It will be interesting now to see how the teams will use the super softs as they must be used during the race

I won't be surprised if teams chuck whatever strategy they had beginning the race out the proverbial window, as fast as the super-softs seem to be falling off......

Barrichello closes the gap slightly to Button but 16 seconds will be nearly impossible to make up!

Raikkonen is a further 3.3 seconds behind

Alonso pits.
