The Brazilian Grand Prix

:01:55. > :02:03.bit sismt the last time you'll do -- a little bit. It is the last time

:02:04. > :02:09.you'll do this as an F 1 driver. It is not a sad moment - it is a proud

:02:10. > :02:11.moment. It is just emotions. You have to accept that you've got to be

:02:12. > :02:35.able to let go. Good luck! Going to miss you!

:02:36. > :02:41.The messages I've had. It has been completely overwhelming. I cannot

:02:42. > :02:46.believe the amount of people who have enjoyed me race. Welcome to the

:02:47. > :02:54.final day of Interlagos. See how we go. Is it possible to win? Of

:02:55. > :03:03.course! You don't want to test that - oh, really he's lost it, and he's

:03:04. > :03:07.not good enough... Over one lap, I think that probably

:03:08. > :03:14.I lost a little bit of speed. That is going to happen. I am not as fast

:03:15. > :03:20.as I was when I was 25. I think I raced hard and fair.

:03:21. > :03:30.Generally didn't like to give up my positions easy.

:03:31. > :03:35.Pretty consistent in terms of no real weaknesses or strengths - just

:03:36. > :03:41.generally pretty solid as a top-flight Formula One driver. Yeah,

:03:42. > :03:51.I'm very proud. I think I have been dealt a good hand. A lot of races,

:03:52. > :03:56.some big highlights, obviously. I remember where I came from. I never

:03:57. > :04:00.envisaged I would have the career I had.

:04:01. > :04:06.Yes, it is Mark's last day. We must say many thanks to him for allowing

:04:07. > :04:10.us to be part of his final journey to work. Welcome to Brazil. It is

:04:11. > :04:16.the final countdown - the last race of the year. Eddie and David is

:04:17. > :04:22.here. He has made his mark, hasn't he? He has. He is the darling of

:04:23. > :04:26.this crowd. He is care-free. The fact he gave us such access to

:04:27. > :04:32.himself, not just today, but for his career. He has won great races. I

:04:33. > :04:36.loved what he did at Monaco. He has won at Silverstone. We will all miss

:04:37. > :04:42.him. He said it is knowing when to leave. You have been there - you

:04:43. > :04:45.must know how he is feeling today? I felt more emotional watching his

:04:46. > :04:51.final race than I was for my own final race. I was so focussed on the

:04:52. > :04:56.events of the set-up of your car and working as a team. He's had a great

:04:57. > :04:59.career. He's been a professional. He understood how to get the best out

:05:00. > :05:04.of the team and himself. He understood the media and marketing

:05:05. > :05:08.were, although a noise at times, were an important part of the

:05:09. > :05:11.business of Formula One. He has given great access and spoken

:05:12. > :05:19.frankly. He will be sadly iss manied by the paddock. -- missed by the

:05:20. > :05:24.paddocks. The highs and lows of his career coming up for you later on.

:05:25. > :05:30.You guys have had some great moments here at this wonderful track,

:05:31. > :05:38.Interlagos. You had a great win in 2001, David. It is a wonderful

:05:39. > :05:42.track. The drivers are challenged. Anticlockwise. You can sea changing

:05:43. > :05:47.conditions there. It was a great feeling to do it here in Brazil.

:05:48. > :05:51.Especially when you have the likes of Michael Schumacher, who was good

:05:52. > :05:55.in wet conditions and performed at the peak of my abilities at that

:05:56. > :05:59.time. It has seen a lot of incidents as well. This was Mark Webber

:06:00. > :06:03.crashing out. We will see Fernando Alonso, I believe, caught the

:06:04. > :06:07.back-end of that accident in the Renault and incredibly lucky as he

:06:08. > :06:12.hit the barrier there. This was a big day for you? I didn't mind all

:06:13. > :06:17.the crashing, we were h on flames here. We went on to win the race.

:06:18. > :06:22.They gave it initially to McLaren. We rectified that and we got the

:06:23. > :06:34.win. It was great there. It is a cool place to win a Grand Prix. It

:06:35. > :06:39.has a lot of passion. 2008 - it may not have been the best race. Let's

:06:40. > :06:44.relive the agony. You won't have to watch it for long! For anyone

:06:45. > :06:49.thinking get a cup of tea, don't. It would only be two corners before it

:06:50. > :06:54.ended. A wet race here. We see a lot of wet weather this time of year in

:06:55. > :06:59.Brazil. I got clipped by Rosberg, spunning around and collected --

:07:00. > :07:04.spun around and collected by his team-mate. DC - we didn't see that

:07:05. > :07:10.clipping moment. This is from inside my helmet. Watch this! That is the

:07:11. > :07:15.clipping... Is that a clipping? And the impact follows it. I know you

:07:16. > :07:20.are trying to figure out I am making excuses. He is waving goodbye to the

:07:21. > :07:22.crowd and goodbye to the Formula One career. The fans here in Brazil

:07:23. > :07:55.absolutely love their motor sport. Fans are having a great time. Here

:07:56. > :08:00.is a picture you don't see too often - all of the drivers - that is the

:08:01. > :08:03.class of 2013. Formula One having their picture taken, just a few

:08:04. > :08:08.moments ago. And sitting really in the middle of that shot, we can see

:08:09. > :08:15.Felipe Massa and of course it is his last race for Ferrari.

