00:00...go out in front of Lewis, but that's motor racing, we can complain about it, maybe at the next race safety car will work for us, but that's how it is.
00:09Can I ask you about the first pit stop though, you did pit quite late compared with the rest of the field out there,
00:13and then it appeared that Lewis Hamilton got stuck behind Sergio Perez, maybe cost him about 8 seconds, grew that at all?
00:20Yeah, no, I think looking at that now, again, we give the command for selection of the lap to the car that's in front, so Jenson had the first call, there was the gap,
00:33we considered at the time that double shuffle, but we thought, let's not push it, but yeah, it was a little bit unfortunate and we lost a little bit of time behind Perez,
00:42so, you know, we'll look back at things we could have done better throughout the whole weekend, overall, I think we, you know, we should go away feeling reasonably pleased,
00:51we had a great win, we proved we've got a quick car, and I think, you know, to start the year with a win like that really gives the confidence of the team that,
00:59and the belief within the team that we can really take this championship.
01:01How will you be enjoying this victory, a long flight too, Sepang?
01:05It'll be a long flight, but I expect we'll have a little bit of enjoyment before we go, and we'll sleep it off on the flight.
01:10All right, terrific, Martin, again, congratulations, really appreciate you taking the time to talk to us, and we'll see you again very soon, no doubt.
01:17Right, let's hear from the top three drivers today.
01:21So here we have the top three finishers in the Qantas Australian Grand Prix, the winner, Jenson Button, Vodafone, McLaren, Mercedes,
01:2713th career victory and his third in the Australian Grand Prix, second, Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull Racing, and third, Lewis Hamilton, Vodafone, McLaren, Mercedes.
01:35Jenson, you took the lead at the start from Lewis, controlled the race, sum it your emotions.
01:39I think, yeah, as we all know, set here, every win means a lot to you.
01:47For us, you know, as a team, I think it really shows how important the winter is.
01:53You know, we've had a strong winter, and yesterday's qualifying really showed that.
01:56So it's nice to come away with the victory today, first race of the new season.
02:03You know, the guys back at Woking have done an amazing job this winter, and this will definitely help them to push harder into, you know,
02:12the extra hours in the morning when they're making the extra little part.
02:15So, big thank you to everyone at Woking and the whole of the Vodafone, McLaren, Mercedes team for this victory here in Melbourne.
02:25Well done, Sebastian, sixth on the grid, unaccustomed for you, second at the end, a bit more normal.
02:30Safety car did the trick for you, though, to get past Lewis, just 20 laps to go.
02:34Yeah, I think, nevertheless, we would have had a good shot at him because I was very close, and I was quite quick, and I decided to stay out.
02:41So he went to the pits, and I decided to stay out, and I think we would have had a crack even without the safety car.
02:47I would have been very close, but surely maybe it did help a little bit.
02:51Nevertheless, I think it was a great race, quite a lot of fun.
02:55Good start initially, but then I was surprised by Nico.
02:58He had a very good start, and then I got a bit stuck at the inside.
03:02I didn't really have an option where to go, and he got past, and then I had two Mercedes ahead.
03:08I got past Nico very quickly, which was a great maneuver on edge, and then, yeah, behind Michael, where I had a mistake, went off in the first corner,
03:17and then he decided to do exactly the same just the next time I got close to him.
03:22So that was good, and then, obviously, catching up the McLarens.
03:26I think, all in all, yeah, congratulations to McLaren, to Jenson.
03:31I think he drove a fantastic race and was unbeatable today, but I'm very happy to come away with second.
03:38There's a lot of points.
03:39I think a lot of people would not have expected that after the result yesterday.
03:43I think we had a better car in the race, and, yeah, the car seems to have a lot of potential.
03:49Now it's up to us to get to it, and then, yeah, we should be very close with these guys,
03:53but I think it was a great day, so thanks for everyone pushing so hard and making the race result today possible.
04:00Lewis, you looked dejected. It wasn't your day today, was it?
04:04No, firstly, congratulations to Jenson. He did a fantastic job, and congratulations to the team for doing such a great job over winter.
04:11And, yeah, it was just a bit of a tough day, but we have plenty more races ahead, so I just have to keep my head down.
04:18Back to you, Jenson. How did you feel when the safety car came out?
04:20You built up a 10-second cushion. Did you think, oh, oh, I'm in trouble here?
04:24Yeah, you always do, and especially when it's so cold.
04:28You know, it's late in the afternoon.
04:31Sun's dropping. It's difficult to keep heating the tyres, and that's the last thing you want, leaving the pack ground to the restart.
04:39So I was a little bit on edge, but I was able to keep heating the tyres, save a lot of fuel, which I think was quite important for us, and get a good restart.
04:49You know, the team said, push as hard as you can for two laps after the restart to get a gap.
04:54I was able to do that, which I was very happy about, and then, you know, it was about controlling the pace to the end of the race.
05:00So it was, yeah, a pretty amazing day.
05:03And, Sebastian, from your side, when the safety car came out, your feelings, and how quick were you made to make that decision?
05:08Well, I think, you know, we decided, obviously, to stay out when Luis came in.
05:15Then the safety car came out.
05:16Maybe, I'm not sure.
05:17Maybe it helped us a little bit to get past Luis.
05:20We had a great stop, so that was, I think, the most important.
05:23And then, when the safety car came in, yeah, I thought I will be in a good place, a good position to have a go at Jensen.
05:30But I didn't, so he was just too quick.
05:35Two corners, and he seemed to be gone, and I was struggling, ready to get up to speed.
05:39I think I held up Luis.
05:40He was a couple of laps very close with the DRS enabled, so it wasn't difficult, wasn't, you know, it wasn't very easy to get away from him.
05:49But Jensen was out of sight, so there was no way we could have stayed with him.
05:54So, as I said, he completely deserved to win today.
05:57And Luis, your feelings when you saw the back of that Red Bull in front of you, having taken your second place,
06:01and you had a go to try and get it back again in the final stages?
06:04Yeah, very similar to the position I was in last year.
