00:00Russell with the best view in the house a long run down to turn one
00:03It's all eyes to the lights and foot to the floor as we go racing in Barcelona
00:08And it's a good start from George Russell who immediately cuts across to keep Lewis Hamilton behind watch out for
00:14Lando Norris and
00:15Kimi Antonelli side-by-side behind
00:17Hamilton hold second as they sweep into turn one Norris hounding Antonelli
00:22But the top three as they started the Red Bull really struggling with their starts
00:26Trying to catch up to the back of Carlos Sainz this time Sainz driving defensively through the right hander but
00:32sweeping around the outside
00:34Nicely done for the Frenchman in the Red Bull
00:36So these early phases I was looking out the window at this Hamilton actually got away initially better than Russell
00:43Looking down on top of that but Russell then had a tremendous sort of second phase whereas the Ferrari
00:50Unusually didn't because that's what they were doing earlier on in the year
00:53Lewis thinking about going around the outside then it's getting really close there with Norris and Antonelli
00:59There is the there are the two cars that cut through the runoff on the first corner
01:05So Leclerc is going to have a good start here
01:07That's Hadjar starting so
01:09Wow
01:11Starting slowly
01:12That was a bit too close for comfort for Charles Leclerc
01:15Hadjar did get away but just slowly and fell all the way down
01:20And Charles Leclerc quick reaction the Audi doesn't really have an
01:23Uh the Hülkenberg wouldn't it didn't really
01:26Have an excuse there
01:28And this was the move we caught as well of Esteban Ocon going around the outside of it
01:32This is Hamilton's teammate Charles Leclerc heading down to turn one
01:37And oh that was a bit too close into the back of Oscar Piastri
01:41Well he was a bit close in the first corners of the race wasn't he
01:45And that was nearly the second Ferrari nose wiped out there
01:48But it was interesting to see just how much later Leclerc could break
01:54Unfortunately there was nowhere to go when he got there
01:56Here we come then Charles Leclerc all over the back of Oscar Piastri once again heading down into turn one
02:03Feels like Piastri slightly compromised through turn two
02:06Round the right hand are at three
02:08Leclerc's gonna have the advantage the momentum
02:10Round the outside wheel to wheel
02:11The Ferrari gets a nosed head
02:13But Piastri will have the inside line
02:16But the writing is on the wall
02:18How's the pace how's the tyres
02:21Just yeah sliding everywhere
02:25See some Ferrari mechanics preparing themselves
02:27Whoa they're coming into the pit box
02:29Wow okay I didn't think it would be this lap
02:31And we've been rumbling on the straight it's not impressive
02:34Copy
02:36And Max Verstappen saying he's struggling on the tyres as well
02:40So it looks like Lewis has had enough with the soft tyres
02:42The hard tyres are out for the seventh time world champion
02:45Thanks Ted and Hamilton is in the pit lane heading towards his Ferrari mechanics
02:51Marks his stops and tries to be as quick as possible
02:54So Mercedes will have to react to this now
02:57The leaders from pitting
02:58So Lewis in
03:00He's already going for a three
03:03In their control on that front
03:06Hajar trying to make his way up the inside of Oli Behrman's house
03:10And up into ninth
03:11And does so before the final corner
03:13And the Red Bull starts to speed away
03:16Down the start finish straight
03:17Chasing Lawson
03:18Okay Frank this is an instruction we need to switch cars into turn one please switch into turn one
03:23Switch cars
03:24Hey for
03:25Two into turn four please turn four switch the cars
03:27It's one of the sickles work
03:29Happy of bridging
03:32As we just take a look at before we come to you Karoud
03:35Hajar lining up Arvid Lindblad and this is going to be pretty easy for the Frenchman
03:40To the middle of the road ahead of the British rookie in the junior team
03:45Hard compact
03:47A firm Kimmy
03:48Good lap times
03:50Two for Lewis Hamilton
03:51Antonelli is the one that is going significantly quicker
03:54And this is what Nico Hülkenberg wasn't very happy about Martin
03:58Yeah
03:58It's moving in the braking zone
04:00You're not allowed to do that
04:03And meanwhile in the other Audi of Gabriel Bortoletto
04:07Down the inside of the Haas of Esteban Ocon
04:11And he makes
04:11Pulling the trigger again
04:12And forcing everybody else maybe into three stopping today
04:16It's back to the medium tyres for Lewis Hamilton
04:19So maybe he could go to the end on that
04:21Let's see how this pit stop goes
04:23Just see him dive into the pit stand
04:25Almost well he is locking up
04:27Trying to hit the pit limiter as he heads in
04:29To the pit lane to be serviced by Ferrari
04:31Yeah this is a bit of a conundrum for Mercedes-Benz
04:34What do they do with George Russell?
04:36So update Lewis will be on a three
04:39We are still racing at Norris
04:41So we need to keep these lap times going
04:43So we know what times we need to do
04:4620.9
04:47Charles is in Ford
04:48You are a different strategy
04:51Boxed in here by the Ferrari pit call for Hamilton
04:54A few laps ago
04:55Russell who had commanded this race
04:57But it's now falling by the wayside
05:00Is he going to fight this one?
