:01:17. > :01:22.Good morning, Luke, Eddie children. Give us a push. You are on. Hello,

:01:28. > :01:34.about buying some for our friends? Which ones would you like. Nice to

:01:34. > :01:39.see you, thanks for the ride. It is much easier. We want something

:01:39. > :01:46.traditional. This man is famous in the UK for colourful shirts. What

:01:46. > :01:52.have you got? Can I have one like this red one. The looks great.

:01:52. > :01:58.look absolutely beautiful. Will we see this on air this weekend?

:01:58. > :02:08.this a Sunday shirt? Is it is a winner. What about my discount.

:02:08. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:19.has done it. The migrate shirt. There is more than India -- model

:02:19. > :02:24.

:02:24. > :02:30.India that you have not seen yet. How did you do that? We could not

:02:30. > :02:36.come to Delhi without coming here. Follow me. I do not believe this.

:02:36. > :02:41.We have seen a lot on our journey, but this is incredible. Are you

:02:41. > :02:51.going to surprise us again? course I am. Take a look at what

:02:51. > :03:03.

:03:03. > :03:13.We are in India for the first ever Indian Grand Prix watching

:03:13. > :03:46.

:03:46. > :03:56.Wild. The energy, the people, the smells, the site, the sounds, I

:03:56. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:03.love it. What a way to start the Grand Prix weekend. I hope our

:04:03. > :04:07.attempts at getting involved in the dancing did not put you off too

:04:07. > :04:12.badly, but it was infectious. Thank you for joining us for something

:04:12. > :04:17.you would have never seen before. The paddock for the Indian Grand

:04:17. > :04:21.Prix on race day. It is a brand-new race on Formula One. We have

:04:21. > :04:28.travelled right around the world. We have been to Europe, aes year,

:04:28. > :04:33.the Middle East, but nowhere like this today. India makes his bow in

:04:33. > :04:43.Formula One. We have already crowned the drivers and the

:04:43. > :04:50.

:04:50. > :04:56.constructors champions. It is a All the action from the race in a

:04:56. > :05:01.moment, but first, what happened in qualifying. A very slippery circuit

:05:01. > :05:04.and the prize up for grabs to be the first man ever on pole in India.

:05:04. > :05:08.Here is what happened with Ted Kravitz.

:05:08. > :05:14.The outcome would be affected by this moment in practice. Lewis

:05:14. > :05:21.Hamilton kept his foot down. For that indiscretion he was docked

:05:21. > :05:26.three places on the grade. There was a small but enthusiastic crowd

:05:26. > :05:35.for the first ever qualifying session. Sauber with a big theme in

:05:35. > :05:39.big trouble. Kobayashi and Perez started well down the grid. I am

:05:39. > :05:45.disappointed. This morning was quite good, but I struggled with a

:05:45. > :05:50.bit of understeer. The conditions were cold a little bit, which did

:05:50. > :05:55.not help us. We are in a reasonable shape over long distances, but

:05:55. > :05:59.qualifying was going to be quite crucial and we did not maximise it.

:06:00. > :06:09.The top four or all within a tenth of a second of each other. Jenson

:06:10. > :06:11.

:06:11. > :06:16.Button was not amongst them. I did not really get away with either of

:06:16. > :06:22.my soft tyre runs. People are trying things and backing out, so

:06:22. > :06:30.there are cards everywhere. Fernando Alonso was third on the

:06:30. > :06:37.grades. After exchanging this flexing win -- weighing for-one

:06:37. > :06:42.that did not vibrate so much, then his suspension snap. Sebastian

:06:42. > :06:49.Vettel had already passed the Ferrari's accident scene. It was an

:06:49. > :06:55.interesting session. After the first run it was very close. I knew

:06:55. > :07:03.I had to do a little bit better at. I was able to have a clean lap.

:07:03. > :07:08.Lewis Hamilton was second. But with his penalty he was 5th on the grid.

:07:08. > :07:13.I am proud to be out there because the team have worked very hard. It

:07:13. > :07:19.would be nice to be ahead of their Red Bulls. It was unfortunate, the

:07:20. > :07:25.penalty, but that is light. Mark Webber had to lift off for the

:07:25. > :07:35.crash. Sebastian Vettel is on record for having the most polls

:07:35. > :07:43.

:07:43. > :07:53.this season. RADIO: Ross, 30, today Senna 30. They will have to look

:07:53. > :08:23.

:08:23. > :08:32.out for the fast starting Alonso. Christian Horner looks on. The back

:08:32. > :08:41.of the field lines up. No sitting on the front of the Grade. Jenson

:08:41. > :08:45.Button will be there for half a minute, taking over, just waiting.

