:01:15. > :01:20.Well koum to the fourth Grand Prix from the Valencia street circuit. A
:01:20. > :01:30.venue that hasn't impressed since entering the Formula One calendar.
:01:30. > :01:49.
:01:49. > :01:56.All the action from the race coming your way. Here are the highlights
:01:56. > :02:00.of qualifying. Anyone who came to Valencia hoping
:02:00. > :02:03.for a surprise result in qualifying would have left the track sorely
:02:03. > :02:09.disappointed. Sebastian Vettel was quickest again, so starts on pole
:02:09. > :02:16.for the seventh time after this season's eight races. Jarno Trulli
:02:16. > :02:21.showed how tricky the track is, with lazy spin, the pits were
:02:21. > :02:26.nearby. Today we just went for one go, and
:02:26. > :02:31.on the first lap, I got big traffic I couldn't do it on the first lap
:02:31. > :02:35.and then on the second lap the tyre was already gone. Faced with a
:02:35. > :02:40.failing fuel pump, he couldn't find the hard shoulder and parked his
:02:40. > :02:47.car in the middle of the track and suspended the session.
:02:47. > :02:54.Into the top ten shootout everyone qual satisfied where they wanted to.
:02:54. > :02:58.Toro Rosso has an advantage to the - Nico Rosberg has an advantage for
:02:58. > :03:01.the race. Where we are there isn't much
:03:01. > :03:05.chance to look forward, so it will be more staying in position and
:03:05. > :03:09.driving to the end and take the points that we can take. From the
:03:09. > :03:13.highs of Canada, Jenson Button was brought back to earth with a bump,
:03:13. > :03:16.only sixth on the grid, the rear of the car getting away from him,
:03:16. > :03:20.meaning the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso start
:03:20. > :03:25.ahead of the McLaren on the grid a great result for Alonso on home
:03:25. > :03:29.soil. We know that this is our maximum position at the moment, Red
:03:29. > :03:36.Bull is out of reach as the last 13 pole positions regarding the last
:03:36. > :03:41.races of last year. This is no magic tricks from one day to
:03:41. > :03:47.another, the real goal was to beat the McLaren, one in front and one
:03:47. > :03:50.behind, the goal is achieved. We will be starting between them and
:03:50. > :03:54.hopefully tomorrow we can fight for podium, which is the main goal for
:03:54. > :03:58.this weekend. For the top three, as they were at
:03:58. > :04:03.this track last year, Lewis Hamilton felt he drove a brilliant
:04:03. > :04:07.lap and outdrove the car for a brilliant position. Mark Webber was
:04:07. > :04:12.under pressure on the final run. Sebastian Vettel called off his
:04:12. > :04:20.final attempt and retired to consider his genius behind the
:04:20. > :04:24.wheel. He has 20 pole positions, tenth in the list, only two behind
:04:24. > :04:29.Nicky Lauder. I would love to finish in my position, I would be
:04:29. > :04:34.more than happy. Race pace has been pretty good over the last few races,
:04:34. > :04:38.as Jensen proved. See how it isth goes. It was a good time to peak
:04:38. > :04:44.and get the last time on the last lap, it was good lap to put me
:04:44. > :04:47.pretty close to him, ahead of the two McLarens and Ferrari. I would
:04:47. > :04:51.have taken that in the middle of qualifying. It is difficult to
:04:51. > :04:57.predict, especially with the races we have seen so far, surely, when
:04:57. > :05:02.you start from pole, you don't want to finish second.
:05:02. > :05:06.So Vettel, the only driver smiling after qualifying, Mark Webber
:05:06. > :05:11.alongside at track the Australian dislikes. Lewis Hamilton will be
:05:11. > :05:21.looking to overtake one Red Bull from the start. An early six
:05:21. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:40.followed by Schumacher, Adrian are looking at the back of the
:05:40. > :05:43.field for a man with a Green Flag. They are on, they stayed on for
:05:43. > :05:48.just three seconds in all of the other races we have seen this
:05:48. > :05:52.weekend. They are off. Vettel looked a bit tardy off pole
:05:52. > :05:56.position, Webber is going up the outside, he's close in, the
:05:56. > :06:01.Ferraris are away, Massa with a tremendous start. Massa up the
:06:01. > :06:06.inside, and Webber, and he has to yield, so Alonso takes the place
:06:06. > :06:10.back. Ferrari then, third and fourth. Not great start for Lewis
:06:10. > :06:20.Hamilton, as Alonso maintain that is position into the turn, four and
:06:20. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:33.five shi cane. Look at Vettel doing exactly what he needs to do.
