    Um... Vettel had DRS activated down the pit straight then didn't he? Alonso stayed comfortably ahead.

    Button needs to get the primes out of the way on his second stint.

    Not for long. He's beasting them.

    Vettel's just won it I think.

    McLaren stretching the stints?

    Why do Mclaren keep Button out too long all the time? He is just getting screwed by pitted cars on fresher tyres and is just losing loads of time.

    Whats clear is that RB are fastest here.

    That's why Alonso can't pull a gap. If Alonso stays ahead in the race, that will be epic!

    He's determined to make it work at some point this season.

    This is brave of Button after what happened in Istanbul. He's going much faster on fresher tyres than those ahead.

    Vettel's screwed, right? Five stop?

    seems to have worked enough to get him up to 5th, and who says Vettel can't overtake? (although lucky he didn't lock up for longer, he coulda ruined his tyres)

    Wow, Vettel in again, could work, but burning tyres? risky as shorter stops mean longer hard tyre stint. maybe Button has a chance after all

    That's too risky after 18 laps isn't it?

    He's covered Alonso but Hamilton's not giving it up.

    It has worked, Alonso to try to re-undercut in the next round of pitstops?

    At the moment Hamilton is 1.6 seconds faster. I wouldn't take it back.

    Mifune's right. Vettel hammering Hamilton now.

    All this undercutting is compromising the final stint, though - surely?
