Raikkonen and Alonso keep their positions as they have a big enough margin ahead of 3rd place Trulli.

So on lap 57 after all the scheduled stops have been completed, Raikkonen leads by 24 seconds from Alonso with Trulli in 3rd 23 seconds behind the Spaniard.

Ralf Schumacher is 4th under a second behind Trulli with Webber, Fisichella, Montoya and Coulthard making the top 8.

Barrichello is in 9th a lap down. He seems to be on a single stopper!

Raikkonen laps his team-mate Montoya!

The Toyotas continue to push. Interesting that they are racing this late in the race!
