The Hungarian Grand Prix

:01:30. > :01:33.uninterrupted coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix, in high-

:01:33. > :01:40.definition on the BBC. If you are thinking, I would love a repeat of

:01:40. > :01:50.the drummer from seven days ago, -- the drama... Imagine how much this

:01:50. > :01:57.

:01:57. > :02:03.moments, it is that much more special. I love watching this. I

:02:03. > :02:07.knew, that weekend, that we would have a good start. I think it has

:02:07. > :02:17.been a while since I have been in the lead from the start of a race.

:02:17. > :02:19.

:02:19. > :02:24.It is an amazing feeling. When Mark got past me, I was 100% confident

:02:24. > :02:29.that I could get back past, and it felt great. I don't like being

:02:29. > :02:36.overtaken on the outside, so I had to make sure that did not happen.

:02:36. > :02:42.We were just fast, for once. When I have got the pace, I am able to

:02:42. > :02:47.make it work. You think, that is the two-time world champion ahead

:02:47. > :02:51.of you. I was watching the Grand Prix when Fernando was winning the

:02:51. > :02:59.World Championships, and now I'm in that battle. That was an awesome a

:03:00. > :03:04.move, on Fernando. It is crazy, I can't believe I did him on the

:03:04. > :03:10.outside. I will always remember that. My best feeling for the year.

:03:10. > :03:18.I think it was a massive buzz, we never expected to be there. It is

:03:18. > :03:23.great to be back in the fight, back in the mix. It is awesome.

:03:23. > :03:26.I think that is just about the right word. The celebrations in

:03:26. > :03:30.that cockpit seven days ago were incredible from Lewis Hamilton.

:03:30. > :03:35.This is the car he grabbed by the scruff of the neck and dragged to

:03:35. > :03:40.the win. He kept Mark Webber off the track, he used his supreme

:03:40. > :03:43.driving skill to go around the outside of Fernando Alonso. It was

:03:43. > :03:51.a pleasure to share that performance with Eddie Jordan and

:03:51. > :03:56.to here David Coulthard commentating on it. When he drives

:03:56. > :04:01.and bliss -- wins like that, he is a different person to speak to.

:04:01. > :04:07.drives on the edge of his seat, and he makes us do the same. It is so

:04:07. > :04:11.exciting. In races gone by, please, never change your style, we enjoy

:04:11. > :04:15.it so much. You are quite similar, you have me on the edge of my seat

:04:15. > :04:19.no space, wondering what you are going to say next. It was weird,

:04:19. > :04:25.hearing lowest describe that as one of his greatest wins, he seems to

:04:26. > :04:30.say that a lot -- hearing Lewis. is typical of a racing driver, when

:04:30. > :04:33.you have not had a victory for a while, that your last win will be

:04:33. > :04:37.your best one. The reason it was so special is they had such a

:04:37. > :04:42.difficult Friday, it was an amazing qualifying performance on the

:04:42. > :04:46.Saturday, and he pulled some great moves. He led into the first corner,

:04:46. > :04:48.went around the outside of Fernando Alonso. He mentioned that he

:04:48. > :04:55.watched him win those world championships when he wasn't in

:04:55. > :04:58.Formula 1, he has so much respect but he wants to win. He said that

:04:58. > :05:04.overtake will inspire him for the rest of the seasons. They can bear

:05:04. > :05:08.a grudge in Formula one's like no other sport. And they keep a smile

:05:08. > :05:12.while they are saying it, and they are hurting inside. Racing drivers

:05:12. > :05:16.are able to cope with the ups and downs. This was probably one of his

:05:16. > :05:21.greatest ever moves, we called it at the time. The reason why Lewis

:05:21. > :05:29.Hamilton need to do something now, if at all, is that there are not

:05:29. > :05:34.too many races left. Nine races after today. It all ends in Brazil

:05:34. > :05:38.on 27th November. You can see every race right here with us on the BBC.

:05:38. > :05:42.We have been in an unusual position as Wigan, of being in the headlines

:05:42. > :05:48.as much as the sport has been -- unusual position at this weekend.

:05:48. > :05:52.It is important to say on behalf of us and the hard-working and

:05:52. > :05:56.dedicated team, we have seen the reaction to the news about the new

:05:56. > :06:03.TV deal, we have read your messages and we are touched and moved off by

:06:03. > :06:06.the fact that you hold our coverage in such high regard. There was a

:06:06. > :06:11.danger that Formula 1 was going to be lost completely, and in the

:06:11. > :06:14.current climate, the BBC believed the best deal was to have 10 races

:06:14. > :06:18.live, and 10 races with extended highlights. For the rest of this

:06:18. > :06:22.season, we will give it the dedicated and passionate under the

:06:22. > :06:26.skin coverage that we have since 2009, and the BBC team will

:06:26. > :06:32.continue to deliver it brilliantly from next season onwards. It means

:06:32. > :06:36.Formula 1 stays on the BBC, for a number of years to come. I suppose

:06:36. > :06:39.I could not say it as eloquently as that. As the oldest boy in the

:06:39. > :06:44.group, and speaking on behalf of all of the people involved here,

:06:44. > :06:49.the camera people, technicians, backroom people, they deliver such

:06:49. > :06:54.a strong show, I have had probably the three most enjoyable years of

:06:54. > :06:59.my motor-racing career, doing this. We have to face reality. There has

:06:59. > :07:05.been a massive financial crisis, and a lot of people have heard,

:07:05. > :07:09.pain and suffering. The BBC is not immune -- hurt. Let's hope the

:07:09. > :07:13.management of the BBC can deliver what they say, the best possible

:07:13. > :07:18.show, continuing where they have been at this moment. We love this

:07:18. > :07:21.job, and we love bringing you Formula 1. We hope to make it

:07:22. > :07:27.really special. Fingers crossed that the drivers play their part. I

:07:27. > :07:33.know it is lovely weather in the UK, you can sit on the sofa, enjoy the

:07:33. > :07:38.sunshine and led these boys toil around in the rain. -- let these

:07:38. > :07:48.boys. # Come on.

:07:48. > :07:53.

:07:53. > :07:57.# Come on, come on. where he picked up his first ever

:07:57. > :08:03.win in Formula 1, and we will talk about why it is a special weekend

:08:03. > :08:05.for him in a few moments. Lewis Hamilton's car is behind us. They

:08:06. > :08:09.have -- Lewis and Jenson have mentioned that it feels like the

:08:10. > :08:14.title race has come alive, which is weird, because Sebastian has the

:08:14. > :08:21.dominant lead that he has had for the past few races, but it feels

:08:21. > :08:28.like something has changed. If they are able to win races from the

:08:28. > :08:32.front... At the beginning of the air, McLaren was struggling. After

:08:32. > :08:35.Melbourne, they did not have the pace to challenge Red Bull on track.

:08:35. > :08:39.They appear to have that place now and that is why they feel it has

:08:39. > :08:42.come alive. Racing drivers don't look to the end of the season but

:08:42. > :08:47.the next session, the next race, and that is where they get the

:08:47. > :08:51.enthusiasm from. We have just seen the numbers on screen. With 25

:08:51. > :08:56.points for a win, it is easy for Sebastian Vettel to think it is

:08:56. > :09:00.wrapped up, but it is not. We had a piece yesterday, is he going to be

:09:00. > :09:06.clever and just gather points where he can, or is he going to go flat

:09:06. > :09:09.out and get wins. My guess is that he has had a calculated view, he

:09:09. > :09:13.will go through the motions and he will end up the champion this year.

:09:13. > :09:17.It may be exactly what we will want to see, because we will see lots of

:09:17. > :09:21.other winners, and that will add to the excitement. Who knows the

:09:21. > :09:28.strategy in his mind. There will be an element of caution when he needs

:09:28. > :09:32.to, but he needs to be quickest in the sessions, and when the red mist

:09:32. > :09:37.comes down at the start of a race, he is going to go for it, as all of

:09:37. > :09:41.the drivers will do. The start of your race is in about 45 minutes.

:09:41. > :09:45.Whatever happens today, Sebastian Vettel will sleep well over the

:09:45. > :09:50.summer break. There was a slight sense of deja vu yesterday. A week

:09:50. > :09:54.ago in Germany, we had a very tight qualifying session. The cars were

:09:54. > :10:04.fighting for pole position, which we have not seen too much of. And

:10:04. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:12.yesterday, we had the same thing his points tally, but by Sebastian

:10:12. > :10:19.Vettel's standards, he is in the middle of a slump. Bases and worst

:10:19. > :10:25.finish of 4th at the last race -- a season worse finish of four. The

:10:25. > :10:28.world champion's first opponent is his team make but Mark Webber's DRS

:10:28. > :10:34.did not work and his KERS power boost was on the bling, which meant

:10:34. > :10:41.he was only six. I did my best, we had a few KERS issues. If you have

:10:41. > :10:45.a gap of six-tenths, I need to look through it, but it is a big step

:10:45. > :10:49.compared to the last few races. I need to analyse it. Two years ago,

:10:49. > :10:53.Felipe Massa was in a Budapest hospital bed with head injuries

:10:53. > :10:58.after being hit by a spring that fell off another car. Two years

:10:58. > :11:02.later, he has a qualified Alonso body first time in 17 races,

:11:02. > :11:08.showing the only lasting sign of the crash is a scar above his

:11:08. > :11:14.eyebrow. Strategy is very important here. Maybe 5th is better than 4th

:11:14. > :11:17.in a way, there is quite a big difference. If we want to put

:11:17. > :11:21.Vettel in some trouble, starting 5th will be more difficult. Let's

:11:21. > :11:25.hope the McLaren can do it in the first corner. McLaren have looked

:11:25. > :11:29.fast all weekend but Lewis Hamilton made a crucial mistake on his final

:11:29. > :11:34.attempt, which cost 10 pole position. Jenson Button is right

:11:34. > :11:38.behind Hamilton -- cost him proposition. Jenson Button's mind

:11:39. > :11:43.was on catering celebrations for his 200th race party. I love cakes

:11:43. > :11:47.I hope I get some cake. The boys at dinner sorted me out with Kate and

:11:47. > :11:56.then there was another cake at the hotel. I hope for another cake

:11:56. > :12:02.today. I lost the advantage I had into the last corner I think I had

:12:02. > :12:07.half a tenth up until that point. I don't know how to start from the

:12:07. > :12:10.opposite side of the grid but I will watch BGP to race. Red Bull

:12:10. > :12:20.were looking for answers as to why they have been off the pace -- I

:12:20. > :12:23.

:12:23. > :12:27.spec, reverting -- resulting in an all lighter for the mechanics. But

:12:27. > :12:31.Seb was back on pole and the famous finger was on display again. I am

:12:31. > :12:35.pleased with today's result. The boys burnt the curfew last night

:12:35. > :12:40.and did not get much sleep. They look very happy, so I think they

:12:40. > :12:47.look even happier, I think that is the best way to say thank you. Now

:12:47. > :12:57.we will see what we can do tomorrow. Sebastian Vettel's eighth pole

:12:57. > :13:06.

:13:06. > :13:12.second ahead of his team-mate, Paul di Resta. It is another

:13:12. > :13:16.disappointing performance from Renault and Williams. Sebastien

:13:16. > :13:20.Buemi as a penalty for causing a crash at the last race.

:13:20. > :13:26.-- has a penalty. In the garage, kinky Kylie is

:13:26. > :13:33.roaring, that is the nickname that Sebastian Vettel gives his car. I

:13:33. > :13:38.wonder how he will be feeling. They are trying to drive the pits and

:13:38. > :13:44.frowning us as we walk all over it. Halwell said have felt when he saw

:13:44. > :13:54.the weather today -- how well Sebastian have felt? He takes it in

:13:54. > :13:58.

:13:58. > :14:01.his stride. I would be wanting a who has not been able to optimise

:14:01. > :14:06.the qualifying, they will see this as an opportunity to win something

:14:06. > :14:09.back. At qualifying performance was special, and it came on the back of

:14:09. > :14:17.a number of people questioning whether he had lost his mojos

:14:17. > :14:22.likely. Does that include us? includes you. -- his mojo slightly.

:14:22. > :14:26.We called to question, is he a real racer. There is no question, we

:14:26. > :14:30.just want to see him doing more exciting things, overtaking in the

:14:30. > :14:33.race. He has the lead in the championship, it is up to the

:14:34. > :14:38.others to catch him. He is on the queenside of the track. You might

:14:38. > :14:41.say, surely the rain has washed it off -- the clean-up side. But that

:14:42. > :14:51.part of the track is higher and it will be drier. He has a slightly

:14:52. > :14:52.

:14:52. > :14:56.bigger all the advantage than he We have won the German driver at

:14:56. > :15:00.the front who has never won here, and one who has won on nine

:15:00. > :15:05.different occasions, Michael Schumacher. He has openly admitted

:15:05. > :15:08.this season is not going the way he wanted but it is not through a lack

:15:08. > :15:18.of hard work at Mercedes. He is also pretty mean with a paint gun

:15:18. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:30.surprise. This is where you hide out when you are not on race

:15:30. > :15:35.weekends. Kind of. This is my race engineer, beat strategy master, and

:15:35. > :15:42.people distributed all over. These are all very intelligent people.

:15:42. > :15:49.Exactly, but it is a secret. This is the engineering office. Let me

:15:49. > :15:57.run you through the massed a brain area. Mr Brawn. -- mass start.

:15:57. > :16:03.Michael is giving us a tour. He has never taken been through. The -- me.

:16:03. > :16:09.When you see all of this, does it get into a big picture? Does it

:16:09. > :16:11.mean everything that will make you go fast? Absolutely, there is lots

:16:11. > :16:17.of different divisions and stages and if one is untried, the final

:16:17. > :16:21.result will not be right. world's most expensive jigsaw.

:16:21. > :16:28.of. This is that machine shop, cutting bits-and-pieces them the

:16:28. > :16:35.right order. I have some here, at titanium, very light of all stop

:16:35. > :16:41.does all of this stuff interest due as well? -- does all of this

:16:41. > :16:45.interest you as well? It is natural to be interested and it makes it a

:16:45. > :16:50.lot easier to know what has to interact together and how it

:16:50. > :16:55.interacts. It is much more precise. It must be really nice for the guys

:16:55. > :17:00.who don't get to see you won a race weekend to see where to the factory.

:17:00. > :17:07.Indeed. I come here to interact and see the guys and take a tour and

:17:07. > :17:12.motivate them, say hello, and aboard the day, thank you. Lots of

:17:12. > :17:18.empty bays, are the cars on route? The they are in a certain areas to

:17:18. > :17:23.be prepared and fixed. That is Nico Rosberg's car. It looks like he is

:17:23. > :17:32.slower than me because my car has gone already. We don't want to get

:17:33. > :17:36.run over. It is a busy time, always, it seems. Yes, 24-7.

:17:36. > :17:43.Let's go in the paint shop room, where bits-and-pieces get their

:17:43. > :17:52.final touches. How to make a car look good. What are you up to?

:17:52. > :17:58.putting the bits on your front. is like an artist. Up drivers can

:17:58. > :18:08.ruin their nose, I will ruin it in a different way. I think it is

:18:08. > :18:14.

:18:14. > :18:19.going really well! Does this wash is Michael Schumacher!

:18:19. > :18:24.Something tells me that neither of them painted this because it looks

:18:24. > :18:30.beautiful. Only as seven-timer world champion would get away with

:18:30. > :18:34.doing that today McKenzie. We can see Michael gearing double for

:18:34. > :18:38.another race, or it is a place where he has always done well and

:18:38. > :18:43.he is always compared to his past wins. But he doesn't seem to be

:18:43. > :18:48.quite sanguine and relaxed. He has come back for personal reasons, not

:18:48. > :18:50.for money or to win more trophies, he has come back because he loves

:18:50. > :18:57.driving Grand Prix cars and interacting with the team and the

:18:57. > :19:04.engineers. The chance to work with Ross Brawn and Mercedes, where he

:19:04. > :19:08.began his career, way back, I think he just enjoys being part of that

:19:08. > :19:13.process, and the success is not fair at the moment but I presume he

:19:13. > :19:17.believes he will be able to stand on the podium again. The car looks

:19:17. > :19:22.absolutely beautiful, but so she can point out, all of the beautiful

:19:22. > :19:28.paint is not going to make a car faster of the fundamental

:19:28. > :19:32.philosophy isn't working. Michael has said this, it is beginning to

:19:32. > :19:36.be a disappointment, and it is. I really thought of that this team,

:19:36. > :19:40.with all of us really talented great people, combined with the

:19:40. > :19:45.driver line-up, could get up that bit more and take on the likes of

:19:45. > :19:52.Red Bull. It is not still too late, but at the Bovaird, they are

:19:53. > :19:57.probably thinking about next year's Khan -- at the moment. A I wonder

:19:57. > :20:02.how he will feel about the rain, we have been told it is sweeping in.

:20:02. > :20:05.The man who runs the Pirelli tyres thinks they will be starting on

:20:05. > :20:10.intermediate today. We could have patches of rain, but not that it

:20:10. > :20:13.bothers the fans. They travel to this one because it is easy to get

:20:14. > :20:23.to, the city is fantastic and the web there is usually very sunny.

:20:24. > :20:47.

:20:47. > :20:55.See how many different flag you can including plenty of bricks. Looking

:20:55. > :21:01.at the sky, it is really dark -- British. We can see some cars being

:21:01. > :21:04.pushed down the pit lane, ready to go on to the grid. It is

:21:04. > :21:08.interesting, when do you switch to the dried tyres, because these

:21:08. > :21:13.tyres are so different in all of the conditions. They have been a

:21:13. > :21:23.big story this season, so we gave a few sets to a man who has ruined a

:21:23. > :21:30.

:21:30. > :21:36.super soft, hard. Only two of these compounds are used in each race.

:21:36. > :21:41.More rubber been small group. The UN treaded slick is king. -- means

:21:41. > :21:47.a ball of grip. The super-soft Way has said much more quickly. The

:21:47. > :21:53.tyres perform best at boiling point. So why have they changed the face

:21:53. > :22:03.of Formula One so much this season? I have a brand new set of super-

:22:03. > :22:13.

:22:13. > :22:19.soft tyres. This is like all of my slide the tyres and they will

:22:19. > :22:25.overheat. Controlled attack his best and control set-up is critical.

:22:25. > :22:31.Some drivers call that the cliff. They are giving out, lots of

:22:31. > :22:37.understeer. I am not sure. Racing is still good but it just won't

:22:37. > :22:43.care. Look at the steering angle I have got. I have to keep my

:22:43. > :22:51.concentration. Just to keep it on the road. There is no doubt about

:22:51. > :22:57.it, I have reached the cliff. I am having to brake, get the throttle

:22:57. > :23:07.on. I am burning so much of the tyre, back four or five laps like

:23:07. > :23:18.

:23:18. > :23:23.Well Webber yield? He has to. This could put pressure on Ferrari, this

:23:23. > :23:31.is a key pit-stop for Red Bull. Over steering are going into the

:23:31. > :23:34.pit lane. He has hit the cliff. That is the undercut for you.

:23:34. > :23:39.before your arrival and benefit from the instant grip of fresh

:23:39. > :23:44.tyres -- pit. Too early and you will need an extra strop before the

:23:44. > :23:48.end of the race. Timing is critical. -- stop.

:23:48. > :23:54.Timing will be critical today, big decisions to be made, the kind that

:23:54. > :23:58.Eddie Jordan used to enjoy. Let's get the latest from the weather.

