:08:21. > :08:31.flying. Up to 6th place already. The crowd will be enjoying that.
:08:31. > :08:40.
:08:41. > :08:47.Making demands. Sebastian Vettel, let's have a look at that start. In
:08:47. > :08:55.the secondary phase of the start he just got so much more traction.
:08:55. > :09:02.Then they all filter through behind, no contact. We have the Ferrari
:09:02. > :09:12.looking down the inside. We go on board with Sebastian Vettel. The
:09:12. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :09:35.perfect start. It hooks up and off he goes. They would be using KERS
:09:35. > :09:35.
:09:36. > :09:45.of course. Let's take a look at Lewis Hamilton. Looking to put
:09:46. > :09:47.
:09:47. > :09:52.himself on the inside for that corner. Struggling for traction.
:09:52. > :10:02.And every play there, Hamilton taking Jensen Button McFall the 5th
:10:02. > :10:02.
:10:02. > :10:08.place. Massa had already gone through. You're doing a fantastic
:10:08. > :10:17.job, next up is Massa. encouragement for Lewis Hamilton
:10:17. > :10:27.from his Engineer. That tells us a little about how delicate the they
:10:27. > :10:30.
:10:30. > :10:38.think they have to treat Lewis Hamilton when he is in the car.
:10:38. > :10:48.Lewis Hamilton has gone wide on the entrance to Brecklands corner.
:10:48. > :10:55.
:10:55. > :11:05.took a little too much speed into that corner. Lost a lot of ground.
:11:05. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:16.It is difficult in these conditions. Here we have a replay. He locks up
:11:16. > :11:26.that front left. Thankfully for Lewis Hamilton it is a newly tarmac
:11:26. > :11:29.
:11:29. > :11:34.airier. Jensen Button is not happy on these tyres. He has worn out his
:11:34. > :11:43.intermediate tyres already and they are ready in a set of the slick
:11:43. > :11:50.tyres. So he could be the first to go off. But we are always saying
:11:50. > :11:58.that Jensen Button is the kindest on those Dyers. Do you have a
:11:58. > :12:08.feeling how long it is going to be until we put the dry tyres on quiz
:12:08. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:19.me --? We have Fernando Alonso right up behind Mark Webber. Trying
:12:19. > :12:27.
:12:27. > :12:37.to position the car. And Kobayashi weekend with all their trials and
:12:37. > :12:45.
:12:45. > :12:52.tribulations. Lewis Hamilton on the back of Massa. Good news for the
:12:52. > :13:02.British fans in that Lewis Hamilton in that last lap was able to equal
:13:02. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:21.the lap time of Sebastian Vettel. Michael Schumacher and is in for a
:13:21. > :13:31.set of the soft tyres. And Mark Webber, Hamilton and Massa go to
:13:31. > :13:40.
:13:40. > :13:50.look for any moisture. Massa taking the long way round to get better
:13:50. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :13:58.traction. And Lewis Hamilton has to duck into his slip Stream. Lewis
:13:58. > :14:04.Hamilton getting very impatient. Challenging conditions at
:14:04. > :14:14.Silverstone for the British Grand Prix. Massa desperately trying to
:14:14. > :14:24.keep the Ferrari on the black stuff. And Alonso just slips slightly back
:14:24. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:33.from Mark Webber. Going very wide there on the entry to that corner.
:14:33. > :14:41.And here is a replay of that incident between Schumacher and
:14:41. > :14:51.Kobayashi. He did not expect Kobayashi to come back on to the
:14:51. > :15:01.racing line. No question that that is a misjudgment from Michael. They
:15:01. > :15:02.
:15:02. > :15:08.have done a few of those knows and Kamui Kobayashi have been in
:15:08. > :15:13.the pits. He is two seconds down in the middle sector, Michael
:15:13. > :15:19.Schumacher. It looks as though Michael Schumacher is losing time,
:15:19. > :15:27.but he is quickest in the first and last sectors. You have got Jenson
:15:27. > :15:35.Button on new slick tyres, as is Felipe Massa,... No, he is still on
:15:35. > :15:45.the old tyres. He has got no grip! He has got no grip. He will have
:15:45. > :15:45.
:15:45. > :15:49.Tippett. He can barely drive it. Lewis Hamilton, the tyres have
:15:49. > :15:58.finished, and Michael Schumacher gets the fastest lap of the race,
:15:58. > :16:08.1:49.0. Lewis Hamilton going down the outside of Felipe Massa, but he
:16:08. > :16:14.
