Mark Webber keeps the engine running. He will fall almost to the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
back of the field. Lewis Hamilton getting right up the inside of him. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
He is always in the wars, is Lewis He is always in the wars, is Lewis | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
and it won't go down very well. Mercedes, of, we think, Nico | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
Rosberg in front of him. Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
has gone deep. Too deep in the corner. And Schumaker drives around | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
the outside. Nico Rosberg is in front of Michael Schumacher and now | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
McLaren and Lewis is through and past button and fancies a look. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
They are struggling so much for grit, they are all over the show | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
trying to slow the cars down. It is not about visibility, it is no tyre | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
temperature. Will he try to drive clean around the outside? There is | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
room to breathe there. There is Mark Webber. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
He dropped a long, long way down the field, did Webber. On board | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
with Lewis Hamilton as they head towards the lasttia cane. Lewis | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
Hamilton, not a lot of space up the inside, so Hamilton ahead of Button. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
They will pick up going over the line for the running order. | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Sebastian Vettel leads by 2 seconds from Fernando Alonso. Up in 8th | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :14:00. | ||
place is Paul di Resta. The two furaries now align astern. Felipe | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Massa looking more comfortable. But Sebastian Vettel absolutely bolted | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
up. He is gone at the moment. great start, it looks like he had | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
gone too deep into the last corner but he founds his feet inthocorner. | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
Clean air, good visibility. Now, Lewis Hamilton on board, Michael | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
Schumacher oversteering with turn six. Good drive from the Mercedes. | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
You see McLaren is not able to capitalise. | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
But has a bit of a moment. So Lewis Hamilton will be well position said. | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
We saw him in the previous lap look down the outside of Michael. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Michael goes to the outside again, once again, Michael comes across, | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
he has pushed Lewis wide. Will he lose out to anybody else? Michael | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
very much squeezed him on to the grass. Did he push him on to the | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
grass? We will have to have another look at it. But now no-bad play, | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
struggling to keep lonce behind him. This is a replay of the start. | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Because they could overtake into the last corner because that is | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:34. | ||
infirst safety Caroline. There is Mark Webber, engaging space. | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
are right, he gave him space and Lewis understeered into him. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Incredibly difficult conditions for both drivers. A marshal is in the | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
middle of the track, picking up a piece of debris. He is safe, thank | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
goodness. Now, getting a view of the racing field he didn't want to | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
see today. But a very disappointing start for Mark. Thirz where he took | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
the corner. Lewis skating down the outside. He only lost one place. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
Plea three.3 ahead of Kamui Kobayashi. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
Fernando Alonso struggling in these conditions. You almost sense if | :16:16. | :16:24. | |
Felipe Massa passed him, he would be gone. They have dropped. The | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
McLarens are now squabbling with each other. Kamui Kobayashi behind | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
him. Paul di Resta has dropped down to 13. No, that is Sebastian Vettel, | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
missed the corner. Mark Webber is in 12th place. | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
Eight and nine, went straight over the grass. Picked a place with a | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
run-off so that was fortunate. Webber and Lewis Hamilton under | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
investigation fl that first corner. I think in that case. No! Touch! | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
That is, well, Lewis Hamilton, obviously, the suspension damage | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
and puncture, I would be surprised if he makes it around into the pit. | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
But the problem with the conditions, Jenson Button can't see. There is | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
so much spray coming off the axle, any visibility is cancelled. It is | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
incredible. Lewis is touching with Michael, or almost touching with | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
