The Korean Grand Prix

:01:42. > :01:52.fantastic. There are so many things you want to say in this moment but

:01:52. > :02:11.

:02:11. > :02:18.going for glory? Going for glory, that is why we are here.

:02:18. > :02:24.You are the 2011 world champion - well done! I am just so thankful to

:02:25. > :02:34.everyone in the team and it is great to achieve the goal we set

:02:35. > :03:01.

:03:01. > :03:06.indulgence cue can beat when reflecting on this sport. Life has

:03:06. > :03:10.moved on for the man and his car. It is all about picking up another

:03:10. > :03:15.trophy and adding another win. Thanks for getting up early and

:03:15. > :03:22.joining us for like Formula One. David Coulthard is with me, no

:03:22. > :03:25.Eddie Jordan last week -- this weekend, but last weekend we got a

:03:25. > :03:30.close-up of Sebastian Vettel becoming world champion. Could the

:03:30. > :03:38.one way to describe that was emotional? We saw the tears in his

:03:38. > :03:44.eyes, as he realised the enormity of his achievement. He is a man who

:03:44. > :03:50.appreciates history. Apart from a bit of a hangover the following day,

:03:50. > :03:54.was he quite reflective? He was, he was talking about you have to be

:03:54. > :04:04.comfortable with the man you see in the mirror. The said he does not

:04:04. > :04:04.

:04:04. > :04:09.always feel comfortable with that man. But across the course of the

:04:09. > :04:16.season he is comfortable with how he has won his second Championship.

:04:16. > :04:21.And he wasn't even out of bed at 6:00am. It has just gone 2pm and we

:04:21. > :04:25.are less than an hour away until the race begins. It is much a

:04:25. > :04:30.celebration for Sebastian Vettel who is a global start. He has

:04:30. > :04:36.wandered world title and has enjoyed 15 different countries, 15

:04:36. > :04:46.races. We have had four winners, and talking of difference, there is

:04:46. > :05:11.

:05:11. > :05:17.no where we visit quite like South say, the grandstand is filling up.

:05:17. > :05:22.There were thousands of fans as we came out, David, are you ready to

:05:22. > :05:27.answer some questions? What have you made a South Korea. This is

:05:27. > :05:32.your first trip here and this is all the entertainment. You cannot

:05:32. > :05:37.say they have not made an effort? was very underwhelmed when I

:05:37. > :05:43.arrived because the track is by an industrialised area. But as time

:05:43. > :05:49.has gone on, and talking to the people, and you can see the efforts,

:05:49. > :05:56.they are behind his Grand Prix. I expect a full crowd. I do cute the

:05:56. > :06:01.sights and sounds of the local town, Yeongam, what do you make of it?

:06:01. > :06:07.is a lot of neon. We went to a nice restaurant, good energy and lots of

:06:07. > :06:13.families enjoying themselves. There is a higher IQ in his country and

:06:13. > :06:17.they are making good use of it. They look at the fact we are five

:06:17. > :06:23.hours on a bus from Seoul, a rural area, but you have to make an

:06:23. > :06:27.effort to get here, but when you do, it is a special track. I was

:06:27. > :06:32.talking to a lot of the drivers last night, there is only one main

:06:32. > :06:42.hotel and everybody was hanging out there. They love this Middlesex and.

:06:42. > :06:47.

:06:47. > :06:54.They get up to 200 mph,. -- middle section. The specimen may have low

:06:54. > :06:59.fuel,. The we have discussed how special it is to be here and how

:06:59. > :07:05.brilliance Sebastian Vettel's win was. Nobody talked about Jenson

:07:05. > :07:10.Button winning. Is it because the title has been one this win is

:07:10. > :07:13.overlooked light Mark Webber in Brazil in 2009? That was a

:07:13. > :07:18.fantastic victory for Jenson Button, he had to control his emotions at

:07:18. > :07:23.the beginning of the race. He felt Sebastian Vettel was a little bit

:07:23. > :07:29.aggressive. He was passed by Lewis Hamilton, and never a good thing

:07:29. > :07:35.when you have two cars in front of you. He managed, he come through

:07:35. > :07:39.and won the race with just the much -- Justina fuel to cross the line.

:07:39. > :07:44.The man who use of them will be the man for of confidence because that

:07:44. > :07:49.is Jenson Button who won the last race and that means the gap between

:07:49. > :07:54.him and Sebastian Vettel is 114 points. But he cannot catch him, he

:07:54. > :08:01.is looking over his shoulder at the last of Fernando Alonso, Lewis

:08:01. > :08:05.Hamilton and Mark Webber who are all chasing second place. Red Bull

:08:06. > :08:15.aim they added do better than McLaren or equal their results. If

:08:15. > :08:19.that happens, Red Bull will be the constructors champions this year.

:08:19. > :08:29.Where would Jenson Button be starting on the grid? That victory

:08:29. > :08:38.

:08:38. > :08:44.in Japan men's McLaren have managed wraps up the Championship in Japan,

:08:44. > :08:48.and a week later in Maradas Lakoue we are treated soon the most

:08:48. > :08:51.uncompetitive qualifying of the year. It has been 14 years since

:08:51. > :08:55.Williams are won a Championship and Rubens Barrichello was the first

:08:55. > :09:05.big-name knocked out after struggling. Michael Schumacher

:09:05. > :09:09.

:09:09. > :09:15.missed the top 10 after a wheel vibrations slowed him down. Today

:09:15. > :09:19.didn't go to plan. It is my first by a qualifying of the year, and I

:09:19. > :09:25.hope tomorrow will be a better day. At the end of the day these things

:09:25. > :09:31.happen. The car is consistent and hopefully it will be the right

:09:31. > :09:40.sector for tomorrow. Force India made it into the top 10 shoot-out

:09:40. > :09:43.but a elected not to set a time to save tyres. Felipe Massa and

:09:43. > :09:47.qualified Fernando Alonso for the second time in successive races.

:09:47. > :09:52.But he has not been given the new from win this weekend that has gone

:09:52. > :09:58.to Alonso. But Fernando is not sure whether it made things better or

:09:58. > :10:04.worse. Or was the new wing OK? No answer,

:10:04. > :10:10.maybe. I was able to do a good lap, even not having the new front wing.

:10:11. > :10:14.I think it was very positive for me. I am looking forward to have a good

:10:14. > :10:20.raise false start that left an intense final few minutes as

:10:20. > :10:25.McLaren tried to end Red Bull's domination in qualifying. Mark

:10:25. > :10:30.Webber is fourth on the grid. Jenson Button his third. McLaren

:10:30. > :10:36.are at a slight disadvantage after Red Bull managed to save three sets

:10:36. > :10:40.of tyres were as McLaren only have two new sets for the race. It was

:10:40. > :10:43.an event for last lap was Sebastian Vettel. Red Bull chose to be lost

:10:43. > :10:48.on the track, but they were running out of time to fit new tyres and

:10:49. > :10:53.refuel. In his haste to get back to the pits, Sebastian Vettel cut the

:10:53. > :10:57.corner of turn five, which is against the rules. The stewards

:10:57. > :11:02.investigated but designed -- decided he had not gained an

:11:02. > :11:06.advantage and let him off. Lewis Hamilton parked his personal

:11:06. > :11:11.comments in the garage and drove a stunning lap for his first pole

:11:11. > :11:15.position of the season. It has been a roller-coaster of a year. It is

:11:15. > :11:24.great to be there and it is AA better starting position for

:11:24. > :11:32.tomorrow. But Samarra is an important day. -- tomorrow. I was

:11:32. > :11:36.surprised in Q3 to see how close we were. We ran a bit of a different

:11:36. > :11:41.strategy regarding the tyres. But it turns out to be an advantage. We

:11:41. > :11:50.hope to take the fight to them tomorrow. We should be in good

:11:50. > :11:55.shape, probably a bit better in the race than last week. One of our set

:11:55. > :12:01.of tyres has a three-time lack. Hopefully when we put on our new

:12:01. > :12:07.set of tyres, if we do, we will be so far in the lead, it won't matter.

:12:07. > :12:12.Lewis Hamilton looking to win to cheer himself up. Jenson Button is

:12:12. > :12:18.pleased to be on the clean side of the grid. Mark Webber leads the

:12:18. > :12:28.Ferrari's who will be a factor. Rosberg fans that Petrov lead the

:12:28. > :12:44.

:12:44. > :12:48.from here for Daniel Ricardo. Lewis Hamilton said he cannot see very

:12:48. > :12:57.much out of his wing mirrors, but he will need them today because he

:12:57. > :13:00.starts at the front. As we heard from Martin Whitmarsh, it is

:13:00. > :13:05.important for a team to show they have the right combination of

:13:05. > :13:10.driver and car. From the get go, Lewis Hamilton was looking most

:13:10. > :13:16.likely. In wet conditions in all three practice sessions he was

:13:16. > :13:21.fastest. In the car, he was supreme. Great to hear you and Martin

:13:21. > :13:28.enjoying his driving. He did his talking on the track yesterday. But

:13:28. > :13:33.he has had some interesting stuff to say off the track. People will

:13:33. > :13:40.be asking what the problems are. Is that something you can shed any

:13:40. > :13:44.light on? No, I cannot explain. I am still trying to figure it out.

:13:44. > :13:51.Will a wind changed all that and get you back to a happy place?

:13:51. > :13:55.don't think so, I think a winner would be great for the team, but I

:13:55. > :14:00.think it will take some time and take a lot to recover from the

:14:00. > :14:06.difficulties we have had this year. Finally, something other than a Red

:14:06. > :14:11.Bull on pole position. Lewis Hamilton takes it. Congratulate

:14:12. > :14:20.shins, your first pole position in a long time, it appears you have

:14:20. > :14:27.your swagger back? Yes. It is an emotional pole position? Not really,

:14:27. > :14:31.it has been a roller-coaster of the year. To be back on pole position

:14:31. > :14:36.is a great feeling of course. I have had some difficult races in

:14:36. > :14:42.the past, so hopefully I will try to redeem myself tomorrow. Smiling

:14:42. > :14:47.has been a rare thing to see Lewis Hamilton do this weekend. The most

:14:47. > :14:51.telling moments, he climbs out of the car and this is his body

:14:51. > :14:57.language afterwards. It tells us just as much as any of those

:14:57. > :15:02.interviews. What did thing is going on? I thought he had injured his

:15:02. > :15:06.back or something, he got out of the car so slowly. He has had that

:15:06. > :15:14.car by the scruff of the neck and delivered a beautiful lap. He

:15:14. > :15:17.clearly has some other issues in his mind. I think he needs a break.

:15:17. > :15:23.Sincere arrived in Formula One he has been under a relentless

:15:23. > :15:28.spotlight. I know people at home might say, poor little wealthy a

:15:28. > :15:32.racing driver. But people have to walk a mile in his shoes. And he

:15:32. > :15:40.has talons in abundance but he needs to get away from the end of

:15:40. > :15:44.the season and recover. -- talent. I think he needs to get away and

:15:44. > :15:48.enjoy a long winter break and regroup for next year. You have

:15:48. > :15:53.walked a mile in his shoes, he has just appeared in the back of the

:15:53. > :15:57.garage. We don't have to look far to seek his support no work. When

:15:57. > :16:00.you drove for this team and you are struggling, we know you had an

:16:00. > :16:10.issue in qualifying for a period, did you get the support you need

:16:10. > :16:19.

:16:19. > :16:22.driver to do the best for the car and all the support that the driver

:16:22. > :16:30.needs, they are individuals in their own way, and the team reacts

:16:30. > :16:36.to that. McLaren have had 700 Grand Prix, they have dealt with many

:16:36. > :16:41.drivers. We cannot wait until there is Hamilton is smiling again and

:16:41. > :16:45.winning races because he's a fantastic guy to watch. Lewis, with

:16:45. > :16:50.a smile on his face, he is a character and that is what we want

:16:50. > :16:58.to see him again. There should be the happiest moment of his life in

:16:59. > :17:04.many ways so hopefully he will have that grin back again soon. A few

:17:04. > :17:14.rows behind him is the man starting 13th and has not got next year's

:17:14. > :17:16.