:16:14. > :16:24.They will be following each other into the pit lane. This will be a

:16:41. > :16:51.Hamilton is coming down the pit lane. That might get in the way of
:16:51. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:58.Fernando Alonso. Mark Webber should have been well out of his box.
:16:58. > :17:06.has been in? Not the leader. Sebastian Vettel had a 6.3 second
:17:06. > :17:16.lead. Surely, Sebastian Vettel will now be the man who will be next in
:17:16. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:29.the pits. Felipe Massa had to stay out. Fernando Alonso was pitting.
:17:29. > :17:29.
:17:29. > :17:39.An unsafe release. He has caught someone else's all-wheel done. --
:17:39. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:50.wheel gun., it was just a slow getaway, wasn't it? It will be
:17:50. > :17:56.looked at by the stewards. Everybody but Felipe Massa and
:17:56. > :18:02.Sebastian Vettel have pitted. Daniel Ricciardo has not stopped
:18:02. > :18:10.yet. Jarno Trulli has stop somewhere. Sebastian Vettel pits
:18:10. > :18:15.from the leader. Mark Webber has pulled a lot of time out. Fernando
:18:15. > :18:24.Alonso was held up. Lewis Hamilton has been released ahead of Felipe
:18:24. > :18:32.Massa. The front tyres did not look too bad. He thinks his way around a
:18:32. > :18:37.racetrack. He is so kind to the car, while being so fast. He is setting
:18:37. > :18:45.the benchmark for Formula One right now. He has the best car in the
:18:45. > :18:51.field, and he is making best use of it. In the fastest lap, Jenson
:18:51. > :18:59.Button, 1:46.0. He likes these conditions, he won the Canadian
:18:59. > :19:06.Grand Prix in exactly these kind of changeable conditions. There is an
:19:06. > :19:16.investigation for an unsafe pit- stop grimace. -- release. There
:19:16. > :19:17.
:19:17. > :19:27.will be a penalty for Kamui Kobayashi. Jenson Button has done
:19:27. > :19:36.
:19:36. > :19:40.one already, he knows exactly what Woodcote. It is just too fast, too
:19:40. > :19:47.wet off-line. This is costing Jenson Button time. It has got to
:19:47. > :19:57.make sure he is well positioned for the run-down Hangar Straight. Take
:19:57. > :20:05.advantage of the heat in his tyres. He will have to go off the try-line.
:20:05. > :20:15.-- try-line. Lewis Hamilton on the back of Fernando Alonso. Jenson
:20:15. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:26.Button, can he handed around? -- hang it around? Jenson Button gets
:20:26. > :20:34.to the apex, and he goes through Club corner. He is coming back into
:20:34. > :20:39.the race after the awful first Stent. That reminds me of Nigel
:20:39. > :20:45.Mansell, brave stuff. He goes to the outside, he uses the momentum
:20:45. > :20:55.of the slipstream. At this point, too would have expected him to back
:20:55. > :21:05.out, but he keeps his full turn. -- he keeps his foot in. Fernando
:21:05. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:17.Alonso comes under pressure from will recognise that any time since.
:21:17. > :21:22.This is the view of Lewis Hamilton from Fernando Alonso. Michael
:21:22. > :21:28.Schumacher has the penalty for causing a collision. They do not
:21:28. > :21:32.see it as a racing incident. We wait to hear what they will do
:21:32. > :21:38.about Kamui Kobayashi's pit stop. Lewis Hamilton is answering the
:21:38. > :21:48.critics. A lot of frustration in the last few races. He has moved up
:21:48. > :21:55.to third place, a fantastic move. He goes on the inside line, look at
:21:55. > :21:59.the spray. That is the periphery we are used to with Lewis Hamilton. --
:21:59. > :22:05.that is the bravery. We are in the middle of a wonderful Grand Prix,
:22:05. > :22:12.plenty of action to come. RADIO: What would you do with the front
:22:12. > :22:22.wing? A little bit more. He is having a bit of understeer. How
:22:22. > :22:29.much is a little bit? A quarter of a degree? One twist, I guess.
