Christian Klien is the first retirement of the race. He parks his car on the side. A mechanical problem

It seems that Trulli is struggling and he is lapping in the low 1:18's now and Barrichello and Sato are starting to close in on Michael in 3rd!

Meanwhile Alonso continues to lap in the mid 1:16's