:06:33. > :06:37.great go from Di Resta. No contact, unusual from this track. It seems
:06:37. > :06:42.the winner was Alonso, Hamilton and Button, both dropping back, bad
:06:42. > :06:46.starts from the McLarens. We have Rosberg up in sixth place, look at
:06:46. > :06:50.the lead Vettel has already. It will be very interesting now to see
:06:50. > :06:55.what Ferrari can do about Mark Webber. We have Lewis Hamilton in
:06:55. > :07:00.fifth, then Rosberg, Jenson Button, and Paul di Resta then attacking
:07:00. > :07:05.like crazy. He has lost a front wing in the last few races, it
:07:05. > :07:09.doesn't seem to slow him down in terms of aggressive overtakes.
:07:09. > :07:14.think that is exhaust smoke coming out of the front of the Renault T
:07:14. > :07:23.blows smoke out where the inlet is for the radiator. It was blowing
:07:23. > :07:27.dust that has been put down to soak up oil from the cement. Full tanks
:07:27. > :07:31.of fuel, around 150 kilograms of fuel on board.
:07:31. > :07:36.I love this camera shot. You can really see the cars, even at that
:07:36. > :07:44.speed, doing 160 miles an hour, sliding around. Tremendous camera
:07:44. > :07:54.angle, hopefully we will see more of that in the race. Vettel leads.
:07:54. > :08:02.Alonso, Hamilton, Rosberg, Button, Sutil up to ninth.
:08:02. > :08:07.That is the first lap. 8.6 seconds Barrichello was hin the
:08:07. > :08:17.leader. That is the field spread you get inevitably in Grand Prix.
:08:17. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:24.Petrov had a poor start. Perez 16th, Alguersuari 17th. Lotus are 19 and
:08:25. > :08:29.20. Maldonado is 22nd, D'Ambrosio 23rd, Karthikeyan remains in 24th
:08:29. > :08:33.place. As Webber begins to pull a gap on the Ferrari, but Hamilton is
:08:33. > :08:39.hanging on to them. Hopefully we will get a replay of the start.
:08:39. > :08:42.Rosberg absolutely flying off the start again. If the Mercedes is
:08:42. > :08:47.struggling on tyre degradation as we are led to believe, that could
:08:47. > :08:52.be a headache for Button today. has obvious lie the use of the DRS
:08:52. > :09:01.to find out - obviously has the use of the DRS and we will find out if
:09:02. > :09:05.that is working. This is the corner just after where
:09:05. > :09:08.Mark Webber went flying last year. Getting back on to the Mercedes.
:09:08. > :09:12.They have said they have been eating up the rear tyres in the
:09:12. > :09:17.long run. One of the big challenges, with this replay of the start, you
:09:17. > :09:22.were quite right, initially the gettaway for Vettel was tartdy, but
:09:22. > :09:30.so much better than - tardy, but so much better than Hamilton, he was
:09:30. > :09:35.overtaken from turn one. Massa goes at Vettel, backs out of it, aweth
:09:35. > :09:43.allows Alonso to go around his team-mate and take the place. There
:09:43. > :09:46.is Rosberg getting the outside of Button.
:09:46. > :09:50.Watch Massa flick past Alonso, he just can't seem to get the starts
:09:50. > :09:56.right. Massa has himself up into third, challenging for second,
:09:56. > :10:01.Alonso, a wiley old fox that he is, goes down the outside and takes
:10:02. > :10:05.third place back. A greet run down to the first corner, tremendous
:10:05. > :10:11.skill, Massa was the man getting the work done there. At the moment
:10:11. > :10:18.Button is fine, but he's around the outside, Rosberg gets on the trot
:10:18. > :10:25.early and drives clean past him. Some how they all make it work.
:10:25. > :10:30.Vettel is.8 seconds ahead. They enter on to the third lap. Sorry,
:10:30. > :10:38.terrible start for Petrov. As you you were counting off there,
:10:38. > :10:42.Renault in the past, we have Toro Rosso up the outside. The Russian
:10:42. > :10:45.called it home in the time, it was not a homely feeling off the grid.
:10:45. > :10:50.In car with Lewis Hamilton, absolutely bogging down as he goes
:10:50. > :10:54.off the line. And Massa making an absolute flyer. He has a look down
:10:54. > :11:01.outside, not really committed. I feel if mass Mass Hamilton he would
:11:01. > :11:06.have made the pass stick. Ross Rosberg having to go defensive into
:11:06. > :11:09.the - Nico Rosberg having to go defensive in the last corner.
