00:00МУЗЫКАЛЬНАЯ ЗАСТАВКА
00:30Hello, good afternoon and howdy.
00:41As for the 70th time in the 75-year history
00:44of the Formula One World Championship,
00:46F1 goes racing in the USA.
00:48Here we are on the outskirts of Austin
00:50for the 13th U.S. Grand Prix
00:52to take place here at the Circuit of the Americas.
00:54It's round 19.
00:56It means the final quarter of the season kicks off right here.
00:59And the lone star so far this weekend
01:01has been Max Verstappen.
01:02Two poles, one sprint win.
01:04What can he do?
01:05Over 56 laps, 3.4 miles per lap here this afternoon.
01:10Something of a conundrum.
01:11The last four Grand Prix this season
01:12have been won from pole position.
01:14But Max is the last pole sitter here in Austin
01:17to actually finish on the podium.
01:18And that was back in 2021.
01:21Temperatures going through the roof on the track again.
01:23And the medium favoured race tyre.
01:25Hard gives you duration, but it's slow at the start.
01:28The soft might yet be used.
01:30It's not been degrading quite as much
01:32as the teams might have thought
01:33when we first got here on Friday afternoon.
01:35And while it's peaceful and quiet
01:37in the fields around the circuit,
01:39we are jam-packed in the grandstands,
01:41waiting for the start of this race.
01:44And here's our grid today.
01:45Out in Q1 after crashing
01:47and the second Q1 exit in his career.
01:49Isaac Hadja starts last.
01:50Lance Stroll got a grid penalty,
01:52but he was out of Q1 anyway
01:53by the time that came into force.
01:5518th on the grid for Alex Albon.
01:57Third consecutive knockout in Q1 here.
01:59And he's got Esteban O'Connor
02:00alongside him in 17th.
02:0216th on the grid, Gabriel Bortoleto.
02:04Back-to-back Q1 knockouts for him.
02:06Franco Colopinto keeps him company.
02:08And ahead of Colopinto, his teammate Pierre Gasly
02:11lead Alpine for the first time in four races.
02:13Yuki Tsunoda starts 13th
02:15for the second race in a row.
02:1612th on the grid goes to Liam Lawson
02:18and only the second time in the last seven races.
02:21The racing bulls aren't in Q3.
02:22Nico Hülkenberg hasn't made it
02:24for a Grand Prix this season in the top 10.
02:25Fernando Alonso has.
02:27This is his 10th appearance of the top 10.
02:29Carlos Sainz alongside him and ahead.
02:31Oli Behrman, another career best start
02:34in consecutive races for him.
02:35It's 7th on the grid for Kimi Antonelli.
02:386th on the grid only
02:39for the championship leader, Oscar Piastri.
02:41Lewis Hamilton, 12th top five start
02:43in the U.S. Grand Prix.
02:45Ahead of him, his former teammate George Russell.
02:48Charles Leclerc is third,
02:49his highest start since his pole in Hungary.
02:51And the front row is the same as we had for the sprint.
02:54Lando Norris starts second.
02:56Max Verstappen with the seventh pole of the season.
02:59Is pole the place to be
03:01or is second on the grid
03:02the one that gets the best start?
03:04Because the driver starting second here in Austin Martin
03:06has led the opening lap
03:08in five of the last seven U.S. Grand Prix.
03:10Norris will need a better start
03:11than he had yesterday, if that's going to happen.
03:14But that's quite possible.
03:15Let's see.
03:16But Max Verstappen seems to have his starts under control.
03:19All three tyre compounds
03:20are represented on the grid.
03:22The most interesting one
03:24is Ferrari have split strategy.
03:26Leclerc on the soft compound tyre.
03:29He's an outlier in the top 15 on the grid.
03:31Then we've got soft
03:32and three drivers at the back of the grid
03:34trying hard compound tyres
03:35just to do something a little bit different
03:38and try to take advantage of a later safety car
03:42or what have you.
03:44So Leclerc, but they used soft tyres
03:47whereas Verstappen and Norris
03:49on the front row of the grid
03:50have got brand new medium compound tyres.
03:52It still might gain, Leclerc,
03:53half a car's length
03:55heading up to turn one
03:56and a bit more confidence,
03:58a bit faster tyre warm-up.
03:59So we'll watch out for him
04:01into the first few corners
04:02and the first lap.
04:03My spot in the tower
04:04has been taken by the trophy
04:06for today's race
04:07sitting all proud on its own
04:09and the one thing I did notice up there, Martin,
04:11was just how windy it is today
04:13here in Austin
04:14and how that wind has changed
04:15around 180 degrees.
04:17But in a way,
04:18I think the drivers will lie
04:19because that really grip-limited,
04:21tricky first sector,
04:23that snake,
04:23the endless S's
04:25is into a headwind
04:27and that's very good news
04:29for grip.
04:30But then when they steam down
04:32the back straight into turn 12,
04:33which is a bit of a downhill,
04:35bumpy braking zone,
04:36they'll have a tailwind,
04:37there's less air going over the car,
04:40they'll have less downforce,
04:41less grip.
04:42So, yeah,
04:43the wind can't follow
04:44the cars around the track,
04:45so they've got to make do.
04:47But I tell you what,
04:48the drivers,
04:49if they had to choose
04:49a wind direction,
04:50they would choose this one.
04:52And we're off
04:52for the formation lap then,
04:54which as we know
04:54is a very important lap
04:56in Formula 1.
