00:06:36If you're starting effectively eight metres behind,

00:06:40you need a very good start to make that up.

00:06:44And if you're Zac Brown, the CEO at McLaren,

00:06:46or Andrea Estella, the team principal,

00:06:48and you've got your drivers starting side by side,

00:06:51are you going to be a bit worried about the start here?

00:06:54Well, they know that the two drivers can handle that.

00:06:57They're obviously being quite diplomatic in the media about it,

00:06:59but I bet they read the Riot Act yesterday

00:07:02because it was expensive in parts and points.

00:07:05And especially when they're trying to focus on the 2027 car

00:07:08under the systems we have now for cost control.

00:07:11So pole position then with the two Ferraris

00:07:15filling either side of his mirrors.

00:07:18And so it's Max actually that's got the tyre advantage

00:07:22on the front row down to the first corner.

00:07:25Lewis on the mediums.

00:07:27They'll take a little bit longer to fire up,

00:07:30but what Lewis will be desperately hoping

00:07:32is that there's not an early safety car.

00:07:36That's very true.

00:07:36He'll want to go a little bit longer on those medium compound tyres.

00:07:40There's the Drivers' Championship.

00:07:42Season-high advantage for Kimi Antonelli of 89 points.

00:07:45If he outscores George Russell by 12 points tonight,

00:07:48he has a chance of winning the title in Austin,

00:07:50which is the next round.

00:07:51If Mercedes outscore Ferrari by 29 points tonight,

00:07:55they too could win the Constructors' Championship in Austin,

00:07:59which, assuming, of course,

00:08:01we've got six races to come after this

00:08:03to the end of the season.

00:08:05And we're almost set for this race,

00:08:07while a few need to peel into the pit lane

00:08:09and go to the end.

00:08:10Isaac Hadjar being one of them.

00:08:11Yeah, and he'll have to start in the pit lane,

00:08:14third place in the pit lane, actually,

00:08:16behind the two Aston Martins,

00:08:19because he didn't set a time.

00:08:21But he's ahead of them at the moment out there.

00:08:24Will he have to let them through,

00:08:26or will he go and hog the front of the pit lane?

00:08:29It's kind of irrelevant,

00:08:30because this is what matters on the grid.

00:08:32We will be concentrating, I think, on the front here.

00:08:35Max Verstappen on the left-hand side.

00:08:37Charles Leclerc on the right-hand side.

00:08:39Kimi Antonelli already pointing towards the middle

00:08:42in his Mercedes from the second row.

00:08:44We've got five lights on ahead of the drivers.

00:08:47It's lights out, and away we go.

00:08:48Very good getaway from Charles Leclerc.

00:08:50He's coming at Max Verstappen,

00:08:52who moves over to try and cut him off.

00:08:53But Charles Leclerc's got that inside line.

00:08:55Verstappen then leads.

00:08:57Lewis Hamilton goes through in third

00:08:58ahead of Kimi Antonelli.

00:09:00Verstappen, for one moment,

00:09:01thought he might have lost that lead,

00:09:02but he is off now into the distance from Leclerc.

00:09:05And then Hamilton, then Antonelli,

00:09:07who might be trying to go round the outside.

00:09:08There's a big lock-up behind them.

00:09:10And Lando Norris ahead of Oscar Piastri.

00:09:13Liam Lawson getting a bit keen there

00:09:15with Pierre Gasly.

00:09:16Down the Raffles Boulevard we go.

00:09:18Verstappen out in front,

00:09:20but they're all queuing up,

00:09:21maybe for an overtake behind.

00:09:22On the inside, Piastri can't quite

00:09:25get alongside his teammates.

00:09:26And Lando Norris, he has to stay in position.

00:09:29Incredible driving in the mid-pack.

00:09:30Do you attack?

00:09:31You've actually got to defend

00:09:32all at the same time.

00:09:34Good, clean racing.

00:09:35Lando Norris really fancied getting past Kimi Antonelli there,

00:09:40but he couldn't quite make it stick.

00:09:42Verstappen then leads them through turn 10 behind,

00:09:45going very, very close.

00:09:47Arvid Limblad and Oli Behrman.

00:09:49Limblad almost going out towards the wall

00:09:51on the left-hand side,

00:09:53but they emerge unscathed.

00:09:54The leading trio making their way

00:09:56across the Anderson Bridge

00:09:57and now on to the Esplanade.

00:09:59That is Max Verstappen.

00:10:00His advantage over Charles Leclerc.

00:10:02Kimi Antonelli chasing Lewis Hamilton.

00:10:05Here comes Pierre Gasly

00:10:06behind the Audi of Nico Hülkenberg,

00:10:09who seems to have made a brilliant start there.

00:10:11We can see him ahead of Pierre Gasly in the Alpine.

00:10:15Ocon's had a very solid start as well,

00:10:17up to P11 ahead of his teammate Behrman.

00:10:21So, as ever, it's frantic.

00:10:23This will be a two-part race in many respects.

00:10:26I think the, back to the McLaren and Piastri,

00:10:29the top six,

00:10:30should, if there's no safety cars,

00:10:32walk off a little bit into the distance.

00:10:34And look at those Ferraris.

00:10:36And Antonelli keeping Max Verstappen

00:10:38very honest in these opening stages.

00:10:41And what Charles Leclerc will have

00:10:42if he can stay this distance

00:10:45behind Max Verstappen

00:10:46at the end of this lap

00:10:47is an extra half a megajoule of energy.

00:10:49Overtake is enabled now,

00:10:50so he might get a bit more power.

00:10:52Max, with a six-tenth advantage

00:10:54as they cross the line,

00:10:55is going to have to try and eke it out

00:10:57to over a second to ward off that threat,

00:10:59but he's definitely not doing that.

00:11:01Look how Charles Leclerc

00:11:02is sticking right to the rear wing

00:11:05of that Red Bull.

00:11:06Yeah, that's the early sign then, isn't it?

00:11:08That Ferrari have got Red Bull pace

00:11:11despite Max having slightly better tyres

00:11:13than one of them.

00:11:15And Lewis being on the medium compound,

00:11:18but Lewis with his mirrors full

00:11:19of Kimi Antonelli

00:11:20in his old Mercedes, as it were.

00:11:23At the back, George Russell

00:11:24is now up into 17th

00:11:26and chasing Gabriel Bortoletto.

00:11:28Hülkenberg in eighth.

00:11:29He started 10th,

00:11:31has made up a couple of places

00:11:32at the expense of Gasly.

00:11:34Sainz started 13th

00:11:35and is now running in the points

00:11:36for Williams.

00:11:37The soft tyre doing nicely for him.

00:11:40Arvid Lindblad has dropped back

00:11:41from ninth down into 13th.

00:11:45And Kimi Antonelli

00:11:45still trying to keep pace

00:11:47for Lewis Hamilton,

00:11:48but for the moment,

00:11:48I think Hamilton is just extending

00:11:51his advantage a bit

00:11:51as we see now on boards.

00:11:54Ocon and Behrman

00:11:55having their own little

00:11:57inter-hast scrap

00:11:58for 11th place currently.

00:11:59Behrman seems to have got

00:12:00a really good exit

00:12:01out of that left-hander.

00:12:03Across the Esplanade Bridge we go.

00:12:04He's going to have to go

00:12:05the long way around the outside.

00:12:06There might not be room to do that.

00:12:07He gets forced off the track

00:12:09by his teammate,

00:12:10but Oli Behrman does

00:12:11get ahead of Ocon

00:12:12and then gives the place back

00:12:14momentarily.

00:12:15That scrap will then continue on

00:12:17as they cross the line

00:12:18and down towards turn one.

00:12:20And as said Charles Leclerc

00:12:21got a much better reaction.

00:12:22He did

00:12:22by about four hundredths

00:12:24of a second.

00:12:25And we know Esteban Ocon

00:12:26takes absolutely no prisoners

00:12:28out on the track

00:12:29given the history,

00:12:30especially against his teammate.

00:12:32But Behrman

00:12:33looks like he's got the pace.

00:12:34He certainly does.

00:12:36He's going wheel to wheel

00:12:36with Esteban Ocon

00:12:37through turn five.

00:12:38He just concedes that one

00:12:40for a moment

00:12:40and will try again

00:12:41down the Raffles Boulevard.

00:12:43We're watching Verstappen

00:12:44as he makes his way

00:12:45through turn eight.

00:12:46Here comes Oli Behrman

00:12:48on Esteban Ocon.

00:12:49I don't think there's any

00:12:50team orders at Haas.

00:12:51Behrman might just

00:12:52have got through

00:12:53on his teammate

00:12:53and up into 11th place

00:12:55he has done so.

00:12:57Wow, that was frenetic

00:12:59for a lap

00:12:59from the two Haas guys,

00:13:00wasn't it?

00:13:00Behrman has been showing

00:13:01a very good pace of lay.

00:13:03I thought he sort of

00:13:03lost the plot a little bit.

00:13:04He had that big shunt

00:13:05in Japan, didn't he?

00:13:07And had a bit of

00:13:08a fallow period there

00:13:09of results.

00:13:11But Oli's been driving

00:13:11really, really nicely lately.

00:13:13And this top six then

00:13:15are just about

00:13:17beginning to break away.

00:13:19They're a couple of seconds

00:13:20clear of Lear.

00:13:21Liam Lawson.

00:13:23Six different winners

00:13:23in the last six Singapore

00:13:25Grand Prix.

00:13:26And the front two

00:13:27aren't on that list.

00:13:29Verstappen and Leclerc

00:13:29separated by eight-tenths

00:13:31of a second.

00:13:31We're on board now

00:13:32with Kimi Antonelli

00:13:34behind Lewis Hamilton

00:13:35on the medium tyre.

00:13:37Hamilton, I think,

00:13:38will be quite encouraged

00:13:39by his pace

00:13:40so far in this race.

00:13:41He was a couple of tenths

00:13:42slower than his teammate

00:13:43but he's on those medium tyres.

00:13:44They should be starting

00:13:45to fire up now.

00:13:46George Russell up to P17

00:13:48from what would have been

00:13:50a P19 start

00:13:51as Hamilton does

00:13:52the fastest lap.

00:13:53I think he would have hoped

00:13:55to have got a few more places

00:13:58in these opening laps

00:13:59at the back there

00:14:01with the Mercedes.

00:14:01but it was so frantic

00:14:03in front of him

00:14:04I doubt there was much

00:14:04of a gap.

00:14:05As you were talking

00:14:06he got past

00:14:08Valtteri Bottas

00:14:09the former Mercedes driver

00:14:10now at Cadillac

00:14:12and up into 16th place.

00:14:14So that's one more place

00:14:15and now it's Alex Albon

00:14:16next up the line.

00:14:18Up the road, I should say.

00:14:20Just dropping back a bit

00:14:21Oscar Piastri

00:14:22from his team-mates.

00:14:24Sorry, Gabby, I bought a letter

00:14:25not Valtteri Bottas.

00:14:26Just dropping back

00:14:27from his team-mate

00:14:28Oscar Piastri

00:14:29in the McLaren.

