00:008th lap, Canadian Grand Prix, 3rd time lucky everybody
00:04It's lights out, away we go, Russell and Antonelli away
00:08Fast starting Lando Norris though is coming to join the Mercedes in Turn 1
00:12Russell's lost two places, Lando goes into the first corner, keeps that lead from Antonelli
00:17Russell round the outside goes Piastri on the inside, Hamilton then comes Max Verstappen
00:21And Lando Norris, maybe he's on the wrong tyre choice, does lead this Canadian Grand Prix
00:27Will be coming in the pit at the end of this straight
00:30And that would mean Kimi Antonelli would then lead this Canadian Grand Prix with George Russell
00:36His teammate behind him, and do you know what, by the time we get to the end of this straight
00:39Antonelli might be in the lead anyway, Lando can go straight on here
00:42Norris have to take the corner, does so, and as he moves into the pit lane, Kimi Antonelli now leads
00:48Back in the pack like that, they're doing 1 minute 20s and 21s
00:53Where the leaders are doing 1 minute 17s
00:55You're only five laps into that, and you've lost a pit stop
00:59This is how Lando Norris powered his way off the line and into the lead
01:03So far this season, five Grand Prix starts
01:05And the leader of lap one has always come from the second row of the grid
01:09Norris got a great start, his teammate Oscar Piastri, horrible for him
01:13Going backwards and having to pit earlier than Norris
01:17Let's watch on board with the McLaren, George Russell very sluggish off the line
01:23Yeah, and he moved across to cover off Antonelli, and that opened the way up very nicely for us in
01:30the lead there on board
01:32Yeah, he got just a little bit too low on the revs there for George
01:36Here comes George Russell, down that back straight, lock up from Antonelli, who goes off the track
01:42Almost hits his teammate, almost hits the wall, somehow survives, and George Russell takes over as a new race leader
01:48of the Canadian Grand Prix
01:49Much more likely to lock the front axle, look at the speed that he's coming up
01:54Yeah, how close was this as Antonelli locked up?
01:57Whoa, not much between front wing and rear tyre
02:01Yeah, second at the detection point
02:04Does he get the extra half megajoule of harvesting and a higher top speed?
02:09But Verstappen's certainly got some top speed, hasn't he?
02:11He is up into third place
02:13They've got no power, man
02:15Come on, guys
02:17Lapping in the high 1.16s
02:21And there, Kimi Antonelli, new race leader
02:24George Russell is right behind him
02:26Antonelli did get past George Russell momentarily
02:29Into the hairpin, Russell has retaken that lead on lap 12
02:33So that's a second, you can see Alex Albon on your screen on the GPS tracker
02:39Stationery currently, we're not quite sure why
02:41There's a bit of debris is there on the track
02:43Certainly looks that way
02:45Single waved yellows rather than double waved yellows
02:49So less urgently in need of slowing down
02:54Has Oscar Piastri had a moment with Alex Albon here?
02:57Because he was right behind him
02:58And they are changing the front wing on Oscar Piastri's McLaren
03:01A second visit into the pits for him
03:04Watch on the left-hand side of your screen
03:06We've got the two Mercedes live in the main picture
03:09Here comes Piastri back
03:11Straight to the side of Alex Albon
03:13That is so unfortunate there for Alex Albon
03:15Nothing he could do about that
03:17Completely innocent in that moment
03:20Going to get to the ends on those tyres
03:21We need to box this lap, it's a reliability problem
03:25And it's not a tyre issue at all
03:28This is big, big disappointment for Lando Norris in Miami
03:31Last time out, he was on the podium for the first time
03:34As the reigning world champion
03:35And look, they're looking in the side pods there, aren't they?
03:38Because there's a difference in opinion
03:39Oh, another lock-up
03:39Russell locks up and Antonelli for the second time in this race
03:42Could take opportunity
03:44No, George Russell didn't go as deep this time around
03:47Antonelli couldn't get past him
03:49But he's got the momentum now
03:51Down the back straight
03:52He's alongside George Russell
03:53He's just slightly ahead of George Russell
03:55Who's going to be last on the brakes?