:11:09. > :11:14.Button brakes later into turn two. You sense it is only a matter of
:11:14. > :11:19.time, he's ten seconds off the leader is Button, as he's got car
:11:19. > :11:24.underneath him now, I think he's faster than the Mercedes. We heard
:11:24. > :11:29.the measuring spinning up its wheels which will damage the tyres.
:11:29. > :11:35.It is difficult to see how the pace goes. There is no doubt the McLaren
:11:35. > :11:40.is quicker, but there are areas where the Mercedes is quicker. See
:11:40. > :11:46.there, the Mercedes drives off turn ten. That means with the point
:11:46. > :11:56.where Jensen crosses the line to open his DRS he's too far back. He
:11:56. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:06.hasn't used any of his K-Rs. There maybe a problem.
:12:06. > :12:10.Maybe he wants to keep that, so you can use it for DRS, and indeed, he
:12:10. > :12:15.wants both the toys to play with, and so he's got extra power, and
:12:15. > :12:19.now he has extra straight lines. As we said yesterday, the Mercedes
:12:20. > :12:23.topped the speed traps in every session, practice and qualifying.
:12:23. > :12:26.These two cars have identical engine, but the downforce to drag
:12:26. > :12:30.of the Mercedes, or the decision they have made on their car, as we
:12:30. > :12:40.see a great shot here. This is the one where you love them coming
:12:40. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:45.round the wall at turn 24. A much better drive this time. A
:12:45. > :12:52.concertina effect. He has so much better speed through turn one. He
:12:52. > :12:58.has to have a look down inside turn two. Superb. Great overtake from
:12:59. > :13:02.Jensen. The brakes are so powerful, they stop you at 5.5 times the
:13:02. > :13:06.force of gravity, that is the speed you see, if you are on the brakes
:13:06. > :13:10.five metres later, that was incredible footage. Watch this,
:13:10. > :13:17.watch the difference as Jensen brakes later. I think nick co-was
:13:17. > :13:21.almost a little bit surprised by him there. Steaming past and
:13:21. > :13:25.committed to the braking, he needed to get the pass done. He's a dozen
:13:25. > :13:30.seconds off the leader. We will wait to see. Let's have a look up
:13:30. > :13:34.front. That is interesting. The Ferraris in the last two laps have
:13:34. > :13:40.matched Vettel and Webber's time. So it seems as if it is just coming
:13:40. > :13:44.to them gently now, the gap, it is only two seconds geen Vettel and
:13:44. > :13:53.Webber. Alonso is now 1.1 behind Webber, and closing fast in the
:13:53. > :13:58.first sector, will he get the advantage of the DRS any time soon?
:13:58. > :14:04.Hamilton deciding he has enough of the tyres. We will keep an eye on
:14:04. > :14:08.his lap times. Will that mean that Massa has to respond? Otherwise the
:14:08. > :14:15.undercut, the fresh boots on that car will give Hamilton such a lot
:14:15. > :14:24.of grip. The pit exit and outlap, and the in
:14:24. > :14:29.lap, it is so easy to lose time. They are as closely analyses than
:14:29. > :14:34.anything else you other do. It is hard to find an intense performance
:14:34. > :14:37.from the car. If the driver doesn't get his in lap or out lap, when
:14:37. > :14:44.you're trying to find out where are the tyres performing and where is
:14:44. > :14:48.the extra grip, if he's hesitant that can giveaway half a lap. That
:14:48. > :14:52.is crucial later in the race. clock is always running, whether in
:14:52. > :14:58.the pit lane or 190 miles an hour in the braking zone. Vettel leads
:14:58. > :15:04.Webber by 3.5 seconds, Alonso third, Massa fourth. Button free of
:15:04. > :15:10.Hamilton has pitted. Schumacher stayed out, Rosberg has also pitted,
:15:10. > :15:19.we have a big oversteer, that is a set of rear tyre that is are drying
:15:19. > :15:23.Heidfeld passes Sutil. Sutil having just pitted, Heidfeld sorts him out.
