The race has been stopped; current top-8 are Winklehock, Massa, Alonso, Webber, Coulthard, Kovalainen, Raikkonen and Wurz






Cars are being re-gridded for a restart; according to the F1 timing/scoring info, it will be a rolling start......the safety car will lead them around for one lap, then the safety car will peel off onto the pit-in road and the cars will get the green flag(no overtaking allowed prior to crossing the start line!)
Apparently it began to rain as they left on their formation lap, then it began to just pour at the start, catching everyone out on dries; several cars(Speed, Hamilton, Sutil, Rosberg) spun off at the end of the main straight..........there are five drivers out already(Button, Sutil, Rosberg, Speed and Liuzzi); Hamilton managed to keep it running and is still running but is now a lap down!