:17:16. > :17:22.drive confirmed yet. I am joined by a Sebastien Buemi. We did not have

:17:22. > :17:28.a lot of running on Friday. It was wet and today he is going to be a

:17:28. > :17:35.dry race. Yesterday we had quite a long run which was quite promising.

:17:35. > :17:39.How much is the Constructors' Championship in your mind? It is in

:17:39. > :17:45.everyone's minds in the team but I believe we have a chance to finish

:17:45. > :17:52.and fight against the Sauber. Yesterday we went very close to

:17:52. > :17:56.them in qualifying. We will fight hard but I think we have our chance.

:17:56. > :18:03.What about next year, do you feel you are in a battle to keep your

:18:03. > :18:09.seat as there are a lot of young guys out there? I think it is part

:18:09. > :18:13.of the team to give the opportunity to young drivers. It is also good

:18:13. > :18:19.for us because you have a good comparison pointed you know what

:18:19. > :18:27.you were doing. We concentrate as much as possible on the remaining

:18:27. > :18:32.races before thinking about next year. Perhaps pressure on all the

:18:32. > :18:38.drivers. As we walked out of the garage, David looked up to the sky

:18:38. > :18:43.and it is a bit over cast. I spoke with one of the senior engineers

:18:43. > :18:48.with McLaren and he is watching the local radar or very closely. The

:18:49. > :18:54.word we have is no rain for the next 30 minutes at least. Would you

:18:54. > :18:57.like to be a young driver in Formula One at the moment.

:18:57. > :19:04.Reportedly 20 drivers lining themselves up for Williams next

:19:04. > :19:10.year. It is cut-throat. It is. There are always three times as

:19:10. > :19:18.many drivers as there are cars and the cream rises to the top.

:19:18. > :19:23.Certainly Vitaly Petrov has risen to the top this year. This is on

:19:23. > :19:29.lap 40 of this race last year. He stepped on the kerb and lost the

:19:29. > :19:39.back end of the car. And all too familiar story for him, but how is

:19:39. > :19:41.

:19:41. > :19:50.he feeling 12 months later? What is the plan for the start Galicia? --

:19:50. > :19:57.this year? You never know. It will be difficult to win some places but

:19:57. > :20:03.it looks like everything is ready. We have a good idea of what we will

:20:03. > :20:09.do and we hope we can pass some people. Would you have to make an

:20:09. > :20:15.early pit stop because your players have already done six laps?

:20:15. > :20:21.cannot tell you! But we have some idea what to do. But it important

:20:21. > :20:27.day, important to get some points for Renault. Definitely, this is my

:20:27. > :20:34.target. My target first is to finish in front of Force India and

:20:34. > :20:39.then maybe to have a fight with Rosberg. Strong qualifying from him

:20:39. > :20:45.yesterday. This is the car belonging to Fernando Alonso which

:20:45. > :20:49.starts in front of Petrov on the grid today. The message and the

:20:49. > :20:54.beginning of the season from Ferrari this season was we are

:20:54. > :21:04.going to win the title but the bare facts are that they have won 1

:21:04. > :21:07.

:21:07. > :21:12.Grand Prix. Winning a Formula One Grand Prix is a very special

:21:12. > :21:22.feeling but winning at Silverstone, with the history and tradition in

:21:22. > :21:24.

:21:24. > :21:28.the UK, is the best, and it was a fantastic feeling. It was a slow

:21:28. > :21:32.start in 2010 and the slow start this year. You have picked up in

:21:32. > :21:37.the second half of the season but hitting the ground running in March

:21:37. > :21:43.is important. Yes, it is important. This year it was a different

:21:43. > :21:49.problem to. Everybody knows that we had a correlation problem between

:21:49. > :21:54.the wind tunnel and the tracks. So we were putting new pieces in the

:21:54. > :22:00.car from April and till February. In the winter they were working OK

:22:00. > :22:07.but on the track they were negative. So the car in April was slower than

:22:07. > :22:11.the February car. We understood that too late. When you talk to the

:22:12. > :22:17.team about 2012, what is your message? We need to be more

:22:17. > :22:24.creative with the car, and not always follow old ideas or other's

:22:24. > :22:30.ideas, we need to have our own ideas and Our Own direction and

:22:30. > :22:35.philosophy of developing the car. And everyone is focused and the

:22:35. > :22:39.determination in the team is to come back with a winning period. I

:22:39. > :22:47.think next year, hopefully in March, already from the first year, we

:22:47. > :22:51.start with a different package. Last year you were full of

:22:51. > :22:55.confidence for winning the title but the Red Bull took it and are

:22:55. > :23:00.defending -- and have defended it this year. What has the other

:23:00. > :23:05.Gary's done that you have not managed? I think they have

:23:05. > :23:11.developed the car, they have new ideas and we were perhaps not so

:23:11. > :23:21.aggressive with that. We were perhaps too conservative in some of

:23:21. > :23:26.the ideas of the new car and we were behind. SoTwo or three months

:23:26. > :23:31.behind. It is something that we have learnt in the last two years

:23:31. > :23:36.and for next year we know the direction to go. And your concern

:23:36. > :23:41.is that even there the updates that the team are bringing to knock seem

:23:41. > :23:50.to be bringing you the performance? There have been very few updates in

:23:50. > :23:57.the last few races. A new wing was perhaps the only one. We knew that

:23:57. > :24:01.it was not going to be immediately quicker but it is just an idea, a

:24:01. > :24:05.different philosophy of developing the car which is more towards the

:24:05. > :24:11.2012 car so we are quite relaxed about the performance of the car

:24:11. > :24:16.now. We know we will struggle in the remaining races but we need to

:24:16. > :24:26.be cool about that and think of the future. His Ferrari all you were

:24:26. > :24:27.

:24:27. > :24:31.dreamt it would be? -- is Ferrari all you dreamt it would be? Yes.

:24:31. > :24:41.With two years experience I have to say it is even better than I

:24:41. > :24:41.

:24:41. > :24:46.thought. From the first mechanic to the last engine there is pride in

:24:46. > :24:51.everything they do. There are expectations win the race for

:24:51. > :24:59.Ferrari. The championship is the altar but goal and we want to fight

:24:59. > :25:07.for that texture. -- ultimate goal. For those Ferrari fans watching

:25:07. > :25:14.back home, what is your message for them? Next year, we will start from

:25:14. > :25:18.zero. No one at Ferrari is thinking now that we cannot achieve that.

:25:18. > :25:25.There are a lot of expectations but it is a nice challenge that we want

:25:25. > :25:30.to deliver next year. I am very optimistic. I imagine that when

:25:30. > :25:36.Fernando wants to he can apply quite a bit of pressure to the

:25:36. > :25:41.management of Ferrari. Yes, it is part of his personality. He is

:25:41. > :25:45.still one of the bench marks in Formula One in terms of drivers and

:25:45. > :25:50.he knows what it takes to win. He will be firm with the managers and

:25:50. > :25:53.the engineers in telling them what you need from the car. There is

:25:53. > :26:00.another message for Ferrari fans and journey have to look at the

:26:00. > :26:08.floor of the pit lane to see that message. Those trips that we can

:26:08. > :26:12.see the King the garage is a material that is used to help back

:26:12. > :26:17.up aerodynamic information that you get. They have been painting that

:26:17. > :26:23.on the new wing that Fernando has been using, sending it out on the

:26:23. > :26:29.track, and then looking up the lines that tart left by the air as

:26:29. > :26:32.it passes over the wing. This correlation issue that they are

:26:33. > :26:38.discussing, where they take things from the wind tunnel and bring it

:26:38. > :26:43.to the track and it does not deliver, using this old fashioned

:26:43. > :26:53.technique they will be trying to see what is going on in real time.

:26:53. > :26:58.Imagine you are Fernando Alonso, you are sitting in the team, and

:26:58. > :27:03.you know that the developments have not been working. It is October,

:27:03. > :27:10.you had a slow start to the year, Red Bull are running away with it,

:27:11. > :27:16.how worried would you be? Be honest, that was such a long question that

:27:16. > :27:21.you've lost me! I was still trying to imagine being Fernando Alonso!

:27:21. > :27:26.He will be disappointed with the development of this car. But he is

:27:26. > :27:33.not alone in this. This is not just about the driver, it is this huge

:27:33. > :27:36.team of people. Arguably, you have most of Italy behind you. There is

:27:36. > :27:42.a report in the newspapers every day about the performance of

:27:42. > :27:50.Ferrari. He is old enough and wise enough to know that this is a long-

:27:50. > :27:55.term process. They are going through the rebuilding process.

:27:55. > :28:05.are going to get down to the end where Pirelli Spa based and talk

:28:05. > :28:08.

:28:08. > :28:12.about tyres. Di Resta Fred starts in the top 10 for this race and

:28:12. > :28:19.when you have not got a drive for next season strong qualifying and a

:28:19. > :28:24.strong race is important. In ninth place start for you today, I

:28:24. > :28:31.suppose you're only looking to go for it but it is a tricky first

:28:31. > :28:37.corner and first lap here. It is with the two long straights. Last

:28:37. > :28:42.year it was a safety car starting wet conditions. It will be the

:28:42. > :28:47.tactics of when to use the KERS and when to defend. Hopefully we can

:28:48. > :28:54.get away and, from there on, it is a better name with tyre strategy

:28:54. > :29:00.there. It is another new circuit for you. As a rookie, how do you

:29:00. > :29:04.approach this? I have been in the simulator. You watch the replay of

:29:04. > :29:10.previous years but at the same time you're looking for the new trick of

:29:10. > :29:14.the trade. Poky you can benefit from that. Yesterday you said you

:29:14. > :29:21.were happy that Sauber was behind you and I presume that is in

:29:21. > :29:27.relation to the contractor has championship. -- Constructors'

:29:27. > :29:32.Championship. How a bigger thing is that for the drivers? It is a big

:29:32. > :29:37.thing. Last year we were behind by one point and it makes a big

:29:37. > :29:46.difference. There are four races to go with a lot of points to get and

:29:46. > :29:52.it could go one way or another. That was a few minutes ago as Paul

:29:52. > :30:01.was making his way to the drivers' parade. Now we can show you what is

:30:01. > :30:11.happening in his car. The pit lane has just opened and the cars are

:30:11. > :30:19.

:30:19. > :30:23.di Resta if he can do what Sebastian Vettel has done? A couple

:30:23. > :30:30.of years ago he was beating Sebastian Vettel, now he is the

:30:30. > :30:34.world champion. This is his season in his own words.

:30:35. > :30:41.The new world champion, Sebastian Vettel. I think this season has

:30:41. > :30:47.been great for us. We had a lot of good races. Even those races when

:30:47. > :30:52.it wasn't looking too good for us, we sometimes won them all got a lot

:30:52. > :30:57.of points out of it and finished on the podium. Pole position, that it

:30:57. > :31:07.was some kind of dominant performance by the young German,

:31:07. > :31:09.

:31:09. > :31:14.the reigning world champion. always had the pace. But it was

:31:14. > :31:24.never easy and unlike five years ago, 10 years ago, pole position

:31:24. > :31:26.

:31:27. > :31:31.did not guarantee you winning. Bravery at 200 miles an hour.

:31:31. > :31:38.Nobody would yield and Sebastian Vettel came out the winner.

