:01:01. > :01:06.Spanish Grand Prix, from here at the Circuit de Catalunya on the
:01:06. > :01:09.outskirts of bars. Come into this this race woebgd the table had a
:01:10. > :01:15.familiar feel to it with Sebastian Vettel leading the way. 12 months
:01:15. > :01:22.ago when we were here we had a 34 point lead in the Championship. Now
:01:22. > :01:26.34 pointss the top nine. It is so close. McLaren have been leading
:01:26. > :01:31.the way earlier this the season. After the last race in Bahrain, won
:01:32. > :01:34.by Sebastian Vettel, he and Red Bull took the lead in both the
:01:34. > :01:37.Championship standsings. Lotus a strong start to the season, sitting
:01:37. > :01:41.third going into the Grand Prix. All the action from the race coming
:01:41. > :01:44.your way in a moment but first here is what happened in a dramatic
:01:44. > :01:50.qualifying session on Saturday, that was decided off the track, not
:01:50. > :01:58.on it. Lewis Hamilton described his first ever Spanish pole position as
:01:58. > :02:04.a dream. But it soon turned into a nightmare. ON RADIO: We need to
:02:04. > :02:08.stop the car, turn off. You are on pole at the moment. It meant a trip
:02:08. > :02:14.the stewards who discovered there had not been enough fuel to get
:02:14. > :02:20.back to pit lane. They disqualified Hamilton and he was sent back to
:02:20. > :02:24.the grid. Jenson Button had a bad day as well. The biggest surprise
:02:24. > :02:28.was past. Hamilton's demotion means he's gets hiss first ever pole
:02:28. > :02:32.position in Formula One. The power of the home-grown helped Fernando
:02:32. > :02:37.Alonso none who put his struggling Ferrari into third. Much better tan
:02:37. > :02:40.he or the Italian team hoped for. Felipe Massa could only manage 17th,
:02:40. > :02:43.blaming traffic, although Ferrari have said they are disappointed
:02:44. > :02:47.with his performance. Mark Webber said Red Bull had been caught with
:02:48. > :02:53.their pants down, after he was told that the time he had set was good
:02:53. > :02:57.enough to make it into Q3 but an end to the session meant he was
:02:57. > :03:07.knocked out. Sebastian Vettel did make it into the top ten, but opted
:03:07. > :03:07.
:03:07. > :03:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:03:53. > :03:57.not set a time and save tyres for drive from beautiful Barcelona is
:03:57. > :04:02.buzzing. With anticipation, ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, because
:04:02. > :04:10.the national racing hero Fernando Alonso starts up front and we have
:04:10. > :04:15.a topsy turvy grid. Lights out, away we go! It is Williams versus
:04:16. > :04:18.Ferrari. Pastor Maldonado, Fernando Alonso has a good start. Alonso
:04:18. > :04:23.goes wheel-to-wheel. Kimi Raikkonen is challenging on the outside.
:04:23. > :04:27.Alonso takes the lead, Maldonado is trying to stay with him. He can't,
:04:27. > :04:32.into second place, Raikkonen is third. Grosjean is fourth. No he
:04:32. > :04:37.has been passed by Perez. He has been hit somewhere along the line
:04:37. > :04:43.and Perez in trouble. He has been clipped as he went through turn two.
:04:43. > :04:47.A Fran it is a -- fantastic start. Rosberg has gone past Grosjean.
:04:47. > :04:51.Lewis Hamilton is making places. Jenson Button trying to do likewise.
:04:51. > :04:55.Vettel trying to squeeze down the outside of Kobayashi. We will try
:04:55. > :04:59.and keep an eye on where Hamilton. He is up to 19th. Onboard with Mark
:04:59. > :05:05.Webber. Battling away, hn to the crowd, as Alonso leads this race,
:05:05. > :05:09.the crowd going crazy, Webber trying to go all round Force India.
:05:09. > :05:15.Could he do snit. Didn't manage on that one. Not quite. Massa has made
:05:15. > :05:18.up a lot of ground. Alonso leads Maldonado. They can Raikkonen,
:05:18. > :05:23.Grosjean, Schumacher, Vettel coming through. Kobayashi and then look at
:05:23. > :05:27.mas sa, he has made up some places. Webber on the outside makes it
:05:27. > :05:31.stick this time. So he worked hard for that place. But, Mark Webber
:05:31. > :05:35.has gone up one place and it is showing that will be 13th at the
:05:35. > :05:40.end of this lap. Lock at this start from Fernando Alonso. Beautiful get
:05:40. > :05:44.away and a great first lap for the Maestro, who has already had a race
:05:44. > :05:49.victory this year in the wet in Malaysia, but now the improvements
:05:49. > :05:54.they have made to Ferrari seem to be working. Look at him getting
:05:54. > :05:58.away from Maldonado, Rosberg in a so lild fourth place. Schumacher
:05:58. > :06:04.has a look. Grosjean looks the inside but the positions stay the
:06:04. > :06:08.same. Stkpwhrust the background, we have Sebastian Vettel. He ran very
:06:08. > :06:11.wide on the last corner, going out on to the artificial grass. You can
:06:11. > :06:16.see how much he dropped back from the back of suem Schumacher. He
:06:16. > :06:21.wants to be working to get within that one second window for the end
:06:21. > :06:30.of lap two. There we have Perez, in with that left rear tyre. He has
:06:30. > :06:33.been clipped. We will hope to get a replay. There is Hamilton trying to
:06:33. > :06:37.gain as much ground as possible. You are onboard with the British
:06:37. > :06:42.driver as he tries to make up as much ground as he can in theerly
:06:42. > :06:47.his laps. Senna struggled in qualifying. Hamilton is looking on
:06:47. > :06:51.the inside. No-one overtakes there, Hamilton -- Hamilton does, he is
:06:51. > :06:57.through into 17th place. That was a fantastic move. As we get a replay
:06:57. > :07:00.of the start. The down side of course, for, is that one of the
:07:00. > :07:06.slow Toro Rosso getting passed immediately by Hulkenberg in the
:07:06. > :07:10.Force India. Let us look out for the contact with Perez. He is on
:07:10. > :07:15.the outside running into turn one, where does that clip come? Is it
:07:15. > :07:18.with one of the Lotuses? Onboard with Alonso, his initial get away
:07:18. > :07:23.was better, the actual start they are after was similar, with the
:07:23. > :07:27.Williams car, look at that, they are pegged for straight line speed
:07:27. > :07:32.as they run into the first corner. This is the view that Fernando
:07:32. > :07:36.Alonso had this time last year. End of the first corner, clear track.
