Replays show Monteiro tangling with Albers causing him to make that pit stop on the first lap.

The top 4 are separated by just 3 seconds. What fuel loads are they carrying though!

Looks like Alonso is now trying to pull away. He sets another fastest lap but Raikkonen isn't much slower. Both drop Webber who is now nearly 5 seconds behind the leader!

Lap 12 and Alonso and Raikkonen lap Monteiro.

Massa is still stuck behind Albers. He could be very heavy though!

Barrichello is in effect helping the 4 ahead of him. His is now 26 seconds behind Alonso! Soon they could pit and emerge in front of him!