:15:23. > :15:30.Sorry, I can see Red Bull mechanics getting out on the pit lane,
:15:30. > :15:35.Ferrari are poised as well. Indeed we have Webber in the pit. 40 miles
:15:35. > :15:40.an hour the pit lane speed lane, 60kms an hour. Webber on the soft
:15:40. > :15:46.tyres too. Massa didn't come in, I had a feeling Massa was coming in
:15:46. > :15:51.but he didn't. He hasn't responded. Let's have a look at Hamilton's
:15:51. > :15:56.times. He's just done the fastest final sector of the Grand Prix. His
:15:56. > :16:00.outlap was a 1.53.3. Include thank included getting up to speed out of
:16:00. > :16:04.the pit lane, that could put him right in amongst the Ferraris I
:16:04. > :16:07.would have thought. Ferrari has not reacted at this time. I would have
:16:07. > :16:12.thought that McLaren would be pretty pleased about that. They pay
:16:12. > :16:17.a hef heer price in the Grand Prix, their tyres have gone further.
:16:17. > :16:25.Track position is everything. Hamilton's stop on 14 is bang on
:16:25. > :16:29.for a three stop. We expect to see him in at 28 and 42, they are
:16:29. > :16:33.threading tyres potentially for Jenson Button. Ferrari want to go
:16:33. > :16:38.as long as they can, they feel they haven't reached the cliff with
:16:38. > :16:46.these it atyres and feel they can go for a few more - tyres and feel
:16:46. > :16:52.they can go for a few more laps. Hamilton flying on these fresh tyre,
:16:52. > :16:55.unsurprisingly. Maybe fare vary, then, are going to try to do one
:16:55. > :17:05.less stop, instead of the pace that ham is put anything out there, that
:17:05. > :17:10.may chaink their tune. - change their tune? Ferrari and McLaren are
:17:10. > :17:15.coming in for a pit stop. We have Mercedes as well, the bottom end of
:17:15. > :17:21.this pit lane, all of the four teams, McLaren, Mercedes, and Red
:17:21. > :17:26.Bull are servicing their cars. Pretty busy down there, one pit
:17:26. > :17:33.crew to service both drivers. They have to scarper out of the way with
:17:33. > :17:36.the Jacks. And as we watch the Ferrari get up to the speed,
:17:36. > :17:42.unsurprisingly they are all putting on soft tyres. Hamilton has done a
:17:42. > :17:47.new time for the lap, where exactly is he in relation to the Ferrari.
:17:47. > :17:57.He's still behind them. Hamilton hasn't made the difference. He's
:17:57. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:10.right there. That's button leaving the pits. He lost a lot of time.
:18:10. > :18:20.Mark Webber, with his mirrors full of scarlet Ferrari. The Red Shoes
:18:20. > :18:44.
:18:44. > :18:48.bulls are charging, the prancing mass marks he's beginning to get
:18:48. > :18:54.pace again. Rosberg is nine seconds behind. Sutil is in eighth, having
:18:54. > :18:58.a good run for India. Webber, increasingly coming under pressure.
:18:59. > :19:04.This gets really difficult, not only is he trying to focus on
:19:04. > :19:11.extracting the maximum from these tyres.
:19:11. > :19:18.Try one click rear wards if you need more frontal entry. Rear
:19:18. > :19:22.temperatures, that is tyre temperatures or brakes, he says try
:19:22. > :19:26.one brake click forward, it is brakes, that is the only thing to
:19:27. > :19:30.control from the cockpit. He's driving to be defensive, you don't
:19:30. > :19:36.explore the breaking point as much as you would if you are running
:19:36. > :19:40.alone with the ability to search out the grip. This car constantly
:19:40. > :19:43.changes. You are burning off two- and-a-half kilos of fuel each lap
:19:43. > :19:49.or slightly less. The performance of the car is getting lighter,
:19:49. > :19:56.playing off against the degradation of the tyre, which is getting tired.
:19:56. > :20:04.It is losing performance. I thought he said one click rear ward, I
:20:04. > :20:08.wondered if it was the differential. There are centres on the tyres
:20:08. > :20:12.reading tyre temperatures. The teams know exactly what is going on.
:20:12. > :20:17.Look how close Alonso is now. He's diving around the back and up the
:20:17. > :20:26.inside. Will Webber yield? He has to. Fantastic form, Fernando Alonso
:20:26. > :20:30.there. Absolutely opportunist, and the crowd enjoyed that one.
:20:30. > :20:33.Alonso from nowhere pounced and the job was done. What can he do about
:20:34. > :20:39.the leader. Look at the gap he has pulled
:20:39. > :20:45.already, that was a key part of this Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso,
:20:46. > :20:52.really earned ...there is dust coming up, it is still the cement
:20:52. > :20:58.dust. It is coming behind Webber's car. We Mark Webber seems to be
:20:58. > :21:03.struggling with the rear of his car. You have a massive run into turn 12,
:21:03. > :21:08.this is the area where Webber went flying last year, a clean manoeuvre,
:21:08. > :21:11.he doesn't fight it too much. almost sells him a dummy, he goes
:21:11. > :21:17.left and switches right, and then gets the turning point to the
:21:18. > :21:21.corner, runs wide so he can't come back at him. Another set of soft
:21:21. > :21:31.tyres going on for Lewis Hamilton, what's going on there?