:08:16. > :08:19.So, lots of reasons to watch the race today. All the drivers there

:08:20. > :08:23.and going into the standings it looks a little bit like this.

:08:24. > :08:24.Sebastian Vettel is of course the world champion and Fernando Alonso

:08:25. > :08:36.is second. No Kimi here ux remember. He is re

:08:37. > :08:41.recovering from a successful back operation. Mercedes and Ferrari have

:08:42. > :08:47.the gloves off for second. Lotus are hanging in there too. Further down

:08:48. > :08:53.the table, Marussia and Caterham are at loggerheads for tenth position.

:08:54. > :08:57.Well, where are we? Here we are! Yesterday's qualifying proved to be

:08:58. > :09:02.a torrid affair as Mother Nature proved she could be fairly lethal.

:09:03. > :09:07.Qualifying got under way in heavy drizzle. By the end, it turned into

:09:08. > :09:12.a downpour. The usual suspects went out in queue one.

:09:13. > :09:17.As the rain fell harder, drivers who has not set a good time early on

:09:18. > :09:24.were caught out as the session finished under a yellow flag. Sergio

:09:25. > :09:30.Perez's McLaren touched the slippery line. He qualified 14th. Higher than

:09:31. > :09:34.Jenson Button, who could only manage 15th. 47 minutes after the cars were

:09:35. > :09:38.on track, the action resumed for the top-ten shootout. The Ferrari of

:09:39. > :09:42.Fernando Alonso seemed to enjoy the tricky conditions and he equalled

:09:43. > :09:50.his best qualifying position with third. Mercedes had been quick all

:09:51. > :09:54.weekend. Hamilton was fastest on the intermediates. Nico Rosberg was

:09:55. > :09:58.second. Six-tenths from pole. That left it to Sebastian Vettel to claim

:09:59. > :10:04.his ninth pole position of the season. Come rain, or shine, he is

:10:05. > :10:10.once again the man to beat. So Vettel is the man with the clear

:10:11. > :10:16.view, taking his 4th position. Rosberg is over his shoulder. Alonso

:10:17. > :10:19.will look for a trademark break away. Hamilton is fifth. Romain

:10:20. > :10:30.Grosjean has to settle for sixth. Jean-Eric Vergne is eighth. Then

:10:31. > :10:37.comes Massa. Hulkenberg rounds out the top ten.

:10:38. > :10:49.Perez takes a five-place penalty, after a gearbox change. Everyone

:10:50. > :10:54.moves up one place. Button is 13th. Pic is the fastest of the young

:10:55. > :10:58.teams. Perez emerges in 19th. Max Chilton, the only driver to finish

:10:59. > :11:06.every race this season rounds out the grid. Well it was a moment

:11:07. > :11:11.mental affair yesterday. As you -- monumental affair yesterday. You

:11:12. > :11:15.never know about the rain here. The experts are saying lap 22. I don't

:11:16. > :11:21.know how they can be so precise. There are some weather patterns

:11:22. > :11:26.around. They will start on their slick tyres. Let's wander down the

:11:27. > :11:31.pit line. There's been no dry running. While going to the grid

:11:32. > :11:34.they will put in as many laps as they can to get that balance right.

:11:35. > :11:38.It is a short lap. They have the opportunity to do that. They will be

:11:39. > :11:43.able to bang on both sets of the tyres if they want about get a feel.

:11:44. > :11:48.They will be able to tell the balance difference. When they make

:11:49. > :11:55.the pit stop they need to know what off-set to p put on the front wing.

:11:56. > :12:01.It is about this day in history - how the car balance changes.

:12:02. > :12:06.Qualifying was vasating. We had Vergne up there. Alonso - why have

:12:07. > :12:13.you stopped? He does that randomly. I thought you were going to ask me

:12:14. > :12:18.something. Should people be afraid of that - he's looking good? I think

:12:19. > :12:25.Jean-Eric Vergne is a real class act. He's been on my radar screen

:12:26. > :12:29.for some time. It was touch and go between him and Ricciardo. He didn't

:12:30. > :12:35.get the nod there. I rate him hugely. He is a fabulous talent. He

:12:36. > :12:39.is a cool guy, the way he goes about his business. Anything can happen.

:12:40. > :12:42.We make the point, if it does rain halfway through this race, that is

:12:43. > :12:47.when the excitement will happen and we will get the fireworks. He knew I

:12:48. > :12:52.would disagree with him. I think Daniel Ricciardo has absolutely been

:12:53. > :12:58.on top of Vergne on qualifying. I don't think he was close at all. He

:12:59. > :13:07.is a great guy. I don't think it was a close thing at all. It is

:13:08. > :13:13.Ricciardo that has gone to Red Bull racing. As Mercedes go past us with

:13:14. > :13:17.the tires we can catch up with Nico Rosberg now.