:08:45. > :08:55.This is a very big day for Indian motor sport and for that matter

:08:55. > :09:06.

:09:06. > :09:16.Formula One. There are two Saqqara Force Indias on the grave. -- grid.

:09:16. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:32.Vettel looks like he has got away Rubens Ballyclare 0 -- Barrichello

:09:32. > :09:40.

:09:40. > :09:50.are waiting. Webber is under pressure immediately down the

:09:50. > :09:52.

:09:52. > :10:00.straight. Just Shea, straight line speed. Button just flew past Mark

:10:00. > :10:05.Webber. Alonso is behind him as well. Hamilton is in sixth place.

:10:05. > :10:11.Sutil has dropped down to nine. Michael Schumacher are making a

:10:11. > :10:21.flying start, getting himself into a position behind his team-mate

:10:21. > :10:38.

:10:39. > :10:45.new, front wing. We are on board with Mark Webber. He will have been

:10:45. > :10:50.frustrated that the McLaren cruised past him. All belong Red Bull have

:10:50. > :10:58.gone for grip in the corners. That hurt him badly, David. It did

:10:58. > :11:03.indeed, but there are other factors that play in, of course. That is

:11:03. > :11:11.Perez coming in. A bit of locking up action in the background. Mazda

:11:11. > :11:21.is still being hunted down by Lewis Hamilton. He was involved in the

:11:21. > :11:27.incident at the start. Kobayashi has stopped. We saw him in trouble

:11:27. > :11:34.on the first corner. Somebody has lost their wing. Barrichello's

:11:34. > :11:41.front wing got lost on the way into the pit. Perez, Timo Glock and

:11:41. > :11:50.Barrichello have pitied. That was a long pit-stop for Rubens

:11:50. > :11:55.Barrichello. Sebastien's Vettel's League was 1.43 seconds. Webber was

:11:55. > :12:01.looking pretty strong in second. Alonso a bit too brave on the

:12:01. > :12:11.brakes. That released a Jenson Button into third. Co by Ashley was

:12:11. > :12:19.

:12:19. > :12:23.rather careless. He will get a very good view of the two Red Bulls.

:12:23. > :12:32.think he was a little bit caught out. Mark was quite early on the

:12:32. > :12:37.brakes, so he went left. He could not use mark as a reference. With

:12:37. > :12:42.the slipstream there are not going to stay with it. Sutil has locked

:12:42. > :12:52.his wheels. He hit the back of Maldonado. I think there was

:12:52. > :12:54.

:12:54. > :13:00.contact with Nico Rosberg as well. We will get another replay of that.

:13:00. > :13:10.Now we see Jarno Trulli gets spun out in the Lotus. But he has pitted.

:13:10. > :13:16.This is a replay of his pit stop. He has a right, rear puncture. So

:13:16. > :13:21.much contact. We have got these really wide turn in points and it

:13:21. > :13:28.is tempting to have a go and they all concertinaed into one point.

:13:28. > :13:34.Look at the lead that Sebastian Vettel has. It is lack of four. He

:13:34. > :13:42.leads by 2.7 seconds over Jenson Button. Hamilton is still in sixth

:13:42. > :13:52.place. Senna is in tenth place. That confirms that good start for

:13:52. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :14:02.him. Petrov is in the pit. He pitied really early. We have Timo

:14:02. > :14:08.Glock retiring from the Grand Prix. But unlocked his wheel. He is

:14:08. > :14:18.locked out. Why is he so far on the right? Webber was not that close to

:14:18. > :14:18.

:14:18. > :14:26.him. Still it is not enough. Now he is in the slipstream. Jenson goes

:14:27. > :14:36.defensive. But Jenson is having none of that. He ran sent out of

:14:37. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:48.road. You cannot force another tyres in the exit of that corner.

:14:48. > :14:54.Trying to run the speed round the outside. He should have given it up

:14:54. > :15:00.at the apex. Petrov leads over Jenson Button and Mark Webber are

:15:00. > :15:08.getting closer again. Lewis Hamilton not really hanging on his

:15:08. > :15:13.feet? I am not sure if he is just trying to save his tyres. Maybe

:15:13. > :15:23.they are trying to get away with only one stop this afternoon. We

:15:23. > :15:28.

:15:29. > :15:32.would expect them to do two. It seems strange, looking at the times.

:15:32. > :15:38.There is nothing to suggest through free practice and qualifying there

:15:38. > :15:43.was on offset between the two drivers but strategy could be

:15:43. > :15:53.playing a part at this stage. Fernando Alonso is 4th at the

:15:53. > :16:03.moment. He is normally struggling in qualifying but then ending up

:16:03. > :16:08.