Michael and getting together with his team-mate. Will there be a | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
safety car? It is a wheel rim? Is looks like he went against the pit | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
wall. What does Jensen think? Iment what is he doing! I don't think he | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
will get an answer to that question. I think he was trying to pass you | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
Jensen, but he can see nothing out of the mirrors, as you say. A | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
safety car is out, I imagine because of the debris on pit | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
straight? No question about that. But why has Lewis parked the car in | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
the middle of turn five? He had an opportunity in the second corn toor | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
park it, an opportunity before that barrier to know where to park it. | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
This is difficult times. It is hard enough out there without running in | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
to your team-mate, you had had it? At McLaren? It is one thing you | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
want to avoid at all costs. Unfortunately, I took Mika out in | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
Austria and to add insult to injury, I finished second in the race so a | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
double hammy of disappointment. Button in the pits. Coming in for | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
check thonce car. Lewis comes off the last corner much faster. Jensen | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
is making his way on the normal line. The merest of touches really. | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
Lewis will say, "He should have seen me coming." Intermedial tyres | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
going on there, but it looks to me as if Jensen has gone early on a | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
set of interters. Yes, Jenson Button has gone for intermediates, | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
I think McLaren feel he is so far down the field they might as well | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
try something different and no sign of rain at the moment, fuprary also | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
in the pit lane. Xrn another replay of the contact. Well, here we are, | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
Lewis gets a better drive off the corner. Obviously, Jensen comes | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
across to take the normal line, to pull towards the pit wall. He is | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
unsighted. I would, here is the view from behind. | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
At that point, when he commit, the gap just reduced. So an interesting | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
debate between the drivers who was in the right or wrong. Jeffrey | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:20. | ||
Buttle won't know he has pulled up along side him. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
There is Lewis, crash helmet off. Normy inyou feel guilty your crash | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
helmet stays on. Rain falling? big black clouds approaching. The | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
rain is coming, Jenson is on the wrong tyres. Definitely trying to | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
spin them up. An incident involving car three, the safety car speed | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
limit is under investigation. Which is Lewis Hamilton's third. | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
Third inquiry of the day. So two of them dropped out of the | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
race. At some point he must have been on the first safety car period | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
and Jenson Button has got the same inquiry. Safety car speed limit. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
You got to pace yourself not to beat the time. The safe car lights | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
are on, but it is in adthe end of this lap. So many drivers have been | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
struggling to slow the car down. Will Fernando Alonso be able to | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
match vet's leap? Went too early last time. The rest of the pack are | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
too far back. As soon as he has a gap after turn ten, a big enough | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
gap from the safety car which is bolting away down the back straight, | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
he can go for it. All these guys need to be as close as possible. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
Once again, a big drive. They can't overtake until the finish line. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
is hard to judge, how do you judge when you are going to catch the | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
safety car or not? It is a tough one. He has got it right. And | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
Fernando Alonso not as close, as long as he slows down to the corner. | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
And Michael Schumacher getting away with it. But he is not allowed to | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
overtake. No, he can overtake on the first safety-Caroline, for sure. | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
You can do it. It is what it is about. | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
The two Mercedes of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher. And Kamui | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
Kobayashi and Mark Webber back up to 9th. Paul di Resta tenth now, | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
