Kovalainen P5! With everyone racing heavily behind, he's being left alone.
Webber falling, falling, falling...

Maldollnado could still be on for this guys, he's sticking with Alonso very well indeed.

Stewards investigating Vettel and Massa. What for exactly? And they're investigating Schumi and Senna.

REALLY SCHUMACHER?! He "moved to the right, then went over to the left in the braking zone"???? You're a piece of work Michael, utter utter lies. He was driving STRAIGHT until the braking zone, at which point he moved about THREE FEET to the left, whereas you decided at the same point to move ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACK. If you have just driven straight and not tried to outbrake him you would have missed him completely. Extremely poor excuses. Just go home, you're over the hill and full of shite excuses for your piss-poor performances.
And MALDONADO LEADS!!!!

Oh dear...Williams pit-crew really messed up there, hopefully that didn't cost Pastor the race!
Also, why did Perez retire? I seem to have missed that completely

Vettel changes his front wing. Aerodynamic problems for both Red Bulls.

Similar thing. Looks like it didn't affect Maldanaldo that much after all.

And Pastor retakes the de facto lead, now it's a matter of seeing this race out. We need clutch performance, now, Pastor.

What do you think happened, a botched pitstop is to blame of course!

Shame about Senna though. What position was he in when Schumacher hit him?

Fernando. You've already ruined a potential victory for one midfield team. I don't care if it is your home race, you are not to beat Maldonado!

I think he was ninth or tenth, still, absolutely nowhere. Wouldn't have done anything of significance anyhow.

8th, but he obviously needed to pit again, he was still making some good gains though.
This Williams car is obviously a very good car, especially considering last season's crapbox.

About 8th or 9th. But he hadn't made his first stop yet whilst several cars behind had.

As Maldonado was challenging Alonso for the lead, Senna was behind Kovalainan on merit. 'Nuff said.

On the BBC feed, every time they pass on to Gary, I always imagine him outside some shops with a cream over coat, holding a carrier bag with a couple of pies. Is it just me?!

Not bad, Senna. But this race really makes Senna look bad. Looks like Bottas will surely take the spot next year.
Meanwhile, as much as I like Alonso and Ferrari, I dont want them to kill another midfield team's chances of victory, just as they did with Perez, and Fisichella in 2009.
Meanwhile, Raikkonen gaining at least a second a lap to the frontrunners.

I'd say Alonso is starting to lose it by the looks of things, Raikonen could still be a threat though I think.
Koboyashi is in a banzai mood today as well, which is great.