:22:29. > :22:37.Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton defending. Fernando
:22:37. > :22:42.Alonso will get a better drive through Club. They are not the best
:22:42. > :22:46.of friends after they year as team- mates and McLaren. Fernando Alonso
:22:46. > :22:53.is not thinking about that, he is thinking he can win the Grand Prix,
:22:53. > :23:02.he is the fastest man. Lewis Hamilton coming under increasing
:23:02. > :23:09.pressure from the Ferrari. I think we are about to see a pass from the
:23:09. > :23:19.Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton wiggled, then gave up the position, because
:23:19. > :23:23.
:23:23. > :23:33.he could not go to the inside. the real wind zone, it has a new
:23:33. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:40.meaning when there is only one try line. -- rear wing zone. Fernando
:23:40. > :23:47.Alonso retakes third place in the Grand Prix. Let's see what he can
:23:47. > :23:57.do with Mark Webber. P of picking up plumes of spray. Sebastian
:23:57. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:23.McLaren are getting ready. Lewis Hamilton. He comes into the pits,
:24:23. > :24:25.
:24:25. > :24:33.deciding he does not like these things. They only travelled 11 laps.
:24:33. > :24:41.Presumably they will put another set of soft tyres on. None of the
:24:41. > :24:47.top 10 had a bright new set of soft tyres available. Presumably, he
:24:47. > :24:54.will absolutely fly. Fernando Alonso makes a new fastest lap of
:24:54. > :25:03.the race. He is just seven seconds off the lead. Paul di Resta pits
:25:03. > :25:13.for Force India. The overheating engine of Kamui Kobayashi. I wonder
:25:13. > :25:13.
:25:13. > :25:18.if he was damaged in the pit stop incident. He ran into a heavy think.
:25:18. > :25:22.And, he had the incident with Michael Schumacher. This will be
:25:22. > :25:32.interesting to see how much faster Lewis Hamilton will be. This will
:25:32. > :25:40.
:25:40. > :25:48.be valuable information to Red Bull get out there, and make quiet, fast
:25:48. > :25:58.laps. He does not like to come into the pits very often. He does a fine
:25:58. > :25:58.
:25:58. > :26:03.job. Fernando Alonso, 38.4. Red Bull, 1:38.8. Fernando Alonso is
:26:04. > :26:10.still the man on the move. 6.7 seconds behind the leader. He is on
:26:10. > :26:16.fire. Paul di Resta comes in for a pit-stop. They are having to bring
:26:16. > :26:23.another set of tyres. I wonder if they were Adrian Sutil's tyres.
:26:23. > :26:31.This has ruined his race. Jenson Button and Felipe Massa coming in
:26:31. > :26:41.as well. Fernando Alonso still has loads of grip left. That is very
:26:41. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:59.stop one more time. This will be fascinating, the last few laps of
:26:59. > :27:05.this race. Who pits one, and how long they can stretch. The lap
:27:05. > :27:15.times at the moment are some way down on what we saw last year. We
:27:15. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:30.have got a delaminated tyre. complex. You have to go about
:27:30. > :27:34.walking pace. That is the first part of Becketts. We have got Paul
:27:34. > :27:43.di Resta looking to the inside. Sebastien bore any comes across.
:27:43. > :27:52.There is compact. -- Sebastien Buemi. It has ripped the left rear
:27:52. > :28:02.of Sebastien bonnet. -- Sebastien Buemi. Fernando Alonso follows the
:28:02. > :28:07.
:28:07. > :28:13.leader in. Sebastien Buemi's car will be in shreds. Red Bull, the
:28:13. > :28:23.left rear has not gone on. Sebastian Vettel has some serious
:28:23. > :28:26.
:28:26. > :28:31.work to do now. Lewis Hamilton is through. Lewis Hamilton flying.
:28:31. > :28:35.Fernando Alonso leads from Lewis Hamilton. Suddenly, Red Bull back
:28:35. > :28:42.in third and fourth place. Ted Kravitz? The mechanics of having a
:28:42. > :28:49.look at the wheel nut. Time was ticking away, they were trying to
:28:49. > :28:57.sort out the cross the road. This is brilliant! We are going to have
:28:57. > :29:01.a great race! Fernando Alonso was the fastest man. I would have loved
:29:01. > :29:08.to have seen Fernando Alonso behind Sebastian Vettel and having a go.
:29:08. > :29:12.He had the pace. But this was just a straightforward pit-stop past.
:29:12. > :29:22.have seen Sebastian Vettel when so many races by just about going fast
:29:22. > :29:22.
:29:22. > :29:32.enough. I wonder what Fernando Alonso can do. Sebastien Buemi has
:29:32. > :29:42.
