The British Grand Prix: Build-Up Formula 1

Previously on F1... Oh wow, this is fabulous stuff! What a start to the

season. A new record, six winners, the seventh winner. Round 9. Great

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 71 seconds

Hey wait for me. Come on, catch up. Stop lagging behind! You promised

me private aviation. I have come to Silverstone in the past in the back

of a van, even a hot air balloon, but I have never done it like this!

Give them all a wave boys! He won't let go. He can't wave! Everyone in

the camp site. Drivers walking around the track. The flaks are up

and flying. We have got a real sense of the beauty and power for

the start of this Grand Prix weekend. That's caissy man!

crazy man! I have a lovely present for you. Enjoy the ride! Oh! This

for you. Enjoy the ride! Oh! This is amazing. Oh no! Mummy! It is an

extraordinary way to arrive at Silverstone. It's horrible. Oh! I

love the British Grand Prix! JAKE HUMPHREY: Thousands of people here

HUMPHREY: Thousands of people here and a few million at mom agree. Ra

-- delight to the fans in the Grandstand and the drivers who will

be lifting this trophy today. It is a treat to be so close to trophy.

But let's talk about our flight here. Thank you for sorting that

out. It is the first time I have seen you scared. I'm not thanking

him for that. It was frightening. There is only a bit of fabric

holding us in place. But it was a unique event. Eddie, one thing that

was special and the reason for getting up there was to see the

camp site at 11 o'clock on a Thursday morning, camping and

Silverstone they go together like fish and clips? The thing that is

historic, people love coming to Silverstone and they like camping

out. The smell of the barbecues, a few pints, meeting your friends,

there is nothing like it. It is special. If you think the millions

have changed Eddie, he is camping here this weekend and he knows his

motor sport roots are strong. But you have raced here many time and

within here twice, you must look back on these wins with pride.

We're proud for you. Of course I do look pride, and also with surprise,

I don't remember being that quick around here. There was some good

guys with me. And very proud, British Grand Prix, to do it in

1999 and 2000, great parties. say prove to me it is not true.

Some people said you shaed tear, is this a fact? Yes tears of joy and

surprise. Fantastic moments. Eight of the 12 Grand Prix teams in the

world are based in Britain. So a lot of home support. Well done. As

David said, an emotional thing to win here. I wonder who will pick up

this trophy today? Whoever it is, let's hope it is not just any old

Grand Prix, but a special up with. This weekend, despite there noise

rain, the fans here they -- there is no rain, the fans here, they

Do it for Jubilee Lewis, do it for Nigel Mansell, he knows what it

takes to win here. We have grabbed him to speak to us. You're fresh

from cycling over a thousand miles for charity. What is more emotional,

completing that, or coming back here? Completing that. But coming

back to Silverstone and the crowd, they're just fantastic, aren't

they? They're fantastic. What is lovely, as things change and we're

standing next to this �27 million building, the passion stays the

same. The fans, with what they have put up, they have been amazing.

What a race we have in store today. You always said that the fans were

worth half a second here to you. Can that be true?? Yes it is a

condition of your state of mind. Ask David. You can use people power.

I don't think I quite had that in reserve. I was all closer to the

limiter than you were. But you had some fantastic victories here, I

remember watching those and the sea of people on the track. You have an

intimate connection. In 87 when weed ha Mexican waver going around,

it was the most incredible thing. Today we're going to have an

incredible race. You have won here tpwies and there have been 46

Formula One races, so you have won 4.3 of the races. That is good. The

thing I'm impressed with, what you did on those planes. You mad!

will bring you next time. You can be strapped to me. You must have

got paid a lot to do that. Money never came into it with the BBC.

Next year, look out for four planes. It is a special race and we love

coming here. And it is lovely that the fans help to make its such a

the fans help to make its such a special one. And you can see that

tech kas in the United States arrives. Some things never change,

but some things stay the same. -- Texas. We have seen some amazing

qualifying sessions, but even by the standards of this circuit,

yesterday was pretty special. EDWARDS: heavy rain caused more

spills than we have seen all year. Shuefrplt was lucky to miss the

barrier. -- Michael Schumacher. Fernando Alonso took pole position.

