Barrichello pits and now Michael is pushing. He should have 2 laps before he makes his stop

Michael gets in the lead after nearly colliding with Barrichello!

Lap 53 and Michael leads by 2.3 seconds from Barrichello.

It will be interesting to see if Barrichello will attempt to close in on Michael at this stage.

Barrichello is pushing. He took out a second from Michael's lead!

The gap seems to stabilise around a second

Looks like both Ferraris have been told to cruise to the finish.

They are lapping in the high 1:13's way off the pace!

the race is now over, I just heard the ferrari team orders, they raced until the second stop, whoever led after that wins, hence michaels desperate, that to me is just a further insult to the fans
