00:0057 laps to go and it's lights out and away we go Max Verstappen gets an excellent start from Lando Norris
00:08there goes Kimi Antonelli with Piastri on the inside, Verstappen just a bit of a look up there
00:12runs wide, Norris is going to keep him keen, fighting through turn two, Norris goes off the track
00:18and loses three places as a result, Kimi Antonelli is now putting pressure on Max Verstappen
00:24who has the briefest of leads, then comes Oscar Piastri, behind Oscar Piastri, George Russell
00:29and Lando Norris, oh it was a move he was trying to make, Max Verstappen just locked up, Norris thought he could get to her place
00:36and then ended up losing three, Jack Doohan has stopped by the side of the track at turn 14
00:42and that's why we've got a safety car
00:44he's forced me off man, what am I going to do this time, it's going to warm or something
00:48like I was completely alongside
00:50and a virtual safety car, so everyone slows down, drives at 40% of their racing speed
00:58and the race is effectively neutralised until they clear that LP, that's wretched luck for Jack Doohan
01:03who out qualified his team mate Pierre Gasly for the first time
01:07and then barrels into turn one and we'll see Liam Lawson I think coming into shot in a moment
01:12we'll see the Haas first, makes big contact there
01:17he took the tyre straight off the rim
01:19the Verstappen Norris incident, so down into a fairly sort of level wasn't it in the top 4, Antonelli nice and wide
01:28Max locks up, then Lando goes up the inside of him
01:32and then Verstappen has another slide, which meant he walked the car off to the right towards Norris
01:41Norris had to take avoiding action, but I think Verstappen was ahead in the apex fight, if you like, in that section, in that chicane
01:49it's front wheel of Lando Norris to wing mirror of Max Verstappen
01:53and we can't see from that angle whether Lando had the right to the corner and a right to space
01:59you're driving standard guidelines, this might give us more of a clue
02:01this could be a better view
02:02the guidelines say, if you are doing the overtaking, you have the right to this corner on the inside
02:07if you are front wheel to wing mirror
02:10yeah, that was a shove off the racetrack, wasn't it?
02:14I think he was sufficiently, it was sort of front axle to front axle
02:17well if Max Verstappen got a penalty in Jeddah
02:21is that the same sort of penalty for here?
02:26well, no, it's different, it isn't because Max went across the runoff area there
02:30but, oh, there we go around
02:33that's the lorsome one
02:34yeah
02:34yeah, I got completely hit, mate
02:36I have no idea what the opening was doing
02:38thanks ever so much indeed, Zach
02:41Max Verstappen has disappeared off into the distance again
02:43Kimi Antonelli under pressure here from Oscar Piastri
02:45Oscar Piastri has got that overtake done
02:48by the time the car's getting into turn 11
02:50and the championship leader pushes his McLaren up into second
02:53and Lando Norris making the move on Alex Albon
02:56so he's back up into the top
02:58so it's different to overtaking on the inside as such
03:01and that's what the stewards will be establishing
03:02this is Lewis Hamilton going wheel to wheel here
03:05with Isaac Hadja
03:06don't often see overtakes on the final corner
03:09and we're not going to see one there
03:11but as the drag now down towards turn 1
03:13Hamilton seems to have a bit more pace
03:15but can't quite get past the racing balls
03:17until Hadja outbrakes himself
03:19often you just sit in the cockpit like
03:21where did that come from?
