Macs getting closer Fluffs

Might just be a minor wobble though.

So, di Grassi has a last minute oil leak, thus we may only have 23 runners already!
At best hell start in 24th from the pit lane.. Will it make much difference though?

Race starts fairly smoothly, but there's a bit of contact towards the back.
Webber and Vettel are 1 and 2 with Hamilton in 3rd, but Hamilton regains P2 a few corners later and is now eying up Webber, but Vettel's not letting him go and has just recently put in a fastest lap.

Meanwhile Schumacher stormed up from 5th to 'almost' 3rd, but has to settle for 4th which Button took back fairly quickly.

So, the top 6 are now as their grid positions.

1. Webber
2. Hamilton
3. Vettel
4. Button
5. Schumacher
6. Rosberg

14 laps in and we're starting to get cars pitting, so there could be a bit of position changing for a while.

Vettel and Schumacher pit, so the 1 2 3 is now
Webber
Hamilton
Button

Webber and Hamilton pit together!

Order:-

Button
Webber
Vettel
Hamilton

Button pits now and exits P4

Order:-

Webber
Vettel
Hamilton
Button

Hamilton tries to pass Vettel, but Vettel has the line and Hamilton goes wide - no positional change in the top four.

RAIN EXPECTED!!!!

Around 15 minutes or so.

Schumacher and Rosberg still 5th and 6th respectively.

The expected rain is just a shrt shower, apparently.

Alonso, who started 12th, has only made it to 10th so far, but he is in the points.

Rather dull looking, but no rain yet.

Top 10:-

Webber
Vettel
Hamilton
Button
Schumacher
Rosberg
Kubica
Massa
Petrov
Alonso

Apparently the rain is now eight minutes away and will last for 20 minutes, but no report on its intensity.

Trulli's just pulled up and got out. So that's his race over and Kovalainen's in the garage, but not officially out yet.

Alonso tries to pass Petrov, but cant,
Webber and Vettel are passing 'Fastest Lap' back and forth between them.

No rain yet, though there are reports of it near-by.

ccident!!!

Vettel tries to pass Webber but they collide and both spin. Vettel's rear tyre is wasted and he is out, but Webber continues, but now in P3.

Webber has to pit for new tyres and nose. Emerges still in 3rd though.

This lets Kobayashi into the points in 10th place.

I can see spots of rain!

Alonso tries to pass Petrov again, they touch slightly, but both are ok and Alonso is through.

Hamilton and Button also challenged each other, Button briefly got into P1, but Hamilton took it back a few corners later.

After getting into 10th place, Kobayashi was passed by Sutil and so was out of the points again.
However something (I missed it) happened to Petrov and so Sutil ended 9th and Kobayashi got a point for 10th after all.

Final result:-

1. Hamilton
2. Button
3. Webber
4. Schumacher
5. Rosberg
6. Kubica
7. Massa
8. Alonso
9. Sutil
10. Kobayashi
11. De La Rosa
12. Alguersuari
13. Liuzzi
14. Barrichello
15. Petrov
16. Buemi
17. Hulkenberg
18. Glock
19. di Grassi
20. Chandhok
21. Senna
22. Vettel
23. Kovalainen
24. Trulli
