Raikkonen going around a second a lap faster than Alonso currently..

 

[Flibster]

Raikkonen does a 1:15.638 on lap 7.

Montoya right up Fisichella's backside

 

[Flibster]

So...who's going to pit first of the normal pitstops?

My guess...M.Schumacher...

 

[Flibster]

Webbers car is having a suspension change. He should be rejoining soon.

 

[Flibster]

I did hear that at least one of the front runners may be running a heavy 2 stop strategy..which works out around 15 seconds a race faster...

 

[Flibster]

Raikkonen does a 1:15.637 on lap 11