:13:18. > :13:21.The last day of school and you are starting in a good place today. I

:13:22. > :13:24.know you would have loved to have got Sebastian Vettel and have the

:13:25. > :13:28.nice clear view at the start. It would have been fantastic. I hoped

:13:29. > :13:32.for it after Friday. He was too quick. It was not doable. From that

:13:33. > :13:38.point of view, yes, I was pleased with second. It is a great place to

:13:39. > :13:47.start today. If it stays dry, then it will be near impossible to beat

:13:48. > :13:57.him. If the conditions are mixed, then maybe I can annoy them. How

:13:58. > :14:01.much can you battle out there today. For sure, it is something that we

:14:02. > :14:05.will consider all the time. Other than that, it is full speed ahead,

:14:06. > :14:12.flat-out, going for the win. I hope you get it. Thanks. I have come back

:14:13. > :14:15.to Red Bull. We are waiting for Mark to come into the garage. We think he

:14:16. > :14:21.could have somewhat of a welcome. Stay with us for that. Nico talking

:14:22. > :14:25.there from the front-row. He's been looking fantastic. He looked

:14:26. > :14:29.terrific in the wet on Friday. Presumably he's hoping it will rain

:14:30. > :14:32.a little bit, David. He was dominate on Friday. Everyone had the

:14:33. > :14:37.opportunity to go out there and find out how the car balance was. He

:14:38. > :14:42.seemed on top of it. He has looked the stronger of the Mercedes

:14:43. > :14:45.drivers. We will see some rain this afternoon. Whether it will be enough

:14:46. > :14:55.to make the difference remains to be seen. He probably has a reasonable

:14:56. > :14:58.chance. Somebody has to take the fight, we hope we will have an

:14:59. > :15:03.exciteling race, the last couple haven't been where we would like

:15:04. > :15:08.them to be. Nevertheless Rosberg looks like the man. Never

:15:09. > :15:13.underestimate Alonso. He makes unbelievable start, here, you know,

:15:14. > :15:18.if you were to talk about the second home you would have to say it was

:15:19. > :15:25.here in Brasil. I think he could be the one to lead on the first lap. It

:15:26. > :15:31.could be interesting. It is the last race with the V 8s. This is the end

:15:32. > :15:37.of a new era, it is V6 turbo, so the last time we will see these engines.

:15:38. > :15:40.Interesting time. Mustn't forget Ross Brawn. I am talking about

:15:41. > :15:44.people not just drivers like David and stuff, we have to make sure that

:15:45. > :15:48.we applaud people like Mark, because that is very important, but we

:15:49. > :15:52.should say thank to you to Ross for the great results he's has brought

:15:53. > :15:56.for Britain, because when he went to Ferrari he mate sure most parts were

:15:57. > :16:01.made in Britain. We hope to see him back in this paddock. Mark is going

:16:02. > :16:04.to be a few more minutes so let us hear about Fernando Alonso. He was

:16:05. > :16:08.fighting for the Championship last year, against Sebastian Vettel, but

:16:09. > :16:11.had to settle for second, again. This has not been a vintage year for

:16:12. > :16:34.Ferrari. Fernando Alonso wins for Ferrari.

:16:35. > :16:38.You have had a few weeks since the Championship was definitely won by

:16:39. > :16:43.Sebastian does it hurt any less? The point you realise you will not fight

:16:44. > :16:50.for the Championship was July or August. Vettel wins in Belgium, he

:16:51. > :16:54.continues to build the advantage. The performance is so s a big

:16:55. > :16:58.difference, so we were too much focussed on the race by race, that

:16:59. > :17:03.we didn't have time to think that this Championship was in our hands,

:17:04. > :17:06.sos, we were slipping away, and now we need to work harder for next

:17:07. > :17:10.year. What was the truth in the summer? Did you or anyone from your

:17:11. > :17:15.team go and speak to any of teams in the paddock about you moving on

:17:16. > :17:21.elsewhere? No, nothing at all. It was only rumours, I think this year

:17:22. > :17:28.has been more rumours than any other year, so this has been a strange

:17:29. > :17:33.season, but from my side, there were no talks with anyone. Why stay at

:17:34. > :17:38.Ferrari, why not move on and take that chance? Because first of all I

:17:39. > :17:45.have contract, which I need to respect, and I am happy to respect

:17:46. > :17:50.second brauz I trust that Ferrari can do a good job, for next year,

:17:51. > :17:54.especially, there are big changes in the rules. I think no-one in the

:17:55. > :17:58.paddock can point one team, saying that that team will dominate next

:17:59. > :18:02.year, so it is a completely random choice. I think I am in the best

:18:03. > :18:06.team to win next year, and we will try to do so. How much young

:18:07. > :18:11.offender looking forward to pressing the reset Button as you head into

:18:12. > :18:16.2014. How much does Ferrari look forward to that? We are counting the

:18:17. > :18:23.days, to be honest, we want to be Sunday night in Brazil. Packing

:18:24. > :18:27.everything. Come back, 2014 we have new engine, we have new designers

:18:28. > :18:30.coming, and we need to deliver and it is time to deliver, and next year

:18:31. > :18:34.everyone in the factory feels it is time to do it. A new team-mate. Tell

:18:35. > :18:38.us your thoughts on that, does it change your approach to next season?

