Hamilton's team radios him, telling him that "it is still raining and that they expect it to continue for the next 30 minutes......." :shock: :shock:

Don't know if it will be easy to overtake when the safety car is removed. But at least he is in front of the cars that pit.

Don't know if it was a bit too early for Alonso. There may be quite a few more laps behind safety car.

It didn't look like he put in a lot of fuel though.