:07:36. > :07:40.He did it from fourth last year. This is the view from Jenson
:07:40. > :07:44.Button's car. Michael Schumacher was on the right. Another one who
:07:44. > :07:50.made a good start was Jean-Eric Vergne. He made up a hot of ground.
:07:50. > :07:55.Where was this contact with the Sauber? Difficult to see. I think
:07:55. > :08:00.it came with Grosjean in the Lotus, I think it came at the end of turn
:08:00. > :08:05.two. He was in that battle as he went in turn one. He seems you can
:08:05. > :08:11.see him rejoining in front of Hamilton, great evasive action from
:08:11. > :08:17.Hamilton. Unsurprisingly, we have Sergio Perez who has gone purple.
:08:17. > :08:22.That makes him the fastest man on the track. One second quicker than
:08:22. > :08:30.our current race leaders, so those tyres working fine. Fernando Alonso
:08:30. > :08:35.with a 1.5 second lead. Mark Webber in now, very early stop for him.
:08:35. > :08:40.Which tyres are they putting him on? Looks like they are putting on
:08:40. > :08:44.the harder tyre. You see Vettel is in as well so Red Bull trying to
:08:44. > :08:48.get the drivers in clean air. puttings them on the harder of the
:08:48. > :08:50.two tyres, Perez is still lapping fast on his harder tyres that he
:08:50. > :08:55.went to straight after that puncture, so let us see what they
:08:55. > :09:00.do. Yes, they have put him on the harder tyre and sent him on his way.
:09:00. > :09:05.Sebastian Vettel, in theory should come out ahead of Webber. Crucially
:09:05. > :09:08.they have got that phase of the race away with the softer tier,
:09:08. > :09:12.which is more susceptible to drop off. He has three sets of those
:09:12. > :09:16.hard primes available for him this afternoon. Of course, the pit stops
:09:16. > :09:21.will mix things up a bit. It is going to be Hamilton o or Button
:09:21. > :09:27.coming in first into the pits? It is Button. He is already in and
:09:27. > :09:34.Jensen comes in. To put the harder tyres on. Nos in at the same time.
:09:34. > :09:41.Drest has come in and drest and Button getting quite close together
:09:41. > :09:46.-- drest. No question of un safe. The McLaren has come out behind
:09:46. > :09:53.Sebastian Vettel, so no real change there. Not at this stage. Kobayashi.
:09:53. > :09:58.He has Timo Glock who has not been into the pits yet yet in the
:09:58. > :10:03.Marussia. Behind him is Mark Webber trying to get nast the Red Bull.
:10:03. > :10:07.Timo Glock is racing for himself. Running in 8th place this how Lewis
:10:07. > :10:11.guilt past, it was an error from Hulkenberg and a gifted pass.
:10:11. > :10:14.not often you see someone running wide at turn nine. It is bumty bs -
:10:14. > :10:18.- bumpy, more of a tail wind but it was like Hulkenberg got staired --
:10:18. > :10:24.scared off the track by the sight of Lewis Hamilton's yellow helmet.
:10:24. > :10:30.They say that he used to be like that with Ayrton Senna, the track
:10:30. > :10:34.used to open up to him. ON RADIO: We are P8. You are doing a cracking
:10:34. > :10:38.job mate. Lots of encurrent and in comes our race leader Fernando
:10:38. > :10:43.Alonso, Maldonado stays out there and a good lap from him. 1.30.8.
:10:43. > :10:48.This is a crucial stage. Great pit stop by Ferrari. They have
:10:48. > :10:54.consistently been one of the fastest o fastest teams in the pit.
:10:54. > :10:59.Let us see what the time was. Very God. That is a a fantastic pit stop
:10:59. > :11:05.from Ferrari. That would have been an under three second wheel change.
:11:05. > :11:10.Gross in and out, so a few pit stops taking place right now and
:11:10. > :11:14.Schumacher heads back on to circuit. Gross comes back out. Schumacher is
:11:15. > :11:19.coming back out in front of Sebastian Vettel and the Red Bull.