:16:08. > :16:14.making his way through. Jenson Button just about at matches Alonso.

:16:14. > :16:19.Hamilton is 11.4 seconds off the lead. It is a very slow lap for

:16:19. > :16:26.Lewis Hamilton, it is not because of any traffic. Alonso is managing

:16:26. > :16:36.to keep the gap at just over a second, which is a crucial window

:16:36. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :16:45.for Massa if he is going to get it into the DRS zones. With Kobayashi

:16:45. > :16:55.taking himself out of the race at the first corner, we don't know how

:16:55. > :17:11.

:17:11. > :17:16.the hard tyres will be performing. been finding it hard enough

:17:16. > :17:26.themselves to stay on the track. This is a unique cornerback could

:17:26. > :17:28.

:17:28. > :17:38.only be the Indian Grand Prix. This is 13 which is a mighty chicane,

:17:38. > :17:40.

:17:40. > :17:45.effectively. We are already on the tenth lap. We have a static race at

:17:45. > :17:55.the moment. Let's look down the field to see who is getting the job

:17:55. > :17:57.

:17:57. > :18:03.done. The Bruno Senna or under pressure from Buemi. This is

:18:03. > :18:09.another DRS zone although Bruno Senna has no answer to the straight

:18:09. > :18:17.line speed of the Toro Rosso. You climb the hill to turned three, and

:18:17. > :18:27.it is absolutely totally unsighted. Even when you are walking it, let

:18:27. > :18:45.

:18:45. > :18:51.alone when you are sitting on the No KERS any more. They have to

:18:51. > :18:58.reset the system. Try and get it to kick back into life and if that

:18:58. > :19:08.does not work, it will cost him three-tenths of a second not having

:19:08. > :19:22.

:19:22. > :19:28.are making their way back through the field. Ted Kravitz? He has

:19:28. > :19:38.pitted to get the hard tyres out the way along with Petrov. Force

:19:38. > :19:52.

:19:52. > :20:02.India mirroring what it Renault are like a service road, and a lot of

:20:02. > :20:02.

:20:02. > :20:09.marshals from Bahrain, helping out. He is well out of the way.

:20:10. > :20:17.Technical problems for Maldonado. He was in 13th. That moves at

:20:17. > :20:25.Kovalainen up the field. Looking at the grass, it looks like he has

:20:25. > :20:35.locked up his rear axle. It looks like he has broken the drive when

:20:35. > :20:35.

:20:35. > :20:43.he has done the gear shift. Mark Webber in the pit lane we believe.

:20:43. > :20:51.There is Mark Webber. End of laps 16. How close was that! Ferrari

:20:51. > :20:58.goes down, it is a dusty pit lane. The left side of the pit lane is

:20:58. > :21:05.concrete. Must be something to do if they spilled fuel. Michael

:21:05. > :21:08.Schumacher getting round the outside of the Ferrari. Alonso has

:21:08. > :21:15.dropped a place to Michael Schumacher. He will be keen to get

:21:15. > :21:23.a move on and try to get past him. He will be in the DRS zone on the

:21:23. > :21:27.back straight. Alonso needs to be getting on with this. Mark Webber

:21:27. > :21:31.is clear of that in front. Michael Schumacher has not pitied yet.

:21:31. > :21:37.Fernando Alonso, as you say possibly getting on with that. He

:21:37. > :21:41.seems to be closer to Mark Webber than he was before the pit stop. It

:21:41. > :21:46.has worked very well for them except for the traffic. Michael

:21:46. > :21:50.Schumacher does not have to get out of the way. Look how close Mark

:21:50. > :21:57.she'll was to Mark Webber. He has fresher tyres but it looks like he

:21:57. > :22:07.is taking more time to get them up to speed. This is costing Alonso

:22:07. > :22:17.

:22:17. > :22:23.Dili. Alonso surely will be pass is the front wing that has been

:22:23. > :22:33.much spoken about. They have to have the new ones that was

:22:33. > :22:37.strengthened. One of them met its match against a wall in qualifying.

:22:37. > :22:47.Still, at a LAN Alonso has not made his way past Michael Schumacher,

:22:47. > :22:59.

:22:59. > :23:09.who will get the DRS down the less Schumacher goes round the

:23:09. > :23:13.

:23:13. > :23:18.outside on the Brake. -- brake. Ted Kravitz? Ferrari reacted to Massa.

:23:18. > :23:27.Mark Webber who is doing some quick times, they are bringing Jenson

:23:27. > :23:33.Button in. Hamilton was not able to pass a Mergulho in those stops.