Jenson Button, 12th and under investigation. Sebastien Buemi 15th | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
and Jarno Trulli 16th. Lewis Hamilton watching the restart. Mark | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
Webber very, very close behind Vettori. Vit will be compromised by | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
the line. Not a lot of grip there. Coming across the racing line, | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
which has been laying down rubber all weekend. It is where you just | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
spin up the tyres. The wet tyre crossing over the rubber so | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
desperately trying to keep off the line. But with the impacts you have | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
no choice. A drive-through penalty for car 4, just ahead of Paul di | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Resta, sorry, Adrian Sutil. So it was Paul di Resta. So Jenson Button | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
has made some gains in this lap but he has got a drive-through penalty | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
for the safety-car speed limit issue. That means that he will cost | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
him about 20 seconds to cruise through the pit lane. Do it in | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
three laps. 12 seconds it will cost him, the time through the pit lane. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
So that will bring him back out, well, probably down in 16th place, | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
I would imagine, maybe even further down? Jenson Button is doing 60 | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
miles an hour, 80 down the straight. You feed into turn two, not the | :24:09. | :24:19. | |
first corner. He goes around the outside, slotted in nicely with | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
Pedro de la Rosa. So Mark Webber still in very close company, 7th, | :24:26. | :24:34. | |
eighth and ninth, again, vilt vit feeling the need to be defensive. | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
Well, Vettori started off in ice racing in Russia. He will know how | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
to handle the conditions. That is a fairly easy pass as he breaks down | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
under the bridge. Look how hard it is raining, David! Surely, Jenson | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
Button is going to start struggling now. Heavy spray and aquaplaning. | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
The safety car is deployed. I haven't seen incidents. Fernando | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
Alonso on to the safety car, the first to blink. Back to Wes? Indeed, | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
he will. It is working out pretty well for Sebastian Vettel. | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
:25:28. | :25:30. | ||
An update, for the first car, it is already too dangerous for the car | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
behind it, hasn't seen anything, so blind it goes into the water. | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
Smashed the car. Understood, will pass on the information. He thought | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
they might even throw a red, like in Korea and stop it for a while. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
think it is a possibility with this level of rain. You could argue we | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
are not, well, red flag, Martin. They have responded to your | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
information. Yes, I should do the lottery, shouldn't I? I might be | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
able to win something on that. So it is a red flag situation. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
And we will now go through that procedure that we saw two weeks ago | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
in Monaco where they have to have at least a ten-minute notice of a | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
restart. The race is, effectively suspended. Well, the circuit | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
flooded, conditions were unraceable. While the marshals sought | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
desperately to clear standing water off the track, the drivers tried to | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
keep dry. After a two-hour delay, the race restarted under the safety | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
car. The debate was raging as to when to restart. Sebastian Vettel | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
takes over and becomes the safety car, effectively, controlling the | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
pace of the pack. It is so easy to run into another driver in those | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
circumstances while trying to keep your tyres and brakes warm and | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
Sebastian Vettel has bolt said. He doesn't want Kamui Kobayashi | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
anywhere near him. Felipe Massa is closer to Kamui Kobayashi, spraying | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
not too bad. Vettori on the right- and side of the track for ren owe. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
And down the outside, so Felipe Massa so close to Kamui Kobayashi. | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
What are they going to do when it comes down to turn one? Will Felipe | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
Massa have a chance to take back the position? Kamui Kobayashi has | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
got a better line and he brakes later, just gauges the braking and | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
so close in the two. Great driving from Kamui Kobayashi. Sensible for | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
