00:00:00The dogs overachieving 10 rounds of racing with heartbreak and elation up and down the grid

00:00:05as we now arrive at the 11th race of the season.

00:00:08We're in Spielberg at the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix.

00:00:12And this, the track just over 4.3 kilometers, situated in the bowl of the Styrian Mountains.

00:00:1810 corners for our 20 drivers to navigate.

00:00:21One of the shortest tracks on the calendar with an elevation change of over 60 meters,

00:00:26making it tough and challenging too.

00:00:29Three Dale rest zones will help with overtaking.

00:00:31And these are the tires they have to play with this weekend.

00:00:34Relly bringing the same compound as last year.

00:00:36The C5 soft, the C4 medium and the C3 hard.

00:00:40Looking like a two-stop with the mediums and hards in play with some having to run that soft tire as well.

00:00:46But beautiful surroundings to go racing in and we can see how they line up on the grid

00:00:52with a few cars out of position and right at the back.

00:00:56We will see 20 cars all on the grid.

00:00:59The last of them, unfortunately, after a tough qualifying yesterday.

00:01:03A lock-up to blame for Nika Hülkenberg in 20th.

00:01:05Carlos Sainz makes it three consecutive Q1 knockouts.

00:01:08He damaged the floor yesterday down in 19th.

00:01:11Yuki Tsunoda continues the struggle in that second Red Bull.

00:01:14Goes from 18th.

00:01:15Behind the Frenchman, Esteban Ocon.

00:01:17Lance Stroll will go from 16th.

00:01:19With Oli Behrman at 15th.

00:01:21He's the top position gainer in races so far.

00:01:23Can he add to that tally today?

00:01:25Franco Colopinto is 14th for Alpine.

00:01:27Isaac Hajar out-qualified by his teammate Liam Lawson.

00:01:30He's down in 13th with Alex Albon with his big lap in Q2.

00:01:35Compromised by the red flag.

00:01:36He missed out on the top 10 along with Fernando Alonso.

00:01:39Pierre Gasly did manage to get 10th.

00:01:41Behind Kimi Antonelli in the Mercedes.

00:01:43Struggling in the high temperatures from 9th.

00:01:45And what a result for this man.

00:01:47Gabriel Bortoleto.

00:01:48His first top 10 start in Formula 1.

00:01:50And he starts alongside his mate.

00:01:52Out of position for Verstappen.

00:01:53Behind the racing balls of Liam Lawson.

00:01:55And on a standout qualifying on this grid.

00:01:585th for George Russell.

00:01:59Lewis Hamilton gets his best Grand Prix qualifying for Ferrari.

00:02:03Starting from 4th.

00:02:04The championship leader Oscar Piastri is 3rd.

00:02:07And that is your front row.

00:02:08Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari in 2nd.

00:02:11And his first pole position in Austria goes to Lando Norris.

00:02:15But it's a rather steep incline up to Turn 1.

00:02:18The first of the pinch points.

00:02:20And he'll have to do it in front of the Orange Army.

00:02:23Who aren't here to support the Papaya.

00:02:24They're here to support Max Verstappen.

00:02:26But it's the best seat in the house, Karu Chandler, for Lando Norris to be in.

00:02:30It absolutely is.

00:02:31I mean, these people have some fantastic seats in the Grand Sands.

00:02:34But Lando Norris is where he wants to be.

00:02:38It's where he wanted to be.

00:02:39It could have been in Montreal.

00:02:40But he's maximized the opportunity yesterday.

00:02:44Put himself there.

00:02:45It's a short run, Harry, to the first braking zone.

00:02:47Only 214 meters.

00:02:49To give you context, a place like Barcelona is 700 meters, for example.

00:02:53So, it's a short run for Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris from the first corner.

00:02:58But that means around the circuit, the battles tend to carry on on the opening lap all the way around to Turn 6.

00:03:06They certainly do.

00:03:07As we will get the formation lap underway.

00:03:11This track featuring 10 corners.

00:03:13But really only 7 of them really making any kind of impact.

00:03:16But 3 DRS zones, of course, Karun, as well.

00:03:18That could help some try and make those overtaking moves possible.

00:03:21Yeah, the DRS zones are worth about 7 tenths of a second per lap.

00:03:25So, there's a lot of lap time to be gained behind another car, dragging you along.

00:03:30Conversely, by following those cars from Turn 5 all the way to the final corner,

00:03:34you lose around that same 7 tenths, actually.

00:03:37So, we will see how that plays out.

00:03:40But for Lando Norris, you can see they're pushing him back a little bit.

00:03:42Look at those tire blankets off.

00:03:44Brand new set of medium tires.

00:03:46In fact, Harry, the first 9 cars on the grid are going to start the race on brand new medium tires.

00:03:53Pierre Gasly in the Alpine, he will be starting on a used set of soft tires.

00:03:58And because Alpine, Aston Martin and Racing Bulls are 3 of the teams who will use the soft tire at some stage of this Grand Prix.

00:04:08The big four, McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari have the same tire allocation,

00:04:15which is two sets of new mediums and one set of new hard tires.

00:04:18Off on the formation lap they go and it's a short lap round here.

00:04:22What have we got in store over the course of those 71 laps ahead of us?

00:04:25Let's bring in from Sky Race Control, Bernie Collins.

00:04:28Afternoon, Bernie.

00:04:29What have we got ahead of us to look out for?

00:04:31Well, good afternoon, Harry.

00:04:32Good afternoon, everyone at home.

00:04:34I think we've got a really good race on our hands here.

00:04:36Multiple stop race.

00:04:37Always a lot to look out for.

00:04:39You can see there they expect...

00:04:40Oh, sorry, Bernie.

00:04:41We've got Carlos Sainz, who hasn't been able to get away.

00:04:44Let's hear from him.

00:04:45Barry's stuck in first gear.

00:04:46Stuck in first gear.

00:04:49I can see Carlos Sainz.

00:04:50I can see him, Harry.

00:04:51He's outside our comedy box window.

00:04:53He's got just the marshals.

00:04:55The mechanics cannot touch the car.

00:04:57They've now waved the marshals off,

00:05:01but the car is still parked on the grid.

00:05:04We're obviously looking at Lando.

00:05:05He's coming around up to turn six.

00:05:07The FIA race director has now got a decision to make

00:05:10because Sainz is still stuck there,

00:05:12but there's nobody touching the car, as you can see.

00:05:15So, we're only out of time here.

00:05:18Something is stopping the car from moving forward.

00:05:21Car is stuck.

00:05:22Okay, I'm just thinking what we can do.

00:05:25Just saw the car judder forward slightly,

00:05:27but clearly not able to get underway.

00:05:30As already, where is Lando Norris?

00:05:31He's approaching turn nine now.

00:05:34We'll see him imminently popping over the crest of this little hill.

00:05:37There he is.

00:05:39And Carlos Sainz is still nowhere near to being moved.

00:05:42They're going to have to get that car into the pit lane.

00:05:44I don't understand, to be honest, why.

00:05:46There's a button which you can enable neutral,

00:05:50so the marshals can go press that, put the car into neutral.

00:05:53They're now about to start pushing him away.

00:05:58Yeah.

00:05:59There's Lando.

00:06:00They're going to have to abort the Lando.

00:06:01They're going to have to abort.

00:06:02There's still people.

00:06:03There's still people on the side of the track.

00:06:05There are mechanics running down the pit lane.

00:06:08There are mechanics still stuck on the grid.

00:06:10There's no way we can run the start.

00:06:12And there it is, a board to start.

00:06:13Ted Kravitz, what do you see?

00:06:14But they wasted 30 seconds trying to get this car started all the time around a short lap.

00:06:20And now the top cars, everybody else, apart from Carlos Sainz,

00:06:23who's going to make his way around the back, is going to sit there overheating.

00:06:26He's now going to.

00:06:27Sainz has now got going.

00:06:29I know, I know.

00:06:30So he's going to be around cooling his car, going around to the back of the car after

00:06:33he finally got.

00:06:34But they wasted 30 seconds rather than just saying, let's abandon this and push him through

00:06:38the waiting hole in the pit wall.

00:06:40Yeah.

00:06:41But as far as I know, we're going to go and we'll come to Bernie and race control.

00:06:45But Bernie, we're going to go to the 10-minute procedure here, I believe, aren't we?