:23:33. > :23:40.There is Jenson Button pitting as you predicted. He was five seconds

:23:40. > :23:46.behind at the end of the previous complete lap. A way he goes. Tyres

:23:46. > :23:52.have come out of the blankets around 100 degrees centigrade. They

:23:52. > :23:59.tried to heat the wheels as well. They peaked at over 1000 degrees

:23:59. > :24:05.centigrade towards the end of a breaking his own. 3.5 seconds for

:24:05. > :24:11.McLaren to get Jenson Button on his way. Nico Rosberg, who is also just

:24:11. > :24:19.pitting. Schumacher decides he fancies a set of those tyres that

:24:19. > :24:26.Alonso just whistled past him on. Michael Schumacher or pits. We have

:24:26. > :24:30.a clumsy pit exit? I don't get it. Why, when they Design these

:24:30. > :24:35.fantastic facilities they come up with what looks like an

:24:35. > :24:41.afterthought to exit the pit. Maybe I will have to ask Charlie Whiting.

:24:41. > :24:45.There must be some FIA I reasoned why the pit lane exit has to join

:24:45. > :24:54.before the first corner. Looking at the times, this pit stop his

:24:54. > :24:57.Sebastian Vettel, coming in for his set of option tyres. Hamilton was

:24:57. > :25:03.struggling on those first set of tyres, now he has been matching the

:25:03. > :25:13.race leader with his fresh options. Great camera angle on the world

:25:13. > :25:16.

:25:16. > :25:23.champion. Away nicely. We have seen a few 2.8, two point nine this year.

:25:23. > :25:28.We will see how it works out. He was exactly five ahead before the

:25:28. > :25:36.pit stop phase. We will have a look at the end of this lack. Mark

:25:36. > :25:44.Webber has just done a fastest lap which has been beaten by Massa. We

:25:44. > :25:54.are on board with Lewis Hamilton who is getting close to Massa.

:25:54. > :26:05.

:26:05. > :26:10.very excited about those wide corners. If it wasn't so dirty I

:26:10. > :26:20.think it would work better. Plenty of Cannes going on for Lewis

:26:20. > :26:22.

:26:22. > :26:28.Hamilton. -- KERS. The attributes to Bob Marley on the top of his

:26:29. > :26:38.crash helmet. Do you know the reason, David? I think he is a fan!

:26:39. > :26:55.

:26:55. > :27:04.And I just make that up. -- made saw at Cern three a little while

:27:04. > :27:08.ago, Lewis Hamilton so close to him. Lewis right out there on the dirt.

:27:08. > :27:14.-- turned three. I would love to show you a different camera angle

:27:14. > :27:22.to that. It looks like you are heading for the sky, then there is

:27:22. > :27:29.a hairpin. You don't actually see the corner when you are breaking.

:27:29. > :27:39.You start heading up hill, hit the brakes, and then the corner appears

:27:39. > :27:40.

:27:40. > :27:45.to. He has gone up the inside! That is interesting! The problem is,

:27:45. > :27:52.Massa could not see him in his blind spot. He legitimately had his

:27:52. > :27:56.car positions to be able to go for the past. It was just in that

:27:56. > :28:00.horrible area way you have a massive blind spot where you have

:28:00. > :28:05.to get your wheel along side the side parts of the car you are

:28:05. > :28:09.trying to overtake so he can see you there. That is why I talked

:28:09. > :28:16.about a Lewis Hamilton knowing better than me. Let's have a look

:28:16. > :28:23.at it. Lewis Hamilton comes up the inside this time. He will say, you

:28:23. > :28:29.should have let me go because I have a line. Mergulho will say he

:28:29. > :28:34.was entitled to turn in. Let's look at this David. What is your view?

:28:35. > :28:40.We saw on the graphic before this incident, Lewis Hamilton still had

:28:40. > :28:46.some KERS left over. I wonder if he planned that. He won't use all of

:28:47. > :28:52.his KERS in the obvious DRS zones. He had a little extra boost and was

:28:52. > :28:57.committed to it. Unfortunately you needed a compliance other racer to

:28:57. > :29:03.make that work in that situation. Massa could not just jump out of

:29:03. > :29:07.the way? He would have been in the sand and on the barriers anyway.

:29:07. > :29:12.Hamilton did not make a clean pass and that is why we have seen an

:29:12. > :29:22.incident. He will say I had my car up the inside. Massa will say you

:29:22. > :29:29.

