65/65 So Hamilton now leads the championship by two points from Alonso with Massa one more point back.

65/65 SATO FINISHES EIGHTH!!!!!! SUPER AGURI HAVE THE FIRST POINT IN THE TEAM'S HISTORY. Jubilant scenes in their garage.

65/65 Hamilton finishes second and takes the championship lead outright for the first time. Alonso, Kubica, Coulthard and Rosberg complete the top six.

65/65 MASSA WINS!!!!!

64/65 Massa starts his last lap.

63/65 It's getting so close. Rosberg is now only 2 seconds behind....

60/65 David Coulthard has lost fifth gear from his Red Bull. Nico Rosberg is now just five seconds behind him.

58/65 Fisichella pits.... and exits BEHIND SATO!!!! Sato is in a points position. It will be Super Aguri's first if he can hang on.

56/65 The Renaults are running line astern in seventh and eighth, but they could have to stop again. If that happens then Takuma Sato will likely slot into eighth! That would be Super Aguri's first point.

55/65 Nick Heidfeld's retirement was caused by a gearbox problem.

53/65 If things stay as they are now then Lewis Hamilton incredibly will lead the world championship outright, and i don't believe anybody has achieved that feat before!

51/65 Ralf Schumacher's retirement was caused by suspension damage - a legacy of his first corner crash.

50/65 Things are really settling down now in Barcelona The order is unchanged at the second round of pit-stops.

48/65 Bad news for Nick Heidfeld. He retires in the pits.

47/65 Hamilton pits from the lead and drops to third behind Alonso. The Spaniard still has to stop though. Kubica is in too and comes back out ahead of Coulthard.

46/65 Ralf Schumacher retires from 13th in the pits.

45/65 Renault have a problem with their fuel rig. That's why Kovalainen has been stopping three times. The rig was underdelivering.

44/65 Rosberg pits from fifth... he exits right in front of Davidson.. Kovalainen pits too. So Renault went for a strange strategy. Coulthard gets fifth back and the Finn is back to the lower reaches of the top ten.

43/65 Coulthard pits from fifth. He loses a place to Kovalainen, but we expected that. Takuma Sato is now a brilliant seventh! Could Super Aguri be on for a point?

42/65 Fisichella goes by Barrichello with his pit-stop. He needed that.

42/65 Massa pits from the lead for the final time. No fire this time as Lewis Hamilton takes the lead of the Grand Prix for the second time this afternoon.

40/65 And Kovalainen is now less than 25 seconds behind the McLaren. Hmmm

39/65 Just 5.5 seconds now separate Alonso, Kubica and Coulthard. They'll be line astern soon.

37/65 Kimi Raikkonen has had enough. He's on his way to the airport already. Did we ever see Michael Schumacher do that?

36/65 Trulli: "The fuel pressure dropped and engine stalled. Engineers told me to re-start the engine ans carry on, but it didn't work. Car felt good, I overtook a few, and some of the front-runners retired too so maybe we could have been sixth today."

35/65 Christijan Albers takes a drive through penalty for ignoring blue flags a few laps ago.

34/65 The man to watch right now is Heikki Kovalainen. He is only 32 seconds behind Alonso, lapping faster, and we know he has already stopped twice. Could he be on for Renault's first podium of the year? He probably has to find another five seconds, but who knows?

33/65 Kubica is only 2.6 seconds behind Alonso. Great stuff. And Coulthard is only 4.6 seconds further back... and closing. What a drive this is from the veteran Scot. Good memories for him here, it is where he made his F1 debut 13 years ago.

32/65 Massa's lead is now up to 13.8 seconds over Hamilton. He is running away with things. He is the only driver on the track whose pace has not dropped by more than a second in the last 15 laps.

30/65 Kovalainen makes his second stop. That's inventive from Renault because he was stuck behind Coulthard. He only loses one place to Rosberg, dropping to seventh, so really this is a great drive by the Finn.

28/65 Davidson drops to 11th with his first stop

27/65 Liuzzi's retirement was caused by hydraulic problems. It's exactly what happened to him in qualifying.

27/65 David Coulthard is up to fifth now - what a drive from the Red Bull veteran. Kovalainen is pushing him hard with Rosberg seventh... AND ANTHONY DAVIDSON IS IN THE POINTS IN EIGHTH! But wait, the Super Aguri driver is yet to stop.

26/65 Heidfeld pits again. The problem is rectified and he goes back out. He drops to 14th with that.

25/65 Well he is somehow finding some speed, so maybe it was a spare nut. Massa is back into the lead anyhow.

24/65 Heidfeld pits from the lead. Nice stop. NO!!! NICK LEAVES WITH THE WHEEL GUN STILL ATTACHED TO HIS FRONT RIGHT. It looks like he has left the pits without a wheelnut on his right front. That's quite a crucial bit really, as these F1 cars don't handle too well without all four wheels on.

22/65 Button pits for a new nose... AND HE CAN'T FIND A GEAR!!! The Honda mechanics push him out of his pit stall as he finds drive and motors away.