:11:19. > :11:24.Senna still running round without having stopped instth place. That
:11:24. > :11:28.is the other William, but Maldonado now leads this race and a crucial
:11:28. > :11:34.couple of laps for Pastor Maldonado to see what pace he can achieve on
:11:34. > :11:38.the tyres, or will Alonso having made his pit stop gain the edge.
:11:38. > :11:41.Rosberg, there is brown know Senna and disappointed in qualifying but
:11:42. > :11:45.he has put in strong race performances this year, I wonder if
:11:45. > :11:49.Senna will try and go for a two stop whereas a lot of the others
:11:49. > :11:55.are going for a minimum free stop. I suppose somebody might think a
:11:55. > :11:58.four stop. They used four stops to get through the race hast year but
:11:58. > :12:03.we had different tyre compounds in kwhruest year behind Rosberg, keep
:12:03. > :12:09.an eye on Grosjean in the Lotus. expect Maldonado will come in, he
:12:09. > :12:13.is. Locking at the last lap it was a 30.8. That is thee or four tenths
:12:13. > :12:17.slower than Alonso so he reached the point where ewas getting
:12:17. > :12:22.diminishing returns from his tyres. Very conservative. We don't know if
:12:22. > :12:25.it was a good stop or not. Is he still in the box. No, he is clear.
:12:25. > :12:30.Kimi Raikkonen in from third splie, the top three have all stopped. Let
:12:30. > :12:34.us see where they couple out relative to Alonso, he has gone
:12:34. > :12:43.through? Yes, he has opened out slightly during that phase of the
:12:43. > :12:51.pit stop. I think you are right. Rosberg trying to get past Senna.
:12:51. > :12:53.They are going to touch! Definite flying up in the air. That looked
:12:53. > :12:58.like it might have been coming off the Williams but aggressive stuff
:12:58. > :13:03.from Grosjean. Here we get a replay. Grosjean sees the gap. Senna gives
:13:03. > :13:09.his space, that might be a flick off the front of the Lotus car
:13:09. > :13:15.there, and I think that is part of the end plate of the Lotus, you can
:13:15. > :13:18.see on the front left. The front wing. Has he had contact? I suspect
:13:18. > :13:24.there has be a coming together between Schumacher and Senna. That
:13:24. > :13:29.is down at turn one, well, that is the shake of the head tell us all.
:13:29. > :13:33.That is an expensive steering wheelment I think we will get a
:13:33. > :13:38.replay here. Well, Michael, it looks leek you hit the car in front.
:13:38. > :13:43.Now, what do we think that Bruno was doing in the braking area? It
:13:43. > :13:47.looks like Michael was caught out by how early Bruno was having to
:13:47. > :13:51.brake for turn one. Finally Hamilton into the pits so he has
:13:51. > :13:56.gone a fantastic job. He runs over the front wheel gun. The wheel gun
:13:56. > :14:01.was still there when he tried to pull away, so, they have made
:14:01. > :14:05.changes for the pit stop, but if the green light came on which I
:14:05. > :14:11.presume it did, and he went, it looks like a wheel gun has been
:14:11. > :14:16.left. We need to get a replay of that. That would have cost him time.
:14:16. > :14:20.He has Colback on the hard tyre, so going on to that new set of primes.
:14:20. > :14:24.That hasn't helped him at all. The stop wasn't as slow as it might
:14:24. > :14:28.have been. Take another look David. Is that front wheel that bounced or
:14:28. > :14:32.the rear wheel. Different to see from this side. It's the rear I
:14:32. > :14:36.think. He has caught the rear wheel. They haven't been able to get the
:14:36. > :14:41.wheel out of the way in time. RADIO: Did I hit something in the
:14:41. > :14:43.pit lane. We think you hit one of the other tyres. Everything is OK.
:14:43. > :14:50.Carry on. I don't think that much of a question as a statement,
:14:50. > :14:54.because that wasn't a normal pull away, there is Bruno Senna, passing
:14:54. > :14:58.on his regards to his team. That doesn't look like a man who is
:14:58. > :15:02.feeling that guilty by that. Here we go, is this a replay of the
:15:02. > :15:06.incident? Michael Schumacher would have been in the DRS zone. Would
:15:06. > :15:12.have been going up to 18 kilometres and hour different. It doesn't look
:15:12. > :15:15.like he is going for the pass at this stage. I hate to be up on
:15:15. > :15:20.Michael because it appears I ambiter and twisted he used to beat
:15:20. > :15:24.me all the time. What did Bruno do wrong there? I don't know. He got
:15:24. > :15:28.on the brakes for the corner. I don't know what else he could have
:15:28. > :15:31.done. Michael might say he braked too early but as the guy behind you
:15:31. > :15:35.have to allow for that. I. remember an incident with Fernando
:15:35. > :15:41.Alonso when I was at McLaren I had to avoid running into the back of
:15:41. > :15:46.him. In the data it showed he braked 30 metres earlier than the
:15:46. > :15:50.lap. The stewards said it's the right of the car in front, as we
:15:50. > :15:54.see. That is Paul di Resta passing Mark Webber. What is going on here.