00:14:31Lando Norris

00:14:32with a bit more pace

00:14:33in these early stages

00:14:34as the cars make their way

00:14:36past the packed grandstands

00:14:38on the other side

00:14:39of the cricket pitch

00:14:39to the concert venue

00:14:41and then swing left-handed

00:14:43to make their way

00:14:44to a very twisty

00:14:46tricky technical part

00:14:47of the track

00:14:48across the Anderson Bridge

00:14:49and now

00:14:50once they get this corner

00:14:51out of the way

00:14:51they can maybe

00:14:52get a bit of cooler air

00:14:53coming their way

00:14:54across the bridge.

00:14:55I think Lewis

00:14:55will be happy with this.

00:14:56He's maintained his third place

00:14:57that he had on the grid

00:14:58and he's got the medium

00:14:59compound tyres on

00:15:00as long as there's not

00:15:02any kind of shenanigans

00:15:03behind him

00:15:04and cars in the wall

00:15:06he will then end

00:15:07the Grand Prix

00:15:08on, if it's a one-stopper

00:15:10particularly

00:15:11he will end the Grand Prix

00:15:12on the faster tyre.

00:15:14Lap 4 of 62

00:15:16Max Verstappen

00:15:18had only led

00:15:18three Grand Prix laps

00:15:20here at Singapore

00:15:21in the past

00:15:22has led every single

00:15:23one of these

00:15:24and he's finally got

00:15:24more laps led

00:15:25around this track

00:15:26on the board

00:15:27than Antonio Giovinazzi

00:15:28who was the man

00:15:30ahead of him

00:15:30in terms of laps led

00:15:32he is looking

00:15:33comfortable at the moment

00:15:34Ollie Bearman's been

00:15:35noted by the way

00:15:36for leaving the track

00:15:37and gaining an advantage

00:15:38in that battle

00:15:39with his Haas

00:15:40team mate

00:15:41Esteban Ocon

00:15:42I did worry that

00:15:43he didn't completely

00:15:44give the place back

00:15:45he was still hovering

00:15:46on the inside

00:15:47wasn't he

00:15:47into the penultimate corner

00:15:48the left-hander

00:15:50of 18

00:15:51but let's see

00:15:53what they say

00:15:53about that

00:15:54no further investigation

00:15:55is what they say

00:15:57about that

00:15:57as George Russell

00:15:58makes up another place

00:15:59moves up in the 15th

00:16:01ahead of Alex Albon

00:16:03and we can head down

00:16:03to the pit wall

00:16:04and Corinne Chandler

00:16:05it's transported

00:16:06back to Biggin Hill

00:16:07in the UK

00:16:07just looking

00:16:08just looking at

00:16:09Isaac Hajar

00:16:10there

00:16:10he's having a few

00:16:11issues I think

00:16:12he's been complaining

00:16:13about engine issues

00:16:14there

00:16:14he's saying

00:16:16that he's got an issue

00:16:16with a turbo lag

00:16:17and he is now

00:16:19over a pit stop

00:16:20already

00:16:21behind the leaders

00:16:22and only

00:16:22in front of

00:16:23Lance Stroll

00:16:24and Valtteri Bottas

00:16:25he's still behind

00:16:26Fernando Alonso's

00:16:27Aston Martin

00:16:27yeah he's getting

00:16:28a bit stuck there

00:16:29on the medium tyre

00:16:31but George Russell

00:16:31is running those

00:16:32same mediums

00:16:33and he's made up

00:16:33places to 15th

00:16:35Hajar

00:16:35down in 20th

00:16:37after taking

00:16:37the pain of another

00:16:39power unit

00:16:40for his Red Bull car

00:16:41but he was already

00:16:42starting at the back

00:16:43because he didn't

00:16:43set a time in

00:16:44qualifying yesterday

00:16:45completely different

00:16:46concept with Ferrari

00:16:47and Red Bull

00:16:48on how to open

00:16:48the rear wing

00:16:49in the straight line

00:16:50mode

00:16:51Red Bull have

00:16:52this huge gap

00:16:53in there

00:16:53as you look like

00:16:54a climb through

00:16:55and of course Ferrari

00:16:56have the somersaulting

00:16:57one that swivels

00:16:58all the way around

00:17:00completely different

00:17:01and I love that

00:17:02about Formula 1

00:17:03the different concepts

00:17:04and because

00:17:05they're a cornerstone

00:17:06of this sport

00:17:08is you have to make

00:17:09your own car

00:17:10a little like

00:17:11the Bahrain Grand Prix

00:17:12in Malaysia

00:17:13last week

00:17:13Carlos Sainz's

00:17:14stay in the points

00:17:16hasn't lasted long

00:17:18Oli Behrman

00:17:18has gone ahead of him

00:17:19and up into 10th place

00:17:21we were briefly

00:17:22watching Esteban Ocon

00:17:23in the other Haas

00:17:24chasing Carlos Sainz

00:17:26and there you get

00:17:26a great view

00:17:27of the rear wing

00:17:28opening

00:17:29that Macarena wing

00:17:30on Max Verstappen's

00:17:31Red Bull

00:17:32back comes

00:17:33Charles Leclerc

00:17:34for a bit more

00:17:36action here

00:17:36less than 4 tenths

00:17:38between the two of them

00:17:38this is really encouraging

00:17:40for the race here Martin

00:17:41as to how the Ferrari

00:17:43can live with the Red Bull

00:17:44and keep up the pace

00:17:45yeah the Red Bull

00:17:46had a slightly better

00:17:47traction out of the

00:17:4890 degree corner there

00:17:49but you're right

00:17:50Leclerc keeping good arm

00:17:52we saw already

00:17:53Lando Norris

00:17:55sidestepping the car

00:17:56in front

00:17:57down the pit straight

00:17:57to keep cooler air

00:17:59coming through it

00:18:00so especially while

00:18:01they're full of fuel

00:18:02at the beginning

00:18:02of the Grand Prix

00:18:03they'll need to just

00:18:04keep an eye on brakes

00:18:05and power unit temperatures

00:18:07Lewis Hamilton

00:18:08who set the fastest

00:18:11lap of the race

00:18:11a couple of laps ago

00:18:12dropped back to about

00:18:14a second and a half

00:18:14now behind his teammate

00:18:16Charles Leclerc

00:18:17Leclerc of course

00:18:18has got that overtake mode

00:18:19that's helping him

00:18:20keep in touch

00:18:21with Max Verstappen

00:18:22but Hamilton now

00:18:23a second and a half

00:18:24adrift

00:18:25in third place

00:18:26in sector two

00:18:28Max Verstappen

00:18:29had a big advantage

00:18:31over Charles Leclerc

00:18:32nearly eight tenths

00:18:33of a second

00:18:34that gap

00:18:35as they go through

00:18:36the overtake detection point

00:18:37has opened up

00:18:38to beyond a second

00:18:39which is quite key

00:18:40and against Charles Leclerc

00:18:42really

00:18:42absolutely

00:18:43Max then does

00:18:44the fastest lap

00:18:45of the Grand Prix

00:18:46and just pulls out

00:18:47then

00:18:48Leclerc out

00:18:49of the overtake

00:18:50one second

00:18:50zone at the moment

00:18:52so he'll lose

00:18:53that overtake mode

00:18:54which gives you

00:18:55as you say

00:18:55another half megajoule

00:18:57apart

00:18:58and you can keep

00:18:58top speed

00:18:59for longer

00:19:00as well

00:19:00so Leclerc

00:19:01will be extremely

00:19:02keen

00:19:03to close that

00:19:04gap back up

00:19:05again

00:19:05I just wonder

00:19:06as well

00:19:07does Charles

00:19:07need to drop

00:19:08back a bit

00:19:08try and get

00:19:09a bit more

00:19:09cooler air

00:19:10running through

00:19:11that Ferrari

00:19:12Lewis Hamilton

00:19:12hasn't

00:19:13with Charles Leclerc

00:19:14dropping back

00:19:14made a move

00:19:16towards his teammates

00:19:17and maybe

00:19:17he's thinking

00:19:18about cooling

00:19:19and the longer

00:19:19game too

00:19:20George Russell

00:19:21by the way

00:19:21up now

00:19:22into 14th

00:19:22after getting

00:19:23past Franco

00:19:24Colopinto

00:19:24here's the start

00:19:25do you know

00:19:26another 100 metres

00:19:27and Charles Leclerc

00:19:28would have been

00:19:28right alongside

00:19:29Max Verstappen

00:19:30and looking

00:19:31the favourite

00:19:32into turn one

00:19:33yeah

00:19:33wow

00:19:34how close is that

00:19:35Lewis had kind of

00:19:36nearly lost third

00:19:37place to Antonelli

00:19:37but hung it

00:19:38around the outside

00:19:39of one

00:19:40and Antonelli

00:19:41being very cautious

00:19:42we know

00:19:43and you can just

00:19:45tell he's thinking

00:19:46championship

00:19:47the others are thinking

00:19:48race victories

00:19:49this is going to be

00:19:50close isn't it

00:19:50looking forward to

00:19:51seeing this

00:19:53Max pinches him

00:19:54but leaves him

00:19:56racing room

00:19:58and yeah

00:19:59he left him

00:20:00fully racing room

00:20:01and what you

00:20:03don't want

00:20:03is to snag

00:20:04the front wing

00:20:05of the car

00:20:05by squeezing

00:20:06them and then

00:20:07get a puncture

00:20:08from it

00:20:08so Max

00:20:09very fair

00:20:11on the way

00:20:11in there

00:20:12so what happened

00:20:12so what happened to

00:20:13Arvid Limblad

00:20:13who dropped

00:20:14four places

00:20:15he's kind of

00:20:16caught in a bit

00:20:17of no man's land

00:20:18that's Carlos Sainz

00:20:19in the Williams

00:20:20to the overtaking

00:20:20that was quite dangerous

00:20:21what Sainz did

00:20:22fight and break

00:20:23all three crashed

00:20:24now that was aggressive

00:20:25by Carlos Sainz

00:20:27was it dangerous

00:20:29this was Oli

00:20:30Behrman's move

00:20:31on his teammate

00:20:32Esteban Ocon

00:20:33and didn't quite

00:20:35make that one stick

00:20:37he had to

00:20:37get it done

00:20:38next time around

00:20:40at turn seven

00:20:41going the long way

00:20:42round the outside

00:20:43wow

00:20:43that was close

00:20:44they weren't getting

00:20:45too many team owners

00:20:46from the pitfall

00:20:47were they

00:20:47and Esteban of course

00:20:48who's lost that drive

00:20:49for next year

00:20:50probably wouldn't listen

00:20:51if he had

00:20:55that's a nice move

00:20:56that's a very nice move

00:20:57indeed

00:20:58so Oli Behrman

00:20:59in 10th place

00:21:00Esteban Ocon

00:21:01in 11th

00:21:02and they've got past

00:21:03Carlos Sainz

00:21:03and that is

00:21:04Gabriel Bortoleto

00:21:05pulling over

00:21:06to the pit lane exit

00:21:08with what looks like