:29:29. > :29:38.were not far enough alongside for seven. I wonder if he has got any

:29:38. > :29:42.suspension damage with that? Felipe Massa still in sixth place. This is

:29:42. > :29:51.Lewis Hamilton back on the track. This is the corner where he

:29:51. > :29:59.connected. It looks pretty slippery. He had to drop an extra gear. That

:29:59. > :30:05.looks like a steaming Toro Rosso. That is unusual. Ferrari did have a

:30:05. > :30:13.problem with Fernando Alonso's engine on Friday practice. That is

:30:13. > :30:23.not an easy car to recover. The incident involving Hamilton and

:30:23. > :30:23.

:30:23. > :30:29.Felipe Massa is under investigation. OK, referee, what do you think is

:30:29. > :30:34.going to happen? You probably would have to blow your whistle. What do

:30:34. > :30:44.you think the stewards are going to say? It is definitely a racing

:30:44. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:51.incident. RADIO: He just turned in on me, he did not give me any space.

:30:51. > :30:59.That would have been my opinion if I was behind the wheel of that car.

:30:59. > :31:06.Felipe Massa would be saying, what was he doing there? What do you

:31:06. > :31:13.think is going to happen? I am sitting on the fence. I will slowly

:31:13. > :31:18.stepped off. Because of the history this season those two eyes have

:31:18. > :31:21.together, there could be a penalty applied. Raising his racing and

:31:21. > :31:26.sometimes you have incidents and I would put that down as a racing

:31:26. > :31:32.incident. I do not think there was any malicious intent. He was trying

:31:32. > :31:37.to strategically get his car in front. What do you think? I think

:31:37. > :31:47.it is very close to being a racing incident? I have got a feeling he

:31:47. > :31:50.

:31:50. > :31:57.will get a penalty for it. A drive- through penalty. A drive-through

:31:57. > :32:01.penalty for car six. It is for causing a collision. That is Felipe

:32:01. > :32:08.Massa. They have penalised Felipe Massa for turning in on Lewis

:32:08. > :32:18.Hamilton. Exactly as we predicted. Exactly the opposite to what we

:32:18. > :32:19.

:32:19. > :32:27.predicted would happen!. Barely pay has got the penalty for that one.

:32:27. > :32:37.He will get a much better drive out of the corner. -- Felipe Massa has

:32:37. > :32:39.

:32:39. > :32:49.got the panel did. Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button and Webber are the

:32:59. > :33:04.is right now. RADIO: Felipe Massa has been given a penalty. He could

:33:04. > :33:14.well find himself on the same pace of tarmac as Lewis Hamilton again.

:33:14. > :33:15.

:33:15. > :33:20.He is serving that penalty. He is a long way ahead. Felipe Massa has

:33:20. > :33:30.got Rubens Barrichello around him. Hamilton gets the job done down

:33:30. > :33:34.

:33:34. > :33:43.into Turn One. He is up into eighth place. There he is, cresting, turn

:33:43. > :33:51.three per. There are black markers ahead. The next man up the road for

:33:51. > :33:57.Lewis Hamilton is Michael Schumacher. He is ahead of Felipe

:33:57. > :34:07.Massa, who has now done his drive through. Felipe Massa is the next

:34:07. > :34:15.man up the road in terms opposition. Felipe Massa is nursing a bit of a

:34:15. > :34:21.gearbox issued. Fernando Alonso is the fastest man out there. He is in

:34:21. > :34:31.fourth place. Felipe Massa must have slotted back in in seventh

:34:31. > :34:32.

:34:32. > :34:38.place from his drive through. We are expecting a Ferrari in the pits.

:34:38. > :34:43.When you do a drive-through you are not allowed to stop for a tyres or

:34:43. > :34:49.repairs. It has to be a pure penalty, and now it is served his

:34:50. > :34:55.time. They are changing the nose as well. Hard tyres are going on. They

:34:55. > :35:05.are much slower tyres. Your heart would St seeing the white markers

:35:05. > :35:11.

:35:11. > :35:19.on that. A long way to go. 28 laps to go. -- your heart would sink.

:35:19. > :35:29.Look at that. The famous resonating front wing. It is a new front wing.

:35:29. > :35:36.

:35:36. > :35:46.It is very similar to the Red Bull front wing. Petrov. He is out of

:35:46. > :35:49.

:35:49. > :35:56.trouble. He picked up all that does. We saw it in practice. -- dust.

:35:56. > :36:00.Let's talk about the Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton think again. The

:36:00. > :36:04.stewards get far more information than you at home or are we in the

:36:04. > :36:11.commentary box do. They have clearly seen something. What will

:36:11. > :36:18.Felipe Massa have done? I do not get it personally. His front left

:36:18. > :36:24.his damaged. Whether that is the hard tyres, we won't need a replay

:36:24. > :36:29.to see what is going on. We saw him break the suspension in qualifying.

:36:29. > :36:39.Surely that is the contact with the McLaren? He did not hit the front

:36:39. > :36:41.

