Most of the others from the top 5 pile in now, but don't exit in as good positions as Vettel. Button is temporarily leading, but has not pitted yet.
Buemi and Trulli have retired.
Schumacher's pit stop didn't work out well and he's dropped to 12th.
Button pits from 1st and exits just in front of Webber.

Some of the cars have had to pit several times so far.
Sutil has made it to 15th, from his demoted 19th, but is being pressed by Alguersuari.

De La Rosa pressing Hulkenberg for 8th. He mares a neat and smooth pass....and Hulkenberg immediately pits.
Sutil takes a trip through the gravel, so pits for clean tyres. He's not having the best of races.
The leaders are approaching some tail-enders, but no real problems seem to ensue.
De La Roso is 7th now, but has still to pit and will probably be 12th or so afterwards.
Vettel sets the fastest lap for two lapsin a row. Webber's car appears to be consuming too much oil!

Schumacher's made it to P10 - He's in the points.
Massa gets told "Alonso is faster than....YOU!" Clearly, everyone says, an instruction to let Alonso past. Which has now happened.
And certainly Alonso has opened up quite a gap. Lapping a second quicker than Massa, apparently.

Even though Stefano Domenicali says there were no team orders there's still a big stoochie about that message to Massa. 99.9% of EVERYBODY else says it was clearly team orders which are ILLEGAL under FIA rules.
Alonso says he saw Massa slow and took advantage.
Massa was fairly non-commital and just said 'He passed me."

Ferarri Bosses have been summoned to appear infront of the stewards.
But the question now is why are the stewards acting now....and not at the time of the incident?
