:03:22. > :03:30.to the highlights of the final Grand Prix of PCs and. We have
:03:30. > :03:34.right here having been crop -- right across the world. The
:03:34. > :03:44.champion is already crowned. You can see that the name Vettel
:03:44. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:54.appears often on this list. In the constructors battle, it was all
:03:54. > :04:00.about the midfield. All the action from the base in just a moment.
:04:00. > :04:04.First, here is what happened in the qualifying. Could Sebastian Vettel
:04:04. > :04:08.break all the records and pick up 15 Paul positions in just one
:04:08. > :04:14.season? Sometimes in Formula One, you have
:04:14. > :04:17.to applaud greatness way you find it. Sebastian Vettel set pole
:04:17. > :04:24.position for the busy Liam Bond bricks, just as he has 14 other
:04:24. > :04:34.times this season -- the Brazilian Grand Prix. He broke Nigel
:04:34. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:40.Mansell's record. Yes, Baby E! We got it. Pretty special. Sorry for
:04:40. > :04:46.my job, but not really sorry. He obviously took three all four races
:04:46. > :04:51.less. Nevertheless, it has been an incredible year for us. A almost as
:04:51. > :04:57.excited word Rubens Barrichello and Bruno Senna, who used to the Home
:04:57. > :05:02.track to deliver their impressive laps. For the other Brazilian in
:05:02. > :05:10.the field looks less sure footed, even by his recent standards.
:05:10. > :05:18.Felipe Massa struggled in his Ferrari. He was beaten to 6th by it
:05:18. > :05:26.-- beaten 26. You have a qualified your team-mate 16 times this year.
:05:26. > :05:30.Does that give you a smile? course that is OK. It is fine.
:05:30. > :05:34.left the rest to fight over the places behind Vettel. Fernando
:05:34. > :05:44.Alonso was in his usual 5th place. Ms Hamilton was disappointed in
:05:44. > :05:45.
:05:45. > :05:53.force, being out qualified by it Jenson Button. The other guys did a
:05:53. > :05:58.great job in front of me. It is not perfect, but it is a good place to
:05:58. > :06:05.start tomorrow. Mark Webber made Sebastian Vettel work for the pole
:06:05. > :06:12.position in the final runs, but what qualifying might have lost --
:06:12. > :06:15.lacked in sporting contest, it made up for in a display of genius.
:06:15. > :06:20.Concentration to the maximum. I hope to get something good out of
:06:20. > :06:28.it in the end. Last race I did not finish. I want to see the chequered
:06:28. > :06:36.flag. I think this race has always been different, special in many
:06:36. > :06:46.ways. It has delivered great races. Red Bull lock out the front row for
:06:46. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:14.the 7th time this season. Jenson with Lewis Hamilton. A lot of
:07:14. > :07:24.science goes into that. He parks quite a bit bare the his yellow
:07:24. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:34.line. -- over his yellow line. Mark Webber is already pointing towards
:07:34. > :07:37.
:07:37. > :07:46.Vettel. Look, but never stare. The Brazilian Grand Prix is under way.
:07:46. > :07:49.Mark Webber is under pressure from Jenson Button. Alonso and goes
:07:49. > :07:55.around the outside of Hamilton. Felipe Massa looks like he has had
:07:55. > :08:01.a great start. Ferrari's, once again, very quick off the start.
:08:01. > :08:11.Very quick from macro webber. Alonso, defending hard against
:08:11. > :08:15.Lewis Hamilton. Michael Schumacher might have slipped back. He is in
:08:15. > :08:22.11th place. It is not often we have said that this season. They are
:08:22. > :08:26.still jockeying for position as we go into turn six. Vettel, pulling
:08:26. > :08:36.out a very handsome lead considering the distance they have
:08:36. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:55.travelled in this Grand Prix. Petrov is up from 15th to 12th.
:08:55. > :09:02.Alguersuari has gone a long way back. Once again, Kovalainen, a
:09:02. > :09:08.mighty start for Lotus, up into 15th place. 1.1 second is the
:09:08. > :09:18.leader by Vettel at the end of the first lap. Schumacher has completed
:09:18. > :09:22.
