Michael Schumacher pits! A short stop and he will likely stop again!

Massive spin by Webber as he lost part of his left rear tyre. He manages to get back to the pits!

Webber returns to the pit with a puncture to the same tyre. It looks like a retirement!

At the front Alonso still leads just ahead of Michael. Alonso is now set to make just 1 more stop and Michael is likely to make another one too.

Alonso pits with a reasonably long stop and it should take him to the finish.

So Michael leads Massa by 13.6 seconds with Alonso a further 10.6 seconds behind. Fisichella is in 4th but has yet to make a stop.

Michael Schumacher is pushing as he wants to have a comfortable gap to Alonso before making his final stop. He sets the fastest lap so far with a 1:17.111.

Ralf Schumacher makes his second pit stop.

Michael looks set to retain the lead after his 3rd stop but the question is whether Massa can retain second. He is 10.3 seconds ahead of Alonso.