:31:38. > :31:44.Sebastian Vettel is the master of Monaco. To win in Monaco has always

:31:44. > :31:49.been a dream and to fulfil that dream is exceptional. By achieving

:31:49. > :31:54.something many people, including ourselves, fought on Saturday that

:31:54. > :31:58.we wouldn't win this race, especially on these tyres. But it

:31:58. > :32:04.worked. The leader of the Championship did not a buckle under

:32:04. > :32:08.pressure. Winning in Barcelona was special. We know that trapped

:32:08. > :32:14.inside out. But I have a lot of pressure from Lewis Hamilton from

:32:14. > :32:22.behind. It was a lot of work. There have been a lot of highlight, but

:32:22. > :32:31.every single one, especially -- may be except Germany, has been special.

:32:31. > :32:36.It was too complicated. It wasn't very complicated at all, very

:32:36. > :32:42.uncomplicated for him. We have some very important looking Korean

:32:42. > :32:47.people arriving, no doubt going on the grid and enjoying Formula One.

:32:47. > :32:52.We cannot a kebab Sebastian Vettel, we cannot talk about Lewis

:32:52. > :33:00.Hamilton's race without discussing tyres. We have soft tyres and the

:33:00. > :33:04.super soft. Explain why some scenes described these as aggressive,

:33:04. > :33:08.marginal or mad to bring them to this Grand Prix? You wouldn't tell

:33:08. > :33:15.when they are sitting here because they look the same, apart from the

:33:15. > :33:18.colour on the outside. But the compound on this super sub tier, is

:33:18. > :33:22.thought to be marginal for this track, it is a very abrasive track.

:33:22. > :33:28.All the time you are putting high- speed energy into the tyre it is

:33:28. > :33:33.trying to rip the service from the construction. The closer you get to

:33:33. > :33:37.the point of actually blistering the tyre then that is the point at

:33:37. > :33:42.which it starts to lose serious amounts of rubber. You lose contact

:33:42. > :33:47.then you are down to the canvas and you lose grip. It will be

:33:47. > :33:52.fascinating for David and Martin to keep a cross strategy. We saw Red

:33:52. > :33:57.Bull going out in Q1 and using the super soft tyres which had Ted

:33:57. > :34:02.Kravitz getting confused. Then using them later on. What is

:34:02. > :34:05.interesting is, Red Bull have used super soft and catch their soft

:34:05. > :34:11.tyres safe and warm and looking lovely like this. Michael

:34:11. > :34:16.Schumacher at Mercedes has used the soft side -- Soc tyres and saying

:34:16. > :34:21.he has loads of the super sub tyres for the race. Two teams, and their

:34:21. > :34:27.ideas are at odds with each other, why is that? Every car is different

:34:27. > :34:32.and the way it uses tyres is different. You get into the balance

:34:32. > :34:37.of the individual cars. Visits using more of the front axle or

:34:37. > :34:42.more of the rear axle? In this track there is a smaller spread in

:34:42. > :34:49.overall performance. If you put these tyres on your car, you would

:34:49. > :34:54.go faster on the super soft. That is half the distance we saw in

:34:54. > :35:03.Japan. When you get into a used tyre situation, it is about half

:35:03. > :35:07.that. Red Bull feels it is better to have three sets of these are

:35:07. > :35:12.available for the Grand Prix, hoping it will be more consistent

:35:12. > :35:20.and get 20 laps out of the tyre. But any one of these, they think

:35:20. > :35:24.may be only 12-15 laps. It is very early in the morning for this tier

:35:24. > :35:32.confusion. Red Bull have said this is the one to be on to win his race.

:35:32. > :35:40.How important is the super sub tier to look after its the the first

:35:40. > :35:47.dewlaps? We have seen a lot of tier management this year. For the first

:35:47. > :35:51.seven guys in the grip they will be going off the track on this tier.

:35:51. > :35:58.If we think it can only last seven to ten laps, we will see people

:35:58. > :36:03.pitting before at Ten. You'll have 160 kilos of fuel on board, more

:36:03. > :36:07.weight and energy going into the car. The saving grace is the lap

:36:07. > :36:12.times are slower than you see in qualifying. So the driver has to

:36:13. > :36:17.manage that, make decisions how to use the tyres and he who dares wins.

:36:18. > :36:22.If you thought it was simple, it clearly isn't. Just to throw

:36:22. > :36:26.another spanner in the works, just as the drivers have their

:36:26. > :36:30.strategies would be sorted, it is overcast and we are hearing there

:36:30. > :36:36.may be a chance of rain. That is where these babies come into play,

:36:36. > :36:40.the intermediate. Essential to work out it went to use them? Unlike

:36:40. > :36:47.many other Grand Prix weekends, the teams have had the benefit of

:36:47. > :36:50.running in wet conditions on Friday. They have all been with the

:36:50. > :37:00.intermediate, which has the blue stripe. They know exactly what

:37:00. > :37:03.

:37:03. > :37:09.tyres to use. If it rains, there will be chaos. A spot of rain

:37:09. > :37:15.landed on my finger as you were talking. I think it is time for you

:37:15. > :37:20.to go to the commentary box and made to find somewhere dry. And we

:37:20. > :37:25.go to Martin Brundle on the grid. Congratulations for getting up

:37:25. > :37:30.early. If you are recording, a welcome anyway. Of Formula One car

:37:30. > :37:34.has never started a race on his grid, last year a race started

:37:34. > :37:41.behind the safety car. They were not allowed to do any practice.

:37:41. > :37:44.There was no tyre rubber in front of the grid at all. They left

:37:44. > :37:48.Tyneside is dirty because all the cars run down the right-hand side

:37:48. > :37:53.due to the way they exit the final corner. They need to be on the

:37:54. > :37:59.right for the final corner which is only 120 metres. It is the third

:37:59. > :38:03.shortest run of the year to the first corner. Those on the side of

:38:03. > :38:09.the track will struggle to get away. You won't be going on the grass and

:38:09. > :38:14.using that, it is pretty soft. And there is a strong wind coming from

:38:14. > :38:18.behind. You can see with the flags at the top of the grandstand. A

:38:18. > :38:22.tail wind into the first term which means they will have to break

:38:22. > :38:28.earlier. But, there is a pretty big headwind component down the back

:38:28. > :38:32.straight. Sebastian Vettel said if you saw qualifying yesterday, he

:38:32. > :38:42.did not want to be in the lead going down there, it would be

:38:42. > :38:42.

:38:42. > :38:52.better to be in second place and pick up the slipstream. Just a

:38:52. > :39:02.quick word. It is drizzling but the radar looks pretty good. We will

:39:02. > :39:05.

:39:05. > :39:09.see. We are going to go forward. Will be on the ragged edge today

:39:09. > :39:15.bus-stop strategy will pay a key role. The first pit stop, how long

:39:15. > :39:19.you can go and not come out into too much traffic. A long race as

:39:19. > :39:24.well, looking forward to it will stop telling the viewers about the

:39:24. > :39:30.head wind you will have. You can Dobkin like you're on a cycle and

:39:30. > :39:35.get towed down there? If Lewis Hamilton is leading after the first

:39:35. > :39:41.turn, whoever is leading after the first Turner will have someone down

:39:41. > :39:46.the back straight. Have a good one. Felipe Massa is not on the grid. It

:39:46. > :39:50.is a long run and they have gone through the pits at least once. You

:39:50. > :39:56.can smell rain in the air. Let's see if we can have a quick word

:39:56. > :40:02.with Rob. We are alive at the moment. Felipe Massa is not on the

:40:03. > :40:09.grid, what is going on? He is coming now. I am not complaining

:40:09. > :40:15.I'm just asking! He has been down, has done two starts as normal. The

:40:15. > :40:19.Nano is not here either. We were just checking the car was OK.

:40:19. > :40:26.weren't you are allowed to do practise starts on the grid

:40:26. > :40:33.yesterday? No idea, I am not the right person to ask for star you'll

:40:33. > :40:37.start will be critical today. That is what we need to do, we need to

:40:37. > :40:46.beg the clutch in, make sure the drivers are doing the right

:40:46. > :40:49.procedure. Normal procedure, all OK. Believe they Masson has a qualified

:40:49. > :40:55.Fernando Alonso four out of the last six races, you must be

:40:55. > :40:59.satisfied with that? Your team mate is your best reference for star We

:40:59. > :41:04.have a great reference with Fernando. He is getting back on

:41:04. > :41:13.form. He knocked back to where he should be but he is getting there.

:41:13. > :41:18.We saw him having to yield to Fernando last Sunday in Japan?

:41:18. > :41:28.Fernando past him fair and square but he needs to improve apart. We

:41:28. > :41:33.

:41:33. > :41:43.are getting there. Let's get out of the way. Fernando Alonso's car. He

:41:43. > :41:44.

:41:44. > :41:52.is talking to Spanish TV stations. Nico Rosberg is not on the grid.

:41:52. > :41:57.Final preparations setting temperatures and pressures. Going

:41:57. > :42:07.dried ice so the car does not gather too much heeds sitting on

:42:07. > :42:07.

:42:07. > :42:16.the grid. -- heat. That is the second time this season Rosberg has

:42:17. > :42:22.qualified 7th. Petrov has been moaning on twitter about his name.

:42:22. > :42:28.We talk to him earlier on in the programme as well. I would really

:42:28. > :42:35.like to talk to Paul di Resta. I can see his crash helmet. This is

:42:35. > :42:43.Bruno Senna, 28 yesterday. Bruno, any news for us? What is your team

:42:43. > :42:47.telling you? They might be some rain, very light drizzle. Maybe a

:42:47. > :42:54.bit of surprise for us in terms of what will happen, but let's hope it

:42:54. > :42:58.stays dry. Good luck, I don't want to go into the pit lane. We will go

:42:58. > :43:03.back this way to see if we can find somebody else. The Championship is

:43:03. > :43:13.over at the front, there is a lot of people wanting to finish the

:43:13. > :43:14.

:43:15. > :43:20.year off in style. But we talked a lot to the likes of... Michael, any

:43:20. > :43:30.chance of a word? I don't know why I asked that! Adrian Sutil is over

:43:30. > :43:31.

:43:31. > :43:35.there. Leads by a bit of time here. Last-minute preparations, any

:43:35. > :43:40.dramas on the grid? Everything is going to plan. People are worried

:43:40. > :43:48.about the weather but we will take it as it comes. Plenty of tyres in

:43:48. > :43:55.the pit lane of all sorts I would imagine? All looks remarkably calm,

:43:55. > :43:59.is it all sorted? Ready to go for star we might get a quick chat with

:43:59. > :44:09.Adrian Sutil. What can you tell us about the track conditions and the

:44:09. > :44:13.car? Track conditions always a bit testing to start off. Then we

:44:13. > :44:18.should have a decent place. The weather looks difficult at the

:44:18. > :44:23.moment. I hope there is no rain, like last year so hopefully it will

:44:23. > :44:28.be dry. We will seek a stock of the weather forecast says it is going

:44:28. > :44:32.to be dry, so we will hope for that. You can choose whatever tyres to

:44:32. > :44:37.like to start the race, so it is quite an advantage to get into the

:44:37. > :44:45.top 10 and then have a free tyre choice? I decided to stay in the

:44:45. > :44:50.pits yesterday not run in Q2 -- Q3. I have new tyres all the way

:44:50. > :44:57.through. It is a good advantage. That is Michael Schumacher's car,

:44:57. > :45:06.we know he is not on the grid. Ross Brawn, weather forecast that the

:45:06. > :45:13.Mercedes? Drizzle coming over. Let's see if we can have a quick

:45:13. > :45:17.word finally. I have got to go that way to the commentary box. What can

:45:17. > :45:27.you tell us, you going for one of your long runs again this afternoon

:45:27. > :45:38.

:45:38. > :45:46.some points. It could be pretty crazy in the slipstream and out of

:45:46. > :45:51.that headwind on the back straight. The DRS position is quite late and

:45:51. > :46:01.it is quite sure to overtake so we will see what we can do. Thanks

:46:01. > :46:09.