00:21:10it's a gearbox issue

00:21:11another gearbox issue

00:21:12for Audi

00:21:13this weekend

00:21:14they had one

00:21:15affecting Nico Hülkenberg

00:21:16now it's Bortoleto

00:21:18and we've got

00:21:18a stationary car

00:21:20that affects

00:21:21both the pit lane

00:21:22and the racetrack

00:21:23couldn't actually

00:21:24be much worse

00:21:25I can't see how

00:21:27they can get

00:21:28that out of there

00:21:29without some kind

00:21:30of safety car

00:21:31Karun is right there

00:21:33I am Martin

00:21:35there's lots of people

00:21:36coming in

00:21:36there's smoke

00:21:37coming off the brakes

00:21:38I can smell it here

00:21:39he's parked

00:21:40just a few yards

00:21:41beyond me

00:21:41but as you say

00:21:42the mechanics

00:21:43all around me

00:21:44I can see

00:21:44pulling the helmets

00:21:45on checking the air guns

00:21:46because they are

00:21:47pre-empting

00:21:48the VSC

00:21:48it's been called

00:21:50VSC's been called

00:21:51the pit lane

00:21:52hasn't been closed

00:21:54there's a yellow flag

00:21:55at the end

00:21:56of the pit lane

00:21:57the leaders

00:21:58have decided

00:21:59not to come in anyway

00:22:00and it might be

00:22:01a little bit too early

00:22:02even though

00:22:03you save time

00:22:04and lose less race time

00:22:05by stopping under

00:22:06a virtual safety car

00:22:07the leaders decided

00:22:09no

00:22:09we're not going to

00:22:10come into the pits

00:22:11and I think Martin

00:22:11the risk

00:22:12of the pit lane exit

00:22:13being closed

00:22:14was enough

00:22:14for caution

00:22:15to take the upper hand

00:22:17but also

00:22:17they're not far enough

00:22:19ahead of the pack

00:22:20are they

00:22:21they would

00:22:23oh you should have

00:22:23gone in the pit lane

00:22:24he was looking

00:22:25in his mirrors

00:22:25to see who was there

00:22:27you still should have

00:22:28gone in the pit lane

00:22:29there

00:22:30yeah

00:22:30he had a couple

00:22:31of chances

00:22:32to get in the pit lane

00:22:33and then

00:22:34did go in the pit lane

00:22:35but at the far end

00:22:35of it

00:22:37but as I say

00:22:37that car is

00:22:39kind of like

00:22:39almost worst case

00:22:41scenario

00:22:41for pit lane

00:22:42and racetrack

00:22:43and to get it out

00:22:44and often

00:22:45when the gearbox

00:22:47has blown up

00:22:49they won't push

00:22:50but that one

00:22:51thankfully

00:22:51you can press

00:22:52the clutch button

00:22:53which they're

00:22:53obliged to have

00:22:54and they've got

00:22:55that car

00:22:55out of the way

00:22:56so the VSC

00:22:57is now ending

00:22:58and the pit lane

00:23:00is clear

00:23:00and six

00:23:01pointless races

00:23:03in a row

00:23:03for Gabriel

00:23:04Bortoletto

00:23:05becomes seven races

00:23:06now

00:23:06on his

00:23:07pointless

00:23:08streak

00:23:09so

00:23:09VSC

00:23:10ending

00:23:11we can get

00:23:12going again

00:23:12Max Verstappen

00:23:13lead Charles Leclerc

00:23:14and Ted Kravitz

00:23:15good evening to you

00:23:16hello Crofty

00:23:17from the very empty

00:23:18pit lane

00:23:19with no one

00:23:20coming in

00:23:21although I think

00:23:21Isaac Hadjar's

00:23:22making some progress

00:23:23Crofty

00:23:23Isaac Hadjar

00:23:24just got past

00:23:25Sergio Perez

00:23:26he's up to 17

00:23:27so just to underline

00:23:28why that was

00:23:29too early

00:23:29for anybody

00:23:30to come in

00:23:31we're looking at

00:23:32not seeing any

00:23:32action for pit stops

00:23:33until at least

00:23:34lap 25

00:23:3526

00:23:36for those starting

00:23:37on the soft tyre

00:23:38and if you like

00:23:39Lewis Hamilton

00:23:39starting on the medium

00:23:41you could wait

00:23:41until 35

00:23:42to 40

00:23:43to see if you

00:23:44can go

00:23:45quite long

00:23:45having said that

00:23:46the soft tyre

00:23:47is clearly the best

00:23:48round here

00:23:49Hamilton's doing

00:23:50what he can

00:23:51but has now

00:23:52dropped

00:23:52about three seconds

00:23:54down

00:23:54Karun

00:23:54what can you see

00:23:55down your end

00:23:56of the pit lane

00:23:59hello Karun

00:24:00come in

00:24:01I can hear you

00:24:02yeah the Audi's

00:24:03caught fire

00:24:03the marshals

00:24:04are now extinguishing

00:24:05this huge amount

00:24:07of smoke

00:24:07here

00:24:08right behind me

00:24:09in the pit lane

00:24:10and it's basically

00:24:11one tyre

00:24:12still on the edge

00:24:13of the fast lane

00:24:14so the Cadillac

00:24:16team are really

00:24:17concerned

00:24:17because it's

00:24:18blocking the exit

00:24:19guys from the

00:24:20Cadillac's pit box

00:24:21here

00:24:21the mechanics

00:24:22have just come

00:24:23running down

00:24:23it's now covered

00:24:24in all sorts of

00:24:25fire extinguisher

00:24:26foam and stuff

00:24:27but hopefully

00:24:28they can get it

00:24:29clear quickly

00:24:29but yeah

00:24:30all a bit dramatic

00:24:31to be honest

00:24:32very dramatic

00:24:32and as a result

00:24:33the pit lane

00:24:34entry is closed

00:24:35so no car

00:24:36can come into

00:24:37the pit lane

00:24:37as it stands

00:24:38currently

00:24:39George Russell

00:24:40in 13th

00:24:41has Carlos Sainz

00:24:42just ahead of him

00:24:43and he's looking

00:24:44to try and make

00:24:44a move as soon

00:24:45as he possibly can

00:24:46and the gap

00:24:47between Verstappen

00:24:47and Leclerc

00:24:48around about

00:24:48seven tenths

00:24:49of a second

00:24:49at the moment

00:24:50I remember

00:24:51back to

00:24:51what was it

00:24:52Austria

00:24:52a few years ago

00:24:53where Charles Leclerc

00:24:54had to pass

00:24:55Max Verstappen

00:24:56three times

00:24:57didn't he

00:24:57to go on

00:24:58and win that race

00:24:59well we've not

00:24:59seen an overtake yet

00:25:00but these two

00:25:01could be battling

00:25:02all night long

00:25:03yeah

00:25:03absolutely right

00:25:05looking at

00:25:05where could Russell

00:25:06end up

00:25:07normally I'd say

00:25:08seventh

00:25:08at the moment

00:25:10if the top six

00:25:11don't have any issues

00:25:12or he doesn't get

00:25:13lucky with a safety car

00:25:15and lucky is not

00:25:17his middle name

00:25:17this year

00:25:18is it

00:25:18George Russell

00:25:19so

00:25:20yeah

00:25:21I think he'd be

00:25:22satisfied with that

00:25:23but that looks

00:25:24about as far

00:25:26as he can get

00:25:27unless something else

00:25:28happens

00:25:29ahead of him

00:25:30but off we go

00:25:31again

00:25:32one team did tell us

00:25:33in our briefings

00:25:34today that

00:25:34they expect cars

00:25:36to take safety cars

00:25:37at the first

00:25:38opportunity

00:25:39didn't they

00:25:41but one of those

00:25:42that team

00:25:43didn't do that

00:25:45so

00:25:46but the pack

00:25:47wasn't far enough

00:25:48behind

00:25:48they'd have just

00:25:49come out

00:25:49in horrible traffic

00:25:51yeah that's very true

00:25:52it wouldn't have

00:25:53necessitated

00:25:53a chain reaction

00:25:55at this stage

00:25:56and also

00:25:56the last thing

00:25:57you want to do

00:25:57is go into the pit lane

00:25:58when it might

00:25:59actually get closed

00:25:59on the exit

00:26:00too

00:26:01and when there's

00:26:02a car

00:26:02right at the end

00:26:03of it

00:26:04that Williams

00:26:05is quite slippery

00:26:07in a straight line

00:26:07and too slippery

00:26:08I think

00:26:09for George Russell's

00:26:10liking

00:26:10currently

00:26:11he's down in 13th

00:26:13he's maintaining

00:26:14about a 4 tenth gap

00:26:15to Carlos Sainz

00:26:17and not making much

00:26:18of an impression

00:26:19in terms of an overtake

00:26:20what do you need

00:26:20about a second

00:26:21lap

00:26:22just over a second

00:26:23lap

00:26:23extra pace

00:26:24to get an overtake

00:26:25done here

00:26:25yeah

00:26:26then shut your eyes

00:26:27and break a few meters

00:26:28later

00:26:28so

00:26:29there's a bit of

00:26:30yo-yo going on

00:26:31isn't there

00:26:31between the top two

00:26:32in terms of

00:26:33I'm sure

00:26:33battery usage

00:26:35tyres getting hot

00:26:37or not

00:26:37because the gap

00:26:38sort of ebbs and flows

00:26:40through the lap

00:26:41you think Lewis Hamilton

00:26:42is doing a spot

00:26:43of tyre management

00:26:44out there

00:26:44he's now dropped

00:26:45to about 3 seconds

00:26:46behind his team mate

00:26:48and it just feels

00:26:49like he's

00:26:50he's in for the long

00:26:51game

00:26:52on these mediums

00:26:53make them go

00:26:54as long

00:26:55into this race

00:26:56as he possibly can

00:26:58yeah

00:26:58probably

00:26:59as I said

00:27:00he'll be on the

00:27:00better tyre

00:27:01at the end

00:27:02if it's a one stopper

00:27:03but

00:27:04Antonelli

00:27:05is looking racy

00:27:05behind him

00:27:06and it appears

00:27:07to be sort of

00:27:07letting the McLaren

00:27:08join the party

00:27:10as well

00:27:10Liam Lawson

00:27:12is a little bit

00:27:13behind Oscar Piastri

00:27:14currently in

00:27:157th place

00:27:16Piastri about a second

00:27:18as you can see

00:27:18behind his team mate

00:27:19Lando Norris

00:27:20there is Oscar Piastri

00:27:21behind the

00:27:22other papaya

00:27:23of Lando

00:27:24I think

00:27:25that's

00:27:25he

00:27:26at opposite

00:27:27to your level

00:27:29so

00:27:30plan A

00:27:31plan B

00:27:32plan C

00:27:33maybe go

00:27:34is plan C

00:27:35go long

00:27:36in terms of

00:27:37whatever plan A

00:27:38was

00:27:38I wonder

00:27:40so

00:27:41the problem

00:27:42Red Bull have got

00:27:43is only one car

00:27:44if there is a full

00:27:45safety car

00:27:45or a virtual safety car

00:27:47and they all want to

00:27:47come in the pits

00:27:48then

00:27:49for example

00:27:51Lewis Hamilton