:09:22. > :09:26.the pass by eight arrester. -- Karthikeyan. He will be looking
:09:26. > :09:36.down the inside as he goes into turn four. Schumacher should defend
:09:36. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:48.that. He did indeed. It is quite slippery on the inside. Rubens
:09:48. > :09:53.Barrichello slipped down from 12 on the grid to 19th. A very poor first
:09:53. > :10:03.lap from him sadly. Fernando Alonso, getting himself up alongside
:10:03. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:14.Hamilton. NASA getting very much upon the kerb. -- Felipe Massa
:10:14. > :10:19.earth. Michael Schumacher, using a lot of the kerb. Good clean stuff
:10:19. > :10:26.from all the runners. Barrichello is already a long way back. He must
:10:26. > :10:31.have been slow off the line. Hamilton got a good start. He was
:10:31. > :10:40.homing in on Mark Webber. Alonso got a good start, but could not
:10:40. > :10:47.really do anything with it. Eight seconds covers the top seven at the
:10:47. > :10:54.moment. It sounded like an incredibly low rpm one that Renault
:10:54. > :11:02.engine. But he glanced in his mirrors and saw he was safe in the
:11:03. > :11:08.run in to turn to. Sebastien had the luxury of being pretty cautious.
:11:08. > :11:15.This is Barrichello. He was swamped with all the cars. There is nothing
:11:15. > :11:20.you can do in that situation. are out of sync with the whole pack.
:11:20. > :11:23.When you are moving along, it looks much, from behind the steering
:11:23. > :11:33.wheel than it does when you are watching. But as soon as you're out
:11:33. > :11:36.of sync in terms of Speed, you get mugged left or right and centre.
:11:36. > :11:44.Michael Platt as he was in the braking phase and the hit the front
:11:44. > :11:50.of his wing -- Michael braked. Michael went for the upside, hit
:11:50. > :12:00.the brakes and then turned in front of Bruno Senna. There was not much
:12:00. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:09.Pruneau could do in that situation. -- Senna. He lost the leading edge,
:12:09. > :12:14.which will affect the overall downforce. But maybe that will trim
:12:14. > :12:22.the car for him and bring him into balance. Let's keep an eye on his
:12:22. > :12:27.lap times. Ever the optimist! We know there is an investigation into
:12:27. > :12:32.that incident between cars seven and nine. Alonso got so much more
:12:32. > :12:36.Speed coming out of five. He has gone around the outside!
:12:36. > :12:41.Unbelievable! That was an incredible pass. You would never
:12:41. > :12:46.dream of going around the outside into that corner. I would not even
:12:46. > :12:56.set the car up to try it. That is the difference between great
:12:56. > :13:02.
:13:02. > :13:07.drivers and... It is maybe six and two threes from that angle. Bruno
:13:07. > :13:13.Senna, not going to a lot of trouble to get out of his way. He
:13:13. > :13:20.is obviously a bit anxious there. There goes the brand new set of
:13:20. > :13:30.tyres on the Schumacher's car. Unlike Vettel in the last race,
:13:30. > :13:33.
:13:33. > :13:40.there was not too much damage. That is something we're hearing and the
:13:40. > :13:43.team radio feed. The Rea tyres are starting to hurt. They can live
:13:43. > :13:51.with a little bit of blistering, but they might have to bring their
:13:51. > :13:57.pit-stops forward. Michael Schumacher of rejoins the mighty
:13:57. > :14:01.scrap between the two McLarens. He is a lap down after that pit stop.
:14:01. > :14:08.As soon as Jensen got a wrong- footed in turn six, he had to
:14:08. > :14:14.defend heavily in four, was slowed in five and Alonso breeze around
:14:14. > :14:21.him in five. -- 6. I think the first point of contact was Bruno
:14:21. > :14:23.Senna or going a little bit deep on the brakes. They had already
:14:23. > :14:29.touched at that point. I don't think Michael has done anything
:14:29. > :14:33.wrong, or Bruno. Michael was a little bit aggressive in the
:14:33. > :14:39.braking when he turned in, but he could not judge exactly where Bruno
:14:39. > :14:49.was. He was in his blind spot. You cannot remove your car from the
:14:49. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :14:59.The whole top of the end plate is broken. Unless their strategy was
:14:59. > :15:05.to do three stops, the hall leading edge was just flapping around. --
:15:05. > :15:10.the entire leading edge. First of all, they say there is
:15:10. > :15:16.nothing wrong with a Jenson Button scarf. Alonso was just quicker.