:36:41. > :36:48.wheel. I thought he did. It remains to be seen whether that was over

:36:48. > :36:56.the concrete secondary curbs. The mechanics hate that. It takes them

:36:56. > :37:05.ages to clean it up. We do not know if it was on a kerb, or whether it

:37:05. > :37:12.was through contact. It looks like a kerb. It is the pushrod. That is

:37:12. > :37:21.the second time it has happened. That is not due to contact with

:37:21. > :37:31.anybody else. That is due to hitting its and it cannot take that

:37:31. > :37:34.

:37:34. > :37:40.instant load. We have got a name for those big, orange curbs. That

:37:40. > :37:45.is Petrov that has just come out after a pit stop. Will he look in

:37:45. > :37:52.his mirror to make sure that Petrov is not going to try and pass him

:37:52. > :37:59.again in the braking zone? Michael Schumacher is 6th. RADIO: Michael,

:37:59. > :38:05.pace is very good. Felipe Massa, front suspension failure, so be

:38:05. > :38:12.careful of the Orange curbs. Good, clear information for Michael

:38:12. > :38:22.Schumacher will stop he is one of the very best at absorbing

:38:22. > :38:30.information whilst driving a Grand Prix car. Vettel is amusing himself

:38:30. > :38:36.out front. Schumacher is 3.3 behind Rosberg. Catching the pair of them

:38:36. > :38:46.is Lewis Hamilton. He has got a great chance. He has got a great

:38:46. > :38:56.

:38:56. > :38:59.chance of fifth-place. Alguersuari is Number eight. Buemi is

:38:59. > :39:04.unfortunately out through what looked like an engine problem. We

:39:04. > :39:10.have lost a four cars, a high attrition rate here compared to

:39:10. > :39:20.recent races, it must be said. Petrov passes Kovalainen for 12th

:39:20. > :39:28.place. It looked rather easy, didn't it? We have lost Timo Glock,

:39:28. > :39:33.Buemi and Kobayashi. Let's see what Alonso does with that left kerb. He

:39:33. > :39:40.does not go anywhere near the Orange, secondary sausages. What do

:39:40. > :39:46.you want to call them? We will go with the information from Michael's

:39:46. > :39:53.engineer and call it the Orange kerb. That is Mark Webber we are

:39:53. > :39:57.seeing just in front. Using a bit too much of the kerb. The Red Bull

:39:57. > :40:03.mechanics are out and this will be Mark Webber coming in. He was using

:40:03. > :40:13.a lot of time. And it is a hard tyre, said that is going to be

:40:13. > :40:18.

:40:19. > :40:22.horrible for Mark Webber. I can see a ring of tyre wear. There is hard

:40:22. > :40:30.tyre is one second a lap slower and he has got them for the rest of the

:40:30. > :40:35.race. Before we lost Felipe Massa, it looks like his sectors were not

:40:35. > :40:44.too hard. I wonder if the Webber team are going with that

:40:44. > :40:49.information. Let's keep an eye on that, Ted. This is Alonso pitting.

:40:49. > :40:57.He is pitting from third place. Ted is down there. Ferraris had to

:40:57. > :41:07.react. Base saw that the hard tyres were working. They knew if Mark

:41:07. > :41:08.

:41:08. > :41:12.Webber was able to stay within 22 seconds, he could jump Alonso.

:41:12. > :41:18.Alonso is ahead of Webber and he comes out of the pits, ahead of

:41:18. > :41:24.Mark Webber. Running that little bit longer on those tyres. It has

:41:24. > :41:34.given him track position. Now we will see something. Webber loses

:41:34. > :41:40.out. But then breezed down past him on be straight in the first lap and

:41:40. > :41:50.he now finds himself in fourth place. He has got his tyres up to

:41:50. > :41:50.

:41:50. > :41:55.speed. He knows where he is on these hard tyres. Whilst Alonso

:41:55. > :42:05.finds his feet on these hard tyres, Mark has got to make his move.

:42:05. > :42:06.

:42:06. > :42:12.are not cold. It is not that they are cold, they have got a brand-new

:42:12. > :42:22.tyres. There is a man who has kept his helmet on a long time and that

:42:22. > :42:23.

:42:23. > :42:33.is a clear sign to the media, do not asked me a question. Jenson

:42:33. > :42:33.

:42:33. > :42:39.Button has just broken another record. Sebastian Vettel has just

:42:39. > :42:49.broken up Nigel Mansell's 1992 record. He keeps knocking those

:42:49. > :42:52.

:42:52. > :43:02.records down and he is just 24 years old. 15 to go. Perez is

:43:02. > :43:04.