:18:39. > :18:44.Not really, for meme at the moment. We will see after two or three races

:18:45. > :18:49.next year, if you know, I am consistently behind Kimi and I can

:18:50. > :18:53.change my driving style, I can take things from him, to be as good as

:18:54. > :18:57.him, or whatever, that only time will tell. But I think it is going

:18:58. > :19:04.to be fine. When you ask people who know about motor sport, who know

:19:05. > :19:08.about Formula One you are the racing drivers racer. Can he go round the

:19:09. > :19:14.outside? Almost on the grass. He is strieing it. He has done it. That

:19:15. > :19:23.was incredible. Do do you rate yourself? It is great to have that

:19:24. > :19:27.people respect your job, and despite the championship, there are

:19:28. > :19:33.sometimes that, you know, you need to win, and when you are not wink,

:19:34. > :19:36.you your -- winning, your confidence is getting lower and you try to

:19:37. > :19:42.motivate yourself. I still believe I have many years in front of me, to,

:19:43. > :19:48.to recover some of the Championships that I could have won, probably.

:19:49. > :19:52.Inside, I still think that when I retire, I will have more than two. I

:19:53. > :19:58.don't know how many but I will have more than two. When you look at

:19:59. > :20:04.drivers who you have looked up to and admired, Ayrton Senna, post, vet

:20:05. > :20:10.has won his four consecutive titles at the same time before Alain Prost

:20:11. > :20:14.won his first Grand Prix. The you put him into the same category as

:20:15. > :20:20.Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. Time will tell us when he will have a car

:20:21. > :20:26.like the others, if he wins, he will be one of the legends in Formula

:20:27. > :20:31.One. When one day he has a car like the other, and he's fourth, fifth,

:20:32. > :20:36.seventh, the four titles will be bad news for him, because people will

:20:37. > :20:42.take this four titles, in a worse manner than what they are doing now,

:20:43. > :20:47.so there are interesting times for Sebastian coming.

:20:48. > :20:52.Ooh. Strong words. I think there are people out there that will agree

:20:53. > :20:55.with Fernando. Discuss, what do you think about that sentence? Have to

:20:56. > :20:59.think about that again, because there is certain amount of

:21:00. > :21:04.bitterness there, there is certainly... Well, clearly, you know

:21:05. > :21:09.why Alonso is upset. First thing this race last year, he thought he

:21:10. > :21:12.could have been third champion, and the youngest triple champion. It

:21:13. > :21:17.didn't happen, Vettel got it. But there is a huge rumour going on in

:21:18. > :21:23.Italy and it is gathering momentum and that is Alonso had an option and

:21:24. > :21:27.still has, sorry, Vettel had an option to go to Ferrari for 2014 and

:21:28. > :21:30.Alonso had it stopped. Whether it is true or not I don't know. It has

:21:31. > :21:35.been round Italy and it is not brand-new, if that is the case, and

:21:36. > :21:40.that Vettel will wind up in Ferrari, you can see why this animosity is

:21:41. > :21:44.going on. What are your thoughts? ? Terms of his words there, they are

:21:45. > :21:47.words of experience, he knows he won a couple of World Champions early in

:21:48. > :21:52.his career, and he knows how difficult it has been since then, he

:21:53. > :21:55.took his dream to Ferrari, he wanted to realise being a Ferrari World

:21:56. > :21:59.Champion because of the credit, and great emotion that would bring, and

:22:00. > :22:03.he has come up short. He has been very close, as I have said last year

:22:04. > :22:07.as well, the World Championship could have gone sitar way, he has

:22:08. > :22:11.finished second again and probably has the fourth best car. Nobody

:22:12. > :22:14.doubts he's is a World Champion without actually having the Crown in

:22:15. > :22:19.his hands, so I don't see it as being bitter. He is saying I am a

:22:20. > :22:25.bit older, it is difficult when things aren't working well. Let us

:22:26. > :22:28.judge Sebastian when he has had two or three years of not having the

:22:29. > :22:33.level of success he thinks he deserves. Well I think you think

:22:34. > :22:37.differently about that, but Mark is just in the garage now, so let us

:22:38. > :22:42.have a look at the pictures. Here he come, this is Mark Webber, from the

:22:43. > :22:50.paddock. Coming into the garage for his last ever Formula One race. What

:22:51. > :23:06.a fantastic career it has been from 2002 and those Minardi days. Let us

:23:07. > :23:13.listen for a moment. So great scene, waltzing Matilda and

:23:14. > :23:18.there he stands. He has contributed to great deal, he has been part of

:23:19. > :23:23.the foundation of the team since the Jaguar days and all these these

:23:24. > :23:27.victories so he has every reason to be smiling. He certainly has, he

:23:28. > :23:33.looks emotional there, don't you think? So he should be, you know, to

:23:34. > :23:37.come, to ply your trade, to get to the top of the trade you are in and

:23:38. > :23:42.to be admired and loved by the people, going back, to a team like

:23:43. > :23:46.this, as David says, he has made, and he was the inspiration with DC,

:23:47. > :23:51.for bringing this team to where it is today, and that is why I think he

:23:52. > :23:56.had so many admirers throughout the world. Did an incressable --

:23:57. > :24:06.incredible job and fans round the world. I don't think that we will be

:24:07. > :24:11.the only people that miss him. There has been lots of defining

:24:12. > :24:17.moments in his career for sure. The odds were just hideously against me.

