00:00It's out, away we go and it's an even start from both of the front row, but Lewis Hamilton's already coming in his teammate

00:05and Max Verstappen has got a decent launch too and he's already past George Russell as we accelerate towards turn one.

00:12Lando Norris leads, they're three abreast behind him, Verstappen gets on the dust, Verstappen goes wide and off the track.

00:18Norris manages to keep hold of the lead, Charles Leclerc has gone off the track too, that's going to allow Lewis Hamilton through, no it's not.

00:24Leclerc has gone into the lead of this race but he's going to have to give that place back because he's gone wide and off the track

00:30and Lando Norris now retakes that lead as the Ferrari slows down, Max Verstappen though is in third place currently

00:37ahead of Lewis Hamilton and he's got to give that place back, surely.

00:41Verstappen just cut the corner, brake light and went across the grass so at least the penalty will give the position back.

00:47Let's see that race start, it was a pretty even start for the front row, Hamilton getting a very nice slipstream and a good launch too

00:55but watch Verstappen coming through already ahead of George Russell.

00:58Yes, he had the momentum off the line so he's clearly in front of Russell even before they got to the braking point

01:04and that's what Red Bull will be saying, now he's gone straight off.

01:07Let's look at Piastri because he's gone wide, Cofty there, there's the contact between Lawson and one of the Williams cars.

01:13Piastri dropped back there, didn't he, in that kerfuffle?

01:19Charles Leclerc, if I was Lewis Hamilton I wouldn't be overly amused at what Charles Leclerc did here

01:23because I'm not quite sure why Leclerc felt he needed to go off the track in the way that he did.

01:30Maybe we'll see it a bit more clearly from here on in.

01:33There's a bit of contact and then Leclerc just dives left and manages to keep hold of that place

01:38while Lewis is battling away with Lando Norris.

01:40There's Leclerc coming back onto the track in the lead of this race

01:44and you see from Max Verstappen's point of view now what he did, just on the kerb, couldn't get the car stopped

01:51so he's got to go wide.

01:52I'm crazy, I'm crazy.

01:55Oof, kept it out of the barrier.

01:57Yeah, and kept it out of the barrier very nicely indeed.

02:00Oh, that's Verstappen going wide and onto the grass

02:03and what has happened here, and Lewis Hamilton has dropped back a little bit as well.

02:08There's George Russell getting in on the act.

02:10On the insole, Hamilton locks up, he's going to have to go to the escape road.

02:14Lap six here, it's all happening down at turn four.

02:17Charles Leclerc goes through, Hamilton comes back on ahead of this battle.

02:22Oli Behrmann on the inside of Max Verstappen trying to make up a place

02:25and it looks like Oli Behrmann has done just that.

02:28Verstappen's going to fight it, but Behrmann has got the advantage.

02:32Goes up into fourth end.

02:33Lunge from Max Verstappen on Lewis Hamilton.

02:36Ooh, who closes the door a little bit late for Max Verstappen's liking

02:42and Verstappen has to take to the grass.

02:44I mean, it's a big lunge, isn't it?

02:45He's come from a long way back.

02:48Lewis probably didn't expect to see him coming, gave him the space.

02:52And then...

02:53Oh, is Verstappen far enough along the side there to claim that corner?

02:58He's not giving him racing room at the exit, has he?

03:01No.

03:01He's slid wide, giving him a little bit of a bump

03:05before they've got to the wide line on the outside.

03:08So Ferrari will argue that.

03:10But then they come down to turn four

03:11and then they both locked up and gone wide there.

03:15Behrmann's smart.

03:16Behrmann's just stopped the car, the apex of turn five

03:19and gone past both of those drivers.

03:21With Yuki Tsunoda just dropping back a bit from George Russell

03:24and not with the benefit of DRS, might be there for the taking here.

03:28Piastri needs to get this done.

03:3023 kilometers an hour of extra speed gets that job done for him.

03:34He's up into eighth place

03:35and he can start to chase after George Watson

03:37has just been given a 10-second time penalty

03:39for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.

03:42And whilst this day could go from good to seriously good for Oli Behrmann

03:47and we are seeing now Carlos Sainz on the new soft tires that he's employed,

03:54load of dust on the track there and he just can't bring his car to a stop

03:59and going off onto the grass.

04:01We have 10-second penalty for the extended four.

04:05We trust up and we don't agree, but let's keep the height down.

04:08That's such a f***, man.

04:10The grip is so small there.

04:17The grip there is so low.

04:19We don't lose.

04:20What do you want me to do?

04:22What are we doing?

04:23Staying out, Max.

04:25Yeah.

04:26So, what...

04:26Yeah.

04:27What...

04:27Are we on a one-stop or a two-stop at the moment?

04:30Right.

04:31Okay.

04:32I can hear everything.

04:34Ooh.

04:35A lot of the Behrmann podium potential

04:37relies on what Kimi Antonelli has to do.

04:39Can he make that stop work, one-stop work,

04:42and is it just all management

04:43and that will allow Behrmann a better opportunity?

04:45And also what Oli Behrmann can do for himself on the track

04:47and on this particular lap, lap 32,

04:49it's getting past Yuki Tsunoda

04:51and moving back up into fourth place.

04:54I've got more places here.

04:55Okay.

04:56Well, you're free to overtake.

04:59Yeah.

04:59Well, no team orders down at Mercedes.

05:01George, you'll have to do it all yourself.

05:04I've got a...

05:05McLaren at my...

05:06You want me to don't pass?

05:08No, thank you.

05:09That's what...

05:10Just checking.

05:11That's what I was saying.

05:12George Russell wants his teammate to get a move on here

05:14and he's feeling a bit vulnerable.