04:56That was an excellent piece
04:57with Martin Brundle
04:59in the McLaren here
05:00in Austin
05:00explaining exactly what goes on.
05:02and whilst we watch the front row
05:04peel away up towards turn 1,
05:06Karim Chandok
05:07has got his eyes
05:08on a lot of screens
05:09at Sky Race Control.
05:10Yeah, good afternoon,
05:11Crofty, Martin,
05:12everyone listening.
05:13Lots of chat, Martin,
05:15as you said,
05:15about that wind
05:16on the radio.
05:18The good news,
05:19absolutely,
05:19this sector
05:19that we're watching
05:20on track now,
05:21the snake
05:22through the high-speed
05:23Sector 1
05:24with the wind
05:25on their nose.
05:26But lots of radio chat
05:27on the laps
05:28to the grade.
05:28Of other drivers
05:29complaining
05:29about the section
05:31from turn 12
05:32all the way
05:32to turn 19
05:34because you've got
05:34a tailwind
05:35including the final corner,
05:37the newly named
05:37Andretti corner.
05:39So that is where
05:40in terms of tyre degradation,
05:42the rear tyres
05:43are going to be
05:43really struggling.
05:44Something to watch out for.
05:45Yeah,
05:45if you fly your aerodynamic
05:47wings into a headwind,
05:48you've got more air
05:49going off over the car.
05:50If you've got a tailwind,
05:51you've got less air
05:52and they use that air
05:53to press the cars
05:54into the racetrack.
05:55So that is the difference.
05:57What really gets them
05:58is if the wind
05:59is gusting
05:59and it's a crosswind
06:01in a critical corner.
06:03It's a fascinating race
06:04this afternoon.
06:06We know what
06:06Max Verstappen's like
06:07when he's out in front.
06:08He's often
06:09absolutely unbeatable.
06:11But we don't know
06:11what the McLarens
06:12are going to be like
06:13in race trim
06:13because we didn't see it
06:14in the sprint race yesterday.
06:16So it's a voyage
06:16into the unknown for them.
06:17We don't know
06:18and they don't know
06:19with the data either.
06:20And I think also
06:21McLaren are going to have to
06:22because they haven't got
06:23any data about
06:24the wear underneath the car
06:25and we've seen cars
06:26disqualified here
06:27in the past.
06:29They'll probably have to
06:30leave a bit of a margin.
06:31They'll have to be
06:32slightly more cautious
06:33with McLaren
06:34on where they would
06:35normally have been
06:36if they'd have been able
06:36to measure the wear
06:38yesterday in the sprint race.
06:40So are Ferrari
06:40going to take advantage,
06:41go aggressive
06:42with that soft tyre start
06:43from Charles Leclerc
06:44which might promote him
06:45to a two-stop strategy.
06:47A one-pit stop strategy
06:49seems to be
06:50the fastest way
06:51to run this race
06:51but often
06:52races evolve
06:53and that could be the case
06:55here this afternoon
06:55especially
06:56with that change
06:57of wind direction.
06:59Max Verstappen
07:00on pole then.
07:01He's converted
07:0235 of his previous
07:0446 poles
07:05into victories
07:06and he's got
07:07Lando Norris
07:07right next to him.
07:09Lando Norris
07:09who went out
07:10on lap one
07:11in the sprint
07:11just like he did
07:12in Miami 2024.
07:13He bounced back
07:14the next day
07:15to win his first
07:16ever Grand Prix.
07:17Will that be the case today?
07:19And what does
07:19Oscar Piastri
07:20need to do
07:21for his own
07:21peace of mind
07:22and that championship
07:23lead from six
07:24on the grid?
07:25He needs to out of trouble
07:26but I think he should
07:27have the pace
07:28in that car
07:28to down the back straight
07:30with the help of DRS
07:31to pick
07:33one or two off
07:34but you know what?
07:35You're not.
07:36You've got to get up
07:36very early in the morning
07:37to waltz past
07:38the likes of
07:39George Russell
07:40and Lewis Hamilton.
07:41It will not be easy
07:42for Oscar Piastri.
07:44For George Russell
07:44winner last time out
07:45of course in Singapore
07:47it's his first ever
07:48top four start
07:49here in Austin.
07:51Charles Leclerc
07:51ahead of him
07:52Lewis Hamilton
07:53right behind
07:54and the winner
07:55in the last two years
07:56of this race
07:57has come from below
07:58the top three
07:59on the grid.
08:00Championship lead
08:01for Oscar Piastri
08:02whittled down
08:02by eight points
08:03yesterday.
08:05Lando Norris
08:05would dearly like
08:06to score points too
08:07and the Mercedes
08:09medical car
08:10is just chaperoning
08:11the very last starter
08:13into place.
08:14Come on Isaac
08:14we're ready to go.
08:15Yeah once again
08:16I think the tail end
08:17need a little bit
08:18of a hurry up
08:18in the driver's briefing
08:19to get the grid
08:20formed up earlier.
08:22Like one of those cows
08:23his teammate
08:23Liam Lawson
08:24was herding
08:24at the ranch
08:25the other day.
08:26We're ready now
08:26though.
08:27Green flag's waving
08:28we've got five lights on
08:29and it's lights out
08:31and away we go.
08:32That was a better start
08:33from Lando Norris
08:33but in the second phase
08:35Max Verstappen
08:36is away and clear
08:37and into turn one
08:38from Norris
08:38on the inside
08:39swooping around
08:40the outside
08:40comes Charles Leclerc
08:41and Norris gets
08:42just a bit compromised
08:43behind Verstappen
08:44that allows Leclerc
08:45to get better traction
08:46and into second place
08:48and already Oscar Piastri
08:49is above and ahead
08:51of George Russell
08:52in the Mercedes.
