23 laps remaining
Reason I mention it is that one of the Speed announcers(Varsha, I think....) mentioned that he thought Bourdais was running inters, based on the fact that he's running about as fast as the leaders....you're right; it would be a roll of the dice, but from that far back, what do they have to lose?

Quoting the F1 commentary............
Kubica running with a wonky-looking wing--his second nose of the race, of course.

Webber and Vettel trading fastest laps. Great stuff!

Bourdais in the meantime has another spin!

Alonso chasing Kovalainen spins, he recovers but loses a number of places. He is down in 13th now!

Parts of the track now showing dry lines......could someone gamble enough to go to either inters or, if they're really brave, drys?
