Massa doesn't have enough fuel to finish at this pace. He has been told to conserve fuel but that will most likely mean that he will have to let Vettel pass!

Vettel has passed Massa

It seems that Ferrari have told Massa to slow down to save fuel

The team tells Massa that he is lap short!

Alonso in 6th is 16.7 seconds behind.

Another strategy error by Ferrari ? Or just a refuelling system problem

Rosberg finishes in 8th ahead of Hamilton, Glock, Kubica, Piquet, Nakajima and Fisichella make the rest of the field

Massa stops on the track as he runs out of fuel. That was very close!!
