These are the final qualifying positions, but the starting grid positions will be slightly different for some of the lower places as their are a few drivers picking up penalties for various things - not all demeanours though.
Morning, just on the formation lap. :wave
Most cars get away ok, but 3 cars get in a fankle around turn 6 and are strewn over the track. Safety car deployed. Alonso storms up from P3 to P1, but it seems he got a jump start. Vettel didn't start too well and has dropped to P3 with Webber in P2.
It's starting to rain and some pitted under the safety car for intermediate tyres, but now there's a scramble to get back to slicks. I have little idea where everyone is.
Alonso has been given a drive through penalty for the jump start.

It's raining in places again. 

Lap 11 and there are 18 still running.
Sutil, Force India is fending off Vettel , Red Bull. But Vettel eventually gets past and Webber's so close by now that he gets past Sutil too, but not past Vettel, but Hamilton was able to pass Vettel and Sutil in one go a few laps earlier.

Hamilton and Schumacher scrapping now. Hamilton passes Schumacher who immediately gets it back but then so does Hamilton. Vettel passes Schumacher shortly after. Webber is still behind Schumacher when they pit for intermediates. Lots of drivers pitting the following lap, but this allows Webber to gain a few places.
Debris on track!
Safety car deployed again!
Cars all bunching up again. Lots of advantages lost!

Safety car in. Bit of crazyness ensues. Hamilton hits Webber and sends him off the track.
There is now a debate as to whether Hamilton has infringed any rules.