:29:42. > :29:49.decided to call it a day, and I Hamilton has the benefit of having
:29:49. > :29:59.got up to speed. If he can keep that window all the way round, he
:29:59. > :30:04.
:30:04. > :30:14.will get the DRS activation. Whistle or Alonso getting that
:30:14. > :30:33.
:30:34. > :30:43.servers of the DRS. He has been out longer on those tyres. Jensen
:30:44. > :30:45.
:30:45. > :30:50.Button just 8.5 seconds off the lead. There is the world
:30:50. > :31:00.Championship leader. He said he did not know how many points he was
:31:00. > :31:02.
:31:02. > :31:12.ahead but of course he knows exactly. Sebastian Vettel with the
:31:12. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:25.rear wing wide open. That only gets in close at two Hamilton. Sebastian
:31:25. > :31:29.Vettel right in the slipstream. Just behind the McLaren and
:31:29. > :31:39.Hamilton recognised that, moved over just to cut him off a little
:31:39. > :31:48.bit. He has got to beat a little bit careful that he does not do too
:31:48. > :31:58.many moves, not too much change of direction. Fernando Alonso out in
:31:58. > :31:58.
:31:58. > :32:08.front. 6.8 seconds clear of Hamilton. Building a healthy eat. -
:32:08. > :32:16.
:32:16. > :32:21.- a healthy lead. Michael Schumacher is pretty fast as well.
:32:21. > :32:29.Out on the wet grass, you do not like that feeling! This time he is
:32:29. > :32:35.much closer, Hamilton having to go on the outside. Sebastian Vettel
:32:35. > :32:43.thinks better of it and again loses a lot of time. Yours Hamilton does
:32:43. > :32:50.not want that Red Bull in front of him. -- Lewis Hamilton. It is so
:32:50. > :32:54.interesting, the pace of the Red Bull through that complex. It
:32:54. > :33:04.suggests that the Red Bull has better low-speed performance than
:33:04. > :33:09.
:33:09. > :33:19.the McLaren. Sebastian Vettel is into the pit. That will leave him
:33:19. > :33:24.
:33:24. > :33:31.15 laps to do to the end of the race. They are putting on his final
:33:31. > :33:39.set of the soft tyres. That is quite Strategic. He needs a clean
:33:39. > :33:49.pair. He is being held up behind that McLaren. They need to try to
:33:49. > :33:50.
:33:50. > :33:57.change that strategy. I think he also damaged the tyres. Euros down
:33:57. > :34:07.force behind another car. So they have called him in. -- you lose
:34:07. > :34:16.
:34:17. > :34:26.downforce. David, d'you think this is now just about Racing McLaren?
:34:27. > :34:28.
:34:28. > :34:38.We can see how close Sebastian Vettel cot. -- got. This is at
:34:38. > :34:41.
:34:41. > :34:51.silly -- absolutely the racing line. A huge amount of time lost there.
:34:51. > :34:59.
:34:59. > :35:08.But they have got to the lead of this race by merit. On board with
:35:08. > :35:18.Lewis Hamilton. A garage of 22 men. But it is not going to be good
:35:18. > :35:19.
:35:19. > :35:25.enough. It shows the difference in pace between the fresher set of
:35:25. > :35:30.tyres and what Lewis Hamilton was able to do on that last lap. So why
:35:30. > :35:39.then would you not picked as early as possible all the time? You only
:35:39. > :35:49.have so many sets of tyres available. Jensen, box to overtake
:35:49. > :35:49.
:35:49. > :35:58.Mark Webber. So that gives their game away. And this could be
:35:58. > :36:07.interesting. I wonder if Ferrari will play Massa tactically? He is
:36:07. > :36:12.getting towards the end of his stint on the tyres. Sebastian
:36:12. > :36:22.Vettel is the fastest man on the entire Grand Prix in the first
:36:22. > :36:32.sector. But it keeps closing in on Mark Webber. Just one second behind.
:36:32. > :36:39.
:36:39. > :36:49.-- button. They would otherwise thing, they will cover McLaren.
:36:49. > :36:51.
:36:51. > :37:01.McLaren did not come in. And where they are expecting Jensen Button to
:37:01. > :37:04.
:37:04. > :37:14.come in? There perhaps trying to dummy Red Bull. Mark Webber just
:37:14. > :37:19.