00:06:48Yeah, exactly.

00:06:49Because I've called in a boarded start.

00:06:50Everyone goes to a great position.

00:06:52The mechanics can all go back to the cars, get it nice and cool.

00:06:55We go back to the 10-minute countdown.

00:06:58So it'll go back to 10 minutes.

00:07:00The grid procedure will restart.

00:07:02Carlos will go back to the grid and just let me have a look through the regulations

00:07:05and figure out if he needs to start from the pit lane, which I think is the procedure.

00:07:08Thanks, Bernie.

00:07:09What a chaotic start to the Austrian Grand Prix.

00:07:12Well, not a start to the Austrian Grand Prix.

00:07:14Carlos Sainz failing to get going.

00:07:16Cars making it way back around before all the team members are able to actually get off the grids.

00:07:21We will now go to that 10-minute procedure.

00:07:23And Carlos Sainz, here he comes now.

00:07:25He should pull over to the right here and go into the pit lane.

00:07:28Yeah, there he does.

00:07:28So he will start from the end of the pit lane.

00:07:30But on a hot day where these cars are already going to be struggling for temperature.

00:07:36And guess what?

00:07:36You know the Formula 2 race.

00:07:37We saw a few cars struggling.

00:07:39The engine's going pop.

00:07:40And this is a race which is tough on engines anyway.

00:07:44These temperatures are not going to help.

00:07:46So we're looking out of the window, Harry, at this point.

00:07:49Just watching feverish activity from the mechanics trying to get dry ice, trying to get cooling fans, trying to get any amount of cooling in those cars.

00:07:59Oh, there's fire.

00:08:00I feel like the car is still breaking.

00:08:02It's on fire.

00:08:03Carlos Sainz is Williams is on fire.

00:08:05The rear brakes going up in flames.

00:08:08The mechanics are there.

00:08:09Ted, what can you see?

00:08:10It's the right.

00:08:11It seems to be the right rear.

00:08:12I can see the smoke from the right rear coming out.

00:08:16Both.

00:08:16Both rears.

00:08:18Both, yeah.

00:08:18So he's parked himself at the end of the pit lane.

00:08:20But that's too far, Carlos.

00:08:21His mechanics are going to come out and have to extinguish the fire.

00:08:24What chaos at the beginning of this Austrian Grand Prix.

00:08:27Well, it was only a couple of years ago when Carlos Sainz was in a Ferrari here that he had to pull over and his car was in flames.

00:08:34Different scenario this time around.

00:08:36Saying that it doesn't feel like the car is braking enough.

00:08:39The team are there with him.

00:08:40The formation lap will start at 3.15 local time then.

00:08:45So we will get that 10 minutes or so to build back up.

00:08:49But smoke coming off the back of Carlos Sainz's Williams and everybody else lining up on the grid.

00:08:55Bernie, I'd love to come to you.

00:08:56Just take us through what the teams are going through here.

00:08:59The mechanics and people like that.

00:09:01Because they've had to run all the way up to the pit garages and run back down on a hot day here.

00:09:06Well, you're worried about the temperature of the cars, Corinne.

00:09:08I think the temperature of the cars will be all right.

00:09:10Because the teams will be running back with all the fans.

00:09:12The temperatures of all the mechanics out there will not be all right.

00:09:15Because they've all got their fireproofs on.

00:09:17They'll have ran back to the garage, coming back to the grid now.

00:09:20Some of them, as we see there, were still on the grid and not having made it back to the garage.

00:09:24They'll reset the cars.

00:09:25They'll be in a pretty good condition, I think, to go again.

00:09:28Obviously, the tyres have had one formation lap.

00:09:31Now they've got a selection.

00:09:32Do they keep on those tyres?

00:09:34Do they change?

00:09:35They know what decision everyone else has made now.

00:09:37So the strategists will frantically be working out.

00:09:39Is it a different set of mediums or the same set of mediums?

00:09:42I think most likely a different set.

00:09:44Because those tyres could be quite cold by the time they get wrapped up in blankets again.

00:09:48So that's one decision to be made.

00:09:50The race is now one lap shorter.

00:09:53So the race will be one lap shorter than it was if we get going after this next formation lap.

00:09:58But the teams are practicing this.

00:10:00They know what to do on an extra formation lap.

00:10:02They just do the grid from 10 minutes a game.

00:10:03Look at how at the ready they are with these fire extinguishers.

00:10:07There's big problems clearly.

00:10:08Still billowing smoke out of the exhaust at the back.

00:10:11But the countdown's on.

00:10:12So you know from Carlos and Williams' perspective.

00:10:16The formation lap is going to start with or without them in 9 minutes time.

00:10:20Or less than 9 minutes time.

00:10:21So it's knocking a bit tight.

00:10:23Because they haven't been able to go through all of these systems and procedures that Bernie was talking about.

00:10:28We see up and down the grid here.

00:10:30That the other teams are able to do.

00:10:32Wheels off some of those cars.

00:10:34Mercedes has got the wheels off for example.

00:10:36Ted you've got a bit more for us down there I believe.

00:10:39Just so much smoke.

00:10:40And that unmistakable smell of burning carbon fibre brakes.

00:10:45Once you smelt it once at a racetrack you never forget it.

00:10:48But pity the mechanics who've been just breathing all of that extinguishment and the smoke in.

00:10:53So clearly it must have been that the brakes were just on throughout that lap that Sainz did around there.

00:11:00And that would kind of tally with why he couldn't get away in the first place.

00:11:03Team Radio?

00:11:05Game over.

00:11:05Carlos.

00:11:06Drop it.

00:11:07Oh bad luck for Carlos.

00:11:08Yeah but there was never.

00:11:10I mean do you think they could have fixed it Caroon?

00:11:12No way.

00:11:13I mean there was so much smoke.

00:11:15And so much had burnt.

00:11:16That by the time they got him back to the garage.

00:11:19That was not going to be a starter.

00:11:22So 19 we have.

00:11:23Back to you.

00:11:24Thanks Ted.

00:11:25James Vals.

00:11:25Oh head in his hands.

00:11:27Carlos Sainz not even getting to start the race.

00:11:31He had a job on his hands anyway going from the back of the grid with floor damage picked up.

00:11:36Yesterday in qualifying they swapped that out for a new floor on both cars.

00:11:39Actually Albon didn't get away with that any floor damage yesterday either.

00:11:43But for Carlos Sainz where there could have been possible points rising up through the field.

00:11:48He won't even get the chance to see lights out.

00:11:50And it's such a deflating emotion for the drivers to be honest.

00:11:55I mean I had that a couple of times in my career where you know you've done all of your pre-race prep.

00:12:01You've done your warm-ups.

00:12:02You've had your fluids.

00:12:03You've done all of this stuff in the build-up.

00:12:06And then something goes wrong that just completely just it's like a massive massive balloon that's just gone pop.

00:12:14And it is a really deflating feeling.

00:12:17Not just for him of course but for the engineers and mechanics and everyone in that team.

00:12:21Just Harry one point I was just speaking of what Bernie was saying before about we've talked a lot about how hot it is and the track temperature.

00:12:28And some people might be wondering about us talking about the tyres being too cool because they've done the formation lap.

00:12:34The Formula 1 tyres operate at a certain window.

00:12:39And actually when you're going slowly around on the formation lap the temperature is just coming down.

00:12:43So what they would want is a set of tyres that's come on fresh out of the blanket that are cooked up into the operating window that you want of 80 degrees.

00:12:53And then they could go again.

00:12:55So Bernie I'll just pick up come back to you.

00:12:57So just thinking about it now I could see Mercedes for example they've had the wheels off.

00:13:03They're right outside a country box.

00:13:05A lot of the other cars have kept the wheels on.

00:13:08So just talk us through because you've got the effect of having used the tyres for one lap versus obviously the temperature as well.

00:13:16Yeah there's a lot going on with tyres in particular.

00:13:18So the effect of having gone from done the launch of the grade, done that half formation, full formation lap, very very small in terms of tyre performance.

00:13:28The bigger effect is the temperature.

00:13:30Now like you say through the formation lap the tyre temperature will start to fall.

00:13:35And that's often why we see the guys do burnouts just before they get to the grid.

00:13:38Get the surface temperature up again.

00:13:40Get the tyre nice and sticky ready for that launch of the line.

00:13:43Because if we come back to the 10 minute signal that's quite important from tyre point of view.

