The track is very dusty and with the lack of traction control it is fun to watch the drivers trying to correct!

It is hard to describe textually!!

Kovalainen is impressive given his accident two weeks ago. So far he seems to be having the measure of Hamilton.

He is now just 0.048 behind Massa

Raikkonen is down in 18th having done just 3 laps. Looks like they have sorted whatever problem he is having and he is getting ready to go back out

Vettel is struggling. He is 20th over 3 seconds off the pace. By contrast Bourdais is 17th and 0.4 quicker. Both have covered 16 laps.

Massa is back on the track. Raikkonen still in the pits!