:15:16. > :15:24.Vitaly Petrov stopping. RADIO: Short shift second gear, we have a
:15:24. > :15:29.gearbox problem. Do your best. Gearbox problem for Sebastian
:15:30. > :15:34.Vettel, he added changes wing in parc ferme, no indication of any
:15:34. > :15:42.problems throughout the weekend. We will see how that affects his lap
:15:42. > :15:50.time. They are telling their drivers to nurse the car. Bob Red
:15:50. > :15:54.Bull are getting ready. . That suggests an overheating
:15:54. > :15:58.gearbox. It could be a synchronisation issue.
:15:58. > :16:05.There is a seamless shift, thankfully for Sebastian Vettel
:16:05. > :16:09.they only use the second gear on two places on the track, turn eight
:16:09. > :16:17.and turn 10. The gap there, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber,
:16:17. > :16:21.the gap is reducing. Sebastian Vettel went a little bit wide, in a
:16:21. > :16:27.pine tree corner. Presumably, he might have been listening to the
:16:27. > :16:32.radio. A I don't remember ever going faster whilst listening to 18
:16:32. > :16:36.radio, never affected my lap time. Somehow when the radius box open
:16:36. > :16:40.and you start listening to the Engineer, it does take away a bit
:16:40. > :16:47.of concentration. You don't slowdown on the road when you were
:16:48. > :16:57.listening to Cliff Richard? You are driving at 70 mph.
:16:58. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:05.This is Buemi, Alguersuari, 13. This is Adrian Sutil making his way
:17:05. > :17:10.through the pack, having just gone in for a pit-stop. Does that
:17:10. > :17:14.suggest three stops? The briefing this morning, they were suggesting
:17:14. > :17:22.three is too slow. You said it at the beginning of the show. It seems
:17:22. > :17:28.the tyres are giving up earlier than they thought.
:17:28. > :17:32.McLaren boys out, Jenson Button is coming in. The briefing was, expect
:17:32. > :17:40.two, the reality is looks like they are on for three stops this
:17:40. > :17:44.afternoon. Not a lot of degradation between the hard and soft tyre.
:17:44. > :17:49.they just overheating or blistering? At this stage of the
:17:49. > :17:53.race, we heard a radio message, saying that right rear blisters. He
:17:53. > :17:57.ran on Friday with a lot of blistering. Providing it does not
:17:57. > :18:02.take away the surface, the carcass remains intact, they can run
:18:02. > :18:08.happily. Jenson Button comes out in front of
:18:08. > :18:12.Paul di Resta after that pit stop. You can see the chi is -- the ties
:18:12. > :18:21.that came off. There is a small circumference, line of blisters,
:18:21. > :18:27.not too bad. I fancy that was to try and get past the Ferrari.
:18:27. > :18:37.What sort of size of the blisters? 5p, 10 pence? Half a centimetre,
:18:37. > :18:37.
:18:37. > :18:43.tiny, not very big at all. RADIO: Q sure shift, second and third gear.
:18:43. > :18:50.Second and third gear? Her I think it is an overheating thing. Alonso
:18:50. > :18:59.and Hamilton pit. End of lap 16. A straight fight between Ferrari and
:18:59. > :19:09.McLaren. About the same pit stop time. We will see any moment now.
:19:09. > :19:12.
:19:12. > :19:18.It is taking about 19 seconds in total on a good stop. There is a
:19:18. > :19:25.long so, where his Jenson Button? Where is Hamilton? -- there is
:19:25. > :19:33.Alonso. Note changes. -- there are no changes after that round of pit
:19:33. > :19:38.stops. A tidy stop for Mercedes. Explain
:19:38. > :19:41.this to me, we meet with senior engineers in the morning, they give
:19:41. > :19:45.us the benefit of their experience through Friday and Saturday
:19:45. > :19:55.practice. The Red Bull crew are coming out, what is before
:19:55. > :20:01.Sebastian Vettel? I think it is. people waiting for him. Pretty
:20:01. > :20:05.scary, driving at a garage of men at 60 mph. That looked quick.