Felipe Massa was in fifth to confirm a strong day for the team.

Mark Webber came here to Fernando Alonso's time, but he starts on the

outside of the front row and the top two will go wheel to wheel into

turn one. Lewis Hamilton was fastest in Q2, but in Q3, he

couldn't get his interimmediate yaited tyres to work and the 2008

starts eighth. Jens famed to break into the top -- Jenson Button

failed to break into the top 13. He kill need a Canada 2000 eleven type

performance. Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber share the front row.

Michael Schumacher is third with Sebastian Vettel alongside. Felipe

Massa is in fifth, Raikkonen is sixth. The two who collided in

Valencia are in eighth. Daniel Ricciardo is 12th Athletic Nico

Hulkenberg is 14th after a five place penalty for a gear box change.

Button starts 16th. Jean-Eric Vergne was penalised for his antics

in the European Grier. JAKE HUMPHREY: -- European Grand Prix.

The count down has started. All the teams are getting ready. There is a

few sets of tyres. We don't know what will happen with the weather.

I don't think anyone can say they know what is coming in. But rather

than, they will always take a set of inters as a back up. Now you

need to make sure your covered that. Puts pressure on the team. They

have to service the car. And they have got to service the car with

the right tyres, how many times in confusing situations like this

teams have to be on their toes to know and make sure the information

coming from the perch to the team must know which car is coming in.

We have seen too many times mistakes being made here. To our

right are members of Ferrari team. How will they be feeling with a

driver like Fernando Alonso, he has the luck and the ability and when

it mattered yesterday he pulled out all the stops. It was close and in

difficult conditions. You would think they would smile more. They

are nervous. They have a key asset in Fernando Alonso. And we can ask

is he the best driver in Formula One. If you follow me, we will push

through and it is always busy here. Jenson Button, how would you

explain what is going on with him? He is struggling. He is having a

small dip in form right now. If we can get Eddie to point in the

direction of camera. We're live. Are you still with us? Yes. Jenson

Button has had a dip in form. But this will be an opportunity for him

to show his about. Jenson Button struggled. One man who has

impressed is perpblg Joe Perez, he was flying when they were getting

was flying when they were getting out the red flag. Before the rain

thing looked good. What happened was a shame. We choose to go on

inters in the last few minutes and we saw saw -- thought the track was

going to be dry. We made the wrong call. We couldn't make it through

Q2 and we got the position from the bepbl is the. Hopefully we can

improve. You always make the most of your tyre, are you used to live

near here, you tons British summer. What can we do? We're expecting at

the moment a dry track to start with. And then hopefully some rain.

But hopefully it can come earlier. You would like some rain? Of course,

I think if it is a normal race, we're out of position. Thank you.

Have a good day. You're frustrated for Sergio Perez? Think hi did a

great job and through no fault of his own.Ed that qualifying been

allowed to progress, I think he would have been stop at the top of

the list. It must be incredibly frustrating. Here is a great young

driver and you know he will have plenty of time in the future, but

If you look at the UN the championship is unfolding, the

story towards the back is that one point sell-out -- separates Force

India from Williams. And Ferrari starting to chase Lotus hard. Six

changes of the championship leader. And Fernando Alonso has that 20

point lead, the biggest of anyone this season thanks to that

Very bright! And much about the furniture but the car seems to be

working well at the moment. -- am not sure. When I won in Valencia, I

thought this moment I would try to remember for many years. Sir many

smiles and even tears, what did that mean to you? It was emotional

because Valencia has been up and down for me. That was one of my

most difficult races. Because only three days after my grandmother

died... It was a good place to win at home and enjoy with everybody.

He scored points in every race this season. Is that what is going to

take to win this championship? think you need to win. The because

at the beginning of the championship, seven wins for seven

different drivers and there is a mix. In the second part, we have to

settle down and the top teams will dominate. We have a competitive

package and also, our strongest. Is it inexperience and the approach,

which is always trying to find perfection. That is a nice approach.

It is professional from the team. This is something that for Larry

has with that extra competitive nature over James. -- teams. What

does it mean for and none British driver to come to Silverstone?