:15:54. > :15:58.Drest on the option tyre, so the faster of the two. Does Mark Webber
:15:58. > :16:02.have an issue on the primes? He is running wide. He has lost another
:16:02. > :16:07.place to the Toro Rosso, of Jeffrey Bernard, and then another place to
:16:07. > :16:17.Felipe Massa. Look who is joining in on this. It is Hamilton joining
:16:17. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:26.in. He must have a problem. He is In all the excitement, did I finish
:16:26. > :16:36.my sentence? The stewards told me that time it is the right of the
:16:36. > :16:37.
:16:37. > :16:47.car in front to choose where it brakes. They are looking at the
:16:47. > :16:55.
:16:55. > :17:00.nose of sections. Is it winger pit lane here, they have a new nose
:17:00. > :17:06.available. Something has gone wrong with that front wing assembly. We
:17:07. > :17:12.can't see anything of fears. This will put him well out of the points
:17:12. > :17:16.-- anything obvious. They were saying it was down on the front
:17:16. > :17:19.load, Gary, how do they know that? The difference between the rear and
:17:19. > :17:24.the front suspension, they can see when something dramatic has
:17:24. > :17:31.happened. It is just to make sure the forces are there. They are
:17:31. > :17:36.putting a new front of wing on. But. Will be difficult from here. Let's
:17:36. > :17:41.hear from Michael Schumacher. The very disappointing, tell us
:17:41. > :17:47.what happened. I just took a minute to watch the video replay and if
:17:47. > :17:51.you look at the shot, the overhead shot, you can see that he moves
:17:51. > :17:58.right to defend his inside position of but then in the breaking phase,
:17:58. > :18:08.he moves back left. I tried to then moved to the inside again but it is
:18:08. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:18.Jenson Button will be in. Those sorts of speed, the vibration just
:18:18. > :18:22.means you can't actually see, but he has a clean run in and the Red
:18:22. > :18:28.Bull mechanics are holding back their hoses. The softer tyre going
:18:28. > :18:38.on. They send him on his way. little slow getting the rear axle
:18:38. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:47.Dan. Ashdown. 21 seconds, it will cost them a little bit of time.
:18:47. > :18:53.Kovalainen, Hulkenberg and Webber running behind him. Kovalainen, he
:18:54. > :19:01.has only done one stop. This is a replay of Fernando and none so.
:19:01. > :19:06.happy. It was like a stately wave. -- Fernando Alonso. But it will
:19:06. > :19:11.have cost him time. He knows that in the pit stop phase, every tenth
:19:11. > :19:20.of a second counts. The Ferrari boys getting ready. We saw
:19:20. > :19:24.Karthikeyan's hedge are -- how HRT stop at the end of the pit lane.
:19:24. > :19:31.Were well Fernando Alonso come out in terms of Maldonado? -- Where
:19:31. > :19:34.will. That is Maldonado there, Fernando Alonso last time in the
:19:34. > :19:38.pit stop and Maldonado has come through. That barely stop was
:19:38. > :19:45.crucial by the Williams team and the fastest lap of the race so far
:19:45. > :19:49.by Maldonado -- that barely stop. It puts him well in the lead.
:19:49. > :19:55.great effort by Williams and Maldonado, who now leads the race.
:19:55. > :19:58.Gary, I just want your thoughts on strategies. We have seen Alonso and
:19:58. > :20:08.Maldonado coming in at the same time and Raikkonen is in, is that
:20:08. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:16.right? Yes, Grosjean has been in and Raikkonen is now in. It has
:20:16. > :20:21.given him that little edge that he has. Alonso pitted one stop earlier
:20:21. > :20:26.and lost a lot of time but I think it was a lap too late, he has paid
:20:26. > :20:30.the price because he has Lee Williams in front of him now.
:20:30. > :20:40.I think the way they gave to the Marussia, that would have cost them
:20:40. > :20:40.
:20:40. > :20:45.time. -- the wave. We can see Hamilton. And Felipe Massa, he has
:20:45. > :20:49.been struggling to get by the Ferrari. I think he might regret
:20:49. > :20:54.the gear selection this afternoon. He couldn't possibly know he was
:20:54. > :20:59.going to be put to the back of the grid and you can see the effect of
:20:59. > :21:06.losing downforce as Hamilton runs extremely wide in turn three. Then
:21:06. > :21:11.much tighter and seems to struggle a bit. A drive-through penalty for
:21:11. > :21:15.Sebastian Vettel, failing to slow for yellow flags. And Sebastian
:21:15. > :21:20.Vettel, the championship leader, not having a good race in Spain
:21:20. > :21:29.this weekend. Felipe Massa has all wrote -- also got a drive-through
:21:29. > :21:33.for failing to slow and that will help Hamilton. It is all change. He
:21:34. > :21:38.has got to drive through, Felipe Massa has got to drive through and
:21:38. > :21:42.this will release Hamilton. We had a changing complexion courtesy of
:21:42. > :21:48.some mistakes on a yellow. If the yellow flags are red, they have got
:21:48. > :21:51.to show they have backed off a bit. -- are out. The drivers will say
:21:51. > :21:55.that when you have different phases of the Grand Prix, you might have
:21:55. > :22:01.just pitted or have fresh tyres, you can go one or two seconds
:22:01. > :22:09.quicker. That is Felipe Massa going to serve his time, which releases
:22:09. > :22:14.Hamilton into some clean air. Let's just look at the Gaff he has, he
:22:14. > :22:24.his 5.5 seconds behind Grosjean -- let's have a look at the gap he has,
:22:24. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:30.must have been from the incident between Michael Schumacher and
:22:30. > :22:34.Bruno Senna. Well, we are just looking at a replay of that and we
:22:34. > :22:39.had an earlier incident between Bruno Senna and Michael Schumacher.
