    Can't see Vettel last on those tyres

    Vergne just pitted again, he made his first one just before the SC to get him out of Vettel's way.

    Fastest lap from Kimi, not looking too bad for him

    Raikkonen with a new fastest!

    I think Vettel should hold back now and let the tyres last, surely losing a little time is better than having a pitstop later on?

    Vettel told to keep pushing, they must be planning another stop.

    Kimi for WDC this year!

    If they have any fresh-ish softs they should take Vettel in now, he'll get back out in 4th and half 18 laps to make up about 18 seconds on Alonso.

    From a race point of view it's a pity Button can't get past Alonso. Alonso is only a tenth or 2 slower than Kimi but Button has a good half second a lap in hand.

    Vettel pitted - that makes sense. In Canada, we've seen how fragile he can be near the end of a race when his tires get thin.

    And Webber's been taken out - wrong place, wrong time!

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Vettle on soft compound with the three ahead on medium. Chance of a Vettle win.