08:53Lewis Hamilton
08:54is also ahead of Russell
08:55who had a poor start
08:57but Verstappen
08:57getting the job done
08:58just like he did yesterday.
09:00And those soft tyres
09:01work beautifully
09:02for Leclerc
09:02thought about
09:03trying to take the lead
09:04in turns two and three
09:06but for now
09:07Verstappen's got it covered
09:09and that's bad news
09:10for Norris
09:10but good news
09:11for Piastri
09:12as you say.
09:12Bad news for Fernando Alonso
09:14he's bogged down
09:14behind Yuki Tsunoda
09:16got a bit compromised
09:17going through
09:17the S's section
09:19on the inside
09:20George Russell
09:21not the best traction
09:22there
09:22getting out of turn 11
09:24and now
09:24the long long straight
09:25we see Gabriel Bartoleto
09:27going wide
09:28Alex Albon going wide
09:29Lance Stroll
09:30right there at the back
09:31too
09:31but look at the gap
09:32that Max Verstappen's got
09:33ahead of Charles Leclerc
09:34ahead of Lando Norris
09:35Lewis Hamilton
09:36and Oscar Piastri
09:37and down the inside
09:38goes Kimi Antonelli
09:39battling away
09:40with his former teammate
09:41Oli Behrman
09:42now running for Haas.
09:43And as always
09:44no DRS
09:45no rear wing open
09:46until one lap
09:47has been completed
09:48we have
09:48a double wave yellow
09:50out on track.
09:51It could be for
09:52Alex Albon
09:53who we spotted
09:53going wide
09:54and is going
09:55very very slowly
09:56at the back
09:57of the pack.
09:58Double wave yellow
09:59slow right down
10:00and be prepared
10:01to stop
10:02but it's gone away
10:03they're free to race.
10:04Albon is going
10:05but going very very slowly
10:07out in front
10:08Max Verstappen
10:08just about to complete
10:09the first of 56 laps here
10:11and the gap
10:121.4 seconds
10:13between himself
10:14and Charles Leclerc
10:15then comes Norris
10:16then Hamilton
10:17Piastri and Russell
10:18down to six
10:19Antonelli
10:20Behrman
10:20Sainz
10:21and Tsunoda
10:22in the top ten.
10:23Piastri having to
10:24defend hard
10:25into the first corner
10:26against George Russell
10:28who looks just as feisty
10:30today as he did yesterday
10:31at the beginning
10:32of the sprint.
10:33And you can see
10:33George Russell
10:34getting very feisty
10:35now as through
10:35the S's section
10:36we go
10:37if he can hang on
10:38to the back
10:38of the McLaren
10:39here he'll pick up
10:39a lovely slipstream
10:40down the back straight.
10:41And the problem
10:41for Piastri
10:42is every time
10:43he has to defend
10:44he'll lose time
10:45when you're off line
10:46you lose time
10:47you pick up rubbish
10:47on your tyres
10:48he definitely needs
10:49to stay
10:50within a DRS
10:51one second range
10:52of that red Ferrari
10:54of Lewis Hamilton's
10:55in front of him
10:55and Piastri then
10:57has had a little bit
10:58of a tidier first sector
10:59that's worked well.
11:00Alex Albon
11:01is still going
11:01right at the back
11:02of the pack
11:03we'll go to Karun
11:04for news on that
11:04in a moment
11:05as we head down
11:05the back straight here
11:06DRS taking effect
11:08but no one's
11:09within one second
11:10of our race leader here
11:11Charles Leclerc
11:12is less than a second
11:13ahead of Lando Norris
11:14Lewis Hamilton
11:15then has DRS
11:16as does Oscar Piastri
11:17as does George Russell
11:18and there's Oli Behrman
11:19under pressure now
11:20from Carlos Sainz
11:21with Yuki Sonoda
11:22right at the back
11:23of that pack too
11:24Karun to Sky Race Control
11:25what happened to Albon?
11:27Yeah just quickly
11:27he went for a move
11:28down the inside
11:29of Lance Stroll
11:30ended up colliding
11:31into the side
11:32of Gabriel Bortoleto
11:33and got spun around
11:35and Carlos Sainz's
11:36team mate
11:36putting Oli Behrman
11:37in a spin
11:38and making his way
11:39up into 8th place
11:40nice move
11:40we could see it coming
11:41yeah
11:42Bodafari moved there
11:43from Sainz
11:44he had his front axle
11:45easily alongside
11:46so he's free
11:48to take the racing line
11:49Behrman had to yield
11:50and he did
11:51place 8th
11:52then for Sainz
11:53that incident
11:54Albon and Bortoleto
11:55has been noted
11:56by race control
11:57so Charles Leclerc
11:58with those soft
11:59compound tyres
12:00making good advances
12:02in the opening stages
12:03of this race
12:04but hasn't got the pace
12:06to match Max Verstappen
12:07is he having to manage tyres
12:08that little bit more
12:09as Sonoda
12:10goes down the inside
12:11on Oli Behrman
12:12and is that the place
12:13that Sonoda is made up?