:23:58. > :24:01.David is with Martin Whitmarsh. Difficult decisions in this

:24:01. > :24:07.situation, what is your weather map telling you and what will you guys

:24:07. > :24:10.do? I think they will go out on the intermediate. It says it will rain

:24:10. > :24:15.for another 30 minutes and I suspect we will have a standing

:24:15. > :24:20.start on intermediate tyres. But you never know. Do you have

:24:20. > :24:24.spotters out around the track down wind? We have some people at out

:24:24. > :24:30.there, but we had a radar and we look behind this occasion --

:24:30. > :24:35.occasionally. There is Lewis Hamilton getting into his car, he

:24:35. > :24:39.starts a right at the front row. How does he feel about the rain?

:24:39. > :24:44.now he makes electric starts and I am sure he will be looking for his

:24:44. > :24:52.bat -- first best ever combat because he loves to lead into the

:24:52. > :24:57.corner. Today isn't just about the right tyres, it is also about

:24:57. > :25:03.getting the pit stop ban on. At the moment, they are taking about on

:25:03. > :25:07.average three seconds.. It can make or break your race. We saw it go

:25:07. > :25:10.wrong for Jenson Button when he left the pit at Silverstone with

:25:10. > :25:16.only three wheels. Equally, it worked out brilliantly for

:25:16. > :25:19.Sebastian Vettel in the last race, he jumped ahead of Felipe Massa or

:25:19. > :25:26.after the pit stop. You have to be fast car there you have to be

:25:26. > :25:31.clever, but by stubble, you have to be competitive. So it is a good job

:25:31. > :25:41.we have some F1 drivers with us -- but most of all, you have to be

:25:41. > :25:42.

:25:42. > :25:48.exciting in the pit lane as it is in the track. Pit stops are

:25:48. > :25:52.important. And changing the tyres quickly is key. We thought we would

:25:52. > :25:56.pick two men who do it a lot about two men -- against two men who talk

:25:57. > :26:01.about it a lot. What is it like commentating on the back of pit-

:26:02. > :26:08.stops? We have never really got one Rhondda, have we? We always try

:26:08. > :26:18.which garage they are stopping in - - got one wrong. It isn't always

:26:18. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :26:31.the case with Jenson. Keep racing practice stop. Save it for Sunday,

:26:31. > :26:35.boys. That needs to happen in the race. If it does, I will be

:26:35. > :26:41.impressed. Three practice goes, then you will have three practice

:26:41. > :26:49.goes. You are front left, you are front right. A one goal shoot-out

:26:49. > :26:59.and the quickest is the winner. the gun. Your whole team doesn't

:26:59. > :26:59.

:26:59. > :27:09.want you to. I will get the well- off. I will get the wheel on. You

:27:09. > :27:09.

:27:09. > :28:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:28:23. > :28:33.Lewis will run into each other at offer a. That could have been Jake,

:28:33. > :28:46.

:28:46. > :28:56.situation, you are leading the race, and that pesky Vettel is very close.

:28:56. > :29:08.

:29:08. > :29:13.You need the perfect stop to win Yes! Unbelievable. There is no

:29:13. > :29:19.engine running either. We were a little bit calmer. And they are

:29:19. > :29:23.coming in a lot slower than we do. I don't know about you, but I am

:29:23. > :29:27.nervous that I am going to knock them over like dominoes when I

:29:27. > :29:31.could then, coming in at an odd angle. They must be bricking it

:29:31. > :29:38.when we come in, and then to get there fast reaction time and do it

:29:38. > :29:48.perfectly, it is a lot of pressure. Every race has a win and a loser. I

:29:48. > :29:48.

:29:48. > :29:56.have the official times. 6.8 seconds. You just lost us the Grand

:29:56. > :30:06.Prix. Compared to... 3.2 seconds. More than double the speed of the

:30:06. > :30:15.

:30:15. > :30:19.concerned. Don't try to pretend you were not competitive that day.

:30:19. > :30:22.still demand a steward's inquiry. If you look, the hand went up

:30:22. > :30:28.before the stop was finished. I don't think we were beaten by as

:30:28. > :30:34.much. He hasn't lost the old excuses. One after another. He is a

:30:34. > :30:37.classic. You are. We have seen a few excuses from Jenson Button,

:30:37. > :30:44.mainly on Saturdays after qualifying. He has admitted it has

:30:44. > :30:49.not gone after he would -- as he would have wanted. Yesterday he was

:30:50. > :30:53.brilliant. It is a special weekend for him. Congratulations, this is

:30:53. > :30:57.his 200th Grand Prix. David Coulthard has been watching them

:30:57. > :31:01.from the start, racing against him for many of them. The number of

:31:01. > :31:07.people who turned out to celebrate its showed the high regard in which

:31:07. > :31:11.they hold the Jenson Button. question, he was a fresh-faced 19-

:31:11. > :31:15.year-old when he started in Melbourne. He is well-liked and

:31:15. > :31:21.well respected in the paddock, he was a very popular world champion

:31:21. > :31:25.and it is marked out by the amount of people who came out to the

:31:25. > :31:29.communications centre, to help celebrate. We can see the drivers

:31:30. > :31:34.who turned up. Another 40 to go before Jenson gets close do David

:31:34. > :31:42.Coulthard. Look at those two having a conversation. Lewis Hamilton and

:31:42. > :31:48.Fernando Alonso. This was Jenson's first ever win. It arrived here in

:31:48. > :31:55.Hungary. It was a case of him taking advantage of white dry

:31:56. > :32:04.conditions. He loves it. He is the master of these things. He has a

:32:05. > :32:09.great ability of feeling the track. He has a great ability to

:32:09. > :32:13.understand what is going on with the track, and the grip level. That

:32:13. > :32:19.has stood him in great stead, because that is where he has won

:32:20. > :32:23.his classic races. Jenson, starting from third on the grid, means he is

:32:23. > :32:28.starting on the queenside. Many drivers have said that the

:32:28. > :32:36.discrepancy between the clean and the dirty side is huge -- on the

:32:36. > :32:41.clean side. It is quite a dusty area where the Budapest track is

:32:41. > :32:45.situated. You can lose a whole grid position, starting on the dirty

:32:45. > :32:51.side. He will be reasonably satisfied, I think he will be the

:32:51. > :32:57.man most Abid for these tricky conditions that we have to start

:32:57. > :33:02.this Grand Prix -- the man most happy. These are live shot, Jenson

:33:02. > :33:07.gearing up for his 200th race, after his best qualifying since

:33:07. > :33:11.Monaco last year. This is Felipe Massa making his way around on to

:33:11. > :33:17.the grid. Just to show how difficult it is. It is not driving

:33:17. > :33:23.rain but there is a fair amount, look at the spray there. We looked

:33:23. > :33:33.at this carefully. We watched BGP to race. A lot of drivers puss like

:33:33. > :33:43.

:33:43. > :33:52.nasty incident. He is putting in a banker to see how he can push it in

:33:52. > :34:00.the out lap. The drivers can afford to get away with that. It allows

:34:00. > :34:05.drivers to get away with a few mistakes. Looking forward to this

:34:05. > :34:10.one? In these conditions, I think we are in for a classic Grand Prix.

:34:10. > :34:14.That man will be hoping for a classic start. He loves to get away

:34:14. > :34:21.from the start and build a 2.5 second lead in the first lap. What

:34:21. > :34:24.will happen with the weather and how will it affect the tyres?

:34:24. > :34:31.me, if we were it to start on the intermediates, how long would they

:34:31. > :34:39.last? About 20 laps. The key thing is you can see the racing line for

:34:39. > :34:44.the GP2 race. The people starting on the left-hand side will have

:34:44. > :34:47.more traction. Would you risk slicks on this? I don't think so,

:34:47. > :34:55.intermediates for sure. That man knows what he's talking about when

:34:55. > :34:59.he comes to tyres. Would you risk slicks? You would have to be

:34:59. > :35:03.desperate. You have to think about the safety aspect and think about,

:35:03. > :35:07.how am I going to get as many points as I can. At constant

:35:07. > :35:10.drizzle, it is intermediates for me. Paul Pennbury is not silly, he

:35:10. > :35:16.knows what he is talking about. Michael Schumacher's starts 9th on

:35:16. > :35:22.the grid, he knows how to drive around here, whether it is wet, dry,

:35:22. > :35:26.no matter what the conditions. has become so much more mellow, and

:35:26. > :35:33.he is driving good. Hopefully he will work this out. We can hear

:35:33. > :35:38.from Jenson Button. How is the track? It is not that wide, but

:35:38. > :35:41.very slippery. Struggling to get heat in the tyres -- not that wet.

:35:41. > :35:48.It is going to be pretty interesting in the first couple of

:35:48. > :35:53.laps. In certain areas, it is quite dry. Surprisingly, very slippery on

:35:53. > :35:58.the intermediates. You are on the right side of the track, the racing

:35:58. > :36:02.line was used for GP2, you are laughing, aren't you? Most of them

:36:02. > :36:08.drive on the inside, blocking the other cars, so I don't think it

:36:08. > :36:12.makes a big difference. Have a good race. Jenson Button, being clear,

:36:12. > :36:22.saying it is not too wet, but still very slippery. Lewis Hamilton takes

:36:22. > :36:23.

:36:23. > :36:27.a look at the first corner. It is indicative of this circuit. Not too

:36:27. > :36:33.wet, but very slippery. That is what happens when you come to a

:36:33. > :36:38.circuit that is rarely used. It is like Morse. When you get warm

:36:38. > :36:47.weather, and then rain, this thing comes up through the track. It

:36:47. > :36:51.takes a lot of races in the season. It is a very sticky in certain

:36:51. > :36:55.areas but extremely slippy in other areas. With weather like this, you

:36:56. > :37:02.are going to have a very slippery track. The rain will remain. The

:37:02. > :37:06.start of the race will begin with light rain. Ted is with Mark Webber,

:37:06. > :37:10.who starts six on the grid. Bernie Ecclestone having a chat with him

:37:10. > :37:17.as well. Hello, everything all right? Nice to see you. Was he

:37:17. > :37:24.given you some tips? He is talking about Sky... No, he wasn't.

:37:24. > :37:30.sky! Exactly. We will see how we can go up with everyone starting on

:37:30. > :37:33.intermediates. It is better to have a rise like this. You have got to

:37:33. > :37:43.make the right decisions and act as a race like this. Everything all

:37:43. > :37:52.

:37:52. > :37:58.right, there was a hydraulic leak? tyres because he was held up behind

:37:58. > :38:02.Jenson Button. After the 5th turn, his pace was matched exactly with

:38:02. > :38:06.Sebastian Vettel. He could be a dark horse. He had a really

:38:06. > :38:10.miserable qualifying session. He excels in these kind of conditions.

:38:10. > :38:14.I would be more worried if he was on pole position. He doesn't seem

:38:14. > :38:18.to be able to translate those great propositions into race wins. His

:38:18. > :38:25.best races have come off when he is fighting from behind. Paul di Resta

:38:25. > :38:35.was unlucky yesterday, a tenth away from making it into the top 10. He

:38:35. > :38:40.

:38:40. > :38:45.starts 11th, he says his aim is to forecast did not predict this at

:38:45. > :38:49.all. It seems to be developing over the track. There was a small break

:38:49. > :38:53.and you saw an influence of a dry patch, but I would say it is going

:38:53. > :38:56.to be pretty tough at the beginning, certainly to manage the tyres and

:38:56. > :39:01.see what the strategy will plant out. What tyres will suit these

:39:01. > :39:08.conditions? It is slippy but it is definitely into us at the moment,

:39:08. > :39:12.the White tyre would destroy itself -- definitely intermediates. If it

:39:12. > :39:22.does turn dry, it would be a tricky decision, whether to go prime,

:39:22. > :39:22.

:39:22. > :39:29.auction. -- or option. A good opportunity for someone like Adrian

:39:29. > :39:34.Newey. He has a good look at the Ferrari, trying to work out how the

:39:34. > :39:44.car is looking pretty quick. Adrian Sutil starts 10 having not done a

:39:44. > :39:53.

:39:53. > :39:58.lap in the final part of qualifying. are you? I don't think so. It is

:39:58. > :40:04.too dry for wet tyres. How is the track feeling on the way out to the

:40:04. > :40:09.grid? It is OK, getting better every time. It will be an

:40:09. > :40:14.interesting race. You would have preferred it to be dry? We have

:40:14. > :40:19.more chances on wet. Interesting, thank you.

:40:19. > :40:25.Good luck to Sergio, from tenth on the grid. Sauber and Force India

:40:25. > :40:28.have done something special. They tend to have a car that works well

:40:28. > :40:32.at low downforce circuits. They come to the place that Murray

:40:32. > :40:42.Walker called Monica without the houses. Force India and Sauber have

:40:42. > :40:46.

:40:46. > :40:56.grip. You put as much wine as you can in the car and make sure you

:40:56. > :41:08.

:41:08. > :41:17.bolt on as much mechanical grip -- teams are getting. Usually, it is

:41:17. > :41:20.very calm. People think it is very electric but it is very calm. I

:41:20. > :41:27.used to like to see what was going on and be part of the decision-

:41:27. > :41:31.making. Everybody on the pit lane is actually part of the process.

:41:31. > :41:36.You will find a decision is made, usually the right one. Thankfully

:41:36. > :41:41.for us, they get it wrong and we get a great race. We have lights

:41:41. > :41:45.and rain moment, we are expecting light rain for the start of the

:41:45. > :41:49.race. I hope these fans have got their umbrellas with them. We have

:41:49. > :41:53.hardly spoken about Felipe Massa, he out-qualified Fernando Alonso

:41:53. > :41:57.for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix last year, at a

:41:57. > :42:03.circuit where he had a dreadful accident in 2009. A great weekend

:42:03. > :42:10.for him. Absolutely. Everybody was overjoyed. Not necessarily that he

:42:10. > :42:14.beat his team-mate but that he was in the top four. There was huge

:42:14. > :42:19.gloom at the race a couple of years ago. We would love to see Felipe

:42:19. > :42:23.getting onto the podium, that is where he belongs. Fernando Alonso

:42:23. > :42:30.has just turned 30, maybe he's too old for this Formula 1 rubbish. The

:42:30. > :42:33.start behind Felipe Massa. You out- qualified your team mate, you are

:42:33. > :42:42.on the wrong side of the grid, how difficult do you think that will

:42:42. > :42:47.be? I think it will be very difficult. We sought it is a bit

:42:47. > :42:52.drier -- we saw it is drier on his side. The race is long, I hope we

:42:52. > :42:57.can do the best we can. How slippy was the track today? Very slippery,

:42:57. > :43:07.especially at the beginning. We need to take at the beginning.

:43:07. > :43:11.

:43:11. > :43:15.decision? It looks like an intermediates star. I think it is -

:43:15. > :43:19.- start. This sprinkling of rain is what we are predicting for the next

:43:19. > :43:24.10 or 15 minutes. The key thing is when you get on to dries, and where

:43:24. > :43:29.it goes from there. We have not seen it rained for the rest of the

:43:29. > :43:34.race, but it is possible, the showers seem to be forming over the

:43:34. > :43:42.mountains. We are trying to get the balance right because we have not

:43:42. > :43:52.run intermediates. The half wet bit of the track is the problem. We are

:43:52. > :44:02.discussing what when certain to use. -- water wheel and certain to use.

:44:02. > :44:09.

:44:09. > :44:18.Vettel is the man on pole. Sebastian Vettel's 23rd Formula 1

:44:18. > :44:24.pole position of this 2.7 Mile, 14 turn Hungaroring. 10.7 seconds of

:44:24. > :44:28.full throttle action, 185 mph. A downhill braking zone for turn one.

:44:29. > :44:38.16 metres before the corner, the front of the car, not cooked up. A

:44:39. > :44:47.

:44:47. > :44:53.are three is flat-out. Been to turn four, one of the most difficult in

:44:53. > :45:00.Formula One. That was brilliant commit bad. Turn five, and never

:45:00. > :45:06.ending right hander. 6 and 7, Chicane, just 65 mph. Very early on

:45:06. > :45:12.the throttle, this lap is really coming alive. 8 and 9, sweeping

:45:12. > :45:20.right-hander. Absolutely flat out through turn at 10. Breaking

:45:20. > :45:28.downshift for 11. Again, downhill, but a difficult braking has owned.

:45:28. > :45:35.-- a zone. 13, 70 mph, effect to the left-hand side for the final

:45:35. > :45:45.turn, 100 mph. When the tyres grip, you can really let the cargo. Over

:45:45. > :45:50.

:45:50. > :45:55.the line, pole position yet again considerable skill means that the

:45:55. > :45:58.man slipping on his helmet on the grid ahead of the Hungarian Grand

:45:58. > :46:04.Prix sits on pole position. Let's hear from his team principal

:46:04. > :46:09.Christian Horner. You can't hide under that umbrella! What are you

:46:09. > :46:17.most worried about, the rain, Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button? Fernando

:46:17. > :46:20.Alonso. Interesting. He is going to be a factor. He is. We note Lewis

:46:20. > :46:25.and Jenson will be quick. These are the worst conditions for a motor

:46:25. > :46:29.race on the pit wall, where it is on the borderline of wet conditions,

:46:29. > :46:33.strategy will be important and reading the weather will be crucial.

:46:33. > :46:38.Communication with the driver will be essential. It is the same for

:46:38. > :46:42.everybody, it will be a fascinating race. In terms of your position

:46:42. > :46:46.near the championship, what have you been telling Vettel, that he

:46:46. > :46:51.just needs to score good points? that he needs to get his head down

:46:51. > :46:55.and get on with it. He is not obsessing about the championship,

:46:55. > :46:59.he has qualified on pole and will try to have with the race but there

:46:59. > :47:03.are other factors and it will be an interesting race. Will you be

:47:03. > :47:08.relieved if you are first into the first corners with the McLaren

:47:08. > :47:14.alongside you? They tend to have good start. Yes, but conditions

:47:14. > :47:19.were changed every five Levitt -- minute. We have four set sub

:47:19. > :47:24.intermediate, for set of extreme wet and some slicks. All of them

:47:24. > :47:29.could be used today. Christian Horner calls the start the first

:47:29. > :47:34.part of the job, it is also probably half of the job. The usual

:47:34. > :47:39.shaken hands with his father for Lewis. He starts the second. --

:47:39. > :47:45.shake off Hants. The last time we saw these boys behind Vettel, he

:47:45. > :47:48.was beaten off the line in China. He will have to defend against the

:47:48. > :47:54.super-fast cars. EDDIE JORDAN: He will not want to

:47:54. > :48:00.see these two cars in particular. He knows what Lewis will do. He

:48:00. > :48:04.will have to do what he did before and move over and squeeze him. I

:48:04. > :48:09.don't think that will happen, he has a nice run on the clean side of

:48:09. > :48:14.the track. And Fernando Alonso has tipped one of the McLaren cars to

:48:14. > :48:20.win. What can he do today? That is an absolute D Kelly. We don't

:48:20. > :48:24.believe a word of it! -- decoy. It is perfect for him to spring a big

:48:24. > :48:29.surprise. We haven't spoken enough about him, he could be really

:48:29. > :48:34.dangerous in this race. As ever, the Red Bull are the cars to catch.

:48:34. > :48:37.Not many people have had our view of the front this year, it tends to

:48:38. > :48:42.be the back. The 70th anniversary of the first ever Hungarian Grand

:48:42. > :48:45.Prix. Sebastian Vettel at the front but the men right behind him know

:48:45. > :48:55.what it takes to win a round of this famous old circuit. Enjoy this

:48:55. > :49:10.