:46:09. > :46:13.occasions has sat on that grit himself, Karun Chandhok. We have

:46:13. > :46:20.heard a few different weather reports there. What are lighters

:46:20. > :46:25.been told? Before pastel sofas as Bruno's said to Martin, one out of

:46:25. > :46:30.five and not much chance of rain. But I have the wrong strategy with

:46:30. > :46:35.T-shirt and shorts because I am freezing! It is quite a high cloud.

:46:35. > :46:39.It is not like the big black clouds that we had on Friday when it did

:46:39. > :46:48.chuck it down. I think they could be right it could just be a light

:46:48. > :46:55.drizzle. We have seen hope slippery and low grip this circuit is. Even

:46:56. > :47:00.that little bit of drizzle can take the top edge of the circuit.

:47:00. > :47:04.man who tends to get his strategy spot on his Jenson Button and he is

:47:04. > :47:10.quickly McKenzie. You start third today but we have never had a

:47:10. > :47:17.standing start that this racetracks it is a bit of an unknown. It is.

:47:17. > :47:21.We had a pretty wet Friday and most of Saturday was on loan fuel so it

:47:21. > :47:26.will be a bit of an experience of the unknown for all of us. Okay we

:47:26. > :47:31.will put on a good show. I am not really sure what the weather is

:47:31. > :47:41.doing either. We do rather it was raining or cry? I would rather it

:47:41. > :47:45.

:47:45. > :47:51.was dry, to be fair. When you have a good car, you wanted to be dry.

:47:51. > :47:56.He is starting alongside Sebastian Vettel and you know what happened

:47:56. > :48:01.between those two. If we're talking about slight the changeable weather

:48:01. > :48:06.conditions, he is the man to put your money on in a race like this.

:48:06. > :48:13.He has been very good. We have seen on a number of occasions in the

:48:13. > :48:19.past. I think we have the two most aggressive starters ahead of him on

:48:19. > :48:23.the grid, apart from Fernando Alonso. Fernando looks quite

:48:23. > :48:29.determined. He has walked down to the front of the grid and is

:48:29. > :48:34.looking 10 at the first corner. What will he be thinking there?

:48:34. > :48:39.Just trying to see where is the best place to put the car, inside

:48:39. > :48:44.or outside. You cannot be and what other people are going to do but I

:48:44. > :48:49.would always, before the start, plan in my head that I would

:48:49. > :48:54.ideally want to be inside or outside. Some circuits you want to

:48:54. > :49:01.be on the outside and may be used the outside tarmac. It is good that

:49:01. > :49:06.the plan in place. Red Bull were delighted with second on the grid.

:49:06. > :49:11.He is on what is called the dirty side and there could have an effect.

:49:11. > :49:16.Would he struggled to stay in front of Jenson Button at the start?

:49:16. > :49:20.think it is low grip everywhere. I cycled around the track last night

:49:20. > :49:25.and they were sweeping up all the rubber there was off-line as well,

:49:25. > :49:32.for some reason. It is not really dirty off-line because they were

:49:32. > :49:36.sweeping it up. Seeing Timo Glock is a good reason to talk about

:49:37. > :49:42.Lotus. You are in front of Virgin, Kenny race teams like Williams

:49:42. > :49:46.today? I think under normal circumstances, probably not, but we

:49:46. > :49:52.have seen when you have strange races with the weather and such

:49:52. > :49:57.like anything is possible. The aim for today for Lewis Hamilton is to

:49:57. > :50:00.beat the rest of the grit to the chequered flag. The aim of all

:50:00. > :50:10.season for everyone has been to beat Red Bull in qualifying and

:50:10. > :50:17.yesterday, finally, it happened. The car on pole macro position is

:50:17. > :50:27.in silver. The relatively short pit straight with heavy braking four-

:50:27. > :50:29.

:50:29. > :50:34.term one. The 1100 metre straight on the way down to turn 3. Just

:50:34. > :50:40.under 200 mph, bringing the car to the left-hand side for the breaking

:50:40. > :50:47.point. An easy one to get wrong. Building up to another hundred and

:50:47. > :50:51.85 mph straight on our way down to turn four. Past the support bits

:50:51. > :50:57.and again bringing the car to the right-hand side. Down to first deer

:50:57. > :51:07.again, to keep the revs up and create more grip through the slower

:51:07. > :51:10.

:51:10. > :51:17.corners -- first gear. Over 170 mph and still not lifting three turn 8.

:51:17. > :51:27.A fast part of the racetrack. Now he has to slow to just 65 mph for

:51:27. > :51:30.

:51:30. > :51:38.turn 10. 11 is a long left-hander. Turn 12 is just 90 mph on the a PX

:51:38. > :51:48.but 144 turn 13. 15 and 16 are effectively won it long sweeping

:51:48. > :51:52.left-hander. You are flat out to the finish line. At turn 17 he

:51:52. > :52:02.opens the DRS. His first pole position of the year and that

:52:02. > :52:03.

:52:03. > :52:08.pleased the team. No smile from Lewis Hamilton but plenty of smiles

:52:08. > :52:13.from the team. To stay at the front he will have to defend from cars

:52:13. > :52:20.behind him using ers down the back straight and also you can hide from

:53:13. > :53:17.focused. This race was very disappointing for him last year so

:53:17. > :53:25.he is really up for it and hope you can make it a really good race with

:53:25. > :53:31.the McLaren's. Karun Chandhok, who is going to win this one? Lewis

:53:31. > :53:38.Hamilton. I'm glad you said that, because it is Lewis that starts on

:53:38. > :53:46.pole. Time to hand over to David Coulthard and Martin Brundle. And

:53:46. > :53:52.how great it feels to say that it is in Lewis Hamilton on pole. Let

:53:52. > :54:01.us hope today that we are simply talking about the talent. It is

:54:01. > :54:04.time for the 2011 Korean Grand Prix. It is about driving, it is about

:54:04. > :54:14.way wind in your head, it is about a combination of things and I have

:54:14. > :54:20.just not been doing the job. Hungry I was in first a nice bunch and

:54:20. > :54:26.could have won the race. I will try to redeem myself. Anybody who

:54:26. > :54:31.thinks I cannot do it any more had better step right back. He is

:54:31. > :54:41.looking alive, we have not seen that for a while! He looked like

:54:41. > :54:56.

:54:56. > :55:06.were Hamilton of old. -- the the formula! He has sent a message

:55:34. > :55:39.It is a region known for shipping and fishing and, of course, now

:55:39. > :55:44.Formula One. This second Grand Prix to be held here should be

:55:44. > :55:50.fascinating and unpredictable, especially if that rain comes in.

:55:50. > :55:54.They had carried little knowledge of this 18 turn, 3.5 mile layout

:55:54. > :55:59.because of limited running on Friday with a very wet track and

:55:59. > :56:05.many questions remained unanswered as we are just four minutes away

:56:05. > :56:12.from the warm-up and formation lap and the start of this Grand Prix.

:56:12. > :56:16.Red Bull had majored on the soft tyre. Other teams have saved the

:56:16. > :56:21.faster but less durable super soft compound. Do you think they have

:56:21. > :56:27.got it right, David? There's a lot of speculation on just how far

:56:27. > :56:32.these tyres can go. We have heard that less than ten laps for the

:56:33. > :56:37.option, the softer of the tyres. We here around 15 to 20 laps on the

:56:37. > :56:42.prime. The reality is they have had so little running on this track

:56:42. > :56:47.with the wet Friday, and you wanna to evaluate the tyres and set the

:56:48. > :56:51.car for qualifying, the teams simply do not know. It is a journey

:56:51. > :56:55.into the unknown because it is the first year back into Formula One

:56:56. > :56:58.for Pirelli. Once they have the benefit of the season under the

:56:58. > :57:03.belt there will be so many unanswered questions that they will

:57:03. > :57:12.be up to deal with and put into the strategy. No one knows today who

:57:12. > :57:16.has got the best strategy on pyres. Around three, they might be a small

:57:16. > :57:26.shower. From what we can tell it is only a couple of minutes and then

:57:26. > :57:27.

:57:27. > :57:32.nothing after that. 3pm is the start time of the race, locally.

:57:32. > :57:36.Some of the teams have gone in a different direction. Why it

:57:36. > :57:41.wouldn't McLaren and Red Bull split their strategies and put one driver

:57:41. > :57:46.on super soft and one on soft compound and have an each-way bet?

:57:46. > :57:48.Because that compromises the drivers going into qualifying.

:57:49. > :57:54.There is seven-tenths of a difference between the option and

:57:54. > :57:57.prime tyres in qualifying. I again to say to Jenson Button that you

:57:57. > :58:01.what could be penalised in qualifying, or go to Lewis Hamilton

:58:01. > :58:08.and offer him the slower tyre? You have to give the guys the best

:58:08. > :58:12.chance of qualifying the car and then deal with the race. Sebastian

:58:12. > :58:22.Vettel, second on the grid, and yet another helmet design for this

:58:22. > :58:30.

:58:30. > :58:40.track. Let us have a look at how they line up. Hamilton on pole.

:59:41. > :59:45.excused from that. Petrov, surprisingly, said his time on a

:59:45. > :59:53.tired that he also used in future to. So he will be the reference

:59:53. > :00:03.point for how long that all great marked a super soft tyre can last.

:00:03. > :00:12.We get ready for the formation lap. So we have super soft for di Resta

:00:12. > :00:17.and sold for Sutil. -- soft. makes sense because one of them is

:00:17. > :00:27.going to be on the right strategy. It is all about managing these

:00:27. > :00:33.

:00:33. > :00:42.they go off the line. From what you are saying, Force India will say on

:00:42. > :00:46.the you'll not get away with that with Hamilton, Button Vettel and

:00:46. > :00:55.Mark Webber? He has, they have three drivers under contract at the

:01:05. > :01:10.qualifying. Has gained 24 positions in the last seven starts. At no

:01:10. > :01:17.point in those seven starts, has he lost a position. Michael Schumacher

:01:17. > :01:21.is the man on the move at the start of a Grand Prix. It is interesting.

:01:21. > :01:26.When he used to do physical assessments in places you could

:01:26. > :01:30.compare with other drivers, his reactions were never that good. But

:01:30. > :01:40.his instinctive racing ability to the first corner has saw him make a

:02:10. > :02:15.lot of games. Or maybe he is not We saw on the yellow marked soft

:02:15. > :02:21.tyre, they have to do a couple of laps to get them to come in, to

:02:29. > :02:35.RADIO: temperatures are good, possibly at you drips at Cern 13.

:03:02. > :03:09.his tyres long before he got to the grid. The long-standing mechanic

:03:09. > :03:17.for the Ferrari team has sadly died. As squalid. Ferrari have black take

:03:28. > :03:35.Can the next 55 laps but the engaging smile back on Lewis

:03:35. > :03:41.Hamilton's face? We are about to find out, as soon as we get the HRT

:03:41. > :03:46.in line at the back of the field. We will see a man with a green flag

:03:46. > :03:51.he will tell Charlie Whiting. The lights are coming on and the Korean

:03:51. > :03:57.Grand Prix is now under way. Hamilton away, Jenson Button away

:03:57. > :04:06.well behind him. It is left hand into the first corner. Hamilton

:04:06. > :04:16.leads comfortably. At the back we have contact between the Toro Rosso

:04:16. > :04:28.

:04:28. > :04:37.a tremendous braking zone for him. Brave as you like. Alonso is in

:04:37. > :04:43.there, so is Mark Webber and Rosberg. Sebastian Vettel is

:04:43. > :04:53.leading the race will stop Jenson Button getting pushed down the

:04:53. > :04:54.

:04:54. > :05:04.field. We are on board with him now. Somehow Sebastian Vettel found the

:05:04. > :05:09.speed down the straight. A brave start. Most of the teams were

:05:09. > :05:13.similar in qualifying with the DRS Open. As he was saying, punching

:05:13. > :05:23.through the air, getting a huge tower and brave stuff down the

:05:23. > :05:27.