00:13:49At 5 minutes the tyres need to be fitted to the car.

00:13:52That's the point that the pressure is checked for Pirelli.

00:13:55So if the temperature has dropped the pressure will have dropped.

00:13:59And likely when Pirelli checks that pressure it will be too low.

00:14:03And teams would be asked because the tyre is cooler to add more air into the tyres.

00:14:08And that means that you run at too high a pressure for that first stint.

00:14:12That's very detrimental.

00:14:13Teams that haven't taken the tyres off will not be subject to the re-check of pressure.

00:14:20And I cannot tell you the temperature of the seat is maybe, I don't know, 200 degrees.

00:14:27Copy that.

00:14:30In the old days you should chuck a bucket of water down the back of the drivers just to try and cool them down.

00:14:36Can't see that happening at your old team, can we, Bernie?

00:14:39I don't think that's going to happen.

00:14:40There wasn't a lot of sympathy there either, wasn't there, that response.

00:14:42Yes, Fernando Alonso closing his eyes, mentally trying to cool himself down.

00:14:47Ted.

00:14:47I was just thinking about Fernando Alonso's fried behind.

00:14:53Ew, poor Fernando.

00:14:54Horrible.

00:14:55Right, yeah, they are all trying to stay cool.

00:14:59Lewis Hamilton's engineers, mechanics, have found some dry ice.

00:15:02He complained on the lap before, or rather the build-up before the first formation lap,

00:15:07that when they gave him a fan, it didn't have any dry ice in it, so it's just blowing hot air into his face.

00:15:13But I was just looking across the grid.

00:15:14Oh, Team Radio.

00:15:16To make sure there's plenty of waters for the mechanics, everyone's dripping.

00:15:20Oh, bless him.

00:15:21That's George all over, isn't it?

00:15:23Good man.

00:15:23Always thinking of the boys and girls in the garage.

00:15:26But, yeah, Ferrari have found some dry ice to put in the fan, so it's actually blowing out cold air now.

00:15:31Thanks, Ted.

00:15:32Yeah, the mechanics really feeling the heat.

00:15:35No escape on the start-finish straight.

00:15:38It's absolutely, I don't think there's any shade at all available.

00:15:42Well, the driver, Ian Lawson there, getting a cold blow of air into the cockpit.

00:15:47No, the both sides of the grid completely exposed to the sun, and the track temperature, 56 degrees at one point,

00:15:58is what the Pirelli engineer told me on the grid, and it's sort of settled now at about 53, so it is toasty, that's for sure.

00:16:07But, you know what, I think there's also now an element of, as we see, Jurgen Klopp here,

00:16:13visiting the Racing Bulls pit garage with Peter Beyer.

00:16:15Yeah, there's also an element of the drivers needing to just get their minds refocused,

00:16:21because they would have done their formation lab procedures,

00:16:24the adrenaline would have been building up towards the start of the actual Grand Prix,

00:16:30and they've now got to refocus, reset, have a conversation that they need to have with their engineers about this, you know,

00:16:37what was the launch like?

00:16:38Because what will happen is, Harry, they would have had now 12, 13 minutes

00:16:42to look at the data of the star, of that formation lab star, and they'll get feedback, right,

00:16:50this is how quickly you release the clutch, this is how much, you know, in terms of the clutch position,

00:16:55we need to adjust, because they can do that electronically.

00:16:57So they'll get feedback from their performance engineers, and they can then have another go at it.

00:17:04But, I'll tell you what, these spectators are going to be toasty, aren't they?

00:17:08By the time we finish the Grand Prix in two hours' time.

00:17:10I would think so.

00:17:10I hope they've got the sun cream out and ready.

00:17:13That grandstand's absolutely packed here, expecting them to be packed out next week as well,

00:17:18at the British Grand Prix, of course, we're going to swap the Orange Army for the papaya of McLaren

00:17:24in the Lando stand at Stowe, which is going to be an awesome atmosphere,

00:17:27and I think it'll be an amazing atmosphere across the weekend, as it has been here,

00:17:32and the fans, and we all are, eagerly awaiting, well, the second formation lab,

00:17:37which you can see, less than a minute and a half away now.

00:17:39You mentioned the drivers are going to be in sort of constant communication,

00:17:42back and forth with their engineers about what's happened in the last formation lab,

00:17:45but is there also a moment where you just want a bit of hush,

00:17:48and to get back in that zone and refocus?

00:17:50I always found the formation lab to be really useful for that,

00:17:54because there's a lot of stuff going on in the grade.

00:17:57There's a lot of people talking to you, there's engineers,

00:18:00there's people shoving microphones in your face,

00:18:03there are sponsors, there are people around, you know, there's a lot going on.

00:18:07And that formation lab, as a driver, as an individual athlete behind the wheel of the car,

00:18:14allows you to go into that mental space,

00:18:17and, you know, you still have to obviously go through, as Bernie was saying,

00:18:20the burnout procedures and things like that, you know, practice start,

00:18:24but it really helps you focus the mind for the Grand Prix.

00:18:29Well, cars being lowered down from the jacks then,

00:18:31and we'll get this formation lab back underway.

00:18:34Now down to 19 cars after Carlos Sainz with his car initially not being able to get away on that formation.

00:18:43That did make it back round, made it back to the pits,

00:18:46and then fire from the rear brake.

00:18:48Sainz now out of this one with a DLS to his name,

00:18:52leaving us with 19 cars on the grid.

00:18:56And because we're having a second formation lab,

00:18:58we have now taken a lap off the total amount we will do around this Red Bull ring

00:19:03to 70 laps of racing.

00:19:06Formation lap then underway once more.

00:19:08Lando Norris leads them up the hill,

00:19:11214 metres from pole position to that breaking point of Turn 1,

00:19:16the first of those pinch points here.

00:19:18Charles Leclerc will be alongside him, looking for a clean start.

00:19:21If you remember last year, he found himself in the wars,

00:19:24had to come in for a front wing change.

00:19:27Ferrari hoping he gets a clean start,

00:19:29and that beginning is going to be so important.

00:19:31We've got another slow car off the grid.

00:19:32It's the Sauber of Nico Hülkenberg,

00:19:35but he's able to get himself away again.

00:19:38He'll be last on the grid anyway.

00:19:40Yeah, in case you were wondering why they were going slowly at that point,

00:19:42it's because they all have a speed limit that they have to adhere to

00:19:45until they cross the front row of the timing line of the front grid.

00:19:50So, Lando Norris leading the pack around

00:19:53as we head into that middle sector of lap.

00:19:56This is the part of the lap where, if he is still in front,

00:20:01or even for everyone else, if the battles carry on,

00:20:05this is where it starts to settle, you know, Turn 6.

00:20:08But until Turn 6 on the opening lap, it is generally pretty frenetic.

00:20:12And we saw it in the Formula 2 race.

00:20:14We've seen it in the Formula 3 race already this weekend.

00:20:16So, yeah, watch out for that.

00:20:19Whatever happens just up into Turn 3,

00:20:21it doesn't mean things are settled.

00:20:23You can't relax, unlike at a lot of other circuits.

00:20:26Here we go, then.

00:20:27Take 2, almost underway for the Austrian Grand Prix.

00:20:31Lando Norris up and over the hill at Turn 9.

00:20:34Ten corners around this just over 4.3-kilometre track.

00:20:38We'll have 70 laps of racing ahead of us.

00:20:42Rebecca Lee up in the pit gantry will be starting the race

00:20:47and pressing the button for the lights to go out once more.

00:20:52Lando Norris already on the grid.

00:20:54Charles Leclerc will be alongside us.

00:20:55Piastri and Hamilton, the top four.

00:20:58The Ferraris with an upgrade this weekend seeming to pay dividends.

00:21:02It's not day and night, but it's moving in the right direction.

00:21:05A bit of luck coming their way as well in yesterday's qualifying to help them up the order.

00:21:11George Russell and the Mercedes in the top five.

00:21:13The Mercedes really feeling the heat, quite literally struggling a tad in these high temperatures.

00:21:19Max Verstappen starting out of position.

00:21:21Look out for the Red Bull down in seventh.

00:21:24Looking to displace Liam Lawson with his second best qualifying of his career up inside the top six.

00:21:30Gabriel Bortoletto in the Sauber will be eighth.

00:21:33Head of Kimi Antonelli and Pierre Gasly.