06:08So, it was a tough race, but it was still quite a positive for the team to come here with good pace.
06:13And so, hopefully, we can take that on to the next race.
06:17Jensen, we go next to Malaysia.
06:19And you'll be looking for another win now, I'm sure.
06:21Stiff competition this year, though.
06:22We're in for a competitive season, clearly.
06:23How are you feeling, then, summing up your feelings and those of the team after this first race?
06:27I think we all think that this year is a very special year in Formula 1.
06:33Last year was also having five world champions, but having six world champions and so many competitive teams,
06:38it's good to see that Formula 1 is in a great place right now.
06:42And it's a great sport to be a part of right now.
06:45So, very excited heading to Malaysia, but I'm not thinking about that right now.
06:51I'm going to enjoy myself with the team this afternoon, evening, and my friends and family.
06:57And then tomorrow, turn my attention to Malaysia.
07:00Yeah, well done to Jensen Button.
07:02Well done to McLaren.
07:04Right, Natalie's been busy.
07:05Let's hear from a few more of the drivers that featured today.
07:09So, McLaren 1 and 3, you guys 2 and 4.
07:12Is it going to be a straight fight between you and McLaren, then, for the next few races?
07:16Well, we've done one race, but it looks that we're pretty well organised, both teams.
07:21We've executed pretty clean races from both sides.
07:24Obviously, the drivers are very experienced as well.
07:26We're getting the cars home.
07:27And in the end, you know, McLaren had track position from Quali, so we had a bit of catching up to do.
07:32And in the end, we all bunched up after the safety car and pretty much followed each other home.
07:37So, you know, let's see how next week goes.
07:39It's very, very early days, but the impression is that, yeah, we seem to be, look like we're going to be in a battle.
07:46You've improved on your best place finish here at Melbourne in Albert Park.
07:50How happy were you with the way you drove today?
07:53Very happy after the first lap.
07:55I think I need to see if I did anything wrong on the start.
07:59You never know.
07:59Sometimes it can be completely your fault.
08:01Sometimes it can't.
08:02I need to check the software side of things.
08:04I mean, Rosberg was beside me before even, you know, he got an unbelievable start.
08:10I think he passed Seb as well.
08:12So, yeah, he was, a few guys made some good starts.
08:14And, yeah, we then had to regroup from there.
08:17So my driving from then on, I was very satisfied with.
08:20Safe flight to Madagascar.
08:21Yes, thanks.
08:23Fernando, all things considered, fifth place.
08:26You've got to be pretty happy with that.
08:27Yeah, I think, obviously, it was a tough race for us.
08:31And we knew before the start, we had some good battles.
08:34We had a good start, so we recovered some positions.
08:37And, yeah, after yesterday's disqualifying, I think, to be fifth behind the two McLaren's
08:42and the two Red Bulls is a pretty good result in terms of a number of points.
08:47But first priority is to improve the car.
08:49We were too far yesterday.
08:51Today we fight with Williams now at the end of the race.
08:54So we prefer to fight at the top.
08:56And this is, for the next race, our goal.
08:59So is there time to do that between now and Malaysia?
09:02Obviously, the cars will be nearly identical because it's next weekend.
09:06But we will try to improve something in the setup to adapt the car for that circuit.
09:13And then I'm sure that for China, Bahrain, et cetera, we will bring some updates.
09:17Same as the others, but hopefully ours, they work a little bit better.
09:22Nico, can you explain to us what happened between you and Perez?
09:26Just very unfortunate.
09:27I think he just touched on the straight.
09:28So his front wing clipped my rear wheel and that was it.
09:32So I got a puncture.
09:33And that was the only damage to your car?
09:35Yeah, that was the only damage, yeah.
09:36And talk us through the rest of your race.
09:39A lot going on.
09:40Unfortunately, car-wise, we weren't there where we wanted to be.
09:44Not quite good enough.
09:46I don't know, balance.
09:47And I think we're wearing the tires also more than other people.
09:49So we're struggling a bit.
09:51And we need to look into that and learn what we can.
09:53And I'm sure we'll bounce back next weekend.
09:55My start was great.
09:56So thanks to Pez, my engineer, did a fantastic start moving from 7 to 4 or wherever I was.
10:02So that was nice.
10:03But from then on, a bit more difficult.
10:05But Ross would say onwards and upwards to the next race.
10:08So realistically, can you do much between now and Malaysia?
10:11Or is it a case of improving for China and Bahrain?
10:13No, you can do a lot, for sure.
10:14Because it's early days and there's so many new things on the car.
10:17And we need to have a good analysis about what's going on.
10:20And also setup-wise, there's so much you can do.
10:23It's also a different track, different circumstances.
10:25So it could all look very different.
10:27And certainly Malaysia is different.
10:28It's a tough race physically.
10:29How are you feeling ahead of that?
10:31Well, I'm as fit as ever in my life.
10:33So that's not a problem.
10:35Excellent.
10:36Yeah, it was a disappointing evening, wasn't it, as far as Mercedes was concerned?
10:40Martin's rejoined us.
10:41We'd love to hear from you as well.
10:43Get in touch with us.
10:44We're on air for about the rest of the hour.
10:46At Sky Sports F1 is the Twitter address.
10:49Hashtag SkyF1.
10:50The email F1 at SkySports.com.
10:52Anything you'd like to be answered, just get in touch with us as soon as you can.
10:57And before we talk to the guys, let's have a look at Jenson Button's evening.
11:00Okay, so this pace is still good.
11:19Cars behind have started to pit for their second tire.
11:22We are in really good shape.
11:23I'm starting to pick up some vibrations.
11:28I'm starting to pick up some vibrations on these tires.
11:30Not for blocking.
11:31Not for blocking.
11:33Okay, I understand.
11:34As Jenson Button crosses the line to win for a third time in Australia, it is Button's
11:43day down under.
11:47Well, they say that winning is a habit, and certainly Jenson knows how to win around here,
11:51Martin.
11:52Just a beautiful drive, wasn't it?
11:54I mean, Lewis is really unlucky today.
11:56He's got a little spinning up the rear wheels away from the start.