People love former No 1 in this country and they understand former

No 1. -- Formula One. We understand and enjoy racing here. If it isn't

Felipe Massa, who would you like to see alongside you? The team decide

may, if they ask my opinion, I will tell you. Is it better having

someone you are friendly with, like Mark Webber, or is it better to

have the friendship out of it and have another rival. It is good to

work in a friendly way, you have to trust your team-mate and know the

improvements that he might find and if they will suit you as well in

the next race. You need to have a good relationship with team-mates.

I could not go without mentioning the football. I enjoyed the victory,

it was well deserved for Spain but also good for Italy and I am a

little bit sorry for them. The boys in the garage are still speaking

to? They're OK, as long as we do not speak about football! If you

are English, you certainly do not talk about football. We saw that

sign saying, brake on. 9% of the lap, the drivers will be on the

brakes. He was that -- we were chatting to these guys and he told

me that in Malaysia, it was brilliant and in Valencia,

sprinkled with luck. When you have that, it is a formidable

combination. The double world champion. Terribly difficult

conditions that they have to put up with. But he appears to be the ring

master. And in Valencia, it was overtaking him to turn number two.

Look at that opportunity, he almost over Cook's it. When you think

about how bad the car was when they started off pre-season. And he just

kept going at it. He is a great example to so many sports people.

And that is, never give up and keep attacking. He is absolutely up

there, in my opinion, with his ability. This car is out of

position and the Ferrari isn't quite good enough to be leading.

That British bulldog spirit. Never, never quite. That seems to be very

appropriate for the way he goes about racing. He has tried the car

beautifully around the circuit. Is he currently the best driver or

could he be the best driver ever? Certainly, at the moment, there is

a strong argument to say that at this moment, he is the class in the

field. There are people like Sebastian Vettel, who we could be

talking about, and Hamilton, but at the moment it is regarded by most

people throughout the world to study this business a lot that

Fernando Alonso is top. Just over 30 minutes to go. Earlier in the

season we were inside the Ferrari garage. Lots of head-scratching

going on. At the moment they looked very relaxed. Most of the sad faces

are down at McLaren. The worst grades lot for Lewis Hamilton for

the season and Jenson Button struggling with mixed conditions,

when he normally is so good. But he is good in the sunshine. He has got

We're talking about clothing. Don't you think this is amazing? How good

is that? Are you looking at my bum? Jenson Button, with a triathlon

team, that is the most important bit... That is what you are doing

the run for? When all the other drivers go on holiday, you have

your own? You will take part? on holiday. No. 9, coming up. The

big one, British Grand Prix. It is, it has it gone to plan but it is a

high-speed circuit. None of this low-speed stuff. Hold on! My starts

are not as good as they used to be...! You know what it is like to

win in the home country. It is great. 12 years ago, mate. That is

a long time. That is a lifetime. first Grand Prix. You were just a

little lad. At this point the camera things that I am being

really good, but I am actually...! You want a night of 5th place.

was under one hour. Not much of recovery. And we go into Italy.

It is a big year for Britain with the Olympics. Massive year and

Wimbledon. The Queen's Jubilee. have met the Queen. I have. Did you

ask about racing? She knew a lot. do not know if that is the right

word. She knew about Formula One. I don't know how you drive around at

breakneck speeds! Amazing! When the World Championship is something I

have wanted to do for my whole life, I have achieved that and I won in

Monaco, which every driver wants to achieve. But to win the home grand

prix, I have not done that yet but I am sure it is pretty amazing.

second one felt so much better! can swear on camera! I love you!

Last year was a great opportunity for us to get the podium. But we

did not have the full wheels on the wagon coming out of the pits. At

the end of the year, this car will sit Silverstone more than any other

car I have driven. The Japanese flag on the side. And that band

means number one. You have really embraced a very different culture

in Japan? I am a big fan of Japanese culture and winning in

Japan was very special. You were so happy. The moment that you share

together, just after getting back. The one at the circuit?! He is

being so not too! I think I might go back into the van, if that is OK.

No... You are no wimp! I am off the challenge. -- up for the challenge.

That was a pleasurable day upcycling and now back to business.

Jenson Button, sitting in the garage. Jenson Button will make his

way out in just a few moments. This is a race where he never has really

shone. His best finish was in 4th place. The black it's coming off.

Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula One world champion. It looks nice and

leisurely. You were going on a serious training run with

professional cyclists. Still not very relaxed, despite his current

predicament? He has the inner comfort of knowing he has won the

World Championship, his ultimate goal, but he wants more. He wants

to deliver within McLaren and he has established himself well within

the team but he is going through different form and that isn't

helped by having that qualifying yesterday but this is an

opportunity to bounce back. That little dip in his form, but the

statistics, spreadsheets, his performance differential between

him and Lewis Hamilton is identical to the difference between Felipe

Massa and Fernando Alonso. We are asking questions about Felipe

Massa's future. How long until the question Jenson Button and why are

there these issues? Let's put the fillet them as a situation away.

And let's put aside the fact that Jenson Button is the ex-world

champion. He won the first grand prix of the season in Australia.

His current form isn't good enough. McLaren desperately need to win the

constructors championship. It has been so many years since their last

got that and it is a long fight at the front with Lewis Hamilton but

we know how resilient Jenson Button is and four Show, he can bounce

back and it is too early to start calling this position. I would not

do that. He is desperate to perform, last year we saw him rolling down

the pit lane with only three wheels. You know what it is like to win

here, as you told him twice during that ride! But it would be lovely

for him... Be it would indeed. The only hope this afternoon is of

mother nature place her hand and gives us changeable weather

conditions. If it stays dry like night, I do not see how he can come

from the current position to win this. That is vital because the way

the great has panned out, he did not do a lot of running on the

intermediate tyres. He has got those intermediate tyres that he

can use if he wants to but if it isn't wet, that will be no dissent

-- no advantage. They are only good if you need to use them and at this

moment, believe it or not, we have blue skies at Silverstone. Look, I

think David is correct. Any chance that Jenson Button has to do either

of the podium or better, the top of the podium, it has to be a with

safety cars and a lot of things going his way. And you don't get

that lucky twice. Canada was such a special race, he drove brilliantly.

If we just look between David and Eddie, you can see the front jack.

There were issues with that, the Brecon, and the team has of those

problems and we have looked at some of the mistakes with McLaren. We

don't see all of this stop because we were riding with Jenson Button.

They believe this is the faster stop in Formula One history. For

tyres in just over two seconds. Amazing and McLaren will strive to

be the leaders in the pit lane but what they need is consistent to 0.8

seconds. And consistency is everything. There must be some

other procedure to change. They will get an Topper that and that

will be a distant memory. It could be pressure. I would even go up to

three seconds on the dot but to be sure that we could do that every

time. And having all four wheels on the tyre. You want consistency. Not

one amazing lap. That is for egos. There is look at the great...

Vitaly Petrov... What is the issue? So knocking... -- smoking. And that

has been shaking back and forward. The engine has stopped. Hydraulic

is you. As Becker issue. -- issue. We saw plenty of smoke from Mark

Webber. We will keep our eyes on that. Cater him were looking to

bring up its to try to impress. They did not make it through to the

second part of qualifying. And the story is they have lost the engine.

We will bring you the latest as we get it. What of the drivers... He

was driving that fast. Around 200mph. It is always nice that the

fans get to see the drivers at a slower speed before that. It was

good that Lee McKenzie blagged her way on board. Lack at -- look at

the fans, all these flags. These guys have been here for days in the

rain. It just such a fantastic thing to drive for them. But it

never dampens their enthusiasm? That is because we're Brits. We

always rains. It is normal for us. I grew up racing in the wet. So I

guess it prepare us better than some of the others. Will you give

them something to clear about today? Definitely. I think

everything is to play for. It is mixed conditions. We have overtaken

one car already. I have made two places up, I started 16th, not 18th.

It is going the rain during the race and hope flay dry start. Being

there at the end it as important as being quick in the race. You're

dressed I up for winter. You have a nice view ahead of you. How are you

feeling I feel good and optimistic. But knowing that we need to be very

ready for any conditions, a change in the weather and the race will be

long and demanding for this kind of concentration. But I just think it

is good to start on pole and have some free air and put some laps

together and finish the race. Because I think it is a hard race

to survive. We want to finish in a good position. Last year was your

first time, were you amazed by the support? There is nothing like this.

