Hello and welcome to live text commentary from the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim!

The stewards are reviewing the Vettel pass on Button - we'll see what comes of that. For now, though, the results are as stated. We are back next week for the Hungarian Grand Prix - join me then, and before @Mark_Eurosport

Alonso's third win of the season - and one that puts him 34 points clear in the title race. Well deserved.

The rest of the top 10: Raikkonen, Kobayashi, Perez, Schumacher, Webber, Hulkenberg, Rosberg

Vettel, Button on the podium!

ALONSO WINS!

The model of consistency, Alonso, comes round to win the race...

Button not happy that the move was completed off the circuit. We'll see if that comes to anything.

Alonso will be delighted it took Vettel that long - if this race had five more laps to run, he could have made a move.

HE DOES IT! Vettel's DRS too good, and the Red Bull makes the move stick.

On to the penultimate lap - the home crowd would love to see Vettel get ahead of the McLaren...

Vetel on the charge now - less than half a second away - it's all about Button's defence.

0.9 seconds separate second and third places. Alonso has a two second cushion ahead of them.

Alonso looks to have cleared Button here - the battle is whether Jenson can hold second place. Vettel is closing.

Top 10: Alonso, Button, Vettel, Raikkonen, Kobayashi, Perez, Schumacher, Webber, Hulkenberg, Rosberg

Schumacher has gained ground on Perez - he's just two seconds down on Perez now, and gaining a second a lap.

Into the final laps of the race. All three drivers running as fast as they have done all race. Where next from here?

Vettel picks up another couple of tenths on Button - he's now closer to the McLaren than the McLaren is to Alonso.

If it finished this way, Alonso would extend his championship lead to 34 points - that would be a big step forward in his title challenge.

The gap either side of Button is 1.3 seconds. Is the McLaren starting to go off the boil, or is he biding his time?

Button's tyres are one lap older than Alonso's and Vettel's. Vettel just gaining a little time here...