11:59And that gave Jenson first call on the pit stop, then he came out behind traffic, and
12:07it just wouldn't fall into place for Lewis.
12:08Then the safety car after they made their second stop.
12:10But Jenson was just amazing, wasn't he, on the restarts and starts, got himself out of
12:16trouble.
12:16It was a very Vettel-like drive in that respect, and he fully deserved that victory.
12:21And he said on the grid, didn't he, to me, I think I can win this race, and he was absolutely
12:25right.
12:25All about that start, though.
12:27I mean, you know, had it been any different, do you think it would have been a different
12:30outcome?
12:32I think, yes, I think it would have given Lewis the upper hand, and then he would have pitted
12:35first, and Jenson would have got the traffic.
12:37So it really was all about the first 200 metres, basically.
12:41I was saying, Martin, at the start, I think probably surprised Lewis.
12:45I think in his head he thought he'd already got this one.
12:48You know, it's a natural thing to think if you're on pole position, and just you don't
12:52want to see you lose that advantage, do you?
12:54And that sort of, your heart sinks slightly, you know you're going to have a longer, harder
12:57day.
12:58And, you know, all those things.
12:59It took a while for Lewis to build up, but I don't think there's a cigarette paper between
13:04them, really, in speed, generally.
13:06Absolutely right.
13:06But that's the excellence that we're seeing in Formula One at the moment, isn't it, between
13:09the teams and between the drivers.
13:12And, you know, it's 308 metres down to the first corner, and the race was won well before
13:17they got there.
13:18Yes.
13:19Effectively.
13:19But despite there being a massive fight for the rest of the afternoon.
13:22There was a fight, and there was, I think there was also, there's this kind of, I mean,
13:25you've got to say that Jenson has looked inside very calm, very confident.
13:31And although he was admitting to the nerves, as John said, his daddy was saying that it
13:36was good nerves.
13:36You know, it's not the bad nerves.
13:38And, you know, so I still think there's some work.
13:41It's nothing more than just almost a psychological battle now between the two drivers in the
13:45team.
13:46You know, you say that Jenson's looking relaxed.
13:48We thought most of this weekend that Lewis has looked relaxed as well.
13:51To get that pole, you were saying it was a terrific drive, a classic Lewis Hamilton,
13:54if you like.
13:55And he's also had a good entourage around him.
13:57How's he going to be feeling right now, bearing in mind he let pole slip?
14:00I think Lewis thought that was his race today, and I think it could well have been as we
14:04just explained.
14:05So he looked a bit glum, didn't we, with the champagne on the podium.
14:09And, you know, he didn't even finish second.
14:12He only finished third.
14:13And he knows it's going to be a tight championship.
14:15And those red bulls chase them all the way home.
14:17And he knows that Adrian Newey will keep developing that car, as will McLaren, of course.
14:21So they're crucial points, aren't they?
14:23It looks like it's going to be very close indeed.
14:25I was just going to say about McLaren, though, it's not like they've had terrific starts
14:28to the last couple of seasons, have they?
14:29They've been beset by pre-season problems.
14:31This time around, they came in looking comfortable, as we said, and they've turned it into a victory.
14:36What does it do for you in the first of these four flyaway races?
14:39Well, you've heard that Nico was saying, you know, it's not so easy to change.
14:44Alonso was saying it's not so easy to change much in a week, you know, when you're 3,000,
14:484,000 miles away.
14:50So they'll have data that they can look at from this weekend.
14:54All of that talk before this race weekend, where we didn't know what was going to happen,
14:57and it was, was Mercedes actually doing something?
15:01I mean, Mercedes was the big disappointment of the race, you know, a fantastic start from
15:04Nico.
15:05But I mean, otherwise, apart from Michael, unfortunately, going out, you know, the pace
15:09wasn't there.
15:10And so, and Williams' pace was way ahead.
15:13That was a, that was a big surprise.
15:15It was quite telling.
15:15Sorry to interrupt you there.
15:16It was just quite telling.
15:17I put it to, Damon, just as you were making your way down from, from commentary about the
15:20shape of this car and the look of this car.
15:22It was quite telling from, from Jenson Button, wasn't it?
15:24He says, it's a beautiful car.
15:25It's a beautiful victory.
15:26That's what he said to his team when he crossed the line.
15:29Anything to do?
15:30Can we read in, into the shapes at all?
15:32No, because McLaren have had this slightly lower chassis anyway for two, three seasons
15:36now.
15:37So I don't think the tall noses, I mean, Red Bull's got one of those.
15:40I don't think that's the issue.
15:41I think it's the whole package.
15:43But something that really I thought was significant that Jenson said is, was it welcome to 2009
15:47or it's 2009 all over again?
15:49So for him, he sees this as a beginning of a championship charge without any shadow of
15:54a doubt.
15:54And so often the winner here has gone on to win the world championship.
15:57Okay.
15:58Time for us to take a short break.
16:00In the meantime, though, let's relive it.
16:01It's a victory for Jenson Button.
16:06And we wait for the lights above the drivers to signal the start of the season.
16:12Here we go, folks.
16:14Four and now five lights.
16:17And it's lights out down under.
16:20And Lewis Hamilton gets away well as Jenson Button comes back in.
16:23And Roland Grosjean loses places right for the start.
16:26Great start for Michael Schumacher once again.
16:27Into the first corner goes Jenson Button.
16:30As now Sebastian Vettel squeezes through past Nico Rosberg.
16:34It's not often you get past any car going into turn 10.
16:38As here now goes past to Maldonado.
16:40On Romain Grosjean.
16:40And they make contact.
16:43We're on lap 13.
16:46Jenson Button leads.
16:47We've got a race on our hands this afternoon.
16:51So he's ahead of Hamilton.
16:52He's ahead of Hamilton.
16:53He is going to be ahead of Hamilton.
16:59As Jenson Button crosses the line to win for a third time.
17:03Jenson Button, who made all the running and wins in Australia.
17:09What a race for Button.
17:10Yeah.
17:19I felt it, you know, a bit of a doubt.
17:21So, we're tough, right?