:05:27. > :05:34.inside. Sebastian Vettel, in the slipstream and out of the head wins

:05:34. > :05:44.took advantage. It is a tail wind down its two the 4th term. I would

:05:44. > :06:04.

:06:04. > :06:08.have thought Lewis Hamilton would place. Vettel of course easily

:06:08. > :06:14.pulling out of second in the first lap, including passing Lewis

:06:14. > :06:18.Hamilton. Jenson Button under pressure from Rosberg. It is

:06:18. > :06:23.crucial, he needs to break the one- second window to make sure at the

:06:23. > :06:33.end of the second lap Lewis Hamilton is not in the DRS zones.

:06:33. > :06:35.

:06:35. > :06:39.We have a yellow flag, I'm sure it is because of the spots of rain.

:06:39. > :06:45.What it should be, is a yellow and red flag which indicate fluid on

:06:45. > :06:55.the track. If they are meaning a slippery track, it is the wrong

:06:55. > :06:55.

:06:55. > :07:03.flag. Jenson Button struggling to hang on to the two Ferraris. Petrov

:07:03. > :07:08.is in eighth place. As they string out, the field spreads

:07:08. > :07:15.interestingly at the end of the first lap between the first and 16

:07:15. > :07:21.drivers is 10 seconds. They are close together, closer than some

:07:21. > :07:28.tracks. Vettel, let's have a look. The same sector as Hamilton in the

:07:28. > :07:32.first part of a laugh. It was all nip and tuck of the line. We were

:07:32. > :07:39.expecting the dirty side of the grid to lose a car's length. But no

:07:39. > :07:49.evidence of that. It got messy the further down. I Lotus and one of

:07:49. > :07:53.

:07:53. > :07:59.the Virgin's running wide. This is on board with Felipe Massa. Looks

:07:59. > :08:03.for the outside line on Mark Webber. Get squeezed a little bit, which is

:08:03. > :08:08.fair enough. Then he is in a perfect position to get the

:08:08. > :08:18.slipstream. Rubens Barrichello, further down. Not that big evidence

:08:18. > :08:19.

:08:19. > :08:29.the left side is 34 stop there is no grip anywhere. Best the left

:08:29. > :08:42.

:08:42. > :08:52.outside of the Red Bull. Into third place momentarily. He has gone into

:08:52. > :08:52.

:08:52. > :08:57.deep. Jenson Button was deploying KERS off turn number three. It

:08:57. > :09:04.enables him to get in the slipstream, ball round the outside

:09:04. > :09:12.of the Ferrari. Rosberg followed Jenson Button's line. It was

:09:12. > :09:22.ambitious of Mark Webber. The DRS is enabled. Hamilton is within 1.2

:09:22. > :09:30.

:09:30. > :09:34.seconds of Vettel. Hamilton won't have his rear wing open down the

:09:34. > :09:41.straight. The detection zone is just on the exit of the first

:09:41. > :09:46.corner. Fernando Alonso is on Felipe Massa or stock robs Smedley

:09:46. > :09:52.said he did not have to yield in Suzuka last weekend, but it look

:09:52. > :09:59.like it from a. When I heard Kobayashi said the DRS is late and

:09:59. > :10:05.in his case, not so effective, we have Alonso faster than the Felipe

:10:05. > :10:11.Massa are. That was an oversteer from Burley Massa. You do not want

:10:11. > :10:16.to do that with these tyres. It won't help how far he can go in

:10:16. > :10:21.this stint. You can wear these tyres out and overheat them. They

:10:21. > :10:29.will degrade in terms of wearing out and just in the way you use

:10:29. > :10:39.them. We are picking Mark Webber up in the middle part of a laugh. This

:10:39. > :10:39.

:10:39. > :10:48.is the fourth lap. Vettel is a few tenths quicker in the middle sector.

:10:48. > :10:53.RADIO: light rain ahead. That is not what you need to here.

:10:53. > :11:03.Bailiff in 17 on all tanks of deal. You end up being a reference point.

:11:03. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:42.late on the brakes, he will be in in the pause India. Should be

:11:42. > :11:48.

:11:48. > :11:54.straight following Best rain, it is a difficult job to lead

:11:54. > :11:59.the race. Lewis Hamilton will able to use Sebastian Vettel as a site,

:11:59. > :12:04.as to where to brake. Inevitably you start to break a bit earlier to

:12:04. > :12:14.allow yourself a margin should it get to work. Michael Schumacher has

:12:14. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :12:19.just done a fastest first sector by three-quarters of a second.

:12:19. > :12:25.Kobayashi has gone into the race thinking it won't work. My job on

:12:25. > :12:35.the grid is to ask questions, not tell the drivers how it is going to

:12:35. > :12:35.

:12:35. > :12:42.be. This is critical, where his Lewis Hamilton? He does not look

:12:43. > :12:52.any closer. As they go over the line, it is 1.4, Vettel just

:12:53. > :12:55.

:12:55. > :13:05.pulling away. Basij was on a wider term and Hamilton. Is he having to

:13:05. > :13:15.

:13:15. > :13:20.open the steering? -- Vettel. RADIO: lots of understeer now.

:13:20. > :13:24.the understeer. When we have a briefing with Williams this morning,

:13:24. > :13:33.he said the front right is the critical sire as far as he is

:13:33. > :13:41.concerned. It is a relatively green track, very little warning. Just

:13:41. > :13:48.Saturday running to put some fresh rubber on the track. The three

:13:48. > :13:52.fastest cars were the two Toro Rosso without or with DRS. And

:13:52. > :13:57.Michael Schumacher. And there is no surprise Toro Rosso is making their

:13:57. > :14:03.way through. Ted Kravitz? No panic down here despite drivers

:14:03. > :14:09.losing paces. Lewis Hamilton's fast as lap of the race will back it up.

:14:09. > :14:14.Jenson Button may think was caught out by some rain. I have been

:14:14. > :14:19.keeping on Petrov's tyres. They have done 12 laps on the Super

:14:19. > :14:24.Soccer. They are approaching the end of their life. But no sign of

:14:25. > :14:30.him coming in. Or no sign of his time being particularly poor.

:14:31. > :14:37.tyres lasting better than we were initially told. 24 degrees with

:14:37. > :14:47.this cloud cover. We were expecting it to be 34 at this moment. Petrov

:14:47. > :14:57.

:14:57. > :15:02.36 point eight. Michael Schumacher Just looking down the times there

:15:02. > :15:12.were doing in the last lap. We can see the effect of the understeer on

:15:12. > :15:19.Paul di Resta. He is being attacked by its Alguersuari. Understeer

:15:19. > :15:23.costing a lot at the side -- time of the race. The front tyres

:15:33. > :15:51.

:15:51. > :15:56.on the throttle. It just feels at the moment. I've heard that the

:15:56. > :16:00.McLaren was hurting its tyres as much as anything yesterday. I found

:16:00. > :16:05.that difficult to believe but I heard that Lewis had taken quite a

:16:05. > :16:15.bit out of his tyres in qualification. I wonder if we are

:16:15. > :16:30.

:16:30. > :16:34.beginning to see that now. He lost strategy because blasting you want

:16:34. > :16:42.to do his head for another set of slicks and then find yourself in a

:16:42. > :16:47.few laps having to come in for wets. So they may tell the drivers to go

:16:47. > :16:51.one in lap longer just be on the safe side. They will be watching

:20:41. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :20:59.have the cars in front. What makes him so sure about that? I think

:20:59. > :21:03.Jenson would be saying in the helmet, I guess we can. He is right

:21:03. > :21:07.in the dirty air and will be losing performance from running in the

:21:07. > :21:13.turbulent air. He will have the pitch in his mind of just how well

:21:13. > :21:18.he is managing these tyres. We are getting into what was expected to

:21:50. > :21:58.whatever reason, holding themselves up. Petrov has done a quick lap and

:21:58. > :22:08.we thought his tyres would be gone first. Jenson Button all over the

:25:47. > :25:57.defending the position, no team orders here. As soon as your front

:26:26. > :26:53.

:26:53. > :26:56.why they think they can use the undercut. That means that you pick

:26:56. > :27:04.early and news that freshness and the crypt of the new tyres and when

:27:04. > :27:14.you come out you are ahead of them. Look at that! Rosberg has got ahead

:27:14. > :27:14.

:27:14. > :27:20.of him. Rosberg has the upper hand again hit the Button earlier. He

:27:20. > :27:27.made a mistake! But will not go down well. We need to see a picture

:27:27. > :27:33.of Ross Brawn at that moment! The team got him out that front. But he

:27:33. > :27:40.has got a slipstreamed straight away! And through he goes! When did

:27:40. > :27:45.he find that sort of speed? He has used his KERS, presumably. And, as

:27:45. > :27:51.you pointed out earlier, we had the Mercedes which was one of the

:27:51. > :27:57.fastest cars during qualifying. But he has to be careful not to flat

:27:57. > :28:07.spot these tyres. Mercedes have got the best pit stop record over all,

:28:07. > :28:07.

:28:07. > :28:14.I am told. So Jenson has got onto the option tyre, the road marked

:28:14. > :28:18.super soft. He has got better tyres on with more grip than Rosberg,

:29:59. > :30:22.

:30:22. > :30:30.allow him through. Vettel stays out, Vettel carries on in the late 1:44,

:30:30. > :30:39.and OK pit stop for McLaren. It is a dirty pit lane. 3.8 seconds it

:30:39. > :30:46.was. Alonso is pitting as well. Alguersuari is in second place.

:30:46. > :30:55.This is Fernando Alonso. The Ferrari team get their main man

:30:55. > :30:59.under way. He has gone for the more durable but slower soft tyres. They

:30:59. > :31:07.go twice as far. We see Adrian's subtle under pressure from Jenson

:34:28. > :34:35.were desperate to let him continue if he could, but it is the steering

:34:35. > :34:41.arm broken. We have lost Petrov, the safety car remains on the track.

:35:34. > :35:40.debris on my tyres. The rest have picked their way through between

:39:45. > :39:46.

:39:47. > :39:55.way back to the paddock. To answer your question, the issue is getting

:39:55. > :40:02.the tyres which on a qualifying. think Petrov was looking at this

:40:02. > :40:07.Ferrari. He DAB past it. Huge over speed and he was looking in his

:40:07. > :40:11.mirrors. The Ferrari in nearly creams into the back of another car

:40:11. > :40:16.as well. I think the pair of them thought they were the only two cars

:40:16. > :40:22.on the track. Neither of them could stop. They were so busy watching

:40:22. > :40:30.each other. Michael would have had no chance to see that coming. Even

:40:30. > :40:35.if he had of done, he couldn't have done anything about it. This was

:40:35. > :40:40.shaping up to be a three-star raised. The fact they have managed

:40:40. > :40:48.to get to laugh -- lap 15 on the first set of tyres, we are moving

:40:48. > :40:53.to a two-stop strategy. They will have 20 laps to run to the end.

:40:53. > :40:59.When we first came it was going to be four or five stops. Then three

:40:59. > :41:04.or four, now two. RADIO: They seem to have clear

:41:05. > :41:10.everything so just be ready. I have seen people saying eyesore

:41:11. > :41:15.Basij Dropmore than 10 places behind the safety car. You do that.

:41:15. > :41:20.You have to drop more than 10 places behind him so he can get

:41:38. > :41:44.It is the lead driver's job to slowdown and allow the safety car

:41:50. > :41:56.forgotten to say Vettel had gotten a penalty. He becomes the safety

:41:56. > :42:00.car now. Everyone in the pit lane has been told he is coming in on

:42:00. > :42:06.this lap. You have to judge basically way you think you can

:42:06. > :42:12.start to let it go. In the middle of turn 15 Vettel decided that was

:42:12. > :42:20.the moment. He has gone like a scalded cat with Lewis Hamilton

:42:20. > :42:30.chasing behind. The DRS won't be enabled until two laps after the

:42:30. > :42:48.