12:14yes it is
12:15at turn 1
12:15he's now up to 9th
12:17after starting 13th
12:18the big advantage
12:19Verstappen has got now
12:20is he can pace himself
12:22he's not driving
12:23into any kind of
12:24turbulent air
12:25car not sliding around
12:27that will help him
12:28preserve his tyres
12:29where we think
12:30where at least
12:31McLaren used to be
12:32better
12:33in the second half
12:35of a long stint
12:36but it's a long while
12:38since we've had
12:39a really really hot race
12:40and a long while
12:41since we've seen that
12:41advantage from McLaren
12:43as well
12:43and Red Bull
12:44maybe
12:45with their developments
12:46for this season
12:47going on a bit longer
12:48do have a faster car
12:49at the moment
12:50the Ferrari
12:51under pressure
12:52Lando Norris
12:53against Charles Leclerc
12:54Norris trying to go
12:55around the outside
12:56didn't work for him
12:56last year
12:57but the old switcheroo
12:58might come into play
12:59on that one
13:00and he's keeping
13:00very very close
13:01as we ride on board
13:03now
13:03and he can keep
13:04this going
13:05for four or five
13:05corners more
13:06and it's bringing
13:07Hamilton into play
13:08as well
13:08but Leclerc doesn't
13:09have a championship
13:10to worry about
13:11he just wants a result
13:12Norris very much
13:14does
13:14at the moment
13:16at the moment
13:16Lando Norris in third
13:17his teammate
13:18Oscar Piastri
13:19in fifth
13:19five points
13:20he would gain
13:20on him
13:21if it stays
13:22like that
13:22no further
13:23investigations
13:23say the stewards
13:24Albon and Bortoletto
13:26for that incident
13:26on the first lap
13:28I think Norris has got a fast
13:30enough car here
13:31to get in the slipstream
13:32of the Ferrari
13:33to get another dose
13:34of DRS down the pit
13:36straight
13:36it won't be enough
13:37for an overtake
13:38it'll be a big old lunge
13:39from there
13:40but if Norris
13:41now got to be
13:42really patient
13:42through the first sector
13:44down to the turn 11
13:45hairpin
13:45and make sure
13:47he gets a good
13:48run out of there
13:49because if not
13:50he's got Lewis Hamilton
13:51right on his tail
13:52Hamilton within
13:53half a second
13:54Norris about
13:55six tenths back
13:56from Charles Leclerc
13:58as we watch him
13:59making his way
13:59through that
14:00S's section
14:01once again
14:02it must be so difficult
14:03to stay within
14:05half a second
14:05but that's probably
14:06what you need
14:07to make an attack
14:08down the back straight
14:09and what we're seeing here
14:10unquestionably
14:11is once again
14:12in race trim
14:13the Ferrari
14:14looked way better
14:15than it did
14:15in initial sprint
14:17qualifying on Friday
14:18very much the case
14:19right
14:20let's see what happens
14:21down the long
14:22long back straight
14:23you get a lot
14:24of DRS as well
14:25and you get
14:25round about 21
14:27kilometers an hour
14:27of extra speed
14:28by the time
14:29you get to the end
14:30of that straight
14:31but that extra speed
14:32isn't enough so far
14:33for Lando Norris
14:34he gets almost
14:35alongside
14:35but not quite
14:37as Nika Hulkenberg
14:38gaining on Oli Behrman
14:39a little bit further back
14:40Leclerc defending
14:42over to the left hand
14:43side of the track
14:43Norris
14:44just clipping away
14:46at his heels
14:47waiting for an opening
14:48waiting for something
14:49to go
14:49but he's gone a bit
14:50wider there
14:51he wants to switch
14:52back underneath
14:52it's a much better line
14:54but Leclerc is obliged
14:57to leave Norris
14:58a car's width
14:59on the outside
15:00if he's anywhere
15:01near a striking range
15:03and he's very close
15:04to not doing that
15:05but he's okay
15:06at the moment
15:06but Lando
15:07I think's got a much
15:08faster car
15:09underneath him
15:10and he wants
15:11desperately needs
15:11to get off
15:12after Verstappen
15:13if he can
15:14you say leave
15:14a car's width
15:15if that
15:16that's if Norris
15:17is alongside him
15:18if he's fundamentally
15:20nearby
15:20yeah he's obliged
15:21and there we go
15:22I wonder if we might
15:24get a lunge there
15:24but again
15:25Lando will cut underneath
15:26and this is
15:28with Leclerc having
15:31to keep defending
15:31like that
15:32it's slowing
15:32all three of these cars up
15:35and that gives the advantage
15:37to Max Verstappen
15:38who's just set
15:39the new fastest lap
15:40of the race
15:40untroubled as he is
15:42and over three seconds
15:43clear
15:43out in front
15:45this is turning in
15:46to a spectacularly
15:47good weekend
15:48for the four-time
15:49world champion
15:49yeah and the two
15:50McLarens are really
15:51having to use
15:52their tyres up
15:53in this fight
15:54with the Ferrari
15:54they're not able
15:56to babysit them
15:57and play the long game
15:58when they're having
