Gap down to 2.8 seconds between Button and Michael.
This will be an interesting fight.

Alonso's lead is now 9.3 seconds but he only needs to push if Michael gets ahead of Button. That is assuming he has some in reserve!

Could be clever strategy from Renault as Michael is now stuck behind Button!

He rejoins just behind Alonso.

We should have a great end to this race with Alonso pushed by Michael!