:43:04. > :43:12.catching Adrain Sutil. Perez is dragging Petrov along with them.

:43:12. > :43:18.Rosberg pits to go on to the hard tyres. There they are. This is

:43:18. > :43:28.crucial for his battle with Schumacher. Hamilton pits for the

:43:28. > :43:31.

:43:31. > :43:36.hard tyre as well. A clean release. It looked a better pit stop for

:43:36. > :43:41.Hamilton. Now it is a straight fight towards the end of the Grand

:43:41. > :43:49.Prix. Can he get out ahead of the traffic? That was the race leader

:43:49. > :43:59.coming down there. Button pits for McLaren as well. Lewis with his

:43:59. > :44:00.

:44:00. > :44:10.various dramas is in danger of being lapped. Surely they have got

:44:10. > :44:10.

:44:10. > :44:16.to come in and covered that one up? Jenson Button are claiming the apex

:44:16. > :44:22.of turn one. It was important for him. He could not yield there,

:44:22. > :44:32.otherwise he would have had other traffic as well. Bruno Senna is now

:44:32. > :45:06.

:45:06. > :45:16.the final terms. Vettel will have a clean run into the first turn.

:45:16. > :45:19.

:45:19. > :45:29.Alonso still ahead of Mark Webber. It looks to me as if Jenson Button

:45:29. > :45:31.

:45:31. > :45:41.has gained a little from the pit stop phase. This is the 4th longest

:45:41. > :45:43.

:45:43. > :45:51.straight in Formula One. We will find out what Vettel's League is at

:45:51. > :46:01.the end of this lap. It looks like it is slightly less to meet. --

:46:01. > :46:02.

:46:02. > :46:09.lead is. Michael Schumacher is ahead of Nico Rosberg, I believe.

:46:09. > :46:17.That's because he has won more stock to go. He is running a second

:46:17. > :46:22.a lap faster. If he keeps this up, he would jump him at the stop.

:46:22. > :46:28.has gained a second on that lap alone. Michael Schumacher in with a

:46:28. > :46:38.great chance of maintaining his position ahead of Nico Rosberg.

:46:38. > :46:46.Alguersuari has come back out in eighth place. There is Maldonado.

:46:46. > :46:56.Mark Webber, 1.3 - he went very wide berth through the exit of 11.

:46:56. > :47:12.

:47:12. > :47:21.He did not lose too much there did get himself ahead of his younger

:47:21. > :47:27.team-mates? On go the hard tyres. Rosberg will come to become out in

:47:27. > :47:33.front of him. From a 2.5 second deficit, you can see Rosberg in the

:47:33. > :47:43.background, looks to me about 45 seconds. Michael locked up as he

:47:43. > :48:16.

:48:17. > :48:26.entered the first corner. -- four on. He moves out of ninth place. It

:48:27. > :48:29.

:48:29. > :48:38.will cost in three places. He will come out ahead of di Resta. That

:48:38. > :48:48.has cost Renault some points. Senna dig dropping to 12 place. Di Resta,

:48:48. > :49:19.

:49:19. > :49:29.advantage to be second in the World place between Mark Webber and

:49:29. > :49:30.

:49:30. > :49:38.Fernando Alonso. Critically, will Mark Webber it gets the DRS?

:49:38. > :49:43.RADIO: You have the fastest lap, bring it home. They are trying to

:49:43. > :49:48.stop Vettel from doing a hot lap as he comes to the line again. Mark

:49:48. > :49:57.Webber did get the advantage of the DRS but it has only put him in with

:49:57. > :50:03.a reasonable range for places to pass before the end of the lap.

:50:03. > :50:07.Sebastian Vettel is heading towards the final corner, to add another to

:50:07. > :50:15.his collection. The Sebastian Vettel becomes the first ever

:50:15. > :50:20.winner of the Indian Grand Prix. He has led the most laps ever in a

:50:20. > :50:29.season. Jenson Button, another second place for him. 8.5 seconds

:50:29. > :50:36.behind in the end. Vettel had it covered. Alonso beat Mark Webber

:50:36. > :50:46.for third place. And the final shot on the podium for Ferrari. Mark

:50:46. > :50:51.

:50:51. > :50:55.Webber comes home 40 seconds behind. It is Abu Dhabi next in two weeks'

:50:55. > :51:01.It is Abu Dhabi next in two weeks' time. But for now, we will savour

:51:01. > :51:05.the sights, sounds and colours of India. Sebastian Vettel, the first

:51:05. > :51:09.winner of the Grand Prix of India. winner of the Grand Prix of India.

