00:00The fight for the Formula One World Championship continues.
00:04We leave the line and we're underway for the Mexico City Grand Prix.
00:08Say goodbye to Lando Norris in the opening 200 meters,
00:11but it's 800 meters down to turn one and the Ferraris are very close.
00:14Lewis Hamilton pinch to the inside. Hamilton tried to attack. Watch Max Verstappen, who's on the outside,
00:20who's locking up, who's going deep and off the road. On the racetrack, Lando Norris keeps the lead.
00:25It was a wild start to this one as they reclaim the lead.
00:28Over the road went Max Verstappen. Over the road went Charles Leclerc.
00:31How are they going to sort that one out? It's Charles Leclerc who leads, but he cut the corner.
00:35He'll feather out the throttle and Lando Norris retakes P1.
00:39Chaos at the start. They were four wide into the first corner.
00:42Verstappen with the optimistic of all optimistic moves from the outside there,
00:46but knew he could cut the corner and he saw by side with Hamilton just about keeps his front wing
00:51in check.
00:51That was as dramatic as we've seen. Round at the back goes the Aston Martin.
00:56And dropping to the back of the field is Lance Stroll. It's Norris, Leclerc, Hamilton and Verstappen.
01:00Lando Norris getting a great reaction time. The slipstreaming beginning behind.
01:05Russell's launch was tremendous and now he's going backwards. So Verstappen's already through.
01:09Verstappen's ahead of Russell, isn't he? That's not going to be a reversal of the positions.
01:14So Piastri goes in wide. That's where he loses the place to Behrmann.
01:17And then I think he loses the places momentarily because other drivers cut across.
01:24He's coming past Hamilton on the inside at the moment.
01:27Oh, that's side by side. The two old rivals. Verstappen trying to get by and no room.
01:33Hamilton will try and claim the place back. George Russell trying to go past Lewis Hamilton.
01:37And this is a battle for third position. Max Verstappen has P3 for the moment.
01:42Hamilton locking up and going off and having to take the escape road.
01:47And the dreams of that podium are disappearing at the moment.
01:50He'll just carry on and Behrmann's getting to the inside. Incredible run here.
01:55What a melee. What a story. Hamilton's in third. Oliver Behrmann. Max Verstappen is the room.
02:01And there is this year. Off the road goes Behrmann. What is going on in Mexico City?
02:07Max Verstappen driving it like a shopping trolley at the moment.
02:12Ten second penalty for Lewis Hamilton. That's in the rule book.
02:15If you leave the track and you gain an advantage, it is a ten second penalty if you are a
02:21judge to have done it.
02:23This has got to be it for Oscar Piastri. You feel he will have the DRS.
02:27Tsunoda won't have that to George Russell. Piastri was expecting to have better race pace than won that pace.
02:34And that's a position recovered for the championship leader.
02:36As it stands, he still needs to get into the top four to maintain his advantage over his teammate.
02:44The guy is jumping in the pit lane. I don't know why. Max is jumping in the pit lane.
02:49Like something's broken. Like the vibrations on the pit lane. On the pit lane.
02:52And he's getting big vibrations from the power unit as it's trying to control him at a speed.
02:56And he's probably lurching slightly too quick. And then slightly slower again.
02:59And that is what's triggered the pit lane speeding.
03:03Oliver Behrman climbs another place in the Grand Prix up to P3 on the road.
03:09Hamilton's Ferrari crew will have to wait ten seconds before servicing the car.
03:14What do you want me to do?
03:15What are we doing?
03:17Staying out, Max.
03:19Yeah.
03:19So are we on a one stop or a two stop at the moment?
03:23Right.
03:24Okay.
03:25I can hear everything.
03:28Further back, Esteban Ocon in the Haas up against Alexander Albon.
03:33Very, very tight. Tight enough for a pass.
03:35Yes, it is.
03:36Up to 11th position.
03:39Max Verstappen has made his stop.
03:41He's gone on to the soft tyre.
03:42Soft tyre was an easier tyre for everyone to run earlier in the weekend on the Friday.
03:48Max Verstappen out in eighth position.
03:52So, rear surface temperatures are sky high.
03:55Good. Let's get these under control.