03:22I wonder if that's another case of the hard tyre
03:24isn't the best tyre to be on at the moment
03:26seems that way
03:27Piastri there within three tenths of a second of Verstappen
03:31within a couple of car lengths of Verstappen
03:33trying to move to the outside
03:34to force Verstappen to go a little bit deeper
03:37the crowd absolutely loving this battle
03:39you can hear the cheers
03:40as they make their way through that little mini stadium sector
03:43now into the chicane
03:45and there's going to be a chance for Piastri
03:47coming at the end of the backstreet
03:48Piastri is so much closer though
03:49as we ride on board
03:51on the front wing
03:52down the main straight
03:53Piastri is going to have to go around the outside
03:55once again
03:56he's just marginally ahead
03:57on Vax Verstappen
03:58Verstappen's got the inside line though
04:00and Piastri has to back out
04:02but Verstappen goes deep
04:03into the corner
04:04and concedes the lead of this race
04:06Piastri the world championship leader
04:08is now the new leader
04:10of the Miami Grand
04:11he checked out hasn't he
04:12out front
04:13while this pair of squabbling
04:15is absolutely checked out
04:16and Norris coming at him again
04:18then
04:18down
04:18into the T11
04:20this time
04:20he's under control
04:22a lot cleaner
04:23for Lando Norris
04:24a lot more succinct
04:26and second place
04:27is here
04:27fighting with a Ferrari
04:29customer engine
04:30Haas
04:31in a Grand Prix
04:32he had ambitions
04:34a lot further up the road
04:36but he's catching him fast
04:37he's a lot closer
04:38this time around
04:39to try and make that move
04:40this is going to be very tight
04:42indeed he just about stays
04:43on the white line
04:44he's still going wheel to wheel
04:45with Esteban Ocon
04:46neither of these two
04:47are backing out
04:48Ocon stays ahead
04:49and on the Ferrari
04:52that didn't look good
04:54that's Oli Behrman
04:54he's gone off the track
04:55as well
04:56he's been overtaken
04:57by Carlos Sainz
04:58and then off the track
05:00for Oli Behrman
05:01yeah that's a motor
05:02something gone wrong
05:03with the motor there
05:04was that a puff
05:06of smoke
05:07from the engine
05:08didn't look like a lockup
05:10this could be Oli Behrman
05:11out of the race
05:12just cruising around here
05:14it'd be a safety car
05:15as well
05:16because that's
05:17in a very difficult place
05:18no wonder
05:19McLaren are getting ready
05:20we have got a virtual
05:21safety car
05:22so
05:24so he's lost the hydraulics
05:26on that
05:26he lost the steering
05:27I'd imagine the smoke
05:29we saw then
05:30was not the power unit
05:31per se
05:31this then
05:32Antonelli under
05:33a lot of pressure
05:34from Alex Albon
05:35down the pit straight
05:35Albon with the DRS ring
05:37wide open
05:38Antonelli breaks late
05:40has he stayed
05:41on the track
05:41not enough
05:42through he goes
05:43and here comes
05:44Carlos Sainz
05:45making a move
05:46on Charles Leclerc
05:47one corner
05:48two Williams
05:49two Oli
05:50they'll play a bit
05:50of that out as well
05:51and this is Yuki Tsunoda
05:53so did he just
05:55brake a little bit
05:56too late
05:56by the looks of it
05:57and by the five second penalty
05:58I'd say the answer is yes
05:59a lot too late
06:00I would say that
06:01he was still carrying
06:02a lot of speed
06:02wasn't he
06:03we've got a virtual safety car
06:04sorry to interrupt you Martin
06:05Gabriel Bortoletto
06:06has stopped
06:07on the back straight
06:09and that's why
06:09for the third time
06:10this afternoon
06:11the virtual safety car
06:13has been deployed
06:13so for the third time
06:15we will neutralise
06:17the racing
06:17and everyone will drive
06:18at 40%
06:20of their racing speed
06:21and there you can see
06:21Bortoletto by the side
06:23of the track
06:23and where he's positioned
06:25just about a third
06:27of the way
06:27down that back straight
06:28wheel to wheel
06:29Williams and Ferrari
06:30into turn 17
06:31we go
06:32round the outside
06:33marginally ahead
06:34is Charles Leclerc
06:35but the inside line
06:37for Alex Albon
06:38serves him well
06:39and he streaks clear
06:40but only by a car length
06:42and this time
06:43Leclerc will have
06:44the inside line
06:44going into turn 1
06:46Hamilton's having
06:47a watching brief
06:47on this one
06:48as through
06:49goes Hamilton
06:50and just behind
06:52his teammate
06:52Charles Leclerc
06:53he got one
06:54Williams
06:54and for a moment
06:56thought he got
06:56his teammate too
06:57Sonoda runs 10th
06:58and the final
06:59place in the points
07:01he gave him fair
07:13warning that
07:13that was what
07:15he thought
07:15they should be doing
07:16and it did take
07:17three laps
07:18for Ferrari
07:19to finally
07:19make that decision
07:21first half of this race
07:22absolutely epic
07:23Hamilton's been told
07:24to swap the positions
07:25and give Charles Leclerc
07:27a chance
07:29at getting
07:29we'll try again
07:31next lap
07:31it's okay
07:33it's okay
07:33now
07:33we are seeing
07:35Antonelli
07:35let's try to get him
07:37and then
07:38otherwise we are going
07:39to lose more time
07:40than anything
07:41I
07:42yeah
07:43then we discuss
07:44after the race
07:44there you go