00:21:34That is your top ten to watch out for going through Turn 1.

00:21:39Three DRS zones as well after the first lap.

00:21:42I think it could be quite entertaining.

00:21:45Just look at Leclerc.

00:21:46He's parked his car slightly pointing to the left-hand side.

00:21:50The left, where the two McLarens are, that is the clean side of the grid.

00:21:53The two Ferraris on the dirty side of the grid.

00:21:55Here we go, Harry.

00:21:5619 cars on the grid.

00:21:57No Carlos signs.

00:21:58It's Hulkenberg at the back.

00:22:00But on the front row, it's the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc.

00:22:02The McLaren of Lando Norris.

00:22:04It's all eyes to the lights.

00:22:05And foot to the floor as we go racing in Austria.

00:22:09And it's a good start for Lando Norris.

00:22:11Immediately coming over to the inside.

00:22:13And balks up Leclerc.

00:22:14Who then is taken round the outside by Piastri.

00:22:18The McLarens lead out of Turn 1.

00:22:19Heading towards uphill.

00:22:21Turn 3.

00:22:22George Russell in the Mercedes.

00:22:23Also under pressure now.

00:22:24But Piastri.

00:22:25Can he ever go on his teammate?

00:22:27Norris defends up the hill.

00:22:29Into the right-hand.

00:22:30Lock up from George Russell.

00:22:31He hits Max Verstappen.

00:22:33Out of the race for George Russell.

00:22:35No, it's Antonelli, Harry.

00:22:37Antonelli.

00:22:37It's Antonelli who's locked up.

00:22:39There's Russell.

00:22:40Alongside his old teammate Lewis Hamilton.

00:22:43And out in front though.

00:22:44Lando Norris holding on to the lead.

00:22:47Yeah, it was Antonelli and Verstappen out of the Grand Prix.

00:22:50Already Piastri.

00:22:52Tried to have a go around the outside.

00:22:53Backed out of it smartly.

00:22:55But look at this.

00:22:56George Russell versus Lewis Hamilton at Turn 6.

00:22:58Russell having a little sniff.

00:22:59But Hamilton covers him off.

00:23:02It was Antonelli who just locked up there.

00:23:04The safety car.

00:23:06Unsurprisingly.

00:23:06Has been deployed.

00:23:08So really bad news for Max Verstappen.

00:23:12And that enormous Dutch grandstand.

00:23:14On the inside of Turn 6.

00:23:16They didn't even get to see his hero come past at racing speed once today.

00:23:21First retirement of the season.

00:23:24For Max Verstappen.

00:23:26A five-time winner here.

00:23:27And you can see the damage that's been caused.

00:23:30Kimi Antonelli was the Mercedes locking up.

00:23:33And the damage to the front left.

00:23:35We see this happen on lap one of the Red Bull ring.

00:23:38But to take out really the home driver as the Red Bull is hoisted up rather aggressively there.

00:23:45Straight away though Verstappen waving to the fans.

00:23:48But that is it.

00:23:49Verstappen out of the race.

00:23:50Kimi Antonelli out of the race.

00:23:53Carlos Sainz never got to start the race.

00:23:55Lando Norris holding on to the lead.

00:23:57Piastri with a superb start.

00:23:59As those two come together to have a little debrief.

00:24:01I wonder if he's apologising a little bit there, Kimi.

00:24:06Because he was on the inside, the dirty part of the track there.

00:24:10And yeah, I mean in that whole melee.

00:24:13You know, Gasly's up four places.

00:24:15Albon's up five places in that whole mess.

00:24:19Yes, we'll see when the replays come out, Harry.

00:24:22Just how that all unfolded.

00:24:23Obviously, Kimi Antonelli was starting further down compared to the other Mercedes.

00:24:29Down in ninth.

00:24:31Right behind Verstappen who was seventh on the grid.

00:24:34So they would have been running together.

00:24:35Here we go.

00:24:35Here's the replay at the start.

00:24:36Now, Antonelli and Verstappen on the left-hand side of the grid there.

00:24:43Antonelli doesn't get a great getaway.

00:24:44He gets overtaken as the Charles Leclerc goes further up at the front.

00:24:50Now we'll see the run to turn three.

00:24:52Looking back from Lando Norris.

00:24:54Decent launch.

00:24:55And actually the top three got a pretty good launch.

00:24:57But Norris chose to cover off the inside there with Leclerc.

00:25:01And that opened up the door for Piastri to come around the outside.

00:25:05Oscar's now got the slipstream.

00:25:06He's got a great toe.

00:25:07So look to the left of your screen.

00:25:09That is Oscar having a go around Norris.

00:25:11Norris covered it off nicely.

00:25:13Further back, Antonelli completely there in a lunge.

00:25:17And Lawson getting caught up in that melee as well as Bartoletto.

00:25:21Those two lucky to carry on.

00:25:23On board with Max Verstappen.

00:25:24So he's on the outside.

00:25:26Mining zone business on the outside of Lewis Hamilton there.

00:25:29And whack gets the big hit from Mercedes.

00:25:33I got hit like crazy.

00:25:36It's the end of a 31 race point streak for Max Verstappen.

00:25:43Here we are on board with Kimi Antonelli.

00:25:44He knows already.

00:25:45He's got caught out.

00:25:46He's got caught out by how early they've slowed down for that corner.

00:25:51Then he's gone.

00:25:51Oh, there's a gap.

00:25:53Sorry about that.

00:25:55Locked the rear.

00:25:56Sorry.

00:25:59Yeah, he's...

00:26:00Watch, Kimi.

00:26:00He's further back there.

00:26:02Bartoletto and Lawson in front.

00:26:04He suddenly realized they're stopping earlier than he expected.

00:26:06And just way too much speed.

00:26:09Locked up.

00:26:10And, yeah.

00:26:12Would you put it down as a rookie error?

00:26:14I mean, it's his first time.

00:26:15He's driven a lot of laps on this track.

00:26:17First time in a racing situation.

00:26:20But I'm not sure Max Verstappen will take that as any consolation.

00:26:26Well, both cars now clear of the track.

00:26:28You can see the safety car ending.

00:26:30We've lost three cars now.

00:26:31Carlos Sainz didn't even start the race.

00:26:33Kimi Antonelli colliding into the back of Max Verstappen, who is now out.

00:26:39Verstappen's last two retirements on the first lap have been when he was hit by a Mercedes.

00:26:43If you think back to the British Grand Prix in 2021, and now again with Kimi Antonelli at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.

00:26:52But Lando Norris did what he needed to do at the start.

00:26:54Did feel a bit of pressure from Oscar Piastri.

00:26:57Perhaps a slight reprieve when the safety car came out.

00:26:59Charles Leclerc being halted going into Turn 1 by Lando Norris.

00:27:05Russell was applying the pressure to Hamilton.

00:27:07Gasly's made good gains as we are back underway with the green flag.

00:27:10And Lando Norris is pushing around Turn 9.

00:27:13And we go, this Austrian Grand Prix back underway.

00:27:16Norris, Piastri, Leclerc, Hamilton, and Russell, your top five.

00:27:20Piastri's got the start he wanted, didn't he?

00:27:21We were talking about it before the race.

00:27:23He needed to clear Leclerc as quickly as possible to give him a chance of winning this race.

00:27:27And he's done it at Turn 1.

00:27:29This should be a fantastic battle up at the front.

00:27:32So in the midfield pack now, Bortoleto's hung on to that eighth place.

00:27:36Still running in the points.

00:27:38Liam Lawson, despite getting somewhat caught up in that melee, in ninth.

00:27:42We haven't seen if there's any damage.

00:27:44We've got Loro Mekis on the pit wall with us this afternoon.

00:27:47We can ask him later.

00:27:48There's a little battle further down, Harry.

00:27:50We've got the Haas against the Alpi.

00:27:52That looked like Oli Behrman having a go there.

00:27:55Behrman down in 12th.

00:27:56Colopinto up in 11th.

00:27:57And here we go, though.

00:27:58This is the sole remaining Mercedes of George Russell.

00:28:00trying it down the inside of Hamilton, squeezing him.

00:28:04Hamilton holding on to fourth place.

00:28:06But Russell's going to try and sweep around the outside.

00:28:08No, can't do it there.

00:28:10We'll have to try another way.