17:23Yeah, Jenson Button's day here at the Australian Grand Prix.
17:32But we've been moved along to Red Bull here.
17:34Christian Horner, their team principal, is with us.
17:37Christian from fifth and sixth on the grid.
17:39Are you happy with that?
17:40I think, you know, the recovery we had today was excellent.
17:43I think both drivers put in great performances.
17:45And, you know, Sebastian was very, very determined going into that race.
17:48A great move on Rosberg early on.
17:51And, you know, we had good pace in the race.
17:53So, I think for us, we definitely underperformed yesterday in qualifying as we suspected.
17:57But, nonetheless, a great recovery from both drivers.
18:00Is Mark pleased as well, his best ever result in?
18:02Yeah, he is.
18:03I mean, that podium seems so elusive.
18:05He was enormously fast.
18:07Once he got into clear air, he didn't have a great start.
18:10But once he was clear of Alonso and Rosberg, he was the fastest man on the track.
18:14And, you know, that put him back into contention.
18:17And you could see on those last ten laps with Lewis, he was giving it everything.
18:21But it's a very, very difficult track to overtake at.
18:23Christian, he took quite a knock down to the first corner, didn't he?
18:26Mark seemed to be assaulted from both sides there.
18:28He was probably a touch cautious on the brakes, I thought, into one.
18:32Maybe sensibly.
18:33But is the car damaged in any way?
18:35Yeah, we've got a bit of damage on the rear wing end plate.
18:37I think also on the front wing end plate as well.
18:39So, you know, for sure there's a little bit of performance that's missing there.
18:42But, you know, nonetheless, you know, great performance.
18:46Once he was in clear air, you know, on that hard tyre in the middle stint, he was setting purple sectors.
18:52Have you got any goodies for next week?
18:53Obviously, you're not too far away from McLaren, much further.
18:56You promised us you'd be closer to them in the race than you were.
18:58But have you got anything for next week?
19:00We've got taken quite a lot of understanding from this weekend.
19:03I think that both drivers haven't been totally happy with the car here.
19:07And next weekend's a whole new challenge.
19:09It's not a temporary course.
19:10It's long, fast corners as well.
19:12So, but we've understood some of the issues that we've had here.
19:15And hopefully we'll be looking to get on top of them next weekend in Malaysia.
19:19Could you tell us the difficulties about overcoming it in between from the RB7 to the RB8,
19:24like building a completely different car without these exhaust blown diffusers?
19:27What were the difficulties in the off season?
19:29Well, obviously, with the regulation change, you've got, you know, quite a big characteristic change
19:34when your whole car is designed around that philosophy.
19:38So it wasn't quite back to the drawing board.
19:40And obviously the car in many areas is an evolution of the RB7.
19:44But, you know, there's been some lessons to learn.
19:48And we've been working hard to get on top of those.
19:50And I think the potential of this car is, you know, is strong.
19:53There's a lot of stuff in the pipeline.
19:55And from now to Brazil will be a development race, you know, all the way to the end of the year.
20:02They say Sebastian Vettel can't race.
20:05A lot of people were saying that before he won the world.
20:07I mean, that move on Rosberg was something special, wasn't it?
20:10I mean, he's demonstrated several times now that he can race.
20:13And to go around the outside of Rosberg down into turn three, you know, a great move from Seb today.
20:19He was determined.
20:19He wanted to be on the podium today.
20:21I could see it in his body language all morning.
20:23You know, he's kept his calm.
20:26He's remained focused and put in a great drive.
20:30Christian, I just want to ask you about the changes from here to Sepang.
20:34Completely different challenge as a track.
20:35Completely different.
20:37You've got, you know, fast corners, a lot of humidity there.
20:40You know, high temperatures here.
20:42You know, it's bumpy, short corners, medium speed.
20:44So it's a different configuration.
20:48But, and we'll probably get a better idea there of what the running order is.
20:53Okay, well done.
20:54Thanks very much for your time today.
20:55Congratulations.
20:55Thanks very much indeed.
20:56Let's go upstairs to the Skypad, Ant and Georgie, to analyse the start.
21:01Red Bull playing second to the McLaren boys today.
21:04And we saw Jenson Button get off to a flyer at the expense of his teammate, Lewis Hamilton.
21:09But what else was happening a little bit further down the field?
21:12Yeah, we saw an incident, didn't we?
21:13And everyone's been talking about the far-starting Nico Rosberg.
21:17And here he is on the run through the two Red Bulls.
21:20He then decides to chop to the left-hand side and have a go on Grosjean around the outside there.
21:26And actually claiming three places and getting up as high as fourth place at the start.
21:31Didn't eventually turn out the way he wanted in the race, but it was a great start nevertheless.
21:35Further down the grid though, we see Mark Webber stuck in the middle there of Hulkenberg on the right-hand side.
21:42And Verne on his left-hand side.
21:44And he gets sandwiched in between the two of them.
21:46So if we just clear that and run it forward a bit, you'll see contacts made between the two cars.
21:51There it is.
21:52And he's got Ricciardo now right behind him.
21:55On the right-hand side here, we've got Kobayashi and one of the Marussia cars on his right-hand side.
22:02And he actually locks up because of this chain reaction, then hits in to Ricciardo.
22:07And that eventually sends him out wide into Senna and hits him around as well.
22:12So it was all a chain reaction based on Mark Webber's poor getaway.
22:16And we've got that actually here.
22:19So this is what it looked like from onboard Mark Webber.
22:21Here goes the poor getaway.
22:22Slightly slow reactions.
22:24And that leaves the rest of the field pulling away.
22:26And here comes on the right-hand side, fast-paced Rosberg to the outside.
22:30And at this point here, we've got Hulkenberg coming up on the inside, sandwiching us at this point.
22:35And now contact is made between the car on the right side, then the left.
22:40And I can't believe that damage wasn't made there to the red ball.
22:44We've heard Christian Horne just saying that there was damage.
22:46So I wonder what Mark Webber could have done in this race if he didn't carry that all the way through.
22:50Yeah, Mark Webber unable to get a podium here, but still fourth.
