It is relatively quiet now with only a few cars on the track. The two Toyotas have covered the most laps so far with 11 each

Vettel has improved in second but remains 0.137 seconds behind Webber. He is on the softer compound while Webber's time was set on the hard compound

Vettel now just 0.091 seconds behind Webber. That was a reasonably long run on the soft compound. That's a good sign

Kubica is 20th, only covered 6 laps and is chatting to BMW staff on the pitwall. Must be a major problem with his car