00:28:12But Russell is feeling fast in these early stages

00:28:15as Hamilton's actually dropped back slightly

00:28:16while defending against Russell from his teammate Leclerc up front.

00:28:21Good start from Gasly as well.

00:28:22He's up to sixth ahead of Albon.

00:28:24Bortoleto, as you mentioned, Karun doing well.

00:28:25Lawson and Alonso sneaking into that top ten.

00:28:30Yeah, this is a replay of down three.

00:28:32This was the half, I think.

00:28:33Yeah, this was Colin Behrman.

00:28:35And Colin Behrman.

00:28:36And Colin Behrman actually has risen up to 11th spot

00:28:39and just forcing Behrman around the long way.

00:28:42Behrman's still behind.

00:28:44DRS will be enabled now as George Russell pops the rear wing open

00:28:47as does Lewis Hamilton, as does Charles Leclerc in front of him.

00:28:51So up at the front, Oscar Piastri's kept the gap under a second

00:28:55despite his teammate.

00:28:58Displode the door and break it.

00:29:01That's what George Russell has to say about that move.

00:29:04Piastri has DRS on Lando Norris.

00:29:07Will he try anything down the inside as Max Verstappen makes his way

00:29:10back to the paddock out of this race on home turf.

00:29:14Kimi Antonelli also walking back after such a high in Canada.

00:29:19Getting that podium now won't even score points.

00:29:22Here we go then, back up front.

00:29:24So Piastri did have DRS, got close, but obviously didn't make the move.

00:29:27No, you know, there's a gap sitting at about six tenths of a second.

00:29:31So this track is a contrast of two halves in the race.

00:29:36From turns one to four, being in the slipstream, being in the DRS,

00:29:40is of a massive benefit.

00:29:41Look, Piastri comes out of the last corner nine tenths behind,

00:29:44so that keeps him just within DRS.

00:29:47He'll pick up the benefit now on these next three straights.

00:29:50But then from turn four to turn ten, it's a negative.

00:29:53You're overheating the tyres, you're cooking the tyres,

00:29:56especially the front through those long left-hand corners

00:29:59in the middle part of the lap.

00:30:00So it's a balance set.

00:30:02Just a quick one on Antonelli.

00:30:03I fear he's going to end up with a grip penalty.

00:30:06The stewards will investigate after the race.

00:30:08I fear he's going to carry a grip penalty

00:30:10when we get to Silverstone next weekend.

00:30:12Yeah, that is under investigation.

00:30:14And closing down the inside.

00:30:15And Oscar Piastri has another look into turn four.

00:30:18Norris sees him coming.

00:30:20The two McLarens fighting early doors here at the Austrian Grand Prix.

00:30:25They collided last time out in Canada,

00:30:27but this is proper wheel-to-wheel racing this time.

00:30:30And Oscar knows he needs to have a go soon

00:30:33before his front tyres cook, as I was just saying before.

00:30:36So he was a long way behind at that stage.

00:30:40I don't think that was a really serious attempt.

00:30:43But what is serious is he's shown Lando his intent.

00:30:46He's shown, I'll tell you what, mate,

00:30:48you can't just take this at your own pace here.

00:30:51I am going to be sniffing.

00:30:53And this is forcing Lando, perhaps, to run at a quicker pace.

00:30:57Look, they've already pulled 2.8 seconds over Charles Leclerc.

00:31:02Fastest lap as well last time around for Oscar Piastri.

00:31:04That's 7 tenths between them.

00:31:05That's around the delta advantage DRS gives you,

00:31:08that drag reduction system.

00:31:10But you need to try, if you're going to make a move,

00:31:12get it done before turn four,

00:31:14because then you get stuck behind the car in front,

00:31:16coming through the fast turn six and seven,

00:31:19trapped in that dirty air.

00:31:20Yeah, Oscar went a bit deep at turn three.

00:31:22Didn't get a good exit out of that corner,

00:31:24and that's given Lando a little bit of breathing space.

00:31:28Do a call on the racing situation.

00:31:30That's a clear instruction.

00:31:31You're free to race.

00:31:32You see how you want to play it, Oscar.

00:31:34And that's great.

00:31:35And hats off to McLaren.

00:31:37They're letting these drivers, you know, have a go and fight,

00:31:41and that's what we want as neutral spectators watching on.

00:31:45So the incident involving Colopinto and Behrman,

00:31:47we saw a little earlier, it's been noted.

00:31:49Behrman now ahead of Colopinto,

00:31:51just on the fringes of the points,

00:31:54which is currently occupied by Fernando Alonso

00:31:56in that top ten position,

00:31:58as we embark on another lap, eight of 70.

00:32:02Oscar again within DRS, again,

00:32:04nine tenths of a second across the line,

00:32:06so he'll get that benefit.

00:32:08Watch the wing pop open now

00:32:10as he goes over that line.

00:32:12The reason, Harry,

00:32:13that he wants to get past is twofold.

00:32:16One is, as I mentioned,

00:32:17he doesn't want to overcook his front tyres,

00:32:18but he also wants to get ahead in the first stint

00:32:20because I suspect, as most teams play it,

00:32:24McLaren will give the lead car priority

00:32:26when it comes to strategy.

00:32:28And if Norris is allowed to pit first

00:32:30at every pit stop,

00:32:32he's going to pick up a big benefit

00:32:34in terms of track position.

00:32:35So Oscar wants to try and get this done quickly

00:32:38so he could be in that position, of course.

00:32:41And he'll be wanting that clean air desperately as well.

00:32:44We know the McLarens and their strong advantage

00:32:45of keeping their tyres in shape better than the rest,

00:32:48but even in this extreme heat,

00:32:50we've got track temperature at the moment,

00:32:5150.4 degrees, air temperature 30.6 degrees.

00:32:55It's the hottest it's been all weekend long.

00:32:58The longer Piastri spends behind his teammate Norris

00:33:01in that dirty, turbulent air,

00:33:03the longer the advantage goes for Lando Norris,

00:33:06who will have the cleaner air in front of him.

00:33:08But at a track like this,

00:33:10one of the shortest on the calendar,

00:33:12you very quickly come across some lapped traffic,

00:33:14which could also play a factor

00:33:16a little later on in the race.

00:33:17So the field has spread out a bit, hasn't it?

00:33:19Behind, you know, Leclerc 3.3,

00:33:22behind Piastri now.

00:33:23Hamilton's dropped back.

00:33:24Russell, Gasly, all spread back.

00:33:27But Gasly on those soft tyres

00:33:29will start to run into trouble.

00:33:32And Bernie, maybe we'll come to you here,

00:33:34because Gasly on those soft tyres,

00:33:36he's got four cars behind him

00:33:38on the mediums,

00:33:39and he's a little bit of a stop in the bottle, isn't he?

00:33:42Yes, definitely, Corinne.

00:33:44You know, Gasly will start to see degradation

00:33:46on those soft tyres much earlier than the medium runners.

00:33:49And to that point, we've already seen Hajar

00:33:51hit off the soft tyres as he started the race on

00:33:54and put on mediums.

00:33:55I was trying to see if there was any damage there

00:33:56that caused that.

00:33:57He had dropped back through the field.

00:33:59But then I think it was just an opportunity

00:34:01to give the soft a go at the start,

00:34:03but then when it didn't work,

00:34:04get on in the mediums

00:34:05that you think are going to be much, much more consistent.

00:34:08And he may begin, like you say, Gasly,

00:34:11may begin to come to car up in that bottle.

00:34:13But Albon, two positions ahead of him,

00:34:15also appears to be managing quite a lot as well.

00:34:17One position ahead.

00:34:18Thanks, Cody.

00:34:18I think we're about to see those tyres

00:34:20starting to give up for Pierre Gasly

00:34:22as no longer the cork in the bottle.

00:34:24Alex Albon has found a way through on Gasly

00:34:27just a few moments ago.

00:34:29So Albon now up into sixth spot in the Williams.

00:34:32Gasly now down to seventh.

00:34:33And he's got Bortoleto all over the back of him

00:34:36and closing in the Sauber

00:34:37as the battle up front continues.

00:34:40Piastri, four tenths of a second away once again

00:34:43with the benefit of DRS making their way downhill

00:34:47towards turn four.

00:34:49The rear wing flies open.

00:34:50Will he try a late dive down the inside?

00:34:53Norris moves to the middle to defend.