03:58They are wheel to wheel
03:59And it's George Russell
04:00Who manages to squeeze through
04:02And that was close
04:03But absolutely brilliant
04:05As Russell hangs on
04:07Once again, George Russell
04:08Managing to stay in the lead
04:10But for how much longer?
04:11Because here comes Kimi Antonelli
04:13As they lap one car
04:14Antonelli moves back into the lead
04:17At the Canadian Grand Prix
04:19It is you sir, you sir, you sir, you sir
04:23As far as Mercedes are concerned
04:25A little bit of a buffer now
04:26Ahead of Lewis Hamilton
04:27After Hamilton's triple
04:28Oh, that's a big, big pick up
04:29Is that a big lock-up there?
04:30From Kimi Antonelli
04:31Just when you think it might settle down
04:33Antonelli this time
04:34Is the one to lock up
04:35And George Russell
04:36Retakes the lead of the Canadian Grand Prix
04:39But he's half a car length ahead
04:41And Kimi Antonelli could fight this one back again
04:43Towards the final chicane we go
04:45Is Antonelli far enough ahead
04:47To claim the corner?
04:48And do they touch?
04:49Antonelli has to go up
04:51Into the runoff area
04:52And takes the lead
04:53But he might need to give that place back again
04:55Calm this down
04:56You're now rubbing wheels
04:59And unsurprisingly
05:01He's been told
05:01To give that position back
05:03Why did he push me off?
05:05And I was ahead
05:06Like
05:07What's the point?
05:10Absolute Barnstorm River Grand Prix
05:13Convenient
05:13Just before the threes
05:15I think that was just when it was given to him
05:16So head down
05:17Let's draw
05:18A lot of laps to go
05:19Getting the struggle on those tyres
05:21And Antonelli
05:22Oh! He's gone off into the grass
05:23Kimi Antonelli's back in the lead again
05:26Lando Norris unlands himself
05:28And George Russell slowing down
05:29Is he stopping?
05:31And is he out of this race?
05:32He has come to a standstill
05:34By the side of the track
05:35And after 29 laps
05:38Of brilliant racing
05:39It's all over
05:41For George Russell
05:42He
05:42Listen
05:51Oh yeah
05:52Such a loss of power
05:53Yeah
05:53He just drove off the track
05:55To get off the track
05:56Rather than
05:57Oh dear
05:58Sounds like a
06:00Bag of spanners
06:01Doesn't it?
06:02And that's
06:02Why he still stood
06:04By the side of the track
06:06Shaking his head
06:07And then this battle
06:08It's the closest battle
06:08On the track currently
06:09And Charles Leclerc
06:10Is coming
06:11And Isaac Hadjar
06:12Right now
06:12And Isaac Hadjar
06:13Just covered it off
06:15And Charles Leclerc's a bit
06:16Do I go?
06:17Do I not go?
06:18Is there a gap?
06:19Is there not a gap?
06:20I haven't thought better of it
06:21No
06:22That was the earlier
06:23Shoot one
06:24The lap earlier
06:25They were actually
06:26Past pit entry
06:27Before the BSC
06:28Was deployed
06:28So that's why
06:29They're in these positions
06:30That makes sense
06:30Thanks a lot
06:31Bernie
06:32Almost got completely
06:34Onto the grass as well
06:35Yeah you can't do that
06:36You can't wait for the other driver
06:37To make their move
06:38And then react to it
06:40And he made two moves as well
06:42Paul Pinto
06:42On a hard compound tyre
06:43I just think he had no grip
06:44Whatsoever
06:45George Russell's back in the panic
06:47It's Charles Leclerc
06:48Back in the top four
06:49He's ahead of Hadjar
06:51He's got that place
06:52Hadjar will try and fight it back
06:53But Charles Leclerc
06:54Is comfortably ahead
06:55Going into the chicane
06:57This then is Lando Norris
06:58Going very slowly
07:00With some
07:01Lots of words
07:03Anti-stool it says
07:04On his steering wheel
07:05And just a complete McLaren
07:08Something's broken
07:08Something's broken
07:09Here about
07:10Gearbox or something
07:13Last year
07:14Made contact with his teammate
07:15Down the main straight
07:16This year
07:16He thinks it's a gearbox problem
07:19Oh and that did
07:19Sound absolutely rock
07:21Didn't it?