:20:05. > :20:08.he has to use his first gear in the pit lane. He will have to short
:20:08. > :20:15.shift three second and third when he get out of the end of the pit
:20:15. > :20:22.lane. Is it a heating issue? If you go into third in the pit lane,
:20:22. > :20:27.often you can drop out your limiter and take off and get a penalty. Ted
:20:27. > :20:35.Kravitz was looking at Sebastian Vettel's tyres. They were about the
:20:35. > :20:39.same. Slightly less blisters, fewer blisters than the McLaren. Also, he
:20:39. > :20:44.overshot his pit box by about 10 centimetres seven are carried had
:20:44. > :20:51.to shift up a bit. That could prove crucial. A very small gap to Mark
:20:51. > :20:58.Webber, he has stayed out so this could be Mark Webber's opportunity.
:20:58. > :21:07.Bruno Senna, he has a penalty. The stewards have decided it was his
:21:08. > :21:12.fault for causing a collision. Pretty tough. That is a bit unfair.
:21:12. > :21:18.Red Bull are out in the pit lane. Mark Webber will be in at this lap.
:21:18. > :21:28.They got far more camera angles that we have got. They have got G

:21:33. > :21:38.Ps, can compare previous laps. -- G behind Sebastian Vettel. Looks like
:21:38. > :21:41.he has lost time, must have got some traffic on his in lap.
:21:42. > :21:45.Sebastian Vettel coming through, Mark Webber was just over one
:21:45. > :21:51.second when he went in for the stop. That looks like a much bigger gap
:21:51. > :22:01.now. This is Sebastian Vettel catching Massa, he is still yet to

:22:04. > :22:12.Pearce. -- be it. -- he is still yet to go into the pits. He will
:22:12. > :22:17.know if he gets anywhere round, he can open his rear wing. It seems to
:22:17. > :22:24.be quite late, a perfect run down the outside into the braking zone.
:22:24. > :22:30.Massa got out of it, he will be on a dirty part of the track.

:22:46. > :22:50.through turn three without being on opposite lock and threatening

:29:34. > :29:38.
:29:38. > :29:45.that. Timor orders are allowed in Formula One now. -- Timor orders.
:29:45. > :29:52.Mark Webber leads the concrete. -- the Grand Prix. Can he take his
:29:52. > :30:02.first victory of the season? McLaren now, out with the harder

:30:03. > :30:08.tyre for Jenson Button of. It is the slower tyre. Maybe half a
:30:08. > :30:11.second a lap slower. Maybe he is just getting this out of the way at
:30:11. > :30:16.this stage of the race. Though Jensen did say it only in the
:30:16. > :30:26.weekend that he was happier with the balance would this harder tyre.
:30:26. > :30:29.But lap time is king. It is easy to make a fool of yourself in this pit

:30:37. > :30:43.easy to crash. Barton is behind Felipe Massa having made that stop.
:30:43. > :30:49.-- Barton. We watched eagerly to see what kind of lap times Jenson
:30:49. > :30:59.Button cannot extract from this brand new set of tyres. -- can
:30:59. > :31:08.
:31:08. > :31:12.extract. Soft tyres, a different strategy for Hamilton. That is why
:31:12. > :31:16.you can crash so easily. You have to get through a difficult left,
:31:16. > :31:25.down the hill, a right and a long left, then straight into the side
:31:25. > :31:32.of any body. He is behind Button still. But he is on a different
:31:32. > :31:42.tyre. This will be very interesting. McLaren have split their strategy.
:31:42. > :31:44.
:31:44. > :31:50.Alonso pits. These men are waiting for their hero, Fernando Alonso.
:31:50. > :32:00.The softer tyres. He will have to stop again this afternoon. The same
:32:00. > :32:03.
:32:03. > :32:08.for Hamilton. Button will not have to stop. But will he want to?
:32:08. > :32:18.nine is the corner that comes up and monks see you as you come out
:32:18. > :32:26.
:32:26. > :32:36.of turn eight. That is the corner where he's done -- he spun. Sergio
:32:36. > :32:45.
:32:45. > :32:54.Perez was running 12. He is down in 14th. Sutil has had two stops. It
:32:54. > :32:58.is game played by the Force India team. We can see in the data that
:32:58. > :33:05.we have a gearbox problem. There is nothing you can do out there to
:33:05. > :33:14.help. Just keep driving, keep going. They have all the fashion today.
:33:14. > :33:23.never rains but it pours. Lewis Hamilton also nursing a box of cogs
:33:23. > :33:32.that do not really fancy 71 laps of the Interlagos circuit. Vettel is
:33:33. > :33:42.maintaining the gap at 2.6 seconds. Alonso has just done his fastest
:33:42. > :33:51.lap of the race. Button, as we suggested earlier on, has not
:33:51. > :33:57.caught Felipe Massa. His Button lining up for a pass on the
:33:57. > :34:07.Ferrari? It does not look like it at this stage. He is certainly
:34:07. > :34:07.