22/65 Hamilton pits from the lead. Nice and easy from McLaren and he puts on a new set of soft tyres. That gives the lead to Nick Heidfeld's BMW Sauber, which is still to stop.

21/65 Jenson Button exits the pits.. Barrichello is entering turn one in the sister Honda... THEY TOUCH!!!! BUTTON LOSES HIS FRONT WING. Oh dear!

21/65 Kubica stops from second and drops a few places with his stop. LEWIS HAMILTON STILL LEADS FOLLOWING MASSA'S STOP AND LOOKS LIKE HE CAN GO A FEW MORE LAPS!

20/65 Tonio Luizzi cruises into the pits and retirement... COULTHARD NEARLY HITS HIM AS HE ENTERS THE PITS AT RACE SPEED! A lucky escape.

19/65 Indeed, leader Massa is in... Seven seconds... AND HE'S ON FIRE!!!!! FLAMES SPEW OUT OF THE BACK OF THE FERRARI, but then blows out. Will he be able to finish? Alonso pits for seven seconds too.

18/65 We're approaching the pit window now.

17/65 Jenson Button locks up his right front wheel at La Caixa. That's not the first time he's done that today.

16/65 Neither of them can match the pace of Massa though as the Ferrari driver is now 8.7 seconds clear.

15/65 Alonso is taking an average of two to three tenths of a second off Hamilton and is within four seconds of his team-mate now.

14/65 BMW Sauber are telling Nick Heidfeld to improve his speed through turns 2, 7 and 9 to close in on Kubica.

13/65 Mark Webber: "I think the problem happened quite early. I think it was the diff, which broke the hydraulics. It's happened again. We just have to be a bit more careful and try and work out our problems for next time."

12/65 Massa sets the fastest lap. His lead is now up to 7.4 seconds.

10/65 We've lost another car. It's Scott Speed's Toro Ross that has pulled off on the inside of turn one. His left rear tyre blew up down the straight. That's almost excactly what happened to him in Australia, but it was a right front that time.

9/65* Alex Wurz: "I had a good start, overtook a few cars, lined up behind Ralf. I had to lift because someone infront of me just stopped, virtually, and we hit. It is a shame."

9/65* He's into the pits and out of the car. Disaster for the man who started the race with a shared lead of the championship.

8/65* RAIKKONEN IS SLOWING TO A CRAWL. IS THE FERRARI ABOUT TO RETIRE FROM THIRD?

7/65* Massa's lead is now up to six seconds. He is streaking away.

6/65* Trulli too. He pulls out of the race in the pits with most likely a recurrence of the fuel pressure problems that caused him to stall on the grid.

5/65* Mark Webber is out of the race from 13th place. It is clearly a mechanical problem. Maybe a recurrance of the driveshaft problem he suffered in qualifying.

4/65* Another half a second is added to the lead. Massa is now 3.3 ahead.

3/65* Massa is already pulling out at the front. 2.8 seconds is his lead.

2/66* Alonso is going for a move on Raikkonen around the outside into La Caixa. He can't make it through there though and stays fourth.

2/66* Ralf Schumacher is in the pits. He needs a new front wing. Wurx comes in to retire.

2/65* The complete the first lap and the order is Massa, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Alonso, Kubica, Heidfeld, Coulthard, Kovalainen, Rosberg and Barrichello.

1/65* Fisichella is going left and right at La Caixa. Contact!!!! Alex Wurzx is slowing. He has broken suspension. Ralf Schumacher hit him. Fisichella unsighted both of them.

1/65* Good start from Massa.. Alonso attacks him round the outside.... THEY TOUCH!!!! ALONSO IS OFF INTO THE GRAVEL.... BUT GETS BACK ON IN FOURTH. Hamilton is up to second with Raikkonen third.

1/65* GO!!!!!!!!!

0/65* The field are ready to go.....

0/65* Trulli, sitting at the end of the pit lane, had fuel pressure problems, which led to his stall.

0/65* The field is waved off for an extra formation lap. That means the race will be reduced to 65 laps.

1/66* It's Jarno Trulli. He's stalled his Toyota. Heartbreak for the Italian who had qualified higher than he had all year in sixth.

1/66* We've got an aborted start, just as we did in both GP2 races.

0/66* They're all on the grid waiting for the red lights to go out....

0/66* No, they're okay. And it looks like everybody is starting on the soft tyres as the formation lap gets underway.

13:59 The Ferrari mechanics are still sorting out Raikkonen's car. Have they missed the 15 second board?

13:57 The atmosphere is building here with the massed ranks of the Alonso fans - all dressed in silver this year - make a huge noise with their horns and claxons.

13:54 If you're worried you've missed anything, don't. The order on your right is how the cars line up on the grid. You'll know when the race starts, trust me.

13:50 Well there's no Fernando Alonso on pole, that honour has gone to Felipe Massa for the third race in a row - oh the ignominy that a Portuguese speaker has done it instead.

12:00 Welcome back to Barcelona. It's the turn of the Formula One boys this time, with LIVE commenatary and timing from the Spanish Grand Prix on eurosport.com from 14:00 CET.