:24:18. > :24:21.As it is for most young guys trying to get through to that level, if you

:24:22. > :24:24.haven't got the big backers behind you, the things we weren't in that

:24:25. > :24:29.position to have that. So very proud, mate, to, you know, make the

:24:30. > :24:35.most of those defining moments. Victory for Mark Webber, his first

:24:36. > :24:55.in Formula One. ON RADIO: Yeah. Yeah.

:24:56. > :25:01.It was important I won the first race fair and square for myself,

:25:02. > :25:04.that was the case, absolutely. I had actually had a drop through penalty

:25:05. > :25:11.I in the race and come back through and won. Didn't happen often. Very

:25:12. > :25:16.rare but I did ring up and ask for Sebastian in traffic, and he wasn't.

:25:17. > :25:22.The leaf coming round the last corner, thinking I that was pretty

:25:23. > :25:28.special. A long time between Australians winning the Grand Prix.

:25:29. > :25:34.There has only been three of us. I think it was 25 years. Hearing the

:25:35. > :25:40.National Anthem. It has always been down me since then. To manage to get

:25:41. > :25:46.the win was great. If you were to maim one season where

:25:47. > :25:51.you have done the best job It is biassed to my best season, I was

:25:52. > :25:56.operating at that level for quite, a long period of time. Yeah, it is

:25:57. > :25:59.amazing, how you lift obviously when you probably need to, obviously

:26:00. > :26:04.there was a lot of wins in there, a lot of, you know, superconsistent

:26:05. > :26:14.season, the practice session, all the qualifying session, that was a

:26:15. > :26:18.pretty solid year. November 2008 was a wake up call for

:26:19. > :26:23.Mark Webber, how things can change quickly. Obviously I was fit, I was

:26:24. > :26:28.probably the fittest I have been in my life. I went from that day, to

:26:29. > :26:32.you know, three or four days after, and laying there in bed going "Are I

:26:33. > :26:37.will be on crutches for a while and I will get going. You put your leg

:26:38. > :26:42.out for the first time and you are like, you have a bit on here, this

:26:43. > :26:47.is different. How did it affect your relationship

:26:48. > :26:55.with the team? Dietrich rang me three days after it happened. He was

:26:56. > :26:59."What happened? We will stand by you." That was a massive loyalty

:27:00. > :27:02.factor. I will never forget that phone call, because it is all well

:27:03. > :27:07.and good, people sticking by you when you are doing well, I hadn't

:27:08. > :27:10.won a race to that point, and the team hadn't done much until then, so

:27:11. > :27:15.he could have easily gone with someone else, what the hell, how is

:27:16. > :27:21.Mark going to be, there was lots of questions in my own mind, how was I

:27:22. > :27:26.going to be? Were you wear, sat next to Seb that were up against someone

:27:27. > :27:30.who was clearly very very good? Not really initially. I mean for his

:27:31. > :27:34.experience at the time, obviously he was pretty handy but it was nothing

:27:35. > :27:39.like, OK, evident in the first two season, there wasn't a huge amount

:27:40. > :27:43.between us, it wasn't like this bloke's unbeatable.

:27:44. > :27:47.Here they come together. Webber and Vettel came together. What was going

:27:48. > :27:56.on there? The start of this year took a bit of a turn again, just for

:27:57. > :28:04.the worst. ON RADIO: This is silly, Seb. Come

:28:05. > :28:08.on. Malaysia wasn't everything, but it

:28:09. > :28:13.was just lots of scenarios between both of us, so it has made it quite

:28:14. > :28:26.difficult. Other relationships in the team have been stressed. Were

:28:27. > :28:33.you surprised with the way he dealt with Malaysia? What he did in

:28:34. > :28:37.Malaysia? No. Two weeks later yes. Obviously I think what he, the

:28:38. > :28:41.motions at the time were correct. Think he felt pretty poor after the

:28:42. > :28:48.race. Are you happy you have won? No, I did a mistake, if I could undo

:28:49. > :28:53.it I would, but I can't. . Then he, the discussion a few weeks later was

:28:54. > :28:57.surprising. Had I understood the message I would have thought about

:28:58. > :29:05.it and probably would have done the same thing because Mark doesn't

:29:06. > :29:09.deserve that. Melbourne, probably miss driving in

:29:10. > :29:16.Melbourne. It will be hard to watch that race next year. Qualifying

:29:17. > :29:19.still is nice for the cars. Beautiful circuits where you get to

:29:20. > :29:23.challenge on. Some of the challenging circuits is very very

:29:24. > :29:29.nice to drive down the pit lane in Q3, car minimum weight, fresh tyres.

:29:30. > :29:35.That might last a whole lap. Yes, so, that is enjoyable.

:29:36. > :29:39.That is what we are trying to do, so in terms thats that that, the

:29:40. > :29:43.missing of it, you know it is time to stop, you can't accept, you still

:29:44. > :29:48.want to do it but you are on that slippery slope, what is the point

:29:49. > :30:35.continuing at that level? You can't do that.

