00:00It's lights out and away we go, Verstappen away well, as is Leclerc, as is Sainz and Hamilton, covers then
00:07Sergio Perez, into Turn 1, Verstappen leads, and on the inside there's contact between Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton, Hamilton
00:14has kept that 4th place, looks a little bit dodgy for him for a while, good start from Lando Norris,
00:19and he's got ahead of George Russell, but that's a dream start for Max Verstappen.
00:23We're on board now with Hamilton, hopefully we get a better angle here, he didn't get a good start, he
00:28had to cover off his teammate, he had to cover off Cecho also, here he is on the inside, oh,
00:32they did just touch, and we mentioned that Norris had made a decent start, so where does he find himself,
00:38nicely around the outside, going wide, Kevin Magnussen into the gravel, and hits the barrier, comes back out onto the
00:45track, but manages to keep that has going, oh, Kevin Magnussen double oversteer, in the barriers,
00:53lucky, lucky, lucky to keep it in a straight line, hands swapping position on the steering wheel there.
00:57With DRS, George Russell getting past Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz is coming in for Ferrari, it's the shortest pit lane,
01:06I think, of the season, and can they get to work nice and speedily down at Ferrari, that seems to
01:12be held for quite some time, and they had to hold it, because Sergio Perez was in his box, they
01:17couldn't release Carlos Sainz,
01:18because Perez was there, and they were still looking for the tyre, Perez actually went over, I think, one of
01:23the cables, for the wheel guns, and that is a disaster, for Carlos Sainz, I don't think they had a
01:29tyre, at the rear left, for Carlos Sainz.
01:32They left the gun out, there, as we saw.
01:37Two mates, getting nice and close, in a friendly fashion, going through the chicane, who comes out on top, while
01:43Seb is trying to hold this one as long as he possibly can, and that was a very nice piece
01:49of driving, by both drivers.
01:53He's got that DRS, Hamilton has to go the long way round, Perez locks up, Perez forces Hamilton even wider,
02:00and then loses speed in doing so, and what kind of animal was that, Sergio Perez?
02:07Sergio Perez currently in third, Lewis Hamilton may be targeting a win today, needs to get past the Red Bull,
02:13this time he's clear, Perez doesn't lock up, Hamilton moves up into the top three.
02:18Beautiful move round the outside, nicely judged on the brakes there, oh, and he's straight on traffic.
02:23I mentioned Fettel had pitted, he came out of the pit stop, right where Hamilton didn't want him, Hamilton just
02:28about hangs on to third place.
02:30Lovely move for Lewis round the outside.
02:32Could Fettel have kept out of the way a little bit sooner?
02:35It's a tricky one, he's come out of the pits, you're not really sure where you are at that moment
02:38in time, what race you're in, unless your engineer's telling you.
02:43By the side of the track, Yuki Tsunoda stops.
02:46Tires are fitted, tires are fitted.
02:49Let's have a look here, watch the front left.
02:53As it goes out, does that look a little bit wobbly?
02:56I'm told that was, that was the tire that might be a little loose in Tsunoda's mind.
03:03Tires are okay, start again, tires are okay.
03:06And the tires are fitted as far as the team are concerned, so Tsunoda is allowed to rejoin this race.
03:15Something wrong, something strange in the rear, something strange. Deep is broken I think.
03:20Stop, stop.
03:22Right, so there wasn't a safety car, there might be a safety car.
03:28Verstappen might just hang on to the lead here by making a pit stop behind the virtual safety car.
03:34Looks like one of the Mercedes is coming in as well.
03:37So, into the pit lane comes Lewis Hamilton.
03:40Ted Kravitz, down to you.
03:42Yeah, so there's enough of a gap for them to do it.
03:43But there you see George Russell, so they are going to stack.
03:45That was good for Mercedes because they had the position as first people in the pit lane to be able
03:50to stack their cars.
03:51And that was nice work.
03:52Oh, we got another car stopping and it's Valtteri Bottas in the Alfa Romeo.
03:56And I think this is down the main straight where Valtteri Bottas has stopped.
04:00It's right before the first corner.
04:03This could be another safety car.
04:05Yellow flags are now waving.
04:07Sainz, wow, made the move on Esteban Ocom.
04:10But I'm not sure he got ahead before he got to the incident.
04:15This is Carlos Sainz.
04:16Where's the yellow flags?
04:18To be fair to him, he was already ahead, wasn't he, when they got to the yellow flag by about
04:25a front wing.
04:26But then he's not, and then he is.
04:29Verstappen's been told to get into the pits.
04:32Soft tires going on Max Verstappen's Red Bull.
04:35Hamilton is going to take the lead of this race after Red Bull pitted Max Verstappen.
04:43Let's stop.
04:44Let's put the soft on.
04:46Wait, I'm losing the title.
04:47I think we need to put the soft on.
04:49That is an unsafe release.
04:50Carlos Sainz on Fernando Alonso.
04:54And away we go then.
04:56We're going green and Verstappen has got a decent toe behind Hamilton.
04:59And Verstappen is going wheel to wheel down the main straight with Hamilton.
05:02And Verstappen is ahead, going into turn one.
05:05Lewis Hamilton's been overtaken by Max Verstappen right at the start.
05:09Look at that, how he got through that corner.
05:11And Lewis just opened the gap, threw it down the outside on the main straight.
05:16Let's look at Perez and Sainz a little bit further back.
05:19And how they got very close and how Sainz going round the outside is ahead of the Red Bull.
05:26Hamilton's struggling for pace out there and his teammate 20 meters behind him.
05:31And his teammate is not going to be 20 meters behind for long and all.
05:33Oh dear, oh dear.
05:34George Russell nearly ran straight into the back of his teammate before he manages to react at the very last
05:40moment.
05:40That wasn't team orders.
05:43Lewis Hamilton's last lap was nine tenths of a second slower than Charles Leclerc.
05:47And Charles Leclerc is now past Lewis Hamilton.
05:50And Hamilton, who at one stage looked like he was going to get his first win in 2022,
05:56is not even going to get on the podium for the second year running here at Zandvoort.
06:01Max Verstappen wins the Dutch Grand Prix.
06:06Another majestic drive. Let's call it that today.
06:10Well done, mate.
06:11Yes.
06:13They threw everything at us, but we made the right calls.
06:17So, very lovely result out, guys.
06:20Well done, mate. That was a mega drive.
06:22Difficult strategic race, but we've made all the right calls. Well done, mate.
06:26For the man on top of the podium, Max Verstappen, who wins once again.
06:30And it all turned out nicely in the end for the man on pole.
06:34A lot harder than he did this time last year in Zandvoort.
06:37But Max Verstappen stands on top of the world, on top of the podium,
06:42and certainly very much on top here in Zandvoort.
06:46What a weekend it's been for him and for Red Bull.
06:55The two oldÓ™res of the crossing-edge one or two years of the crossing-edge one.
06:58I'm going to try again.
06:58I'm going to take a break to make it possible.