00:27:52would take some pain

00:27:53because he'll have to

00:27:53pit second

00:27:54and so will

00:27:56Piastri

00:27:57at McLaren

00:27:58as well

00:27:59but

00:28:00what they do have

00:28:01at Ferrari

00:28:02is if they wanted to

00:28:03if they fancy it

00:28:04they could try and use

00:28:05one car

00:28:06for the very powerful

00:28:07undercut

00:28:07in other words

00:28:08come in a bit earlier

00:28:09put some new tyres on

00:28:10and just go for it

00:28:12and see if you can get

00:28:14track position

00:28:15because as you've worked out

00:28:16for yourselves

00:28:16no doubt

00:28:17so far

00:28:17and watching this race before

00:28:19track position

00:28:20is everything

00:28:21I think what Ferrari

00:28:22will be watching for

00:28:23Martin

00:28:23with that

00:28:24is Liam Lawson's

00:28:25progress in this race

00:28:26he's currently

00:28:27nearly 19 seconds

00:28:28behind Max Verstappen

00:28:30as soon as he goes

00:28:31to about 24

00:28:3225 seconds

00:28:33Karun

00:28:34that could be

00:28:35an undercut chance

00:28:36for Charles Leclerc

00:28:39that's right

00:28:40we're looking

00:28:40at the gaps

00:28:41now

00:28:41and just

00:28:42on recent pace

00:28:43they're pulling

00:28:44about a second

00:28:45and a half

00:28:45on every single lap

00:28:47two seconds

00:28:47Karun

00:28:47Landa

00:28:48do you remember

00:28:48the discussion

00:28:49we had

00:28:49in the strategy

00:28:50meeting

00:28:50do you still

00:28:51agree

00:28:52that your idea

00:28:53would be best

00:28:53yeah

00:28:54I think so

00:28:55understood

00:28:59I wish we

00:29:00fly on the wall

00:29:01for that particular

00:29:01meeting

00:29:02but

00:29:02just looking

00:29:03at the gaps

00:29:03I reckon

00:29:04in maybe

00:29:05another two

00:29:06laps

00:29:06Lawson

00:29:07will be

00:29:07outside

00:29:09Verstappen's

00:29:09window

00:29:09maybe another

00:29:11lap or two

00:29:11so probably

00:29:12three or four

00:29:13for Leclerc

00:29:14if they want

00:29:14to do that

00:29:15powerful undercut

00:29:15that Martin

00:29:16just mentioned

00:29:17so if you

00:29:18were Max Verstappen

00:29:19would you do

00:29:20the undercut

00:29:21to preserve

00:29:21the lead

00:29:22the problem

00:29:23they've got

00:29:23isn't it

00:29:24because

00:29:24yeah

00:29:24because

00:29:25yeah

00:29:25if they do

00:29:26that

00:29:26then Ferrari

00:29:27as

00:29:28Charles Leclerc

00:29:29very rightly

00:29:29said

00:29:30let's do

00:29:30the opposite

00:29:30if they do

00:29:32that with Max

00:29:32everybody else

00:29:33just stays out

00:29:34yeah

00:29:34and so

00:29:37he's

00:29:37he's a bit

00:29:38of a lone

00:29:38ranger up

00:29:39the front

00:29:39there isn't

00:29:39he

00:29:39and Ferrari

00:29:40and McLaren

00:29:41have got

00:29:42options

00:29:42which is why

00:29:43we're hearing

00:29:43Ferrari

00:29:44McLaren

00:29:44on the radio

00:29:45discussing

00:29:46those options

00:29:46Isaac Hadjar

00:29:47is 16th

00:29:48he's ahead

00:29:49of Alex

00:29:49Albon

00:29:49he started

00:29:50at the pit

00:29:51lane

00:29:51George Russell

00:29:52started at the

00:29:52back of the

00:29:53grid

00:29:53George Russell

00:29:54did he shut

00:29:55his eyes

00:29:55as he left

00:29:57the braking

00:29:57late and

00:29:58late and

00:29:58late

00:29:58which was

00:29:59Martin

00:29:59Brundle's

00:29:59advice

00:30:00if he did

00:30:01it certainly

00:30:01helped

00:30:02he's up in

00:30:02the 12th

00:30:03that

00:30:03very good

00:30:04move

00:30:04and he

00:30:05needed to

00:30:05make that

00:30:06absolutely

00:30:06so

00:30:07next up

00:30:08for him

00:30:08then is

00:30:09Esteban Ocon

00:30:09and Ollie

00:30:10Behrman

00:30:11to get

00:30:12himself

00:30:12into the

00:30:13world

00:30:13championship

00:30:13points

00:30:14George Russell

00:30:15from the

00:30:15back of

00:30:16the grid

00:30:16and we

00:30:17are on

00:30:17board

00:30:18with

00:30:18the

00:30:19McLaren

00:30:19now

00:30:21towards

00:30:21turn 16

00:30:23we go

00:30:24Oscar

00:30:24Piastri

00:30:26just

00:30:27wanting

00:30:28and needing

00:30:29an extra

00:30:29couple of

00:30:30tenths

00:30:30maybe

00:30:30three tenths

00:30:31of a

00:30:31second

00:30:31to get

00:30:32that overtake

00:30:32mode

00:30:33to try

00:30:34and help

00:30:34him get

00:30:35ever closer

00:30:35to his

00:30:36teammate

00:30:37Lando

00:30:37Norris

00:30:38running

00:30:39fifth and

00:30:40sixth

00:30:40the two

00:30:40McLarens

00:30:41currently

00:30:42is there

00:30:43any signs

00:30:44there

00:30:44the drivers

00:30:44going a

00:30:45little bit

00:30:45wide

00:30:45through

00:30:46turn 1

00:30:47and saw

00:30:47Carlos Sainz

00:30:48struggling a bit

00:30:48there on the

00:30:49last lap

00:30:49yeah

00:30:49I think

00:30:50obviously

00:30:50they're still

00:30:51carrying a lot

00:30:51of fuel

00:30:51and

00:30:53it's really

00:30:54bumpy in

00:30:54there

00:30:55and you can

00:30:56see how

00:30:56stiff the

00:30:56cars are

00:30:57and how

00:30:57low they

00:30:57run to

00:30:58the ground

00:30:58so

00:30:59the drivers

00:30:59were wrestling

00:31:00in there

00:31:01from the

00:31:02get go

00:31:02if we could

00:31:03continue to

00:31:04eke this

00:31:04out Max

00:31:05it will only

00:31:05help our

00:31:05course

00:31:07so

00:31:07yes

00:31:08just keep

00:31:08going for

00:31:08a bit

00:31:09longer

00:31:09Liam Lawson

00:31:10is now

00:31:1022 seconds

00:31:12behind

00:31:12Max

00:31:13Verstappen

00:31:14so

00:31:14the chance

00:31:15of an

00:31:16undercut

00:31:17to preserve

00:31:18your net

00:31:18lead of the

00:31:19race

00:31:19is now

00:31:21probably open

00:31:21for Max

00:31:22Verstappen

00:31:22what they call

00:31:23the pit window

00:31:24is open for him

00:31:25but if you go in pit

00:31:26and a full green

00:31:27full racing speeds

00:31:28and then there's a

00:31:29safety car

00:31:30a virtual safety car

00:31:31shortly afterwards

00:31:32you've kind of blown it

00:31:34it's an interesting one

00:31:35it's a street circuit

00:31:36and with a street circuit

00:31:37always comes the danger

00:31:38of a virtual safety car

00:31:40or a full safety car

00:31:41remember though

00:31:42we've only only had

00:31:43we've only actually had

00:31:44one yellow flag

00:31:45in the last two

00:31:46Singapore Grand Prix

00:31:47and no sign of the

00:31:49safety car

00:31:49extraordinary that

00:31:50isn't it

00:31:51absolutely extraordinary

00:31:52good old

00:31:53analogue system there

00:31:55of letting your driver

00:31:56know the details

00:31:58the pit board

00:31:59yeah

00:32:00very handy

00:32:01on a place like this

00:32:02where often

00:32:02the team radio

00:32:03can get a bit lost

00:32:04when you're

00:32:05a long long way

00:32:06from the pits

00:32:07and running in between

00:32:08the buildings

00:32:09we're watching

00:32:10Isaac Hadjar

00:32:11closing in on

00:32:11Arvid Lindblad

00:32:12here driving

00:32:13for the first time

00:32:14Lando Norris

00:32:15is still moving

00:32:15to the left hand side

00:32:17down the straight

00:32:17to get some cooler air

00:32:19coming through

00:32:20his McLaren car

00:32:21most drivers

00:32:22will tell you

00:32:23at some point

00:32:24in their career

00:32:24or maybe indeed

00:32:25quite often

00:32:26they never saw

00:32:27the pit board

00:32:28the whole race

00:32:29especially if it's

00:32:30if your pit position

00:32:31is very early on

00:32:32into the pit straight

00:32:35which it certainly

00:32:37would be

00:32:37for McLaren

00:32:38reigning

00:32:39constructors champions

00:32:39of course

00:32:40or indeed

00:32:40in the 80s

00:32:4190s at Le Mans

00:32:42for example

00:32:43the pit board

00:32:43is at the far end

00:32:44of the circuit

00:32:457km away

00:32:47based on your

00:32:47previous lap

00:32:48and then you had

00:32:49an inboard

00:32:50and you had to

00:32:50remember that

00:32:51for the next

00:32:517km

00:32:53otherwise you'd

00:32:53miss the pit lane

00:32:54and run out of petrol

00:32:55run out of fuel

00:32:56and they had

00:32:57a radio

00:32:58to let the guy

00:32:59on the pit board

00:32:59know what to do

00:33:00or carry a pigeon

00:33:01because it's that

00:33:02far away

00:33:02I don't know

00:33:04Ollie Bearman

00:33:05is he getting

00:33:05closer to Pierre Gasly

00:33:07I think he is

00:33:07you know

00:33:08maybe Gasly's

00:33:09tyres are starting

00:33:10to just feel

00:33:11the heat

00:33:12a little bit

00:33:12of a 43 degree

00:33:13track temperature

00:33:14here tonight

00:33:15and Russell's

00:33:16catching them

00:33:16unsurprisingly

00:33:17a second

00:33:18a lap

00:33:18in the midfield

00:33:19there

00:33:19Ted what can

00:33:20you tell us

00:33:21thank you Martin

00:33:22just got a line

00:33:22from McLaren

00:33:23I was looking

00:33:23at how close

00:33:24Norris and

00:33:25Piastri are

00:33:26and was wondering

00:33:26if they're

00:33:27deliberately

00:33:28staying

00:33:28together

00:33:29maybe something

00:33:30else

00:33:30they discussed

00:33:30in the

00:33:31strategy meeting

00:33:31so that they

00:33:32have overtake

00:33:33from or that

00:33:34rather

00:33:35Piastri has

00:33:36overtake

00:33:36team radio

00:33:38it's just

00:33:38Nico Holcomb

00:33:39being told

00:33:40that the tyre

00:33:40degradation

00:33:41does look low

00:33:41across the field

00:33:42ok sorry about that

00:33:43but yeah

00:33:44so with a Piastri

00:33:45to keep overtake

00:33:46in that extra

00:33:46half a megajoule

00:33:47bit of extra energy

00:33:48to keep him

00:33:49within a second

00:33:50of his teammate

00:33:51and McLaren

00:33:51say no

00:33:52not particularly

00:33:53but just

00:33:53the top fours