15:59to fight this hard
16:00but I think Norris
16:01looks closer than ever
16:02doesn't he
16:02he does
16:03coming out of T11
16:04the bad news
16:05for his teammate
16:05Oscar Piastri
16:06he's over a second
16:07behind Hamilton
16:07the good news
16:08he's over a second
16:09ahead of Russell
16:10here though comes Norris
16:12is he far enough back
16:13or close enough back
16:15to make a lunge
16:16no
16:16he's just
16:17biding his time
16:18a little bit here
16:19content
16:20to wait
16:21patiently
16:22for an opening
16:23to come
16:23and with the Ferrari
16:25on the soft tyre
16:26he thinks it might come
16:27sooner rather than later
16:28Lewis got a touch deep
16:29into turn 12
16:30but that does cost him
16:32a few metres
16:33on the battle
16:34in front
16:34and yeah
16:36you can just tell
16:37Norris
16:38he's got grip
16:39to spear
16:40especially considering
16:41how closely
16:41he's following the Ferrari
16:42but it's a roadblock
16:44he can't get through it
16:45and that's just
16:46playing beautifully
16:46into Max Verstappen's hands
16:48serenely out front now
16:50and three seconds
16:52in the lead
16:53he said you need
16:54about half a second
16:55of extra pace
16:57per lap
16:57to have a chance
16:58a 50-50 chance
16:59of an overtake
17:00and I think
17:01Norris has got that
17:02but he's losing out
17:03through the S's
17:04and he can't
17:04use the full effects
17:05of his car
17:06yeah
17:06so both McLarens
17:07are now catching
17:08both Ferraris
17:09as I suspect
17:12they're probably
17:13their tyre longevity
17:14is just beginning
17:16to show up
17:17a little bit
17:18this is bringing
17:19Piastri
17:19into play now
17:21and into the DRS
17:22of Lewis Hamilton
17:23but how long
17:24can Lando Norris
17:26keep within
17:27half a second
17:27of Charles Leclerc
17:28before his tyres
17:29say SOS
17:31we need you
17:31to drop back a bit
17:32we're overheating
17:33but don't forget
17:35Leclerc's on the soft tyres
17:37yeah
17:38sorry for that
17:39we were just saying
17:39Leclerc on the soft tyres
17:41you know
17:42they will fade
17:43more quickly
17:44than the medium
17:44so Hadjar
17:45has already had
17:47a black and white flag
17:48a final warning
17:49for track limits
17:51on lap 6
17:52last radio message
17:53I saw of Isaac Hadjas
17:54just said
17:55what the hell
17:55is going on
17:56the handling
17:58is a little bit
17:59beast-like
17:59I think of his car
18:00there's Verstappen
18:01at the start
18:02pointing towards Norris
18:03I think that
18:04Norris got an initial
18:05good getaway
18:06but Verstappen
18:07in the second phase
18:07had him well covered
18:08yeah there's four metres
18:10between the grid slots
18:11and you can see
18:12Leclerc
18:12with the grip
18:14with the confidence
18:15and the quicker line
18:16around the outside
18:17as you pointed out
18:18at the time
18:19Norris slightly tucked up
18:21underneath
18:21the rear wing
18:22of Max Verstappen
18:23and that could well
18:25be a very pivotal
18:26moment in this Grand Prix
18:27there is the Mercedes
18:29of Kimi Antonelli
18:30on the left-hand side
18:31of your screen
18:32and he's facing
18:33the wrong way
18:33he's been spun around
18:34there's debris
18:35down there
18:36at turn 15
18:37at least he's got
18:39going again
18:39and that's good to see
18:40while that's going on
18:42Esteban Ocon
18:43has been noted
18:43for a false start
18:44moving before
18:45the lights went out
18:47but Kimi Antonelli
18:48running in the top 7
18:49now running
18:50plum last
18:51in this Grand Prix
18:52as we see
18:53a bit of contact
18:54there
18:55George Russell
18:56going perhaps
18:57into the back
18:58of
18:58was it Piastri
19:00was it Piastri
19:01and there
19:02Antonelli
19:03is stopped
19:03by the side
19:04of the track
19:05and I think
19:07Antonelli
19:07has been hit
19:08by Carlos Sainz
19:09that is Carlos Sainz
19:10there
19:10by the side
19:11of the track
19:12he hit Antonelli
19:13this is a really
19:14difficult car
19:15this is a T15
19:16it's a difficult
19:17the marshals
19:18have got to go out
19:19onto the racetrack
19:20I think they'll have
19:21to throw a safety car
19:22for this
19:23because they're going
19:24to have to push it
19:25out into the racetrack
19:26it's a virtual safety car
19:28that means everybody
19:29just holds station
19:31at 40% speed
19:32rather than the full
19:34safety car
19:34so it won't
19:35back the pack up
19:36doesn't stop
19:37the race director
19:38going to full safety car
19:39should he decide
19:41he needs to
19:42but this slows
19:43everybody down
19:44the field
19:44have pretty much
19:45spread out
19:45through half a lap
19:48do they think
19:49they can just
19:51so Sainz
19:52let's have a look
19:53here what happened
19:53turn 15
19:54Sainz down the inside
19:56on Antonelli
19:57who comes across him
19:58and well we saw