22:53Still fourth, indeed.
22:55You made a habit of that, though, last year.
22:56Another poor start for Mark Webber.
22:58You were saying it just gets in your head, didn't you, Damon?
23:00Well, I think he must feel sorry a little bit for Mark.
23:03You know, I mean, home Grand Prix.
23:04I think he had the pace over Sebastian in qualifying, and he was quick in the race.
23:09Still didn't happen.
23:10You know, what does he have to do?
23:11It is a head game.
23:12I wasn't as strong in qualifying as I was in the race, and it cost me through my Formula
23:17One career, but I was a really good starter, because I had to be, basically.
23:21And that's a mindset you get, and for some reason, Mark just spins the wheels up a little
23:26bit more.
23:27It's a much more manual process now, and I don't know if it's a dexterity thing or a confidence
23:32thing.
23:32I don't know what it is, but he just can't seem to get that car off the line as well as
23:36he should.
23:36But how do you get yourself out of a hole?
23:37I know it with my golf.
23:38When you're in a hole, you just can't seem to clear that.
23:40We could do worse than looking at what Nico Rosberg's doing.
23:43I mean, you know, I don't know what he did there, but it was like someone had catapulted
23:47him or something.
23:48It was like a rocket, wasn't it?
23:50The problem is that when you've got a foot clutch, you're feeling a spring, and you're
23:55feeling a tension, aren't you?
23:56But now they're all on the paddle clutch, you're moving a little micro switch.
23:59You can build in a spring, but it is hard to get that feeling, that secondary feeling
24:05of engaging the clutch, isn't it?
24:06Well, I mean, I did use the hand clutch towards the end, but I think that Anthony made the
24:13point.
24:13You know, he was a little bit late out on the reaction on the lights, and if you do
24:17that, you suddenly jump when you see the lights come on, and that can also break traction.
24:22So maybe it'll work for Mark to do that.
24:25We're holding up a great big box that's on its way to McLaren, so we better throw to
24:30an interview.
24:30Let's hear from both the McLaren drivers.
24:32They've been speaking to Natalie, we'll let you through, lads.
24:37Huge congratulations, Jensen, your third win here at Alba Park.
24:41It actually didn't seem to be in doubt, but when did you know you'd secured that victory?
24:45It's in doubt every lap you're driving around this circuit.
24:47You know, it's bumpy, it's very tricky, you're close to walls a lot of the time, and the sun's
24:53going down, and it's tough because it's in our eyes for half the lap.
24:56So every lap it felt, you know, a little bit in doubt.
25:00So a tough race, and amazing to come away with this victory.
25:04You know, this team's done a great job.
25:06Vodafone, McLaren, Mercedes all winter has done great.
25:10Lewis did a great job yesterday putting it on pole.
25:12I got as close as I could, and then today we came away with a victory.
25:15You commented on just how beautiful the car is.
25:18How is it feeling out there?
25:19Uh, it's, uh, it's feeling pretty good, you know, um, it's, yeah, I'm very happy with
25:27the way the car is, you know.
25:29Sometimes you can have a car that's very good at the start of a stint, sometimes very good
25:32at the end of a stint, but it doesn't do both.
25:34Um, and I think we have a good balance considering the amount of testing we've done around here.
25:38Uh, so, good balance, I mean, we're doing fuel saving, um, for some of the race, which
25:44made it a little bit tricky to keep heat in the tyres.
25:46Um, but all in all, great, and I got the fastest lap of the race, which obviously isn't everything,
25:52but I just needed to show near the end what we could do, or just find out what we could
25:55do, really.
25:55It's always quite nice to get that, isn't it?
25:57Exactly.
25:57And how useful a launch pad is it to get a victory here at Albert Park ahead of the season,
26:02because all too often the winner here goes on to secure the championship?
26:06That sounds great, doesn't it?
26:07Um, I did do it in 2010 and didn't win the championship.
26:11Um, but, you know, this place, to win at the start of a season is great for yourself,
26:16for motivation, for the whole team, and not that they need it, you know, I think these
26:20guys have been working flat out.
26:21I spoke to my chief mechanic yesterday, and he's like, he's like, it's nice to actually
26:26have the curfew over the weekend, because it means we do get to sleep.
26:29Um, so, this is great for these guys who have put in so much hard work and, uh, and effort.
26:35They get a day off, I think, before we, um, you know, we head over to Malaysia.
26:38So, big celebrations, hopefully, um, but not too much, because tomorrow we've got to start
26:42concentrating on doing the same thing at the next race.
26:45Well, you two have been working very hard across the winter months and taken the form
26:48from last season into 2012.
26:51Yes, you know, um, we always said that if we had a good winter, we'd start the season
26:56on a high.
26:57Um, we've done exactly that.
26:58So, uh, yeah, I'm in a, in a great place for the team right now.
27:02Um, and feel, feel so at home in the car, which is, which is so important to me.
27:08Uh, and it's a car that gives me a lot of confidence.
27:11So, um, hopefully we'll see some more of this this year.
27:14See you in Malaysia.
27:16Well, it was a podium finish for you, Lewis, but everyone knows that nothing less than a
27:20win would keep you satisfied.
27:21How are you feeling after the race?
27:23Uh, yeah, it was obviously a tough race, but, um, congratulations to Jensen.
27:27It was a great, great finish for him.
27:29Um, it would have been great to add, uh, one, two, but, um, just wasn't a good day
27:33for me.
27:33Why wasn't it your day today?
27:36Uh, I really don't know.
27:38I really don't know.
27:39I just struggled out there and, um, got a shocking start, which, which really was the,
27:43that was the beginning of it all.
27:45And so what do you do between now and Malaysia?
27:48Just refocus, get my head down and there's lots of races ahead.
27:51So, um, you know, these championships, it's all about consistency.
27:54So that's what I'm going to focus on.
27:55So how much confidence can you take from the fact that you did secure pole and a podium?
27:59Here in Australia, which by anyone's standards is pretty good.
28:02It's okay.
28:03It's pretty.
28:04Only okay.
