The new IS 250 is powered by a 2.5-litre D4 Direct Fuel Injection V6 engine, combined with Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligence) system, providing the highest levels of output and power performance in its class, along with superior fuel economy and low-exhaust emissions. The V6 engine with Dual VVT-i system, controls and optimizes the exhaust valve timing as well as intake, resulting in the superb fuel economy at all engine rev ranges, from idling to high speed together with seamless power output from low and middle rev to high rev ranges. The D4 system enables intake cooling from the in-cylinder direct fuel injection system, leading to better filling efficiency and reduced liability to knocking. This enables a higher compression ratio, for greater output performance and improved fuel economy.

Like Ferrari’s Felipe Massa at the end of the first lap - who started from the last position on the grid - Red Bull’s Mark Webber took advantage of the hiatus to switch from the soft-compound Bridgestone tyres to the more durable hard rubber, hoping to avoid stopping again. The Australian was followed by a host of midfield runners all hoping for similar strategic fortune. By the time racing resumed on the sixth lap, Webber was already back up to 10th as he swept past Timo Glock’s Virgin. At the front Alonso quickly regained his rhythm, holding Vettel at bay by 1.3 seconds as Hamilton maintained third and Button began to drift back in fourth place.