19:59that yesterday
19:59with Piastri
20:00and Hulkenberg
20:00didn't we
20:01if someone's coming
20:02through on the inside
20:03you get contact
20:04like that
20:04and it never
20:05ends well
20:06but I think
20:08Antonelli there
20:08was just taking
20:10his racing line
20:10and did he have
20:11the right to the corner
20:12yeah copy
20:13saw that mate
20:14what the
20:15look like
20:18Antonelli's corner
20:19first to me
20:20yeah Carlos
20:21wasn't far enough
20:23alongside
20:23and unfortunately
20:26when you turn
20:26the car like that
20:27you cannot
20:28I mean
20:29he's
20:29he's
20:30he's quite a long
20:32sorry guys
20:32Antonelli just
20:34turned it
20:34there at the end
20:35yeah
20:36he was
20:37reasoning
20:37alongside
20:38but I mean
20:39the mirrors
20:39are about as useful
20:40as a chocolate
20:41fire guard
20:42to be honest
20:42so
20:43but especially
20:44when you
20:44start turning
20:45the car
20:46you'll not see
20:47you can't turn
20:48your head
20:48by the way
20:49your head's fixed
20:50with the hands
20:50device
20:51with the headrest
20:52and Antonelli
20:54would have no idea
20:56they must turn
20:56into pretty much
20:57every corner
20:58when they're in battle
20:58grimacing
20:59waiting for the
21:00hit to be honest
21:01we talk about
21:02this all the time
21:03that there are
21:03driving standards
21:04guidelines
21:05there are only
21:05guidelines
21:05but the stewards
21:06tend to stick to them
21:08if you're making
21:09a move on the inside
21:10how far alongside
21:11do you need to be
21:12to the mirror
21:13you've got to be
21:14alongside their mirror
21:15and I don't
21:17I don't think
21:17he was far enough
21:18alongside
21:19it wasn't
21:19a riotous
21:20move
21:21but it
21:22you know
21:24the stewards
21:25will decide
21:25that that is
21:26Carlos Sainz's
21:27predominantly his fault
21:29and he's out
21:29third DNF
21:30in a Grand Prix
21:31this year
21:32and he had a
21:32DN did not start
21:34the course
21:34in Austria
21:35Alex Albon
21:36coming into the pits
21:37for a change
21:38of tyres
21:39he was running
21:39down at the rear
21:40of the field
21:41after being sent
21:42into a spin
21:42when he made
21:43contact with
21:44Gabriel Bortoletto
21:45no one else
21:46came into the pits
21:47behind this
21:47virtual safety car
21:48might be a bit
21:49early Ted Kravitz
21:50definitely too early
21:52for the mediums
21:53Ferrari were having
21:54a think about it
21:55probably about
21:57five or six laps
21:58too early for the soft
21:59it might have been
22:00a nice idea
22:01and they might
22:01turn out to regret
22:02not boxing
22:03Charles Leclerc
22:04on the soft
22:04but we will see
22:05but funnily enough
22:06that might work
22:07well for Alex Albon
22:09he was really
22:10struggling on those
22:11hards
22:11they are not
22:12quick today
22:13as a tyre
22:14and that means
22:14Albon can go
22:15medium medium
22:16to the end
22:17of the race
22:18but thoughts on
22:19maybe Sainz
22:19getting a grid penalty
22:20for the next race
22:21in Mexico
22:22Crofty
22:22possible
22:23if the stewards
22:24decided he was
22:25absolutely at fault
22:25and I'm wondering
22:26how under
22:27VSC
22:28earliest time
22:29of arrival
22:30into various sectors
22:31that how Leclerc
22:32managed to pull
22:33such a gap
22:34on Norris
22:36when you look
22:37at it
22:37it's a long way
22:38ahead of him now
22:39I know it's at
22:39slower speeds
22:40but
22:40so you get
22:43a bit of a
22:44concertina
22:44false effect
22:46but
22:47Hamilton
22:48looks a lot
22:49closer
22:49look how close
22:50Hamilton is
22:50to Norris
22:51last lap
22:52Lando Norris
22:53was 3 seconds
22:54slower
22:55than Charles Leclerc
22:56virtual safety
22:57cars ending
22:58go
22:59and here we go
23:00let's go green
23:01again
23:01so Lewis Hamilton
23:03is a lot closer
23:03to Lando Norris
23:04than Lando Norris
23:05is to Charles Leclerc
23:06but I wonder
23:06if his tyres
23:07just needed
23:07cooling down
23:08a lot
23:08and he was already
23:09starting to drop
23:10back before the VSC
23:11well
23:11it's on their
23:12dashboard
23:13of whether
23:14they're above
23:14or below
23:15the delta
23:16the difference
23:16that they're
23:17allowed to do
23:18but whatever it is
23:19the Ferrari
23:19looked like
23:20it was
23:20better
23:21more efficient
23:22pushing the limits
23:23harder
23:24because it's
23:25definitely cost
23:26Norris
23:27quite a lot
23:28of metres
23:28any thoughts
23:30Karun Chandok
23:31at Sky Race Control
23:32no I'm just
23:33trying to have
23:33a look at that
23:34there was no
23:34complaining
23:35on the radio
23:36I could hear
23:37off there
23:37but one thing
23:39that has come
23:39out on the radio
23:40is McLaren
23:41and Oscar Piastri
23:42that the people
23:43on the hard tyre
23:44seem to be struggling
23:45the hard tyre
