Alonso rejoins just ahead of Hamilton and they go side by side but Alonso stays ahead

Those on the hard tyres are lapping nearly 2 seconds off their pace on the softer tyres

Button leads Barrichello by 12.1 seconds. Webber is just 2.8 seconds behind Barrichello. All three have yet to stop.

Barrichello needs to push now if he is to win the race!

Hamilton pits for the second time. He takes on the hard tyres

Webber could jump Vettel and Massa if he stays long enough! The hard compound is 2 seconds per lap slower

From a master like Brawn, the strategy for Barrichello is very suspicious

So on lap 52, Button leads Barrichello by 8.1 seconds. Webber is in 3rd and catching Barrichello!
Massa, Vettel, Alonso, Heidfeld and Rosberg make the top 8.

Vettel right behind Massa. He has been stuck behind him for the entire race! And now that Webber is ahead, it must have made Vettel really frustrated

Massa with KERS can't get passed on the straight unless he makes a mistake