07:22Yeah
07:22It's under full load
07:23It's kicked into anti-storm
07:25To keep the engine going
07:27And the engine
07:28Still running
07:29So that sort of sounds alright
07:30So it's transmission
07:32Issues there
07:32For Lando Norris
07:33Absolutely
07:344.8 seconds clear
07:36Sergio Perez
07:37Has hit a wall somewhere
07:38I would imagine
07:39From another car
07:40Or Ocon
07:41Wasn't it?
07:42He was having a big old squabble
07:43Yeah Ocon
07:44Had got ahead of him
07:45Massive front suspension
07:46Damage there
07:47For Sergio Perez
07:48He is out
07:49This is the incident
07:50Martin
07:50Has
07:52Yeah
07:53Okay
07:54Oh no it just broke
07:55Yeah whether it's had contact
07:57At some point
07:57That's fractured it
07:59But broke
07:59He wasn't even breaking that hard
08:01He recognised
08:01Coming down the straight
08:02That he'd got a problem developing
08:04Lewis now picking up the pace
08:0615.0
08:07Yeah
08:08Let's stop sticking
08:09Until the last lap
08:10Until the last lap
08:11And anything
08:12Absolutely critical
08:13Cars running in the top seven
08:16Which is not bad
08:16For a brand new
08:17Power unit manufacturer
08:18In Formula 1
08:19That's what happened
08:20For Charles Leclerc
08:21Ah
08:22And that's why he's running on his own
08:23A little bit
08:24And he very nearly
08:25Went the full spin there
08:27But managed to save it
08:28The yellow flags are stopped now
08:30So they can actually have a go
08:31Down towards turn one
08:33As Lewis is right on
08:34Max's tail here
08:35And he's gonna go
08:36The long way round the outside
08:37Late on the brakes
08:38Hamilton produces
08:40A masterclass in overtaking
08:42Rolls back the years
08:43Here in Montreal
08:44And finally gets past Max Verstappen
08:47And into second
08:48This is Nico Hülkenberg
08:49I mentioned that he had a moment
08:51Down at turn one
08:53Oh there he goes
08:55Suddenly he's facing the wrong way
08:57I don't know if he dipped a tyre onto the grass
09:00But he did
09:02Hülkenberg put a tyre on the grass
09:03Right, here we go
09:04Looking forward to this
09:06Max leaves racing room
09:10And Lewis just takes the racing line then
09:12And gets plenty of grip
09:13Max was
09:15Chuck Geddes, Lewis' mum
09:17Carmen, absolutely brilliant
09:19Four rounds in my F2
09:20Championship winning season
09:21I was in P6
09:22I was 36 points behind
09:23I'm used to making up the ground
09:25But it's still an awful long way
09:27Isn't it?
09:28That's Lawson and Gasly there
09:29Didn't start from pole today
09:31But he's going to become the first driver
09:33To win his first four Grand Prix
09:35All in a row
09:36The chequered flag's there again
09:38For Kimi Antonelli
09:39And he wins the Canadian Grand Prix
09:42A round of applause
09:43In the Mercedes garage
09:45Antonelli victorious
09:47Lewis Hamilton
09:48Through goes Hamilton
09:50To take second place
09:51With Max Verstappen on the podium
09:53For the first time this season
09:55Nice work Kimi
09:56It's been a very eventful day
09:58But well done
10:00Yeah, thank you everyone
10:01Not the way I wanted to win
10:05It was going to be a good fight with George
10:07But yeah, we'll take it
