Top 10: Barrichello, Massa, Hamilton, Kovalainen, Raikkonen, Nakajima, Rosberg, Button, Alonso and Webber

Buemi, Piquet, Vettel, Bourdais, Fisichella, Kubica, Heidfeld, Sutil, Glock and Trulli make the rest of the field.

Buemi covered the most number of laps with 37 laps. Vettel covered the least number of laps with 16. Vettel had what appeared to be an engine related problem with smoke coming out from one side. Moments later Webber complained of a problem and pitted.