28:04It's pretty poor standard compared to, uh, some others.
28:08Listen, we look forward to seeing you in Malaysia and we hope, uh, you do get things sorted by then.
28:12It's been great this weekend.
28:14Cheers.
28:15Uh, we've moved down to Lotus.
28:17I'm delighted to say that their team principal, Eric Boulier, has joined us as well.
28:20Funny weekend, I suppose, for both of your drivers.
28:22Role reversal.
28:23Uh, as it was, good day for Grosjean yesterday, less so today.
28:26And for Kimi, working as well up the field from 17th to 7th.
28:29How do you feel?
28:30Um, yeah, I mean, it was not exactly the weekend, you know, obviously you would expect even if
28:34we had a great showing in terms of pace with Romain and, uh, at, uh, some points in the
28:40back at the end with, uh, with Kimi.
28:42But, uh, uh, uh, I think the, uh, the, the, the good thing is, uh, we have a, we're sure
28:46we have a great potential in terms of one lap speed or even the race pace.
28:49And, uh, and, uh, that's very promising for, uh, a nice reward for all the instant people.
28:55Romain seemed to leave, uh, Pastor Maldonado.
28:57He seemed to recognize he was coming down the inside, but, uh, there wasn't enough space
29:01on the exit of the corner.
29:03Yeah, I think, uh, you know, he was saving his tires and just cruising via the cars.
29:06And, uh, yeah, the little issue with the shifting to second to the start.
29:10This is why he lost a couple of places.
29:12Uh, yeah, I think he made, uh, he left too many, too many rooms or to, to one or another.
29:18Eric, uh, we heard in the race, uh, Kimi was getting on the, uh, the radio about the blue
29:22flags and you had to explain it wasn't for him.
29:24It was for somebody else.
29:25Uh, I mean, he's, he uses the radio quite a lot.
29:28Uh, actually, yes, he was, we talked to you this race, but, um, uh, it's, it's, don't
29:33forget he didn't race for two years and it's a new format with the GRS and a new
29:37process to do procedure as well for the, uh, for, uh, we had to explain him for the lap
29:41car, you know, after the safety car and, uh, and definitely, I mean, you had to, you have
29:46some life comment like this.
29:47Are you relieved to have seen him do such a good race?
29:50Because in qualifying, you know, it was a little bit worrying, you know, uh, especially
29:54as the car could get up to third place with Roman.
29:56Uh, we were not worried to be honest, uh, obviously, uh, we had a little bit of misunderstanding
30:00of the timing for the, you know, the qualifying.
30:02We, uh, he did a small mistake in the, uh, let's say the only lap he had clear, he was
30:06easy in Q2 and it would have been easy in Q3.
30:09So, I mean, the pace is there.
30:10We have no race with this.
30:11Yeah.
30:12Can I just clear one thing up there?
30:13You had to explain to him during the race about the safety car or before the race?
30:17No, no, no, obviously we, uh, we, uh, we have some process and procedures, you know,
30:20but we just, we just remind him, you know, because it's not, obviously, uh, we are not
30:25used to see cars overtaking you in the safety car.
30:28So, yeah, there we go.
30:29I don't know if Dave could see Roman's just moving across there, uh, in the home there.
30:33He's always smiling, isn't he?
30:35I'm sure he'll bounce back.
30:36Eric, best of luck next week in Malaysia.
30:38Let's head upstairs and that's there.
30:41Yeah.
30:42Mixed fortunes are for the Lotus team.
30:44Certainly.
30:44What can we put Roman Grosjean's performance down to today?
30:47Is it an experience?
30:48Is it as simple as that?
30:49I don't know.
30:50I think it was just a, a, a misjudgment of, uh, character really from, uh, Maldonado.
30:55Cause if we just focus on the two here, here they come on the run up towards turn 13, Maldonado
31:00has a pop down the inside of Grosjean and it's, uh, around about this point here, Grosjean's
31:05fully aware that the car's on his inside, but I just think he, he expected him to be a bit
31:10of a gentleman about it and instead of backing out more, contact was made at this point as
31:15Maldonado just continues to squeeze him offline and, uh, there we see the damage to, to Grosjean's
31:20car.
31:21I think next time he's going to know to be a little bit more considerate of, uh, uh, not
31:27Mr. Nice Guy coming through on the inside.
31:28Yeah.
31:29Simon, I, I somewhat imagine that that smile might well be wiped off, uh, uh, Romain Grosjean's
31:34face finally this weekend.
31:36Yeah, absolutely.
31:37You might have faced it the wrong way there.
31:39Let's have a quick look down here though.
31:40As you can see what the race finished half an hour ago, was it?
31:43And the boys are already packing up, uh, ready to make their way to Malaysia, to Kuala Lumpur.
31:47There's spare plugs and sockets in here.
31:49Uh, I know from the, uh, Sky D-Rig that they'll be going to the early hours of the morning, three
31:54o'clock the flight leaves for some.
31:56It really is a hectic schedule here.
31:58We're going to take a short break.
31:59On the other side of that, we'll get more reaction from here in the paddock in Australia.
32:02Thank you, Kimmy, good luck for today.
32:17Hang on, hang on, hang on.
32:25The engine sent out on the phone.
32:55Welcome back.
33:16We have moved down to Williams and their CEO, Adam Parr, has joined us.
33:20Adam, so close.
33:22I'm standing with Damon and he was like this.
33:24Your passion is still there.
33:26You must be gutted.
33:27Well, I was, but I'm not now, because at the end of the day, we've had a great weekend.
33:34We've done a lot in the last few months to truly try and turn the team around, and I
33:37think we've had a lot of evidence this weekend that we're making really good progress.
33:41The car was considerably better than anything I've seen in recent years, actually.
33:46So I think we have to take the positives from today.
33:48Do you think this will translate to other circuits, Adam, this pace?
33:53It's not something that's just worked well here in this particular type of track?
33:56Well, obviously, we'll find out in a few days, won't we?
33:59But my sense is that the car, I mean, there are a number of characteristics.
34:04For example, the car seems to be very gentle on the tires.