:34:08. > :34:15.hounding Felipe Massa. He has only done one stop, of course. Felipe
:34:15. > :34:22.Massa is up three places having had a one stop. Jensen has used both
:34:22. > :34:26.kinds of tyre, which she has to under the regulations. Mark Webber
:34:26. > :34:36.pits. They put on another set of soft tyres, so we will have to stop
:34:36. > :34:38.
:34:38. > :34:48.again. It is the restocks for Mark Webber. -- Three stops. Jensen is
:34:48. > :34:58.
:34:58. > :35:08.on a different strategy compared to Hamilton and Mark Webber. Rubens
:35:08. > :35:08.
:35:08. > :35:16.Barrichello has been lapped down in 15th. Jenson Button sales down the
:35:16. > :35:22.upside with his real winger opened. Job done and off he goes. An easy
:35:22. > :35:28.pass. He will have enjoyed that, having not enjoyed Alonso going
:35:28. > :35:35.round the outside of him in turn six. Metal beads. He is going to
:35:35. > :35:44.pit stop. It is so nice to see the pit lane from the commentary box.
:35:44. > :35:53.It is essential indeed. That sounded like it did not want to go
:35:53. > :36:00.into neutral. The same strategy as Mark Webber, Hamilton and Alonso.
:36:00. > :36:05.Where is Mark Webber? He is well in the lead. They are on a three
:36:06. > :36:12.stopper strategy this afternoon. We expect them to come in Again around
:36:12. > :36:16.lap 54. Anything in that region. Maybe even later if they can make
:36:16. > :36:22.these tyres last and give themselves the shortest run
:36:22. > :36:26.possible on the harder tyres. It is not holding Jenson Button back. He
:36:26. > :36:36.is comparing very favourably with the Felipe Massa. Now has more to
:36:36. > :36:38.
:36:39. > :36:44.it is catching Felipe Massa as well. -- Hamilton is catching. Felipe
:36:44. > :36:51.Massa must have had a problem of turn three. Jensen was out of the
:36:51. > :36:58.slipstream so early bus-stop he must have lifted. Must have scared
:36:58. > :37:04.himself around there. As you say, Dr rest does not account for all of
:37:04. > :37:08.that extra speed. These two have come together five times this year.
:37:08. > :37:12.Do you think Lewis will give him a slightly wider berth. A I don't
:37:12. > :37:18.think so. This is clearly struggling a little bit with the
:37:18. > :37:25.balance of the car around this track -- Lewis Hamilton is
:37:25. > :37:29.struggling. Crucially, he is not getting close enough at the end of
:37:30. > :37:39.the lap to put himself in a position to capitalise in turn up
:37:40. > :37:46.
:37:46. > :37:51.for. -- Turn four. He is just too far back. The car is winding up on
:37:51. > :37:58.the exit of turn three. Losing so much speed. He is probably having
:37:58. > :38:06.to lift in turn three, where Hamilton can stay flat. He does not
:38:06. > :38:10.have the issue in turn 12, which is more than exhilaration corner. --
:38:10. > :38:20.of an acceleration corner. Ferrari strategy is all about
:38:20. > :38:29.
:38:29. > :38:36.beating McLaren, rather than trying to win the race. Quite sensibly so.
:38:36. > :38:41.Maybe the opportunity that Lewis is waiting for. Felipe Massa gets a
:38:41. > :38:46.psychological gold star on his star chart from his Engineer. McLaren
:38:46. > :38:52.and in the pit lane. They are fed up by losing time behind the
:38:52. > :38:58.Ferrari. They have lost 7.5 seconds to Button. They were quite close,
:38:58. > :39:03.if you remember. On the go at the medium compound tyres. He can now
:39:03. > :39:07.drive to the end of the Grand Prix. They have obviously seen a nice
:39:07. > :39:17.slop they can put Louis back into on the racetrack, where he will not
:39:17. > :39:18.
:39:18. > :39:25.get too much traffic -- put Hamilton back on to the racetrack.
