have quite enough of a gap to get in and get back out ahead of Button
