Barrichello is dropping back and is now 10.8 seconds behind Button. You really wonder why only Barrichello has gone for a 3-stopper!!
Was this to get Button ahead ?

Retirements: Raikkonen, Kovalainen,Trulli, Buemi, Bourdais and Sutil

Massa and Vettel pit together

And they rejoin in the same order. Both on the harder compound

This will be a relief for Button as his stop will be shorter