:49:10. > :49:20.you feel -- makes me feel the way world real, I say that you do.

:49:20. > :49:45.

:49:45. > :49:53.again, we have changeable and challenging conditions for the

:49:53. > :49:58.drivers. The 26th Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring. A 70 lap

:49:58. > :50:08.race, consisting of mostly slow and technical corners. That is where we

:50:08. > :50:12.

:50:12. > :50:17.are in the world. And this is the will talk about throughout the race.

:50:17. > :50:21.Tracks already split -- always split into three. Mistakes are

:50:21. > :50:26.easily made as we have seen already as the cars made their way to the

:50:26. > :50:32.grid, with Felipe Massa running up the road, testing out the level of

:50:32. > :50:42.grip. The 800 and 50th championship Grand Prix, the 200 start for

:51:21. > :51:24.dry and other car. -- under the car. So the grid is going to be dry and

:51:24. > :51:28.as soon as they pull forward at the length of the car, they will be

:51:28. > :51:33.spinning the wheels on a damp track. It will be an intermediate start,

:51:33. > :51:37.no question, so they won't have to run both of the slick tyres,

:51:37. > :51:40.presuming it dries up during the race. Each of these guys,

:51:40. > :51:46.especially Jenson Button, will be thinking, these conditions are made

:51:46. > :51:50.for May. He won his first Grand Prix in 2006 at this track in

:51:50. > :51:55.similar conditions to this. They take away the cooling fans out of

:51:55. > :52:01.the car and be the final preparations. Lewis Hamilton on the

:52:01. > :52:06.front row of the grid. It was so close in qualifying, but once again,

:52:06. > :52:14.it was Sebastian Vettel that had all the answers at the right time.

:52:14. > :52:18.One flying lap on the tyres for peak grip and he founded. -- found

:52:18. > :52:23.it. He starts on the left-hand side of the track and it is definitely

:52:23. > :52:29.drier down there. If they have a safety car start for this race,

:52:29. > :52:35.which they went, but I would write to my MP if they did, no need for

:52:35. > :52:38.anything like that. No standing water at all. We are expecting them

:52:38. > :52:44.to be on the intermediate tyre, which does that it says on the

:52:45. > :52:54.tenor, it is between the slick dry and the full wet -- on the tin.

:52:55. > :52:59.

:52:59. > :53:09.Alonso for a strong performance today. Webber with performances

:53:09. > :53:48.

:53:48. > :53:53.look at that surface. We saw the GP to race start in similar conditions

:53:53. > :53:57.to this. Only one driver chose slick tyres and he didn't get very

:53:57. > :54:07.far before he fell off the road but it wasn't long until they used the

:54:07. > :54:11.slicks. GP two doesn't benefit from tyre blankets. So the ability for

:54:11. > :54:16.the Formula One cars to get on to a slick is definitely on damper

:54:16. > :54:20.conditions, because you have the benefit of having 80 or 90 degrees

:54:20. > :54:24.surface temperature on that slick tyres. But that won't be the case

:54:24. > :54:29.for several laps and if it keeps drizzling, it won't happen.

:54:29. > :54:35.practice start is critical. The exact amount of grip they have of

:54:35. > :54:42.their grid box. Immediately, they get away and the teams will be

:54:42. > :54:47.furiously calculating what the clutch by two. Should be. They will.

:54:47. > :54:51.-- biting point should be. If you are on the third rd, for instance,

:54:51. > :54:55.you will go off fog your dry patch and you will run on to the

:54:55. > :54:58.slaughter in front of the which will also be dry. So look out for

:54:58. > :55:08.the front row been under some pressure from the rows behind into

:55:08. > :55:10.

:55:10. > :55:13.the first corner. -- slot. And the McLaren have repeatedly Mal KERS

:55:13. > :55:19.capacity than the Red Bull, which could give Lewis Hamilton an

:55:19. > :55:26.advantage into the first corner. we saw seven days ago in Germany.

:55:26. > :55:31.Do you think you could see that extra grip... TEAM RADIO: It is a

:55:31. > :55:36.long race, changeable conditions, you just need to be on the track at

:55:36. > :55:43.the end and you will get some points. No heroics and drive and

:55:43. > :55:49.intelligent race. Wise information there from Adrian Sutil passport --

:55:49. > :55:53.for Adrian Sutil. You have to say something to make sure the radio is

:55:53. > :55:58.working and calm the driver down. We saw Nico Rosberg, while Adrian

:55:58. > :56:05.Sutil was being told to take it easy, flying off the track in turn

:56:05. > :56:13.four. So it is obviously extremely slippery. But the arrest doesn't

:56:13. > :56:23.normally come in until the end of a second lap. A key issue a very

:56:23. > :56:24.

:56:24. > :56:28.slight advantage. Just to discuss, this is the first time they have

:56:28. > :56:36.run with full tanks on a damp track, so they have to find out what the

:56:36. > :56:40.car is going to do when they are driving at speed on the first lap.

:56:40. > :56:45.Getting they heat surface temperature into those rear tyres,

:56:45. > :56:50.but it is difficult, because you are damaging them. The detection,

:56:50. > :56:54.if they switch it on, the white line is where they can open at the

:56:54. > :57:02.rear wing and you sit down at the pit straight until they hit the

:57:02. > :57:06.brakes. -- and you sit down the pit straight. I don't think it will be

:57:07. > :57:16.that effective. We will find out, it is the overall level of grip

:57:16. > :57:21.that matters. And as you say, it is... Where do they brake in the

:57:21. > :57:25.first corner? It is unknown. But get a Vettel must be the mantra of

:57:26. > :57:30.23 of those drivers. Who has the appetite in Hungary to take the

:57:30. > :57:35.title fight to the championship leader? Five lights disappearing

:57:35. > :57:45.will signal the desperate scrabble for a grip away from the grid. We

:57:45. > :57:51.

:57:51. > :57:57.those Riad tyres? At the moment, it is Vettel down to the first corner.

:57:57. > :58:03.Hamilton second at the moment. Jenson Sid the holding his third

:58:03. > :58:09.place, everybody sliding wide -- seems to be. At the Jenson Button

:58:09. > :58:17.is up the inside of Hamilton down into turn two. It is the best place

:58:17. > :58:23.to be but can he keep the speed? And look at Nico Rosberg, up into

:58:23. > :58:29.fourth place. Michael Schumacher attacking him. Up the hill towards

:58:29. > :58:35.turn four. Both of the Mercedes flying off the grid ahead of both

:58:35. > :58:40.of the Ferrari. Paul di Resta has had a very good start. Jenson

:58:41. > :58:46.Button sideways through turn five. And Michael Schumacher... There is

:58:46. > :58:54.Paul di Resta ahead of Adrian Sutil, Ben Kobayashi, Petrov. Nico Rosberg

:58:54. > :59:00.will have to yield to Jenson Button. And Fernando Alonso, behind both of

:59:00. > :59:04.the Mercedes. Really struggling for some grip. You can see that Vettel

:59:04. > :59:11.got a flying start and was not under any pressure to the first

:59:11. > :59:21.corner. Michael Schumacher being passed on the outside buyer Alonso.

:59:21. > :59:21.

:59:21. > :59:26.alongside Lewis Hamilton on that have run down to turn two. I

:59:26. > :59:32.thought he had him. Schumacher at pipped the wheel into the slippery

:59:32. > :59:41.Curbar. That was about pride, he was not going to be passed down the

:59:41. > :59:47.outside. Down the pit straight. Fernando Alonso pretty much taking

:59:47. > :59:51.Michael Schumacher at which side he wanted to. Schumacher coming back

:59:51. > :00:01.up the inside, they will be looking to keep his tyres as cool as they

:00:01. > :00:08.

:00:08. > :00:17.can. When they start overheating traction control these days. It

:00:17. > :00:27.looks like rally driving. Hamilton is right on Vettel's tale. Very

:00:27. > :01:01.

:01:01. > :01:05.down to 19th. Sutil has come from seems to be finding some grip. You

:01:05. > :01:10.heard Lewis Hamilton could not get to full power on the run out into

:01:10. > :01:17.the chicane, the run out of turn five. Incredibly difficult

:01:17. > :01:22.conditions. What we saw on Thursday is there is no drainage in these

:01:22. > :01:31.curbs, so a lot of water sits in the gully that is there. We need to

:01:31. > :01:36.watch out that no one gets too wide. Michael takes a wide line to try to

:01:36. > :01:41.get the car straight and the power open as early as possible. Red Bull

:01:41. > :01:46.do not have an advantage in these conditions. Vettel is under

:01:46. > :01:52.pressure from Hamilton. Alonso has made it past Rosberg, look at this

:01:52. > :01:58.for the lead! Vettel on the inside. Hamilton runs out of road.

:01:58. > :02:03.Desperately trying to get some power into the racetrack. Hasted

:02:03. > :02:13.down shift in the middle of term three, it is so slow, and the

:02:13. > :02:26.

:02:26. > :02:36.inters. Felipe Massa is one second quicker than the leader of the

:02:36. > :02:46.

:02:47. > :02:52.Grand Prix. Look at the launch he a great start. Difficult for the

:02:53. > :02:58.drivers to see. Great wheel-to- wheel action for the McLarens.

:02:58. > :03:05.is where the Ferrari lost ground. Ferrari were too cautious and had

:03:05. > :03:10.no speed in the exit. We are on board with Jenson Button. He got a

:03:10. > :03:20.great start. You can see them deploying the KERS. The front wing,

:03:20. > :03:26.

:03:26. > :03:31.almost touching the left will of be a matter of time before he finds

:03:31. > :03:37.a way past Sebastian Vettel. Alonso is on the back of Button as well.

:03:37. > :03:46.Hamilton goes up the inside him to turn two! Vettel will hang it out

:03:46. > :03:55.around the outside. We have a Ferrari going wide, I believe that

:03:55. > :04:05.was Alonso. He has dropped in behind Rosberg. Well spotted. Nico

:04:05. > :04:10.

:04:10. > :04:15.Rosberg is well back into third see where he is -- his grip is?

:04:15. > :04:21.think he is quicker and he is trying to find the grip. Alonso

:04:21. > :04:28.gets a tyre on to the painted white line, and goes for safety. Rosberg

:04:28. > :04:33.is able to run around the outside. Lucky that he only lost one place.

:04:33. > :04:40.Alonso is losing a lot of time. Four or five seconds behind the

:04:40. > :04:44.leaders. A drier track, the tyres are burning a patch in the

:04:44. > :04:50.racetrack. Why have they got such little grip? I think it is the

:04:50. > :04:56.nature of the track surface. It is an old track surface. It is

:04:56. > :05:01.whipping out all of the dirt and residue from previous races. --

:05:01. > :05:06.weeping out. You cannot afford to be the first man who is too early

:05:06. > :05:11.on the slick tyres. This is going to be a nail-biter for the

:05:11. > :05:17.strategists. Lewis Hamilton, positioning himself on the outside

:05:17. > :05:25.to try to get a drive straight on that car. Surely he must get

:05:25. > :05:30.alongside Sebastian, being cautious on the brakes. He takes the lead.

:05:30. > :05:38.Hamilton takes the lead as Vettel can find no grip whatsoever.

:05:38. > :05:44.Hamilton forces Vettel into a mistake. Hamilton had the DRS

:05:44. > :05:49.available down the pit straight into turn one. The McLaren tends to

:05:49. > :05:54.be quicker in a straight line anyway. Webber is in seventh place,

:05:54. > :05:58.eight seconds off the lead. The other Red Bull, down to second

:05:58. > :06:02.place, as Hamilton begins to build a lead. Jenson Button, next up to

:06:02. > :06:09.have a go at the championship leader. This will give you an idea

:06:09. > :06:17.of how little grip they have got. They are 28 seconds slower than

:06:17. > :06:26.they were in qualifying. Sebastien, once he got a wheel on the white

:06:26. > :06:34.line, it was a replay of what we saw with Alonso. He had to let the

:06:34. > :06:38.car run wide rather than risk a spin. He can't relax on anything.

:06:38. > :06:44.It looks like it is one of those were you have got to drive every

:06:44. > :06:54.metre of the racetrack, otherwise it will surprise you. Pretty dry it,

:06:54. > :06:54.

:06:54. > :07:03.tyres as cool as possible. RADIO: You can use the yellow

:07:03. > :07:13.button to overtake Vettel. That is probably engine note. There is no

:07:13. > :07:20.

:07:20. > :07:30.point hiding the fact that it is Barrichello is 13th at the moment -

:07:30. > :07:34.

:07:34. > :07:41.harder. They only have a certain amount of engines for the season

:07:41. > :07:51.and you want to Abridge that across the season. -- average that. If

:07:51. > :07:59.

:07:59. > :08:04.they used to many full engine note, quicker than Vettel on that lap.

:08:04. > :08:13.Hamilton now, the fastest first sector, Vettel, the fastest middle

:08:13. > :08:19.sector. It is the mechanical grip, the McLaren has great grip.

:08:19. > :08:26.RADIO: The rain threat is reducing, no rain expected for 20 minutes.

:08:26. > :08:30.soon as the red lights went out for the start, its stock raining. -- it

:08:30. > :08:35.stopped raining. Teams have been urging their drivers to look after

:08:35. > :08:43.the tyres, they want to stretch out this stint for eight or nine laps.

:08:43. > :08:49.That would suit them, if they have to go on to slicks. Alonso versus

:08:49. > :08:55.Massa into term one. It looks like Felipe Massa made no attempt to

:08:55. > :09:00.stop the team leader from passing him. This is why Alonso was behind

:09:00. > :09:10.him. He made his second mistake of the race. It allowed Massa back

:09:10. > :09:14.through. This is Massa passing game. Massa basically had to let him

:09:14. > :09:19.straight back through. That is how I read it. Did you see Massa

:09:19. > :09:23.fighting for that? There was not a great deal of fighting going on.

:09:23. > :09:29.Massa earned the right to be the fastest in qualifying, but he is

:09:29. > :09:36.now the second for Ross -- Ferrari on the track. Webber has passed

:09:36. > :09:46.Schumacher and is on the back on the Ferraris. Paul di Resta is

:09:46. > :09:47.

:09:47. > :09:51.right behind him in ninth, to slicks, you just hope a

:09:51. > :09:57.midfielder does that brave move and starts to give you some information,

:09:57. > :10:07.sector by sector. Who is going to be first to bling? When we were

:10:07. > :10:22.

:10:22. > :10:29.doing the Pirelli filming -- the exactly when you have to put those

:10:29. > :10:33.tyres on. Alonso, looking at Rosberg. He looked much faster, but

:10:33. > :10:37.he has been off twice, and he is completely out of position. You

:10:37. > :10:44.would think Alonso would be up there with Button and Vettel had he

:10:44. > :10:49.not been making errors. He is only 10 seconds from the leader. That is

:10:49. > :10:56.Massa, into the tyres. Does he keep the car running? That is in the

:10:56. > :11:06.exit of turn two. An unusual place, where we saw Alonso and Vettel

:11:06. > :11:07.

:11:07. > :11:11.running wide. Exactly the same. There you go. A lesson for Massa.

:11:11. > :11:16.Alonso and Vettel allowed the car to run wide. He tried to fight it,

:11:16. > :11:20.and that is what happens. He dipped the right rear tyre on to the shiny

:11:20. > :11:28.green paint, and went straight to the scene of the slight touch with

:11:28. > :11:33.the wall. I am sure his real winner should have coped with that. He is

:11:33. > :11:39.behind di Resta and Schumacher now. This is Rosberg and Alonso. Di

:11:39. > :11:45.Resta will be up to eighth. Schumacher up to seventh. Massa is

:11:45. > :11:50.behind in ninth. The frantic activity in the pit lane, not

:11:50. > :11:58.because they are expecting a car in, but all of the Red Bull, McLaren

:11:58. > :12:04.and Ferrari boys are trying to drive the -- dry the pit boxes.

:12:04. > :12:09.Look at Alonso's rear wing, the drag reduction system, that has put

:12:09. > :12:13.him alongside, and he has more grip in the braking zone, has he ever

:12:13. > :12:19.done it? He will get much better traction, he can straighten the

:12:19. > :12:25.cart earlier than Rosberg, and he drives off into the distance.

:12:25. > :12:31.RADIO: There is a gap developing behind you. When you feel it is

:12:31. > :12:37.time to pit, it is your call. There is a gap behind you. The track will

:12:37. > :12:42.be drying from now. Hamilton, 5.5 seconds in front of that cockpit.

:12:42. > :12:50.Alonso can start to close the gap down to Button, if he has got the

:12:50. > :12:57.speed. Button, seven seconds behind Hamilton in third place. Ted has

:12:57. > :13:04.some news from Mercedes. Their inters are starting to wear out.

:13:04. > :13:08.Michael Schumacher is in trouble with his inters. Before I left at

:13:08. > :13:14.Red Bull, they have eight tyres for each car in the garage, they don't

:13:14. > :13:24.know whether to put on slinks -- slicks or if they have to put more

:13:24. > :13:28.

:13:28. > :13:34.into us on. -- more inters. With the bridge don't intermediates,

:13:34. > :13:39.they would go faster -- Bridgestone intermediates. The philosophy of

:13:39. > :13:46.these tyres is not the same. Bridgestone had more Gage at the

:13:46. > :13:54.bottom of the tread pattern which gave you the sensation. I believe

:13:54. > :13:59.Pirelli goes to the surface. Ferrari will be the first to blink.

:13:59. > :14:04.False alarm. It would make sense for Ferrari to get Massa in there,

:14:04. > :14:10.to give them some information, he has dropped down to ninth.

:14:10. > :14:19.RADIO: Think about from where we are now, we probably can take a bit

:14:19. > :14:24.of a risk. And give Fernandez some interesting information. It would

:14:24. > :14:28.did everybody else that information as well. It looks a risk, just

:14:28. > :14:38.driving around the racetrack. It looks like he has met a shark

:14:38. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:49.sponsored logos than doing any great deal for the aerodynamics so

:14:49. > :14:54.that will not affect it that much. Something knocked off the front

:14:54. > :14:59.wing would be more powerful. Fernando Alonso is the man put in

:14:59. > :15:06.the lap times, he is the fastest man at there. Sebastian Vettel is

:15:06. > :15:11.matching Hamilton. Lap 10. But in his third, Fernando Alonso is 4th,

:15:11. > :15:19.Mark Webber in 6th place and catching Rosberg. Schumacher, 20

:15:19. > :15:24.seconds off the lead. Closely followed by to restive. -- Paul di

:15:24. > :15:33.Resta. They will have some action, the Ferrari crew are out. Mark

:15:33. > :15:37.Webber into the pit lane, the first man. That will be an experience. If

:15:37. > :15:42.you can keep enough temperature down that wet pit lane, and Ferrari

:15:42. > :15:50.will bring in Felipe Massa, and we can see the Toro Rosso in the

:15:50. > :15:53.background. There is fully been massive. We have Petrov and

:15:53. > :16:00.Barrichello in the pits. Mark Webber, the problem is when you

:16:00. > :16:04.come out, you are straight into the damp part of the race attack. --

:16:04. > :16:10.race track. Mark Webber really struggling, they lose so much

:16:10. > :16:15.temperature and pressure. If you cannot get out there, get on it

:16:15. > :16:25.straight away. And the actual train track of the dry circuit that you

:16:25. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:29.have is so narrow, you have got no margin for error. This looks like

:16:30. > :16:34.it just might be one lap too early, given how wet it is in the first

:16:34. > :16:43.sector. Other parts will definitely be quicker on the slick rather than

:16:43. > :16:47.intermediate. They're probably at 60 or 70 degrees centigrade on the

:16:47. > :16:52.track. And that isn't enough. Mark Webber has got some work to do to

:16:52. > :17:02.bring them back up. In the Middle Park, he can start to let the car

:17:02. > :17:03.