Felipe Massa in getting out of it. Mark Webber you see in 7th place. | :27:33. | :27:40. | |
So Kamui Kobayashi, and Michael Schumacher has come in also. | :27:40. | :27:50. | |
:27:50. | :27:50. | ||
Presumably for intermediate. A line of them. Timo Glock, Sebastien | :27:50. | :28:00. | |
:28:00. | :28:01. | ||
Buemi, all scampering which of the front runners will try the | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
intermediates again? They all got caught out last time time but this | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
time the sky looks Signature Theatre kntly clearer. Ch Kamui | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
Kobayashi has opened the gap, a little bit to Felipe Massa. The | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
timing screen is showing Felipe Massa was in front of him. He is | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
clearly behind him here but it worked perfectly for Sebastian | :28:24. | :28:33. | |
Vettel who has a 1.5 second lead. ill | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
have to queue up. Fernando Alonso is going to have to queue up behind, | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
just out of camera shot, Well spotted. An unsafe release surely | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
for Ferrari. A bit of confusion. Ferrari have got us looking down | :28:50. | :28:57. | |
the pit lane, "What are you doing in here as well?." Nick Heidfeld in | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
there too, it is all kicking off as the track begins to dry. A | :29:03. | :29:10. | |
nightmare, the Ferrari boys did the best they could but Fernando Alonso | :29:10. | :29:19. | |
lots lots of places to Nico Rosberg. Fernando Alonso beat the Ferrari. | :29:19. | :29:28. | |
The second corner? Yes. In turn three? I am right? Yes. It looks | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
like three and four. The safety car has been deployed. Our favourite | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
car of the day gets another look in. A puncture? Yes, I wonder if there | :29:39. | :29:46. | |
was contact? They shouldn't have been so close on the road. Jenson | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
Button's McLaren. I wonder if Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
got together somewhere and met Sebastian Vettel again. Making the | :29:53. | :29:58. | |
best of some free space at the front. It just all keeps fall | :29:58. | :30:03. | |
nothing to place for Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel. He has gone and | :30:03. | :30:09. | |
effectively, that was as sweet as you want, cream and Almonds, the | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
pit stop. Let's look at this, it was Jenson Button at the inside of | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso didn't want to yield and contact. | :30:19. | :30:26. | |
Well, Jenson Button's second comes out for the afternoon, we will see | :30:26. | :30:35. | |
from behind the Mercedes. Fernando Alonso says, "You are not coming | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
through there." And Sebastian Vettel says, "I am." With a damaged | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
left frunct, was it just a puncture? Will the tyre do any | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
further body work damage? As he coaxes it back to the pit? Safety | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
car will come in this lap. Jenson Button's restricted to the | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
safety-car speed now. He will struggle to catch the pack too much. | :31:00. | :31:07. | |
He might be there if the time they get under way. That is Jenson | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
Button/Fernando Alonso incident, you called as racing incident? | :31:11. | :31:17. | |
think we need to look more closely at that, more camera angles? Once | :31:17. | :31:22. | |
he is committed, you can't make his car disappear. Fernando Alonso | :31:22. | :31:28. | |
wants to keep ahead. I learned the lesson two weeks ago in Monaco, | :31:28. | :31:36. | |
seeing -d races after the race of the Lewis Hamilton /Pastor | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
Maldonado incident. But Felipe Massa is not asleep, he is right | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
with him. To remind you when they get to the safety-Caroline, they | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
can do overtaking. And Nick Heidfeld looking punchy behind | :31:49. | :31:54. | |
Felipe Massa as well. And lots of action going on down the field, but | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
once again, a world champion andshifts the championship leader | :31:58. | :32:04. | |
vetd vet who clearathize line. A second ahead on the restart. Jenson | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
Button has just about caught the back of the snake as he crosses the | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
line. A couple of seconds adrift but right amongst the action. Be | :32:13. | :32:21. | |
looking to pick off the two HRTs bringing thup rear. Looks good at | :32:21. | :32:29. | |
the moment, still, Nico, looks good. Some contact, Nico is worrying he | :32:29. | :32:37. | |
has a puncture. He did have an incident somewhere. Is it contact? | :32:37. | :32:47. | |
:32:47. | :32:48. | ||
With... That's crazy. Your front wing. That was behind the safety | :32:48. | :32:54. | |
car. So Nico Rosberg has got Rubens Barrichello for company. Rubens | :32:54. | :32:59. | |
Barrichello taking the position, going horbably wrong for Nico | :32:59. | :33:09. | |
:33:09. | :33:10. | ||
Rosberg. It wasn't going well for Sebastian Vettel. Michael | :33:10. | :33:15. | |
Schumacher cruises past Mark Webber. Too hot on the throttle. Michael | :33:15. | :33:21. | |
Schumacher takes over sixth place from Mark Webber. The inside! Oh! | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
Damaged front wing, Paul! You've broken the front wing there. So | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
Paul di Resta half-heartedly left the front of the car in the action | :33:31. | :33:36. | |
