00:00We have got cars coming in, George Russell is coming in, Charles Leclerc is coming in, Lewis Hamilton has stayed out.
00:07So just two cars coming in to change tyres before we get underway here.
00:13The last sector is just too wet for slicks.
00:16Fourth pole of the season for Max Verstappen, Piastri alongside him on the front row.
00:20It's lights out and away we go there, crawling away, and Piastri getting a decent start is already alongside Max Verstappen here.
00:27Going into turn one, Verstappen ahead from Piastri, then comes Norris, then comes Lewis Hamilton.
00:32Going wide is Fernando Alonso and he's still ahead there on Pierre Gasly.
00:37Verstappen into Villiers, there goes the McLaren, almost touches there.
00:40Piastri stays ahead of Norris, Hamilton there looking for a way past Gasly on the inside, trying to make headway too.
00:47Somehow they all manage to avoid each other.
00:49Out of the loop, onto the Wellington train.
00:51And going wide and into Racing Bulls, going off and into the barriers there.
00:55They're losing five seconds per sector at the moment, those on slicks.
01:00And that's because he's got a puncture, he's got floor damage.
01:02And that car, well, it's not anywhere near a service road there.
01:07Right, here's Esteban Ocon.
01:08And that's Liam Lawson on the right-hand side.
01:12Oh!
01:13And that was only ever going to send the Racing Bulls spinning towards the barriers.
01:17He was, he's done well to avoid the barriers there, Martin, because he was being sent off there at quite a speed, even for such a slow corner.
01:24Look, as he gets his foot down, here he comes back.
01:27He didn't know he was there.
01:28I don't think Ocon did anything wrong.
01:30He did, but he just...
01:32Who the hell is that?
01:34I'm out.
01:36Who the hell is that?
01:38Whoever this house was next to me, oh, dude, he just drove straight into the side of me.
01:42Oh, and out is Gabriel Bortoletto.
01:44We've got another retiree on the medium tyre.
01:47The slick gamble did not work for Bortoletto.
01:51That could be a full safety car, that one, because they're going to have to...
01:55Oh, no, he's got it underway.
01:57Well done.
01:58He didn't beat you.
01:58This is what happened to Bortoletto.
02:00He is almost tiptoeing around, afraid to get on the throttle, because that's what happens when you do.
02:06Just a little tickle of throttle.
02:08He was being so cautious through there.
02:11He's got a lot of damage to his rear wing.
02:15Are you OK?
02:18Yeah, man, sorry.
02:19He's out of the race.
02:20It's OK, no worries.
02:21He won't.
02:21I was going to get a trickle there.
02:23All right, running around six laps, and then four laps after that, there'll be heavier rain.
02:27But he's right on Verstappen's tail now, as we go down the hangar straight, and he's wheel to wheel down the hangar straight.
02:33And by the time they get into Stowe, Oscar Piastri leads the British Grand Prix.
02:38Oh, Verstappen's gone wide at Chappell, and that lets Lando Norris through.
02:43He said he had really bad intermediate tyres.
02:46He's got to prove it there, Max Verstappen.
02:48And Lando Norris, by the time he gets to his own grandstand, now runs in P2.
02:52We've got the top three all in the pit lane, all for fresh intermediates.
02:56And this is pressure for the pit crews as well.
02:59They service Oscar Piastri in 3.1 seconds.
03:03On go the intermediate tyres for Lando Norris.
03:05That's costly.
03:05That is very costly.
03:06Front left just took a little bit longer.
03:09He's lost two seconds in the pit.
03:11Max Verstappen now gets back ahead of Lando Norris.
03:14Well, spotted Martin because he was stationary for three seconds left.
03:18See on board with Lewis Hamilton, who's down in the eighth place and has been struggling in these wet conditions.
03:24I said he got passed by Pierre Gasly.
03:27I think Ocon went through and then Gasly went through, and I don't think Lewis would have seen either of them.
03:34And that is his teammate, Charles Leclerc, racing across the grass and back out onto the track again.
03:42And George Russell has got ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
03:45We were looking almost at cloud cover, not just spray.
03:48And Russell knew that Hamilton's struggling to get temperature into his tyres straight away.
03:53And he's ahead.
03:54And that is Lewis Hamilton now getting the place back again.
03:56And Esteban Ocon losing out to George Russell.
03:59And we've got another safety car.
04:01And that is Isaac Hadja facing the wrong way and damage to the front of his car.
04:09He dropped it on the way in.
04:11That is quite significant damage on the right-hand side.
04:13And I'm really glad that he's radioing in to say, I'm OK.
04:17You can barely make out the red lights.
04:22And he went straight into the back of Antonelli.
04:24And that's him out.
04:25Yeah, I didn't see him.
04:26I mean, he appeared out of nowhere, man.
