00:00And we will look to the lights for the first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix start at the Mad Ring.
00:06And we're underway for the Spanish Grand Prix.
00:09Mega defence for Lando Norris, he needed it.
00:11It was a good launch for Kimi Antonelli, who has the inside line and has to bail out of it.
00:16He takes the lead on track, but he'll have to feather out the throttle and give it back to Lando
00:20Norris.
00:20That was not a legal overtake.
00:22And Lando Norris goes back past Kimi Antonelli.
00:24Can Max Verstappen get past both of them?
00:26He's got no room.
00:27He had so much speed, but he had no room to get by.
00:29And Antonelli is getting close.
00:31Has to bail out again into turn five.
00:33Will have to feather out again.
00:35And Lando Norris will go back.
00:37Will Verstappen come through as well?
00:38Norris retakes the position into the bunker.
00:41And Verstappen gets Antonelli.
00:43He's up to second place.
00:44Yeah, and what's going to be interesting as well, Verstappen and Hamilton banged wheels.
00:48And Verstappen went across the exit of the chicane.
00:51I suspect you'll see he was forced off the track.
00:54Hamilton launches off the line.
00:55There we go.
00:56Norris covers Antonelli.
00:57And Lewis looked like he was going to take the lead for a moment.
00:59It doesn't.
01:00And Max clearly came from behind, took the place, and then just kept his foot in to go
01:04and rival the front duo up at turn five.
01:07Piastri loses three spots.
01:09One a hard tyre.
01:10This is how.
01:11Contact there.
01:12Twice.
01:13Well, we're going to find out how effective the front end plate is on that McLaren.
01:47So this is last but one on the grid.
01:47If I just stay on the track, if I just stay on the track, we are out of the race.
01:51And there is the moment.
01:53He listens.
01:53Antonelli is through and standing on the brakes, sledding Hamilton by.
01:57Can he get back into the order?
01:59He can.
02:01I think I've had brake failure.
02:03Pedal's going long.
02:04Pedal's going straight so far.
02:06If Hamilton's not got the defense here, this could be Verstappen's chance to pounce again.
02:10And Hamilton goes over the road.
02:12Even with a car that is damaged, you will get pinged if you keep doing that.
02:18Verstappen goes by.
02:19Hamilton drops down.
02:20And surely he's not going to be able to continue.
02:22If that issue persists, you can see how intensively he's driving.
02:27That car is not functioning normally.
02:30Ocon gets by now into the points.
02:32Now he's got a long, long lap to get back round again on a flat-spotted tyre.
02:36I don't have brakes, guys.
02:36He's gone from banging wheels, getting the place back.
02:41The moment he was given the place, his brakes have expired.
02:44And we are boxing, we are retiring.
02:48Conor Pinto has been trying to keep Liam Lawson back.
02:52Does he have another opportunity?
02:54All gets a bit single file as he gets to the bunker.
02:57And Lawson gets up to P6.
02:59Good move, that from Lawson.
03:02On board with the King of Spain.
03:04This would be impressive.
03:05He managed to pull off an overtake.
03:07But no, what he does do is damage his front wing.
03:10Contact between the home favourites.
03:13He squeezed me into the wall, man.
03:15At the start, he crashed into two people.
03:17Now he squeezed me into the wall, I'm breaking.
03:20Get a yellow flag out.
03:22And it's Lance Stroll who's off.
03:24Virtual safety car is deployed.
03:26Race is neutralised.
03:27Let's go on board with Lance Stroll.
03:29Going deep into 20 in the Aston Martin.
03:31Tries to spin it round and then...
03:34Doesn't have the torque.
03:36So, VSC and Antonelli pits.
03:39Antonelli straight away taking the benefit of pitting under the virtual safety car.
03:44A benefit of the cars being at a restricted pace out on the circuit.
03:48So Norris just didn't have the call on that.
03:50By the time the virtual commode, he'd already passed the pit lane.
03:54It's ending and Norris is just coming to the pits.
03:56That is disastrous timing.
03:58It was too far for Norris.