:22:39. > :22:44.Let's hear from Bruno Senna. Michael has just said it was your
:22:44. > :22:49.fault, what you say to that? Obviously, he is not going to say
:22:49. > :22:55.it is his own fault but at the end of the day, he had much newer tyres
:22:55. > :23:00.than me, I was on old rubber, so the point at which we would have
:23:00. > :23:05.brake were different. I could see crosier and late and hitting me in
:23:05. > :23:10.turn want so I didn't want Michael to be the same -- Grosjean was late.
:23:10. > :23:14.He probably tried to cross and hit me, so what can you do?
:23:14. > :23:18.Michael Schumacher is getting a bit familiar with sitting on the
:23:18. > :23:22.sidelines this year, it has happened quite a few times.
:23:22. > :23:27.Meanwhile, back with the battle. Nico Rosberg has done a good job of
:23:27. > :23:33.managing this race and putting Jenson Button under pressure with
:23:33. > :23:37.Kobayashi, and Kobayashi finds the inside line. Jenson wisely, once he
:23:37. > :23:42.realises that Kobayashi, who has a reputation as a man who knows how
:23:42. > :23:46.to pass, I think Jenson was just caught out a little bit with the
:23:46. > :23:51.closing speed of the Sauber and that is going to make his afternoon
:23:51. > :23:57.and little more tricky. Jenson moves over and Kobayashi says thank
:23:57. > :24:00.you very much, or something to that affect in Japanese. A lovely move
:24:00. > :24:10.by Kobayashi. He timed it to perfection and there was nothing
:24:10. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:18.more stop this afternoon? The McLaren guys are in the pit lane,
:24:18. > :24:21.he is in. He will have to go 30 laps if he was to stop now and try
:24:22. > :24:27.and go through to the end of the race and that seems unlikely. They
:24:27. > :24:32.are putting the harder tyre arm. They had to do that, there was just
:24:32. > :24:35.no way. The teams are telling us that once these tyres and lose
:24:36. > :24:45.their performance, then it is gone and it has gone in Barcelona in a
:24:46. > :24:47.
:24:47. > :24:52.big way. Vettel are through the last phase of the lap, right behind
:24:52. > :25:02.Jenson Button. Jenson Button is on the option tyres, Sebastian Vettel
:25:02. > :25:02.
:25:02. > :25:10.is on the prime, the more durable. Definitely Sebastian Vettel is
:25:10. > :25:14.closing, using the DRS and de KERS. He sweeps around Jenson Button. He
:25:14. > :25:19.makes it look very easy in what is a demanding place to overtake and
:25:19. > :25:23.he takes seventh place from Jenson Button. I can imagine Jenson will
:25:23. > :25:27.get a radio message anytime soon complaining about the drop-off of
:25:27. > :25:32.those options and he will be looking for and an earlier pit stop.
:25:32. > :25:38.In the end, a fairly straightforward pass. Jenson and
:25:38. > :25:44.clearly driving a little bit wounded on these tyres -- Jenson.
:25:44. > :25:50.He has come in, put best out of their primes on, the harder tyre. -
:25:50. > :25:55.- asset of. Once he saw Sebastian passing, there was nothing more he
:25:55. > :26:02.could do on those tyres. He comes out behind Felipe Massa in around
:26:02. > :26:10.15 door 16th. Now we have a toss-up between the two Toro Rossos. Lewis
:26:10. > :26:14.Hamilton is trying to split them. And Jean-Eric Vergne going
:26:14. > :26:19.defensive but Lewis Hamilton trying to go around the outside. But he
:26:19. > :26:27.has to work for it. Hamilton gets past the two team-mates, who might
:26:27. > :26:33.now at try and swap positions. Brave stuff from Lewis Hamilton,
:26:33. > :26:40.driving around the outside of a turn-up for, on to the marbles. --
:26:40. > :26:49.of turn four. This is the replay of the Sauber pit stop. That is not
:26:49. > :26:56.synchronised diving. And the thumbs up, I am all right. Did the we'll
:26:56. > :27:02.not go on correctly? -- but the wheel. Jenson is close enough to
:27:02. > :27:08.use the KERS. He is going for it, can he make the move into the first
:27:08. > :27:12.corner? He is late on the brakes and yes, he gets through relatively
:27:12. > :27:17.easily past Felipe Massa. Nico Rosberg has just gone into the pits
:27:17. > :27:24.and Mark Webber as well, so we are just seeing a bit more pit lane
:27:24. > :27:29.action. And Maldonado, a vital stop Paul Williams. It is slow. Away
:27:29. > :27:33.goes Maldonado, but it has definitely cost them a couple of
:27:33. > :27:38.seconds and Fernando Alonso had been catching. He comes out behind
:27:38. > :27:42.a Lotus that is yet to stop. This is real drama, it means that when
:27:42. > :27:48.the Fernando Alonso next makes his stop, they could be a real change.