00:33:54the top four here

00:33:55have very similar

00:33:56pace

00:33:57and that they're

00:33:58saying there

00:33:58definitely still

00:33:59more laps

00:34:00in these tyres

00:34:01the soft ones

00:34:01and even more so

00:34:03for Lewis Hamilton

00:34:04but I did love

00:34:05didn't you

00:34:05that

00:34:06team radio

00:34:07to Lando Norris

00:34:08remember the

00:34:08discussion we had

00:34:09we had in the

00:34:10strategy meeting

00:34:10would have been

00:34:11embarrassing if Lando

00:34:12said no

00:34:12I've forgotten it

00:34:13what did we say

00:34:14but anyway

00:34:15yes my idea

00:34:16whatever my idea

00:34:17was

00:34:17yes I think

00:34:18it's still

00:34:18the best

00:34:18the best one

00:34:20he's not going

00:34:21to say no

00:34:21to that one

00:34:22Isaac Hajar

00:34:23little lock up

00:34:24as he applied

00:34:25the brakes

00:34:26at turn 16

00:34:26he's passed

00:34:27Arvid Limblad

00:34:28and is up now

00:34:29into 15th

00:34:30with Franco

00:34:31sorry with

00:34:32Conor Pinto

00:34:32ahead of him

00:34:35as we watch

00:34:36Lewis Hamilton

00:34:37ahead of Kimi Antonelli

00:34:39can't see much

00:34:40of his teammate

00:34:41at the moment

00:34:41Hamilton's now

00:34:42over four and a half

00:34:43seconds behind

00:34:44yeah he's really

00:34:45struggling a little bit

00:34:46on the medium compound

00:34:47now isn't he

00:34:48Max put the throw down

00:34:50and did start going

00:34:51a little bit faster

00:34:52with that information

00:34:53from Ciampiero Lamiesi

00:34:55his engineer

00:34:55and he's got the gap

00:34:57out to 3.3 seconds

00:35:00as you can see

00:35:01on the top of the screen

00:35:02just dropped down

00:35:02to 3.2

00:35:03so what they know

00:35:05they know

00:35:06they've got to

00:35:07have a cunning plan

00:35:08that involves

00:35:09only Max Verstappen

00:35:11versus two Ferraris

00:35:12two McLarens

00:35:13and not forgetting

00:35:14Kimi Antonelli

00:35:15yes as

00:35:17approved by the

00:35:18Professor of Cunning

00:35:19at Oxford University

00:35:20maybe it's that sort

00:35:21of cunning plan

00:35:22they need

00:35:22here tonight

00:35:23might be quite

00:35:25disheartening

00:35:26a little bit

00:35:26for the Ferrari strategy

00:35:27that while Charles Leclerc

00:35:29was keeping pace

00:35:30for Max Verstappen

00:35:31now he's just

00:35:32got the throttle down

00:35:33a little bit more

00:35:34and he's been told

00:35:34he can push

00:35:35he's opened up now

00:35:36a 3.5 second gap

00:35:38so maybe he was

00:35:39managing his tyres

00:35:40a little bit

00:35:41and it looked like

00:35:42the Ferrari had

00:35:42equal pace

00:35:43but on this evidence

00:35:45it doesn't

00:35:46it was 6 tenths

00:35:46of a second

00:35:47Verstappen was quicker

00:35:48on the last lap

00:35:49long long way to go

00:35:51though

00:35:51we're only on lap 17

00:35:52of 62

00:35:54we're riding on board

00:35:55with Lewis Hamilton

00:35:56who throughout

00:35:57this race

00:35:57has had Kimi Antonelli

00:35:58and Lando Norris

00:35:59right behind him

00:36:00and we feel

00:36:01at the moment

00:36:02the soft tyre

00:36:03is very much

00:36:03the faster tyre

00:36:04here

00:36:05Lewis will go on

00:36:06to that

00:36:06for the latter stages

00:36:07of the race

00:36:08yeah

00:36:08I think he's holding

00:36:10Antonelli and

00:36:10Norris up

00:36:11a little bit

00:36:12at the moment

00:36:12for plan C

00:36:13we need to pick up

00:36:14the pace

00:36:15we're dropping off

00:36:16I don't have

00:36:18any more pace

00:36:19copy

00:36:19then we move

00:36:20to plan B

00:36:21is plan B

00:36:23a two stop

00:36:24isn't it

00:36:24it's got a two stop

00:36:25so in which case

00:36:27where would Lewis Hamilton

00:36:28feed back into

00:36:29if he needs to come in soon

00:36:30Lando Norris

00:36:31right on the tail there

00:36:32and Kimi Antonelli

00:36:33Karim we can go to you

00:36:36yeah Kofti

00:36:36just looking at

00:36:37some of the radio communications

00:36:39that is the latest

00:36:40in a round of messages

00:36:41from Lewis Hamilton

00:36:42saying he doesn't

00:36:43have any more pace

00:36:44in contrast

00:36:45Max Verstappen

00:36:46as you said

00:36:46has responded

00:36:47so

00:36:47they're essentially

00:36:48mitigating the risk

00:36:49of an undercut

00:36:50at Red Bull

00:36:51in case

00:36:52Leclerc does bid first

00:36:53and they end up

00:36:54being caught down

00:36:55to go left later

00:36:56they still have

00:36:57enough of a buffer

00:36:58so looking good for Max

00:37:00do you think

00:37:01you can undercut

00:37:01the cars ahead

00:37:03yeah I mean

00:37:04the pace is a lot better

00:37:04my pace goes strong

00:37:06honestly

00:37:08yeah but will that pace

00:37:09be as strong

00:37:10on a medium tyre

00:37:12is the soft tyre

00:37:14once again

00:37:15holding up beautifully

00:37:16the C3

00:37:17right slap bang

00:37:19in the middle

00:37:19of the Pirelli range

00:37:20in a slightly more

00:37:21robust tyre

00:37:21than last year

00:37:22is that the one

00:37:23to be on

00:37:24for a little bit longer

00:37:25it does look

00:37:26just watching it

00:37:27that Norris

00:37:28got a bit more pace

00:37:29than Antonelli

00:37:30who's got a bit more

00:37:31pace than Hamilton

00:37:32so what they're saying

00:37:33is shall we

00:37:33shall we try and

00:37:34bring you in earlier

00:37:35but you've then got

00:37:36that risk of traffic

00:37:38you've got the risk of

00:37:39suddenly there being

00:37:40a safety car

00:37:41straight just afterwards

00:37:42which wrecks your evening

00:37:44but I think this is

00:37:46letting Piastri

00:37:47catch up that 1.7 gap

00:37:49a little bit as well

00:37:50he's going to need

00:37:52I think another

00:37:52three or four laps

00:37:53Lando Norris

00:37:54because he'll want

00:37:55to clear Liam Lawson

00:37:56before he pits

00:37:58and at the moment

00:37:59he would come in

00:37:59come out I think

00:38:00behind Nico Hülkenberg

00:38:02of course that could always

00:38:04a radio caller

00:38:04like that can always

00:38:05be a decoy

00:38:06can't it

00:38:06to try to hurry

00:38:09Mercedes or Ferrari

00:38:10into doing a pit stop

00:38:11because I think

00:38:11they're about to be

00:38:12undercut

00:38:12it's Hamilton

00:38:14on the radio

00:38:15to Carlos Sante

00:38:16his race engineer

00:38:17saying look

00:38:18I can hold this

00:38:19at the moment

00:38:19my last lap

00:38:201.39.1

00:38:21I can do that

00:38:23sort of a pace

00:38:23but I can't go

00:38:25any faster

00:38:25and the leading duo

00:38:27well his teammate

00:38:28Charles Leclerc

00:38:281.37.8

00:38:29on the last lap

00:38:30and Max Verstappen

00:38:311.37.3

00:38:32so Hamilton

00:38:33going through

00:38:34a bit of pain

00:38:34have Ferrari

00:38:35now decided

00:38:36that it's time

00:38:37to bring him in

00:38:38yes they have

00:38:38so Lewis Hamilton

00:38:40couldn't go any faster

00:38:41now it's time

00:38:42to get him onto

00:38:43those soft tyres

00:38:43to try and go

00:38:44either to the end

00:38:45of the race

00:38:46or turn this

00:38:46into a two stop strategy

00:38:48that was great

00:38:48from Lewis there

00:38:49he swerved in the pits

00:38:50at the last possible moment

00:38:51in case anybody else

00:38:53was planning

00:38:54to do the same

00:38:55very dusty

00:38:56in the pit lane

00:38:56as you can see

00:38:57but that was

00:38:58beautifully executed

00:38:59by Ferrari

00:39:00a two and a half

00:39:01second stop

00:39:01Hamilton needs to

00:39:03come out ahead

00:39:04of Liam Lawson

00:39:05we can't see Hamilton

00:39:06now we can see

00:39:07Hamilton

00:39:07I don't think

00:39:08he is going to

00:39:09come out ahead

00:39:09of the racing bulls

00:39:10even though the pit lane

00:39:12feeds in on the inside

00:39:13you take a shorter distance

00:39:15he does come out

00:39:16ahead of Nico Hülkenberg

00:39:18and that was very much

00:39:19crucial

00:39:19but he's got Liam Lawson

00:39:21now ahead of him

00:39:21who he's going to

00:39:22need to clear

00:39:23or he's going to

00:39:24get held up

00:39:24I think on those

00:39:25fresh tyres

00:39:25Lewis Hamilton

00:39:26will be past

00:39:28the racing bulls

00:39:29without too much

00:39:30difficulty

00:39:30it was good

00:39:31to not have to

00:39:32pass Nico Hülkenberg

00:39:33but Hülkenberg

00:39:34knows that's not

00:39:34his fight tonight

00:39:35anyway

00:39:36so I don't think

00:39:36he'd have been

00:39:37risking too much

00:39:38there

00:39:38first stop of the

00:39:40evening

00:39:40and it's Lewis Hamilton

00:39:41who was running

00:39:42in third place

00:39:43and now down

00:39:44in seventh

00:39:45and we ride on board

00:39:46with the number one

00:39:47on the top of his

00:39:48crash helmet

00:39:49and a special one

00:39:49for this Singapore

00:39:50Grand Prix

00:39:50with Lando Norris

00:39:52in fourth

00:39:53behind Kimi Antonelli

00:39:55who's now got

00:39:55a bit of clean air

00:39:56to try and up

00:39:57his pace a bit

00:39:58he has

00:39:59he's done a personal

00:39:59best middle sector

00:40:00Antonelli

00:40:01a good one as well

00:40:03track limits

00:40:04Kimi

00:40:04just keep an eye on this

00:40:06you've got quite a lot

00:40:08turn one

00:40:08couldn't you

00:40:09keep an eye on this

00:40:11well Lando's certainly

00:40:12keeping an eye on it

00:40:13we do hear Martin

00:40:15don't we

00:40:15quite a bit

00:40:16about Kimi Antonelli

00:40:17and track limits

00:40:18and Pete Bonington

00:40:19his race engineer

00:40:20trying to coax him

00:40:22through a race

00:40:22to say look

00:40:23just watch those

00:40:23track limits a touch

00:40:24yeah

00:40:25he's a touch loose

00:40:27sometimes

00:40:27isn't he out there