:21:31. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:37.He went too early, there was a sign from the people there.
:21:37. > :21:44.It says 4.4 for the stop, does it include the hesitation after the
:21:44. > :21:49.stop was nearly over there. Webber then goes into the pit lane.
:21:49. > :21:53.Eches getting very close behind Alonso. So Webber pits first.
:21:53. > :21:56.Will this give him the undercut as well. That could put a lot of
:21:56. > :22:04.pressure on Ferrari, that would take the pressure off Vettel up
:22:04. > :22:09.front as well. This is a key pit stop for Red Bull. Holding the revs
:22:09. > :22:15.easily so the car doesn't rock with torque on the Jacks, or they can't
:22:15. > :22:19.get the guns on to the spindle. It is a 3.7 for Red Bull, it is
:22:19. > :22:23.Ferrari's decision to make r they going to have to? Definitely a
:22:23. > :22:27.three stop for Webber, he has the option again, they go into
:22:27. > :22:35.qualifying with three sets of the each of the tyre compounds, in a
:22:35. > :22:38.dry race they must use both of them. If you are new to Formula One we
:22:38. > :22:43.will remind you of that. They have to get out on both the tyres at
:22:43. > :22:51.some point. They want to use the lower tyres, somewhere between 1.5-
:22:51. > :23:00.2 seconds slower, depending on the team. Alonso, it all looks so
:23:00. > :23:04.steady, doesn't it. That looks very steady to me.
:23:04. > :23:09.Alonso struggling for grip, he will pit, he will have to respond, there
:23:09. > :23:19.is a bunch of traffic as well. We have Sebastian Vettel coming up
:23:19. > :23:20.
:23:20. > :23:24.behind Petrov, is that Maldonado there amongst them. We can see the
:23:24. > :23:29.Ferrari mechanics are out in the pit lane. If it is a stop, yes,
:23:29. > :23:36.Fernando Alonso coming in for another set of options. There is
:23:36. > :23:41.oversteering going into the pit lane, no rear braking power. It is
:23:41. > :23:48.an early warning system. You run out of rubber compound on the rear
:23:48. > :23:54.tyre, Alonso was really struggling on that in lap. Where is Webberer?
:23:54. > :23:59.Massa goes through. He's going to jump him, or pass him. That is the
:23:59. > :24:03.undercut for you, pitted one lap earlier, had the extra grip, he was
:24:03. > :24:13.over a second behind him as we got to Maldonado, preparing to come
:24:13. > :24:20.from another race track somewhere, the other Valencia circuit.
:24:20. > :24:24.Webber back in front. They blinked and got it right. Great stuff from
:24:24. > :24:29.Red Bull strategy. Now Fernando Alonso has to do it all again.
:24:29. > :24:37.turns the tables, that puts Red Bull back in charge now? One thing
:24:37. > :24:43.I didn't finish is to say Ferrari have been strulling with the tie -
:24:43. > :24:50.struggling with the tyres. Rear tyre temperatures are very hot.
:24:50. > :24:55.can't go any slower. Understood. He can't go any slower? We both
:24:55. > :24:59.know that is not the case. There is a clear message to his engineer,
:24:59. > :25:06.please stop talking to me. I'm frustrated, I'm trying to drive
:25:06. > :25:12.this car quickly, and you just can't make the tyres last. It would
:25:12. > :25:22.be an indication of lack of downforce. Massa is ahead of Webber
:25:22. > :25:23.
:25:23. > :25:27.at the moment. Coasting in when it suits them. Jensen is in the pits
:25:27. > :25:34.as well. Another set of the soft tyres going on to confirm they will
:25:34. > :25:41.stop again. Both Red Bull and at least Alonso have to stop. Massa
:25:41. > :25:47.leads the Grand Prix, but is yet to do the second spot. Massa didn't
:25:47. > :25:52.quite lead the Grand Prix, he didn't get through. Massa could
:25:52. > :25:59.come into play with Webber, if Ferrari went strategic, they could
:25:59. > :26:07.put Massa out for lap, let's not worry about him he will be fourth,
:26:07. > :26:13.let's use him to back into Webber. You are right, he can really 1308
:26:13. > :26:19.spoil T he's struggling for rear grip. Webber won't be athere for
:26:19. > :26:27.long. He last the DRS on, it is the perfect place. Massa goes defensive,
:26:27. > :26:33.so much slower and earlier on the brakes.