:17:03. > :17:07.up a little bit. But in fancies a set of slick tyres. He loves these

:17:07. > :17:17.conditions, when they cranked the front wing they have to compensate

:17:17. > :17:19.

:17:19. > :17:23.between slick and intermediate. depends on how the cars are

:17:23. > :17:29.affected by the different profile of the intermediate tyres. I would

:17:29. > :17:33.not argue with that. Sideways on the braking some. Very difficult to

:17:33. > :17:37.get the tyres up to temperature. Now he gets on to the dry surface.

:17:37. > :17:41.He will be able to build temperature and can go hard on to

:17:41. > :17:46.the brakes. He should be able to maintain possession. Kobayashi

:17:46. > :17:51.behind him. That is very reminiscent of when Jensen Button

:17:51. > :17:59.won for McLaren in Australia last year. It looks like he went too

:17:59. > :18:05.early on those tyres but he somehow kept it together. Felipe Massa,.

:18:05. > :18:11.Let's look at the sector times. This is Mark Webber. Very wide on

:18:11. > :18:17.the last corner. Much more traction coming off the last corner. The

:18:17. > :18:21.trouble is, he has to go out of the dry patch and when he does, the

:18:21. > :18:27.Toro Rosso goes out of the way and gives them that nice dry track.

:18:27. > :18:33.Lewis Hamilton pits from the lead. At the end of lap 11. Sebastian

:18:33. > :18:40.Vettel follows him in for Red Bull. This is another pit-stop race.

:18:40. > :18:43.Brand new tyres. Only the front runners, only Hamilton had a brand

:18:43. > :18:50.new set available and that could be pretty handy because they heat up

:18:50. > :18:54.faster? As long as you can get to releasing agent off the surface.

:18:54. > :18:59.There is Michael Schumacher coming through the picture as well. He is

:18:59. > :19:04.yet to stop so he is right up with the leaders at the moment. Jensen

:19:04. > :19:07.Button will still be in for third place. Fernando Alonso rejoins and

:19:07. > :19:15.Rosberg coming out of the pits and Kobayashi has had a trip through

:19:16. > :19:20.the pits, too. Mark Webber, the new fastest lap. Three seconds faster

:19:20. > :19:27.than they were doing. Maybe he got that absolutely right. We will see

:19:27. > :19:31.when they finish their out laps. That is surprising, other than the

:19:31. > :19:34.glory of a leading, he would do that extra lap, because the

:19:34. > :19:42.evidence is there that the second and third sectors are absolutely

:19:42. > :19:46.sec. He is ahead at Hamilton on the road and in the race. Hamilton will

:19:46. > :19:54.have so much more grip, now. Now that the track has really come to

:19:54. > :20:00.them. Judgment calls have been good, they have been impressive. This is

:20:00. > :20:05.a new option... Indeed it is, at brand new set of super soft tyres

:20:05. > :20:10.and Hamilton fancies a look up the inside. Treating the back of

:20:10. > :20:17.Schumacher's car like a donkey. Surely, Schumacher is coming into

:20:17. > :20:27.the pits on the slap? He must be. To get that set of sex.

:20:27. > :20:28.

:20:28. > :20:32.Unfortunately, Michael will not lead. -- slicks. Sebastian Vettel

:20:32. > :20:39.is getting ever closer, that worked well for Jensen Button. The DRS,

:20:39. > :20:46.the rear wing wide open. He hones in on the Red Bull. He almost gets

:20:46. > :20:51.a little nudge, come on! Get on with it, says Jenson Button. He can

:20:51. > :20:55.get up the inside? He did not have any choice. Button takes over,

:20:55. > :21:03.second place in the Grand Prix. This is Mark Webber, coming past

:21:03. > :21:07.Alonso. That was absolutely the right thing to do. We question that,

:21:07. > :21:13.but it was right. He has got those tyres working night and he is

:21:13. > :21:20.coming back through. He is ahead of Fernando Alonso. So, McLaren,

:21:20. > :21:29.McLaren, Red Bull, Red Bull, Ferrari. That is the top five. Look

:21:29. > :21:35.at that, he gets on to the power so early. We do not know if he has got

:21:35. > :21:39.his Kers system activated. This is the other overtake that we sell.

:21:39. > :21:43.Mark Webber the man coming out of turn number one with better grip

:21:43. > :21:47.and traction and confidence and that is all about the drivers, the

:21:47. > :21:51.ones who pitted 1 lap earlier, they know what to expect. More

:21:51. > :21:55.experience on the racetrack. That is absolutely correct and we are

:21:55. > :21:59.seeing underlying pace difference, which means the Red Bull and the

:21:59. > :22:03.Ferrari at this stage, it looks like Ferrari on the intermediates,

:22:03. > :22:12.but they were able to unleash something but at around 140 kilos

:22:12. > :22:18.of fuel on board the super soft tyres, you don't seem to have it.

:22:18. > :22:28.Do not overlap the brakes and throttle, if you can. That will be

:22:28. > :22:38.to not waste fuel. He has gone wide. Hispania, the HRT, slightly

:22:38. > :22:41.

:22:41. > :22:46.uncomfortable. Mark Webber got away with that one. Madden added, under

:22:46. > :22:50.investigation for speeding in the pit lane. Now 13 for Williams at

:22:50. > :22:55.the moment. And Fernando Alonso will be cursing himself for not

:22:55. > :23:01.being close enough to make that position up when Mark Webber made

:23:01. > :23:06.that mistake. At 15, Hamilton leading batten by 5.2 seconds.

:23:06. > :23:12.Further 1.2 ahead from third place, Sebastian Vettel. We are confirming

:23:12. > :23:15.the drive-through penalty for Pastor Maldonado. Ted... The early

:23:15. > :23:19.stoppers to have the advantage of the pit stops, Felipe Massa was

:23:19. > :23:22.also an early stopper and to explain, he had a problem in the

:23:22. > :23:27.pit stop and lost five seconds, that is why he is so far down the

:23:27. > :23:33.field. The same for Petrov, his problem caused and six seconds,

:23:33. > :23:38.they should have had better pit stops. Thank you. Kovaleinen under

:23:38. > :23:46.investigation for that on-site release from his pit stop. There it

:23:46. > :23:51.is, confirmation. Only lap 16. I am really enjoying this! And so was

:23:51. > :24:01.Lewis Hamilton on lap 16. Is that rain coming down? It might just be

:24:01. > :24:01.

:24:01. > :24:07.spray? It isn't raining out there, it must just be the spray being

:24:07. > :24:11.kicked up. Hamilton leads by 6.5 seconds. That is how much she is

:24:11. > :24:17.enjoying this grand prix. Certainly at this point. And the red light

:24:17. > :24:23.flicking on the back of Button. It is mandatory to put that on when on

:24:23. > :24:27.the wet conditions. Normally what happens is you we select the switch

:24:27. > :24:32.in the cockpit because it's a different size, the circumference,

:24:32. > :24:36.the intermediate and the slick. Full wet is even bigger again. You

:24:36. > :24:40.can only do this witch in the cockpit which not only switches off

:24:40. > :24:44.the light but it resets the Rolling distance of the slick tyres so

:24:44. > :24:47.McLaren obviously have a separate setting. Only a driver who recently

:24:47. > :24:55.stepped out of a car could think about that and that is a very

:24:55. > :25:00.important point. Just to remind you, the intermediate tyres have raised

:25:01. > :25:05.the car a quarter of an inch and wet tyres raise it by five mm. And

:25:05. > :25:08.then you have a different rodding circumference from the tyres and

:25:08. > :25:12.you want different engine electronics and engine settings and

:25:12. > :25:22.David suggests that at the moment, Jensen Button is in the halfway

:25:22. > :25:32.house with that. Hamilton is four tenths quicker than Button.

:25:32. > :25:33.

:25:33. > :25:38.Sebastian Vettel, seven. It clear. -- 7.8. The top five governed by a

:25:38. > :25:42.16 seconds. Button, Sebastian Vettel, fighting for second and

:25:42. > :25:47.third. Felipe Massa is back up the 9th place and is closing down

:25:47. > :25:54.Michael Schumacher quickly. there been a mistake from Lewis

:25:54. > :25:58.Hamilton in the first sector? Half a second quicker in that first part

:25:58. > :26:03.of the lap. These conditions perfectly set the driving style of

:26:03. > :26:09.Jensen Button. We will have very play in that moment of Hamilton

:26:09. > :26:16.running wide. -- you will have a replay. And he has swapped at

:26:16. > :26:20.around again. The battle for 4th place, Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso.

:26:20. > :26:25.These boys are fighting like crazy for the best of the rest in the

:26:25. > :26:35.championship. ABBA, Hamilton and Fernando Alonso covered by just

:26:35. > :26:40.

:26:40. > :26:45.nine points. Jensen Button had hydraulic issues last week at the

:26:45. > :26:49.German Grand Prix. DRS wide open on the Ferrari. But so effective as it

:26:49. > :26:53.has been because this straight is simply not long enough, just under

:26:54. > :26:57.10 seconds. At its junior in to turn number one without really

:26:57. > :27:03.putting his side by side. What can you do? It's the only place on the

:27:03. > :27:07.circuit you can have it? Were we to put this in Monaco? It is the

:27:07. > :27:11.nature of the track and it does give you 10 kilometres an hour top

:27:11. > :27:16.speed better and you would take that as a gift of any day of the

:27:16. > :27:20.week and McLaren, running quicker than Red Bull anyway, that is 14

:27:20. > :27:27.kilometres faster. These are the fastest two drivers in the race.

:27:27. > :27:32.Fighting each other, 4th and 5th place. Have a second quicker than

:27:32. > :27:36.the three drivers in front. On that lap, anyway. And there is

:27:36. > :27:42.confirmation of the fastest lap. Nine seconds away from pole

:27:42. > :27:47.position. We have seen drivers spin off the track in Germany for less

:27:47. > :27:53.than the amount they just did. And in wet Tarmac rather than that

:27:53. > :27:58.artificial grass that he saw Schumacher and Vettel spinning off.

:27:58. > :28:02.I am with McLaren and Jonathan Beale, the team manager, says it is

:28:02. > :28:06.just about looking after tyres, they can see some rain coming in

:28:06. > :28:10.but they want to only make two more stops if it stays dry and if the

:28:10. > :28:16.super soft tyres will last and we think they will last about 18 laps

:28:16. > :28:20.so that is marginal. He says that everything is fine, he noted that

:28:20. > :28:24.slows sector time for Lewis Hamilton and says the car is fine

:28:24. > :28:32.and no problems down here otherwise. We could see huge amounts of

:28:32. > :28:38.discarded rubber lying on the side of the race track. There is a chat

:28:38. > :28:42.again. Felipe Massa. HRT losing part of the front wing. That is the

:28:42. > :28:45.third time this weekend I have seen something coming off that car.

:28:45. > :28:53.or upsetting when the car starts going faster when it loses critical

:28:53. > :28:58.aerodynamics. The overtake from Nick Heidfeld. I don't think the

:28:58. > :29:07.Titanic's ago would have stopped that, he was too deep. He went for

:29:07. > :29:16.one place and lost to! There is a long way to go. You should have the

:29:16. > :29:23.T R S... Fastest in first sector. He should have been a driver, he is

:29:24. > :29:29.wasted as an engineer! The Lotus has just been declared, no further

:29:29. > :29:33.action. Kovaleinen, 15th place. He can stay there. He does not have to

:29:33. > :29:41.come through the pits. He is lapping it two seconds off the pace.

:29:41. > :29:46.It's going well for it is. Look at Paul di Resta, 7th place. Behind

:29:46. > :29:51.Nico Rosberg. And he is catching him pretty quickly. Another

:29:51. > :30:01.sensational performance. Adrian Sutil had a very poor start. He

:30:01. > :30:13.

:30:13. > :30:17.started in eighth place. Intensity come. There is Paul di Resta.

:30:17. > :30:22.teams have spotters, they don't rely purely on the satellite

:30:22. > :30:28.information. I think the Red Bull, one of their spotters at the

:30:28. > :30:34.Nurburgring got arrested for being in a place he wasn't allowed to be,

:30:34. > :30:44.he was brought back to the paddock in a police van. It is a risky job.

:30:44. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:53.You put your spotters up wind, not downwind. It was a trick question,

:30:53. > :30:57.and he didn't get it! Jarno Trulli drops out of the Grand Prix. The

:30:57. > :31:03.one and only retirement so far. It is a shame, he has been getting

:31:03. > :31:09.better this weekend. He likes the speed and the feel of his steering.

:31:09. > :31:13.Jarno Trulli takes no farther apart. Felipe Massa, a man he learnt so

:31:13. > :31:17.much from was Michael Schumacher, when they were team-mates at

:31:18. > :31:23.Ferrari. He has got to put the knowledge to good use, to try to

:31:23. > :31:30.pass him. They are 36 seconds off the lead, fighting over eighth and

:31:30. > :31:37.ninth. Towards the end of Michael's career, he was able to beat him

:31:37. > :31:42.than square on the racetrack. -- fair and square. It seems the

:31:42. > :31:47.Mercedes car has such good speed on the front straight, that the

:31:47. > :31:54.Ferrari looks like it has too much drag. He needs to get in the DRS

:31:54. > :32:04.zone do have any chance -- to have any chance. Michael looks steady on

:32:04. > :32:09.

:32:09. > :32:16.the confidence, the knowledge -- the grip is coming off. A track is

:32:16. > :32:24.a living sink. You have got to compensate -- a living thing. You

:32:24. > :32:30.have to compensate for the tyres to start to degrade. We were expecting

:32:30. > :32:40.18 or 19 laps. Maldonado has three brand new SATs, he did not use any

:32:40. > :32:47.

:32:47. > :32:57.eighth and ninth. The fastest man, again, Mark Webber, 6.7 seconds

:32:57. > :33:01.

:33:01. > :33:08.I would go to Ferrari. They say it is OK, Alonso's tyres are warming

:33:08. > :33:13.up nicely and he is doing comparable times to the rest.

:33:13. > :33:18.Felipe Massa, exactly the opposite. His race is ruined courtesy of

:33:18. > :33:22.Michael Schumacher, he is losing two seconds a lap, probably a

:33:22. > :33:28.second and a half. It seems that the Mercedes tyres have gone but

:33:29. > :33:34.Massa can't pass. We had a shot of Michael Schumacher in front of

:33:34. > :33:39.Felipe Massa. Massa had DRS open and was still not making much

:33:39. > :33:44.headway. It seems the Mercedes car is set up to have good straight

:33:44. > :33:48.line speed. The downside of that is you don't have the downforce in the

:33:48. > :33:58.middle sector. I am hearing from the BBC

:33:58. > :34:01.

:34:01. > :34:06.detectives, a oil League for Jarno Trulli. -- a oil leak. Second place

:34:06. > :34:14.man, Button, 8.5 seconds off the lead, but a bit faster than Lewis

:34:14. > :34:24.last time around. Mark Webber, beginning to leave Fernando Alonso.

:34:24. > :34:41.

:34:41. > :34:46.18.7 seconds covers the top five, This is Maldonado on Kovalainen. He

:34:46. > :34:54.had a drive through as well. For speeding in the pit lane. Sutil, up

:34:54. > :34:59.into 16th. Massa, around the outside of turn two. That is what

:34:59. > :35:09.put him behind Schumacher in the first place. Did he have a

:35:09. > :35:14.

:35:14. > :35:22.wheelspin on the wet kerb? the scale and it is what these guys

:35:22. > :35:30.love to feel. It is frightening but fear focuses the mind. Schumacher,

:35:30. > :35:36.not ready to give up any ground took his former protege and team

:35:36. > :35:41.mate. He declared his undying love for Ferrari for the rest of his

:35:41. > :35:46.days, before he went to Mercedes- Benz, that is. I thought it was

:35:46. > :35:49.funny when we had the feature on fuel, they have a street named

:35:49. > :35:54.after Michael Schumacher. I wonder if he felt like taking the signpost

:35:54. > :36:04.down when he signed for Mercedes. did an interview just after that

:36:04. > :36:18.

:36:18. > :36:23.moment. rear? I did not here, but he has

:36:23. > :36:33.done 12 laps on his tyres, and we are getting into the area where we

:36:33. > :36:41.

:36:41. > :36:45.will start to see I degradation -- time. Maybe he bolted too hard on

:36:45. > :36:53.the way out of the pits. How long he was off the throttle, he is just

:36:53. > :36:59.waiting and waiting. They are still eight seconds of qualifying time.

:36:59. > :37:07.The vortices are boiling off the rear ring as the car gets the top

:37:07. > :37:11.speed -- rear wing. Button has close the gap to 6.3 seconds. 1.5

:37:11. > :37:20.seconds faster on the previous lap. That's incredible. He find some

:37:20. > :37:24.grit from his tyres. We have seen this before with the Renault. Was

:37:24. > :37:31.it in Barcelona? Some of the bodywork. At the time, we question

:37:31. > :37:35.whether it could only be body work. Unless they have got a oil line.

:37:35. > :37:41.possible safety car situation. The exhausts go all the way to the

:37:41. > :37:46.front of the side pods on the Renault. We have seen this before.

:37:47. > :37:54.Clearly, a fire... Was that a sort of an explosion? On the side of the

:37:54. > :37:58.car that hit the marshal? It has blown the side out of the car. All

:37:58. > :38:02.over the racetrack. It is in the pit lane zone, you are not allowed

:38:02. > :38:07.to cross the white line. I think they are going to have to put the

:38:07. > :38:14.safety car out. Look, already kicking, it has caught fire

:38:14. > :38:19.straight out of the pits. He came in for a pit stop, they had a

:38:19. > :38:26.problem on the rear tyre, the engine was overheating itself, oil

:38:26. > :38:30.and smoke was coming out. We will replay the team radio. As he went

:38:30. > :38:36.down the pit lane, it looked like the engine was about to blow.

:38:36. > :38:39.didn't get the team radio. There were pieces of engine. Now we have

:38:39. > :38:43.drivers pitting, they have to go through the debris, they are not

:38:43. > :38:49.allowed to cross the line or they get a penalty. It looks as if there

:38:49. > :38:57.is just enough space. Alonso has been in, Kovalainen and Paris. They

:38:57. > :39:02.have decided to use that. -- Kovalainen and Perez. It is a smart

:39:02. > :39:09.move, they are getting into when they would have stopped any way,

:39:09. > :39:16.and would the safety car come out? There is no safety car at this

:39:16. > :39:21.moment, so they haven't really lost anything. To play devil's advocate,

:39:21. > :39:26.if the safety car doesn't come out, surely it hasn't worked, has it?

:39:26. > :39:30.is not a question of that, they haven't really lost out too much.