:42:48. > :42:52.back of Mark Webber. It is a long run down to the 4th term. It is a

:42:52. > :42:59.decent straight on a regular circuit for stuck and it is the

:42:59. > :43:05.shorter of the two. That will be so close. Jenson Button lucky not to

:43:05. > :43:08.lose the edge of his friends wing. He was looking for some Supreme

:43:08. > :43:16.manners from Mark Webber to go around the outside. But Mark Webber

:43:16. > :43:22.says, I am coming back across before the turn. Not for the first

:43:22. > :43:29.time in this race a bit of bumping going on from Jenson Button. He

:43:29. > :43:36.gets away with it. It is an opportune moment to ask, and

:43:36. > :43:41.steading using the analogy of going off like a scalded cat, can we used

:44:13. > :44:23.which is Maldonado for Williams. He has hit a bollard. We move into lap

:44:23. > :44:25.

:44:25. > :44:32.22. Nestle is 1.1 ahead of Hamilton. He gauges the DRS absolutely right.

:45:04. > :45:17.

:45:17. > :45:24.more pain than normal as we watch Maldonado and Buemi. In the

:45:56. > :46:03.in a race, it is not often that we earlier in the programme with

:46:04. > :46:10.Alonso. I sense a lot of frustration. Two years in and he

:46:10. > :46:18.looks no where near winning a title. That was Maldonado serving his

:46:18. > :46:24.drive-through penalty. The incident between Schumacher and Petrov will

:46:24. > :46:30.be investigated after the race. I suspect Petrov will either get a

:46:30. > :46:34.grip penalty for India or a reprimand. He has caused an

:46:34. > :46:43.avoidable accident. Michael Schumacher, minding his own

:46:43. > :46:46.business, finding the best wind, and was attacked from the rear.

:46:46. > :46:53.There is Alonso coming -- frustration coming out from Alonso,

:48:22. > :48:32.to the front wing which will be affecting his air dynamics. And

:48:32. > :48:38.

:48:38. > :48:48.Senna took the position back, using area part on the car. If the air is

:49:21. > :49:31.lap, at the front wing is damaged. So they obviously think they are in

:49:31. > :49:31.

:49:31. > :49:37.a tyre stop window anyway. Ted is at Ferrari. TED KRAVITZ: They say

:49:37. > :49:41.it is just a case of warming up the tyres. They feel that after the

:49:41. > :49:46.safety car restart the temperature got really low and it has taken

:49:46. > :49:51.them a few laps to get up to speed. They acknowledge that they lost out

:49:51. > :49:59.in the pit lane. Apparently Massa had to wait for Michael Schumacher

:49:59. > :50:04.to come in. I think they might hold on to some hope that the guys on

:50:04. > :50:14.the super soft ahead of them make only -- may have to three stop

:50:14. > :50:29.

:50:29. > :50:36.prime tyres. This has to be one of the best races for Ross burka

:50:36. > :50:46.Mercedes for the season so far. Last year, he got caught up in the

:50:46. > :50:46.

:50:46. > :50:52.accident but he was flying. Nice to see him going as he used to, in the

:50:52. > :51:01.good old days. I know he is only 26 years old, but Nico Rosberg used to

:51:01. > :51:11.always move forward in a race. The top four are about one second

:51:11. > :51:27.

:51:27. > :51:37.faster than this scrap that we are running at little bit more drag on

:51:37. > :51:49.

:51:49. > :51:59.that car because he is not able to of pressure with questions about

:51:59. > :52:02.

:52:02. > :52:12.his performance Ng could see -- and you could see how pleased he was

:52:12. > :52:12.

:52:12. > :53:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

:53:02. > :53:12.after qualification when he tyre and Vettel and Hamilton on the

:53:12. > :53:27.

:53:27. > :53:35.metres there for Rosberg. The pick lock-up costing him two places.

:53:35. > :53:39.Hamilton is now with in the DRS zone. And he is half a second

:53:39. > :53:49.quicker in the first sector. Hamilton catching Vettel very

:53:49. > :53:49.

:53:49. > :53:55.quickly indeed. Rosberg had a little bit of left turn in and it

:53:55. > :54:00.takes the load off the front left. As he turned slightly left in the

:54:00. > :54:06.braking zone, the front left locked. Guaranteed to happen if you are

:54:06. > :54:14.beyond the limit of grip of your front tyres. Meanwhile, back at the

:54:14. > :54:18.front, there is Mark Webber just behind Hamilton, whom he is 1.2

:54:18. > :54:23.behind Vettel. Where there is on the prime tyres and we have seen

:54:23. > :54:27.that they have gone much further on the option than we expected. If

:54:27. > :54:33.Vettel and Hamilton have to stop on the option and mother became keep

:54:33. > :54:43.the option up -- the pace up, he might be the man back Kent win the

:54:43. > :55:00.

:55:00. > :55:08.race this afternoon. -- the man who have gone on for Rosberg. He should

:55:08. > :55:18.be able to get to the end on those. Just two seconds covering the top

:55:18. > :55:20.

:55:20. > :55:28.three at the moment. Jenson Button has dropped Massa. I think Rosberg

:55:28. > :55:35.will try to get to the end of that set of tyres but that is a long way.

:55:35. > :55:40.I would expect one more stop the peace from these guys at the front.

:55:40. > :55:49.It is a question of whether this option tyre can take them far

:55:49. > :55:59.enough. Mark Webber has caught them up and is running faster on the

:55:59. > :56:31.

:56:31. > :56:36.tyre that should be a slower at against his team mate's nine

:56:36. > :56:43.victories this year. How sweet would that be for him here in South

:56:43. > :56:48.Korea? He must be feeling pretty satisfied at the moment. He can see

:56:48. > :56:54.what tyres the drivers have in front of him and it is working well.

:56:54. > :57:01.It is a clear indication that everybody who pits from here on in

:57:01. > :57:11.it must go on to those tyres. KRAVITZ: The McLaren's have to

:58:33. > :58:41.Tell us what happened. I was suddenly 180 degrees in the wrong

:58:41. > :58:50.direction and saw my wink and the rear wing passed by. But that is

:58:50. > :58:56.racing, it does happen occasionally. I had not seen the story because I

:58:56. > :59:01.was focusing to put forward. This is the first time you have had a

:59:01. > :59:08.coming together with Petrov this season. We have had some great

:59:08. > :59:13.racing this season. We often together because a car pace. We

:59:13. > :59:18.have had a couple of get-togethers and maybe the first one was on my

:59:18. > :59:24.cap and this is on his. Vitaly Petrov, tell us what happened over

:59:24. > :59:30.there. I was trying to defend the position and I was underbraking and

:59:30. > :59:36.died locked and hit Michael. I apologised to Michael, it was not

:59:36. > :59:40.his fault, it was absolutely my fault. Did you not realise how

:59:40. > :59:46.close the Mercedes was going to get? I tried to focus with Fernando

:59:47. > :59:54.Alonso, because I could gain 1 position because he had a bad pit

:59:54. > :00:00.stop or whatever. I was on the dirty side, even he was on the

:00:00. > :00:10.kingside and he missed the corner. So, Petrov confirming that he was

:00:10. > :00:17.

:00:17. > :00:22.busy fighting a Ferrari and got radio correspondents as we

:00:22. > :00:32.listening to Petrov. Talking about his front tyres and he started to

:00:32. > :00:47.

:00:47. > :00:53.slip back to little bit. Hamilton the inside. Realising there is no

:00:53. > :01:03.point trying to resist that one. It was an easy pass. We have another

:01:03. > :01:05.

:01:05. > :01:12.retirement for the Williams garage. Maldonado has pitted. He has

:01:12. > :01:17.already had a drive through today. Mark Webber just behind Lewis

:01:17. > :01:27.Hamilton with the DRS available and the slipstream. Will it do him any

:01:27. > :01:28.

:01:28. > :01:34.good? RADIO: Tried to go forwards, tried

:01:34. > :01:43.to go forwards, you will be damaging career underbraking.

:01:48. > :01:58.energy into the front axle? It is something played with a lot with

:01:58. > :02:03.the KERS. They will be constantly adjusting that during the race

:02:03. > :02:09.depending on how much are the sting you have to do, how much recharging

:02:09. > :02:16.of the KERS you have to do in the braking zones. This is the

:02:16. > :02:22.intriguing battle. Vettel is opening a gap. If Mark Webber

:02:22. > :02:28.cannot get past Lewis Hamilton, maybe he has to pit early, gets a

:02:28. > :02:38.new tyres and beat Lewis that wave. He was looking like he was in a

:14:54. > :15:02.We saw that last week, as safety cab. Jenson Button park the car

:19:33. > :19:38.these to the end. The only option he has is to turn up the engine

:19:38. > :19:44.note in the run out of the last sector and use up some KERS and

:19:44. > :19:49.then use another big beast as he comes out of turn two. And then it

:19:49. > :19:59.is cross yourself and parade because he has used up all his

:19:59. > :19:59.

:19:59. > :20:09.toys! Sitting duck is the phrase that comes to mind! Nice analogy,

:20:09. > :20:26.

:20:27. > :20:33.that one! I would use that one Hamilton that he has done on

:20:33. > :20:36.previous laps. I wonder if Ferrari are letting their guys race freely

:20:36. > :20:42.because there is no championship at stake and it looks like Babel

:20:42. > :20:45.finished third in the Constructors' Championship. Perhaps this is about

:20:45. > :20:55.letting them brace freely and rebuilding a bit of confidence in

:20:55. > :21:02.

:21:02. > :21:07.right now, Red Bull would be securing that. With the first and a

:21:23. > :21:32.performance? He is lead McLaren driver and his managing his tyre as

:21:32. > :21:37.well. He is in good communication with the team. Managing this last

:21:37. > :21:44.sector, he knows and I am sure his confidence is growing by the fact

:21:44. > :21:53.that Mark Webber has not been able to challenge him on that turn down

:21:53. > :22:03.to turn 3. The debris on the way to turn one will not be helping the

:22:03. > :22:05.

:22:05. > :22:11.cars. Hamilton has used up all of his KERS and that has given him the

:22:11. > :22:21.buffer. Even though Mark Webber has DRS to deploy, all it does is bring

:22:21. > :22:24.

:22:24. > :22:28.him back to the same position that he was as they entered turn one.

:22:28. > :22:33.What is surprising with Jenson Button is that he is not closing up

:23:03. > :23:11.

:23:11. > :23:17.have been asking why Lewis Hamilton is slow at the moment. The response

:23:17. > :23:21.is that he is not particularly slow, this is just an hour pace. The

:23:21. > :23:23.chronic understeer is the lack of running on Friday. They would have

:23:23. > :23:29.discovered this if they had done the homework that everybody should

:23:29. > :23:34.have done on Friday but because it was wet they did not manage to do

:23:34. > :23:39.it. There is nothing more they can do. The understeer is not going to

:23:39. > :23:43.solve itself, it is a matter of containment. But if Jenson Button

:23:43. > :23:50.tends to be easier on his tyres and is not suffering the understeer

:23:50. > :23:56.that Lewis Hamilton is. Maybe he can take advantage. All young

:23:56. > :24:06.racing drivers are watching this, this is how Fernando Alonso drives

:24:06. > :24:07.

:24:07. > :24:11.a former law race that makes the difference. His last five laps,

:24:11. > :24:18.half a second faster than the leaders, and relentless consistency,

:24:18. > :24:21.is starting to bring him into the play. Now just three seconds from

:24:21. > :24:26.the back of Jenson Button and I think he is going to apply quite a

:24:26. > :24:32.bit of pressure on this pack when he arrives. This is fantastic stuff.

:24:32. > :24:42.The Ferrari has a little bit better top speed than the Red Bull. He is

:24:42. > :24:45.soon going to be in the DRS zone. Let us just say he is a bit peeved

:24:45. > :24:55.from earlier in the race and there is a little bit of Spanish

:24:55. > :25:29.