00:34:55That's going to compromise him slightly on the exit.

00:34:57Can Piastri get a better run out of the corner?

00:35:00But now it's very difficult to make an overtake here

00:35:03through the left-hander of turn six.

00:35:05Line astern, much tighter for Piastri.

00:35:07Yeah, he's choosing a tighter line there

00:35:10to just get a bit of clear air onto his front wing.

00:35:13He is not letting Lando Norris relax.

00:35:16I mean, we've talked about this weekend.

00:35:18Lando having the upper hand

00:35:19throughout free practice,

00:35:20throughout qualifying.

00:35:22But Oscar and Andrea Stella was telling us

00:35:25before the race, Harry, wasn't he,

00:35:26that Oscar's someone who builds up

00:35:29and he's just piling on the pressure.

00:35:32Piling on the pressure.

00:35:33And only half a second between them across the line

00:35:35to watch this.

00:35:36Watch this.

00:35:37Oh, I think Norris ran a little bit deep there.

00:35:39And we've seen on previous laps

00:35:40when it was 9 tenths, he couldn't get past.

00:35:43Watch this, Harry.

00:35:43Here comes Oscar Piastri.

00:35:45Lando Norris moves to the inside.

00:35:46Side by side for the two McLarens.

00:35:48Piastri through.

00:35:50Norris will try and fight back

00:35:51and get the undercut.

00:35:52Can he get on the throttle earlier?

00:35:54It's line of turn for the two McLarens.

00:35:57Now Norris will get the DRS

00:35:59and blasts back past Piastri.

00:36:01But Piastri keeps his foot in it.

00:36:03Who's going to break later?

00:36:05Lock up from Piastri.

00:36:07Norris back through and into the lead.

00:36:10What racing in these early stages.

00:36:12Piastri coming back.

00:36:13He's going for it.

00:36:14Down the inside.

00:36:15Not at turn 6, surely.

00:36:17For Oscar Piastri.

00:36:19No.

00:36:19Tried it, though.

00:36:20But these two, having a brilliant battle

00:36:23as Norris just a little bit twitchy on the exit.

00:36:26But lives to fight another day.

00:36:28But before you know it,

00:36:29we're going to have another DRS zone

00:36:30in a couple of corners.

00:36:32Zac Brown is in here this weekend.

00:36:33I'd love to see what his heart rate is like

00:36:36watching back wherever he is on television.

00:36:38across the line.

00:36:407 tenths between them.

00:36:41So Piastri is still going to be close enough,

00:36:44I think, if he gets a good run out of one

00:36:47and then again out of three.

00:36:50Here we go, then.

00:36:51Andrea Stella watching nervously on the pit wall.

00:36:54Lando Norris missed out on FP1.

00:36:56And since FP2, he has topped every session.

00:36:58But Oscar Piastri has been there or thereabouts,

00:37:01but normally a little bit behind his teammate.

00:37:03But is so good at building incrementally

00:37:06throughout a weekend,

00:37:07showing why right now

00:37:09he is leading this championship.

00:37:11But it is far from over yet.

00:37:13The two McLarens being allowed to race.

00:37:16We love to see it.

00:37:17And after pushing hard on that last lap,

00:37:19I wonder if he just needs

00:37:20to cool down on this lap.

00:37:22Still within half a second.

00:37:23And Rego again next time around.

00:37:25Yep, this is riding on board with Gabriel Portoleto.

00:37:28He's alongside Pierre Gasly down into turn four.

00:37:32Great move.

00:37:32Locking up slightly the inside front.

00:37:35Gasly still hanging on around the outside.

00:37:38As they head down to turn six.

00:37:40But Portoleto's got the inside line.

00:37:42He's got to just calm the car down,

00:37:44get it slow.

00:37:45And he does beautifully well there.

00:37:47Rookie driver, of course,

00:37:49and qualified into the top ten

00:37:51for the first time in his career.

00:37:53Running strongly in seven.

00:37:54Yep, Gasly losing a couple of positions

00:37:56in the last couple of laps.

00:37:57Trying to eke out life

00:37:59on those soft tyres.

00:38:00Now down to eight.

00:38:01Liam Lawson, though,

00:38:02will be the next driver

00:38:02to have a pop at the Frenchman

00:38:04ahead of him.

00:38:05Fernando Alonso holds on

00:38:07to that final point score

00:38:08at the moment

00:38:09as Gasly finally calls it quits

00:38:11and comes into the pits

00:38:12to relieve himself

00:38:13of those soft tyres.

00:38:14So too, Niko Holcombog

00:38:15from the back

00:38:16also coming in to the pits.

00:38:19Back with the DRS

00:38:20for Oscar Piastri.

00:38:22There's a bit of a ban

00:38:23coming on the front right tyre,

00:38:25you can see,

00:38:26of Oscar Piastri's McLeod.

00:38:28And that's what I was saying

00:38:29before, that's the race

00:38:29as Gasly finally pitch

00:38:31to get rid of those soft tyres

00:38:33on lap 13.

00:38:34Bernie.

00:38:35Yes, I was just going to pick up

00:38:37on that McLaren here.

00:38:38It's that back and forth

00:38:39that we see between

00:38:39Norris and Piastri.

00:38:40They are doing something

00:38:41very different

00:38:42to the Ferraris

00:38:43and Russell behind

00:38:44in particular.

00:38:45They're all talking

00:38:45about management.

00:38:47Management through turn nine,

00:38:48management in the high speed.

00:38:50And the two McLarens

00:38:50are battling right.

00:38:51And we've talked all year

00:38:53about their temperature management,

00:38:54how they can keep it cool.

00:38:56And that is playing out here

00:38:57where they're just

00:38:57letting them fight it out.

00:38:58is that.

00:39:00And thank you, McLaren.

00:39:01Thank you, McLaren.

00:39:02Is that what is making

00:39:03the difference right now

00:39:05in the heat of Austria

00:39:07that the McLarens

00:39:08can do battle

00:39:09while the two Ferraris

00:39:11declare 4.7 seconds back.

00:39:14Management in this early

00:39:16part of the race

00:39:16as Albon comes in

00:39:17to the pits

00:39:18from the top six

00:39:19to get rid of

00:39:20his medium tyres.

00:39:22Yeah, Piastri's engineer

00:39:23Tom Stelda

00:39:24has been on

00:39:24to him saying

00:39:25the gearbox temperature

00:39:26is getting a little bit hot

00:39:27by following Lando.

00:39:29But stick with the DRS

00:39:30is helping.

00:39:31So once again,

00:39:33Piastri having a little snip.

00:39:34What he'll need to do

00:39:35is occasionally

00:39:36balance it off

00:39:38by pulling out

00:39:40of the slipstream,

00:39:41pulling out of the benefit

00:39:42he would get

00:39:43from the slipstream

00:39:43by trying to get

00:39:44some clean air

00:39:45into his car

00:39:47to just try and bring

00:39:48the temperature down.

00:39:49But as a racing driver

00:39:51versus Twiki to do,

00:39:53Oli Behrman

00:39:53having a look

00:39:54around the outside here.

00:39:55This was a little earlier.

00:39:56Oh, no, it wasn't actually.

00:39:58I think this is

00:39:58most recently.

00:39:59The incident between

00:40:00Behrman and Colopinto

00:40:01was noted

00:40:02that's not being investigated

00:40:03any further.

00:40:04And then against the other

00:40:05Alpine of Pierre Gasly,

00:40:08Oli Behrman

00:40:08making his way up the order

00:40:10that he has since

00:40:11come into the pits.

00:40:12Watch this, watch this,

00:40:13there we go.

00:40:13Piastri moves to the inside.

00:40:15He's waiting.

00:40:16He's waiting.

00:40:16Sorry, Harry.

00:40:17He's being smart here.

00:40:18He's thinking.

00:40:18Turn one isn't the place

00:40:19I want to do it.

00:40:20Let's wait.

00:40:21Pop the wing open.

00:40:22He is incredibly close.

00:40:24But in the dirty air,

00:40:25even through turn one,

00:40:27he's lost a little bit of ground.

00:40:28Norris had a slightly better exit.

00:40:30We'll move to the inside.

00:40:32Just drifts left again.

00:40:34All about the exit

00:40:35then out of three

00:40:36as we run downhill

00:40:37towards four.

00:40:38There's the DRS line

00:40:39for Oscar Piastri.

