Montoya is catching Alonso. He is under 4 seconds behind him.

Montoya has yet to stop but it he is likely on a single stop

Barrichello pits!

Another tangle involving Villeneuve. He hits the back of Monteiro as he tries to pass him. Villeneuve loses the front wing and is limping back to the pits!

Monteiro was clearly at fault as he moved across without noticing Villeneuve was there!

Klien is right behind Barrichello.

In both cases the fuel loads are different!

Hard luck for Raikkonen as he clearly dominated the race so far however reliability seems to always be an issue with McLaren