05:16So, rear surface temperatures are sky high.

05:18George, let's get these under control.

05:19Mark, I've got a f***ing car in my a**, okay?

05:25The car much quicker than ours.

05:27I'm trying to halt position.

05:29I've got much more pace than Kimi here

05:31and we can fight for a podium.

05:33I'm happy to give the position back

05:35if I don't achieve it.

05:36But my tyres just get them f***ing sacked here.

05:40And behind him...

05:41Understood.

05:42...Piastri, I think, is suffering...

05:43I'm getting these tyres to the end of the race.

05:45...is suffering a little bit as well.

05:46Oh, now...

05:47Now comes the call.

05:49Yeah.

05:49Honestly, I think they should have swapped it five laps ago.

05:52When George said, you know, I'll give it back,

05:55that this call should have been made a long time ago.

05:59And I'd rather get the feeling that Oscar Piastri

06:02might have been a bit wiser to that one there

06:05and could have dived down the inside on Kimi Antonelli.

06:07Oh, great.

06:07In terms of how the tyres are reacting,

06:11Franco Colopinto ahead of Alex Albon.

06:13On the inside, Alex Albon, he gets alongside

06:16and I dare say has a faster car down the street.

06:20He's got DRS on Kimi Antonelli.

06:22Is he going to make the move then on the Mercedes

06:23who switches to make sure Piastri goes round the outside

06:27and he doesn't.

06:28Meanwhile, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton

06:30into turn one.

06:31Verstappen's got clear of the Ferrari and up to seven.

06:34Into the pits now comes Kimi Antonelli

06:36and Oscar Piastri.

06:38So Mercedes have decided, look,

06:40if you're going to box to overtake, fair enough,

06:42but we're going to box too.

06:44This had better be a fast stop.

06:45And it was.

06:46Pat on the back from the mechanics

06:48as the McLaren roared off.

06:50Hamilton's in the pits, Antonelli as well.

06:53And we want to see as they come down the pit lane,

06:55Oscar Piastri has got ahead of Kimi Antonelli

06:59and they did it in the pits.

07:00Well done to McLaren.

07:01Down the inside, Oscar Piastri's having a go

07:03on Esteban Ocon.

07:05No chance of getting through.

07:06Except Behrman's not giving up.

07:08And down the inside goes Piastri on Esteban Ocon.

07:11He's caught the Frenchman by surprise.

07:13Nice move by Oscar Piastri.

07:15He's got the grip on the medium-time runner.

07:17He's up in a six.

07:18Behrman has now dropped back down to fourth,

07:20but on much fresher tyres.

07:22The Max Salesforce driver of the day currently

07:23is Oli Behrman.

07:24And there's no surprise to that whatsoever.

07:27Could Oscar Piastri be about to force himself up

07:29down the inside on George Russell?

07:31Yes, he is.

07:32And Oscar Piastri is about two-thirds ahead.

07:35By the time they get to the next apex,

07:36he is definitely ahead.

07:38That is exactly what he needed to do.

07:41He's up in the fifth place.

07:42Great move from the Aussie.

07:44We should invert position now.

07:46Yeah, we are talking about it.

07:48We'll just close in.

07:49Good luck.

07:51Good luck on that one.

07:53Here comes the swap.

07:55It is a swap, yes.

07:56Kimi Antonelli goes through.

07:58George Russell does comply.

08:01He's not going to enjoy that, though.

08:03And this is the move.

08:04Gabriel Bortoletto jinxing behind Isaac Hadjar.

08:09This is really good stuff

08:11from the two title rivals in F2 last season, of course.

08:14It is a double yellow flag.

08:16Sainz has come to a standstill in the stadium section.

08:20So a couple of corners beyond where we are now,

08:22you should be able to see a stranded Williams.

08:25That's where we've got the double yellow there.

08:27We've got a virtual safety car,

08:29and that is going to signal the end of this race.

08:33I would imagine, as Carlos Sainz's Williams

08:37is stranded by the side of the track,

08:39the virtual safety car has now been thrown

08:41to allow the Marshals to recover that Williams.

08:45Nobody has got within Lando Norris this weekend.

08:49They tried to chase.

08:50They didn't come close.

08:51Seventh win of the season for Lando Norris.

08:54Maximum points as he hits back in Mexico City.

08:59Now, all eyes turn to the battle of a second.

09:02Can Verstappen somehow manage to find a way past Charles Leclerc,

09:06who's hanging on with those medium tyres?

09:08They are roaring the Red Bull through the stadium here.

09:11Charles Leclerc driving brilliantly in defence.

09:14Lando Norris takes the victory.

09:16It's going to be Charles Leclerc in second place.

09:20Verstappen comes home in third.

09:22Norris and Verstappen both outscore.

09:25The championship leader, Oscar Piastri,

09:27who has battled back from seventh on the grid,

09:30but it's going to be fifth for him.

09:31It's going to be a career-best fourth for Ole Bearman

09:35and a second-fourth best-place finish

09:38for the Haas team in Formula One.

09:40P1, mate.

09:42P1.

09:42Absolutely fantastic.

09:44The whole weekend.

09:45Yeah.

09:46Beautiful weekend.

09:47Well done, everyone.

09:49Incredible result.

09:51Wonderful car.

09:52Thanks for the hard work.

09:53Keep it up.

09:54We need to keep it up.

09:55Thank you, guys.

10:02Thank you so much.

10:14You're welcome.

10:14I need a full-toice.

10:16Bye-bye.

10:17Bye-bye.

10:19See you next time.

10:19I'migung!

10:20Bye-bye.

10:21I'm bye-bye.

10:21Bye-bye.