:39:25. > :39:31.Sutil is now ahead of Hamilton. They must have a bigger issue that
:39:31. > :39:39.we are not aware rub. That is very early to do the third stop and try
:39:39. > :39:46.to go to the end on the hard tyres. Could we see a 4th stop? We are
:39:46. > :39:55.watching Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel trading fastest laps.
:39:55. > :40:01.interesting thing for me is the fight we have for 6th, 7th and 8.
:40:01. > :40:07.As it stands, Adrian Sutil is absolutely lighting up the midfield.
:40:07. > :40:11.He is now in 7th position and he needs three more points, or
:40:11. > :40:16.certainly two over Petrov, to finish 9th in the championship,
:40:16. > :40:23.which would be a huge result for that team and massive going into
:40:23. > :40:29.next season. Felipe Massa has got the medium compound tyres. Another
:40:29. > :40:36.man driving to the end of the race. Michael Schumacher is hunting down
:40:36. > :40:42.Heikki Kovalainen. Felipe Massa, just in front of your Lewis
:40:42. > :40:48.Hamilton. McLaren did not manage to use the new tyres to get in front
:40:48. > :40:52.of Felipe Massa. The longer you keep him behind you, the greater
:40:52. > :40:58.chance of beating him bus-stop they have certainly got a great chance
:40:58. > :41:01.of beating him now. We have a serious gearbox problem. Do
:41:02. > :41:07.everything you can do safety car. The objective is to stay in front
:41:08. > :41:17.of Alonso. He is getting fat called because he just did his fastest lap
:41:18. > :41:22.
:41:22. > :41:29.of the Grand Prix. -- getting that call. It is the same message that
:41:29. > :41:34.he has been told a few times. It would be nice to be a bit more
:41:34. > :41:39.specific. It is all fine and well saying short shrift, but they have
:41:39. > :41:46.a light display it in there. Like a Christmas tree. They also have
:41:46. > :41:51.audio, which largely the drivers to change when they hear the beat.
:41:51. > :42:01.Hamilton is going to park the car. We heard about a gearbox problem at
:42:01. > :42:06.
:42:06. > :42:11.Deauville on for Lewis Hamilton. -- Early up on. The gearbox has gone.
:42:11. > :42:21.He has to find a sensible place to park this, because he is not going
:42:21. > :42:26.to make it back to the pit stop. He is aiming for an orange marker.
:42:26. > :42:36.closest I have ever come to dying was on that corner driving for
:42:36. > :42:37.
:42:37. > :42:44.McLaren. My car broke down in that piece of track. Another car came
:42:44. > :42:47.flying over my head and hit my head. Is that when you went on to the
:42:47. > :42:52.radio and said you were unconscious? That is another
:42:52. > :43:02.English driver you are thinking about! Hamilton becomes the third
:43:02. > :43:09.
:43:09. > :43:14.retirement. Oh, dear. Forsberg just steams up the inside. Fantastic
:43:14. > :43:19.stuff. That is a clever boy. Someone who knows this racetrack.
:43:19. > :43:24.It is a very long run into that apex. Although Sutil clearly had
:43:24. > :43:31.the track position on the outside, I think we have seen Rosberg do
:43:32. > :43:38.that before. He is fighting well for that position. That is the
:43:38. > :43:48.battle for 6 and 7th. I fear his defence is going to be futile. It
:43:48. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:54.is a different strategy. Rosberg has only done two stops. I think
:43:54. > :43:59.Sutil thought he had got the job done. Then Rosberg came back
:43:59. > :44:05.through. That was good stuff. Great driving from both of them. Nico
:44:05. > :44:09.Rosberg, the last couple of races, since he signed his contract, has
:44:09. > :44:14.been really aggressive, which is exactly what the Mercedes team will
:44:14. > :44:24.want to see. He showed Michael Schumacher what he thought of his
:44:24. > :44:33.
:44:33. > :44:40.will go right, of course. Got a little fright on his way past. Good
:44:40. > :44:50.straight line speed from the Force India. McLaren are in the pit lane.
:44:50. > :44:50.
:44:50. > :44:56.Button in. That has got all hallmarks of a team that were not
:44:56. > :45:03.expecting a driver. Gone on the hard tyres again, we thought he
:45:03. > :45:11.might get to the end. For Nando Alonso in the pit lane. -- Fernando
:45:11. > :45:15.Alonso. Lewis is back in the pits. Lee
:45:15. > :45:22.McKenzie has found him. disappointing end to a difficult
:45:22. > :45:28.season. An interesting year. A today I give it my all, I felt like
:45:28. > :45:33.I enjoyed the race. A little bit unfortunate for us and the team we
:45:33. > :45:37.were not able to get the extra points. But I enjoyed racing out
:45:37. > :45:42.there, challenging Felipe Massa at the end, it was hoping I would get
:45:42. > :45:50.him but the gearbox problem came on quite early so I was struggling.