03:56Marcus, I've got a car in my, okay?
04:00The car much quicker than ours.
04:02I'm trying to halt position.
04:04I've got much more pacing in me here.
04:06And we can fight for a podium.
04:07I'm happy to give the position back if I don't achieve it.
04:10But my tyres are just getting sucked here.
04:13Understood.
04:14But we do need to get these tyres to the end of the race.
04:16Antonelli is now told to swap positions.
04:19Good luck with that because Oscar Piastri is right there as well.
04:22Can they do some synchronised swimming down to turn four?
04:25They can.
04:26Is there an opportunity for Oscar Piastri?
04:28Antonelli listens to the team order.
04:30George Russell up to P4.
04:32He's the next contender to try and take it away from Behrman.
04:36Great.
04:38Another defensive move.
04:40Lewis Hamilton can't offer one up against Max Verstappen.
04:43Verstappen takes P7 and Oscar Piastri remains in P6.
04:49And in we come at the same time.
04:52McLaren and Mercedes elect to pit their drivers.
04:55Antonelli and Piastri and Hamilton all in on the same lap.
04:59So this has got to be majestic from McLaren.
05:02It will look very good from the team.
05:04Where's Antonelli?
05:05That's the Ferrari stop.
05:07What's the order?
05:08Crucially, Oscar Piastri is ahead.
05:11That is magnificent work for McLaren and it needed to be.
05:163.2 for Mercedes.
05:192.3 for Haas.
05:21An extraordinary stop under pressure.
05:23They needed that one.
05:25Verstappen promoted to P3 on the road.
05:27New rubber for Behrman and Russell.
05:31Again, Piastri looks so quick at this stage.
05:35But it's the end of the straight that we're interested in and Piastri is going for it.
05:38Trying to slow the McLaren down.
05:40Russell will throw it to the inside.
05:42But George Russell knew he was racing one of the contenders for the title.
05:46And that's a major move for Oscar Piastri to claim P5.
05:52This was the swap of positions.
05:54George Russell said give me a chance to get past the Haas.
05:57They both made their second stop.
05:58Pass by Piastri.
05:59And Russell gives back the place.
06:01Brilliant pass from Bortoleto.
06:03Rookie v rookie.
06:04That is superb.
06:07Got a yellow flag out.
06:09Carlos Sainz.
06:10Has he pulled off the road at the final corner?
06:12He's in a really safe spot there.
06:14He's merged into the barrier actually.
06:16He was camouflaged so well.
06:17The Ferrari under pressure for Max Verstappen.
06:19Who needs these points for the World Championship.
06:22And he forces the Ferrari to go defensive.
06:24He'll be heaping the pressure on.
06:26It's all on turn one the next lap.
06:28Leclerc struggling for traction out of six.
06:30And the virtual safety car is deployed to neutralize the race.
06:35The green flag will fly at the end.
06:37And Charles Leclerc has to get through this corner.
06:40Max Verstappen did not get the opportunity into turn number one.
06:43All the while.
06:44Lando Norris finds himself into the stadium section.
06:47They're fighting over second position.
06:50Lando Norris is in the final corners of the last lap.
06:53What a weekend this has been for Lando Norris.
06:56Who comes across the line.
06:58And wins the Mexico City Grand Prix.
07:02Lando Norris in position to retake the championship lead.
07:06If it finishes like this.
07:08Charles Leclerc has second place.
07:10Heading into the stadium section.
07:12Verstappen was all over him under traction.
07:14It was a brilliant stint from the driver who finds himself in third.
07:18It could have been second.
07:20But Charles Leclerc will hang on.
07:22The timing of the virtual safety car is so important.
07:25Charles Leclerc hangs on to second position.
07:28Max Verstappen will complete the podium.
07:30And Oliver Behrman will get his personal best result in Formula One of P4.
07:36And we have a new championship leader.
07:41Beautiful weekend.
07:43Well done everyone.
07:44Incredible result.
07:45Wonderful car.
07:46Thanks for the hard work.
07:47Keep it up.
07:48Lando Norris has put together one of his finest Formula One Grand Prix weekends at the perfect moment.
07:55We have four Grand Prix remaining to crown a champion.
07:59Three brilliant drivers in contention.
