00:00He's got about another 12% horsepower on a button on the steering wheel for the Kurs.
00:05But as Jenson Button told us on the grid, it's worth about 14 metres in distance.
00:09Oh, he spun it. Alonso, he wasn't on the hard tyres.
00:12Alonso has spun it as long as he didn't fall to the back of the field.
00:16He can. That's obviously an action replay.
00:18Two red lights and three.
00:20The 2009 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring is underway.
00:24Can Weber get away? Can Barrichello come through?
00:26There's a charge down to that first quarter and Barrichello looks good.
00:30Also coming through there.
00:31Again, he weaves too.
00:32Hamilton's charging forward and Hamilton's into the lead almost alongside Barrichello.
00:37Round goes Hamilton and goes off as well.
00:39Barrichello leads from Weber.
00:41Hamilton lost a bit of ground there.
00:43Coval Island's caught up as well.
00:44Masters come charging through.
00:45Hamilton's dropped back a bit there.
00:46But Barrichello for Broad into the lead from Weber.
00:49Hamilton in the wars as well as he came back on the track.
00:52He's gone off in the exit of Turn 2.
00:55Mark Webber was very aggressive against Barrichello down to Turn 1.
00:58And there is Hamilton.
01:00He's got a puncture, has he?
01:01There's a front right rear.
01:02Yeah.
01:02And he made contact, I think it was, with a Ferrari as he came back on track.
01:07The Ferraris are down there in front of, in front of Button as well.
01:11Massa, I believe it is, in front of Button.
01:13So, Button now needs to work out whether he can keep ahead of there of Sebastian Vettel in 6th place.
01:21Coval Island, a great start.
01:22Barrichello now charging up the hill.
01:24A real train there.
01:26Also, down, the car just wobbling off at the exit there of Turn 7.
01:31But Lewis Hamilton in real trouble.
01:32Suddenly, his race has all gone wrong within the first few corners.
01:35He's at the back of the grid now.
01:37He'll have to come in.
01:38First stop for him.
01:40But a real aggressive start-up.
01:42And there goes Nelson Piquet.
01:44Off at the top of the hill through Turns 10 and 11.
01:47Down the hill they go once more now.
01:49Climbing up towards the first chicane.
01:51Button diving past if he can.
01:53Just having a look there as he tries to attack Felipe Massa.
01:57He cannot afford to get behind him as well.
01:59He needs to crack on.
02:00And Button needing to pass that Ferrari early on.
02:05But we've seen all sorts of action.
02:06Piquet off the track.
02:07Hamilton got such a flyer with that Curse Button, as did Coval Island,
02:11who's up into 3rd place.
02:12But Hamilton just outbraked himself when he got there.
02:15He got the job done twice.
02:15Jenson Button coming through on the inside of Massa.
02:17Can he hold it through Turn 1?
02:19Now, he's running a little bit wide, but he's done it just as he did in Bahrain.
02:22Remember that fantastic move for him.
02:24Here is Lewis Hamilton limping, limping.
02:26Now, he sort of dived back into the thick of the action,
02:29but he was out of sync in terms of his speed.
02:33Having a look.
02:34Having a look at the top of the hill.
02:36And Button will nail him then through the exit of this corner
02:39and should get a better.
02:40And Vettel's gone wide at the top of the hill.
02:42I think Button, oh, he's gone a little bit wide himself.
02:45Weather got away okay.
02:46Barrichello's slightly better,
02:47but watch the two McLarens storming through,
02:50as are the two Ferraris with an extra 80 horsepower available to them.
02:54And then Hamilton locks the left front over that bump that's appeared this year.
02:58Carnage in the middle.
02:59But watch Hamilton rejoin the track.
03:01But he's out of sync in terms of speed
03:03and gets pinched then and just runs out wide.
03:06I think he'd already got himself a right rear puncture.
03:09We're on board with him.
03:10And that's the kind of extra performance.
03:12He's had the same weight, of course.
03:14That was Mark Webber being more than a little naughty against Barrichello.
03:18And Lewis then just can't get it slowed down.
03:20Keeps it out of the gravel.
03:22Back onto the racetrack.
03:23Does he touch somebody?
03:24I think he's already got the puncture at this point.
03:26He has.
03:27He's already got the puncture.
03:29Here it is now.
03:30And he's away.
03:31And he senses that Barrichello.
03:33And there's the tap.
03:34It's quite a big knock actually, wasn't it?
03:36And here then is...
03:37Yeah, I think there was contact with the left front wing fence.
03:42Start thinking about looking after these tyres, Mark.
03:44It's the overlap where they need to be good.
03:46So, in other words, when Barrichello pits and you've got three or four laps to nail him,
03:51make sure you've got some tyres underneath you to do it with.
03:54Down into one.
03:55And what have we got going on here?
03:57The BMW there getting nailed by Fisichella's Force India.
04:02And they're fighting Heidfeld.
04:05It's 13th.
04:0612th and 13th.
04:07They're fighting over.
04:08Good move there from Fisichella.
04:10Took advantage of Lewis Hamilton having to move out of the way.
04:12Formula 1, it's not possible.
04:13Let's see if Vettel can do it now, baby, on Massa.
04:16He's dancing now and trying, coming up the hill towards the chicane.
04:18Massa alongside Vettel.
04:19Good move here by Vettel.
04:20Can he do it?
04:22Not yet.
04:22And he's run across the chicane, so he'll have to hold station, hold position.
04:26Then a Vettel forced really to try to go down the outside.