00:40:29that's been

00:40:30fairly consistent

00:40:30and that

00:40:31he's now been

00:40:32called out for it

00:40:33as well

00:40:34a track limits

00:40:36at turn 19

00:40:38that's the last

00:40:39sorry turn 2

00:40:40that's the

00:40:41that's the one

00:40:42Lando's actually

00:40:42talking about there

00:40:43so yeah

00:40:44three strikes

00:40:45you'll get a flag

00:40:46and after that

00:40:47you'll get

00:40:47a five second penalty

00:40:49there is your strategy

00:40:50powered by AWS

00:40:52if Kimi Antonelli

00:40:53pits now

00:40:53he won't come out

00:40:55ahead of Lewis Hamilton

00:40:56that is the prediction

00:40:58that's the

00:40:58the conundrum

00:40:59that they've got

00:41:00Hamilton on the

00:41:01fresh attire

00:41:02going fast enough

00:41:03so that any chance

00:41:05of Kimi Antonelli

00:41:06responding

00:41:07is not going to

00:41:08get him ahead

00:41:08this has a

00:41:09this has a bit of

00:41:10a feel of Barcelona

00:41:11doesn't it

00:41:11where Ferrari

00:41:12committed early

00:41:13to a counter strategy

00:41:14and ended up

00:41:15winning the race

00:41:16wow

00:41:18target Martin

00:41:19plus 10

00:41:20that's how well

00:41:22these soft tyres

00:41:22are holding up here

00:41:23target plus 10

00:41:25and Lewis Hamilton

00:41:26on those soft tyres

00:41:27they're not a new set

00:41:29they've done a

00:41:30qualifying lap

00:41:30but they're fresher

00:41:32than the tyres

00:41:33that Liam Lawson

00:41:34is running

00:41:35Liam Lawson

00:41:36just managing

00:41:37to stay ahead

00:41:38for the time being

00:41:39let's just follow

00:41:40this I think

00:41:40for a few more

00:41:42corners

00:41:42as Hamilton's

00:41:43got the straight

00:41:44into turn 14

00:41:45and a really good

00:41:46traction I'm sure

00:41:47coming out

00:41:48to turn 13

00:41:49to try and make

00:41:50the move

00:41:50and he's already

00:41:51picking up the

00:41:52slipstream

00:41:52now dive down

00:41:53towards the inside

00:41:54it's a downhill

00:41:55braking zone

00:41:56comfortable though

00:41:57for Lewis Hamilton

00:41:58who took a lap

00:41:59and a half

00:42:00to clear the racing

00:42:01balls

00:42:01and he's up

00:42:01in a sixth

00:42:02Ted down to you

00:42:03yeah so Lewis Hamilton

00:42:04is going to have to do

00:42:05this the hard way

00:42:05nobody is following

00:42:07him into the pit

00:42:08so at the moment

00:42:08nobody thinking

00:42:10that an early stop

00:42:11maybe the first of two

00:42:13we'll wait to see

00:42:13is the way to go

00:42:15so Hamilton

00:42:16out on a limb

00:42:17and unlike Barcelona

00:42:18as you're saying

00:42:19Martin

00:42:19quite rightly

00:42:20this tyre

00:42:21is okay

00:42:22now look

00:42:22could Hamilton

00:42:23do 42 laps

00:42:25on a set of softs

00:42:26I think it's possible

00:42:27I think it is possible

00:42:28tyre phase updates

00:42:29when you can please

00:42:31as I said

00:42:32I cannot go

00:42:32for the knocker

00:42:34wow

00:42:35so Charles Leclerc

00:42:37is starting to struggle

00:42:38yeah he's six seconds

00:42:39off the lead now

00:42:40and really

00:42:42certainly losing

00:42:42three quarters a second

00:42:43to Max Verstappen

00:42:44who's doing a sterling job

00:42:46out front

00:42:47isn't he

00:42:48and we've got

00:42:49Antonelli in the 37s

00:42:51as well now

00:42:52so Antonelli

00:42:53starting to come back

00:42:54at Charles Leclerc

00:42:55and going along

00:42:56very nicely

00:42:57indeed

00:42:57taking Lando Norris

00:42:59with him

00:42:59also in the

00:43:00one minute 37s

00:43:02just a question

00:43:03for you

00:43:03Ted's posed the question

00:43:05can Lewis Hamilton

00:43:05go 42 laps

00:43:07on a set of soft tyres

00:43:08here's an alternative

00:43:09question

00:43:10can he put in

00:43:1120 or so

00:43:12qualifying style laps

00:43:14and really push

00:43:15those soft tyres

00:43:16to its limit

00:43:17to make a two stop

00:43:18strategy work

00:43:19can he do something

00:43:20different here

00:43:20it's what he's going

00:43:21to have to do

00:43:21isn't it

00:43:23another track limit

00:43:24for Antonelli then

00:43:26so what he does

00:43:27you can see

00:43:28he sort of straight lines

00:43:29it a little bit

00:43:30and yeah

00:43:32so you carry more speed

00:43:33that's why

00:43:34they have to call it out

00:43:35and we'll show you

00:43:36when we get down there

00:43:37so one more track limit

00:43:39it's got a long way to go

00:43:40we're not anywhere near

00:43:41half distance yet

00:43:42it's the

00:43:43we can't see him

00:43:45it's that kerb there

00:43:46where he's

00:43:48that's

00:43:48London of course

00:43:49but that's where Antonelli

00:43:50has been

00:43:51called out

00:43:52twice now

00:43:53three times

00:43:53to get a black flag

00:43:54after that

00:43:56do it again

00:43:57it's a five second penalty

00:43:58every time

00:43:59Karun Chandlock

00:44:00I look

00:44:01at Lewis Hamilton

00:44:02sector times

00:44:03it's either a personal best

00:44:04or the best

00:44:05in that sector

00:44:06he's pushing on here

00:44:08he absolutely

00:44:09is pushing on

00:44:09but he needs to

00:44:10as Martin said

00:44:10Antonelli

00:44:11has raised his game

00:44:12and down a 37.7

00:44:14Lewis only took

00:44:14half a second

00:44:15out of him

00:44:16the gap between them

00:44:17is on the cusp

00:44:18of the pit lane window

00:44:19I've got a fantastic graphic here

00:44:21that shows me

00:44:22whether the driver

00:44:23is within the window

00:44:23or not

00:44:24and Lewis is actually

00:44:25on that line

00:44:26hovering around

00:44:2722

00:44:27222.5

00:44:28so if Antonelli

00:44:29pitted now

00:44:30they would be

00:44:30wheel to wheel

00:44:31at the pit exit

00:44:32let's see

00:44:32what Mercedes do

00:44:34Lewis Hamilton's

00:44:35last lap

00:44:36at 1.37.2

00:44:37was half a second

00:44:38quicker

00:44:38than Kimi Antonelli

00:44:40meanwhile

00:44:40George Russell

00:44:41has now closed

00:44:42the gap

00:44:42on Esteban Ocon

00:44:43ahead of him

00:44:44Russell trying to move

00:44:45up onto the fringes

00:44:46of the points

00:44:47after starting

00:44:48this race

00:44:49on the medium tyre

00:44:50we talk about

00:44:51field spread

00:44:52though don't we

00:44:52Russell then

00:44:53trying to get

00:44:53through the back

00:44:5446 seconds

00:44:55off the lead

00:44:56that's the equivalent

00:44:57of two pit stops

00:44:58that's the pain

00:44:59you take

00:45:00when you start

00:45:01at the back

00:45:01of a street circuit

00:45:03yep he knew

00:45:04the minute he had

00:45:04that power unit issue

00:45:06that saw him retire

00:45:07from the Bahrain Grand Prix

00:45:09in Malaysia

00:45:09that the pain

00:45:11of last Sunday

00:45:12was going to be

00:45:13doubled

00:45:13for the pain

00:45:14of this Sunday

00:45:15and whilst I'm sure

00:45:17he's enjoyed

00:45:18a few overtakes

00:45:19so far

00:45:19being this far

00:45:21out of the points

00:45:21is not

00:45:22where he'd have

00:45:23envisaged

00:45:23being in Singapore

00:45:24when he was

00:45:25dominating

00:45:26Baku

00:45:26which is now

00:45:27just a fortnight away

00:45:28and seems like

00:45:29an age away

00:45:29doesn't it

00:45:30absolutely

00:45:30nothing wrong

00:45:31with the grunt

00:45:32of the Ferrari

00:45:32in that Haas

00:45:33or the Haas

00:45:34straight line speed

00:45:35there

00:45:36of Esteban Ocon

00:45:37down the inside

00:45:38goes George Russell

00:45:39there's nothing wrong

00:45:41with the brakes

00:45:41on the Mercedes

00:45:42either

00:45:42that was nice

00:45:43just better say

00:45:43he's got to do it

00:45:44on the brakes

00:45:45because the Haas

00:45:46is quick in a straight line

00:45:47so George then

00:45:49is now heading

00:45:50towards the point

00:45:51Oli Behrman to go

00:45:52this is looking

00:45:54more and more

00:45:54like a two stop

00:45:55strategy for Lewis

00:45:56Hamilton

00:45:56he's just put in

00:45:57a 37-1

00:45:59which is

00:46:00over a second

00:46:01faster than his

00:46:02teammate

00:46:02six tenths faster

00:46:04than Max Verstappen

00:46:04yes he's on

00:46:05fresher tyres

00:46:06of course

00:46:07but he is

00:46:08absolutely pushing

00:46:09those

00:46:09no sign of

00:46:10management at all

00:46:11this looks like

00:46:12a two stopper

00:46:13for Ferrari

00:46:14and Lewis

00:46:15has been told

00:46:15over the radio

00:46:16target time

00:46:171.36.5

00:46:19my goodness

00:46:20that's quick

00:46:20just a bit

00:46:21meanwhile at McLaren

00:46:23they're thinking

00:46:24it might be nice

00:46:25for sustainability

00:46:26or even successful reasons

00:46:28just to save these tyres

00:46:29a little bit

00:46:30and not use any more

00:46:31than necessary

00:46:32still thinking

00:46:33target plus 10

00:46:34going 10 laps longer

00:46:36than they envisaged

00:46:37on these soft compound tyres

00:46:39as our race leader

00:46:40Max Verstappen

00:46:41crosses the line

00:46:42and he is

00:46:44a long way clear

00:46:45of Charles Leclerc

00:46:46in second place

00:46:46Kimi Antonelli

00:46:48in third

00:46:49is coming into

00:46:50the pit lane

00:46:50so this is going

00:46:52to be interesting

00:46:52Lewis Hamilton

00:46:53now through turn 15

00:46:55and on his way

00:46:56to the corner

00:46:56where Antonelli's

00:46:58teammate

00:46:58George Russell

00:46:59just got past

00:47:00Esteban Ocon

00:47:01the world champion

00:47:03elect stops

00:47:04new mediums

00:47:05are fitted

00:47:06and fitted

00:47:07without any issue

00:47:08two and a half seconds

00:47:09Hamilton's just

00:47:09gone past our

00:47:10commentary box

00:47:11right about now

00:47:12and down the main

00:47:14straight he comes