:51:09. > :51:14.He remains the man to beat. It wasn't a classic, but we have

:51:14. > :51:20.introduced India to Formula One. And we have also introduce them to

:51:20. > :51:26.Sebastian Vettel. 25 points for him. Jenson Button is in form, another

:51:26. > :51:30.podium for him. Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber fighting it out for

:51:30. > :51:40.third place. Lewis Hamilton and Philippe a mass or enjoying each

:51:40. > :51:45.

:51:45. > :51:49.other's company again this Championship, Sebastian Vettel with

:51:49. > :51:59.374 points in the Championship. What a great result for Jenson

:51:59. > :52:04.

:52:04. > :52:07.Button, a good time to finish in distant fifth place. In a

:52:07. > :52:11.constructors battle we can confirm McLaren have finished in second

:52:11. > :52:21.place. Look at the congested midfield looking tight and close.

:52:21. > :52:24.

:52:24. > :52:30.Let's now hear from the boys at Yesterday and wrote a message to my

:52:30. > :52:33.friend. Normally when I look back I get 100 text messages. Nowadays I

:52:33. > :52:39.get only four. But it is still something special because it should

:52:39. > :52:46.be. It could be the last one, it could be the last race win. It was

:52:46. > :52:52.impossible to close him down. After the pit stops, the car felt good.

:52:52. > :52:58.Before Vettel settled into a pace I managed to get the gap down to 2.8.

:52:58. > :53:05.But it wasn't enough. Tell us about the incidents are with Massa, he

:53:05. > :53:08.obviously got a drive through. has not spoken to me for a long

:53:08. > :53:13.time. I made an effort and put my arm around him and said good luck

:53:13. > :53:19.with the race. In the race, I tried to overtake. I tried to come out of

:53:19. > :53:28.it because it look like he wouldn't give me any space and we collided.

:53:28. > :53:33.I am sorry for my team. I think we might be underestimating it. Start

:53:33. > :53:37.on the hard tyres, it was always the plan to come in. With the help

:53:37. > :53:42.of the safety car, it was probably a risk. But one worth taking

:53:42. > :53:46.because if it had worked out you would have gained a pit stop and on

:53:46. > :53:52.the race on three sets of soft tyres, which was the quickest way.

:53:52. > :53:58.The sun has set and the Grand Prix and Eddie Jordan's codes as he

:53:58. > :54:05.embraces Indian culture. The grandstand behind us, do you think

:54:05. > :54:10.India grab hold of Formula One this weekend? I have no doubt. They

:54:10. > :54:14.supported it, not just with dancing stars and the cricket stars, but a

:54:14. > :54:18.whole grandstand was swamped. When they see the fall-out of everything

:54:18. > :54:22.that goes on from the media globally, they put it into context

:54:22. > :54:27.and value it all out, they would say it has been a huge success.

:54:27. > :54:32.Just to drive home to everybody what the national game is, it was

:54:32. > :54:36.their most famous cricketer who wave the chequered flag. This is

:54:36. > :54:41.what Formula One is all about. We have shown India what the sport is

:54:42. > :54:46.all about in 2011? It was a little bit downbeat, I would like to have

:54:46. > :54:51.seen a much more exciting race. We are not going to get that for the

:54:51. > :54:56.remainder of this year in my views. Sebastian Vettel is in a different

:54:56. > :55:00.zone, mentally he is miles ahead of anyone else. There is nothing he

:55:00. > :55:05.fears any more. He has won almost any accolade you can get, whether

:55:05. > :55:08.it is pole positions or the numbers of laps led in a Grand Prix. He is

:55:08. > :55:13.at a different level and it will take an almighty job for anyone to

:55:13. > :55:18.catch him. The only man almost on his level this year has been Jenson

:55:18. > :55:24.Button. We know he has a slower car a time at the time he has been

:55:24. > :55:30.close. He made kind of the race out of this? He made a very honest job

:55:30. > :55:36.of it. His car he is driving, Jenson Button that is, is much more

:55:36. > :55:40.than two seconds away from an entire race. A match point of view

:55:40. > :55:44.I'd been Jenson Button and performed in this particular car. I

:55:44. > :55:47.have this little thing in the back of my mind, it Jenson Button get

:55:47. > :55:53.within striking distance of Sebastian Vettel, we saw what

:55:53. > :55:56.happened in Canada. I have a thing in my mind of all the drivers that

:55:56. > :56:01.Sebastian Vettel at least the -- least wants to see on his tail is

:56:01. > :56:04.Jenson Button. It is a very frustrating weekend Lewis Hamilton

:56:04. > :56:09.he finished off the podium but he did pick up some valuable

:56:09. > :56:13.Championship points. Thanks for joining us for the first Indian