34:07The drivers find it balanced.
34:08They find it very drivable.
34:11So I think a lot of features we'll carry across, but we'll find out.
34:15So, Adam, the driver returns back to the pits at the end of the race and goes in.
34:21He has to go up to the team principal and say something.
34:24So what did he say?
34:25Well, I think you can imagine that a driver who doesn't finish a race always feels very...
34:31I can imagine.
34:32You can imagine, yeah.
34:33But, you know, I gave him a cuddle and I said, you know, you drove a great race and we'll have another go in seven days' time.
34:41Double sorry, triple sorry.
34:43I mean, he must be very upset.
34:44I mean, he did a fantastic job.
34:45Yeah.
34:46But the promise is there.
34:47That's good news.
34:48I think so.
34:49And he'll also...
34:50I mean, for the drivers, knowing that they're getting into something that they can have confidence with, that makes a big difference as well.
34:56And they didn't have that this weekend.
34:57And, you know...
34:58And Bruno was unlucky as well, a little bit.
34:59A little bit unlucky, yeah.
35:00So you've had a double unlucky.
35:01Well, let's just hope we've got it out of the system.
35:04Pasta looked like he was still shaping up to have a go at Alonso before the end of the race, before the end of the lap even.
35:11And he was on top of the curb.
35:13He got his foot buried in the throttle, right up behind the Ferrari.
35:16I guess he lost a little bit of downforce, but he was still hustling.
35:19Surely he was still looking for that place, wasn't he?
35:21I don't know.
35:22I don't think that was...
35:23I don't think right at that moment he was, you know, he wasn't side by side with Fernando or anything.
35:27But he's a racer, you know, and he...
35:30If there's a car in front of him, then he doesn't appreciate that very much.
35:33So I'm afraid that's just in the blood.
35:36Adam, thank you very much for joining us.
35:37We'll let you get on with things and best of luck next week in Malaysia.
35:41Boys, I think we're going to take a little walk down the other end of the paddock and see what's going on.
35:44Won't forget my iPad.
35:45Thanks very much, Will.
35:46I'll take that off you as well.
35:47It's a pleasure.
35:48Cheers.
35:49Can I hand that to you, Sunil?
35:50There we go.
35:51As we walk down here, boys, I just want to pick out some of the key things from today.
35:56And Daniel Ricciardo and the Toro Rosso guys.
35:59Daniel Ricciardo getting into the points here at his home Grand Prix.
36:02He's going to be happy with that, isn't he?
36:03Yeah.
36:04I think the crowd, 140,000 crowd will be happy.
36:06Two Australians in the World Championship points for the first time in the history of Formula One.
36:11And I thought Ricciardo and Verne did a great job for their first weekend as teammates.
36:16And Verne's first job, first weekend in Formula One.
36:19So that bodes very well for the season.
36:21Yeah, if we walk a little bit quicker, we can see as we walk past Pirelli here, we're going to come across Force India very shortly as well.
36:28Niko Hulkenberg, obviously, out early.
36:30Paul De Resta, though, who was out-qualified.
36:32We said it's going to be a very, very competitive pairing, these two.
36:35But into the points, BJ Mallier and his team, very happy with that?
36:38Yeah, I think they should be happy with that.
36:40And I think also it bodes well that those kind of junior teams, if you want to call it that,
36:45are fighting really strongly in the middle of the field for our entertainment.
36:49I mean, there was absolutely nothing in the pace, apart from the McLarens and the Red Bulls,
36:55the pack in the middle there, there's all to play for.
36:58I mean, whether you're Williams, whether you're Force India, whether you're Toro Rosso.
37:02What about Sauber as well?
37:03I mean, you have to say, the way those guys perform, we know they're light on their tyres.
37:07I couldn't believe that.
37:08But Perez's pace, that was a brilliant job, wasn't it, Perez?
37:12Yeah, he's got away, hasn't he?
37:13He must wear belly shoes or something, because he's really got away.
37:16We passed Pirelli, we didn't really mention them, they did too good a job this weekend,
37:19because the tyres didn't fall apart like we hoped they would.
37:22But Sauber, they show, I mean, I think we're in for a tremendous, I mean,
37:26there was racing all the way through the field, wasn't there?
37:28Yeah.
37:29Just to look at Force India, Toro Rosso, Sauber, Williams,
37:33they're all right in there with incredibly good cars.
37:36Of course, we stood outside Ferrari, but in terms of discussing what they did,
37:40Fernando Alonso, we saw it last year, ten podiums he got,
37:45with a car that regularly was lining up fifth on the grid.
37:48What sort of driver is he?
37:49Well, if I didn't know better, I would have said that he was trying to make it look more difficult,
37:54so that he looks better as a driver.
37:55I mean, he actually, he earned his money today, didn't he?
37:59He's unbelievable, that car was so uncompetitive in qualifying, troubles,
38:03and he's out there, you know, right in the race, he's right up there,
38:06and delivering, and just needs a slightly better car, and he'll be there.
38:09Your money's worth it.
38:10He could drive a wheelie bin with a wheel missing, I reckon, and still be quick.
38:13I mean, he just never gives up, that boy.
38:15We've said it season after season, but I bet he's jumping and screaming and shouting in one of these rooms somewhere here at the moment,
38:23and will be demanding some changes in the next few days before he heads to Malaya, that's for sure.
38:29How much pressure on Masa now?
38:31I mean, are we thinking there could be a driver change midway through the season?
38:35Say that quietly as we walk through Ferrari.
38:36I doubt they contractually can, so it'd have to be an arrangement or a brutal coup,
38:42but I think they've got to get the car sorted before they've got to sort Masa out.
38:46Right, we've had an invite, a very kind invite as well.
38:49We're going to take you into the McLaren garage here.
38:55Steve Cooper, one of their press and publicity guys, is going to take us in,
38:59one of the head of the communications team here.
39:01Boys, let's just make our way in.
39:04I don't want to get in the way of anything that's going on here.
39:07Sorry, lads.
39:09Let the guys catch up with us, as we see.
39:13Some of the race team here, Sam Michael, who's coming in.
