00:00Russell, Leclerc are in. They've rolled the dice.
00:04That's smart. I like it from Russell and from Leclerc.
00:06These are fast drivers in good grip positions that have given that up
00:09to put on slicks and save themselves a pit stop.
00:13Five red lights at Silverstone and the British Grand Prix is go.
00:18They crawl from the line and Oscar Piastri has the traction.
00:21Max Verstappen thinks about the chop.
00:23He hangs on to the race lead from pole position.
00:25Piastri is now compromised and Lando Norris knows it.
00:28The driver currently in third, trying to improve ahead.
00:31He can't get by, but he's angling that car.
00:33Hamilton diving to the inside.
00:35The top four remain. How they left the grid.
00:38Verstappen, then Piastri, Norris and Hamilton.
00:40Pierre Gasly got a mighty launch off the line.
00:43He's up three places.
00:44Yeah, and we'll look at that early break for Verstappen
00:47as the two McLarens were battling through.
00:49Oh, off in the background.
00:50We saw a racing buzz.
00:51It's got to be Liam Lawson who has gone off.
00:54That is the heavy contact.
00:56We saw the flash of Lawson spinning round, but the car damaged,
01:00the suspension impacted and race over.
01:02He'll see Ocon's there and think, let's try and hang it.
01:04But he won't know that Ocon has, I think, Yuki Tsunoda on his inside as well.
01:09Who the hell is that?
01:11I'm out.
01:12Who the hell is that?
01:13Whoever this house was next to me.
01:15Oh, dude, he just drove straight to the side of me.
01:19What happened to the Brazilian driver in the points a week ago?
01:22Look, it's so slow.
01:23He's on slick tires and he's going to apply the power and off.
01:26Yeah, man.
01:27Sorry.
01:28It's okay.
01:29No worries.
01:31Stroll has come into the pit lane.
01:33There's a chance here to score big points.
01:36It's very unpredictable out there right now.
01:39Verstappen is loose.
01:41He's fast and loose right now out front, keeping the McLaren behind.
01:44But look at his lines.
01:45He's soaring away.
01:45He's nearly lost it.
01:47And Piastri just has to pick his moment.
01:49The championship leader comes out of the slipstream, past the red ball.
01:54Papaya out front.
01:55Piastri takes the lead of the British Grand Prix.
01:59And even though this is the Lando Norris Grandstand,
02:01they're cheering for everyone right now.
02:05Incredibly difficult conditions for everyone right now.
02:08Yeah, it never rains, but it pours.
02:09That is a proper dumping of water as they go down.
02:13Wellington straight into Brooklands.
02:15Look at how much traction Lando Norris has in comparison.
02:19Send it to Maggots Corner.
02:21Side by side.
02:22Lando Norris knows he's got better tyres at the moment.
02:24And Verstappen is clinging on to the track at the moment.
02:27We saw that radio message there.
02:29They're bringing in Piastri.
02:30He's off.
02:31He's off at last.
02:32Couple of moments.
02:33One, two, three.
02:34And this time he goes off the racetrack.
02:37And Max Verstappen will just bring it back to the pits.
02:39They will all be heading in on this lap.
02:43So those who have stopped, it's not quick.
02:46It's not quick there for Lando Norris.
02:48And Max Verstappen, having lost the position, gains it back.
02:53That was Charles Leclerc off the road at Beckett's corner.
02:55And he is lucky because that grass is not flat, I can tell you.
03:01This is on the verge of a safety car.
03:04And it is extraordinary rain.
03:06It is biblical out there.
03:10Oscar Piastri has a clear view.
03:12Everyone else, less so.
03:14As we go back to attacking racing at the British Grand Prix.
03:17And that is Russell to the inside of Lewis Hamilton at Abbey Turn.
03:22That's an unusual one.
03:24Yeah, Hamilton still struggling to find the grip.
03:26The first couple of laps of the race, he was there.
03:28Oh, and it's very, very tight.
03:30Very, very close to contact as Hamilton gets ahead.