00:47:15and we still can't see

00:47:15Kimi Antonelli

00:47:16there he is

00:47:17Hamilton

00:47:18comfortably ahead

00:47:19of Kimi Antonelli

00:47:21stopped early

00:47:22to preserve that position

00:47:24and in fact

00:47:25Martin

00:47:25after those

00:47:26two pit stops

00:47:27which were roughly

00:47:28the same

00:47:29amount of time

00:47:29stationary

00:47:30Hamilton's got a much

00:47:32bigger lead

00:47:32he has

00:47:34because the pace

00:47:35he was doing

00:47:35in those two or three

00:47:36laps were

00:47:36were mighty

00:47:38another 37-0

00:47:40so where will

00:47:41Leclerc emerge

00:47:42in that little

00:47:43squabble

00:47:44because he's been

00:47:44struggling for lap

00:47:45time

00:47:46he is going to be

00:47:47very very close

00:47:48to Lewis Hamilton

00:47:50Karun what can you

00:47:51tell us

00:47:53that's absolutely

00:47:54right Martin

00:47:54at the moment

00:47:55the gap between

00:47:55them is 24 seconds

00:47:57so if Ferrari

00:47:58have a clean stop

00:47:59he should come out

00:48:00just in front of Lewis

00:48:02he will of course

00:48:03have a tyre delta

00:48:05of five laps

00:48:06fresher tyres

00:48:07neither Ferrari

00:48:08driver of course

00:48:09are carrying new

00:48:10soft tyres

00:48:11into this race

00:48:11along with Antonelli

00:48:12they're the only

00:48:13three of the top

00:48:14cars without a new

00:48:15set of softs

00:48:16has he got a new

00:48:17set of mediums

00:48:18Karun

00:48:19he does

00:48:20yes

00:48:20he does have

00:48:21a new set of mediums

00:48:22because they just

00:48:22take them out

00:48:23they just take them

00:48:24out the tyre blankets

00:48:25because that's what

00:48:25they're going to put

00:48:26on the Ferrari

00:48:27so Charles Leclerc

00:48:29will be going on

00:48:30to what we think

00:48:31at the moment

00:48:31is the

00:48:32is the less pacey

00:48:34the less racy

00:48:35of the two tyre

00:48:36compounds that are

00:48:37being used

00:48:38Lando Norris

00:48:39goes into second

00:48:40place and they're

00:48:40thinking target

00:48:41plus 15 now

00:48:42at McLaren

00:48:433.1 second stop

00:48:45for Charles Leclerc

00:48:47which is 6 tenths

00:48:48slower than his

00:48:48teammate Lewis Hamilton

00:48:49and Leclerc is going

00:48:51to come out here

00:48:52with Hamilton

00:48:53racing down the

00:48:54pit straight

00:48:54and Hamilton

00:48:55well he's further

00:48:56ahead than Antonelli

00:48:57and he's definitely

00:48:58closer after that

00:48:59pit stop to Leclerc

00:49:03degradation looks low

00:49:04we're happy for you

00:49:05to lean on this tyre

00:49:06see what it can do

00:49:07sounds like a two-stop

00:49:08of air then

00:49:09yeah they're as close

00:49:10as we were expecting

00:49:11and of course

00:49:12then Leclerc has to

00:49:13get those tyres

00:49:14fully up to temperature

00:49:15come out of the

00:49:16blankets at 70 degrees

00:49:18you want them at 100

00:49:19on the racetrack

00:49:20and they've had to

00:49:21trundle down the pit

00:49:22lane as well

00:49:23I was just about to

00:49:24say Charles Leclerc

00:49:24might need to watch

00:49:25out a bit in his

00:49:26mirrors because Lewis

00:49:27Hamilton by the end

00:49:28of that Raffles Boulevard

00:49:30straight is going to

00:49:31be right upon him

00:49:32and well how long

00:49:33does it take these

00:49:33medium tyres to get

00:49:34fired up to get to

00:49:35their most grippy

00:49:36and can Hamilton

00:49:37take advantage

00:49:38and move ahead

00:49:39of his teammate

00:49:40we'll see at the

00:49:41end of the next

00:49:42straight over the

00:49:43Espenard Bridge

00:49:44Max Verstappen's gap

00:49:45to Lando Norris

00:49:47around about 16 seconds

00:49:48Oscar Piastri has

00:49:49dropped back again

00:49:50from his teammate

00:49:51and then comes the

00:49:52Ferrari battle

00:49:53now Lewis Hamilton

00:49:56will get a decent exit

00:49:58Charles Leclerc

00:49:58gets very good grip

00:50:00and I think he's got

00:50:01this one covered

00:50:01he has

00:50:02and with Max Verstappen

00:50:04having had such

00:50:05great pace

00:50:06they've built a couple

00:50:07of laps of spare

00:50:09time in there

00:50:10they don't have to

00:50:11react straight away

00:50:12he had such a lead

00:50:13that they can give it

00:50:14another couple of laps

00:50:15just in case there's

00:50:16a safety car or

00:50:17something

00:50:17and to react

00:50:20and get in the pits

00:50:22because he was so

00:50:23far ahead

00:50:23while we've been

00:50:25concentrating on the

00:50:26Ferraris and Max

00:50:27Verstappen

00:50:28McLaren saying to Lando

00:50:29Norris target plus 15

00:50:31have McLaren worked

00:50:33out here

00:50:33and their strategy team

00:50:34worked out

00:50:35that overtaking isn't

00:50:36that easy tonight

00:50:36so track position is

00:50:38king

00:50:38we might as well

00:50:39just extend and extend

00:50:40and see what happens

00:50:42absolutely

00:50:44Ted's got news

00:50:45I think the McLaren

00:50:47game here is that

00:50:48they might not be

00:50:49in contention for the

00:50:50win but if they can

00:50:51pit under virtual

00:50:52safety car or safety

00:50:52car conditions

00:50:53then they might well

00:50:54be in condition for

00:50:55the win

00:50:56and so they just

00:50:56keep extending

00:50:57you're right Crofty

00:50:58I expect to see

00:51:00Max Verstappen

00:51:00in a lap or two

00:51:03because he has to

00:51:04keep that track

00:51:05position over the

00:51:06Ferraris

00:51:06yes the medium tyre

00:51:08he'll go on to

00:51:09is not as good

00:51:10as the soft

00:51:10but he has to

00:51:11keep that track

00:51:12position

00:51:12the McLarens

00:51:13don't mind

00:51:14they're just going

00:51:15to have a go

00:51:17just go longer

00:51:17and longer

00:51:18see what happens

00:51:19good idea for them

00:51:20I think

00:51:21one other interesting

00:51:22facet might be

00:51:23if Lewis Hamilton

00:51:24is on a two stop

00:51:25strategy

00:51:26and Charles Leclerc

00:51:26isn't

00:51:27Ferrari are going

00:51:27to have to let him

00:51:28go at some stage

00:51:29they don't need

00:51:30Hamilton being held

00:51:31up at disadvantage

00:51:32by his teammate

00:51:34who's going for a one

00:51:34if that's the case

00:51:35absolutely

00:51:36let's see what

00:51:37they decide to do

00:51:38about that

00:51:39Lewis on the

00:51:40grippy attire now

00:51:42and I suspect

00:51:43he'll be on the

00:51:44radio saying

00:51:44I've got more pace

00:51:45let's do something

00:51:46about this

00:51:47and trying to get

00:51:47down the road

00:51:48put some pressure

00:51:49on Red Bull

00:51:50and Max Verstappen

00:51:51you know he was

00:51:52lapping in the

00:51:52137

00:51:53it's that last lap

00:51:54Martin

00:51:55138.8

00:51:56from Lewis Hamilton

00:51:58so

00:51:59losing time

00:52:00in terms of

00:52:01where he thinks

00:52:02he is in the race

00:52:03but it's always

00:52:04difficult isn't it

00:52:05for a team to

00:52:05convince the

00:52:06driver ahead

00:52:07that he's not

00:52:08going to be

00:52:09disadvantaged

00:52:09by helping his

00:52:10teammate's strategy

00:52:11yeah

00:52:11Charles will take

00:52:12that very badly

00:52:13if indeed he ever

00:52:14does get that

00:52:15call

00:52:15but

00:52:18we lost two

00:52:18seconds

00:52:19we lost that

00:52:20copy

00:52:21we saw

00:52:21yeah

00:52:22so

00:52:24as we were

00:52:25just discussing

00:52:25Lewis was bound

00:52:27to be on the

00:52:27radio saying

00:52:28come on

00:52:28I now

00:52:30it's just

00:52:31stopped my

00:52:31progress

00:52:32completely

00:52:33Max Verstappen

00:52:34has just been

00:52:35told on his

00:52:35team radio

00:52:36that the

00:52:37medium tyre

00:52:38not setting

00:52:38the world

00:52:38alight

00:52:39that is

00:52:40something you

00:52:41don't even

00:52:42you don't need

00:52:42a timing screen

00:52:43to help you

00:52:44with that one

00:52:44currently

00:52:45the soft tyre

00:52:46is very much

00:52:47the one to be

00:52:48on

00:52:48Charles Leclerc

00:52:49keeping Lewis

00:52:50Hamilton at bay

00:52:51overtaking

00:52:52is pretty tricky

00:52:53here I think

00:52:53tonight

00:52:54and Hamilton

00:52:55losing time

00:52:56even though

00:52:57he's got

00:52:57overtake mode

00:52:58and has just

00:52:58set the fastest

00:52:59first sector

00:53:00losing time

00:53:01compared to what

00:53:02his benchmark

00:53:03lap times

00:53:04need to be

00:53:04to try and

00:53:05make a two

00:53:06stop strategy

00:53:07work

00:53:07so let's see

00:53:08what happens

00:53:08out on turn

00:53:0913

00:53:11Charles Leclerc

00:53:12getting good

00:53:13grip out of

00:53:14that corner

00:53:14and Hamilton's

00:53:15got to try and

00:53:15find a way

00:53:16past here

00:53:16unless Ferrari

00:53:17issue the

00:53:18team orders

00:53:19Leclerc's just

00:53:20done a personal

00:53:21best middle

00:53:21sector

00:53:22and that's

00:53:22gapped him

00:53:22a little bit

00:53:23hasn't gapped

00:53:23his team mate

00:53:24so Leclerc knows

00:53:26what's coming up

00:53:27next and he

00:53:27doesn't get off

00:53:28down the road

00:53:28thing is

00:53:30he'll be

00:53:31he'll be saying

00:53:32look I'm going

00:53:33as fast as I can

00:53:33here I'm not

00:53:34hanging around

00:53:34it's just the

00:53:36tyre that he's

00:53:36on is not

00:53:37giving him the

00:53:37pace

00:53:39which is kind

00:53:40of the

00:53:40the instruction

00:53:41that he probably

00:53:41needs to help

00:53:43him understand

00:53:44what's happening

00:53:44out there

00:53:45he fastest lap

00:53:46of the race

00:53:46for Charles

00:53:47Leclerc

00:53:47so that's

00:53:48his answer

00:53:49to he's

00:53:50holding me up

00:53:52so maybe that