there. Surely it will give him horrible understeer? Look, he can | :33:36. | :33:44. | |
hardly get into turn one. This, I am afraid, was just clumsy from | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
Paul. We will give him credit where it is due but that is not, that is | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
not good driving. There is no point in taking that risk, in my view. | :33:53. | :33:58. | |
is one of the fastest points of the track. He made his decision before | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
breaking. A sniff up the inside. Unfortunately, it was going to be | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
an ever closing door. Mark Webber having a look at the back of Nick | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
Heidfeld. Use the DRS down the pit straight as well. But he is nowhere | :34:12. | :34:19. | |
near him on the traction zone. Look at the rear wing wide open. Mark | :34:19. | :34:29. | |
:34:29. | :34:39. | ||
Webber cleaning the visor at 185 miles/per/hour. On the back of | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
Pastor Maldonado. Michael Schumacher, four tenths of a second | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
quicker. Jenson Button thinks better of it this time. It is what | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
cost him dearly before when he tried to go up the inside of | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
Fernando Alonso there. It is like train tracks now. Oh! | :34:55. | :35:03. | |
Very wide there. He missed the turning point and here we have | :35:03. | :35:09. | |
Jaime Alguersuari very wide as well. He made good of Pastor Maldonado. | :35:09. | :35:15. | |
Quite bumpy under the bridge, into turn eight. I think he will get | :35:15. | :35:20. | |
himself positioned on the run down to ten. Struggling for traction on | :35:20. | :35:30. | |
:35:30. | :35:30. | ||
the corner, relative to Toro Rosso. Coming into break for turn ten. | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
doesn't need to be at the deactivation point. But he is | :35:34. | :35:40. | |
pushed wide on to the water. There, he can open his wing now. Which he | :35:40. | :35:47. | |
hasn't done now? Now he has got sleep, slipstream forcing him to | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
the outside. Straight through. That was easy. Yes. Changeable | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
conditions. He made it look easy. This is Felipe Massa side by side, | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
with Kamui Kobayashi and Michael Schumacher looks like he has gone | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
past the pair of them. Lots of action there and absolutely wild | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
oversteer there. So Michael Schumacher has passed Felipe Massa | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
and Kamui Kobayashi. Surely, emerges in second place in the | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
Grand Prix now? Michael Schumacher absolutely flying, brilliant | :36:18. | :36:23. | |
driving. That then is Jenson Button, who presumably just pitted for | :36:23. | :36:30. | |
slicks. He has, Pastor Maldonado, and Timo Glock in the pits. That is | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
Jenson Button's 6th trip into the pits, once for a penalty and five | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
times to change tyres. Got Felipe Massa in as well. Kamui Kobayashi | :36:39. | :36:45. | |
has gone past. So that qd well be costly for the driver. Well, they | :36:45. | :36:50. | |
made the way for the action but it is isod. Getting into it. | :36:50. | :36:56. | |
Mark Webber has gone fastest in the middle sector. It is clear, seeing | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
Mark Webber and struggling for traction out of pit lane. Losing | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
temperatures with the slick tyres. For Mark Webber, that is massively | :37:05. | :37:09. | |
quicker than the leader. For Sebastian Vettel, he has no option | :37:09. | :37:18. | |
but to come t to come ay. Behind Nico Rosberg who is still on the | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
intermediates. The Spaniard frightened off. And the raise | :37:22. | :37:28. | |
leader pits then for a fresh set of super-soft tyres. They do not have | :37:28. | :37:34. | |
to use both compounds in this race now because it has been a wet race. | :37:34. | :37:40. | |
That regulation falls away so they can run the soft tyre until the end | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
:37:50. | :37:51. | ||
of the Grand Prix, if we get to the end of this Grand Prix. We watch | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
Nick Heidfeld. It looks like Felipe Massa has been in the wall with | :37:54. | :37:59. | |
that level of damage. He gets on to water, with the slick tyres, he | :37:59. | :38:05. | |
just aquaplanes. Now he has to get past the HRT. The damp patch is off | :38:05. | :38:11. | |
line now, David. Getting off line from Felipe Massa. He has broken | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
the wing! It is like none of these guys know where the front wing is. | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
Oh! Right! Thankfully, plenty of run-off down | :38:20. | :38:26. | |
there. He parks it, I don't expect any safety car ununless there is | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
debris on the track. It is a scary thing when you run | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
over your own front wing, no brakes or front wing, at the same time. | :38:36. | :38:41. | |
Nick Heidfeld got on the throttle, so much grit from the Renault in | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
the slow corn rz, ran into the back of him, waiting for Kamui Kobayashi | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
to pick up the throttle. It looks sit l silly but it is easy to do. I | :38:50. | :38:57. | |
have done it myself. It does and it looks scary. Thankfully, it is an | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
yare where there is a run-off area and he was able to go down. | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