23:45doesn't seem
23:46to be performing
23:48so they're all
23:49having to think
23:50about how
23:50early
23:51they pit
23:52because you
23:52can't do a
23:53long stint
23:53and a hard tyre
23:54if it's too
23:55slow
23:55yeah
23:56that's bad news
23:57I think
23:58for Charles Leclerc
23:58on the soft
23:59as well
23:59who might be
24:01going
24:01thinking
24:01well soft
24:02hard
24:02that's the
24:03way to go
24:03in this
24:04might need
24:04to go
24:05soft
24:05medium
24:05medium
24:06now
24:06if
24:06everyone
24:07else
24:07is on
24:07a one
24:07stop
24:08and that's
24:08the fastest
24:08way to run
24:09it
24:09it always
24:10said
24:11the Ferrari
24:11when we're
24:11on board
24:12the downshifts
24:12always sound
24:13like breaking
24:14a bone
24:14or something
24:15it's
24:16not a
24:18it didn't seem
24:19very sweet
24:20on its
24:20downshift
24:20Carlos Sainz
24:22wanders back
24:23then
24:23into the paddock
24:24this time
24:25last year
24:25he came back
24:26after standing
24:27on the
24:28second step
24:29on the podium
24:30clutching a
24:30trophy
24:31not clutching
24:32much here
24:32maybe it
24:33straws
24:33as he goes
24:34to see the
24:34stewards
24:35a little bit
24:35later on
24:36after the
24:36race
24:36to explain
24:37what happened
24:38that will
24:38be investigated
24:39once we're
24:39done with
24:40the 56
24:40laps here
24:41and so far
24:42after 10
24:43of them
24:43Max Verstappen
24:44has led
24:44the way
24:45his gap
24:46now under
24:46three seconds
24:47to Charles
24:47Leclerc
24:48the gap
24:48to Lando
24:49Norris
24:49which was
24:50half a second
24:51is now
24:51nearer
24:52two seconds
24:53Lewis Hamilton
24:53not in DRS
24:54range
24:55runs in fourth
24:55then Piastri
24:57and George Russell
24:57Sonoda
24:58who's had an
24:59excellent race
25:00so far
25:00after starting
25:0113th
25:01is up to
25:027th
25:02made a lot
25:03of places
25:03up in the
25:04sprint race
25:04yesterday
25:05Oli Behrman
25:06is back
25:06in eighth
25:06because of
25:07that
25:07Carlos Sainz
25:08and Kimi
25:08Antonelli
25:09moment
25:09Hulkenberg
25:10and Alonso
25:10complete the
25:11points
25:12and we have
25:12lost
25:13Carlos Sainz
25:14with this
25:14race
25:14Kimi
25:14Antonelli
25:15is still
25:16running
25:16he hasn't
25:17been into
25:17the pits
25:18Alex Albon
25:19has
25:19which is
25:26unusual in a
25:27way
25:27it's an
25:27anti-clockwise
25:28circuit
25:29so
25:29you'd
25:30imagine
25:30you'd
25:31punish
25:31your
25:31right
25:31front
25:32harder
25:33except
25:33here
25:34you've
25:34got
25:34turns
25:3516
25:3517
25:36and
25:3618
25:36massively
25:38fast
25:38and
25:39long
25:39actually
25:40four
25:40apexes
25:41through
25:41there
25:41so
25:42that
25:43would
25:43be
25:43hurting
25:44his
25:44front
25:45left
25:45but
25:45in
25:46many
25:46of
25:46the
25:46left
25:47handers
25:47it's
25:47just
25:47a
25:47passenger
25:48but
25:48that
25:48can
25:48sometimes
25:49hurt
25:49the
25:50surface
25:50of the
25:50tyre
25:51as
25:51well
25:51whatever
25:52caused
25:52Lando
25:53Norris
25:53to drop
25:54a lot
25:54further
25:54back
25:55behind
25:55Charles
25:55Leclerc
25:56certainly
25:56wasn't
25:57race pace
25:57because he's
25:58arriving now
25:59towards him
25:59at an absolute
26:00rate of knots
26:01and the gap
26:01down below
26:021.8 seconds
26:04and we can see
26:04the gap
26:05to Hamilton
26:05with the camera
26:06widened out a bit
26:07from the
26:08helicopter shot
26:08you'll see how
26:09much closer
26:09Lando Norris
26:10is now
26:11to
26:11Charles
26:12Leclerc
26:12and Norris
26:13has been on
26:14the radio
26:14saying exactly
26:15the same
26:16thing about
26:16his front
26:17left tyre
26:18interesting
26:18so from
26:20what we've
26:20seen
26:20looks more
26:21like plan
26:22B
26:22two stopper
26:23isn't it
26:24you'd think
26:24so
26:25yeah
26:25but those
26:26softs on the
26:27Ferrari
26:27of Leclerc
26:28are doing
26:28I know they've
26:28had a little
26:29breather with
26:29the safety
26:30with the
26:30virtual safety
26:31car but
26:31they're doing
26:32just fine
26:33good impression
26:35there
26:35the Texan
26:36there
26:37the Texan
26:38lifestyle
26:38rubbing off
26:39on you
26:39there
26:39Martin Brundle
26:40we can watch
26:41Lance Stroll
26:42who got it
26:43all wrong
26:44at turn one
26:44yesterday
26:45this time around
26:47didn't lock up
26:47didn't go into
26:48the back of anyone
26:49he's battling away
26:49with Franco Colopinto
26:51had a five place
26:52grid penalty
26:53for running into
26:53the back of
26:54Esteban Ocon
26:55which in truth
26:55didn't make a
26:56huge amount
26:56of difference
26:56to his
26:58starting position
26:58but he's got
26:59the soft tyre on
27:00and is looking
27:01to try and
27:02make progress
27:02ahead of the
27:03Argentine
27:04who of course
27:05raced here
27:05and scored points