:26:33. > :26:41.Massa is holding up Alonso now. Look at the gap that is giving
:26:41. > :26:48.Webber up front. Traffic ahead, has he seen him. How do they find time
:26:48. > :26:54.to make hand signals while trying not to have an accident. He ran out
:26:54. > :26:59.of tyre grip. Candy from the baby, as Webber drove outside him. The
:26:59. > :27:08.top three are covered now by 3.1 seconds. A set of used soft tyres
:27:08. > :27:14.and a very long pit stop indeed. Left rear didn't go on properly.
:27:14. > :27:24.I think we need to try to up our pace again for the next few laps.
:27:24. > :27:26.
:27:26. > :27:32.This is as fast as I can go. He couldn't go any slower before
:27:32. > :27:36.with the tyres now he can't go any faster. They are getting jumpy is
:27:36. > :27:39.because Felipe Massa is closing in on a second a lap now, aiming at
:27:39. > :27:44.fourth place. This is intriguing, what has happened to McLaren's race
:27:44. > :27:48.place, they were looking like the nearest challenger to Red Bull. In
:27:48. > :27:53.terms of underlying race pace, the quickest at the last three Grand
:27:54. > :28:00.Prixs, what is wrong here. There are eight traction zones on this
:28:00. > :28:04.track, the high-speed corners you are not pulling lateral G, or high-
:28:04. > :28:10.speeds necessarily, it is all about traction keeping the rear tyres in,
:28:10. > :28:15.that is the difference, I agree. Silverstone will cause challenge,
:28:15. > :28:18.high-speed corners, a lot of them. Possibly the fastest section, the
:28:18. > :28:23.Beckett section. I recommend anyone going to the Grand Prix, to hang
:28:23. > :28:29.out and watch the cars at high- speed. It is very much a case of
:28:29. > :28:37.point and squirt around the street Sir sit. Massa still catching. We
:28:37. > :28:44.are on board with Button, let's see if we can see any dramas. This pace
:28:44. > :28:48.is OK, without K-RS, the best thing is to stay on this tyre as long as
:28:48. > :28:53.possible. The final phase of pit stops. McLaren in the pit lane as
:28:53. > :28:57.well. Lewis Hamilton in on this lap,
:28:57. > :29:04.we're hearing. We are hearing an important stop there, it looked
:29:04. > :29:08.good enough. Now we will see how this medium compound tyre works.
:29:08. > :29:16.And 6.3 stop for Webber, not too bad. It is all about now getting on
:29:16. > :29:21.it, on the outlap. Whether it exits the pits as Lewis Hamilton enters.
:29:21. > :29:30.So, brand-new set of tyres that they saved from qualifying, they
:29:30. > :29:34.are going to go on that car. If we go back to Webber, he has come out
:29:34. > :29:40.behind Petrov and Barrichello, battling for position. That could
:29:40. > :29:44.be be costly if he can't run a clean run on the outlap and extract
:29:44. > :29:49.the maximum from the prime towers. That was Webber getting out of
:29:49. > :29:55.shape, heading for the pit lane. Presumably, they knew he was in
:29:55. > :30:01.that lap. I really has it all wound up
:30:01. > :30:08.through there. Talking about it earlier, up to maximise in laps and
:30:08. > :30:13.out lap, they will be critical when you rejoin the track. He is in the
:30:13. > :30:17.clean air, the fastest middle sector, it is only two tenth slower
:30:17. > :30:25.than Sebastian Vettel's last lap. It is key what Mark Webber can
:30:25. > :30:32.deliver on the tyres. He hasn't done a personal best in the first
:30:32. > :30:36.two sectors of the out lap. Webber goes over the line with a 54.9.
:30:36. > :30:39.He's dropping back, the traffic isn't holding him up. Mark looked
:30:39. > :30:49.like he was having a problem and really close after the pit lane and
:30:49. > :30:50.
:30:50. > :30:53.now look at him. Alonso is in the pit. I'm surprised
:30:54. > :31:00.they didn't leave him out longer? They would have lost too much time
:31:00. > :31:04.trying to get past the guys inbetween them. Webber has done a
:31:04. > :31:11.1.42.7, horrible traffic in front of him. So, where is he, it's not
:31:11. > :31:17.enough. Look that too, it works out
:31:17. > :31:26.perfectly for Alonso. He manages to get past Petrov, and so does Webber.