Massively frust frustrating for the ren owe guys because they were | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
looking for a result here this weekend. Back to the battle of | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
Michael Schumacher and Mark Webber. Jenson Button is catching them like | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
crazy now. He is 4 now. 20.2. 2 seconds quicker than the leader, | :39:21. | :39:29. | |
Sebastian Vettel. A bit of traffic ahead of him. I think it is Jerome | :39:30. | :39:36. | |
d'Ambrosio. Careful, off the racing line, see the yellow flag and easy | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
to pick up a puncture. Normally they would throw a safety car for | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
fear of carbon things. Yes, a safety car. I hope they refuelled | :39:46. | :39:53. | |
of laps. I think it is a sensible move, really. Because they picked | :39:53. | :39:59. | |
up the leaders. No, the leader is down. Well, of course, this is | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
interesting. This works beautifully, it just closed the pack up, Michael | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
Schumacher, Mark Webber and Jenson Button, all lapping significantly | :40:07. | :40:10. | |
faster than Sebastian Vettel will now cruise up, right behind him for | :40:10. | :40:20. | |
:40:20. | :40:20. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 122 seconds | :40:20. | :42:23. | |
yet another safety car restart. patch. He needs the one-second | :42:23. | :42:28. | |
window. Mark has shown his colours. He can get down the outside. You | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
can see the white line on the screen, the wing pops open and | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
presumably, Jenson Button's as well. Watch the closing speeds, those two | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
in the slipstream, well, we saw, Michael, last year. And Mark Webber | :42:42. | :42:48. | |
misses the corner again. He has nearly lost it! Mark Webber and | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
Jenson Button sales past him, somehow finding enough grip. The | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
ye yeis waving in term one. But Mark Webber drops back to | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
fourth place, Sebastian Vettel leads Michael Schumacher by 3.8, | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
for now, Jenson Button, so, Mark Webber got in too hot. To the | :43:07. | :43:13. | |
escape road, did not gain a place but nearly dropped it through the | :43:13. | :43:18. | |
exit and Jenson Button said, "I'll ha ha that, thank you, I am | :43:18. | :43:24. | |
out of here." So a replay of the same move. Brave stuff from Jenson | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
Button, he pulls the car over to the damp part of the track. We saw | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
what happened to Felipe Massa when he pulled that move. Got the | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
advantage of the DRS rear wing, but not yet. Jent yet. Jen feeling | :43:39. | :43:43. | |
particularly punchy by the looks of it. If he is within one second, | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
exiting the corner, he gets the advantage of the rear wing and it | :43:47. | :43:53. | |
will pop open over the next line, surely, he hrely, he hreat chance | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
of coasting past, Michael Schumacher, looking in the mirrorer. | :43:57. | :44:03. | |
Is he ahead of him? Yes he is. He can use the wing again, whether you | :44:03. | :44:10. | |
think it is right, I aright, I ad at the double DRS. Jeffrey Buttle | :44:10. | :44:15. | |
didn't use it. It looks like a malfunction. We saw it in Fernando | :44:16. | :44:22. | |
Alonso in China. It popped up at a strange point. He has got the pass | :44:22. | :44:30. | |
done. With the new fastest lap of the race, and lapping 1.5 seconds | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
faster than Sebastian Vettel. three seconds in front. So this | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
race is not over for the win, and it is not over for the last step of | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
the podium. Michael Schumacher there, he did all he could. He made | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
his move early. Look at the di dif the speed, when the | :44:47. | :44:54. | |
DRS and the slipstream. What can Jenson Button do? He can see | :44:54. | :44:58. | |
Sebastian Vettel and smell the victory. We got four minutes | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
remaining. Are we going to get all the laps in? It is going to be so | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
close between the time, the two- hour time limit and, it might just | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
save Sebastian Vettel, if we are one lap short of a the distance. | :45:13. | :45:17. | |
Showing slippery track flag there. And they have matched each other in | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
the middle sector. And I don't think Jenson Button is close enough | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
to get the advantage of the DRS. Sebastian Vettel, watching in the | :45:26. | :45:33. | |
mirror, the rear-wing closed but we are wondering, in the background, | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
smumsmum defending hard against Mark Webber. Incredible hard. Mark | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
Webber is through. Can he keep it on the road? He does. Michael | :45:41. | :45:46. | |
Schumacher drops back to fourth place. He came off the run-off area. | :45:46. | :45:53. | |
Michael Schumacher and then Jenson Button. The gap down to 1.3, | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
cielgsy outside the 1-second gap which will give the rear-wing | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
activation. Are we going to run out of time before we run out of laps? | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