:25:29. > :25:39.to Fernando Alonso. Fernando Alonso has dropped Massa by 5.6 seconds

:25:39. > :25:48.

:25:48. > :25:58.the records and the statistics. -- delights to chase. Perhaps there

:25:58. > :25:58.

:25:58. > :26:04.has been a message about the fastest lap from Fernando Alonso.

:26:04. > :26:07.happen to note that Vettel caught in a wanted to go for fastest lap

:26:07. > :26:12.last weekend when they were going for the championship and they told

:26:12. > :26:19.him to forget it and just bring the car in and win the race anger the

:26:19. > :26:25.championship. You have to wonder if Fernando Alonso has punished those

:26:25. > :26:30.tyres just a little bit too hard. He has dropped another three-tenths

:26:30. > :26:36.de Jenson Button in that sector. It does look like those super fast

:26:36. > :26:46.laps may have taken too much out of the tyres. RADIO: Do not owe the

:26:46. > :26:53.usual tyres, there are some quick cars behind you. That is the

:26:53. > :27:03.headmaster! Your leading the race, you have 11.7 second lead. Stop

:27:03. > :27:17.

:27:17. > :27:21.weather but has he got the space to do anything with it? He should get

:27:22. > :27:26.early attraction but there was a lot of wheelspin. So the McLaren

:27:26. > :27:31.has better traction than the Red Bull and that, at the moment, is

:27:31. > :27:41.helping Lewis Hamilton where it really counts. Fantastic stuff,

:27:41. > :27:59.

:27:59. > :28:05.Mark Webber tried to set Hamilton These teams are so close this year,

:28:05. > :28:10.it is great. And not too many changes for next year. We should

:28:10. > :28:16.see plenty of evolution inconsistency. They are lowering

:28:17. > :28:26.the nose for safety and stopping them putting the exhaust under. So

:28:27. > :28:43.

:28:43. > :28:53.the car should be even more equal track that it would be unwise to

:28:53. > :28:54.

:28:54. > :29:01.send one up the inside of turn one. His problem is that if he makes a

:29:01. > :29:11.mistake, Jenson Button will get past. Alguersuari cannot make any

:29:11. > :29:30.

:29:30. > :29:40.inroads on Rosberg, they remain one world championship point or two for

:29:40. > :29:51.

:29:51. > :29:55.Jenson Button now. Fernando Alonso, 40.6 the last lap, we were

:29:56. > :30:05.wondering whether he had cut his tyres, but he has banged in another

:30:06. > :30:06.

:30:06. > :30:16.fast lap. He is coming into play. Jenson Button has got to get up

:30:16. > :30:25.

:30:25. > :30:33.there with Mark Webber and make a down the inside. Lewis Hamilton

:30:33. > :30:40.will get the DRS. The place is his at the moment. He will get the DRS

:30:40. > :30:50.Open. He was already on his way past. With better speed and

:30:50. > :31:17.

:31:17. > :31:22.relative pace of these cars is. You have the McLaren looking mighty on

:31:22. > :31:27.traction and them for what other reason, Lewis Hamilton in that

:31:27. > :31:33.sector, this street circuit section, he loses pace. He was a little bit

:31:33. > :31:43.wrong footed as he came of the last corner. The Lotus was moving slowly.

:31:43. > :31:47.

:31:47. > :31:57.Mark Webber goes for him. I thought that was Mark Webber in front - it

:31:57. > :32:04.

:32:05. > :32:13.is the replay. I am loving his! Mark Webber has done the fastest

:42:07. > :42:13.Button over the line for 4th. Closely pursued by the man who said

:42:13. > :42:21.he was giving up in fifth. And then we watch them come through. Massa

:42:21. > :42:27.coming to pick up some rubbish on his tyres to gain weight on his car.

:42:27. > :42:33.Alguersuari has been caught by Rosberg. We will see a replay. He

:42:33. > :42:38.has come from a long way back. Look at that. You have to wonder if

:42:38. > :42:45.Rosberg has a fuelling issue because that was from 50 metres

:42:45. > :42:53.behind. Alguersuari takes 7th. Rosberg crosses the line now, 4.5

:42:53. > :43:03.seconds adrift. Almost as if he was out of your on the last lap. Buemi

:43:03. > :43:08.

:43:08. > :43:18.is 9th. 7th and 9th for Toro Rosso. Paul di Resta is intense. -- is in

:43:40. > :43:48.done, great drive. RADIO: Great drive Mark, we have

:43:48. > :43:56.won the constructors, well done! Confirmation, we talked about it

:43:56. > :44:02.earlier, by beating McLaren today it secures the inevitable. Red Bull

:44:02. > :44:09.would take the constructors' title this week or in India. Fernando

:44:09. > :44:14.Alonso has given up now. They told him to switch power. He has used

:44:14. > :44:19.all his fuels. I think you're right when you said Nico Rosberg look

:44:19. > :44:26.defenceless at the end of the last lap. You saw it in Suzuka with

:44:26. > :44:33.Jenson Button. We have now got two cars parked on May had just enough

:44:33. > :44:43.fuel to do their legality cheque. The constructors world champions of

:44:43. > :45:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

:45:29. > :45:39.the second consecutive year. There the retirement. Maldonado, and

:45:39. > :45:52.

:45:52. > :45:59.Petrov ran into the back of Michael Bjork driver of the day. Oh, did

:45:59. > :46:04.you see that on the last lap? Sebastian and Vettel did the

:46:05. > :46:14.fastest lap on his last lap of the race. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing

:46:14. > :46:19.the manufacturers go wheel-to-wheel. There is Sebastian Vettel, with

:46:19. > :46:27.arms aloft. I think you have to give it to any one of the top six

:46:27. > :46:36.drivers, Alguersuari, tops seven drivers! And a brilliant showing

:46:36. > :46:43.from Toro Rosso and once again a fantastic drive from di Resta. The

:46:43. > :46:51.top 10 guys get my driver of the day! Don't sit on the fence! I'm

:46:51. > :46:57.going to give mine to Alguersuari. Go choice. Sebastian Vettel, equal

:46:57. > :47:06.12th on the all-time list of Grand Prix winners now. Just 24 years of

:47:06. > :47:16.age. That single finger salute that is not universally popular with the

:47:16. > :47:20.

:47:20. > :47:28.fans, shall we say. And there is Alguersuari. Jenson Button, fourth

:47:28. > :47:35.place for him. I think you're absolutely right. I think it was

:47:35. > :47:44.Fernando Alonso playing games. I noticed that they did not appear to

:47:44. > :47:49.pass it on. 64 kilos, with all his kit on! He weighs nothing. To they

:47:49. > :47:56.should be more discreet, drivers don't want to discuss their weight

:47:56. > :48:02.in front of other this! This will be interesting to see the demeanour

:48:02. > :48:12.of Lewis Hamilton. He already looks better than after getting pole

:48:12. > :48:13.

:48:13. > :48:18.position. He must have enjoyed that battle with Mark Webber. That is

:48:18. > :48:28.why racing drivers do it. There is a smile there. He drove

:48:28. > :48:54.

:48:54. > :49:00.exceptionally well there. He the Constructors' Championship in

:49:00. > :49:07.the end. He knows the way to the top step of the podium. It was a

:49:07. > :49:14.great drive from Hamilton. I think all of these guys have driven

:49:14. > :49:18.exceptionally well. Sebastian, once again, controlling the pace out

:49:18. > :49:24.front. The key thing for me for Hamilton was that he managed his

:49:24. > :49:34.tyres. He was not fazed by Mark Webber chucking it down the inside.

:49:34. > :49:34.

:49:34. > :51:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

:51:50. > :51:56.up. Vettel, very much the class of the field. I think they thought of

:51:56. > :52:05.McLaren would be then today. The prime Minister hands over the first

:52:05. > :52:10.place trophy. The 20th of his relatively short career. He seems

:52:10. > :52:15.even happier with that than his third place last week. Christian

:52:15. > :52:21.Horner, the young team boss that has done such a great job for the

:52:21. > :52:31.Red Bull team, based at Milton Keynes in the UK. He takes the

:52:31. > :52:32.

:52:32. > :52:36.constructors trophy. It is a pleasure to watch the Red Bull team

:52:36. > :52:42.when they are operating in the carriage and the pit lane. Lewis

:52:42. > :52:47.Hamilton, a bright smile on his face. That is nice to see. That was

:52:47. > :52:52.a great drive. Good to see him back on form. He can manage those

:52:52. > :52:58.Pirelli tyres, he cannot match these Red Bull drivers, and he did

:52:58. > :53:04.hold off this man, Mark Webber. Supreme skill in racing between

:53:04. > :53:09.those two. Great respect and great skill. But in the end, by 12

:53:09. > :53:14.seconds exactly, it was not quite enough to beat the double world

:53:14. > :53:20.champion and the man who won the second South Korean Grand Prix,

:53:20. > :53:25.Sebastian Vettel. One week ago he was prone to the drivers' champion,

:53:25. > :53:29.seven days later they won the Constructors' Championship. The

:53:29. > :53:35.best driver in Formula One, the best team in Formula One and the

:53:35. > :53:39.best way to start a Sunday morning, a cup of coffee and the Grand Prix.

:53:39. > :53:46.Sebastian Vettel macro proving once again that if you can run and hide

:53:46. > :53:50.in Grand Prix you can win again and again. If you thought Sebastian was

:53:50. > :53:54.fast, getting the fastest lap of the race with the last lap of the

:53:54. > :54:04.race, David Coulthard has already made it to the pit lane from the

:54:04. > :54:06.

:54:06. > :54:10.commentary box! That was a great race, wasn't it? It was fantastic.

:54:10. > :54:15.We have three manufacturers all cracking at the lap times within

:54:15. > :54:24.one or two tens of each other. Sebastian Vettel has made this his

:54:24. > :54:29.own. A great cheer from the grandstand. The youngest double

:54:29. > :54:34.world champion, the youngest team principal. They know how to

:54:34. > :54:43.celebrate that moment. And Mark Webber helping them secured the

:54:44. > :54:48.strategies and different tyres at different times. You could not take

:54:48. > :54:53.your eyes off the race. He indeed, going into the race we heard the

:54:53. > :54:59.stories that the tyres could not get a lap 10 or lap 15 on the prime.

:54:59. > :55:02.In the end, this was definitely a two stock race. Watching the

:55:02. > :55:06.strategies on fault as the fuel burns off and the drivers come into

:55:06. > :55:12.their own, what could Fernando Alonso have done if he had not

:55:12. > :55:19.spent so long behind Felipe Massa? There was a lot of great driving.

:55:19. > :55:25.Moment of the race? OK, I give up! There was a great bit of

:55:25. > :55:31.gamesmanship. And we heard Perez say as he came when the final

:55:31. > :55:38.corner, I have lost all the power! These guys are having fun with the

:55:38. > :55:45.radio. They have the ability to communicate without using the

:55:45. > :55:49.narrative. They can send messages that they want using the road to

:55:49. > :55:55.switches. They only use the radio as a confirmation and they are all

:55:55. > :56:00.aware that we are listening to them. For Fernando Alonso 87 that message

:56:00. > :56:04.in English, if he really wanted to send an emotional message, he could

:56:04. > :56:10.have said it in Italian and his engineer would have understood.

:56:10. > :56:15.have a man here who, I think, needs a towel. He is holding a trophy

:56:15. > :56:18.that means Red Bull other constructors champions. Apps can be

:56:18. > :56:23.covered in champagne! That is the trophy that mean she picked up

:56:23. > :56:30.enough points today to be confirmed the best team in Formula One. Well

:56:30. > :56:35.done. It was a phenomenal race for us, an excess -- exciting race.