:39:30. > :39:36.They have and 14 laps on these super soft tyres. You put them on

:39:36. > :39:40.when you have 140 kilos of fuel on board, you take much more out of

:39:40. > :39:49.them. Now you have burnt of some fuel, you will be able to hit the

:39:49. > :39:54.tyres harder. Hamilton response. No sign of the safety car. I think it

:39:54. > :40:02.is more about weather forecasting than anything else. That looked

:40:02. > :40:08.touch and go. Smartly away for Lewis Hamilton. He had a decent

:40:08. > :40:13.lead. Button and Vettel have not pitted in this phase. Trying to

:40:13. > :40:17.straddle the debris, as they cross the white line -- if they cross the

:40:17. > :40:21.white line they will get a drive through. It is uncomfortable, to

:40:21. > :40:27.see a car on the side of the exit of the pit lane, marshals around

:40:28. > :40:33.and cars doing 190 mph. It is a brave decision by the race director,

:40:33. > :40:43.not to put a safety car out. You have people exposed. Formula One

:40:43. > :40:44.

:40:44. > :40:48.cars at high speed, it is a vulnerable moment. It's sort of

:40:48. > :40:52.blew up, I think it was spitting bits of engine out. Ted told as it

:40:52. > :41:02.was sitting in the pit lane a long time. It has decided to part

:41:02. > :41:09.

:41:09. > :41:14.fancy any more of that. When the marshal is trying to put it out but

:41:14. > :41:24.but but I have never seen a Formula 1 car explode. Sutil is in the pits,

:41:24. > :41:25.

:41:25. > :41:35.along with Jenson Button. There is Button. It must have been coming up

:41:35. > :41:39.

:41:39. > :41:45.will have to get out of the way immediately, and off they go.

:41:45. > :41:52.Traffic calming down there. Perez pulls out, to pass Kovalainen.

:41:52. > :41:58.he do that before the green flag? It must be on the exit, surely.

:41:58. > :42:03.was just before the entry to turn one. It will be down to video

:42:03. > :42:13.evidence. A good spot. The yellow flag is still out. We are on to lap

:42:13. > :42:24.

:42:24. > :42:28.28. Vettel leads. He has not pitied. He is nearly three seconds slower.

:42:28. > :42:36.The Mercedes of Michael Schumacher, he has parked the car. The third

:42:36. > :42:42.retirement of the day. The tyres, steaming. It was a prime tyre. Why

:42:42. > :42:48.would you put the prime tyre instead of the super soft? He has

:42:48. > :42:53.spun it. It is absolutely right. When you have used the intermediate

:42:53. > :43:03.or the White tier, the obligation to run both compounds falls away --

:43:03. > :43:09.

:43:09. > :43:14.sensible tyre to put on in these conditions. He is miles behind

:43:14. > :43:20.Hamilton and Button. Where is his team-mate? At the top of the hill.

:43:20. > :43:28.That has worked badly. It was a smart move, coming in. It hasn't

:43:28. > :43:34.rained, there wasn't a safety car. It is just... It has turned into a

:43:34. > :43:37.straightforward pit stop window. Webber is ever closer to Vettel.

:43:37. > :43:41.Nothing could go wrong for Sebastian Vettel in the early part

:43:41. > :43:45.of the year, and now almost nothing will go right. Still he is in

:43:45. > :43:50.strong points scoring positions. Unlikely he will win them all, I

:43:50. > :43:56.don't recall that ever being achieved. McLaren managed 15 out of

:43:56. > :44:02.161 year. He still has a healthy lead in the World Championship.

:44:02. > :44:08.points. It is certainly healthy. And there he is. At least his tyres

:44:08. > :44:14.have done one last-lap than those around him. On these super softs,

:44:14. > :44:19.these are the tyres. Massa passes what must be Rosberg, or at least

:44:19. > :44:26.goes alongside him. Rosberg got out of shape in turn 3. It is not

:44:26. > :44:33.working out well, a bad two laps for Mercedes-Benz. Schumacher

:44:33. > :44:38.retires from the race, Rosberg is passed by Massa. Hamilton leads

:44:38. > :44:48.Button by 7.3 seconds. Button, quicker on that first flying lap on

:44:48. > :44:52.

:44:52. > :45:01.Kobayashi in 6th place, that is Felipe Massa, Rosberg, Paul di

:45:01. > :45:06.Resta. Petrov. Sebastien Buemi. It has caused Sebastian Vettel about

:45:06. > :45:11.five seconds, that pit-stop, he had a very per lap. We don't know if it

:45:11. > :45:16.was traffic, a mistake or just no grip left and the tyres. If we saw

:45:16. > :45:26.that rarely feature, it was those tyres we were running on. It was 48

:45:26. > :45:29.

:45:29. > :45:32.degrees centigrade. They're going significantly further but they're

:45:32. > :45:37.designed to wear out quickly and make the strategy of Grand Prix

:45:37. > :45:43.racing more interesting. It is also because the track is green. The

:45:43. > :45:47.engineers are looking at this and they think that the track is much

:45:47. > :45:51.more abrasive after the rain, which is why Mercedes went on to harder

:45:51. > :45:55.tyres because they were suffering more than most and that is why

:45:55. > :46:01.Sebastian Vettel was that time. Paul di Resta, he was running in

:46:01. > :46:04.7th place in a very good points position but during those pit stop

:46:04. > :46:09.Windows, he has been passed by Felipe Massa and has dropped down

:46:09. > :46:19.to 9th place. I'll give you the pleasure of reading this...

:46:19. > :46:20.

:46:20. > :46:30.Incident involving Perez. Well spotted. For overtaking under the

:46:30. > :46:31.

:46:31. > :46:41.yellow flag in turn number one. Hamilton, lap 31. We are not even

:46:41. > :46:46.halfway. 7.2 ahead of batten. Sebastian Vettel is the work, 14.5

:46:46. > :46:52.seconds off the lead. Weber's still catching him and he is dragging

:46:52. > :47:00.Fernando Alonso with him. There is a long way to go. It is a tough

:47:00. > :47:05.race. This is one of a harder races of the year in 94, I crashed out

:47:05. > :47:10.because they could not hold on to the car any more. I went into that

:47:10. > :47:16.middle sector, Iran out of steam within the power steering, we did

:47:16. > :47:22.not have it in those days, it was not strong enough. We have such a

:47:22. > :47:27.dent in our knees and ankles in the 1991 race, we ran out of blood, we

:47:27. > :47:33.could not feel our brakes. It is such a tough race. You said you had

:47:33. > :47:39.three second places here by the way. You were not too bad! Plenty of

:47:39. > :47:44.rubbish on the racetrack, that is for sure. Sebastian Vettel has just

:47:44. > :47:51.done the fastest lap of the Grand Prix, 1.4 quicker than the leaders.

:47:52. > :47:58.Would that come from? Fresh tyres and confidence. Once you get the

:47:58. > :48:03.cliff, you cannot find the grip a bit less fuel on board the car, it

:48:03. > :48:07.is more responsive and he is starting to find his form. I might

:48:07. > :48:11.have found out when that came from. Car number one, Sebastian Vettel,

:48:11. > :48:19.off the track and continued into turn Number 11. He has cut the

:48:19. > :48:26.corners? To earn 11 is very fast. I don't see why he would go any

:48:26. > :48:30.quicker by running wide. I don't think that is the answer. On the

:48:30. > :48:34.lap, Therese gets that drive- through penalty for overtaking in a

:48:34. > :48:41.manner that did not please David Coulthard, in to turn No. 1, but we

:48:41. > :48:51.will find out in a moment what is going on. -- Perez. There it is.

:48:51. > :48:58.

:48:58. > :49:07.The end of flight. No, the stewards are never wrong. Like a referee.

:49:07. > :49:14.Allan McNish is the representative warned that the stewards board. --

:49:14. > :49:22.all the stewards board. Their matching the leaders, the top five

:49:22. > :49:26.have taken one second out. Slugging it out. Kobayashi stayed down, we

:49:26. > :49:36.know how good he is on those tyres, so he has decided to stick with his

:49:36. > :49:37.

:49:37. > :49:41.original sets of dry, slick tyres. Turn number five. Quite a good

:49:41. > :49:44.corner, I used to thoroughly enjoy that corner and if you got that

:49:44. > :49:50.right, this double chicane always surprised you. Your role is so much

:49:51. > :49:57.faster. You can see how wide Mark Webber was on that apex, at this

:49:57. > :50:00.stage of the race, along as though running into the dirty air, you are

:50:00. > :50:04.about 200 metres behind the car in front and you will see the drop off

:50:04. > :50:06.in aerodynamic performance and Fernando Alonso was able to run

:50:07. > :50:14.that close to Mark Webber in the activations own and it looks like

:50:14. > :50:17.the Ferrari is a faster package. -- activation zone. And we have a

:50:17. > :50:22.shout out for Sam Michael and Williams because every Sunday

:50:22. > :50:26.morning they give up 20 minutes to give us as much information as they

:50:26. > :50:35.can about what might unfold to make us look moderately intelligent on a

:50:35. > :50:38.Sunday afternoon. These two are getting extremely friendly. As Mark

:50:38. > :50:42.Webber goes defensive and Fernando Alonso gets on to the power. The

:50:42. > :50:49.rear tyres will not handle that, they will not transmit that into

:50:49. > :50:53.the race track. He thinks better of going up the inside. Mark Webber

:50:53. > :50:58.does not yield too much, one of the toughest race was at that. That is

:50:58. > :51:02.the sort of move that could see you slamming the barriers? Dipping the

:51:02. > :51:09.wheels into that artificial grass? Even the commentary box, I can feel

:51:09. > :51:16.my muscles tighten! Felipe Massa pulling a move on Kobayashi into to

:51:16. > :51:26.number one. Mechanistic? He is indeed, up to 6th place. Kobayashi,

:51:26. > :51:30.

:51:30. > :51:35.the only man who has stopped once. Lab 34. Jensen Button, 6.7 off the

:51:35. > :51:43.lead. That is the net result of that overtrick. Felipe Massa

:51:43. > :51:50.continues and Kobayashi Knox is left wield over the line. That is

:51:50. > :51:58.the time to reconsider his tyre choices? It is fine if you have the

:51:58. > :52:06.pace but he is dropping back and he has already dropped... Over one

:52:06. > :52:13.second. In that first sector. With Prime tyres. I don't know whether

:52:13. > :52:17.to be impressed by Sauber. Let's pick a strategy? Let's run a

:52:18. > :52:27.strategy that might win as the stress? They're in position because

:52:28. > :52:32.

:52:32. > :52:39.they have no place, no grip, you wonder why they do not go? You

:52:39. > :52:46.think he is listening? Kobayashi stops from its place, Paul di Resta

:52:47. > :52:52.takes over it place. Force India. He has lost a place. Felipe Massa

:52:52. > :52:56.makes his way through the pack, he is 36 seconds behind Alonso. That

:52:56. > :53:01.is the difference between 5th and 6th. We have three drivers who have

:53:01. > :53:10.dropped out, Jarno Trulli, for Lotus, Michael Schumacher, for

:53:10. > :53:14.Mercedes Benz, he spun off when the engine stalled. And Nick Heidfeld,

:53:14. > :53:18.his car was like a hand grenade. Lee McKenzie has found him.

:53:18. > :53:22.looks scary out there, did you come into the pit stop because there was

:53:22. > :53:26.a problem order the problems start there? We wanted to stop early

:53:26. > :53:29.because we were quicker than the cars ahead but there was one try-

:53:29. > :53:35.line to overtake and the pit stop took longer than it should have and

:53:35. > :53:42.I think this is why something overheated. It did look scary. Were

:53:42. > :53:47.you scared? I was a bit, I had a fire in Barcelona as well but I was

:53:47. > :53:51.not worried. But this one got quite close. In Barcelona I did not feel

:53:51. > :53:56.any temperature and this time I felt the heat. It looks like the

:53:56. > :53:59.side of the car blew out? After a stop, I think they were trying to

:53:59. > :54:07.put the far-out and there was a small explosion on the left. I have

:54:07. > :54:13.never seen anything like that before. Now that they're pretty

:54:13. > :54:19.much at the same phase, some have gone for the yellow marked Prime

:54:19. > :54:24.tyres, and others have gone for the super soft. Is it about racing each

:54:24. > :54:27.other midfield? The only reason I can imagine my they would come into

:54:27. > :54:33.the soft tyres is they believe it will go longer enter the race. If

:54:33. > :54:38.that can save you a pit stop, that is about 90 seconds, allowing for

:54:38. > :54:43.the for second pit-stop. At no point during this weekend have I

:54:43. > :54:48.ever heard anyone say, the option is unworkable, it is slow work, we

:54:48. > :54:54.must run at the Prime tyres. The teams have more information but it

:54:54. > :55:00.does surprise me to see Fernando Alonso in. His third stop. His 4th

:55:00. > :55:05.set of tyres going on and another set of super soft. He is the first

:55:05. > :55:10.to blink. Intermediate, super soft, super soft and Ted Kravitz is with

:55:10. > :55:14.Ferrari. There are only 12 laps old because he stopped on 25, the same

:55:14. > :55:19.as Mark Webber, but Ferrari are getting frustrated behind Mark

:55:19. > :55:23.Webber, they believe there quicker than they have the pace to pass

:55:23. > :55:33.Sebastian Vettel. That is why they have made the stop now, trying to

:55:33. > :55:35.

:55:35. > :55:43.do the undercut. Thanks. Therese fancied a bit of a crack. -- Perez.

:55:43. > :55:48.Getting his act together. That is an early third stop with over half

:55:48. > :55:56.the distance, I wonder if Alonso was simply split the remaining part

:55:56. > :56:04.of the race. We would expect one more stop this afternoon. Hamilton

:56:04. > :56:13.at Leeds, he moves into lap 38, his lead was 7.3 seconds. Try to get

:56:13. > :56:16.this set to go another nine laps or so. 7.4 seconds, now. There are

:56:16. > :56:21.definitely going a different way to Fernando Alonso, who has done a

:56:21. > :56:28.very fast middle sector. Look at the right front, the pick up, that

:56:29. > :56:34.is Mark Webber. It is the unloaded tyre, it is clockwise so more right

:56:34. > :56:41.and left to get back to where you started. I'll go Surrey, he puts

:56:41. > :56:46.that sweet move onto Barrichello and makes it stick. -- Jaime

:56:46. > :56:51.Alguersuari. Interesting that McLaren chose to announce that to

:56:51. > :56:55.the world. Going those extra few laps. Those radio messages are

:56:55. > :57:05.delayed, for all we know, it was broadcast to the car five minutes

:57:05. > :57:08.

:57:08. > :57:17.ago. Let's run through the second half. Sebastien Buemi locking his

:57:17. > :57:26.will. Petrov, Kobayashi 13th, Adrian Sutil in 14. Maldonado,

:57:26. > :57:33.Perez, Kovaleinen. Ricardo is ahead of Liuzzi by 10 seconds. They are

:57:33. > :57:37.running last and penultimate. Times and a surprise, Fernando

:57:37. > :57:44.Alonso has set the quickest first sector on those fresh option tyres.

:57:44. > :57:49.I wondered if Hamilton is trying to get away with only three stops?

:57:49. > :57:56.Including the intermediate? Two stops for the dry tyres and three

:57:56. > :58:06.in total. We were expecting three stops, possibly even for stops. If

:58:06. > :58:06.

:58:06. > :58:11.it had been don't drive. Listen... Understood. The rear tyres are

:58:11. > :58:16.going away and Fernando Alonso is 2.4 seconds quicker than the

:58:16. > :58:20.leaders. They will have to respond. They will have to. Fernando Alonso

:58:20. > :58:25.has found huge amounts of time. Keep an eye on the pit lane, we

:58:25. > :58:28.expect to see the Red Bull boys coming out anytime soon. His rear

:58:29. > :58:38.tyres have gone away and there is a massive amount of understeer or

:58:39. > :58:39.

:58:39. > :58:45.through turn number five. We need to see the lap times. 1.27 for the

:58:45. > :58:48.McLaren and 1.24 for Fernando Alonso. They're going to give it

:58:48. > :58:53.fluid, McLaren think there was some of the and has another six or seven

:58:53. > :58:59.laps before they reach the clef of performance, at which point Lewis

:58:59. > :59:04.Hamilton has to comment. It does to concerning the front tyres. They

:59:04. > :59:07.will keep this fluid, if he starts to lose too much time or pupil

:59:07. > :59:11.comment, they were tried the undercut and will put him in

:59:11. > :59:17.response. If it was up to them, they would keep him on. Red Bull

:59:17. > :59:24.are right in the garage. Mark Webber has had enough of this tyres.

:59:24. > :59:28.He would have loved them 10 laps to go but now he hates them. This is

:59:28. > :59:35.completely different to what be expected. On this green track, with

:59:35. > :59:39.the rain, the option tyres just don't last. They have more

:59:39. > :59:44.information than we have and they are significantly more clever,

:59:44. > :59:48.these strategists. They have gone a different way to Ferrari. Somebody

:59:48. > :59:54.is right and somebody is wrong. Let us see what lap time Mark Webber

:59:54. > :00:03.can find. This brand new set. In qualifying, they were somewhere

:00:03. > :00:07.between not 0.8 and 1.3 seconds slower. If the lap -- track is...

:00:07. > :00:11.Well into the second half, they have got rid of about 75 kilograms

:00:11. > :00:21.of fuel. That is the weight of a passenger. And Lewis Hamilton pets

:00:21. > :00:28.

:00:29. > :00:36.in the lead, and in the pits. Hamilton, calmly into the pit box.

:00:36. > :00:41.No point making it your mechanics step back. Another set of used

:00:41. > :00:46.super softs. He has gone a different way to Webber. Ted was

:00:47. > :00:50.watching. He was slower trying to find a gear. That is the lower-risk

:00:50. > :00:59.strategy by McLaren. They could see what Webber was going to do and

:00:59. > :01:04.they still think they have the pace to win. I wonder if that would

:01:04. > :01:08.normally be the procedure to go to neutral in the pit stops. You might

:01:08. > :01:16.want to inquire further, whether there was another issue.

:01:16. > :01:23.Look at that, zero grip. He has got no front grip at all. Looks like a

:01:23. > :01:33.cross Channel ferry, as he tries to turn it in. So slow. Vettel, really

:01:33. > :01:33.

:01:33. > :01:38.struggling. Alonso, still 2.5 seconds a lap faster. Two down

:01:38. > :01:48.chefs in to turn 11. Massa has made his stock as well, they will have

:01:48. > :02:03.

:02:03. > :02:10.to do something with Vettel. The pits. As we expected, no grip at

:02:10. > :02:17.all. Can it Button keep his tyres intact. They have put the harder it

:02:17. > :02:25.yellow marked prime tyres on. This is wild. Two completely different

:02:25. > :02:29.ideas about how to run this race. Alonso is through. Vettel can go

:02:29. > :02:35.further in this stint, and we are not going to know for another 10 or

:02:35. > :02:39.12 laps, how this is going to play out. Maybe what Red Bull are doing

:02:39. > :02:46.is going for track position. The aim will be no more stops this

:02:46. > :02:50.afternoon. That means 30 laps for Mark Webber on the prime tyres, 28

:02:50. > :02:56.laps for Sebastian. Given the difficulty of overtaking into turn

:02:56. > :03:00.one, we haven't seen many passes. That could be why they have called

:03:00. > :03:10.for the additional stop. The McLaren boys, coming into the pit

:03:10. > :03:12.

:03:12. > :03:18.lane. A little rain shower would really spice it up. Button comes

:03:18. > :03:24.into the pit lane. He nearly arrived backwards. Brian tyres

:03:24. > :03:30.going on. You will see the harder compound -- prime tyres. He is

:03:30. > :03:36.going the same way as the two Red Bull cars. You will see the yellow

:03:36. > :03:42.markings, brand new set of prime tyres. Split strategies, Hamilton

:03:42. > :03:48.is already down into turn one, Alonso passes the finish line.