:30:36. > :30:43.Shots now of Mark leaving the Red Bull garage for the final time for

:30:44. > :30:48.his last race in Formula One. I think there's probably not a dry eye

:30:49. > :30:54.in the house after that piece. A wonderful interview. Mark speaks so

:30:55. > :31:00.frankly. It was great listening to Mark. There have been highs and

:31:01. > :31:05.lows. Nine wins - he's been a fantastic part of your team, hasn't

:31:06. > :31:10.he? He's had a tremendous career. It has been great to see him achieve

:31:11. > :31:18.the success he deserved and to win those nine Grand Prixes so far. The

:31:19. > :31:22.big part in our team, in winning the four construckor's World

:31:23. > :31:30.Championships as well. I need to move in for safety!

:31:31. > :31:37.It has been massive for him. I the support from his father, Allen, he

:31:38. > :31:41.has fought to get here. He has enjoyed a great career. He has

:31:42. > :31:47.deserved it. Hopefully he can sign off on a high. Has it been tangible

:31:48. > :31:54.- the emotion - this morning? It has a different feel. Hopefully he'll be

:31:55. > :32:00.there when the chequered flag comes down. Hopefully he will see that and

:32:01. > :32:06.get a great result. Then I think it will sink in more for him. I don't

:32:07. > :32:10.think he comprehends this being his final Grand Prix at the moment. It

:32:11. > :32:16.must be difficult to take it all in. Was it only afterwards you could

:32:17. > :32:22.look back and say, I had a great career. Un Undoubtedly. I had a

:32:23. > :32:26.great view to watch my final Grand Prix. I was not in it. I was sitting

:32:27. > :32:31.here, watching the guys racing. It was different from me. I was

:32:32. > :32:38.retiring from active motor sport. My mind was concluding that part of my

:32:39. > :32:43.career. Mark is going to be part of the racing fraternity. This is the

:32:44. > :32:48.end of one era, but the next chapter begins.

:32:49. > :32:53.You know Mark very well. You have known him for a long time. You had a

:32:54. > :32:59.hand this his career, didn't you? The only connection is, in 1999,

:33:00. > :33:06.when Mark lost his driver, he didn't continue in the sports cars, he used

:33:07. > :33:12.to hang out at a gym. I said, you better nip over the road. He went

:33:13. > :33:18.over and went to drive. I am not claiming that one, I promise. Yes, a

:33:19. > :33:23.little, small hand in it. It all adds into the pa pot of the career.

:33:24. > :33:28.-- into the pot of the career. Do you feel he has changed over the

:33:29. > :33:34.years? He has changed, but his funt mental values haven't. He is a tough

:33:35. > :33:38.competitor. He is -- the fundamental values haven't. He is a tough

:33:39. > :33:44.competitor. He is one of the old school n many respects. No dry

:33:45. > :33:49.running. The engineers have limited experience in how to set the car up

:33:50. > :33:54.for change of conditions. What has been the briefing with your

:33:55. > :33:58.engineers ahead of the race? It is unknown. The circuit will be like it

:33:59. > :34:03.should be on Friday morning. It will be very green. There'll be no rubber

:34:04. > :34:08.down. How these slick tires react to that will -- tyres react to that

:34:09. > :34:13.will be tricky. Different cars obviously behave in different ways.

:34:14. > :34:20.So, we have to have plans A, B and C. At the moment, we don't know

:34:21. > :34:26.which will be the right one. Plan D - who will be your likely winner

:34:27. > :34:33.here? The Lotus on a green track will be quick. Mercedes have been

:34:34. > :34:39.quick all weekend. Fernando is pumped up for this as well. Do you

:34:40. > :34:43.know what I think Fernando could be tough today. It is extremely loud

:34:44. > :34:48.here. We can hear pit stops behind us - everybody preparing. Good luck,

:34:49. > :34:50.as always. And indeed for Mark's last race. Thank you for your time.

:34:51. > :35:14.We have some great shots here. Great respect for a terrific driver,

:35:15. > :35:19.David. Yes, he has been a great loyal servant. They have repaid

:35:20. > :35:24.that, after his accident in Budapest. The Brazilians wear their

:35:25. > :35:28.hearts on their sleeves. I suspect he will be feeling more emotion

:35:29. > :35:34.emotional, like Mark will at this moment. Hopefully we catch up with

:35:35. > :35:42.him on the grid later. See what you can get for us. We will take a

:35:43. > :35:52.closer look at this track. This was taken through by DC. Interlagos, 2.6

:35:53. > :35:55.mile lap. Second shortest only to Monte Carlo. We join Sebastian

:35:56. > :35:59.Vettel. You can see the green markings. Comes across the line.

:36:00. > :36:05.Difficult positions into term one. The apex is quite some way around

:36:06. > :36:10.the braking zone. He is already confident to use the white lines.