:37:19. > :37:29.clears the traffic. Sebastian Vettel right up behind Massa. It
:37:29. > :37:30.
:37:30. > :37:35.depends how quickly he can get through. Taking no prisoners here.
:37:35. > :37:44.That is as simple move for Sebastian Vettel. And that now
:37:44. > :37:54.releases in beautifully to head off. He can still win this race for
:37:54. > :37:54.
:37:54. > :38:03.himself. Fernando Alonso, this needs to be the best pit-stop they
:38:03. > :38:13.have ever done. He had a good advantage of about 11 seconds
:38:13. > :38:17.
:38:18. > :38:27.remember. Jensen Button has come in as well. Let us see where Alonso
:38:28. > :38:31.
:38:31. > :38:37.Leeds back in. Quite a long way ahead of Sebastian battle. He has
:38:37. > :38:45.lost drive coming out of the end of the pit lane! The engine is running.
:38:45. > :38:55.He is in neutral. The team have said there has been a problem and
:38:55. > :38:55.
:38:55. > :39:05.have told him to stop. I think they are missing both wheel nut. I think
:39:05. > :39:34.
:39:34. > :39:40.so. He pulls in and stops perfectly. The current level of fuel-saving is
:39:40. > :39:45.not enough, we need to do some more to get to the end of the race.
:39:45. > :39:55.is the message that it driver does not want to here, that will affect
:39:55. > :40:06.
:40:06. > :40:12.his lap time. We have an investigation. Hamilton being told
:40:12. > :40:20.to save fuel, he could be in trouble. I'm not sure that the
:40:20. > :40:30.stewards should go anything. If the chief mechanic puts his hand up you
:40:30. > :40:31.
:40:31. > :40:37.have to presume that the car is ready. And Jensen Button is out of
:40:37. > :40:47.the race, so what penalty can make apply? Unless they decide to carry
:40:47. > :40:51.the penalty for wood, which would be tough in the extreme. Lewis
:40:51. > :41:00.Hamilton desperately wants to be on the podium in front of the British
:41:00. > :41:09.fans but he has got his work cut out. Massa coming back at him now
:41:09. > :41:16.in its 5th place. Sebastian Vettel will have to settle for second
:41:16. > :41:26.place at the moment. He has no answer to Fernando Alonso and
:41:26. > :41:34.
:41:34. > :41:44.Ferrari. Hamilton asked to be a sitting duck. He has been given the
:41:44. > :41:50.
:41:50. > :41:55.message to save fuel. Poor Jensen Button. He has such a magnificent
:41:55. > :42:05.CD that cannot get any luck here at Silverstone, cannot get on the
:42:05. > :42:18.
:42:18. > :42:26.podium. Just take it easy. McLaren guys said they were coming in and
:42:26. > :42:36.they did not come in. And Mark Webber's Engineer and telling him
:42:36. > :42:39.
:42:39. > :42:49.not to be fooled, the McLaren team could be bluffing.

:42:51. > :43:01.Down in to block plans corner. -- Brooklands corner. This looks like
:43:01. > :43:01.
:43:01. > :43:08.a video game! Look at the discarded rubber on the side of the race
:43:08. > :43:18.track. Do not make it easy for them, but we do need to get to the end of
:43:18. > :43:27.
:43:27. > :43:37.the race. Lewis Hamilton will be fuming. He is going to be limited
:43:37. > :43:39.
:43:39. > :43:48.in what he can do. When we were doing that jet ski pistes, Hamilton
:43:48. > :43:58.really jumped on that jet ski. He just looked up the water. But
:43:58. > :44:00.
:44:00. > :44:06.unfortunately he is low on petrol today. Does he have the widest car
:44:06. > :44:10.on the circuit? He is going to need it to keep Mark Webber behind.
:44:10. > :44:20.engineer and told him to do what he can but I'm not sure he is going to
:44:20. > :44:21.
:44:21. > :44:31.be able to do anything. Mark Webber just sales down the inside. Mark
:44:31. > :44:40.
:44:40. > :44:48.Webber is through into third place. Lewis Hamilton in 4th place. And
:44:48. > :44:55.that will sadden the crowd around here because Hamilton, from a
:44:55. > :45:01.difficult great slot... Here is the replay. Bluff and double bluff.
:45:01. > :45:10.That was close to being contact. The closing speed was incredible.