:56:35. > :56:40.This trophy represents the second Constructors' Championship and it

:56:40. > :56:44.is for the dedication and hard work of the whole team. Every member of

:56:44. > :56:48.the team can be very proud. You can only have won first time to have

:56:48. > :56:53.that special moment, you can only have a second time to achieve

:56:53. > :56:59.something which very few teams have managed to do. Where do you think

:56:59. > :57:03.the team can go from here? You have teams that a hunting you down.

:57:03. > :57:08.Absolutely, but we are going to enjoy this moment. There are still

:57:08. > :57:12.four races to go this year. To win it last year was exciting, to

:57:12. > :57:17.retain the, the added pressure that goes into their, and the manner in

:57:17. > :57:22.which we have done it, I am immensely proud of the whole team.

:57:22. > :57:30.All the men and women, boys and girls behind the scenes, in all the

:57:30. > :57:37.departments that you do not get to see. It is down to them. There is a

:57:37. > :57:40.really special spirit in this team that is unrivalled in the pit lane.

:57:40. > :57:45.You get to stand up there, you're the one that gets covered in

:57:45. > :57:49.champagne. Markham Sebastian get the fun of driving Formula One cars,

:57:49. > :57:56.but we know there is a legion of people back in not wanting to have

:57:56. > :58:01.done everything they can to make you back to back champions. Perhaps

:58:01. > :58:11.she whipped up like to take a look at this. -- perhaps you would like

:58:11. > :58:11.

:58:11. > :58:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

:58:58. > :59:08.keep on working, we do our thing, brilliant work by the Red Bull

:59:08. > :59:12.mechanics! He has done an amazing job for the team. It is pretty

:59:12. > :59:18.straight forward for us, we just try and drive as fast as we can.

:59:18. > :59:28.is a pleasure every week to be with you. I am loving it. Fantastic,

:59:28. > :59:32.

:59:32. > :59:38.boys! Great to drive, Mark, fantastic, we have won the

:59:38. > :59:44.constructors, well done! Just to rub salt in the wings of the teams

:59:44. > :59:49.chasing you, you do it by having two drivers upon the page in today.

:59:49. > :59:54.Watching back that bit of footage, at not looking at the next race,

:59:54. > :59:59.the next challenge, how nice to stand here and reflect on how

:59:59. > :00:04.Dommett unimpressive the team had been this year. This championship

:00:04. > :00:09.started in March and we are now in my doctor. It is relentless, the

:00:09. > :00:15.pace of development in Formula One. That was a tenth win today which is

:00:15. > :00:25.something very special. And a track which, after Friday, we didn't

:00:25. > :00:30.

:00:30. > :00:35.battle without a battle. And the teams behind Red Bull have put up a

:00:35. > :00:41.great fight? Incredibly that was one of the more dominant victories

:00:41. > :00:45.we have seen Vettel had. A 10 second winning margin. When we look

:00:45. > :00:54.back at the Clarence, and Ferrari have said they will concentrate on

:00:55. > :00:59.next year's car. We have Alonso as saying he is slowing in the towel.

:00:59. > :01:05.You are the fastest team in Formula One, but looking back I think we

:01:05. > :01:11.knew that after the race in Australia. Eddie would have asked a

:01:11. > :01:15.difficult question. It is not the same without him. We are missing

:01:15. > :01:21.Eddie Jordan this morning. Let's hear from the guys at the very

:01:21. > :01:28.front. REPORTER: congratulations, a tenth

:01:28. > :01:34.win of the season. I think it is good to see the whole team keeps

:01:34. > :01:39.pushing. In terms of preparation it wasn't ideal because I think most

:01:39. > :01:45.of us were a bit tipsy after the last race. But I think we deserve

:01:45. > :01:50.that. To come here, after it to Friday and Saturday morning, to

:01:50. > :01:55.come back from qualifying in the race, the car was fantastic. It was

:01:55. > :02:00.so much fun to drive. It was getting quicker. When the safety

:02:00. > :02:05.car came, I did not need that. Lewis Hamilton came close again. I

:02:05. > :02:10.was struggling with the tyres but the car stabilised and I was able

:02:10. > :02:13.to open the gap before the second pit-stop. And then to the end it

:02:13. > :02:18.was fantastic, I could push when I had two and got a bit of a gap

:02:18. > :02:22.because those guys were fighting. It was fantastic. At the last

:02:22. > :02:28.weekend, the Drivers' Championship, this weekend the Constructors'

:02:28. > :02:35.Championship for the team. Also I want to say, especially in this

:02:35. > :02:40.place, a lot of thanks to Renault, they have been pushing so hard. We

:02:40. > :02:44.have shown as a team we have more than last year when we have the

:02:44. > :02:48.engine failure here, to come back and still win the Championship last

:02:48. > :02:54.year and this year, faultless from the Renault side and the engine is

:02:54. > :03:01.working fantastically well. We are very competitive on those circuits

:03:01. > :03:10.with long straight, like Monza and here again. The package is

:03:10. > :03:16.fantastic. I am very happy today. It was fun for Vettel, how much fun

:03:16. > :03:22.was it for you? Given all the pressure from behind? It was OK.

:03:22. > :03:28.Mark Webber drove very well throughout the race.

:03:28. > :03:33.Congratulations to Sebastien. It was impossible to be able to catch

:03:33. > :03:37.him and overtake. Later on in the race, I struggled, I had pretty

:03:37. > :03:41.much lock on everywhere, and struggling with understeer. But it

:03:41. > :03:49.was a good weekend for me compared to what I have had in the past, so

:03:49. > :03:59.I am happy. Mark, your thoughts on the battle with Lewis Hamilton

:03:59. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:06.which goes on and on? It is the team's day today. Very impressive.

:04:06. > :04:11.Reliability is faultless this year, 100% reliability from everyone. It

:04:11. > :04:17.has been a phenomenal year. Disappointed not to be second today.

:04:17. > :04:22.We did a good job in the first stop, and then put ourselves in a good

:04:22. > :04:27.position but the safety car was not a big deal. At the second stop we

:04:28. > :04:33.did the worst thing. We did not stop before or after, we stopped on

:04:33. > :04:41.the same lap, so that was disappointing. We have good pace to

:04:41. > :04:46.pull away from Lewis, but it was a good battle. I look forward to the

:04:46. > :04:52.next one. You have heard from the men at the

:04:52. > :05:02.fund, but what about the men behind them? This is how it finish this

:05:02. > :05:26.

:05:26. > :05:30.Bruno Senna. He was 28 yesterday and finished 13th yesterday. And

:05:30. > :05:34.congratulations to Kovalainen. Daniel Ricardo started at the back

:05:34. > :05:40.and finished 19th. What a disappointing race it was for the

:05:40. > :05:45.guys who did not finish. Maldonado, Michael Schumacher and Petrov. They

:05:45. > :05:49.have got to know each other very well this year. We already knew

:05:49. > :05:58.Sebastian Vettel was the champion, all he did was extend his lead over

:05:58. > :06:05.Jenson Button, Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.

:06:05. > :06:11.The real fight becomes Renault against Force India, BMW Sauber

:06:11. > :06:16.against Toro Rosso. Getting interesting there. Still a bit to

:06:16. > :06:21.play for. Today was the perfect example from Sebastian Vettel why

:06:21. > :06:26.he and the team managed to pick up the title so early in the season.

:06:26. > :06:30.When he needs to make the impasse and overtakes, he can do it? He was

:06:30. > :06:36.able to use his tyres to good effect ample a pass on Lewis

:06:36. > :06:41.Hamilton. We expected the race out of the grid to have a major

:06:41. > :06:45.disadvantage of into the first corner, it was the dirty side.

:06:46. > :06:50.Crucially, Lewis Hamilton managed to convert that pole position into

:06:50. > :06:56.the lead. Sebastian Vettel was able to pass and at this stage, it was

:06:56. > :07:02.very different cars we were seeing ban when Mark Webber was behind him

:07:02. > :07:10.later in the race. Great driving from all these guys at the front.

:07:10. > :07:18.Managing to not know what the tyre pressures are, the pressures are,

:07:18. > :07:21.and then Sebastian Vettel using up all his KERS. I think that was a

:07:21. > :07:27.slightly tentative Lewis Hamilton. I expected he would have defended

:07:27. > :07:31.that harder. Nonetheless, it was first of out front. This was great

:07:31. > :07:36.racing between the top teams, all the drivers managing to keep it

:07:36. > :07:43.close. We were discussing whether this man could run alongside his

:07:43. > :07:47.team-mate and jump across Sebastian Vettel. A but Jenson Button went

:07:47. > :07:50.backwards. He fought well throughout the race, did not finish

:07:50. > :07:53.on the podium but let's hear from him.

:07:53. > :07:58.Battling until the end, it seemed a Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton

:07:58. > :08:03.pulled away and you could not hang on to the back of them? The pace

:08:03. > :08:10.was OK, but I could not get close to them in the last sector. Whether

:08:10. > :08:15.I did not have enough runs in the car? I just had so much understeer

:08:15. > :08:20.in the last sector, I could not get close enough to them to use DRS. I

:08:20. > :08:26.think it's was used once in the whole race. Not perfect, but if

:08:26. > :08:31.this is a bad day, it is not so bad. What about the start? It was all

:08:31. > :08:37.right. I thought Mark Webber was behind me in to turn three. I break

:08:37. > :08:41.where I felt it was correct. There was a car I could not see before I

:08:41. > :08:46.actually turned. Then I was stuck on the outside and lost a lot of

:08:47. > :08:51.places. I don't think it would have changed my race, even if I didn't

:08:51. > :08:57.have a bad first lap. I wasn't quick enough. A bit of excitement

:08:57. > :09:02.in the pit stop lane alongside Nico Rosberg? It is weird here. Coming

:09:02. > :09:12.out the pit second is better because you get the DRS all the way

:09:12. > :09:23.

:09:23. > :09:31.your face? Not a great one, but it is better than last year. It is not

:09:31. > :09:37.one of my better circuits. I did not have any more of relief. Could

:09:37. > :09:42.not get close enough to use DRS. A bit disappointed but we will look

:09:42. > :09:46.at the reasons for it. A strong race by Jenson Button, but this is

:09:46. > :09:51.the fastest car in Formula One. If you take a look at the wheel, you

:09:51. > :09:56.can see why it is covered in bits and pieces. The aim is at the end

:09:56. > :10:03.of the race you can cover those tyres in as much debris as possible

:10:03. > :10:08.for the minimum weight. Michael Schumacher fighting to keep out of

:10:08. > :10:14.Petrov's wait. So frustrating for Michael? He was the innocent victim.

:10:14. > :10:21.Absolutely nothing wrong with the position of his car. Petrov goes

:10:21. > :10:26.outside Alonso. He gets so distracted by that, as did Alonso.

:10:26. > :10:33.Alonso was smart enough to work there to go wide, Petrov went into

:10:33. > :10:37.the back of Michael Schumacher. think he was so star-struck, he got

:10:37. > :10:42.confused. But the battle of the day was Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber,

:10:42. > :10:48.showing us what Formula One is all about. It is great to watch this?

:10:48. > :10:54.It was fantastic. This is where Lewis Hamilton was unsighted by the

:10:54. > :11:00.Lotus. Mark Webber went for the inside. Lewis Hamilton very smart,

:11:00. > :11:04.backing out of it and positioning himself perfectly to deploy the

:11:04. > :11:10.KERS. And then when they cross the DRS activation point, throws the

:11:10. > :11:14.wing open and gets a massive over speed. It allows Mark Webber to go

:11:14. > :11:20.back into the slipstream, but the 10 miles an hour speed he gained it

:11:20. > :11:23.was too much. We will go on for quite a while. We are heading off

:11:24. > :11:29.to the Forum. But you have to leave us and get on with your Sunday, I

:11:29. > :11:39.understand. But police tune in and watch the repeat at 3pm on BBC One.

:11:39. > :11:47.If you cannot make it, we are back tonight. -- pleased to name. There

:11:47. > :11:51.is another chance to see the MotoGP raised. We will be back in a couple