Michael Schumacher, again, without the rear wing and without, he did | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
go across the escape road but he does not have to yield anything on | :46:12. | :46:17. | |
that, he lost aplas anyway. The sector times, Sebastian Vettel did | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
his fastest of the race. He is responding to the closingneck | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
clarin. A beautiful drive from the six times through the pit, Jenson | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
Button. And another incident going to be looked at after the race, a | :46:31. | :46:40. | |
long queue of drivers outside the steward's office is Vettori and | :46:40. | :46:48. | |
Kamui Kobayashi. I have lost track, so much going on. The leader, | :46:48. | :46:50. | |
Sebastian Vettel. We can win this race. | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
Tw Tw5 to go. They move into la la will complete the | :46:55. | :47:00. | |
distance, just. They will get in there. They can complete this lap. | :47:00. | :47:05. | |
Michael Schumacher very wide, sorry to go over you, very wide in the | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
last corner and almost into the wall of champions. Not for the | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
first time, but he survived. They will complete this lap in about | :47:15. | :47:21. | |
1.17. A minute 40 to go. We will see the full 70 laps of the Grand | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
Prix. Sebastian Vettel has responded. They are identical, | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
virtually in the sector time. Showing signs of cranking the | :47:29. | :47:36. | |
engine? Yes, got a yellow flag down to the second, third? What is it? | :47:36. | :47:42. | |
The exit of turn nine. So something has gone wrong in the way into | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
eight. Contact with someone snels we will find out later. Meanwhile, | :47:46. | :47:52. | |
back at the pointy end. Doesn't look like Jenson Button is within | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
the one-second activation point. Is his wing open with the white line? | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
Yes, he has got it. He is within a second now. | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
It is going to be on the last lap then. It fleedz to be a very tidy | :48:05. | :48:11. | |
lap. We have got a flag which will stop overtaking in that corner but | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
it is not a brilliant overtaking opportunity anyway. As Sebastian | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
Vettel goes tpwh to final lap leading. Jenson Button, the new | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
fastest lap of the race. Jenson Button driveing for his life, for | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
the victory. Has Sebastian Vettel got what it takes to hold him off? | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
They are coming up in a pack of five cars. Remember Moemember Gong | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
off. So look out for them. Just in front of them. I think Sebastian | :48:38. | :48:45. | |
Vettel has got white! He turned in too late. He got the tyres but | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
leads the Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel turned in with his tyres, | :48:51. | :48:56. | |
just touching. But buafter an awful afternoon, so many things going | :48:56. | :49:02. | |
wrong for him leads this amazing Canadian GP. He set the fastest | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
sector of the Grand Prix while he wa wa. We see Sebastian | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
Vettel finalttel finalg. Making a mistake. He is finishing second, | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
hasn't been outside the top two this year but Sebastian Vettel | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
finally shows he is human because of the pressure of this man, Jenson | :49:18. | :49:23. | |
Button, put on him. And all sorts going off in the final corner but | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
out of Jenson Button's way. Lots of traffic, Jenson Button into the pit | :49:27. | :49:34. | |
straight. He wins a brilliant race. It is a sen sailgsal drive for | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
Jenson Button. What a -- a sen sailgs drive for Jenson Button. | :49:38. | :49:43. | |
Sebastian Vettel will be angry. Unlikely him. Mark Webber will be | :49:43. | :49:48. | |
the second Red Bull on the podium, just ahead of Michael Schumacher. | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
Sadly, he does not get on the podium but still a britill a brirth. | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
We have got Felipe Massa and Kamui Kobayashi still fighting, then, | :49:56. | :50:02. | |
oversixth and seventh places. You will get the run off from the | :50:02. | :50:09. | |
corner but has he got the DRS? Is he going to do it? He does by the | :50:09. | :50:15. | |
look of it. Well spotted, David. Felipe Massa takes sixth, literally, | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
on the line. So Jenson Button wins from Sebastian Vettel, Mark Webber, | :50:20. | :50:24. | |
Michael Schumacher, Vettori, and how close is this? DRS working for | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
you and the computer says, "Yes." So does the picture. | :50:30. | :50:38. | |
Felipe Massa then Kamui Kobayashi seventh. Hide eighth. Two points | :50:38. | :50:47. | |
for Williams. A well-earned No.1 as well. | :50:47. | :50:55. | |
Look at this, Jenson Button six pit stops, Sebastian Vettel, three. | :50:55. | :50:57. | |
Brill ypblt, Jenson Button, absolutely brilliant. I think we | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
have been in every position in the race but we finished where it | :51:02. | :51:09. | |
mattered. Great job, mate. Ah! A hell of a race! A lel of a race! | :51:09. | :51:16. | |
Thank you so much! Fantastic win. We did it. Thank you, guys, so much. | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
