Replay of the accident shows a failure on the right front that caused Kovalainen to drive straight into the barrier.
Kovalainen is on a stretcher, he has waved to the crowds so he appears to be fine

It appears that Heidfeld will serve a penalty for entering the pit lane while it was closed. He had no choice as he would have run out of fuel.
Race restarting....

Sato who was up in 9th pits. A long stop that should take him to the end of the race.