00:40:40The rear wing

00:40:41flies open.

00:40:427 tenths of an advantage

00:40:44over his teammate.

00:40:45Norris will defend

00:40:46going downhill.

00:40:47Can Piastri find any way through?

00:40:49No.

00:40:49Has to just sit and focus.

00:40:51But again,

00:40:52a tighter line

00:40:53for Oscar Piastri.

00:40:55Let's see what he does

00:40:56coming through

00:40:56the left-hander

00:40:57of turn six.

00:40:58So much tighter

00:40:59to the apex

00:41:00than Lando Norris.

00:41:01But cannot make a way

00:41:03through there.

00:41:04We'll have to buy this time

00:41:05once more.

00:41:06But as the more laps

00:41:07go by,

00:41:08the more degradation

00:41:10Oscar Piastri

00:41:11will be feeling.

00:41:13Norris will be getting it too,

00:41:14but will be benefiting

00:41:15from having that clean air.

00:41:17But we have found that

00:41:18we now have had

00:41:19a fair few pit stoppers

00:41:20so we could well see

00:41:21some lap traffic

00:41:22come into the equation.

00:41:24So Piastri

00:41:25still within a DRS.

00:41:26Yeah, I mean,

00:41:27just looking at it here,

00:41:29it's that sort of

00:41:30six, seven tenths,

00:41:31isn't it?

00:41:32The gap that he's coming

00:41:33over the line.

00:41:35And Norris so far

00:41:36hasn't put a foot wrong.

00:41:37We haven't seen a lock-up.

00:41:38We haven't seen him

00:41:39go wide,

00:41:41you know,

00:41:42at the critical points

00:41:43of turns one or three.

00:41:45And that's how

00:41:46he's just able

00:41:47to soak up

00:41:49the pressure

00:41:50and deal with it.

00:41:50But once again,

00:41:51down to turn three,

00:41:52half a second the gap

00:41:53as he exited

00:41:54that right-hander

00:41:56at the top of the hill.

00:41:57Not quite enough.

00:41:58So Oscar needs to be

00:41:59around three and a half

00:42:00to four tenths.

00:42:03We need Laika

00:42:04all corners,

00:42:05every lap.

00:42:05That's what I am doing,

00:42:07Brian.

00:42:08That is what I do.

00:42:11Laika,

00:42:11lift and coast

00:42:12for Charles Leclerc.

00:42:14That's what he's trying to do.

00:42:15He's in third

00:42:16at the moment,

00:42:16adrift of this battle

00:42:17up front.

00:42:18His teammate

00:42:18another few seconds

00:42:19behind this.

00:42:22Orlando Norris

00:42:23did run wide there.

00:42:25He's been flirting with it.

00:42:26Coming through

00:42:26the final corner,

00:42:28that really slowed him down

00:42:30into the gravel.

00:42:31Ted,

00:42:31what have you got?

00:42:32A couple of things.

00:42:33First of all,

00:42:33it's gone from bad

00:42:34to worse for Williams.

00:42:35I think you can see

00:42:35on your screen now.

00:42:36Alex Albon

00:42:37has got a car problem.

00:42:38He made a pit stop

00:42:39and then immediately

00:42:40went out

00:42:41and they said

00:42:41that they had to

00:42:42retire the car.

00:42:43So obviously

00:42:43some temperatures

00:42:44have gone.

00:42:45Lots of discussion

00:42:46on the McLaren pit wall.

00:42:47Interrupt me

00:42:47if there's a move.

00:42:48But I think Lando,

00:42:49while he's great defending,

00:42:50is quite reasonably saying,

00:42:51look,

00:42:52you're wanting me

00:42:52to get my stint length

00:42:53up to about lap 20,

00:42:55but I'm having to use up

00:42:56my tyres

00:42:57defending from Oscar.

00:42:58But they're discussing it

00:42:59all on the McLaren pit wall.

00:43:01Tense as it is.

00:43:02Tense again

00:43:03on track.

00:43:04Piastri closing

00:43:05and closing,

00:43:06but just not able

00:43:07to find that little bit more

00:43:09to slide it down the inside.

00:43:11Let's hear from Norris.

00:43:12Lando opportunity

00:43:13made to turn six apex.

00:43:15It makes it harder

00:43:15for the other car.

00:43:16So this is what we saw earlier

00:43:18is Mando taking

00:43:18that wider line,

00:43:19Oscar getting the free air

00:43:20to get to that inside apex.

00:43:24And, yeah,

00:43:25a bit of coaching

00:43:26coming from

00:43:27Will Joseph

00:43:28on the pit wall.

00:43:28I think at the end

00:43:30they get to lap 20,

00:43:32if that is the first thing

00:43:33they were looking at,

00:43:34is not that far away,

00:43:36point A.

00:43:36Point B,

00:43:37Leclerc 5.3 seconds behind.

00:43:41McLaren have a buffer

00:43:42and, you know,

00:43:43good on them

00:43:43to let the cars race

00:43:44as Yuki Tsunoda

00:43:45throws it up the inside

00:43:47of the Aston Martin.

00:43:48Bit of wheel banging

00:43:49with Lance Stroll there.

00:43:51Stunned some front wing damage

00:43:53to the Red Bull.

00:43:54And that has been noted

00:43:56by race control

00:43:57causing a collision.

00:44:00Right, that gap

00:44:01looks like it's gone

00:44:02a little bit bigger to me.

00:44:03We've lost, by the way,

00:44:05if you're just joining us late,

00:44:06signs didn't even start this race.

00:44:07Kimi Antonelli on lap one

00:44:09went into Max Verstappen

00:44:10late on the brakes

00:44:11and took the champion out.

00:44:13And Alex Albon

00:44:14just retiring now.

00:44:15That is three consecutive retirements

00:44:18for Alex Albon

00:44:18and his Williams.

00:44:19And while they are out,

00:44:21we are enjoying

00:44:22a fantastic battle.

00:44:24It's keeping us

00:44:24right on the edge

00:44:25of our seats

00:44:26between Lando Norris

00:44:27and Oscar Piastri.

00:44:29Lando Norris

00:44:30who started on pole.

00:44:31Piastri,

00:44:32who felt like he was wrong

00:44:33slightly maybe

00:44:34of a position

00:44:35in qualifying

00:44:35thanks to a late yellow flag

00:44:37but has not

00:44:38left the mirrors

00:44:39of Norris

00:44:40since lap one.

00:44:41So we saw the gap

00:44:42come up on the screen

00:44:43between Norris

00:44:44and Bortoletto

00:44:45of 19.6 seconds.

00:44:47So the reason

00:44:47that's come up

00:44:48is the pit stop

00:44:49is around 20 seconds here.

00:44:5120 and a half

00:44:52is sort of where

00:44:53we're expecting people to be.

00:44:55If Russell does pit

00:44:56and the McLarens

00:44:57get a slightly bigger gap

00:44:59over Bortoletto

00:45:00that opens up

00:45:01a nice window

00:45:03between Bortoletto

00:45:04and Lewis Hamilton

00:45:05where they could

00:45:06potentially do

00:45:07their first pit stop

00:45:08for Norris

00:45:08and Piastri

00:45:09and still come out

00:45:10in front of the pack

00:45:11in nice clean air.

00:45:12So that's why

00:45:13that gap is relevant

00:45:14as Russell does pit

00:45:15as we can see

00:45:16on the left-hand

00:45:16Sergio Street.

00:45:17Sole remaining

00:45:18Mercedes

00:45:19of George Russell

00:45:20then coming in

00:45:21for his stop

00:45:22will get rid

00:45:23of those medium tyres

00:45:24as the Mercedes

00:45:25mechanics get to work.

00:45:27Fairly quick stop

00:45:272.4 seconds

00:45:28and McLarens

00:45:30on track

00:45:31Piastri closing in

00:45:32under braking again.

00:45:34And what I particularly

00:45:35enjoy that they are

00:45:36letting them race

00:45:36and even a bit

00:45:37of driver coaching

00:45:38from Will Joseph

00:45:39last time around

00:45:40with taking that

00:45:40title line to the apex.

00:45:41They are happy

00:45:43to let this racing

00:45:44play out

00:45:44despite the crash

00:45:45that happened

00:45:46between them

00:45:46in Canada

00:45:47even though

00:45:47that wasn't

00:45:48due to the racing.