:36:11. > :36:14.Normally that is a no-go area in damp conditions. Hesitant to full

:36:15. > :36:18.power, as he comes through three. He uses a tiny amount of this as he

:36:19. > :36:24.runs down the back straight. Coming up to turn four - big

:36:25. > :36:28.commitment on turning. Watch him have a major catch through turn

:36:29. > :36:35.five. That's the high speed oversteer at

:36:36. > :36:40.235km per hour. He manages to do what Perez didn't. Seven - and his

:36:41. > :36:44.confidence running as he runs on to the white lain, before dropping into

:36:45. > :36:48.turn eight. A wide apex. He drops into nine. He uses all the grip

:36:49. > :36:52.available on the outside of the circuit. Straightens the car for

:36:53. > :36:56.best acceleration. Now getting unsighted by a Ferrari ahead. That

:36:57. > :37:01.is Felipe Massa, in his last Grand Prix for the Ferrari team. Gets well

:37:02. > :37:07.out of the way. Vettel drops down through ten and 11. Big confidence,

:37:08. > :37:11.but look, little lock-up on the front right into turn 12. We can

:37:12. > :37:18.tell this car is set up for dry-running. He using this before

:37:19. > :37:25.the kink at 14 and uses it at 15. Look at the RPM, just over 16,000.

:37:26. > :37:30.He takes his ninth pole position of the year. Could anyone stop him

:37:31. > :37:34.taking a record-breaking nine straight victories?

:37:35. > :37:40.Thank you, guys! Ole!

:37:41. > :37:44.His ninth pole of the year. The quite incredible Sebastian Vettel

:37:45. > :37:51.really pulled it out of the can yesterday. It was... It is

:37:52. > :37:57.extraordinarinarily loud in this pit lane. I hope you can hear me at

:37:58. > :38:00.home! Everyone preparing for the final race of the 2013 season. A lot

:38:01. > :38:05.of the drivers coming through, trying to do as many laps as they

:38:06. > :38:08.can. This is the first time all weekend there's been any dry track

:38:09. > :38:13.at all. This is a difficult time for the teams, isn't it? The teams will

:38:14. > :38:19.be trying to amass as much information as they can. The reality

:38:20. > :38:24.is the car will have been set up as it left the simulator. When it left

:38:25. > :38:28.the simulator, this is what their best shot was. That is often the

:38:29. > :38:30.case they need to make major adjustments. They won't have the

:38:31. > :38:34.time. They did haven't the opportunity with the wet weather.

:38:35. > :38:40.Anything could happen here. We may be lucky. They might come down with

:38:41. > :38:44.a very exciting race. We only have to look back to last year, don't we,

:38:45. > :38:49.really! It was the battle between Vettel and Alonso for the

:38:50. > :38:56.championship. Vettel, starting at the front. Off they go - in these

:38:57. > :39:02.dry conditions. It is all looking good Wow, look at this! Anything can

:39:03. > :39:06.happen here. It did for Sebastian Vettel, when we saw these

:39:07. > :39:10.extraordinary pictures and images of him, just facing the wrong way. This

:39:11. > :39:33.was a huge race for him. him, just facing the wrong way. This

:39:34. > :39:38.rules and regulations. The fact is Alonso should not have let Vettel

:39:39. > :39:42.back into the fold. He should have nailed this race. It should have

:39:43. > :39:48.been his championship last year. Let's go back for a moment. We went

:39:49. > :39:52.to the pictures of Mark Webber coming in. We didn't quite finish

:39:53. > :39:56.our chat. What do you think he should do - do you think he should

:39:57. > :40:02.leave Ferrari? If this is true, what we are hearing, that there was an

:40:03. > :40:05.option or a letter, intent, or whatever it was for Vettel to go to

:40:06. > :40:09.Ferrari, of course that would have... And we don't know whether it

:40:10. > :40:15.was true, then we could understand why during Monza time that the

:40:16. > :40:19.chairman of Ferrari had to come and make some calming down motions

:40:20. > :40:23.between the whole of the team and physically back Alonso. That was

:40:24. > :40:33.part of the requirement that he had to do. Time will tell. We will see.

:40:34. > :40:38.We are not always the best people to know what happened. There is an

:40:39. > :40:43.element of bitter bitterness. We want to see how that will be played

:40:44. > :40:49.out. Torrid times at Ferrari this year. A lot of people speaking out I

:40:50. > :40:54.has been a difficult year for -- out. It has been a difficult year

:40:55. > :40:59.for them. Lotus, waiting for money to come in. We are not further down

:41:00. > :41:05.the line about knowing whether it will happen or not. It ticks a

:41:06. > :41:09.number of boxes. They do need funding. There's a lot of talk in

:41:10. > :41:14.the paddock about the distribution of funds. I don't think this is the

:41:15. > :41:17.area to talk about it. They want more, fair play about what is

:41:18. > :41:22.required. Lotus are a winning team. Theyen want to win the first -- they

:41:23. > :41:27.want to win the first race of the season. We are told that the

:41:28. > :41:32.financial implications here are so severe that this could be a fact and

:41:33. > :41:38.hopefully that will not be the case. We will go to those pictures of

:41:39. > :41:42.Romain Grosjean and that love lovely lady waving to DC, who is on the

:41:43. > :41:47.grid. You can see Sebastian Vettel there

:41:48. > :41:53.talking to his engineer. One thing we need to point out is that the

:41:54. > :41:57.start here is unlike any other, I think.

:41:58. > :42:03.We've got elevation change, 300-metre run to the first corner.

:42:04. > :42:10.The apex is around past that second pier really board. Up to the --

:42:11. > :42:14.Pireli board. Very unsighted ford what is ahead.

