OK, the Ferrari guys are back in the garage.
Just precautionary? Or mind games?
Anyway, neither Vettel nor Raikkonen will be coming in.

Two laps remaining under the safety car. Surely this is over.
Ferrari mechanics are out in the pit lane though...

Verstappen out!published at 08:37 British Summer Time 12 April 2015
Big, big shame.
Max Vertappen is out in the Toro Rosso from eight position. His second retirement from the points in three races.
The engine has let go amid an awful grinding cacophony, locking the rear wheels and forcing him to stop on the pit straight.
Maldonado outpublished at 08:36 British Summer Time 12 April 2015
He's given us a lot of entertainment today but it's all been too much for his poor car. The Lotus is out, wheeled back into the garage after a hairy afternoon.
Meanwhile, whoever runs the website really needs to update it...

Just as I was singing the praises of Maldonado and Button for a good clean fight, they come together at the end of the pit straight.
And guess what? It was not Maldonado's fault.
Defending his position, as he had every right to do, the Lotus man was hit up the backside as Button missed his braking into turn one.
Both cars continued but there's damage to both.

After a - shall we say - trying afternoon, Pastor Maldonado shows what he's capable of in a fantastic, clean duel with the McLaren of Jenson Button.
The pair duked it out side by side through several corners before the Venezuelan moved ahead.
Button came back to retake the place at the hairpin, while Fernando Alonso is now joining the party.
Good scrap.

Kimi Raikkonen: "C'mon, get that McLaren out of the way."
The Finn sounds frustrated as he makes his way through the backmarkers. I think he knows the podium is gone barring any retirements ahead.

Update the website.
Maldonado has had a proper spin this time. The Venezuelan pirouettes in a cloud of tyre smoke but keeps the Lotus going.

Hamilton has had issues with an over-heating seat all weekend, caused by its proximity to the car's energy recovery system.

Raikkonen has become the last of the top four to make his stop.
Now that all of that has shaken out, the situation is as follows:
Hamilton leads by 5.4secs from Rosberg with Vettel third, 5.6secs back. Raikkonen is fourth, another three seconds back.
Massa, Bottas, Grosjean, Perez, Verstappen and Nasr complete your top 10.

Lotus driver Maldonado just had a moment on his way into the pits, missing his braking and running up an escape road.
After a few flustered seconds, with marshals moving in, he finally selects reverse and boils off up the road and into the pits.
The website asks, 'has Pastor crashed'?
Sort of.