There is no other venue we go to, the commitment of the fans to turn

up when they have been told not to, it shows what it means to the UK. I

hope they can see a trouble-free race today. JAKE HUMPHREY: So that

is the drivers gearing up for race. They want to be flying around at

full speed and not being pushed like this. Behind us this is

happening live, Vitali Petrov sitting on the outside of his car,

helping the engineers. We can see what is happening in the garage to

bring you these shots live. It is frustrating, David? Yes the frantic

activity tells me that is not an engine. If it is an engine, that is

it. So it must be some other issues they feel they can get changed in

the time available. There is still quite a bit of smoke there. We will

make our way out on to the grid. There was too much smoke at the

rear of the car. You know, a gear box wouldn't go like that. It is

hard to know, but it did point to an engine and it rocked in place

and in gear. But they wouldn't be working on it if it was an engine.

There must be something maybe engine-related that they can change.

Well plenty of drama, but this is where the real story is. This is

the grid for the 2012 British Grand Prix and it is wonderful to see the

Union flag flying. Just show people the atmosphere and how many people

are packed in. David, what it is like here, what memories does it

bring back? Not of this particular grid, we had it somewhere else. But

it is the British Grand Prix and you know you have the crowd and the

pit complex area with the lucky corporate guests. And I love the

moment on the grid. This is the moment where you take

responsibility for team. They walk away and you have the support of

the people here, a few hundred people at the factory and it is on

your shoulders. David, guess what? You're about the take on the full

responsibility for team. Gone are the days when you would try and not

speak to the media. Are you ready to soak up the atmosphere and have

some fun. Absolutely. Eddie you go and find some people. We will let

you go. Matt are you keeping up? is not as busy as I imagine. Have

you found anybody. Watch out, there is a racing car there. These grids

are busy you know. At least we know we're not bumping into his guest.

We have got... Deric Warwick, the president are you OK for a quick

word. There has been not talk about the build up to the event, but

let's talk about what this represent, the British Grand Prix,

why do we wax lyrical about it? is a special event, because for us

being British it is special, but this is one of the tick boxes that

all drivers want to win. They want to win Monaco and the British and

Italian Grand Prix. Look at the fans, you don't git fans like that

anywhere else. We have over 100,000 people who have battled through the

weather and the Cor parks. You were pretty mega, is there any other

pleg gas we should know about. -- Meg gas. I don't know about

celebrities, but Lewis and Jenson Button, we want a British win.

is what a lot of people woulden joy. I saw Mark Webber as I got bumped

out of way with Martin Brundle, who might be just be there. I'm going

to see if I can get a word from Mark. Here is a chap that, Goldie,

I have seen you at a few Grand Prixs. That is my third one. I'm

loving it. The weather is amazing. I knew it would clear. I have got

two and four on the grid, I'm happy. We're going to jump in here, Mark,

if I could get a quick word. How are you. You have your celebrity

friends here. Simon, how are you. A quick word from Mark. Second on the

grid, what are you hoping for? bubbly at the end. It could be a

tricky race. The sun's out now. So as you know, it can change here and

we're looking forward to putting a clean event together. Good luck son.

Simon, sorry to have brushed you to one side. I had to get a word.

pleasure. I have not seen you at a Grand Prix before. I went to the

Abu Dhabi in 2010 and I got to chance to come here. It is a real

treat to be here. Are you working on any projects we should know

about. Start shooting World's End in September. Enjoy your British

Grand Prix. Right I will wander across the back. I think if we just

pass down here. Here is a man we're not used to seeing in the second

row, Sebastian Vettel, he is busy for the moment. Nigel Mansell there.

He carries a lot of British support. Just not any drivers to be seen

around the Ferrari car now. I don't want to go too far down. Sorry,

Matt, I want to go back to Michael Schumacher's car. I got carried

away, I'm not used to Michael qualifying so close to the front

these days. We have a bit of pointing activity here. Who is he

pointing at? Who are you pointing at, dock any more nick? -- Dominic.

I have done Simon already. Have we got Michael Schumacher around his

grid? I'm hearing in my ears that Pastor Maldonado is around

somewhere. I'm not seeing him. I'm struggling to see any drivers at

the moment. Matt you're pointing back. Who are you pointing at.

