00:00Claire would have been right alongside Max Verstappen
00:02and looking the favourite in the Turn 1.
00:05Yeah, well, of course it's that.
00:07Lewis had kind of nearly lost third place to Antonelli,
00:10but hung it around the outside of one.
00:12And Antonelli being very cautious, we know,
00:15and you can just tell he's thinking championship,
00:19the others are thinking race victories.
00:21This is going to be close, isn't it?
00:23Look at all the sign of this.
00:24Down that Max pinches him, but leaves him racing room.
00:31And, yeah, he left him fully racing room.
00:34And front wing of the car by squeezing them
00:36and then get a puncture from it.
00:39So Matt Max very fit on the way in there.
00:42So what happened to Arvid Lindblad, who dropped four places?
00:45He's kind of caught in a bit of no-man's land.
00:48That's Carlos Sainz in the Williams.
00:50That's quite dangerous, what Sainz did?
00:51Fight and break, all three crashed.
00:53One stick, he had to get it done next time around at Turn 7,
00:58going the long way around the outside.
01:00Wow, that was close.
01:02They weren't getting too many team owners from the pitfall, were they?
01:05And Esteban, of course, who's lost that drive for next year,
01:08probably wouldn't listen if he had.
01:13Yeah, he had a couple of chances to get in the pit lane
01:16and then did go in the pit lane, but at the far end of it.
01:20But as I say, that car is kind of like almost worst-case scenario
01:24for pit lane and racetrack.
01:27Do you remember the discussion we had in the strategy meeting?
01:31Do you still agree that your idea would be best?
01:34Yeah, I think so.
01:36To clear the racing balls and he's up in a sink.
01:38The Ferrari in that Haas, or the Haas' straight-line speed there
01:42of Esteban Ocon.
01:44Down the inside goes George Russell.
01:46There's nothing wrong with the brakes on the Mercedes.
01:48That was nice.
01:49So this is going to be interesting.
01:51Lewis Hamilton now through turn 15
01:53and on his way to the corner where Antonelli's teammate,
01:57George Russell, just got past Esteban Ocon.
02:00The world champion elect stops.
02:02New mediums are fitted.
02:04And fitted without any issue.
02:06Two and a half seconds.
02:07Hamilton's just gone past our commentary box right about now.
02:11And down the main straight he comes.
02:13And we still can't see Kimi Antonelli.
02:15There he is.
02:16Hamilton comfortably ahead.
02:18He's got it going and it's terminal, that problem.
02:22So he's out of the race.
02:24Come into the pits.
02:25I can see him behind me.
02:26He moves off the leg.
02:26He's going to be super close.
02:28Can't copy.
02:28Sorry, Karun.
02:29Had jumping on those tyres, of course,
02:31since the beginning of the Grand Prix
02:32as Piastri gets the instruction to pit stop.
02:35And Gasly gets the instruction to overtake.
02:38Piastri's pit stop.
02:40And it was definitely an issue with the front right tyre.
02:45Needed a second stab to tighten the wheel.
02:48You know, the points look a little bit far.
02:50But again, in his case,
02:52a safety car might put him back into the race.
02:55That is race engineer Carlos Santi.
02:57That is Lance Stroll at Turn 14
03:00who's trying to get himself back into the race
03:03and is not going.
03:04It looked like a lock-up, didn't it?
03:06Rather than a mechanical gremlin as such.
03:10Virtual safety car.
03:12Where's George Russell currently on the circuit?
03:15Will he want to come into the pits?
03:16Absolutely.
03:17If he possibly can.
03:18Sadly for George Russell.
03:20Turn 4, Karun.
03:21He's lost the opportunity maybe for a cheap George Russell
03:24into life.
03:25And he's up in the night.
03:26You'd think so, wouldn't you?
03:27Max, under a safety car,
03:29we would lose position to Leclerc.
03:30But I'm worried about restarting on this tyre zone.
03:35If you would accept pitting behind Leclerc,
03:38say nothing.
03:39If you don't want to pit,
03:40key up on the radio
03:42prior to say something.
03:47OK, mate.
03:47Understood.
03:49But I'm losing these tyres, mate.
03:52And it is quite obvious
03:53that he hasn't got the grip.
03:54Here comes Lando Norris
03:56down the inside at Turn 1.
03:58Hamilton's gone wide
03:59in defence
04:00and keeps ahead of Lando Norris.
04:03And Kimi Antonelli now
04:04might get a better exit
04:06out of Turn 3.
04:07And Kimi Antonelli
04:08picks up fourth place as a result.
04:10He can't give the play.
04:11Picks his spot,
04:12moves up in the fourth place.
04:14At the end of this straight,
04:15he's going to have to lunge it.
04:16He is going to lunge it,
04:17but Hamilton's got the inside line.
04:19Piastri almost went into him at Turn 13.
04:21Now Hamilton goes wide.
04:23This will allow Oscar Piastri
04:24the chance towards Turn 16
04:26to go wheel to wheel.
04:27He's on to the marbles,
04:28but he's ahead of the Ferrari.
04:30He picked his moments
04:31and you can hear the cheers from the crowd.
04:34On the weekend,
04:35he marks his 250th Grand Prix start.
04:38Finally,
04:39he gets the chance to say,
04:40I am a winner at Marina Bay.
04:42Max Verstappen wins
04:44the Singapore Grand Prix
04:45for the first time.
04:47It is back-to-back victories
04:49for Max Verstappen
04:50in Malaysia,
04:52in Bahrain
04:52and here at Singapore.
04:55No one else was in his race.
04:57Did a very long time
04:58in the bank with that one.
04:59Please.
05:00Very long time,
05:00please.