27:06or a point
27:07for Williams
27:07last year
27:08his last point
27:09finish in
27:10Formula 1
27:11looking at those
27:12tyres for
27:13Oscar Piastri
27:14certainly seem
27:15worse
27:15he'll need to
27:16keep running
27:17them for a
27:17little bit
27:17longer
27:18not making
27:19much progress
27:20in terms of
27:21catching Lewis
27:22Hamilton
27:22in fact he's
27:23dropping a little
27:24bit further
27:24back
27:24he was
27:257 tenths of a
27:26second slower
27:26on the
27:27last lap
27:28than Lewis
27:29Lando
27:30bit by bit
27:3110th by 10
27:32still chipping
27:33away at
27:34Charles Leclerc
27:34and Russell
27:35getting into
27:35Piastri's
27:36just about
27:37into Piastri's
27:38DRS
27:39certain parts
27:41of the
27:42lap
27:42stretch out
27:43to 1.3
27:43now
27:44but on
27:45another
27:45computer
27:46it's just
27:46over a
27:47second
27:47so Russell
27:48keeping Piastri
27:49very honest
27:50as the
27:50McLarens are
27:51struggling with
27:51their tyres
27:52so we've
27:53already got
27:53an answer
27:54no McLaren
27:56don't still
27:57have a
27:57massive tyre
27:59longevity
27:59advantage
28:00so if
28:03they're
28:03looking at
28:03plan B
28:04is plan C
28:05to go back
28:06to plan A
28:07but just
28:08treat these
28:08tyres even
28:09more gently
28:10so we can
28:11make a
28:11one stop
28:11work
28:12and does
28:12that
28:12explain a
28:15little bit
28:15why Piastri and
28:16Norris aren't
28:17making the
28:17gains that we
28:18would have been
28:18expecting
28:19sometimes when the
28:20tyres cool down
28:21like that they
28:21change their
28:22properties if you've
28:23been overheating
28:24them and they
28:24never give you
28:25the grip
28:25and when they
28:26cool they get
28:27pick up on them
28:28pick up
28:29discarded rubber
28:30and you can't
28:31always fire them
28:32back up to
28:33exactly where
28:33they were
28:34before
28:34Lance Stroll
28:36on the soft tyres
28:37got past
28:37Franco Colopinto
28:38and up into
28:3914th place
28:41the battle
28:41between the
28:42Aston Martin
28:42and the
28:43Alpine that we
28:44saw very
28:45very briefly
28:45didn't see the
28:46overtake
28:47I'm sure we
28:47will in a
28:48moment but
28:48he's managed
28:49to get past
28:49Gasly running
28:50a decent
28:50solid race
28:51at the moment
28:51in 12th
28:52on the fringes
28:53of the points
28:53and within
28:54DRS
28:54of Liam Lawson
28:56in 11th
28:56and this
28:57is what
28:57happened to
28:58Lance Stroll
28:58once again
28:59at turn 1
28:59and that's
29:00how you do
29:00it Lance
29:01lovely
29:01down the
29:02inside
29:02Colopinto
29:03tried the
29:04old switch
29:04back
29:04didn't work
29:05and Lance
29:06Stroll
29:06was away
29:07down the
29:07hill
29:07and clear
29:08brave from
29:09Stroll
29:09because that
29:09was a horror
29:10story yesterday
29:10trying a lunge
29:11but clearly
29:12it didn't dent
29:13his confidence
29:13to try it
29:14again
29:14I did have a
29:15chat with
29:16Andy Cowell
29:16the team
29:16principal
29:17about that
29:18before the
29:18race today
29:19he said
29:19I'd rather
29:19see a driver
29:20going for
29:20things
29:21than not
29:21doing it
29:22and I want
29:24he had the
29:25blame
29:25it was his
29:26fault for
29:26the accident
29:27but we're
29:27not going to
29:28blame him
29:28anymore
29:29Lance was
29:30almost apologising
29:31to Ocon
29:32before he
29:32hit him
29:33but he did
29:34come from
29:34a very
29:35very long
29:35way back
29:36as Norris
29:37now
29:37beginning to
29:38close in
29:38again
29:394 tenths
29:40on that
29:40lap
29:40close in
29:41again
29:41towards
29:42Charles
29:43Leclerc
29:43Orlando
29:44Norris
29:45139.7
29:46last lap
29:47Oscar
29:47Piastri
29:48a 140.6
29:49big difference
29:50in the lap
29:51times between
29:51those two
29:52McLaren drivers
29:53Ted
29:53down to you
29:54he's very
29:54almost within
29:55DRS of
29:56Leclerc
29:56is Lando
29:57Norris
29:57isn't he
29:58so he might
29:58be next
29:59time round
29:59just a quick
30:00one before
30:00that fight
30:01intensifies
30:02Crofty
30:02Tsunoda
30:03and Behrman
30:03each have
30:04a new
30:05medium
30:05left in
30:06their pocket
30:06whereas if
30:07everyone else
30:08has to go
30:08to a two
30:09stop
30:09and then
30:09use the
30:10medium
30:10again
30:11if they
30:11want to
30:11stay away
30:11from the
30:12hard tyre
30:12then they've
30:13got to
30:13use an
30:14old
30:14a used
30:15medium
30:15so Tsunoda
30:16running P7
30:17and Oli
30:18Behrman P8
30:18with a bit
30:19of an advantage
30:19on that front
30:20yes
30:21you're not
30:21wrong on
30:22that one
30:22Yuki Tsunoda

30:35next time
30:37around
30:37Lando

37:15the inside
37:16Leclerc has
37:17gone to
37:17the wide

37:18side
37:19Lando needs
37:20I think
37:20a little
37:21dive down
37:21the inside
37:22here
37:22that might
37:22be the
37:23only way

37:24no chance