39:16I wonder if we can have a quick word with Sam on the way out.
39:18He's just talking to Lewis.
39:20Guys, is it possible to have a quick word?
39:24I think we're going to leave them to it at the moment.
39:26Maybe Martin might be better equipped to have a quick word with the boys.
39:29Let's just creep round here where there's a bit more space there.
39:32It looked like they're having a bit of a debrief.
39:34Martin, let's just go back to what they were saying there.
39:37Sam Michael has come into this team.
39:40What's he brought?
39:42Well, he's come into a mighty team.
39:44It must be said, a very well-organized team.
39:46But McLaren don't hire people for no good reason.
39:49So they saw some skill sets that Sam's got that they needed to bolster their team up.
39:54But, you know, they've got an incredible design team anyway,
39:58and some very experienced mechanics and engineers.
40:00And so, you know, Sam's obviously slotted into that.
40:04Feels very happy here.
40:05When he talked to Sam, it's very clear that he's enjoying it.
40:08And he can make a contribution along with the other, you know, hundreds of people back in Woking and around the world with the Mercedes-Benz engine, for example, as well.
40:18But they're obviously hopefully getting ready to do their little victory celebration out here.
40:25All the team together.
40:26They're assembling.
40:27They've got their orange shirts on, which they only ever put on when they've won a race.
40:31I mean, you can imagine when they, with the box that they're sealed up in, it must be, it would be bad karma, wouldn't it, for somebody to get those shirts ready?
40:41Yeah, not to be confused with the high-vis vests.
40:43Yeah.
40:44I was going to say, just how quickly these guys do it, I can't believe it.
40:47There's no time wasted at all, is there?
40:49I mean, this is the whole business.
40:50If they're going to get another car, they've got to keep the pace of development as well.
40:54So, nobody rests.
40:55It's an incredibly difficult thing to get involved in Formula One.
40:59You know, there's just, no second is wasted.
41:01Yeah.
41:02And as far as these guys are concerned, do you think they're going to remain dominant for a while, for the rest to catch up with them?
41:07Well, at the start of the race, Simon, I thought they looked like they were going to be dominant, and I remember saying in commentary, this reminds me of 98, with Coulthard and Hacken and running and hiding.
41:16But that's not how it turned out, is it, when the race finished, and Red Bull kept them honest.
41:21So, you know, and there's some other cars in there that should be right with them as well, but I don't think it was a dominant victory.
41:27I think it was a very, very good victory, but they know they're going to have to keep developing and improving the car, because sure as hell, Red Bull will.
41:34Yeah, there's Jessica's, there's Jessica, who's Jensen's girlfriend.
41:38She looks pretty happy with what's been going on today.
41:41And we've had a few tweets in as well from you guys.
41:44Let's have a look at what you've been saying on Tweet.
41:47Bob Knightley, McLaren gaining eight tenths a lap on the rest.
41:50Yeah, they really got that nose design wrong.
41:52Yeah, we go back to when you were just saying it's just a continuation of the development, but it is a development that seems to be working.
41:59There is Jensen Button just moving his way in here.
42:02I think Marty's going to have a word with him.
42:04So we can just get in and get in, Matt.
42:09Jensen, well done.
42:12I mean, a quick word here, top man.
42:15What a start.
42:19What a start.
42:20Yeah, it was.
42:21I mean, I think I reacted okay to the lights and then the start was great.
42:25The launch is good.
42:26And then I got all excited when I saw myself alongside Lewis.
42:29Pulled for second gear way too early and I got a really bad shift and my head went forward and otherwise it would have been a lot easier.
42:36But then we drag race down to turn one and yeah, a good start to the race.
42:41And then it was basically just trying to hold on for the rest of it because it wasn't easy.
42:44The restarts were nice.
42:46But Red Bull were hanging on to you towards the end, weren't they?
42:49They were strong and I thought they would be before the race, you know.
42:52Yesterday was a tough day for Seb.
42:54He put it in the gravel and then qualifying didn't get a plan, but they were always going to be quick in the race.
43:00But we had the edge on them today and that's a great way to start the year.
43:04Now you mentioned 2009 on the radio when you were congratulating all these magnificent guys around you.
43:09Is that how you feel?
43:11Do you think you're setting off on a crusade like that?
43:13No, no.
43:14I actually said welcome to 2012.
43:16I thought you said welcome to 2009.
43:18I'm sure you mentioned 2009.
43:20But anyway, regardless of that, I know you've got to have a photograph here, but I'm going to have that lucky nipple tweak that I gave you on the grid as well every weekend.
43:29That worked well.
43:30But I must say thank you to all these guys.
43:32They worked so hard this winter.
43:34It means so much to win the first race.
43:37Lasting years have been difficult here, so it's a mega win.
43:40I'm going to get thrown out of here.
43:42I'm out.
43:43Exactly.
43:44No room for the broadcasters in here.
43:46We are being heckled out of the McLaren garage and I'm not surprised.
43:52A terrific victory though for Jenson Button and a podium as well for Lewis Hamilton.
43:58Just great stuff here.
43:59Been invited in and we're very privileged to have seen that as well because what a day it's been for McLaren.
44:06We must just tell you about what we've got coming your way next weekend here on Sky Sports F1 HD.
44:13The race weekend is a busy one as well on the Friday.

44:55Nigel Mansell is next.
44:57But we're out of here.
44:59Jenson Button has won the opening Grand Prix of the year from us all here.
45:02Bye for now.
45:22The conditions have changed dramatically.
45:36Oh dear, oh dear.
45:37We've seen so much of that this weekend.
45:43This could be the best qualifying we've seen in a long, long time.
45:52Ferrari then, massively under pressure.
46:04Hamilton on pole here in Albert Park.
46:15Here we go folks.
46:16And it's lights out down under.
46:19Bang, there it is.
46:23And they make contact.
46:27He's got problems, Schumacher.
46:31Button's got the jump on the ball.
46:37Raikkonen making a move now.
46:40And the lights already off and we can go racing again.
46:47Oh, we've got a Williams off.
