VETTEL WINS THE MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX!
56/56
Rosberg compliantly holding back, but he'll be seething.
56/56
Vettel, meanwhile coasting to the line in a Red Bull 1-2.
56/56
'Maximum fuel saving', Hamilton asked for by Mercedes. They sound nervous.
55/56
The Rosberg-Brawn arguments continue - Brawn very forcefully asking Rosberg to drop back, and the German not listening.
55/56
No points for Button, he's being retired. A race with promise, laden ultimately with a costly mistake from McLaren.
54/56
Massa eases past Raikkonen into fifth - that's as good as he can hope for today, and has undone some of the damage from that bad start.
54/56
Rosberg is not easing off on Hamilton, as if to make a point.
53/56
Button is four seconds behind 10th (although still 12th) - could he yet sneak a point?
53/56
Webber has dropped back to four seconds behind Vettel. He's settled for second.
52/56
Rosberg and Hamilton were team-mates from a long time ago, and are good friends. This afternoon may just test that friendship...
52/56
'Lewis's pace is what we've asked him to do - he can go faster too' - Brawn tries to calm things down.
51/56
There's the call from Ross Brawn - no overtaking from Mercedes. Some miserable number two drivers today.

Rosberg: 'I can drive so much faster - just let me drive past' - 'Negative, Nico, negative'
50/56
Raikkonen lost a bit of his front wing across the kerb for good measure in that exchange.

Raikkonen cannot fend off Massa and cedes the position without a fight.