00:53:53medium tyre

00:53:53has now fired

00:53:54itself up

00:53:54and things

00:53:55might change

00:53:56again

00:53:56you know

00:53:56the track

00:53:56will evolve

00:53:57as the rubber

00:53:58goes down

00:53:58we've seen

00:53:59a lot of

00:53:59marbles

00:53:59already forming

00:54:00on some

00:54:00of the

00:54:01higher speed

00:54:02corners

00:54:03and the

00:54:04fuel load

00:54:04goes down

00:54:05they're now

00:54:06under half

00:54:06tanks of

00:54:07fuel

00:54:07and you've

00:54:08got a

00:54:08different beast

00:54:09underneath you

00:54:11lap 28

00:54:12of 62

00:54:13here in

00:54:14Singapore

00:54:15under the

00:54:16floodlights

00:54:16for the

00:54:17first night

00:54:18race that we

00:54:18had in

00:54:19Formula 1

00:54:20back in

00:54:202008

00:54:21this is the

00:54:2117th running

00:54:22of the

00:54:23Singapore

00:54:23Grand Prix

00:54:24three of the

00:54:25last four

00:54:26runnings of

00:54:27this race

00:54:27have been led

00:54:28from start

00:54:29to finish

00:54:29and Max

00:54:30Verstappen

00:54:31has led

00:54:31every single

00:54:33one of these

00:54:3327 and a

00:54:34half laps

00:54:35that we've

00:54:36seen so far

00:54:36and he's

00:54:37currently

00:54:37nearly 18

00:54:38seconds clear

00:54:39of Lando

00:54:39Norris

00:54:40George Russell

00:54:41started right

00:54:41at the back

00:54:42he's on the

00:54:43fringes of the

00:54:43points and he's

00:54:44got Ollie

00:54:44Behrman just

00:54:45ahead of him

00:54:46let's head

00:54:46down to

00:54:46Caroon in

00:54:47the pit lane

00:54:49and he's

00:54:49just having a

00:54:50look at

00:54:51Max's strategy

00:54:52and looking

00:54:52at their

00:54:53extension

00:54:53there

00:54:53on his

00:54:54current

00:54:55runway

00:54:55he's pulling

00:54:56a good

00:54:56chunk

00:54:57out of the

00:54:57McLarens

00:54:57isn't he

00:54:58sort of

00:54:58five six

00:54:59tenths

00:54:59per lap

00:55:00and actually

00:55:01I wonder

00:55:02if they

00:55:02just think

00:55:02let's get

00:55:03him clear

00:55:03off the

00:55:04McLarens

00:55:05before they

00:55:05box

00:55:06because

00:55:06perhaps

00:55:07they are

00:55:07concerned

00:55:08that the

00:55:08McLarens

00:55:08will extend

00:55:09and he

00:55:10could get

00:55:10stuck

00:55:10behind

00:55:11them

00:55:12absolutely

00:55:13right

00:55:13yeah

00:55:14so

00:55:1421 seconds

00:55:15ahead of

00:55:16Piastri

00:55:1618 seconds

00:55:17ahead of

00:55:17Norris

00:55:20we need

00:55:21more management

00:55:22in 10

00:55:2318

00:55:23for tyres

00:55:24and performance

00:55:26that was not

00:55:27the response

00:55:28Lewis was

00:55:29looking for

00:55:30slow down

00:55:31a bit

00:55:31in a couple

00:55:31of corners

00:55:32was absolutely

00:55:33not

00:55:33the response

00:55:35he wanted

00:55:36there

00:55:36does that

00:55:37sound like

00:55:37a change

00:55:38in strategic

00:55:38thinking

00:55:39to you

00:55:40or is that

00:55:40a change

00:55:41in strategic

00:55:42thinking

00:55:42to help

00:55:43out the

00:55:44fact that

00:55:44we might

00:55:45need to

00:55:45ask your

00:55:45teammates

00:55:46to let

00:55:46you

00:55:46past

00:55:48yeah

00:55:49it certainly

00:55:49wasn't yet

00:55:50we've noted

00:55:51that you're

00:55:52being held

00:55:53up but

00:55:54he is still

00:55:55within the

00:55:56overtake zone

00:55:56they're doing

00:55:57identical times

00:55:58136

00:55:589

00:55:59Lewis say

00:55:59I can go

00:56:00a lot faster

00:56:01if he wasn't

00:56:02in the way

00:56:02but they're

00:56:02in the 36ers

00:56:03now and

00:56:04that's quite

00:56:05a tough call

00:56:06for Ferrari

00:56:06to tell

00:56:07Lecler to

00:56:08get out of

00:56:08the way

00:56:08the next

00:56:09radio message

00:56:10from Lewis

00:56:10Hamilton

00:56:11simply says

00:56:11if I can

00:56:12get away

00:56:13let me

00:56:14get past

00:56:14he's getting

00:56:16very frustrated

00:56:17I think

00:56:17stuck behind

00:56:19his teammate

00:56:19as he is

00:56:20there's Pierre

00:56:21Gasly in the

00:56:22Alpine

00:56:22Ollie Bearman

00:56:23in the

00:56:23house

00:56:23and George

00:56:24Russell

00:56:24in the

00:56:25Mercedes

00:56:25and I said

00:56:26that Russell

00:56:26was on the

00:56:27fringes

00:56:27of the

00:56:28points

00:56:28he is

00:56:29very much

00:56:30in that

00:56:30stage

00:56:31but it's

00:56:32looking ever

00:56:34more tricky

00:56:34to try and

00:56:35pull off

00:56:35overtakes

00:56:36if you

00:56:36haven't

00:56:37got

00:56:37a

00:56:37significant

00:56:38pace

00:56:38advantage

00:56:39currently

00:56:40Isaac

00:56:40Hadjar

00:56:41for instance

00:56:41Martin

00:56:41started at

00:56:42the back

00:56:43one of the pit

00:56:43lane with

00:56:43George Russell

00:56:44in the other

00:56:45Red Bull

00:56:45still 14th

00:56:47he was

00:56:48reporting a few

00:56:49gremlins early

00:56:49on wasn't he

00:56:50Hadjar

00:56:50but he's

00:56:52in the 139s

00:56:53as well

00:56:53back there

00:56:54but that's

00:56:55still a second

00:56:56second and a

00:56:56half off the

00:56:57leading base

00:56:57where Hadjar

00:56:58would normally

00:56:59be in clear

00:57:00air

00:57:00so Verstappen

00:57:02then still

00:57:03pulling gaps

00:57:05on McLaren

00:57:06all the time

00:57:07and he will

00:57:08soon be

00:57:08more than a

00:57:10pit stop ahead

00:57:10of the entire

00:57:12field

00:57:12and he's well

00:57:13clear of the

00:57:14Ferraris at the

00:57:14moment

00:57:15and Antonelli

00:57:16is matched

00:57:17so he's got

00:57:17seven seconds

00:57:18in his pocket

00:57:19over those

00:57:20on a pit stop

00:57:21into the pits

00:57:21comes Pierre

00:57:22Gasly

00:57:23in the Alpine

00:57:24so they've

00:57:25decided to

00:57:26preserve his

00:57:27place ahead

00:57:28of Behrman

00:57:28and Russell

00:57:29now's a good

00:57:30time to come

00:57:31and make that

00:57:32pit stop

00:57:33so the good

00:57:34news for Russell

00:57:34is I'm going

00:57:35to imagine

00:57:35Haas will react

00:57:36to that

00:57:37and bring

00:57:37Behrman in

00:57:38straight away

00:57:38Gasly was

00:57:40running in the

00:57:40top ten

00:57:41for the first

00:57:41time in three

00:57:42years here

00:57:42completing laps

00:57:43in the points

00:57:44that looked a

00:57:45little slower

00:57:46than he would

00:57:46have wanted

00:57:47oh dear

00:57:48not if you

00:57:49were a Cadillac

00:57:49mechanic

00:57:50I'm glad he

00:57:53just held

00:57:54his position

00:57:54I don't know

00:57:54if he slipped

00:57:56over or not

00:57:57Valtteri Bottas

00:57:57had just come

00:57:58in to the pits

00:57:59ahead of Pierre

00:58:00Gasly

00:58:00but Gasly

00:58:01back out

00:58:02onto the

00:58:03racetrack

00:58:03and now down

00:58:04in 14th

00:58:05so Hajar

00:58:05moves up

00:58:06as well

00:58:07and Valtteri

00:58:08Bottas

00:58:08right at the

00:58:09back

00:58:09we've had

00:58:10one retirement

00:58:11in this race

00:58:12Gabriel

00:58:12Bortoletto

00:58:13with a suspected

00:58:14gearbox problem

00:58:15powered by AWS

00:58:17your strategy

00:58:18insight

00:58:18is at the

00:58:19soft tyre

00:58:20degradation

00:58:20lower than

00:58:21expected

00:58:21it certainly

00:58:22is

00:58:23that though

00:58:24is Franco

00:58:25Colopinto

00:58:25you don't need

00:58:27me to tell you

00:58:27that he doesn't

00:58:28want to be sat

00:58:28there for very

00:58:29long

00:58:29he is pulled

00:58:30over

00:58:30has Franco

00:58:32into the runoff

00:58:33area

00:58:33down

00:58:34at turn

00:58:35eight

00:58:36still running

00:58:40says yellow

00:58:41flag on his

00:58:41dashboard

00:58:42because he

00:58:42is the yellow

00:58:43flag of course

00:58:44and then he

00:58:45spins it around

00:58:46and manages

00:58:47I think

00:58:48to get himself

00:58:49back

00:58:49is he moving

00:58:50now there's

00:58:51still a yellow

00:58:52flag down

00:58:53there briefly

00:58:54the yellow

00:58:55flag stops

00:58:56because he

00:58:57was briefly

00:58:57moving

00:58:58and now he

00:58:58stopped again

00:58:59you can see

00:59:00on the track

00:59:00map there

00:59:01where Franco

00:59:01Colopinto

00:59:02is

00:59:02tell you

00:59:03what this

00:59:03would play

00:59:03into the hands

00:59:04of Verstappen

00:59:05and the two

00:59:06McLarens

00:59:07wouldn't it

00:59:08would they

00:59:08still be ahead

00:59:09of the Ferraris

00:59:10the two

00:59:10McLarens

00:59:11absolutely not

00:59:12Colopinto

00:59:13has got it

00:59:14going

00:59:15and it's

00:59:16terminal

00:59:16that problem

00:59:17so he's

00:59:18out of the

00:59:19race

00:59:19Hulkenberg

00:59:20decides to

00:59:21pit

00:59:21to try and

00:59:22cover

00:59:22Pierre Gasly

00:59:24who's making

00:59:24his way past

00:59:25the start

00:59:25finish line

00:59:26now

00:59:27as Hulkenberg

00:59:28comes out

00:59:29of the pits

00:59:29through

00:59:30goes

00:59:30Sainz

00:59:31and

00:59:32Hulkenberg

00:59:33just squeezes

00:59:34into the

00:59:36racetrack

00:59:36ahead

00:59:37of Carlos

00:59:38Sainz

00:59:38Isaac

00:59:39Hadjar

00:59:39is behind

00:59:40these

00:59:40and then

00:59:41comes

00:59:41Pierre Gasly

00:59:42so the

00:59:42undercut

00:59:43attempt

00:59:43from Alpine

00:59:44didn't get

00:59:45him past

00:59:46Hulkenberg

00:59:46it didn't

00:59:47did it

00:59:47good move

00:59:48there from

00:59:48Audi

00:59:49so still

00:59:50no signs

00:59:50then

00:59:51of another

00:59:52safety car

00:59:52of any

00:59:53type

00:59:54and

00:59:55Verstappen

00:59:56is now

00:59:57pretty much

00:59:57a pit stop

00:59:58ahead of

00:59:59Piastri

00:59:59he just

01:00:00needs

01:00:00a few

01:00:01more

01:00:01laps

01:00:02and then