:03:48. > :03:54.Button feeds back in, in second place. Timo Glock getting out of

:03:54. > :03:59.the way, Alonso right on him, Alonso falls on different tyres, he

:03:59. > :04:07.is on the super softs. Jenson needs to explore his bow slap and see how

:04:07. > :04:14.much grippy is going to get. -- is out lap. And see how much grip he

:04:14. > :04:19.is going to get. Who is right and who is wrong? Where will they end

:04:19. > :04:28.up when they go into the final phase of the race? Felipe Massa is

:04:28. > :04:37.against Alguersauri. Massa is trying to regain position. Massa

:04:37. > :04:40.seems to have been trying to pass somebody. Alguersauri goes

:04:40. > :04:44.defensive early. Would not have thought there was much hope of

:04:44. > :04:50.keeping the Ferrari behind them. They would have picked up some

:04:50. > :05:00.debris on the tyres. Massa running wide. Alonso, coming past the

:05:00. > :05:10.traffic. I think it was Liuzzi. Alonso has got button in his sights.

:05:10. > :05:10.

:05:10. > :05:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:05:53. > :05:57.expecting, hoping, to get to the end. I have just asked Jonathan

:05:57. > :06:02.Neill, he said, do you think Lewis Hamilton can go 25 laps until the

:06:02. > :06:11.end of the race on the super soft tyre. He looked at me and he said,

:06:11. > :06:17.I don't know, he has got to push like hell. If all around them have

:06:17. > :06:23.got to go on the set of tyres... Can Lewis Hamilton make them last

:06:23. > :06:29.25 laps? It would be amazing. Will he be able to pull out a 19 second

:06:29. > :06:36.gap? That is the question we need answered.

:06:36. > :06:40.RADIO: Everyone has stopped again. You are in the lead by 7.7 seconds.

:06:40. > :06:48.Other cars may be trying to go all the way to the end. We need to push

:06:48. > :06:54.to try to get the gap. This is Vettel and Alonso, squabbling for

:06:54. > :07:00.what is now second place again. There is not a snowball in hell's

:07:00. > :07:03.chance of getting the super softs to the end of the race, is there?

:07:03. > :07:10.Based on the information picked up through Friday and Saturday, if you

:07:10. > :07:15.got to lap 20 on options, you were doing well. Hamilton would have to

:07:15. > :07:21.do 30 laps on that set of tyres. I don't see that happening. I think

:07:21. > :07:25.Button is in prime position for this Grand Prix. He is on a set of

:07:25. > :07:31.primes, racing against Vettel and Webber on primes. Only Alonso is on

:07:31. > :07:41.the same strategy. It looks as though Alonso and Hamilton have got

:07:41. > :07:48.it wrong. Or their teams have. For Hamilton to win the race, he needs

:07:48. > :07:53.to be 19 seconds ahead. This is a replay of Alonso and Vettel, as

:07:53. > :07:59.Vettel cruises down the outside. Alonso comes back at him but it was

:07:59. > :08:04.not enough. That was for position. The challenge coming from that pit

:08:04. > :08:11.wall, to Lewis Hamilton, will be, can you get to the end on a set of

:08:11. > :08:21.option tyres? If you deliver it, you can win this race. If you don't,

:08:21. > :08:24.

:08:24. > :08:30.talking to you whilst the cars are on track, what happened? We had a

:08:30. > :08:37.gearbox failure, we need to understand the details. After

:08:37. > :08:47.spinning and continuing, shifting up through the high deers, we lost

:08:47. > :08:51.

:08:51. > :08:56.are the conditions? That was a bit of the issue. Going through some

:08:56. > :09:01.patches made it difficult. I wanted to kick my position and pushed hard.

:09:01. > :09:07.To avoid contact, I had to put the car into a spin, or I would have

:09:07. > :09:15.contacted him. It wouldn't have had any consequence, I lost a couple of

:10:09. > :10:18.found out -- Pirellis, seemed to be sensitive to variations in

:10:18. > :10:25.temperature. Is it raining? It is pouring with rain out there. This

:10:25. > :10:32.is going to be a race to the peps if we think this rain is coming up

:10:32. > :10:38.over. It is one of the tightest pits of the year. Button is in

:10:38. > :10:42.front of Hamilton, in the lead. Hamilton has been of the road, he

:10:42. > :10:50.must a been recovering from a spin. They have come across a corner

:10:50. > :10:57.where it is wet. Both McLarens stay on the track. Button leads, but now

:10:57. > :11:02.you would have thought the super soft tyres would be at a premium.

:11:02. > :11:12.It is fascinating, we have different tyres. The two McLarens,

:11:12. > :11:42.

:11:42. > :11:49.down, around she goes. That is what we saw going on. He was so lucky he

:11:49. > :11:54.did not get wiped out by the Force India. The Force India of Paul di

:11:54. > :12:00.Resta. Lewis dropped the clutch, he spins it around, di Resta has to

:12:00. > :12:10.drive off the track to avoid hitting him. Button leads from

:12:10. > :12:11.

:12:11. > :12:17.Hamilton, from Button -- from Vettel. This is a moment where they

:12:17. > :12:27.ask if they trust the radar. The radar is saying it will be a short

:12:27. > :12:30.

:12:30. > :12:40.drizzle. Lewis might be humming, Why Does It Always Rain on May? --

:12:40. > :12:44.

:12:44. > :12:54.imagine. He was the first one along, to a track that had a sprinkling of

:12:54. > :13:04.rain. Over Egon the throttle. -- overt eager.

:13:04. > :13:13.

:13:13. > :13:22.now cover the top five. Webber is the fastest man, in fourth place.

:13:23. > :13:29.Naked 27 seconds, Alonso has pitted. -- make it 27 seconds. Just

:13:29. > :13:33.Hamilton does not have those tyres now. Vettel is only 2.8 seconds

:13:33. > :13:39.behind Button, I think those two guys will battle for this victory.

:13:39. > :13:42.Surely Hamilton has to pit again. It is marginal, when he lit up the

:13:42. > :13:46.rear and spun the car back around, whether the stewards would look at

:13:46. > :13:51.that. You're not allowed to impede another car. I think it would be

:13:51. > :14:00.harsh if he got a penalty, Paul di Resta got well out of the way, but

:14:00. > :14:06.it will be one of the things they will probably look out. -- look at.

:14:06. > :14:11.What do you think? A penalty for Lewis? I don't think so. Somebody

:14:11. > :14:15.might have a quiet word in his ear. It is looking like it is probably

:14:15. > :14:20.raining now. This must surely help the super soft tyres do these last

:14:20. > :14:27.20 laps. If it keeps raining and they are in a position where they

:14:28. > :14:37.have become in for inters again, it has got to be what Lewis praise for.

:14:38. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :14:49.Massa gets on the inside of Rosberg. Button with Hamilton all-over him.

:14:49. > :14:53.In these temperatures, it will be a harder rubber that will lose

:14:53. > :14:58.temperature first. That is why Hamilton is coming back at him.

:14:58. > :15:03.These are such difficult conditions to know how much grip there will be.

:15:03. > :15:13.Button from Hamilton on different tyres, different strategies. They

:15:13. > :15:24.

:15:24. > :15:34.go into the turn 12 braking zone. prime tyres. Hamilton said: on

:15:34. > :15:44.

:15:44. > :15:48.minutes. That reminds me of an engineer saying to me years ago at

:15:48. > :15:54.Silverstone, are only a few more minutes of rain, but it wasn't fine

:15:54. > :16:01.at all. We can see the cars are getting off wide, but was one of

:16:01. > :16:06.the Red Bull cars, Webber, I think, wide in at turn three. And a

:16:06. > :16:12.Renault is off at the track behind them. Surely it must be hard for

:16:12. > :16:18.the drivers to keep temperature in these conditions. Hamilton leads

:16:18. > :16:21.the Grand Prix again. It has played right back into his hands, as the

:16:21. > :16:26.Jenson Button slips into second place. As you slide down more and

:16:26. > :16:34.more, you lose more and more temperature, it is a snowball

:16:34. > :16:44.effect. Jenson in turn and two goes off at the track. So do Petrov and

:16:44. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:52.those behind him. This is the view from Vettel's a car. -- cold. We

:16:52. > :16:59.are hearing that Nico Rosberg is putting in to mediate on in the pit

:16:59. > :17:03.lane, in the hope that he can maybe surprise of the people -- putting

:17:03. > :17:07.intermediate so on. The further they go, the harder it will get.

:17:07. > :17:14.They are still nose-to-tail with the McLaren. Hamilton must have had

:17:14. > :17:18.a problem, at the DRS opens up and Button takes the lead yet again!

:17:18. > :17:23.Somewhere in there, and Lewis made a mistake because but it was a

:17:23. > :17:28.second or two behind him. This is crucial for these guys racing at

:17:28. > :17:34.the same time. Whoever has track position and comes then, they will

:17:34. > :17:42.get the first pit stop. Now Hamilton is back in the lead.

:17:42. > :17:46.and counter-punch. Webber has pitted. TED KRAVITZ: Bach weather

:17:46. > :17:51.has gone to intermediate tyres, it has got and heavier in the last few

:17:51. > :17:58.minutes -- Webber has gone. They will lose more time if they sped

:17:58. > :18:02.off, so McLaren are thinking about it. So difficult to making a

:18:02. > :18:07.judgment call -- make. We see a replay of Jenson Button retaking

:18:07. > :18:13.the lead. We don't there how he suddenly ended right back on the

:18:13. > :18:18.gearbox again but he has got that position. I thought we might see

:18:18. > :18:22.some body see a handbrake turn up followed by a three-point turn. We

:18:22. > :18:32.see that in sportscar racing, I am not sure I have ever seen it in

:18:32. > :18:36.

:18:36. > :18:41.Formula One. There is Jenson Button. Hamilton is a in the pit lane. --

:18:41. > :18:47.is in. He had actually retaken the lead again some there -- somewhere

:18:47. > :18:57.around there. Saying he can't find enough grip. They are putting

:18:57. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:03.intermediate tyres on. Nico Rosberg out on intermediates, at Lewis

:19:03. > :19:11.Hamilton. I haven't seen anyone else on them. -- and Lewis Hamilton.

:19:11. > :19:17.Webber has them as well. If you are five or six seconds faster for four

:19:17. > :19:23.laps, you might as well be out on these tyres. The golden rule,

:19:23. > :19:27.Ayrton Senna showed us that in 1993 at Donington, be on the right tyres

:19:27. > :19:32.at the right time. That is why it was crucial that Lewis Hamilton got

:19:32. > :19:41.back in front of Jenson Button to get himself, with the team, in a

:19:41. > :19:51.prime slot, and I could begin for intermediate? The team decided not

:19:51. > :19:58.to stack the cars. -- and my coming in for intermediate? Fernando

:19:58. > :20:01.Alonso is on the harder slicks, like Jenson Button. Hamilton,

:20:01. > :20:07.unusually, I would say, at one of the early wants to go on to

:20:07. > :20:13.intermediates. -- one of the early ones. Car-free is under

:20:13. > :20:17.investigation, which is Hamilton at turn seven -- car number three.

:20:17. > :20:23.That is spinning the car rounded front of di Resta. He is under

:20:23. > :20:27.investigation for that. I said he didn't think he would take a

:20:27. > :20:31.penalty. What do you say? I don't think he should take a penalty,

:20:31. > :20:36.there was plenty of room. The warning is being loved that is

:20:36. > :20:42.because Iraq sideways on the track -- it is being looked at because

:20:42. > :20:52.you are sideways on the track, it is one of the rules. Sara Hamilton

:20:52. > :20:52.

:20:52. > :21:01.under investigation. He has Alonso behind him -- so Hamilton. It looks

:21:01. > :21:06.to me as though it is drying up. Giving up on those tyres. That

:21:06. > :21:11.could cost Lewis the race if it doesn't rain again this afternoon.

:21:11. > :21:15.Another set of the dry tyres for Mark Webber. TED KRAVITZ: That has

:21:15. > :21:20.handed the race potentially to Sebastian Vettel, who has stayed

:21:20. > :21:27.out in all of this. The McLaren is on intermediate switches the wrong

:21:28. > :21:35.tie at now it is raining. Fernando Alonso has just breezed past

:21:35. > :21:45.Hamilton. I wonder if we will have a "whose idea was this"? Radio call

:21:45. > :21:46.

:21:46. > :21:51.soon. So Lewis Hamilton is about to have double bad news. He has got to

:21:51. > :21:56.pit for tyres and then he has got to do a drive through within three

:21:56. > :22:02.laps. This will be a confirmation of just pure extra grip, as

:22:02. > :22:06.Fernando Alonso almost runs into him, he has so much more grip. That

:22:06. > :22:11.is at 6 and 7. Lewis Hamilton and looked as though he had it all

:22:11. > :22:15.under control. They will change is tyres first and then do the drive

:22:15. > :22:21.through. I wouldn't want to be telling him about the drive through.

:22:21. > :22:27.Once again, very tardy pulling away. Ted, you said after the first stop

:22:27. > :22:37.he had difficulty getting away. is the clutch. It is the clutch

:22:37. > :22:38.

:22:38. > :22:42.dragging rather than him having problems selecting dear. -- gear.

:22:42. > :22:47.Presumably, they haven't told him he has got a drive through. It is

:22:47. > :22:50.an uncomfortable message to deliver to your driver, especially one who

:22:50. > :22:57.is so highly strung behind the wheel. Maybe that is not the

:22:57. > :23:01.correct description, so motivated behind the wheel. Let's refocus on

:23:01. > :23:11.the Grand Prix. Jenson Button athletes on a dry tyres from

:23:11. > :23:19.

:23:19. > :23:23.Sebastian Vettel, only by 4.4 Sebastian Vettel. The gap is 5.5

:23:23. > :23:29.seconds. It will be Fernando Alonso who is in third place. Presumably,

:23:29. > :23:38.Felipe Massa or, at once Hamilton has done his drive through, will be

:23:38. > :23:44.up into fourth place forced -- into fourth place. So the intermediate

:23:44. > :23:50.move turned out to be wrong. It'll be interesting to see if it was

:23:50. > :23:55.Lewis's call all the team's. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

:23:55. > :23:59.Normally, Lewis would be one of the ones hanging out longest. Well,

:23:59. > :24:04.Jenson Button has been supreme in these changing conditions. I think

:24:04. > :24:11.each of his victories for McLaren have come in changeable conditions.

:24:11. > :24:21.15 laps to go including this one. Can a Vettel fine enough pace to

:24:21. > :24:31.

:24:31. > :24:39.TEAM RADIO: Hamilton has a drive through. He is not serving it yet,

:24:39. > :24:43.but he must serve it within the next lap or two. It looks as though

:24:43. > :24:50.Webber has responded by going purple through that first sector.

:24:50. > :25:00.He gets the message and he delivers. I think the teams are learning more

:25:00. > :25:08.

:25:08. > :25:12.and more. Unfortunately for us, it single message that goes out, but

:25:12. > :25:16.we don't always have access to that. We are looking at the pit lane

:25:16. > :25:26.because Hamilton is going to do his drive through. It is on the speed

:25:26. > :25:30.

:25:30. > :25:36.limit up. His brother is not impressed. So looking pretty handy

:25:36. > :25:43.to -- a from looking pretty handy to win this Grand Prix, he is now

:25:43. > :25:48.behind Felipe Massa and Webber. That looks like a tidy little scrap

:25:48. > :25:56.till the end of the Grand Prix. Mark where there is obviously

:25:56. > :26:03.closing in on Felipe Massa. -- Webber. Having Lewis Hamilton

:26:03. > :26:06.behind him well focused his attack on Felipe Massa. -- will focus.

:26:06. > :26:10.Being on the wrong tyres momentarily and a drive through

:26:10. > :26:20.from leading the race, Lewis Hamilton is now 55 seconds behind

:26:20. > :26:22.

:26:22. > :26:32.Jenson Button. But an's lead is five seconds. -- Jenson Button's.

:26:32. > :26:40.

:26:40. > :26:44.at the moment. And in Jenson Button has done the fastest first sector

:26:44. > :26:51.of the Grand Prix. He won this race five years ago, his first Grand

:26:51. > :26:56.Prix victory, in very, very similar conditions. He leads this one as

:26:56. > :27:01.Webber comes up alongside Felipe Massa. The last corner, DRS wide

:27:01. > :27:05.open. As long as he is not too greedy on the brake pedal, he will

:27:05. > :27:11.get through comfortably. Lewis Hamilton is right on the scene as

:27:11. > :27:21.well. But he is on the outside for turn of two. Felipe Massa doesn't

:27:21. > :27:30.

:27:31. > :27:40.the Grand Prix. 1: 23.9, that is mighty. There is a big gap behind

:27:41. > :27:52.

:27:52. > :27:57.fresh tyres, and the right ones, finally. Jenson Button is leading

:27:57. > :28:04.by 6.4 seconds. Laying down a marker to the world championship

:28:05. > :28:10.leader, listen, just settle for second place! This one is mine!

:28:10. > :28:15.That is the message that Jenson Button just sent out. Let's have a

:28:15. > :28:25.look at Fernando Alonso Jie rating on the brake pedal. Looks like a

:28:25. > :28:28.

:28:29. > :28:34.nice case of KERS Jaya -- and a combination of the conditions.

:28:34. > :28:39.a bit of time, about six seconds. Felipe Massa in for what is his

:28:39. > :28:45.fourth stop this afternoon. Hamilton has been through the pits

:28:45. > :28:51.six times including his drive through, Webber five times, Vettel

:28:51. > :28:55.are three times. Felipe Massa's tyres were finished, that is why he

:28:55. > :29:02.came in. McLaren have confirmed that it is Lewis Hamilton who made

:29:02. > :29:09.the call to come in for intermediate. So it looks like

:29:09. > :29:13.because Jenson Button was running second on the road, he didn't get

:29:13. > :29:18.the choice. He may have wanted to come into intermediate, he may have

:29:18. > :29:28.not. But he didn't get the choice. Due to that fact, he may get the

:29:28. > :29:33.

:29:33. > :29:43.Brilliant performance. But that situation might have meant he was

:29:43. > :29:43.

:29:44. > :29:52.out of the race rather than now has the new fastest lap of the

:29:52. > :30:02.race. They fight over 4th and 5th days. Look at this battle, here. --

:30:02. > :30:02.

:30:02. > :30:09.Jenson Button Leeds. Petrov. I can see Perez, they're all in there.

:30:09. > :30:18.One big traffic jam. Tremendous. Petrov further down the road with

:30:18. > :30:27.Kobayashi. 57 seconds covers the top five after their various

:30:27. > :30:34.adventures. Paul di Resta is just a little bit ahead in eighth place.

:30:34. > :30:39.Where's Kobayashi? Just up the road. I think Paul di Resta has taken 7th

:30:39. > :30:48.place away from Kobayashi. In fact, he has. Kobayashi under extreme

:30:48. > :30:58.pressure. Kobayashi, Sebastien Buemi, Alguersuari, Rosberg, down

:30:58. > :31:02.

:31:02. > :31:06.the road, then Petrov. Late on the brakes at the back of that pack.

:31:06. > :31:12.Kobayashi has won dry tyre change and are struggling to find grip.