05:01He is, he moves to the middle of the track
05:02Defending from Antonelli
05:04George Russell holds the line into turn one
05:06But runs much deeper
05:08Antonelli is going to get the better run out of the corner
05:10The two Mercedes almost side by side
05:12Antonelli just has to tuck back
05:15Underneath his teammate as we head towards turn four
05:18You need to think of the big picture
05:19You are catching now?
05:20You are catching anyway
05:22Keep pushing, keep pushing
05:23So pit stop imminent for the race leader
05:27Let's not slow each other down
05:28Racing
05:29We need to keep that gap to Norris
05:30Nice and healthy
05:31Now at 4.3
05:34And we are running other seven laps on this set
05:37This is our race
05:38Give everything these seven laps
05:40It's the critical moment
05:41We have our chance
05:43Other Ferrari driver
05:44With Russell behind
05:45Not making it easy for the Brit
05:47And closes the door on Russell
05:49But Russell elbows his way past
05:52And gets all squirrelly on the exit
05:54But that is not what Russell would have wanted
05:57Maybe it's what he would have expected
05:58We've got a yellow flag out
05:59And Martin, it looks like it's Alonso
06:01He stopped just before turn nine
06:05As you can see on the screen now
06:06So where is he?
06:07Is he off the racing?
06:08Oh, he's off on the grass
06:10And the cruel irony of being in front of his home grandstand
06:14Which is where that is based
06:15And not immediately getting out of the car
06:17But that surely will lead to a safety car
06:20It's going to be a virtual safety car
06:22Hamilton making his way towards the penultimate corner now
06:25This could be a big call for Ferrari
06:27And it looks like they are moving to get that cheap stop
06:30Hamilton edging closer to a first possible victory
06:34But let's see what Mercedes do as well
06:35As Hamilton heads into the pit lane
06:37Perfect timing for Lewis
06:39Well, it could have been a touch later
06:41But they will have to use this
06:43Because it gives him track position
06:44And it's played into Ferrari's and Lewis Hamilton's hands
06:48By three-stopping
06:50Very timely safety car there
06:52And this has worked out beautifully for Ferrari
06:56In terms of a cheap pit stop
06:59And gives him track position
07:0724 laps remaining
07:09That's the race up ahead of you
07:11Got 1.3 behind
07:12Hamilton 1.9
07:141.3 behind
07:18Copy that, Kimmy
07:19Giving him a little boost of energy
07:21Down that start, finish straight
07:22Moves to the middle of the track
07:24Russell will almost feed him into the grass
07:26But Antonelli does not falter
07:28Onto the brakes
07:29Antonelli gets in front
07:31Can Russell fight back with the up and under
07:33The two Mercedes almost side by side
07:35Russell's not want to give this one up
07:37Without a fight
07:38But Antonelli has the advantage
07:40And is through
07:41Move to the inside
07:43Into the braking
07:44For turn four
07:45Russell sticking right there with him
07:47Under the rear wing
07:48Of his Italian teammate
07:50And then just has to bail out of it
07:52So, Kimmy, you've got five laps remaining
07:55So just warning for track loops
07:57It's not, it's not slowing
07:58Five exit
07:59Then ten exit
08:00And then he's slowing
08:00He's stopped
08:01Problem
08:01Problem for Antonelli
08:03Who moves to the side of the racetrack
08:05And is pulling over
08:07And slowing
08:08And coming to a stop
08:10Right at the close of the Barcelona
08:12Catalunya Grand Prix
08:15And the engine's gone
08:16And Charles Leclerc is going slow as well
08:19We've got a yellow flag out on track for Antonelli
08:21Leclerc going incredibly slowly
08:23Down in seventh
08:25Has he just picked up the pace
08:27He's about to come towards Antonelli now
08:30Hamilton's got nearly 20 seconds out in front
08:32The power steering
08:32Oh, I'm losing the power steering
08:35Crucially it's not a full safety car
08:37Yeah, I was going to say
08:37It means nothing while it's a virtual safety car
08:42Yeah, they lost the power steering
08:44And the car went off the road
08:48That's giving us three Brits
08:49On the podium at the moment
08:51In the closing stages
08:53Hamilton, Russell, Norris
08:55Max Verstappen now
08:57Up into fourth place
08:58Been coming for Hamilton for a while now
09:01Second season at Ferrari
09:03And he's firing on all cylinders
09:06686 days have been and gone
09:09And Hamilton is back
09:11On the top step of the podium
09:13Lewis Hamilton wins
09:15The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix
09:18And he can barely believe it
09:21But a superb drive
09:23From the seven-time champion
09:25Now a seven-time winner
09:28Around this circuit
09:29As the Tifosi are elated in the grandstands
09:33With George Russell and Lando Norris
09:36Making it an all-British podium
09:38For the first time since 1968
09:42History made today in Barcelona
09:45Even talking about going back