:45:10. > :45:19.How quickly Mark Webber had to make his decision. He went to the
:45:19. > :45:29.outside. Remember last year when Alonso thought he could still win
:45:29. > :45:36.
:45:36. > :45:44.it. It could be more of the same stay there? It will be in engine
:45:44. > :45:50.saving mode, I would have thought. One second behind now. 1.1 quicker,
:45:51. > :46:00.Mark Webber, the fastest man on the track. The gap between Felipe Massa
:46:01. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:17.and Lewis Hamilton is 1.7. The Red Bull cars like a stern. Sebastian
:46:17. > :46:18.
:46:18. > :46:28.Vettel calling his tyres. Will Mark Webber Paul the pass? -- pull the
:46:28. > :46:33.
:46:33. > :46:41.fighting for red. This is a proper scrap for second place. Sebastian
:46:41. > :46:44.Vettel going quite defensive. Mark Webber, the fastest man in the
:46:45. > :46:51.first sector for the entire race. He would love to take second place
:46:51. > :46:54.from Sebastian Vettel. There is no question, having won last year, he
:46:54. > :47:03.knows he needs to finish in front of Sebastian Vettel to turn his
:47:03. > :47:08.season around. Fernando Alonso is already into the final lap. The Red
:47:08. > :47:13.Bull cars finished the penultimate lap. Felipe Massa is on the back of
:47:13. > :47:23.Lewis Hamilton. So much action in the closing moments of this
:47:23. > :47:27.wonderful Grand Prix. This is Felipe Massa on Lewis Hamilton. We
:47:27. > :47:32.have no idea what the podium order is going to be, except Fernando
:47:32. > :47:42.Alonso will be standing on the top step. There are no team orders in
:47:42. > :48:08.
:48:08. > :48:15.can he get into the slipstream? needed to see that! Felipe Massa is
:48:15. > :48:20.in the same position. Sebastian Vettel is still in second place.
:48:20. > :48:24.Felipe Massa has not been able to pass Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton
:48:24. > :48:33.hanging on to fourth place. Will Mark Webber have enough energy down
:48:33. > :48:39.the final run? RADIO: We need to maintain the gap. There are team
:48:39. > :48:45.orders now. Fernando Alonso wins the British Grand Prix. His 27th
:48:45. > :48:51.victory, the first for Ferrari since last year. He joins Jackie
:48:51. > :48:56.Stewart on 27 wins. Mark Webber has been told, stay behind him. He is
:48:56. > :49:06.not paying too much attention to that. Sebastian Vettel finishes
:49:06. > :49:07.
:49:07. > :49:14.second. There is contact! Niqab Lewis Hamilton get back? Yes! Lewis
:49:14. > :49:23.Hamilton gets it. Lewis Hamilton bullies him out of the way. Lewis
:49:23. > :49:30.Hamilton came up the inside. Firm contact. Lewis Hamilton entitled to
:49:30. > :49:34.fight his corner. Choir would love to see another angle of that. -- I
:49:34. > :49:39.would love to see. The director did not know which to follow there, but
:49:39. > :49:49.I am pretty sure there was contact. Great defensive driving from Lewis
:49:49. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :49:55.Hamilton, and a good comeback from Felipe Massa. It is all locked up.
:49:55. > :50:02.A broken front wing it, but so what? Synchronised drifting,
:50:02. > :50:10.synchronised touching. They are trying to keep their cars pointing
:50:10. > :50:13.in the right direction. Felipe Massa has gone down the outside,
:50:13. > :50:22.the get a Thumper from Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton comes up
:50:22. > :50:28.the inside. Felipe Massa fighting to as he crosses the Astroturf. A
:50:28. > :50:36.clear fourth place in the end for Lewis Hamilton. RADIO: A fantastic
:50:36. > :50:41.day, very good. Fantastic day. Fernando Alonso wins the British
:50:41. > :50:46.Grand Prix in spectacular style. Red Bull still very much their in
:50:46. > :50:56.second and third, with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. The sweet
:50:56. > :50:56.
:50:56. > :51:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:51:43. > :51:51.for the constructors battle is now you and Ferrari. What a comeback.
