00:00And we're ready, and we are set, for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

00:05It's round 19, it's lights out, away we go.

00:07Bottas gets away well ahead of Verstappen, but Verstappen is coming back at him.

00:11And Lando Norris touches, and he's got a puncture on his rear left tyre

00:15as he clashed with a Ferrari. Verstappen takes the lead.

00:17He's squeezed out Valtteri, Bottas goes through turn two.

00:20Perez is in third, then comes the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc

00:24as we head down the Retro Apostle now, and he's getting a decent slipstream.

00:28It's Charles Leclerc, but he's been forced over to the left-hand side.

00:30It's Verstappen leads from Bottas, from Perez, Leclerc, and then Sainz.

00:34And the two more eyes go wide, and Bottas as well.

00:37Bottas wide, it's a Red Bull 1-2 there.

00:40So down into the tricky breakings on his downhill into turn four.

00:45And Valtteri Bottas defending hard, but somehow they all made it through there.

00:49Sadly for Lando Norris, he's got the entire lap to go with a puncture.

00:53Hamilton is up to seventh, we saw him through Ferradura passing there, Pierre Gasly.

00:57Yeah, I could do nothing to avoid Lando there.

01:00I could twist.

01:02Full throttle, full blast, all the way to turn one, and he is gaining, gaining, gaining in the slipstream

01:07of Carlos Sainz, pulls over to the inside. Sainz isn't going to fight that one.

01:12And Hamilton, if he is to win this race, in the space of two laps, has halved the arrears that he needs to.

01:19Yuki Tsunoda going down the inside, but there just wasn't the space, and that's a lot of bodywork coming off there.

01:25Yeah, he wasn't looking at all.

01:27So he inverted the cars in turn one.

01:30That was Valtteri slowing down and obeying those team orders.

01:33Yes, and he had slowed down a lot, didn't he?

01:34So he's side by side there.

01:38A little touch, gets a bit trigger happy with the throttle, and that's where the wing's gone.

01:45And he's just trying to break the slipstream now, moving around a lot, probably a bit too much if the truth be known.

01:51And there's Hamilton, but trying to go down the outside, is he going to sweep through?

01:55Can he keep it on the road?

01:57He can, he's done it.

01:58Hamilton, who's been making a habit of going down the inside into turn one, this time dances around the outside,

02:04and he has done it.

02:05He's cleared Sergio Perez, who's got now DRS, to try and fight his way back.

02:10They're going to go wheel to wheel into Ciro de Lago,

02:12and Sergio Perez repasses Lewis Hamilton and reclaims that second place.

02:17Inside, outside, outside, inside, which way is Lewis Hamilton going to go?

02:22To the left, to the right, it's going to be to the right, it's going to be around the outside,

02:26and for the second lap, running the crowd, cheer as Lewis Hamilton passes Sergio Perez.

02:31This time around, he looks a bit further ahead, through the Curva d'Ossol, to try and stay ahead.

02:37More debris coming off the Aston Martin of Lance stroll.

02:42Bottas is coming into the pits.

02:44Cheap stop for him, isn't it?

02:45Very cheap stop.

02:46How is this going to work out for him?

02:48Well, it's going to get him ahead of Sergio Perez, that is for sure.

02:52Here comes Hamilton, on Max Verstappen, down towards turn one.

02:56Verstappen moved and cut out any possibility of an overtake down the inside.

03:01Yeah, but Hamilton will get another helping of the DRS down this back straight.

03:06There it goes.

03:06And crucially, Martinier is closer than he was on the previous lap,

03:09and here goes Lewis Hamilton.

03:11He was last at the start of the sprint.

03:12He's trying to take the lead from Verstappen, but he is force-wired by Verstappen,

03:17and Verstappen himself has to go off the track.

03:19Did Verstappen drive Hamilton off the track?

03:22He didn't run into him, but Mercedes will think that.

03:25Michael, that is all about letting them race.

03:28That's all about letting them race.

03:30No investigation necessary.

03:33They're satisfied in the stewards' room that Verstappen did nothing wrong.

03:38So, Lewis, apparently no investigation necessary for running you off track.

03:42Of course, sir. Of course.

03:45It's not working out for Mercedes at the moment.

03:47Do you stop Hamilton?

03:49Well, let's see what happens here.

03:50Just wondering if it's not been working out.

03:53Do Mercedes try anything different?

03:54But it is working out at this moment inside.

03:56Verstappen is weaving all over the road,

03:58and he's going to force Hamilton wide again,

04:00and Hamilton can't quite get past on the entry into Turn 4.

04:04Thought for one moment about the old switcheroo there.

04:06Force Verstappen a little bit deeper.

04:08Cut through on the inside.

04:10Didn't happen for him.

04:12The battle resumed as they go into Turn 1,

04:15and Hamilton's gaining, gaining, gaining on Max Verstappen here.

04:19Couldn't pull the move off on Verstappen that he did on Lando Norris in the sprint yesterday.

04:23Norris didn't really fight that one, to be fair.

04:24But he forced Max to go late into the corner,

04:28and he's got a better exit.

04:29Hamilton with a much better exit down to Turn 4.

04:32I said, is it third time lucky?

04:34Hamilton pulls ahead of Verstappen before they get to the corner.

04:37The crowd go absolutely wild.

04:39It is third time lucky for Lewis Hamilton.

04:42He was 20th and last on the grid for the sprint.

04:45Here on lap 59 of the Grand Prix,

04:48he has gone from last all the way to first.

04:51What a drive this has been from Lewis Hamilton this weekend.

04:56Gasly's got Esteban Ocon in his sights.

04:58The two Frenchmen going to Turn 1 together.

05:00They almost collide.

05:02And that, by the briefest of margins,

05:04was a lucky escape, I think, for both of them going into Turn 1.

05:07Gasly makes his way up into 8th place,

05:10but they've both got DRS here,

05:12and Ocon is going to fight this one back again.

05:14Esteban Ocon's never scored a point here before.

05:16He has to yield and concede to Pierre Gasly into Turn 4.

05:22Gasly absolutely flying towards him.

05:24Here comes the Gasman!

05:26And Fernando Alonso manages to stay ahead.

05:29Now, where does he point that Alpine to try and defend into Decido de Lago?

05:34He's not got DRS, Fernando Alonso, to help his battle.

05:38Gasly has, giving him an extra speed advantage.

05:41Gasly's going to go all the way around the outside, and does so.

05:45Lewis Hamilton now has the chequer flag in sight for his 101st win.

05:51Hamilton, against the odds, has come home to win the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

05:56What a victory for Lewis Hamilton!

05:58He's not ready to loosen his grip on that championship trophy.

06:02Not just yet.

06:04And with three races to go, is it very much game on, back at the top.

06:09And we look to see what Sergio Perez is doing.

06:12He's going for that fastest lap.

06:13He was fourth, he remains fourth, but he goes fastest with a 1.11.0.

06:18We move on then to Qatar, in a week's time, after a hugely eventful weekend here at Interlagos.

06:26There's something about this place, it just makes history, it makes stories, it makes memories.

06:32And Hamilton's memories, that have started out looking rather grim,

06:36and the first couple of days will be full of smile and joy.

06:39He wins the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, closes the gap at the top,

06:43as we head off to the next round, in seven days' time.

06:46We'll see you next time.