:31:12. > :31:17.Paul di Resta, well into the points. Kobayashi locks his way into the

:31:17. > :31:22.turn, holding up the pack and that allows Paul di Resta to go ahead.

:31:22. > :31:27.He will be able to make the final nine laps of this Grand Prix.

:31:27. > :31:31.Difficult to see how Kobayashi in this very conservative strategy can

:31:31. > :31:38.keep these cars behind, stuck to the end of the Grand Prix. They

:31:38. > :31:42.could find themselves going from eighth place down to 11th. Rosberg

:31:42. > :31:48.is catching them at a vast rate, just five seconds on the previous

:31:48. > :31:52.lap. They are squabbling over the same piece of tarmac. Rosberg is

:31:52. > :31:56.cruising up behind them and there he is, behind them already. If I

:31:57. > :32:06.was the Toro Rosso manager, I would say, Sebastien Buemi, we have a

:32:07. > :32:07.

:32:08. > :32:11.couple of laps, move over and give Alguersuari a go. It should be easy.

:32:11. > :32:20.He isn't getting themselves the position correctly as he closes in

:32:20. > :32:26.to the activation zone. Surely he has to send us up the inside?

:32:26. > :32:36.has to go for it. Will he get in? A little bit of contact. Driving into

:32:36. > :32:42.that wedge, and that cost Alguersuari. Other drivers fighting.

:32:42. > :32:47.There is no point in diving up the inside and trying to surprise them.

:32:48. > :32:57.He will turn on you. I am beginning to wonder if the Sauber contract

:32:58. > :33:02.

:33:02. > :33:07.with the drivers... This is the action replay. In to turn number

:33:08. > :33:15.one. Sebastien Buemi gets the job done. Alguersuari, he thinks, I'll

:33:15. > :33:21.have a piece of that. And then we have Adrian Sutil and Perez and

:33:21. > :33:24.Nico Rosberg, dancing between the confetti of carbon fibre. He is

:33:24. > :33:28.right in there, as well. I am beginning to wonder if Sauber

:33:28. > :33:36.drivers have to pay for the wrong tyres? They don't like coming into

:33:37. > :33:43.the pits. This should be easy meat for Rosberg. Crossing that white

:33:43. > :33:50.line. Kobayashi can barely make the car go through the corner. He is

:33:50. > :33:55.trying to do 36 laps on his tyres. And he has lost two places in one

:33:55. > :33:59.street. Adrian Sutil follows Rosberg, make that three places. As

:34:00. > :34:04.Alguersuari finally makes it one lap later. Perez, next up for a

:34:04. > :34:12.shot. The Japanese Sauber Trevor, newly signed up along with prayers

:34:12. > :34:22.for next year. Look at these two, catching them, lapping them. Webber

:34:22. > :34:23.

:34:23. > :34:29.and Hamilton. Less than one second apart. Also, 16 seconds behind.

:34:29. > :34:34.Pretty much putting yourself into the free area. Webber went very

:34:34. > :34:40.wide in to turn for. So difficult for the leaders. Fighting each

:34:40. > :34:44.other that hard. Does he know he is there, press? Yes... There might

:34:44. > :34:48.just be a chance for Hamilton to pounds. Usually the first man on

:34:48. > :34:55.the scene when there is fighting like that. You have to be careful

:34:55. > :34:59.not to try to follow them through. And get yourself... On the inside!

:34:59. > :35:03.Hamilton is going to take the place from Webber. He seizes the

:35:03. > :35:08.opportunity. Whoever trying to do something about that immediately

:35:08. > :35:13.but he will be in the DRS zone. Role reversal. They cross the white

:35:13. > :35:19.line, less than one second apart. Webber can get his rear wing open.

:35:19. > :35:26.Very tight line for Hamilton. He has gone. Hamilton disappears.

:35:26. > :35:31.Supergroup, he found, there. Mark Webber opened his DRS very late. It

:35:31. > :35:37.was almost at the start finish. Not wanting to always referred to the

:35:37. > :35:42.stewards inquiry, but Kobayashi, one lap down, surely must be under

:35:42. > :35:48.investigation for getting underway of the leading cars? Going through

:35:48. > :35:52.turn 12, minding his own business. He had to go through the corner, he

:35:52. > :36:02.cannot evaporate. You could say, Sheikh -- he shouldn't have got out

:36:02. > :36:06.of bed? You think you should have locked area and let them go? That

:36:06. > :36:10.is that, if you feel like it, it's an instruction, move over. Get out

:36:10. > :36:15.of the way. His engineers surely must have told him he was being

:36:15. > :36:20.caught. That was a great overtake from Lewis Hamilton. It'll be

:36:20. > :36:24.interesting to see what went wrong with Mark Webber's response system,

:36:24. > :36:34.the DRS. He had problems in qualifying and it didn't seem to

:36:34. > :36:37.

:36:37. > :36:42.work. Is he trying not to spin-off? It was like, how do I stay in the

:36:42. > :36:47.Grand Prix? Getting pretty flighty on the exit of the previous lap. He

:36:47. > :36:53.still has an second, though. The DRS is wide open. I don't think

:36:53. > :37:03.Mark Webber has given up on 4th place, yet. Jensen Button, so

:37:03. > :37:10.

:37:10. > :37:17.really making his way through his 200 Grand Prix. -- 200. This is

:37:17. > :37:21.officially known as his 200 Thrace. Five laps to go. The Kobayashi

:37:21. > :37:25.excuse will be that his tyres were gone. At the end of that lap, after

:37:25. > :37:31.he had at the leaders, he came into the pits and changed the tyres. I

:37:31. > :37:35.really do think that he will try to tell the stewards, he was trying to

:37:35. > :37:41.mount his own business and get round One tyres that are completely

:37:41. > :37:47.finished. You need to ride that down for him as he makes his way...

:37:47. > :37:54.I don't think he will get any inquiry. David thinks he might. He

:37:54. > :37:59.might get a slap on the wrist for getting underway. Button, 9.7

:37:59. > :38:09.seconds clear on lap 66. Just gliding across the Kers, not under

:38:09. > :38:15.

:38:15. > :38:25.any pressure. Sebastian Vettel Coach Inn in. -- coasting in. They

:38:25. > :38:30.

:38:30. > :38:40.have lapped everybody, up to Felipe Massa, in 6th place. Barrichello,

:38:40. > :38:41.

:38:41. > :38:48.down and 13th. Ricardo. 70 seconds ahead of Liuzzi, now, in the battle.

:38:48. > :38:57.This is Mark Webber, who has not given up. Lewis Hamilton on

:38:57. > :39:02.slightly fresher tyres, he was the last man to change them, remember.

:39:02. > :39:11.We saw how happy Lewis Hamilton was last week winning the race, he will

:39:12. > :39:16.be at pretty sad puppy at the end of this one. I think the race was

:39:16. > :39:21.lost when the rain came down, ever so slightly, and he went on to the

:39:21. > :39:26.intermediates. If things stay the same, it's a lost opportunity for

:39:26. > :39:34.Lewis Hamilton. Victory looks likely for McLaren, nonetheless.

:39:34. > :39:39.They have no other movers down the back. Toro Rosso look like they

:39:39. > :39:41.will get both of their cars into the points. It doesn't look like

:39:41. > :39:46.Sebastian Vettel will win the race but used it extends his

:39:46. > :39:51.championship lead because the only man behind 10 is comfortably in the

:39:51. > :39:57.championship. Webber would be second, three ahead of Hamilton and

:39:57. > :40:07.four points ahead of Fernando Alonso. Sebastian Vettel would have

:40:07. > :40:14.and 85 point lead. 77 ahead coming into this race. Three to go.

:40:14. > :40:18.McLaren. Can they win their 4th Grand Prix of the season? It will

:40:18. > :40:25.be two apiece for Hamilton and Button. Button is a man in these

:40:25. > :40:29.conditions. He wants supremely in Canada, he just seems to have a

:40:29. > :40:38.feel for the racetrack when there is an unknown amount of grip,

:40:38. > :40:43.doesn't it? If he was going to be a dancer, he would be a ball run

:40:43. > :40:49.dancer. He is so smooth. He just glides across the floor. He says he

:40:49. > :40:54.has been eating a lot of cake This weekend, for his 200 Grand Prix and

:40:54. > :40:59.he could well be drinking champagne with that this afternoon. Some

:40:59. > :41:07.drivers have led this race. Hamilton, Button, during the pit

:41:07. > :41:16.stop phases. Fernando Alonso, also. The rain came, some decided to go

:41:16. > :41:23.with intermediate tyres, critically Lewis Hamilton. And also, for the

:41:23. > :41:27.final stop, the likes of Button and Sebastian Vettel decided to go on

:41:27. > :41:32.to the hard tyre and get to the end of the Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso

:41:32. > :41:37.and Hamilton did not, they wanted the extra punch from those softer

:41:37. > :41:41.tyres. As long as they could get away with making the extra stop. It

:41:41. > :41:46.did not prove to be the right decision at all. The drive-through

:41:46. > :41:51.penalty for Lewis Hamilton, he spun the car round in front, having made

:41:51. > :41:54.a mistake, spun around in front of another driver, forcing him off the

:41:54. > :41:58.track and regulations say you were not allowed to force anybody off

:41:58. > :42:04.the track in any circumstances. And that pretty much put paid to the

:42:04. > :42:09.podium. 54 seconds off the lead. He still has Mark Webber less than one

:42:09. > :42:19.second behind and there is the gap... Webber will not give up on

:42:19. > :42:19.

:42:19. > :42:25.that, he still fancies that 4th place. 1.5 laps to go. It will be

:42:25. > :42:30.hard for Mark Webber, getting the run of the McLaren. Not 0.8 of the

:42:30. > :42:38.second is the gap. He still has the DRS available. They are starting to

:42:38. > :42:42.catch the back markers. Sebastien Buemi, Paul di Resta, running in a

:42:42. > :42:49.fine 70s. Or only a couple of seconds ahead of Sebastien Buemi,

:42:49. > :42:57.though. He is one lap down. Tactic to, one lap to go. You always want

:42:57. > :43:07.to keep that gap as big as possible. On the final lap. At these, Jensen

:43:07. > :43:07.

:43:08. > :43:12.Button is. In 0.6 seconds, the lead. No way through for Mark Webber.

:43:12. > :43:15.Lewis Hamilton has uncovered, unless the traffic ahead really

:43:16. > :43:24.into fears and pays Mark Webber back for losing out in the traffic.

:43:24. > :43:30.Jensen Button is going to win Grand Prix number 200, Rosberg gets clean

:43:30. > :43:36.out of the way to let these two through. Button is the man when the

:43:36. > :43:41.track is greasy. When you need somebody with the clear, can head.

:43:41. > :43:49.Jensen Button is the man who can find the grip. He has a 6th sense

:43:49. > :43:53.for how to survive on a track that is treacherous. From the very

:43:53. > :43:59.beginning, he majestically makes his way through the back of the

:43:59. > :44:06.race track, guiding McLaren through. He has already won, as far as he is

:44:06. > :44:12.concerned. Gliding through the debris, only two corners left. For

:44:12. > :44:17.the popular Brit. The man you need when the track does not want to let

:44:17. > :44:21.you know what is going to happen. He is acknowledging the crowd

:44:21. > :44:25.because he has a couple of hundred metres to go, Jensen Button

:44:25. > :44:32.brilliantly wins the Hungarian Grand Prix. The class of the field,

:44:32. > :44:38.Sebastian Vettel follows him home. 3.5 seconds. And Supreme skill this

:44:38. > :44:42.afternoon. As drivers had to fight very difficult conditions. As ever,

:44:42. > :44:46.Fernando Alonso, somehow keeps it pointing the right direction. For

:44:46. > :44:50.the podium. Half a minute ahead of Hamilton and Webber. Hamilton quite

:44:50. > :45:00.clearly has that covered. Paul di Resta needs to be careful he does

:45:00. > :45:07.

:45:07. > :45:12.Hamilton, fourth place. Webber in fifth. I don't believe Lewis

:45:12. > :45:22.Hamilton will be too pleased when he steps out of that McLaren.

:45:22. > :45:33.

:45:33. > :45:41.Doesn't go over with his normal British flag draped around his

:45:41. > :45:46.father. Five years after his first victory in Formula One. As you say,

:45:46. > :45:50.he is the man in these conditions. I think all of the drivers handled

:45:50. > :45:57.those very difficult conditions very well. TEAM RADIO: Jenson,

:45:57. > :46:06.absolutely brilliant, happy to hundredth race. Perfect going into

:46:06. > :46:11.the break, let's go back and win them all. The team as well close

:46:11. > :46:21.down for two of the next three weeks so the mechanics and the

:46:21. > :46:22.

:46:22. > :46:25.engineers can get a break. It is a very long season. Jenson reminded

:46:25. > :46:32.them that one McLaren driver will go into that break very happy

:46:32. > :46:42.indeed. Great drive by Paul di Resta. Both of the Toro Rosso in

:46:42. > :47:07.

:47:07. > :47:14.car on fire and the other car could Ricciardo. Hello to the Australian

:47:14. > :47:21.viewers. Sorry that Webber didn't do better for you. He finished in

:47:21. > :47:31.fifth. Jenson Button had his cake yesterday and he eats it again

:47:31. > :47:34.

:47:34. > :47:41.today. The man with a plan when the track is slippery. He bumps into

:47:41. > :47:46.the number one sign. Plenty of rubber he has collected on those

:47:46. > :47:52.tyres, about one kilo on each, I am told. Just to make sure the car is

:47:52. > :47:56.over the weight limit. Everybody does it. I have been told that the

:47:56. > :48:02.FIA can ask for another set of tyres to be put on at the end of

:48:02. > :48:10.the race, you have to be legal at all times. So why do they do it?

:48:10. > :48:15.Because they can. A great victory. He is a very popular man in the

:48:15. > :48:22.paddock. He is indeed, and the celebration for his two hundredth

:48:22. > :48:26.Grand Prix was well attended yesterday. He is a true sportsman.

:48:26. > :48:36.And he just seemed so capable. He sees the big picture in these

:48:36. > :48:39.

:48:39. > :48:49.changing conditions. 31 years old, it is his 35th, Surrey 36 podium --

:48:49. > :48:57.

:48:57. > :49:02.or at giving his dad a Little Rock on their head. He is not sensitive

:49:02. > :49:07.about his hair. -- a Little Rock. There will be no prouder mothered

:49:08. > :49:14.for a father. Seeing his son when the Grand Prix. A racing father,

:49:14. > :49:18.that is. -- no prouder moment for a father. John Button was sure his

:49:18. > :49:25.son was going to win this race when I saw him just before coming to the

:49:25. > :49:35.commentary box. Fair play to the FIA a, the press delegate allowing

:49:35. > :49:42.

:49:42. > :49:47.his overall victories. His first one was here in 2006, his win in

:49:47. > :49:52.Canada, his world champion year, some tremendous advantages --

:49:52. > :49:56.performances but he had car advantage then. I think this will

:49:56. > :49:59.be one of the sweetest, because CANADA was charged with such

:49:59. > :50:03.emotion, the negative emotional coming-together with his team-mate,

:50:03. > :50:07.at Reading at the back with the safety car coming in, and this one

:50:07. > :50:17.was about starting the race and making good decisions and allowing

:50:17. > :50:37.

:50:37. > :50:45.was OK. At the beginning, it just kept going off. A reflective

:50:45. > :50:52.looking Fernando Alonso, not giving a much away to Jenson Button!

:50:52. > :50:57.Jenson did say, you kept going off! He did keep checking the corner he

:50:57. > :51:03.had been through on occasion, Fernando Alonso. Enjoyed the

:51:03. > :51:13.scenery so much. If he just waited 90 seconds, he could see it again.

:51:13. > :51:13.

:51:13. > :52:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 73 seconds

:52:25. > :52:30.Another terrible weekend for a There were 88 pit stops in that

:52:30. > :52:35.Grand Prix, at an all-time record. It beats even the Turkish Grand

:52:35. > :52:40.Prix at of earlier this year. A fragile-looking trophy there. A

:52:40. > :52:50.lofted into the air by a jubilant Jenson Button. First, it says on

:52:50. > :52:55.his cap, Andy certainly was. -- and he. Dave Robson, at Jenson's

:52:55. > :53:05.Engineer, receives the constructors trophy. He made some good course

:53:05. > :53:40.

:53:40. > :53:46.today. -- calls. Sebastian Vettel trophy. Plenty of cake for Button

:53:46. > :53:51.this weekend. Now it is time for some champagne. The sweet taste of

:53:51. > :53:58.cake and champagne together, but it doesn't make a Button feel sick at

:53:58. > :54:02.all. He feels ecstatic, I would imagine. Once again, at he

:54:02. > :54:10.absolutely ace did while others made mistakes in challenging

:54:10. > :54:17.conditions. Jenson Button wins the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix and

:54:17. > :54:22.deservedly so. JAKE HUMPHREY: And what a way to

:54:22. > :54:27.celebrate your Two hundredth race. Jenson Button Group -- reminding us

:54:28. > :54:33.all why you watch. Well done, Jenson, a great drive and a great

:54:33. > :54:37.race and it was great to watch. EDDIE JORDAN: It was fascinating.

:54:37. > :54:42.You had everything. Jenson Button, time and time we talk about it, he

:54:42. > :54:47.put his car in the right place. He may have had the rub of the green,

:54:47. > :54:51.so to speak but he delivered emphatically. I thought it was an

:54:52. > :54:56.outstanding drive by not possibly the quickest car-driver combination

:54:56. > :55:01.but he got it home before everybody else. It was decisions behind the

:55:01. > :55:05.wheel that made him with this race and the decisions behind the pits

:55:05. > :55:11.for that cost Lewis Hamilton the race. But wheel-to-wheel, the

:55:11. > :55:15.Clarets, this is what we want to say. -- McLaren. We were talking

:55:15. > :55:20.about this as it unfolded. It is pleasant to see McLaren have an

:55:20. > :55:24.open policy. They allow their drivers racing wheel-to-wheel. We

:55:24. > :55:27.should be served up with more of this, let's hope this is some

:55:27. > :55:33.inspiration to the rest of the teams. Please give us wheel-to-

:55:33. > :55:39.wheel racing with your team-mates. Jenson fighting bat and -- back and

:55:39. > :55:43.because Lewis was in the lead, that he got the decision to going first.

:55:43. > :55:49.Somebody decided to go on to intermediate tyres and it may be

:55:49. > :55:53.that that cost him the race. I had a slightly different view. I think

:55:53. > :55:57.Jenson has the ability to feel the track, the car, the conditions of

:55:57. > :56:03.the tyres. I still think he wouldn't have stopped. We will ask

:56:03. > :56:08.him, but I don't think he will have stopped for the intermediate. Maybe

:56:08. > :56:14.with Lewis, the soft soft tyres wouldn't have got into the end.

:56:14. > :56:18.Martin Whitmarsh, team principal of McLaren is with us. We will talk

:56:18. > :56:23.about at Lewis in a minute, but first of all, the reason you are

:56:23. > :56:28.smiling, John -- Jenson Button. 200 races and another great win for

:56:28. > :56:32.McLaren. That is the way to celebrate. Jenson has ridden a

:56:32. > :56:36.great race, he was calm, he gave great information, he took risks

:56:36. > :56:41.when he had to, but in these conditions you have to. He drove

:56:41. > :56:44.superbly and it is one of those great wins. He is proving to be so

:56:44. > :56:48.powerful in these sort of changeable conditions, where you

:56:48. > :56:53.have to be careful and read the conditions. He does a fantastic job.