04:29Oh, my God.
04:30And Lewis Hamilton was saying the same thing at turn one.
04:33But you're not allowed to accelerate and brake, accelerate, brake.
04:36Do it once, can't you?
04:37Oh, he's around.
04:38Verstappen spins.
04:40And then the safety car comes to an end.
04:43We get going.
04:45And Max Verstappen spins around and has lost eight places as a result.
04:50And is now battling away with Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon.
04:53And is right in the middle of the two, will you?
04:56It's up to him to control the speed.
04:58They've got to let the safety car get away.
05:03Oh, mate.
05:04This is slowly against us down.
05:07Yeah, I think Piastri might be in trouble for that because that was too much slowing down there.
05:12And then Max, obviously, a little bit frustrated, hits the loud pedal too much, coming out of stow and rounding up.
05:21He's generally struggling for grip.
05:22He's not necessarily under pressure from Hamilton.
05:25Has George Russell got enough momentum?
05:27As Hamilton goes wide, he's got the momentum there to now go wheel to wheel.
05:31And before we get into maggots, take the place off Lewis Hamilton.
05:34Russell's up to six.
05:35A ten-second penalty for Oscar Piastri for a safety car infringement.
05:40We thought he might be in trouble.
05:42The race leader leads by three seconds.
05:45But you've got to take another ten seconds to add to his race time.
05:49Lando Norris is the de facto leader of the British Grand Prix.
05:52Look at this ten-second penalty for Yuki Tsunoda.
05:56And that's Oli Behrman on the right-hand side.
05:58We saw Oli Behrman going off and spinning, and that was why.
06:02And I did wonder, he almost collected Yuki as he came back on the track.
06:06I wonder why Oli had gone off, and it was because of contact from Yuki Tsunoda.
06:10Now look at HĂĽlkenberg getting up into third place.
06:15DRS down the straight.
06:17Can he keep that?
06:18Yes, he can.
06:18And Lewis Hamilton joins the party.
06:20How long can he keep Hamilton at bay?
06:23And the longer he does so, the more that will help Nico HĂĽlkenberg.
06:26Surely as Downey inside goes Lewis Hamilton at Village.
06:30Slides his Ferrari out of that corner.
06:33And makes his way around and onto the Wellington straight in fourth place.
06:38Oh, that's a spinning George Russell.
06:40And on the slick tyres, Russell is finding that it is still way, way too damp out there.
06:47There we go.
06:48He's going to turn in here, and it's just going to swap round on him.
06:51And he's sort of kept tabs on where he was, and drove straight onto the hangar straight.
06:59This is Hamilton.
07:00He made his pit stop, comes out, picks up a bit of water offline, then goes off the track,
07:07struggling, struggling, struggling for any grip.
07:09Tyres are getting even colder.
07:11He's got seven and a half seconds to try and gain on HĂĽlkenberg and deny him that first podium.
07:16Oh!
07:16I don't think the penalty before was very fair.
07:19I mean, I know it's a big question, but if you don't think it was fair either, I think we should swap back and race.
07:26And that is Oscar Piastri very nearly losing it all together.
07:32Here's Charles Leclerc.
07:33Oh, just finding a wobble.
07:35It's a miserable race he's had, hasn't he?
07:37And he, like George Russell, came in early, very early on in this race to change onto the slick tyres.
07:43It just hasn't worked out for him.
07:44Russell is in the points.
07:46He's 10th.
07:46He's got Oli Behrman right behind him, but Leclerc down in 14th at the moment.
07:51Towards the line, he won in Austria last time out.
07:54This is going to mean so much more.
07:56Lando Norris, for the first time ever, wins the British Grand Prix.
08:01It's our home win at Silverstone for the 25th time.
08:06Oscar Piastri comes home to finish second.
08:08It's a McLaren 1-2, 239 starts, and finally, he gets to stand on the podium.
08:17It's third place for Hulkenberg, a podium for the first time.
08:22His record that he didn't want can be wide clean, and at Salva, they can celebrate.
08:29That's it, mate.
08:29You've won the British Grand Prix.
08:31Well done.
08:32Woo!
08:35Woo!
08:36Woo!
08:36We did it!
08:40At home.
08:42Oh, my God.
08:43We did it.
08:44This one means a lot, huh?
08:45Well done, guys.
08:48Yeah, it's beautiful.
08:50Well done.
08:51Incredible.
08:52Well done.
08:54Podium.
08:55Three babies.
08:57I don't think I can comprehend for me what we just done.
09:01Oh.
09:01Oh, my God.
09:05Hello.
09:06Incredible, man.
09:07Enjoy it.
09:08Enjoy it.
09:08You did an absolutely fantastic job.
09:11I can't believe it.
09:11Let's go.
09:41Let's go.