04:30And Massa isn't really going to fall for that one.
04:33Drive through for Mark Webber.
04:37Caused a collision.
04:38That's what I thought he was going to get.
04:40I'm afraid.
04:41And Webber then, you're not allowed to stop for tyres or fuel.
04:45You have to trundle down the pit lane at 62 miles an hour, 100 kilometres per hour.
04:50And that has wrecked his afternoon.
04:52There we are, David.
04:55Confirmation.
04:56Drive through penalty for Mark Webber.
04:58And that could drop him well down the field.
05:00This is an unforced stop.
05:02Fisichelo we're watching now.
05:03Against Alonso.
05:06Sweet as you like.
05:0711th place.
05:09So at the moment, the Force India is running 8th and 11th.
05:12For him to serve his drive through.
05:13He's coming into the pit lane now.
05:15He's driving through now.
05:16Barrichello is also pitting.
05:18So he's going to come out right in the pack.
05:20Headed by Kovalainen.
05:21He moved then around the outside for Jenson Button.
05:24So he sort of frightened Buemi off the apex.
05:27Buemi says, I'll hang on then through the next.
05:30I've got track position.
05:32And Jenson then with a beautiful drive around the outside.
05:35Let's see, Webber did a 36.4.
05:38Button did a 35.9.
05:40That compares with the 137s of Massa and Barrichello up front.
05:44That's Roger there, his trainer.
05:46Because Massa, as Ted pointed out, as we pointed out in commentary,
05:50Massa is bringing both Webber and Button right back into the action
05:54by holding up Barrichello.
05:56Here we go.
05:57So he's coming out of the pit lane.
05:59He's going to just take the apex.
06:01Understeer's a little bit wide.
06:03Give me...
06:03Well, he's going to be entitled to really sort of barge around the outside like that.
06:09Who had the inside line?
06:10He's got the racing line.
06:13It's pretty much even Stevens, isn't it, on the exit of the corner.
06:17Racing incident, that one will get put down too.
06:19I'm asking, but I have a lot of movement on the rear tires.
06:23Affirm, we will look.
06:25This is 130th Grand Prix.
06:27He's landed his first pole position.
06:29Is he going to land his first Grand Prix victory at the same time?
06:36Took Rubens Barrichello.
06:37It was 99 races from his first pole in Belgium to that first victory in the German Grand Prix, remember, in 2000.
06:43Here comes Barrichello into the pits.
06:46And now Webber's going to go.
06:48Webber back into the lead.
06:49He's had the drive-thru penalty, but he's now got an open road at the Nürburgring.
06:53It's a bike ride to the end.
06:55Negative, negative.
06:56We had a fuel rig problem.
06:58Oh, you would not believe it, would you?
07:00There's the Ferrari about to exit the race.
07:05And, uh, that's terrible news for Rubens.
07:09Yep, 2010, it's dropped as part of the regulations.
07:12Shame, really.
07:13Why?
07:14Right.
07:15Webber, look, 134.4.
07:17That's incredible.
07:18Mark Webber's lap.
07:18He's just at the fastest lap, 134.4.
07:21Another retirement.
07:22Kimi Räikkönen in, uh, into the pits and not coming out.
07:26So Räikkönen has faltered.
07:28A replay of Nakajima in the final corner.
07:33Whoa.
07:34A bit early on the throttle pedal.
07:36Got away with it.
07:37Brilliance in qualifying yesterday.
07:40Starting from pole.
07:42Looked a little bit tense, not surprisingly.
07:45Never been there before.
07:46Started from the front row before.
07:48But never from the best position in Formula One.
07:51There's his father waiting.
07:53Alan Webber.
07:56Raced in Australia.
07:57Made his name in England.
08:00And now the Australian who lives just around the corner from Silverstone.
08:04He's got to land the big one.
08:06What he's been aiming for for eight years in Formula One.
08:10Minardi and Jaguar and Williams and now Red Bull.
08:14Here comes Mark Webber.
08:15It was pole position at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.
08:19And now it's going to be victory for Mark Webber.
08:22His first in Formula One.
08:24And if he wants to be world champion, that's exactly what he needed to do.
08:28Sebastian Vettel take note.
08:29Jenson Button take note.
08:31Rubens Barrichello as well.
08:33Mark Webber is a winner at last in Formula One.
08:38Well deserved.
08:40That will be a popular victory of that.
08:42There is no doubt.
08:43And Vettel second, Massa third, Rosberg fourth.
08:47And Button just comes across the line in front of Barrichello and Alonso.
08:50Mark Webber is a winner in Formula One.
09:20He crashed his young teammate.
09:23Another good effort from Massa.
09:25He drove well in Silverstone as well, didn't he, to come through to fourth.
09:29So, after so much, particularly this season, and that's good to see.
09:37But it's Mark Webber who has the sweetest champagne moment at the Nürburgring.
09:50He's a winner.
09:51He's a winner.
09:52He's a winner.
09:53He's a winner.
09:54He's a winner.
09:55He's a winner.
09:56He's a winner.
09:57He's a winner.
09:58He's a winner.
09:59He's a winner.
10:00He's a winner.
10:01He's a winner.
10:02He's a winner.
10:03He's a winner.
10:04He's a winner.
10:05He's a winner.
10:06He's a winner.
10:07He's a winner.
10:08He's a winner.
10:09He's a winner.
10:10He's a winner.
10:11He's a winner.
10:12He's a winner.
10:13He's a winner.
10:14He's a winner.
10:15He's a winner.
10:16He's a winner.