03:59It was too far to make it back.
04:01Remember, he's now going to have to lose the full time.
04:04He's going to lose 25 seconds instead of the 13 that his rivals lost.
04:09And Leclerc will come round as a race leader.
04:11Coming into the final turn now.
04:13And they've got a slow stop.
04:14Front right.
04:15It was such a good stint for Lando Norris.
04:18It's all come undone with the timing of that safety car.
04:21Through goes the Ferrari.
04:23But crucially, through goes Antonelli as well.
04:25And Verstappen.
04:26And the race lead has been prized from Lando Norris' hands.
04:30He's got it all to do.
04:33George Russell comes in.
04:35Russell spent 13 laps on those medium tyres.
04:38They grained up for Antonelli.
04:40And Mercedes get rid of them.
04:41On to the fresh hard rubber.
04:432.2 seconds.
04:44Why do we fear?
04:45I'm not going to hold Norris on.
04:49Slick work on the pit stop.
04:52Piastri making his way to the very long exit of the pit lane.
04:57Gagler cars chasing on behind.
05:00And Piastri finds himself behind Arvid Lindblad.
05:05Max Verstappen is 7 tenths of a second away for Kimi Antonelli.
05:10He's now in the dirty air.
05:12He is forcing the net race leader to get on with it.
05:16There's the real race leader.
05:17Still needs to stop.
05:20Charles Leclerc who finally stops.
05:23And Kimi Antonelli has the lead.
05:25But he has Max Verstappen 9 tenths of a second away.
05:28And now Antonelli will try and make use of the clear air that he's got.
05:32And Charles Leclerc will exit the pits in the fourth position.
05:35Ferrari were waiting and waiting and waiting for hoping.
05:38And it didn't turn up.
05:39They did not get their race intervention.
05:43And the flag is being prepared.
05:47Defensive move from Lindblad.
05:49Hülkenberg going for a gap that was always going to disappear.
05:52And he was momentarily up.
05:54But he has to give the place back.
05:55And it's all in the path of those trying to clear it.
05:57So they're battling for the minor points as two of the top three come through.
06:02And Verstappen's managed to get past it.
06:04So Mele into turn one.
06:05Now he's deep this time.
06:06He's under real pressure.
06:07What boost has Lando Norris got?
06:09They climb the hill to the bunker and there's no way by.
06:12There was a chance into five.
06:14Deep moment for Max Verstappen into turn five.
06:16But it's single file through there.
06:20These are the final corners of the last lap.
06:23It was spectacular a week ago for a fairy tale in Monza.
06:29In Madrid, he had to bide his time until the Ferrari pitted.
06:33For the eighth time in Formula One, Kimi Antonelli wins a Grand Prix.
06:38He wins the Spanish Grand Prix by 4.3 seconds.
06:42Ahead of Lando Norris, Antonelli takes the first victory at the Mad Ring.
06:47Verstappen in second.
06:49Norris in third.
06:50And although Russell has caught Charles Leclerc.
06:52Charles Leclerc will tick off the final corners and come home for fourth place.
06:58Antonelli extends his advantage in the World Championship to 81 points.
07:03When you luck's in, you luck's in.
07:06Antonelli now with eight career victories and a huge margin in the World Championship.
07:14Beautiful work, Kimi.
07:16Absolute masterpiece.
07:18Good job, guys.
07:20Well done, mate.
07:21Yeah, lucky for the safety car.
07:24Virtu safety car, sorry.
07:25Yeah, I feel a bit bad for Lando, but really strong race, strong weekend.
07:30Let's keep pushing.
07:31Thank you, everyone.
07:32Well done, Kimi.
07:32Let's keep pushing.
07:33Yeah, we're going to keep pushing all the way.
07:34Every driver taught to think race by race, but he knows it is five rounds in a row.
07:42He's extended his lead in the World Championship.
07:46Two wins in a week.
07:48One at home in Monza.
07:50One to enjoy in Madrid.
07:53One at home in Monza.
07:55One at home in Monza.
08:04One at home in Monza.
08:04One at home in Monza.
