00:00Magnussen, where the Frenchman failed.
00:04Do you agree with that decision, Paul?
00:06Was it the right time to make team orders at Mercedes?
00:09It's what we said Ferrari could have been a bit more aggressive with earlier in the year.
00:14Germany, for instance.
00:16Yeah, there's clearly a point where you want to do the damage limitation,
00:20but whether they'll change it back and whether they're just trying to get by Verstappen, we're unsure.
00:25But Verstappen's still able to set personal.
00:27It's appreciated by everybody.
00:28Come on, who agrees with me, who doesn't?
00:30I don't know, Skyfly.
00:31Hashtag Ask Crofty.
00:33Ted's sentiment against Toto's ruthlessness.
00:36Bottas has done nothing wrong today.
00:38They're probably going to win the championship anyway.
00:40They didn't need to do that today, did they?
00:41What do you think?
00:42Yeah, well, let's tell you what.
00:43Hashtag Ask Crofty.
00:44I'd love to hear everyone from all at Sky Sports.
00:48You've got a very uncomfortable plane journey with that man tonight,
00:50explaining why you forgot his birthday.
00:58Marcus Ericsson, Carlos Sainz, and then Fernando Alonso, first of the lap runners,
01:06his 306th Grand Prix ahead of Lance Stroll, Stoffel van Doorn, Sergei Sorokin running last,
01:13Pierre Gasly and Brendan Hartley, the two Toro Rossos, are both out with brake failure.
01:18Not the first time Toro Rossos have had brake failure.
01:22He's put in his best lap of the race.
01:24Has Sergio Perez, Kevin Magnussen responded as well.
01:27Perez slows down.
01:28Esteban Alcon gets that position back once more.
01:31He moves up into about as much fever and activity as when your dad slumbers on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
01:39The Red Bull is leader.
01:41Affirm.
01:43How the heck did that happen?
01:45He's not pitted yet.
01:46He's yet to pit.
01:49Still surprised though, isn't he?
01:50And Holkenberg's asking that because Verstappen's about to come up and lap him.
01:54Yeah, they're pretty much mirroring your old man on a Sunday afternoon.
01:57They're just casually going about their business.
02:00They're just chilled, aren't they?
02:01But that's as surprised as anybody.
02:04It is pitting.
02:05So, Ted Kravitz, can you see the Red Bull crew rushing out?
02:08I can.
02:09They're right in front of me.
02:09But, of course, this is all about nicking the place of Kimi Raikkonen
02:11and potentially challenging Sebastian Vettel.
02:14So, he comes in, hits his pace very nicely, hits his spots.
02:18And it's the ultra soft, the purple tyres, not the hyper soft pink ones.
02:24The purple tyres go on.
02:25They needed to give Verstappen enough laps to do something about Kimi Raikkonen,
02:29who's going to be what?
02:3012, 13 seconds down the road in front of him.
02:32About that.
02:33Yeah.
02:33So, it's going to be good from here.
02:35Yeah, he's a little bit untouchable, I think, Raikkonen.
02:37It was interesting, Christian Horner had to stop watching his hand here time in the pit stop.
02:41Just monitoring how the crew are getting on with that one.
02:44They did have a set of news and they'd still be in the championship hunt.
02:48So, I can understand it.
02:50Let's just put it that way.
02:51What is the response on hashtag AskRockD anyway?
02:54Well, there will be quite a response.
02:55Cool or not cool?
02:56I've not had a chance to look at the Twitter yet, but I will be doing so in about 20 minutes' time, Ted.
03:02I'll tell you what I'm keen on now, though, Johnny.
03:04Sebastian Vettel.
03:06He's doing now what he did this time last year.
03:09And he's mounting another late challenge on Valtteri Bottas.
03:13Except this time last year, Bottas was leading the race and Sebastian Vettel will enjoy.
03:17But I think Valtteri would have been very aware that this would have been the situation going into the race.
03:24So, it's something I think the team will always say, you know, you did a great job today.
03:29Sorry it had to sort of end this way.
03:31But this is the way racing is nowadays.
03:33You know, Lewis deserves, I think, the win anyway because I think he's, you know, he's done a great job all weekend.
03:40But Valtteri, obviously, after the pole position yesterday, deserves a win, of course.
03:45But, again, that will come down the line as long as that consistency.
03:48For the third time in his Formula One career, Lewis Hamilton sees the chequered flag and wins the Russian Grand Prix.
03:57It is a Mercedes 1-2.
03:58They continue their 100% dominance in Formula One in Russia.
04:04Valtteri Bottas takes second place.
04:06Sebastian Vettel loses 10 points to his championship rival.
04:11He comes home on the podium but is now 50 points behind in the driver's championship.
04:16Kimi Raikkonen, fourth place for him and the second Ferrari.
04:20Max Verstappen, driver of the day without a doubt.
04:23Started 19th, will finish in fifth.
04:26I'm going to be the first.
04:28I'm going to be the first.
04:29I'm going to be the first.
04:30I'm going to be the first.
04:31I'm going to be the first.
04:32I'm going to be the first.
04:33I'm going to be the first.
04:35I'm going to be the first.
04:36I'm going to be the first.
04:37I'm going to be the first.
04:38I'm going to be the first.
04:39I'm going to be the first.
04:40I'm going to be the first.
04:41I'm going to be the first.
04:42I'm going to be the first.
04:43I'm going to be the first.
04:44I'm going to be the first.
04:45I'm going to be the first.
04:46I'm going to be the first.
04:47I'm going to be the first.
04:48I'm going to be the first.
04:49I'm going to be the first.
