No news yet on Raikkonen's failure.

Alonso leads by nearly 10 seconds. Button in second is now 11 seconds ahead of Trulli who is holding up a lot of drivers behind him!

Button pushes but Alonso responds.

The Toyotas are struggling. Trulli is lapping nearly 1.5 seconds slower than the 2 in front. Ralf Schumacher in 10th is holding Michael Schumacher behind him.

There is a train of cars behind Trulli but it is nearly impossible to overtake on this track.

Felipe Massa is the first to make a pit stop from 14th!

Trulli in 3rd is 24 seconds behind Alonso. Michael Schumacher in 11th is 32.7 seconds behind Alonso

Expect a lot of changes after the first stops.

Fisichella, Raikkonen and Barrichello retired already! You'd expect this high retirement rate in Malaysia or Bahrain!!

Button sets the fastest lap so far with a 1:23.163.

Massa's pit stop was due to losing a bit of front wing