:56:53. > :56:56.We know what a master he is in these conditions, but when will you

:56:56. > :57:01.allow him to win a race in dry conditions, because he hasn't done

:57:01. > :57:06.that for McLaren yet. We give him every encouragement to do that, so

:57:06. > :57:12.maybe when we come back. I suspect it will not be pure tripe in Spa,

:57:12. > :57:15.though. Let's talk about Lewis Hamilton. A couple of decisions in

:57:15. > :57:20.the pit lane, which people think they have cost him the race. The

:57:21. > :57:24.decision to go on to super-soft, but more critically, going on to

:57:24. > :57:30.the eager -- intermediate tyres as the rain came down. His decision

:57:30. > :57:34.was it? It is a team decision but at that point, his tyres were just

:57:34. > :57:39.a bad shot. It was raining and half the field went on to the

:57:39. > :57:43.intermediate. He will wish he didn't, but when it is raining and

:57:43. > :57:47.your tyres are shot and there is rain on the radar, you have to make

:57:47. > :57:51.that call. Half of the cars came in at that point and changed to

:57:51. > :57:57.intermediate. Clearly, with hindsight, you wish that hadn't

:57:57. > :58:02.been the case. I think Lewis was perhaps going through tyres quite

:58:02. > :58:06.aggressively and we made some calls. But the great thing is, he kept

:58:06. > :58:11.calm, he kept a disciplined, took another couple of places that got

:58:11. > :58:17.fourth place, a valuable point. Your view on the drive through?

:58:17. > :58:21.think it was told. If you are out there and aggressively forcing the

:58:21. > :58:26.drive, you will spin and the consequence of correcting himself,

:58:26. > :58:31.somebody had to go around him. It is not an aggressive move. We are

:58:31. > :58:35.looking at a di Resta. Was he forced onto the grass as a result?

:58:35. > :58:43.That is what the stewards will have looked at. From our point of view,

:58:43. > :58:47.where does the rest to go? It is a tough call. -- di Resta. It is

:58:47. > :58:51.tough, but you can't answer it during a race, you have to pay

:58:51. > :58:55.attention to what the ruling is an act upon it. The great thing is

:58:55. > :59:00.that Lewis took a couple more places after that, which is what he

:59:00. > :59:05.has to do. We will see if Lewis is still feeling calm, he is with Lee

:59:05. > :59:10.McKenzie. From the highs of Germany in two

:59:10. > :59:15.now, that you came so close to winning a game and finished fourth.

:59:15. > :59:19.How do you feel? First novel, congratulates since two Jenson, he

:59:19. > :59:26.was pushing me hard all rates -- first of all. The better than one

:59:26. > :59:30.today and he did a great job. -- the better man won. A we got a

:59:30. > :59:34.great start, did really well for the first half of the race. I was

:59:34. > :59:41.straining with my front tyres, maybe I was pushing too much, then

:59:41. > :59:45.I had a big mistake. Again, My left front tyre was pretty worn so I

:59:45. > :59:50.went wide out of the Chicane and spun, which is very rare. One of

:59:50. > :59:57.the first times I have done it. Then after that, I had to apologise

:59:57. > :00:02.to Paul di Resta, I didn't see him. I had no clue. I don't know what

:00:02. > :00:09.happened, but I got a penalty for something. That is to be expected

:00:09. > :00:12.sometimes. I apologise to him. some ways, it was the first car

:00:12. > :00:22.call that quarter lead. You were in their lead, was it your idea to cut

:00:22. > :00:25.

:00:25. > :00:29.asking for information but they could not share me. It was a

:00:29. > :00:33.diffident -- difficult call for them and they have some information

:00:33. > :00:36.from me but maybe it was a little bit of info and we decided, I heard

:00:36. > :00:42.them say that it was going to rain and it was already spitting so we

:00:42. > :00:47.opted to go for the wet tyres. I think they called me end and I did

:00:47. > :00:51.the lap. Anyway, the tyres went off, it was not necessarily the best

:00:52. > :00:56.call. It might not be the result you are hoping for but cannulae but

:00:56. > :01:01.the positive because McLaren was so strong again? But the view got

:01:01. > :01:06.ahead of Red Bull for much of the rest? -- both of you. The team have

:01:06. > :01:11.done a fantastic job. We have been the most competitive this weekend

:01:11. > :01:18.and it's a fantastic way to go into the brake. Of course, we would have

:01:18. > :01:22.loved one, too, and I feel like I have let the team down a little bit.

:01:22. > :01:26.Difficult comments but good to see Lewis Hamilton smiling and this is

:01:26. > :01:30.the incident. He spun the car around to get back into the race

:01:30. > :01:36.and forced Paul di Resta onto the grass. He was given a drive-through

:01:36. > :01:40.penalty. Paul di Resta finished 7th, his best ever informed and a one

:01:40. > :01:43.and just after that, here is a shot of them having a conversation. We

:01:43. > :01:49.believe that there was some of them has apologised. Martin what Marsh

:01:49. > :01:56.is still with us. He was Hamilton said you were struggling to here.

:01:56. > :02:01.He would have been asking for slick tyres on that final pit stop?

:02:01. > :02:05.wasn't that a mature response? He wants to win and to cap it that's

:02:05. > :02:08.so well. He is disappointed. But we look at this and we can analyse it

:02:08. > :02:12.and say we wish we had made different calls but based on the

:02:12. > :02:16.information we had and the circumstances, it is one of those

:02:16. > :02:20.things. It is important to point out that Lewis Hamilton has been

:02:20. > :02:24.pretty professional and mature all weekend, considering the difficult

:02:24. > :02:28.times earlier this season? This is a strong weekend for him, even if

:02:28. > :02:32.the results were not what we wanted? Some of the remarks earlier

:02:32. > :02:36.in the season and what we have listened to and witnessed, I cannot

:02:36. > :02:40.believe it's the same person. This was a perfectly professional

:02:40. > :02:48.response by a highly qualified at the elite. In front of the world.

:02:48. > :02:53.He has to be an ambassador. We now have found mid-season, albeit late,

:02:54. > :02:57.we have been critical of you in the past, me especially. But your car

:02:57. > :03:01.is so much better, can you promise as one thing, that you will serve

:03:01. > :03:07.up races like this for the remainder of the season? We promise

:03:07. > :03:11.you. We will keep pushing and will try to win as many as we can. Lewis

:03:11. > :03:14.has been strong mentally all this weekend. It did not go his way but

:03:14. > :03:21.he isn't a good place at the moment and I'm sure he will be massively

:03:21. > :03:27.motivated. It is important to point out that his -- this is the pit

:03:27. > :03:33.board belonging to the current world champion. And the lead is the

:03:33. > :03:39.biggest it has been all season. That will not stop McLaren from

:03:39. > :03:43.partying, you can see the Union flag flying, his father celebrity,

:03:43. > :03:53.Jensen Button, 200 grand prix is with another win for McLaren. Let's

:03:53. > :03:53.

:03:53. > :03:58.hear from him. Many congratulations, what a way to mark 200? You can

:03:58. > :04:04.start the party? It is good having a brake, it might take be that long

:04:04. > :04:11.to get over tonight! Yes, this is the first place for a have won a

:04:11. > :04:16.Grand Prix, in 2006, in these conditions. And this is my two

:04:16. > :04:21.hundredth race, it is a great moment. I like these conditions,

:04:21. > :04:27.don't ask me why. But it worked out again. It was a great call by the

:04:27. > :04:32.team to put me on the front when they did. It was a great called out

:04:32. > :04:36.of us when we decided not to go to the intermediate. All round, it was

:04:37. > :04:40.an amazing weekend and I want to say a big thank-you to the team.

:04:40. > :04:47.Mechanics, engineers, everyone in the team has worked hard to produce

:04:47. > :04:51.the car that we have now and we're going into the brake on a high.

:04:51. > :04:57.Beer on holiday, they will think about coming back and doing the

:04:57. > :05:01.same again. Sebastien, you had the start that she wanted but sometimes

:05:01. > :05:06.staying on the track in the early stages seemed impossible and

:05:06. > :05:11.holding on to the lead even more impossible? I was struggling. What

:05:11. > :05:17.the intermediate tyres, Lewis was faster. And then I lost it in to

:05:17. > :05:21.turn number two. Quite tricky. I try to be on the edge and at some

:05:21. > :05:25.stage I realised it would be too late so I opened up the car because

:05:25. > :05:31.I know of the white lines and in particular the green paint is very

:05:31. > :05:36.slippery so it is fairly easy to spend. And I lost the lead. After

:05:36. > :05:40.that, the circuit was trying and we could have many Cumin 1 lap earlier,

:05:40. > :05:45.and on the super soft I was feeling quite good initially but there was

:05:45. > :05:52.quite a lot of top off. It was the same for all of us, the track being

:05:52. > :05:56.quite green. Yes, I think both times I would have loved to have

:05:56. > :06:05.come in one lap earlier but it was good fun to see both McLaren cars

:06:05. > :06:11.very close. And I had to go because I did feel that I had more speed in

:06:11. > :06:14.the car but I had a couple of problems with the brakes and it was

:06:15. > :06:18.difficult with 20 laps to go, to know how the car would be in the

:06:18. > :06:24.end so what could not push as hard as I would have liked but still,

:06:24. > :06:28.second place is an important step. Nevertheless, I think wedding was

:06:29. > :06:34.in reach and we did not get it. We need to work hard because both

:06:34. > :06:41.McLaren cars are very strong, in all sorts of conditions. It is

:06:41. > :06:46.clear for a couple of races that the need to make sure we come back.

:06:46. > :06:50.Fernando, Ferrari went for an aggressive for stops. Third place

:06:50. > :06:58.was a reward. Did you ever feel that the podium was on in the early

:06:58. > :07:04.stages? I think in these conditions, the race is very long and you need

:07:04. > :07:08.to all this focus because with so many pit stops and the weather

:07:09. > :07:15.conditions, anything can happen. I stayed focus at the beginning and

:07:15. > :07:19.unfortunately I started not as we predicted and both Mercedes cars

:07:19. > :07:25.overtook us from the start so I had to overtake Michael and then

:07:26. > :07:33.Rosberg. With the pit stops, we find ourselves behind Mark Webber

:07:33. > :07:38.for half of the race. After that, we were able to push. We were quite

:07:38. > :07:43.quick but the first 30 laps, we were behind Mercedes and behind

:07:43. > :07:49.Mark Webber. It was too much. Jensen Button, at what stage did

:07:49. > :07:55.you fear the victory was on today? When you got to the chicane? Or did

:07:55. > :08:01.you feel that as he worked at it, winning was always on? It is easy

:08:01. > :08:07.to say now, but personally I felt at the end of the first, I felt I

:08:07. > :08:10.was able to look after the tyres for the remainder of the first

:08:10. > :08:16.stint and about halfway through, people started struggling and I was

:08:16. > :08:21.able to push on. The car felt really good. I think I was three

:08:21. > :08:26.seconds behind Lewis when he pitted, I pulled in the second lap at that

:08:26. > :08:31.point so I knew I was in good shape, the car was working well for me. It

:08:31. > :08:36.was a matter of time in the drier conditions for us to get the jump

:08:37. > :08:42.on Lewis. Because he was struggling. Obviously, it turned out different

:08:42. > :08:47.with the rain coming down, it was difficult on the Prime tyres. But a

:08:47. > :08:51.lot of fun all the same. It is always fun racing with Lewis, we're

:08:51. > :08:58.pretty sure, we did not touch this time. This, great to come away with

:08:58. > :09:03.the victory. That is an understatement, congratulations,

:09:03. > :09:08.200 races at another win. Sebastian Vettel, finishing second, then

:09:08. > :09:14.Fernando Alonso with Lewis Hamilton ending up and 40s. Mark Webber had

:09:14. > :09:20.a difficult day but he finished 5th with Felipe Massa. Paul di Resta

:09:20. > :09:23.was in 7th, Sebastien Buemi and Alguersuari both in the points for

:09:23. > :09:30.Toro Rosso and Nico Rosberg finishing in the points. Petrov

:09:30. > :09:33.gets his Renault to the finish. Perez, not stopping too much but he

:09:33. > :09:42.could not drag himself and to the point. Timo Glock will be happy

:09:42. > :09:46.with 17. Just in front of dander Ricardo, in front of Liuzzi, his

:09:46. > :09:51.experienced team-mate. Disappointing for Team Lotus, Jarno

:09:51. > :09:57.Trulli and Kovaleinen wanted to get this one. This is where his only

:09:57. > :10:01.when has come in Formula One. Look at that, 85 points is the gap

:10:01. > :10:11.between Sebastian Vettel and his team-mate, Mark Webber. Lewis

:10:11. > :10:12.

:10:12. > :10:21.Hamilton in third. 25 points go to Jensen Button. Another hall points

:10:21. > :10:25.for Red Bull, 383 points, at the very top. We are basking in the

:10:25. > :10:29.reflected glory of the win for Jensen Button. Congratulations. And

:10:29. > :10:35.Paul di Resta it will wonder about. He might give us a quick word. We

:10:35. > :10:40.have heard from Lewis Hamilton. That was one of the most eventful

:10:40. > :10:46.moments? Seeing Lewis Hamilton spinning around? You did very well

:10:46. > :10:51.to avoid an? I saw him before it went into the chicane and I had a

:10:51. > :10:56.bit of a moment and coming out, I was surprised but at the same time,

:10:56. > :10:59.there was time to take action and I think Lewis Hamilton was not in the

:10:59. > :11:05.race so I can understand what he was trying to do but there are no

:11:05. > :11:09.harsh words, he said he did not see me. If it had cost us points, it

:11:09. > :11:15.would have been a hard one. He did not see the two cars in front

:11:15. > :11:19.either! We were watching this and it did seem like it was going to be

:11:20. > :11:24.harsh if the stewards give the drive-thru and you obviously lost

:11:24. > :11:30.some time but would you have accepted that as a normal cut and

:11:30. > :11:35.thrust of racing? Or was that the right thing to do? I do not know,

:11:35. > :11:39.it is difficult. If there she was on the other foot. If he had

:11:39. > :11:43.avoided that, I did not lose too much but I lost some tyre

:11:43. > :11:46.temperature so it is hard, I was fighting for position with

:11:46. > :11:51.Barrichello, they had just clap us and if it had cost two points I

:11:51. > :11:54.would have been more disappointed. Let's talk about something more

:11:54. > :12:02.positive, this is a best-ever finish. Back in the points after

:12:02. > :12:06.the last few races. It is massive for me, the last few races, there

:12:06. > :12:12.were points up for grabs and all of them and yesterday we did not get

:12:12. > :12:15.the best qualifier, we did not quite hook the car up on the super

:12:15. > :12:18.soft and we lost some strategy, the middle Stent was not as good as it

:12:18. > :12:22.should have been but with the tricky conditions, and was able to

:12:22. > :12:27.fight my way back through and would definitely quicker than the guys

:12:27. > :12:33.behind, it was just about bringing the car home. Bringing the car home,

:12:33. > :12:37.did you actually? I think you ran out of fuel? We did stop, it was

:12:37. > :12:43.critical, if I heard fuel one more time for my engineer I was going to

:12:43. > :12:48.grab his throat. But he did help me at the beginning, and we are only

:12:48. > :12:55.out there to win as a team and given what Adrian scored at Germany,

:12:55. > :13:02.I pulled the gap with Sauber and we are fighting. You definitely did

:13:02. > :13:06.finish in the points so congratulations. Well done. Big day

:13:06. > :13:10.for Paul di Resta and let's go back to the start of this grand prix.

:13:10. > :13:16.Before the rain started to fall and decisions were costing drivers,

:13:16. > :13:22.with the pressure on, it was a good start from Sebastien. It was all

:13:22. > :13:26.lies and Lewis Hamilton for the reaction. He has been strong. But

:13:26. > :13:33.in the end, he had to defend what Jensen and that little battle

:13:33. > :13:41.continued nicely. All the way into the second hairpin. And as Jensen

:13:41. > :13:47.Button said, we have had some great battles. Here we go. Jensen Button

:13:47. > :13:50.gets at better drive, he can deploy the Kers system. It was so close

:13:50. > :13:59.with the front wing and Lewis was using more of his Cursor system

:13:59. > :14:06.into the braking zone. That is 80 horsepower, Jensen Button, on to

:14:06. > :14:10.the kerb and then runs down the inside. Fantastic battle. This was

:14:10. > :14:13.setting the tone for the afternoon. Absolutely. I suspected that it

:14:14. > :14:21.that was anyone else other than McLaren, Lewis Hamilton might have

:14:21. > :14:31.squeezed. And this is the contrast, terrible start from Mark Webber.

:14:31. > :14:34.

:14:34. > :14:39.raining at that point, but a lot of residual water -- spraying.

:14:39. > :14:44.became a very bad afternoon indeed for Nick Heidfeld. Martin Brundle

:14:44. > :14:49.was saying he can't remember when a car exploded in Formula One, let me

:14:49. > :14:53.remind him of the British Grand Prix in 1994 when he exploded on

:14:53. > :14:58.the start line! We have seen a Renault on fire twice this season,

:14:58. > :15:03.it is not good. It is not, it is one of the most frightening things.

:15:03. > :15:08.That is why I am so happy to see the end of the refuelling during

:15:08. > :15:13.races, it was a necessary. I don't recall seeing an explosion,

:15:13. > :15:17.particularly coming out of the side. The engine just goes pop. I think

:15:17. > :15:22.it in just one of the feet or the legs of the marshal, and they

:15:22. > :15:26.shouldn't be subjected to that kind of risk. It was a close call from

:15:26. > :15:33.the race director to not actually put out the safety car. It was the

:15:33. > :15:38.right decision, but I was so nervous. That was an explosion.

:15:38. > :15:42.added kind of got worse. The Sebastian Vettel trying to exit the

:15:42. > :15:46.pit lane at a Grand Prix, and they are dragging of the car backwards

:15:46. > :15:50.up the pit lane. That is not the proudest moment for the Hungarian

:15:50. > :15:54.Grand Prix, but thankfully the rest of the action on the track was

:15:54. > :15:58.fantastic. And in fairness to the race director, there was no serious

:15:58. > :16:02.injury. The other thing we have to consider, a car has had an

:16:02. > :16:08.explosion, you could have weeping oil across the track. They had to

:16:08. > :16:14.get the correct, there was no Crane, so the easiest way to do it, it

:16:14. > :16:17.could have been that way. criticism of the marshals. Testing

:16:17. > :16:22.circumstances and well done to getting the car up the track

:16:22. > :16:30.without the safety car. That was a low light for Nick Heidfeld but you

:16:30. > :16:34.can relive the highlights tonight. After that, you can see the golf.

:16:34. > :16:39.That is on at the moment. Banded the swimming, Liam Tancock is a big

:16:39. > :16:44.Formula One fan, he will have enjoyed this. Plenty of athletics

:16:44. > :16:50.as well. However, we are disappearing for quite a few weeks.

:16:50. > :16:54.The next race is on August 27th, the Belgian Grand Prix on BBC One

:16:54. > :16:59.and BBC One HD. David Coulthard, Eddie Jordan, thank you very much.

:16:59. > :17:08.If you would like to press the red Button, a drop us a tweed, send us

:17:08. > :17:12.an e-mail-plenty to talk about on the forums. Literally exploding for

:17:12. > :17:16.Nick Heidfeld today. Decisions cost of the day for Lewis Hamilton. But
