00:00And it's lights out, away we go, Lando Norris does get away very well, Daniel Ricciardo too, and Norris now
00:06leads George Russell, who's ahead of Carlos Sainz, with Ricciardo coming up alongside him, and Sainz is giving a good
00:12slipstream, Hamilton trying to go down the inside, into the first breaking zone we go, Carlos Sainz locks up, going
00:18straight on, it's Fernando Alonso, it's Sainz in the lead from Lando Norris, then comes George Russell, and then a
00:24very good start for Lance Stroll, Lewis Hamilton is wheel to wheel with Daniel Ricciardo,
00:28and towards Turn 4 we go now, and it's Sainz out in front for Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton is now along,
00:35just ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, Sainz from Norris, then comes the Williams of George Russell, and then Fernando Alonso just
00:41behind Lance Stroll, with Hamilton on the inside.
00:44Here's the start, look at the start that Russell's got, but Sainz actually gets a poor start, and it must
00:49be in the second phase, he picks his slipstream up, look how the difference it is here, and Lando Norris
00:55giving him that, and opened it up, there goes the challenge, Norris is on the dirt,
00:58right part of the track, and Sainz getting his way through here, here comes Hamilton, here comes Hamilton, round Turn
01:033, he's taking the long way round as he got the momentum to try and squeeze ahead, as into Turn
01:084 they go, Hamilton has got past Fernando Alonso, and made a move up into 6th place.
01:14On board now with Max Verstappen, is he going down the inside, he's going to try you know, and he's
01:19going to succeed as well, Verstappen has cleared Valtteri Bottas, that's a big move for Max Verstappen in the championship
01:26battle.
01:29Oh no, Verstappen was trying, an opportunist move down the inside there, and had to back out, but he has
01:35got ahead of Charles Leclerc, who goes wide.
01:39Verstappen can see what is going on ahead, as Leclerc goes down the inside of Vettel, goes too deep, Vettel
01:45thinks I'll get you back, thank you very much indeed, and now Verstappen, he's just going to go on the
01:48inside, and he might have touched you know.
01:51Norris leads the race, Lando Norris has got past Carlos Sainz, he's been trying for a while, dropped back just
01:59a touch, complained about his tyres, but has now managed to get enough grip, to put the brakes on late
02:05enough, to get past Carlos Sainz, and go on to take the lead of this race.
02:13Daniel Ricciardo I think is the McLaren, oh they're slow, it's a slow pit stop Crofty, we can see, he's
02:24still stationary, finally Daniel Ricciardo is released.
02:30Hamilton's coming in, Caroon take us through the pit stop, and Red Bull in the pits as well Crofty, he's
02:34got Red Bull mechanics, with a set of the medium tyres there, Hamilton is in and out, as the Red
02:41Bull is getting service, at the same time, it's a bit slower there for Max Verstappen, as he comes back
02:46out.
02:49Okay Lando, we will be boxing this lap, we are going to box this lap.
02:53Confirm.
02:55So Norris now stops, and they get to work, tyres serviced nicely, and that's a much more efficient, faster stop
03:02for Lando Norris, who can come back out onto the track again, he'll be behind Charles Leclerc, down that main
03:09straight, Hamilton has got fresher tyres, and he's got better pace than Carlos Sainz, and into the first braking zone
03:15they go, at turn two, Hamilton makes the move, on Carlos Sainz.
03:20That Mercedes is absolutely rapid in a straight line, isn't it?
03:22Lois, you can win this race.
03:26We'll see how Alonso got past Verstappen.
03:32And now we approach the part of the track where we're near the seafront, where it is going to be,
03:37at its wettest, you can see the rain signs there, Hamilton is getting so much closer to Lando Norris, these
03:44next two corners are really critical, as Lando Norris goes wide, and you can see just how slippy it is,
03:49for both Norris and for Hamilton, Norris hasn't got as much experience in this sort of situation, Hamilton has, now
03:56what's going to win out?
03:57This is the part of the track where it's wet, do you stay out in slicks, do you stop for
04:01enters, what do you do, because you're going to benefit later in the lap, you can see, they've already got
04:05the grip back, so if you're Verstappen, do you gamble, do you fit the enters, of course Red Bull will
04:09be watching that.
04:10The rain is increasing, out there on the track.
04:14What's Vettel done? Is Vettel having a spin?
04:17Well, that's his teammate, Lance Stroll, just ahead of him, whoa!
04:21And Stroll, wandering over to the left-hand side, puts his teammate into the wall!
04:26Has that broke the steering arm on Stroll's car, if we watch?
04:29Well, no, they both got away with it, perfect.
04:36Lando, what do you think about it in Inter? What do you think about it in Inter?
04:39No!
04:41Now, is that the right decision, or the wrong decision? We'll only find out at the chequered flag, what Hamilton
04:46loses, by making this pit stop, will he be able to make up, as Norris continues to struggle out on
04:52the track, and all the lap times have got that much slower.
04:56Damage for Lance Stroll, as he slides his way off the circuit, and into the barriers.
05:03Yeah, he managed to get out, but you can see, oh!
05:06And that might have been an earlier moment with Pierre Gasly, and it's now just four seconds between Norris and
05:14Hamilton.
05:14Verstappen could finish P2 here.
05:16And Hamilton takes the lead of the races, Lando Norris slides off the track, and avoids the barriers, manages to
05:24keep going, but Hamilton takes the lead.
05:28Meanwhile, Max Verstappen, who's on the intermediate tyres, is making his way through the field.
05:33This is how the lead swapped hands.
05:35Absolutely incredible, I feel so sorry for Norris, he had everything, but that's the benefit of being second, you can
05:41hang it out or go forward.
05:43Has he crossed the line, is he going to get another penalty? Oh, no, no, no!
05:46And he's gone back into the pits, and that is going to earn him a penalty.
05:52For Lewis Hamilton and his personal milestone, he is going to become the first ever driver to reach 100 victories
05:59in Formula One.
06:01Brazil and their amazing world champions have only ever produced 106 victories between them.
06:07Hamilton is going to get 100, he came into this race as a gladiator.
06:12He finds the chequered flag as a centurion.
06:16Lewis Hamilton, it's 100 race victories, he wins the Russian Grand Prix, and he retakes the championship lead.
06:25Get in there, Lewis. That's it, mate. That's the 100.
06:29Yeah, well reacted at the end there, Lewis. Beautiful drive, mate.
06:34Great effort, guys.
06:37That was hard work, man. It's taken us a long time to get that 100.
06:42But I'm so grateful for all of you, for all the work, back at the factory and here. Thanks so
06:47much for not giving up on me.
06:48Well on this. Great job, man. Really well done.
06:51Behind the top five, Fernando Alonso. Sixth place for him after starting six on the grid.
06:57Lando Norris, seventh. Behind Norris, Kimi Räikkönen picks up his best finish of the season.
07:03Eighth ahead of Sergio Perez and George Russell, who takes the final points place.
07:18in answer the question, which I think of knowing God.
07:18What do we have so lucky when we first are Him as a step by the side of Superman?
07:18What Simi Räikkönen points you have in ups of people.
07:18That's one of the early eleven of them for all of them to decide that we're looking at it.
07:18The rest of the winter dropped off the dela in the back of school in the back.