:45:50. > :45:54.Mark Webber is coming in for his final stop. The hard tyres go on.
:45:54. > :45:58.Excellent stop by the Red Bull guys. How much will it mean for the
:45:58. > :46:06.Australian after this season he has had getting well and truly beaten
:46:06. > :46:12.by Sebastian Vettel to get a win he has so craved? The Red Bull
:46:12. > :46:22.mechanics coming out again, for Sebastian Vettel, for his third and
:46:22. > :46:23.
:46:23. > :46:27.final stop. There he is. Into the box. This could be the final pit-
:46:27. > :46:35.stop of the year for the Red Bull team. They have achieved everything
:46:35. > :46:43.they need to this afternoon. Lap 60. Mark Webber will retake the lead
:46:43. > :46:48.again. Already half way down the back straight. Lewis watches on,
:46:48. > :46:53.sadly. 5th in the world championship. His reward for a
:46:53. > :47:00.season with many highs and lows. Look how close it is between Jenson
:47:00. > :47:06.Button and Fernando Alonso. Button beautifully in the slipstream. Will
:47:06. > :47:10.he get a chance? Alonso thinks he might. He has gone defensive.
:47:10. > :47:16.Batten down the outside. Alonso release is the brake pedal to
:47:16. > :47:21.reclaim the corner. He will be so much faster. Patten will be so much
:47:21. > :47:26.faster after turn 3, the DRS will open now. Jenson Button should have
:47:26. > :47:32.mile straight-line speed. He has got the job done. Up into third
:47:32. > :47:41.place, a brilliant driving. The McLaren team thoroughly enjoyed
:47:41. > :47:45.that. So they should. Jenson Button, third. A replay of him right up
:47:45. > :47:55.under the slipstream as he comes off turn three. Alonso goes
:47:55. > :48:02.defensive. Pop open that DRS, release the drag from the car.
:48:02. > :48:07.That move really started in turn one. He had to go defensive, slow
:48:07. > :48:13.through two and three and passes and finally. On the clean side of
:48:13. > :48:23.the racetrack. As we watch Mark Webber, as Sebastian Vettel,
:48:23. > :48:27.
:48:27. > :48:33.running wide in 105. -- in turn 5. 11.6 seconds ahead. Mark Webber.
:48:33. > :48:41.The quickest lap, Mark, we don't need any more. He loves to take
:48:41. > :48:50.this tokens away from his team-mate. He would be determined. Just gone a
:48:50. > :48:55.bit faster. He did another one. Into the final lap. Mark Webber, 35
:48:55. > :49:01.years old. The Australian who has had a difficult season, just
:49:01. > :49:06.watched his team mate clean-up, finally is going to get his reward.
:49:06. > :49:09.It will still only put him 4th in the world championship, two point
:49:09. > :49:19.behind Fernando Alonso, but I don't think he will care when a little
:49:19. > :49:26.bit about that. -- one little bit. Two more corners to go before the
:49:26. > :49:32.final left-hand corner to climb the hill. Mark Webber is had been for
:49:32. > :49:38.his 7th from prix victory. -- heading for. He has been a loyal
:49:38. > :49:42.servant to read all. They have very much to return at favour today --
:49:42. > :49:49.Red Bull. His car has run faultlessly. He has made the most
:49:49. > :49:56.of it. He heads to the line. Mark Webber wins the Brazilian Cornbury
:49:56. > :50:00.comfortably as it turns out -- Grand Prix. He can head into the
:50:00. > :50:06.winter with some satisfaction, self-belief, and get on with his
:50:06. > :50:13.programme. Sebastian Vettel in second place, despite nursing at
:50:13. > :50:19.that gearbox problem pretty much for the entire race. Jenson Button
:50:19. > :50:26.in third place. 10.6 seconds behind Sebastiaan Vettel as the coasts
:50:26. > :50:31.across the line. Alonso and Philippe a master, fourth and 5th -
:50:31. > :50:41.- Felipe Massa. Because they were lapped Adrian Sutil is already sick,
:50:41. > :50:45.