:27:48. > :27:55.This is the move that Jenson Button made. He goes to the outsider and
:27:55. > :27:59.exploits the clean track. And the superior grip of those new tyres to
:27:59. > :28:01.go around in two turn one. It looked like it would be nip and
:28:01. > :28:09.tuck but it was fairly straightforward -- straightforward
:28:09. > :28:14.in the end. Are they changing the nose on that car? They are, I think.
:28:14. > :28:17.And it is a little slow coming off, unlike when Mark Webber did it.
:28:17. > :28:25.would be interesting if Gary could get some information with what is
:28:25. > :28:31.going on with the noses of the Red Bulls. Let's see a Fernando Alonso
:28:31. > :28:36.comes in. He does indeed. In for his final stop. You can see the man
:28:36. > :28:44.with the slot gap clearer, just cleaning out any rubber from this
:28:44. > :28:54.lot gap of the front wing. It must be a much bigger problem on the
:28:54. > :28:56.
:28:56. > :29:01.perfectly placed to win this Grand Prix. A couple of more laps, will
:29:01. > :29:06.that be the determining factor? TEAM RADIO: We need to make it to
:29:06. > :29:10.the end on these tyres. Raikkonen makes his way in for what should be
:29:10. > :29:15.his last stop this afternoon. Raikkonen into the pits, he has
:29:15. > :29:19.been passed by the other two already and he has to hope their
:29:19. > :29:24.tyres go off big time, because he will be a long way behind them when
:29:24. > :29:34.he comes out of the pit. Away he goes, that looks clean and
:29:34. > :29:37.
:29:37. > :29:45.comfortable. Gary,... Hang on. Before you go to Gary, Alonso's
:29:45. > :29:50.last lap 24 Dwyfor, Maldonado 28. Gary, your thoughts on this final
:29:50. > :29:57.section. The last five laps are going to be an absolute nightmare
:29:57. > :30:04.for somebody who has got to make it without a stop. Grosjean has just
:30:04. > :30:09.stopped, and even later stop than his team-mate. -- UN. Maldonado is
:30:09. > :30:13.the race leader. Behind him, Fernando Alonso with a Raikkonen
:30:13. > :30:18.third. Grosjean is fourth, he has been into the pits but I think he
:30:18. > :30:23.has come out still in fourth place. Lewis Hamilton is currently running
:30:23. > :30:31.in seventh place and Jenson Button is in aid. Sebastian Vettel is in
:30:31. > :30:38.ninth and Hulkenberg rounds out the top 10 -- Jenson Button is in a. --
:30:38. > :30:44.eighth position. All of the car still running in this race. We ride
:30:44. > :30:50.on board with Sebastian Vettel. He is in ninth. Hulkenberg quite a
:30:50. > :30:54.long way behind. Vettel can focus on passing Jenson Button and he get
:30:54. > :31:04.past Jenson Button in a fairly straightforward way, into turn at
:31:04. > :31:09.
:31:09. > :31:13.10. It is Red Bull ahead of the Hamilton. We can expect that
:31:13. > :31:20.excitement late in the Grand Prix as we see a bit of oversteer as
:31:20. > :31:23.they run into the last section of the lap. We know Rosberg and that
:31:23. > :31:27.Mercedes's great drive last corner, so he is under pressure from
:31:27. > :31:31.Kobayashi, but Kobayashi is suffering from oversteer at low
:31:31. > :31:35.speed. Let us remind you what has been going on in this Grand Prix.
:31:35. > :31:39.Maldonado and Alonso went wheel-to- wheel into the first corner but it
:31:39. > :31:45.was Alonso that led the initial stages of the Grand Prix. Kimi
:31:45. > :31:49.Raikkonen and Grosjean were very much part of it. We saw an incident
:31:49. > :31:54.involving Bruno Senna and Schumacher Schumacher crashed into
:31:54. > :31:58.the back of the William, that took both out. We saw Charles Pic go out.
:31:58. > :32:03.Let us watch Kobayashi. Down the signed of Rosberg. They touch.
:32:03. > :32:09.Rosberg looked up. Can't make the move. He doesn't quite repeat the
:32:09. > :32:12.move we saw him make on Jenson Button. He is a brave boy. Any
:32:12. > :32:17.opportunity he gorse it. Remarkably, he gets away with just a little
:32:17. > :32:21.kiss here, a little touch there, you know, nothing that would be
:32:21. > :32:26.sort of needed for the stewards to look seriously at it. Another one,
:32:26. > :32:29.he has done it. Down the inside. Rosberg powerless on the brake,
:32:29. > :32:36.locks up the front wheel and Kobayashi now running in fifth
:32:36. > :32:40.place, too far behind to worry Grosjean, but a good result for
:32:40. > :32:46.these guys if they can hang in in the closing stages of the Grand
:32:46. > :32:52.Prix. Thvingsfrpblgts is going to be exciting -- this is going to be
:32:52. > :32:58.exciting in the closing laps. It looks faz the dream can come true.