:51:51. > :51:57.It was unbelievable to win here. We were 1.5 seconds behind Red Bull
:51:57. > :52:02.for races ago, and now we are fighting with them. Especially at
:52:02. > :52:06.Silverstone, it was one of the circuits that we fear, because of
:52:06. > :52:12.the characteristics of the corners suitings Red Bull. It is a special
:52:12. > :52:20.when. A nice surprise, and a huge motivation for us. Mark Webber
:52:20. > :52:24.tried to pass me. We did not put on a show. It was real racing. From my
:52:24. > :52:30.point of view, he did not find his way through. I am sure he would
:52:30. > :52:34.have loved to have passed, but that is what racing is about. From 18 a
:52:34. > :52:38.point of view, it does not make sense which way round they come,
:52:38. > :52:48.the most important thing is that they finish the race. You were told
:52:48. > :52:49.
:52:50. > :52:53.to maintain the gap. Is that fair? I was not happy with that. When you
:52:53. > :53:00.have guys on the radio, talking to you about things, when you are
:53:00. > :53:06.fighting for second place,... You do not know, Fernando Alonso might
:53:06. > :53:12.stop, so then you are fighting for the victory. At the end, with 20
:53:12. > :53:18.laps to go, I had to save fuel. Massively. I had to give Mark
:53:18. > :53:26.Webber the position. Under last lap, they said, now you can push, and I
:53:26. > :53:35.said, thanks! I was not giving up that position, no way. What a
:53:35. > :53:42.disappointing end. Yes! When did you first realise? It is when I
:53:42. > :53:48.headed out, I turned up the hill, the wheel came off. Very
:53:48. > :53:52.disappointing. We all make mistakes. You hope they never happen.
:53:52. > :53:59.Disappointing, because it is in front of the home crowd, and I was
:53:59. > :54:04.enjoying the race. The pace was very good. I caught up with Lewis
:54:04. > :54:08.Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. I stayed out for one more
:54:08. > :54:15.lap, and it was looking pretty sweet. I got a call to come to the
:54:15. > :54:20.pits. There was not a set of tyres. Then it was the wrong tyres. All in
:54:21. > :54:26.all, I lost about 25 seconds, and that is crucial, especially when
:54:26. > :54:30.you all going aggressively. Other guys were making fewer pit stops.
:54:31. > :54:35.It was all over. It was some race, Fernando Alonso
:54:35. > :54:40.feels what it is like to win the British Grand Prix, and David
:54:40. > :54:46.Coulthard did that twice. Fernando Alonso finished at the front, but
:54:46. > :54:56.that was another exciting, dramatic, unpredictable race. His, mixed
:54:56. > :54:57.
:54:57. > :55:02.conditions, half the track was wet, 1/2 oz dried. -- 1/2 or strive.
:55:03. > :55:07.Ferrari's pace was genuine, they came with some upgrades, diffuser
:55:07. > :55:12.changes, and in the end, a small hiccup from Red Bull, and Fernando
:55:12. > :55:18.Alonso took a fairly easy victory. Fernando Alonso did not really need
:55:18. > :55:23.to fight, because for the first time this year, Red Bull had some
:55:23. > :55:28.chinks in their armour. No season will be completely flawless, it is
:55:28. > :55:38.a fast-moving business, the pit stop is a perfect example. The team
:55:38. > :55:38.
:55:38. > :55:42.has to change the tyres within three or four seconds. They failed
:55:42. > :55:46.with Sebastian Vettel. You cannot have all of the look of the time.
:55:46. > :55:53.Another issue for Red Bull, telling Mark Webber to preserve the gap at
:55:53. > :55:57.the end of the race. Interesting to see the public reaction. The
:55:57. > :56:01.majority of people, understandably, would like to imagine the drivers
:56:01. > :56:06.will race to the chequered flag. But the team principal has put
:56:06. > :56:10.forward a good explanation, his responsibility is to make sure they
:56:11. > :56:15.get the maximum amount of points that they can. In this case, he
:56:15. > :56:18.said to the drivers, you must pole position. The British drivers,
:56:19. > :56:23.three of them started in the top 10, and be one of them finished in the
:56:24. > :56:26.top 10. Forceful driving a from Lewis Hamilton, he made a brilliant
:56:26. > :56:32.start, it looked as though he would be able to finish on the podium,
:56:33. > :56:37.but the pace was not good enough. They had under fuelled the car, and
:56:37. > :56:40.he was defenceless to allow Mark Webber to overtake him. Jenson
:56:41. > :56:46.Button had a problem at the pit stop, and he had to retire. Paul di
:56:46. > :56:50.Resta ended up out of the points, after having a disastrous pit stop.
:56:50. > :56:55.All in all, another first-time winner for this season, Fernando