:50:45. > :50:55.was their 7th. Kobayashi is 9th. RADIO: Stop the car at 101. -- turn
:50:55. > :50:55.
:50:55. > :51:00.one. Presumably for fuel. Mark Webber finally gets a victory in
:51:00. > :51:04.this 19 race season. It has been tough, exciting, great working with
:51:04. > :51:14.you David in the commentary box, thoroughly enjoyed that. Mark
:51:14. > :51:17.
:51:17. > :51:22.Webber is certainly going to enjoy victory for Red Bull. They were
:51:22. > :51:32.dominant, nobody was getting near them. Jenson Button was the closest,
:51:32. > :51:39.
:51:39. > :51:49.that has been the season -- story at the very last moment Mark
:51:49. > :52:02.
:52:02. > :52:05.Welbeck lip -- jumped above points. Very happy with that. The
:52:05. > :52:15.Constructors' Championship ends like it starts with Renault holding
:52:15. > :52:22.
:52:22. > :52:26.important to them giving them money for the next season. Let's look
:52:26. > :52:32.back and relive some of the best moments. What did the drivers make
:52:32. > :52:37.of today? Great in the car, great to finish with, three fastest laps.
:52:37. > :52:44.The feeling with the car, it hasn't been the greatest but to finish on
:52:44. > :52:54.a high like that, it was nice. The team have worked incredibly hard.
:52:54. > :52:55.
:52:55. > :52:59.A phenomenal season, everybody in Red Bull can be very proud. A
:52:59. > :53:05.season where we will look back to and say, great to be part of that
:53:05. > :53:10.and to have been part of that. We just haven't had the outright
:53:10. > :53:18.pace to fight rebel. Fair play to them, a great job, congratulations
:53:18. > :53:22.-- to fight Red Bull. They have been dominant. We have got to start
:53:22. > :53:28.the season stronger, something we have to do next year. We will make
:53:28. > :53:33.it hard for them in 2012. It has been a good year, along year,
:53:33. > :53:36.disappointed it is over but a well deserved rest for everybody,
:53:36. > :53:40.recharge their batteries, spend time with their families and come
:53:40. > :53:44.back fighting. I want to say thank you to them all, it has been a
:53:44. > :53:50.great year, an ambition to drawing up Formula One and you cannot
:53:50. > :53:57.believe how happy and. -- to drive a Formula One.
:53:57. > :54:02.We look ahead to 2012. These cars are already defunct.
:54:02. > :54:06.They have provided success for the teams will go into museums. The
:54:06. > :54:12.others will probably get crushed. An incredible journey.
:54:12. > :54:16.We have really enjoyed ourselves. The season belongs to only one man,
:54:16. > :54:20.Sebastian Vettel, and Red Bull. They have set the mark and the job
:54:20. > :54:24.next year for everybody is to match Despite him winning the
:54:24. > :54:29.championship, we still had Fernando Alonso as the benchmark, the most
:54:29. > :54:34.recent double world champion. We have changed that order. Sebastian
:54:34. > :54:38.Vettel is the new benchmark. Came off the back of winning that first
:54:39. > :54:43.title. He has just been incredible. In qualifying, race performances
:54:43. > :54:47.and set a high bar. I will tell you the name, you
:54:47. > :54:54.review their season put up the Curran.
:54:54. > :55:00.Must try harder -- McLaren. A very average start of the year. Six
:55:00. > :55:04.victories. They struggled not just with development but with the
:55:04. > :55:08.drivers. Jenson Button seemed to grow in confidence. Lewis Hamilton
:55:08. > :55:12.seemed to lose his way. Ferrari.
:55:12. > :55:17.We expect more. They have been part of the world championships is the
:55:17. > :55:21.very beginning. One victory at Silverstone. Based showed signs,
:55:21. > :55:26.just need to find a bit more and everything will change. They are
:55:26. > :55:30.close enough to be contenders next year.
:55:30. > :55:34.Mercedes will want more next year, a Renault, started strongly and
:55:34. > :55:39.disappeared. Force India, Sauber, Toro Rosso. The midfield was
:55:39. > :55:42.exciting. A lot more strength and depth than
:55:42. > :55:50.we have previously seen. Any one of those teams could break out into
:55:50. > :55:53.the big league. The most likely his Mercedes. They have the winning DNA.