:31:26. > :31:30.Loot of traffic ahead, that will be there. Di Resta, Glock in there,
:31:30. > :31:37.Barrichello, all trying to get out of the way. That, of course, is for
:31:37. > :31:41.position. Paul di Resta has just come out
:31:41. > :31:45.from his second stop. Barrichello right behind him. Alonso getting
:31:45. > :31:52.caught up in that. Mark Webber right behind him now. Unusual to
:31:52. > :31:57.see so many cars fighting all the way down the field, no retirement
:31:57. > :32:02.and that's giving extra problems for the tragedyist to work out just
:32:02. > :32:09.how they can feed their drivers' back into some clean air. All sorts
:32:09. > :32:12.of action in the last corner. That is Di Resta. Kovalainen, Petrov, Di
:32:12. > :32:18.Resta comes back at him for position. At the moment Di Resta
:32:18. > :32:28.has just finish add pit stop, side by side, just as they meet, Toro
:32:28. > :32:39.
:32:39. > :32:43.Rosso coming out of the pit lane as well just for good measure. There
:32:43. > :32:53.it is, good racing all the way down the field. Vettel pits, the leader
:32:53. > :32:58.pits. Ten laps to go. Sebastian Vettel finally will come in for
:32:58. > :33:02.those medium compound tyres. He obviously felt these rears
:33:02. > :33:06.beginning to go for. He has gone right to the edge of them and
:33:06. > :33:11.decided that now is a good time, how is traffic going to work for
:33:11. > :33:16.him. They will have to get out of the
:33:16. > :33:22.way pretty quickly, they are lapped, effectively. Mark we have a gear
:33:22. > :33:27.box problem wrecks need you to short shift in the low gears.
:33:27. > :33:30.were seeing that earlier, it is the case, we have said it before with
:33:30. > :33:35.Mark Webber, if he didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at
:33:35. > :33:39.all. They have detected something in the software which has told them
:33:39. > :33:47.to be careful and redouse the gears. You can hear him, second, third,
:33:47. > :33:51.fourth, he has enough of a window, and 3 second window with Hamilton
:33:51. > :34:01.behind. Any hopes in the last three laps of securing second place have
:34:01. > :34:10.
:34:10. > :34:16.all the way, not taking the extra grip when available. Playing the
:34:16. > :34:21.long game. Keeping the car in good track position. So calm behind the
:34:21. > :34:27.wheel of this Red Bull Renault. We will see how many tear-offs in his
:34:27. > :34:33.advisor, he hasn't had to use any this afternoon - visor, he hasn't
:34:34. > :34:38.had to use any. He led from the lights going out, other than the
:34:38. > :34:48.pit stop place, this is again a study in dominance for Sebastian
:34:48. > :34:54.
:34:54. > :35:01.haven't seen him put a wheel wrong. Other than possibly just
:35:01. > :35:05.fractionally slow off the start line. That is all you could say was
:35:05. > :35:15.not perfect for him today. As he heads towards the end of the 57th
:35:15. > :35:16.
:35:16. > :35:23.and final lap. That is the Grand Prix in Valencia, Sebastian Vettel
:35:24. > :35:28.will take his sixth win in eight races of this Grand Prix season. An
:35:28. > :35:33.utterly dominant performance, yet again, from Sebastian Vettel. Red
:35:33. > :35:39.Bull will not get a 1-2. Because this man, in the back of your
:35:39. > :35:43.picture, Fernando Alonso, at least, has kept Bullingham honest this
:35:43. > :35:48.afternoon with a strong second place. Mark Webber protecting the
:35:48. > :35:56.gear box has fallen a long way behind, and has yet to cross the
:35:56. > :36:03.line. There he is, for the final step on the podium. We wait 20
:36:03. > :36:13.seconds for Lewis Hamilton to come through that final section. He too
:36:13. > :36:13.
:36:13. > :36:23.is calm and coasting, not under pressure. Massa was 4.5 seconds, he
:36:23. > :36:31.
:36:31. > :36:39.he sees his cars win yet again. They take on the might of Ferrari,
:36:39. > :36:47.McLaren and Mercedes, and they keep on winning. Fantastic drive,
:36:47. > :36:53.brilliant, pole fastest lap, what a brilliant afternoon, well done.
:36:53. > :37:03.(screaming) yes, yes. Fantastic place, it is better than anything
:37:03. > :37:03.