Don't just point, lead the way. You lead the way. Who are we going to?

I'm going to get a word with Gary Anderson. You don't normally see

him. What have you noticed that we should be looking out for.

Mitchell, was it the script or was it another deal. It is a well

written book. It is a great book and a strange choice for a film to

make, because it is so long and most scripts are 100 pages and this

is 200 pages. They raised the money independently, they raised $100 and

the directors, they are fascinating. Whatever else it is, it will be

fascinating. You're a big fan. You we you're with Ferrari. Is the

British Grier something ferbl e special for you. -- is the British

Grand Prix something special to you. It is quiting to be here and the

weather makes it doubly exciting. I was chatting to the Ferrari people

and they're panicked. They were asking me what I thought would

happen with the weather. Well we know that side inside the press, as

well. We are... So well to see you here. Because we have got Wimbledon

on and it could be a huge day for British sport. Yes it could be a

double-header and even a triple head Fer David Howell wins the

French Open in Paris. Jake, you maybe? Well for me. A lovely throw

back and nice to see the grid so busy. For the drivers the moment

will arrive, where they focus on what will happen. Yesterday, we saw

a stunning drive from Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber not far

behind. That is so tasty at the front. You have the men one and two

in the Championship one and two on the grid. Here is how they compared

It was a battle between first and second in the World Championship.

Fernando Alonso on the left and Fernando Alonso on the left and

Mark Webber on the right. They go through 140mph in the wet and

follow the same line into the first of the village section. Look, you

can see already Fernando Alonso is ahead of Mark Webber. Takes a

different line to Mark Webber, running wider through right. Both

on the same line through the left hand. They straighten the car as

best they can. Try to avoid the white line and Mark Webber has

pulled it back. And this just position the car, use your KERS and

look at the difference of where they position the car. Mark Webber

uses all the of the kerb to cut the corner. You can see Mark Webber is

having to neutralise his steering as the car oversteers. Fernando

Alonso more committed on the positioning, as they avoid the kerb,

building speed up to around 180 mph. And Mark Webber is on the route to

Fernando Alonso. 140 mph and drifting the car, correct Sat. Gets

it back on track as they both follows similar lines in the

position. Through Becketts. Fernando Alonso, coming out onto

Hangar Straight. We crucially see that difference in the choice of

the line. Mark Webber, cooling those intermediate tyres. Both on

the white line. Searching for the off-line group. And into Club. One

of the trickier corners. Taking that shall rely on entry, allowing

him to position the car much better for the exit and it comes down to

the last section. Overstayer from Fernando Alonso, both on to the

kerb. Only 5100 summer second that give Fernando Alonso pole position.

-- five one hundredths. This is what the drivers will be hoping to

use today to get past if the racing is tight and difficult. The DRS

will make all the difference. And every ounce of driving ability to

fight through the field. He won it some miracles as well. From that

place in the grid, he needs safety cars and a change of weather and he

needs all sorts of things. It is a He will be frustrated that the sun

has come out. It is lovely for the fans but he would have hoped it

could have been nice and wet. The girls walking away, we're getting

very close to lights out and how exciting to have the two men

leading the championship at the front of the grid? They have been

eyeing each other up and we know there are great friends. That

counts for nothing at this stage. I hope that we have a huge British

Grand Prix. And Lewis Hamilton, the slowest he has been in qualifying.

He could not get his tyres to work and that is so rare for Lewis

Hamilton. Put that to one side, look for the electric start, he

will be on fire because the British people... Nigel Mansell said that

they will drag him into the new era and he could be very strong. He has

won this in the past in the wet, he would love to win it in the drive.

In any conditions possible! The championship is so important and he

is falling behind Fernando Alonso. You can see Fernando Alonso

underneath his umbrella, not because of the rain but because of

the Sun, sliding into the car, strapping himself in. Race time

approaching. At this point, the three British drivers must make way

for the one British tennis player. We're heading off to BBC Two. And I

am sure my employers would love me to tell you about making up your

own mind to watch and a tennis or Formula One. But you can see the

whole race and not miss one bit of a tennis match. Even Andy Murray

thinks you should have all -- should avoid the tennis and stick
