Unfortunately they can all change tyres so it'll be a precession and victory will be gifted to Vettel. Yet again we are robbed of him actually facing a proper challenge :(

Watching the McLaren guy trying to run with the front wing shows how much ballast they're running in the front end. The nose and front wing wouldn't be that heavy otherwise.

I have seen races restarted but not at this late stage.

Petrov has been taken away in the ambulance. He is talking but complaining of leg pains.

Anything can happen, but more between Jenson and Fernando unless Vettel messes up.

Ah, got you now!

More racing please.
Not booing more racing, just find it a bit pointless as it is so close to the 2 hour mark.
I could see ten starts a day no matter how close the two hour mark is!
I love it!
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

According to the Radio 5 commentary no one has changed tyres that they have seen. However, given that McLaren are changing a front wing and repairing a rear wing I would suspect that they can change tyres, effectively getting an extra pitstop.

EDIT: It looks like McLaren are changing tyres on Hamiltons car, so I am guessing that they can all change their tyres, unless McLaren are claiming it is crash damage and that is allowed.

No fresh tires? And they're starting behind the SC?

Such a pity the leading trio got away from the mayhem unscathed..
Would have loved to see Kobayashi first victory!!! :D

Three teams were quoted as saying they could change tyres.
