A fantastic showing from Red Bull, and Vettel in particular. He was a cut above today, and that dispels the memories of Red Bull in Istanbul last year, where the driving duo collided and both racers' afternoons were ruined. They've looked more or less untouchable.

Massa and Schumacher's eventful races end up pointless - they are outside the top 10.

In come Heidfeld, Petrov, Buemi and Kobayashi to round out the top 10.

In comes Hamilton well off the pace in fourth - but good points added. Rosberg takes fifth, and Button takes a lonely sixth.

Webber in to make it a one-two for Red Bull, and Alonso a very creditable third!

Round one last time... and Vettel takes it!
58/58
On to the final lap - Vettel proceeding around and enjoying it as if he had already taken the chequered flag and it were his victory lap.
57/58
Sutil and Perez are fighting for 13th place as if the championship were on the line.

Spoke too soon - Heidfeld up to seventh ahead of Buemi and Petov looks set to follow.
56/58
That looks like all the positions are more or less decided. Three laps remaining.
55/58
Rosberg finally makes that pass on Button - and there was nothing that the McLaren could do with his tyres on the wane.
54/58
Great work from Schumacher - who manages to get past Massa and Alguersuari - all in the battle for 11th. And Massa hits straight back!
53/58
Good news for Button - Sebastian Buemi, who's done well to get his Toro Rosso into seventh, is now losing time and he may be too engaged in a battle with the Renaults behind to cause any headaches in the battle for sixth.
53/58
So Webber looks comfortable enough now - but Vettel is still eight seconds clear. He's managed his tyres, avoided incident - it's set to be another commanding win for the German.

Webber back up to second! Great move, DRS on his side. It takes the last couple of corners of the lap to seal it, but the Australian's car is much the stronger.
52/58
Rosberg is about 3.5 seconds adfrift - surely too little for Button to protect?
51/58
Webber less than a second behind Alonso now - has the Ferrari got any defences against the Red Bull?
50/58
Button is trying to lose the least amount of time here - Rosberg is making good progress from sixth place to reel the Brit.

Hamilton is going to waltz by Button here - the old tyres are no match for Hamilton's pace. No fight offered by Button - four stops trumps three stops.
49/58
Problems for Alonso here - Webber is quicker - much quicker. The Australian reeling in the Ferrari at 0.5 seconds a lap, and he's only two seconds back.