00:45:50So Lando

00:45:50the gap to Bortoletto

00:45:51is 20.3

00:45:53so we're happy

00:45:53to pit

00:45:54if we're going

00:45:55to get passed

00:45:56by Oscar

00:45:56we would pit before him

00:45:57if not

00:45:58we just keep going.

00:46:00If we get passed

00:46:01by Oscar

00:46:01we pit before him

00:46:02so if Oscar

00:46:04passes him

00:46:05they let Lando

00:46:06undercut Oscar

00:46:07back

00:46:07that's the message

00:46:08I'm hearing

00:46:09Bernie

00:46:09what are you

00:46:10that's unusual

00:46:11isn't it?

00:46:11I heard

00:46:12something different

00:46:13and you know

00:46:14you're making me

00:46:14questions

00:46:14I thought they meant

00:46:15if they were ahead

00:46:16of Oscar

00:46:17they would box

00:46:18first

00:46:18and if Oscar

00:46:20overtakes

00:46:20they'll remain

00:46:21on track

00:46:22so they'll keep

00:46:22going

00:46:23so if they can

00:46:24remain ahead

00:46:24they'll

00:46:25they'll pay

00:46:25first

00:46:26so maybe

00:46:28I heard it

00:46:28wrong then

00:46:29Ted

00:46:30down to you

00:46:31so George Russell

00:46:32trying the undercut

00:46:33on the Ferraris

00:46:34doesn't have it

00:46:35at the moment

00:46:36but they're keeping

00:46:37an eye on it

00:46:37as Esteban Ocon

00:46:38comes in

00:46:39so yeah

00:46:40George

00:46:40oh sorry Ted

00:46:41Piastri's trying to

00:46:42down the inside

00:46:43at four

00:46:43locks up that front

00:46:45right

00:46:45almost into the back

00:46:47of him

00:46:47Norris

00:46:48manages to hold

00:46:49on to the lead

00:46:50but Piastri pushing

00:46:51there he knows

00:46:52that now is the time

00:46:53with pit stops

00:46:54imminent

00:46:54and sliding out of

00:46:55the corner

00:46:56for Norris

00:46:57so close

00:46:58for the two

00:46:58McLarens

00:46:59and there

00:46:59on cue

00:47:00the lead car

00:47:01Lando Norris

00:47:02told to box box

00:47:04come in

00:47:04for his first pit stop

00:47:05and that's why

00:47:06Oscar was desperately

00:47:07trying to get up front

00:47:07because he wants

00:47:08to get priority

00:47:09in terms of

00:47:10the position

00:47:11it's not happened

00:47:12Lando will get

00:47:13to pit first

00:47:14Lando will get

00:47:14fresh boots

00:47:15and will get

00:47:16the benefit

00:47:16of a fast out

00:47:18lap

00:47:18but of course

00:47:19the pit stop

00:47:20has got to go

00:47:21smoothly

00:47:21McLaren have a little

00:47:22bump by the way

00:47:23on the way

00:47:23into their pit

00:47:24box

00:47:24for those of you

00:47:25who joined us

00:47:25in free practice

00:47:2610 for showing

00:47:26a little bit

00:47:28of hesitation

00:47:293.1

00:47:30for Norris

00:47:31so let's remember

00:47:32that time

00:47:33for when Oscar

00:47:34comes in

00:47:34presumably

00:47:35on the next lap

00:47:37so that's sure

00:47:38it's going to be

00:47:39tight with Gabrielle

00:47:40Portoletto

00:47:40look at that

00:47:41green Sauber

00:47:41coming through

00:47:42now

00:47:42you get fed

00:47:43out on the exit

00:47:44of turn two

00:47:45he should manage

00:47:46to do it

00:47:46and get up to pace

00:47:47Norris then does

00:47:48get fed out

00:47:49into that nice

00:47:50gap between

00:47:51Lewis Hamilton

00:47:51and the Sauber

00:47:53of Portoletto

00:47:54he's gone on

00:47:54to the hard

00:47:55tyre now

00:47:56so in

00:47:56for a long

00:47:57stint

00:47:57for Lando

00:47:59Norris

00:47:59now Piastri

00:48:00is free

00:48:00to try

00:48:01and push

00:48:01with whatever

00:48:02tyre life

00:48:02he might have

00:48:03left

00:48:03in that

00:48:05Pirelli

00:48:05rubber

00:48:05let's see

00:48:07your pace

00:48:07in free air

00:48:08now

00:48:08understood

00:48:12let's see

00:48:12how the pace

00:48:13is

00:48:13that indicates

00:48:16to me

00:48:16they're not

00:48:16going to

00:48:16pull him

00:48:17in

00:48:17straight away

00:48:18and

00:48:18this is

00:48:19the replay

00:48:25back

00:48:25it was

00:48:26the lunge

00:48:27of all

00:48:27lunges

00:48:27let's take

00:48:28a look

00:48:28here

00:56:47final clearing

00:56:48manoeuvre

00:56:48through

00:56:49Lawson

00:56:49that

00:56:49Alonso

00:56:50Lawson

00:56:50he

00:56:51actually

00:56:51ended up

00:56:52pitting

00:56:52behind

00:56:52the crowd

00:56:53was unhappy

00:56:53with that

00:56:54immediately

00:56:54on the

00:56:55pit wall

00:56:55saying

00:56:55how we

00:56:56managed

00:56:56to pit

00:56:57ourselves

00:56:57between

00:56:57two cars

00:56:58that have

00:56:58DRS

00:56:59from each

00:56:59other

00:56:59Hamilton

00:57:00now has

00:57:00to go

00:57:01through

00:57:01that

00:57:01pain

00:57:01of those

00:57:02two

00:57:02cars

00:57:02Ferrari

00:57:03pit wall

00:57:03said

00:57:04that was

00:57:04for optimum

00:57:05strategy

00:57:06optimum

00:57:07race

00:57:07time

00:57:08and the

00:57:08big

00:57:09point

00:57:09for that

00:57:10is

00:57:10that's

00:57:11much

00:57:11closer

00:57:11to what

00:57:12Piastri

00:57:12has done

00:57:12so Piastri

00:57:13if the

00:57:14Ferrari

00:57:14pit wall

00:57:15strategy

00:57:15is right

00:57:15is on

00:57:16a much

00:57:16more

00:57:16optimum

00:57:17race

00:57:17so maybe

00:57:17at the

00:57:18end of

00:57:18the race

00:57:19we'll end

00:57:19up much

00:57:19closer

00:57:19than ours

00:57:20but what

00:57:21do you

00:57:21think Bernie

00:57:22I mean

00:57:22because

00:57:23there's one

00:57:24thing looking

00:57:25at the optimum

00:57:25numbers

00:57:26but there's

00:57:27also

00:57:28clearly

00:57:28driving around

00:57:29in traffic

00:57:30is not

00:57:30great

00:57:30is it

00:57:31yeah

00:57:31I think

00:57:31in that

00:57:32case

00:57:32they were

00:57:33very close

00:57:33they were

00:57:33only clear

00:57:34and lost

00:57:34in two

00:57:35tenths of

00:57:35laps

00:57:35it was

00:57:36going to

00:57:36be a

00:57:36significant

00:57:37number

00:57:37more laps

00:57:38in order

00:57:39to clear

00:57:39that traffic

00:57:40you never

00:57:40know

00:57:41with

00:57:41Lawson

00:57:42and

00:57:42Alonzo

00:57:42how long

00:57:43you're

00:57:43going to

00:57:43extend

00:57:43that

00:57:44stint

00:57:44are

00:57:45they

00:57:45targeting

00:57:45a

00:57:45one

00:57:46stop

00:57:46so I

00:57:46think

00:57:47for

00:57:47Ferrari

00:57:47side

00:57:47it was

00:57:48too

00:57:48much

00:57:48of a

00:57:48risk

00:57:48to

00:57:49keep

00:57:49going

00:57:49and

00:57:50you

00:57:50want

00:57:50to

00:57:50have

00:57:50fresh

00:57:52he's

00:57:52gone

00:57:52through

00:57:52pretty

00:57:53quickly

00:57:53he's

00:57:53not lost

00:57:54that much

00:57:54time

00:57:54with

00:57:55it

00:57:55they've

00:57:55extended

00:57:56what

00:57:56they

00:57:56thought

00:57:56was

00:57:57possible