:37:03. > :37:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:37:48. > :37:52.you could imagine. This was such a centre of the action. We had a
:37:52. > :37:56.faultless race, the team obviously at the pit everything was under
:37:56. > :38:01.control, the communication from the car to the pit wall and to the car
:38:01. > :38:06.was great today. It helped me a lot to know where I am and what is the
:38:06. > :38:12.plan. All in all, I really enjoyed that race. Even though it might
:38:12. > :38:17.have been boring to watch. Still when you challenge yourself and the
:38:17. > :38:24.car. To maintain the gap behind and try to get a little bit away every
:38:24. > :38:29.gap. Everything works the way you plan things to work t feels great.
:38:29. > :38:32.When you cross the line and see the checkered flag, all the weight is
:38:32. > :38:37.checkered flag, all the weight is falling off, it is fantastic.
:38:37. > :38:42.very encouraging for the team to have the result, to move in the
:38:43. > :38:48.right direction. We were worried, overall we can be positive for
:38:48. > :38:52.Ferrari. We saw today Sebastian and Mark were between three or four
:38:52. > :38:57.seconds within the leader of the race. That is good news for us, but
:38:57. > :39:01.obviously we want to win every race we go in, at the moment it is not
:39:01. > :39:06.possible. Even if it is a fantastic week for us, we are not 100% happy
:39:06. > :39:10.because we want to win that one. was my best race of the year, the
:39:10. > :39:16.result isn't phenomenal but good. To be in the ball park up to the
:39:16. > :39:21.last stop, Seb within range, and hiccups we could have pounced.
:39:21. > :39:28.Pitting for the last time on the harder tyres, Fernando did two more
:39:28. > :39:37.laps, that was enough. How would you sum up today? Good result
:39:37. > :39:40.compared to the last race. Nice to see the checkered flag t sounded
:39:40. > :39:45.frustrating out there, sometimes told to slow down and other times
:39:45. > :39:53.to get more. How hard is it to take in as a driver and get on with your
:39:53. > :39:57.job? It wasn't frustrating, we got a poor start. And lost out to the
:39:58. > :40:03.Ferrari, but in all honesty, we weren't as quick. Even if I was I
:40:04. > :40:09.would have struggled to stay ahead. Nico's start was not OK, it was the
:40:09. > :40:13.only fun part of the race getting ahead of him in turn two. Apart
:40:13. > :40:17.from that, not the most exciting race. From your seat? From my seat,
:40:17. > :40:21.I didn't see another car for the whole race. It seems we have taken
:40:21. > :40:29.a step backwards this weekend in terms of performance. The others
:40:29. > :40:33.have taken a step forward maybe. To be able to finish at least fourth
:40:33. > :40:37.is still good points from other races I have had. To finish eight
:40:37. > :40:41.seconds behind a Ferrari with all the issues wasn't so bad. We need
:40:41. > :40:46.good upgrades, we need to get our heads down and improve the car, the
:40:46. > :40:56.package, aerodie namically we need an improvement for Silverstone, we
:40:56. > :41:01.
:41:01. > :41:05.are not moving forward. The DRS wasn't as effective as I thought. A
:41:05. > :41:09.few times in the zone but not really. I didn't get overtaken, I
:41:09. > :41:12.suppose it is positive from that. It was a difficult weekend right
:41:12. > :41:16.from the start losing Friday. I suppose when you miss that it is
:41:16. > :41:21.crucial just to make the car right. I think I was slightly off Adrian's
:41:21. > :41:24.place. But I could match it at some points. It was an OK race, let's
:41:24. > :41:28.discuss it with David Coulthard and sum it up in a minute. I suppose
:41:28. > :41:34.you would say, great for some, good for some, pretty bad for others.
:41:34. > :41:39.What I take out of the race is Ferrari were contenders, one slip
:41:39. > :41:44.from Sebastian Vettel, we saw a few minutes ago, they could have come
:41:44. > :41:49.through and had an amazing victory. Sebastian Vettel was supreme out
:41:49. > :41:53.front and picked up win number six. Sell us something about Sebastian,
:41:53. > :41:58.it - tell us something about Sebastian, it tells us something
:41:58. > :42:03.about a few weeks ago? acknowledged he gave away a victory
:42:03. > :42:06.within half a lap of the checkered flag within one of the most
:42:06. > :42:10.challenging races this year. McLaren where is the race pace?
:42:10. > :42:15.is all about tyres, the option tyres were significantly quicker