03:33They're scrambling around Ocon, who is dropping like a stone.
03:36But that was a brilliant move then from Hamilton, having lost the place to Russell.
03:40Went round the outside of Ocon.
03:41Russell looked to the inside and he lost one place, but then gained two.
03:46And the safety car is out once more.
03:48Because it's a big moment for Isaac Hajar, who's gone off on the restart lap.
03:55This gives us a great insight to just how little the car sees.
03:58He's rear-ended.
03:59Oh, my word.
04:00He's rear-ended the car in front.
04:02I didn't see him.
04:03I mean, he appeared out of nowhere, man.
04:05Oh, my God.
04:08Safety car is ending.
04:09And that is Max Verstappen past the race leader.
04:12Enough for the timing to swap them round.
04:16Here we go again.
04:18Pick your restart moment.
04:19You cannot be in.
04:20Oh, he's going to lose it.
04:21Max Verstappen spins around from second position and loses a hat full of places.
04:27Verstappen had to take avoiding action and he drops down to ninth position in the Grand Prix.
04:32Currently racing up against the Williams of Alex Albon.
04:34He's in a Williams sandwich at the moment.
04:38Oh, mate.
04:40It's .
04:40This is suddenly against those down.
04:42It's a ten-second time penalty for Oscar Piastri.
04:47Look at the difference in closing speed.
04:49Again, down at Stowe Corner.
04:52So, Hamilton, will he go for the inside?
04:54This is what he wants.
04:54The inside line.
04:55He gets past the Alpine.
04:57And the crowd will love that move.
04:59The Ferrari man is up to P5.
05:03Here comes Hülkenberg.
05:05Hülkenberg's got DRS.
05:06Hülkenberg goes through to a podium position.
05:11It is race number 239 in his Formula One career.
05:15And you just watched Hülkenberg go to third.
05:20With the DRS, Hamilton now has a chance to make it through cleanly past Stroll as well.
05:24He's very close into the breaking zone of Village.
05:26And Hamilton has the inside line.
05:28Hamilton has the place.
05:32Verstappen through turn one.
05:34Will he try a dive down into three?
05:36Will he try a dive into four?
05:38I'll just keep gleaming the corners until he tries a dive.
05:41Keep going DC.
05:42There we go.
05:44Number four comes up for car number one.
05:47And he makes his way by.
05:51So Norris goes again.
05:5210 second wait for McLaren.
05:55Now they get the signal.
05:56They get the call.
05:57And he's back into the Grand Prix.
06:00He goes for the inside.
06:02But is he going to have contact?
06:04Yes.
06:05And it's happened before at Silverstone with the Haas cars.
06:09Behrman and Ocon come together, racing each other.
06:15Take off the pit stop because that one's gone to plan.
06:18Lando has the lead at Silverstone.
06:20But how can he keep it between the white lines with Piastri 5.8 seconds behind?
06:30I don't think the penalty before was very fair.
06:34If you don't think it was fair either, I think we should swap back and race.
06:39Charles Leclerc with the correction into the gravel.
06:42And he's still P14 after that moment like he was last year.
06:46Yeah, that's painful in still corner.
06:51In 2025, it's Norris's name on the trophy.
06:55Lando Norris wins the British Grand Prix.
07:00Oscar Piastri will say the penalty was so unfair.
07:04But it's a McLaren 1-2 as Norris takes seven points out of his advantage.
07:11And how about this, no one has ever waited as long to stand on a Formula 1 podium.
07:19Get rid of that stat and celebrate Nico Hülkenberg.
07:26239 starts and a podium finisher in Formula 1 at long, long last.
07:35On the last lap, Pierre Gasly's tidy race had one more pass.
07:39He got past Lance Stroll into Stowe corner.
07:43Bravo! Nice pass, nice race for Alpine and Pierre as well.
07:47This is a day to savour the sight and sound of Silverstone.
07:53With a surprise podium finisher in Nico Hülkenberg.
07:57A controversial penalty for Oscar Piastri.
08:01And a home win for Lando Norris.
