00:475 lights on ahead of the drivers are you ready for this ladies and gentlemen it's lights out
00:53and away we go Verstappen comes right over to cover Lando Norris leaves a gap for Piastro
00:57if he wants it Norris trying to jockey his way past but there is no way past the top three
01:02all through in the same order Norris ahead of Piastro and then Fernando Alonso back with the way
01:06with Charles Leclerc and George Russell has dropped a couple of places at the start as Verstappen leads
01:11that's painful for George Russell they're losing those places because he's got a car that is very
01:17fast it's steaming down the inside goes a racing bull well Esteban Ocon behind Isaac Hadja trying
01:23a steam fast as well Gabriel Bortoleto I think has been passed by Isaac Hadja and now Max Verstappen
01:29towards the chicane is behind them it's almost wheel to wheel for Alonso the former Ferrari driver and
01:34Leclerc the current Ferrari driver and still Esteban Ocon trying to find a way past as Alonso has
01:39the this time got past Leclerc no Leclerc just squeezes him out on the exit but here comes Oscar
01:45Piastro right behind Lando Norris towards turn nine and he's picking up a great great slipstream
01:51as he moves to the outside Piastro goes around the outside of Lando Norris and he swoops through
01:57in the second place on the hard compound tire as well that's a critical move so suddenly then
02:04wrapped Max Verstappen with a different McLaren on his in his mirrors and on the hard compound tire
02:11that was an amazing move from Piastro and our McLaren thinking let's send him off after we're not going
02:19and let Max Verstappen do the slow pace let's get in there and get after him well drama on that
02:25first
02:25lap with a great move from Oscar Piastro put him up into second place Max Verstappen leads Lando Norris third
02:32that is good enough if he finishes there and to win the world championship there's a long long way to
02:37go
02:39and it was a lovely move and he's got a bit more straight line speed and as you say the
02:43slipstream no
02:43TRS they both start harvesting that's the red light splashing filling their battery up and uh
02:49very bold he he had enough grip to go around the outside that's a sweet move from Oscar Piastro
03:04so what they're basically saying there we've asked Oscar to speed up that's because he's Lando's driving in his dirty
03:11air
03:11and uh like they get their nervous McLaren are nervous that they're under pressure from Charles Leclerc the Ferrari
03:17is performing better in race trim if Lando Norris is fourth in this race Max Verstappen has to finish
03:24second or lower for Lando Norris to be world champion just one of the many permutations here
03:31tonight now Lando had a little let's see if we can start putting Verstappen under pressure
03:39and Lando Norris is coming in to make his first and possibly only stop at this race and Charles Leclerc
03:45is
03:45also coming in Fernando Alonso will also pit too and that won't affect Norris's exit as McLaren do a
03:51super job in servicing four tyres and getting him back out again so he's down in ninth place now
03:58for Lando Norris that's an early in science and stroll Lawson haven't pitted yet Oscar do you think
04:03we could do plan a thoughts on plan a so I think it's doable canal and plan a that go
04:09long long long on
04:10these hard compound tyres as his teammate is stuck in a bit of a DRS train and that's not good
04:17news for
04:17Lando Norris down the inside it goes like no Norris on Kimi Antonelli that's a move he had to make
04:27so there's one gone and now he's got three more to try and get past as well he's got got
04:33the DRS
04:33though because the detection points on the exit of the corner Norris will have to watch out for
04:38him coming back at him and he survives that moment so now he moves on and he should have a
04:43chance of
04:44getting past this Williams down the next straight and stroll on the hard tyre started on the hard tyre
04:49has now got past Liam Lawson and has moved up into fifth here comes Lando Norris of the Williams of
04:55Carlos Sainz great friends former teammates swapping places Norris is up to seventh two back straights
05:01and two places made up
05:04so he's going to have to overtake him on track to close the pit window for Verstappen and Piastro
05:10he's going to get stroll here into the chicane we go he might get Lawson too and does well two
05:16drivers
05:17two overtakes for the price of one for Lando Norris there Yuki Tsunoda is next on the road
05:28okay we expect Norris to be your DRS within one lap all he can when he catches
05:41what has Yuki Tsunoda got to try and fend off Lando Norris he hasn't got the superior tyre life
05:48he has got the battery at his disposal he's got the the override button as it were
05:53Leclerc is only 1.4 seconds behind Tsunoda's being told
06:01this is where Yuki Tsunoda now needs to deploy his battery and to give him that electrical boost down the
06:07back straight but is
06:08it enough of a boost because here comes Lando Norris and he gets forced right almost completely off the track
06:13Yuki Tsunoda made it tough but Lando Norris sailed through that is crucial for Lando Norris's championship
06:20charge did he go all four wheels off the track was he forced all four wheels off the track did
06:26he keep
06:26a bit of tire on the white line but Tsunoda move you're only allowed to move once it's absolutely clear
06:31in the rate you cannot weave like that we have been given a five a second penalty for moving twice
06:40on a
06:50or is that actually four times
06:53Lando Norris this is his final pit stop or should be of this 2025 season which as it stands we'll
07:00see him become world champion
07:02the hard tyres going back on again another neat stop with no problems whatsoever
07:07and there is Lando Norris making his way at 80 kilometres an hour down the pit straight
07:12we're looking at that final corner can't even see George Russell and Charles Leclerc coming round that final corner
07:19Norris will get out ahead of them here comes Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri and makes the pass at turn
07:26six
07:26so Piastri loses the lead of this race he hasn't stopped yet he's got a job on his hands and
07:32Lando Norris
07:33they've covered off the Charles Leclerc undercut and he's on his way to a championship at the moment
07:41this Charles is catching it or not
07:44fairly equal pace Max between them last lap was a couple of tenths quicker but
07:48that's interesting
07:52Max Verstappen now makes his way around the final few corners here
07:57and like you say Martin he's done everything he can tonight to try and keep his grasp on that world
08:03trophy
08:04it's going to slip away but this is win number three in three Grand Prix for Max Verstappen

08:17race tonight
08:18Oscar Piastri led the championship for longer than any other driver this season