We did it. Thank you, guys, so much. Ah! A long time coming. | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
What a win for Jenson Button? What a race. 25 points in the bag for | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
the McLaren driver, Sebastian finishes second with Mark Webber | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
third. Michael Schumacher so close to a podium, he finishes in fourth. | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
As far as the driver's championship is concerned, Sebastian Vettel out | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
front, but the nearest challenger 60 points behind is Jenson Button | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
with Lewis Hamilton down to fourth. As far as the driver's championship, | :51:50. | :51:57. | |
a second and third place finish, a strong finish for Red Bull, let's | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
hear from the men at the centre of the action.. What a victory. Where | :52:00. | :52:05. | |
to start with that one? To win the race and be in pit lane so many | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
times and be in every position in the race, how can you sum up how | :52:11. | :52:16. | |
you feel? I can't, I can just smile. These races, with changing | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
conditions are always very tricky to know what to do. I think more | :52:20. | :52:26. | |
often than not we call it right. Obviously, I made unscheduled pit | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
stops with broken parts on my car. But we won't go there. Basically, | :52:30. | :52:36. | |
it is a very special day for me. Fighting my way from last to | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
winning the race. Even if I didn't win this race I would have been | :52:42. | :52:47. | |
very happy. I enjoy td so much, when you get one over someone with | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
a move it means a lot. The car was great, I love the dry conditions, | :52:51. | :52:58. | |
rather than knowing where it is. Where you got to find it. Yeah, | :52:58. | :53:02. | |
amazing victory. Jenson Button drove through all of us. He arrived. | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
So JB was on a different planet this race like me in China earlier. | :53:07. | :53:14. | |
It is what happens, they arrive and disappear. Very easy race to make a | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
big mistake, any mistakes would be a big problem. Good result for the | :53:17. | :53:22. | |
team, plenty of points and where pwh apy. A tough race today, very | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
challenging conditions. Very easy to do mistakes and misjudgments. I | :53:27. | :53:33. | |
probably did one only and that one to to away from us. So, | :53:33. | :53:39. | |
surely, you know, McLaren and Jenson did a good job. The safety | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
car helped them recover every time. At the moment, I am disappointed. | :53:44. | :53:49. | |
So close, did a mistake myself and only got seconds. Tricky conditions, | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
I was doing the best I could to keep the car on track. I think I | :53:54. | :54:01. | |
had pretty good pace and fell back behind Jenson, he made a mistake | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
into the last corner. I was on the run, on the outside, but I think I | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
haven't seen the footage but if felt like I was halfway up the | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
outside of him and went across. Whether or not he saw me and I was | :54:14. | :54:20. | |
in the wall. I couldn't see a thing behind me, I saw orange in my rear- | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
view mirror but it could be my wing, that is the problem, the same | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
colour. I didn't look behind, I just moved to the lefthand side, | :54:29. | :54:34. | |
the racing line and I felt a bang, which almost put me in the wall as | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
well. And yes, something you don't want to do, crash your team-mate, | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
but he knows I didn't do it on purpose and he didn't. I spoke to | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
him before the second race and we cleared it up all but we are good | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
to go. Your first wet Formula One race in these conditions, what was | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
it like? It was difficult conditions but we were having a | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
strong car. Definitely, we were on for fourth or fifth place I would | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
have thought. The car was working well here, we had a set of new | :55:03. | :55:09. | |
supersofts at the end, which I think were benefitting us quite a | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
bit. It is unfortunate but what can you do? It was long but special, | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
what a result for Jenson Button, one of the greatest drives of his | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
career, if not the greatest? Yes, he will go home tonight and think | :55:21. | :55:27. | |
about it and say, "That is my best ever drive in Formula One." Or that | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
is what I believe he will say. It is remarkable how much speed he had, | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
feel, touch, confidence, and confidence in the car and the track | :55:35. | :55:40. | |
and knowing what to do. How he handled the drivers down, | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
particularly Sebastian Vettel was remarkable. I loved it, stuck to | :55:43. | :55:49. | |
the seat, magic. For those loyal fan whose stuck around and still in | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
pit lane, they enjoyed theblselfs. Sebastian Vettel is actually human. | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
