Andre Lotterer pits for the second time.
Lap 23/67
Not much happening, Massa still leads ahead of Raikkonen and Sato.
Lap 21/67

This has to be the worst race we’ve ever had. Thankfully Williams also had a bad day. We welcome Rosberg aboard, a miscalculation in our budget means we have to part ways with Sato, at least for the near future.

Absolutely incredible. We've only just stopped celebrating. Our focus now shifts to the Hungarian Grand Prix