:32:58. > :33:05.Maldonado is opening up the gap slightly, to flown flown, and he is
:33:05. > :33:10.closing laps -- Fernando Alonso. is. Let us see if he can make that
:33:10. > :33:13.DRS system work. Hamilton has to go dephenomenon sieve. He goes round
:33:13. > :33:18.the outsigh, so Vettel takes the place, nothing Hamilton could do
:33:18. > :33:22.about that in the end. Two greats going wheel-to-wheel down the
:33:22. > :33:26.straight and Barcelona, Mansell versus Senna in 1991, of course
:33:26. > :33:32.Mansell went on to win that Grand Prix, neither of these guys are
:33:32. > :33:35.going to win this one I think. The gap is down 4.4 between Alonso and
:33:35. > :33:39.Kimi with two laps to go. Can Kimi Raikkonen snatch second place? He
:33:39. > :33:43.finished in second last time in Bahrain, he has an opportunity here,
:33:43. > :33:47.but can he do it? What about Maldonado? He is still in front, he
:33:47. > :33:53.is locking so good for his first ever victory. Just remarkable
:33:53. > :33:58.composure and here comes Vettel on Rosberg. He takes sixth place from
:33:59. > :34:03.Rosberg. It's a late charge. That was up into turn nine, again,
:34:03. > :34:10.Sebastian and we have seen him overtaking in places you don't
:34:10. > :34:14.normally overtake on this track. Down in the Williams pit everybody
:34:14. > :34:18.crossing everything, hoping that Maldonado can stay up front and
:34:18. > :34:22.become the first ever Venezuelan to win a Grand Prix. We foe from
:34:22. > :34:26.Australia that it is not over until he has got it to the end of the lap.
:34:26. > :34:31.He crashed out on the last lap of the Australian Grand Prix. He is in
:34:31. > :34:34.a different comfort zone this time. He is leading rather than chancing
:34:35. > :34:40.the Ferrari of Alonso and Hulkenberg should not pose any
:34:40. > :34:45.problem as they run down into turn ten, only six corners to go. What a
:34:45. > :34:49.result this is looking to be. The Williams team taking the gamble on
:34:49. > :34:53.bringing him in earlier for that final set of tyres. We thought they
:34:53. > :34:58.pulled him in too early. Surely they couldn't get the tyres to last
:34:58. > :35:04.that long, but he has, he has looked after them. He has fended
:35:04. > :35:09.off Fernando Alonso, and now he is coming in to the closing sectors of
:35:09. > :35:14.the race, Raikkonen is chasing down after Fernando Alonso, but Pastor
:35:14. > :35:17.Maldonado is coming through the final turn, to make history. Past
:35:17. > :35:21.wins in Spain, the first ever Venezuelan to do that, she the
:35:21. > :35:27.fifth driver in the fifth car to do it this year what a start to the
:35:27. > :35:31.season, Alonso is second, Raikkonen is third, just 0.6 of a second
:35:31. > :35:37.behind. We expect to see Romain Grosjean come through, it is the
:35:37. > :35:42.first Williams victory since Brazil 2004, Sir Frank here to celebrate
:35:42. > :35:46.the moment. What an achievement from past. It is like a fairy Stowe
:35:46. > :35:50.story. The best Hollywood script crow can imagine. Frank has his
:35:50. > :35:55.entire family here this weekend. As crow can see the Grand Prix is
:35:55. > :36:00.still going on, Lewis Hamilton is battling here. Rosberg is in front.
:36:00. > :36:04.Is Hamilton going to have a go down the inside to turn ten? Rosberg has
:36:04. > :36:07.difficulty on the brakes here. He has to defend. Remember what
:36:07. > :36:10.happened in Bahrain when he moved so much it caused controversy. Now
:36:10. > :36:13.he is going to have to do everything to defend from Lewis
:36:13. > :36:18.Hamilton in the last couple of corner, but is there another chance,
:36:18. > :36:26.the Mercedes struggling for grip. Hamilton trying to get the traction
:36:26. > :36:31.here. Don't be surprised if Lewis has a sneaky drop. That will affect
:36:31. > :36:38.his exit from the corner. I think it is all over, great driver from
:36:38. > :36:42.Lewis Hamilton from 24th on the grid. Rosberg finishes 7th.
:36:42. > :36:50.Hamilton fibbishs eighth from the back of the field. Jenson Button
:36:50. > :37:00.will finish in ninth. Past takes victory. ON RADIO: Good job. Very
:37:00. > :37:03.
:37:03. > :37:07.good drive.. Very good job guys. Very good job. For Pastor Maldonado
:37:07. > :37:12.then, his first ever opportunity in Formula One to do this. He might
:37:12. > :37:17.have done nit GP2 but there is nothing quite like this. -- done it
:37:17. > :37:21.in. He hung on for his first win in formula one, not only that, the
:37:21. > :37:26.first win for a Venezuelan driver in F1. Congratulations Pastor
:37:26. > :37:30.Maldonado, and a tasty 25 points in the back pocket for him. Fernando
:37:30. > :37:35.Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen pushing him hard for the win but nay finish
:37:35. > :37:41.second and third with strong drives from Grosjean and Kobayashi and
:37:41. > :37:46.Lewis Hamilton started 24th and finished eighth. This is what it
:37:47. > :37:52.neerns the drivers championship. We have Sebastian and Fernando tied at
:37:52. > :37:57.the front. Lewis Hamilton is third. And those points for past moves him
:37:57. > :38:03.up to ninth place. 29 point for a man who scored just one last year.
