Slow puncture? He is out on new tyres and is motoring along nicely.

Seems to be a problem with the front left. According to radio 5 commentary Vettel has radioed in saying it is not 100% but he is still setting fast times.

His race engineer has told him to take it easy under braking.

Vettel's car looks very unstable under brakes. He is very busy on the steering wheel during braking on the onboard shots.

Vettel has been told that his brakes are away to go and to take it very easy with 6 laps to go.

Just seen a replay of something flying from Webbers car. It's not clear if it was debris or a part of his car.

Anyone got a screen shot?

It seemed something flew off Hamilton front left suspention/ brake just a fraction of second before the puncture. Anyone saw which part parted way with the car?
