Button is now 15 seconds ahead of Fisichella but will need more to be able to pit and stay in front of him!

Barrichello makes his second stop from 7th!

Button pits from 4th. He will most likely rejoin ahead of Trulli!

The McLarens are dominant today particulary Kimi who has managed 20 seconds over Montoya.
The Renaults are the second fastest team however BAR have clearly closed the gap and Button in particular may have been a serious threat but for his mistake in qualifying.

The only close fight is between Villeneuve and Ralf Schumacher for 11th place. 0.5 seconds separate the two!

The rest seem to have settled for their places!