:38:03. > :38:07.It means Red Bull still lead in the Championship. The gap is tight to
:38:07. > :38:12.McLaren. Lotus sit third and it will feel good for Williams. Six
:38:12. > :38:18.vingsths place and 43 point, they are tied with Mercedes. Let us hear
:38:18. > :38:24.from the men at the centre of the drama here in Spain. I feel so
:38:24. > :38:30.happy, you know, we did a wonderful job this weekend. From the
:38:30. > :38:36.qualifying, the car looks pretty strong today, very consistent, we
:38:36. > :38:42.did a great strategy, quite good. At the same time we were
:38:42. > :38:47.controlling the gap with Alonso, and eeverything was under control,
:38:47. > :38:52.think today. You had a great end lap, a great pit stop and the next
:38:52. > :38:59.one was a heart stopping moment, were you getting nervous? I was
:39:00. > :39:04.quite worried to lose the place, but it was all OK, it didn't affect
:39:04. > :39:10.our position. Otherwise the team, the team did great job, you know,
:39:10. > :39:15.and I feel really happy today for them as well, for my family, for my
:39:15. > :39:20.country, you know, it is a great moment for the team. The start was
:39:20. > :39:24.good, then we were leading the race t second stop Williams stopped a
:39:24. > :39:27.bit early. We had to cover, we had Marussia in front of us so we lost
:39:27. > :39:31.a bit of time there so we decided to go a bit longer and try to
:39:31. > :39:36.attack at the end of the race. We did attack at the end but it was
:39:36. > :39:42.not enough and pass tr was very quick. For us, and we, the position
:39:42. > :39:47.we finished the race, with Red Bull McLaren a bit behind, of the normal
:39:47. > :39:55.position, second place, is like, like a win for us in terms of
:39:55. > :40:03.points. Half way through I was pretty OK with it, suddenly then we
:40:03. > :40:07.found the speed, and it was got too close to be happy any more. So we
:40:07. > :40:13.needed some laps but that seems to be our problem, we have to get the
:40:13. > :40:18.things exactly right and we can win, but for sure the car has to speed.
:40:18. > :40:22.Everybody makes the wrong choice or maybe not. The fact is we were not
:40:22. > :40:26.fast enough. Proud of myself and the team. We did a good job. To
:40:26. > :40:30.come from all the way back there, we cannot complain for that, and I
:40:30. > :40:34.had a great race it was really fantastic for me to be battling,
:40:34. > :40:40.trying to manage the tyres at the same time. It was tough. Someone
:40:40. > :40:43.told me I was the only one that did a two stop, which considering
:40:43. > :40:49.everyone's talking about how aggressive my driving style is and
:40:49. > :40:54.how much better my team-mate is on tyres than me, and I think today it
:40:54. > :40:58.was a good demonstration that are are wrong. I am normally good at
:40:58. > :41:04.looking after tyres and have a good consistency. But I can't do that at
:41:04. > :41:09.the moment. I don't know why, I am struggling with the car. And you
:41:09. > :41:13.know, it is not an overnight fix which is worrying. We don't foe why,
:41:13. > :41:18.it is not working here, the first few races were great in terms of
:41:18. > :41:24.race place and qualifying, but Bahrain was Ricky, and here is also
:41:24. > :41:28.very tricky, the balance is, you know, it is not just one end, I
:41:28. > :41:31.can't find grip and I can't use it. Disappointing day. What a wonderful
:41:31. > :41:35.afternoon in the history of the Williams Formula One team. This
:41:35. > :41:39.isn't how any of us wanted the day to end with fire engines in the pit
:41:39. > :41:42.lane. After the race was over the Williams team and drivers
:41:42. > :41:47.congregated with Frank was preparing to give evidence a pep
:41:47. > :41:50.talk and thank them, this happened, a fire broke out in the garage,
:41:50. > :41:53.very quickly they evacuated. We were live on the red Button
:41:53. > :41:56.programme and quickly it became clear this was a serious fire.
:41:56. > :41:59.was indeed. There was a lot of highly flammable materials in the
:41:59. > :42:03.garage. You can see the teams here mucking in to support each other
:42:03. > :42:07.and try and help. That is a mechanic from Force India that was
:42:07. > :42:12.on one side there. Troes getting involved and this is the scenes
:42:12. > :42:15.where extra fire ex tinge we ares were able to get in. They were able
:42:15. > :42:20.to contain it as quickly as possible. That was a shocking way
:42:20. > :42:26.for the team to finish the weekend. There is Bruno Senna, we saw them
:42:26. > :42:30.removing the fuel. The fact we have Caterham and Force India and
:42:30. > :42:33.Williams personnel injured, we hope not badly. The fact they race each
:42:33. > :42:37.other all weekend, when they need to come together and work together
:42:37. > :42:41.they can do This is a largely British paddock. Most of the
:42:42. > :42:45.engineers have worked for one or two teams so it's a travelling
:42:45. > :42:49.circus you can imagine 20 Grand Prixs they get used to be at the
:42:49. > :42:53.airport, at the track, so it doesn't surprise me that everybody
:42:53. > :42:58.mucked in. David, thank you for your company this weekend. We are
:42:58. > :43:06.back in a couple of weeks time. We will be live with the Monaco Grand