:42:15. > :42:19.As you get further down the grirkd into the middle, it -- grid, into

:42:20. > :42:23.the middle, it levels out. As you get to the guys at the back, they

:42:24. > :42:27.have to put their foot on the brake because they are running down. The

:42:28. > :42:31.best place in terms of launching off the grid will be at the back. That

:42:32. > :42:36.will not be the best place if you are leading into the first corner.

:42:37. > :42:42.It will be difficult to get a word with too many of them. I will see if

:42:43. > :42:47.Sebastian comes out of talks with the engineers. They've had no dry

:42:48. > :42:51.running this weekend. They have set brand new sets of tyres available. I

:42:52. > :42:55.didn't get the chance to be at the ends of the pit lane. I will not be

:42:56. > :42:59.surprised if they have run each of those tyres on the way to the grid

:43:00. > :43:02.to check balance. The big difference, of course, sitting here

:43:03. > :43:08.on the grid with the new tyres is they will have of 140 kilos-plus of

:43:09. > :43:12.fuel on board. It is not about getting the car set up for the final

:43:13. > :43:20.lap I is about finding one that will -- lap. It finding one that will

:43:21. > :43:32.last. Of on a green track, you are more

:43:33. > :43:38.susceptible to tearing the tyres as it rolls across the track. Seb, are

:43:39. > :43:42.you OK for one line? You are looking very serious and focussed there. A

:43:43. > :43:47.different approach to this Grand Prix. You've had no dry-running at

:43:48. > :43:51.all. What are you talking with your engineer about? It is a bit

:43:52. > :43:57.different. It is dry at the moment. We haven't had any practise in dry

:43:58. > :44:02.session. So, it's difficult to get everything right. I think it is the

:44:03. > :44:07.same for everyone though. That is what we've been talking about. We

:44:08. > :44:10.believe you are the only team to try both compounds going to the grid.

:44:11. > :44:14.Are you surprised the others have not done that? I don't know what

:44:15. > :44:20.they did. I think it made sense to have a read on how the car feels on

:44:21. > :44:25.either compound. Yeah, I am not telling you which compound we will

:44:26. > :44:29.start on. It is not a big mystery. Don't worry - I can wait for

:44:30. > :44:36.Christmas. I can wait for you to unwrap them. Best of luck in your

:44:37. > :44:39.Grand Prix. Number one on his car. Nico Rosberg - very happy with his

:44:40. > :44:44.qualifying, lining up in second. We know that Lee had a word with him

:44:45. > :44:48.earlier. He'll be firmly focussed on a run-down to try and get up the

:44:49. > :44:54.inside into turn one. Every possibility of that. We know that

:44:55. > :44:56.Sebastian makes great starts. Let's get a quick last thought from Mark

:44:57. > :45:09.Webber ahead of his last Grand Prix. I know I shouldn't be here but we

:45:10. > :45:15.want to get your last feelings before the Grand Prix starts once

:45:16. > :45:19.you start you will be fully focussed Once I am move manager the car is

:45:20. > :45:25.fine. Getting out, a different emotion is going on of course. But,

:45:26. > :45:29.once we get in the cockpit it is all good, mate, and looking forward to

:45:30. > :45:34.getting into the race now, and, yes, seeing what we can do. It looks OK,

:45:35. > :45:38.the car feels good going to the grid. See how we go. Great reception

:45:39. > :45:41.from your team when you went into the pits there, you looked

:45:42. > :45:47.emotional. Any regrets from your career? Any last words you want to

:45:48. > :45:51.send down the line? I think... It is inevitable you will have some

:45:52. > :45:54.adversity, different decisions you could have done different. That is

:45:55. > :45:59.part of the rule, you have to go with it and do what you can. Nice

:46:00. > :46:04.little, a few touching Aussie songs from the team and we will focus on

:46:05. > :46:08.the job now. You have been a legend, best of luck. Great career. Just

:46:09. > :46:13.getting a bit of an impact here. It is a tight grid. Unsurprisingly busy

:46:14. > :46:18.for the last race of the season. A lot of passion for farm la one in

:46:19. > :46:22.Brazil, so the media out in force. I think I may have dropped Ian

:46:23. > :46:26.somewhat. I see his hand up there. In among the cameras, sorry about

:46:27. > :46:31.that Ian. I don't have a big weight on my shoulder, so I have, some

:46:32. > :46:36.people might think I have a chip on my shoulder! But I don't have a big

:46:37. > :46:41.weight. I am not sure why I came over here. There is a racing

:46:42. > :46:46.driver's melt. Daniel Ricciardo. He will be lining up in Red Bull Racing

:46:47. > :46:51.next year. I can see his press officer over there. Is Daniel round?

:46:52. > :46:55.OK. Right, we will let him enjoy that moment, then. Let us continue

:46:56. > :47:01.walking down the grid. There is a young man that will need to get used

:47:02. > :47:07.to his face for the future. That is Daniil Kvyat. I believe, he will be

:47:08. > :47:11.racinger for Toro Rosso. I have not introduced myself. David Coulthard,

:47:12. > :47:15.nice to meet you, congratulations on your first two Friday practise

:47:16. > :47:19.sessionings, you look lie you have been driving for year, are you

:47:20. > :47:25.looking forward to next season? I got comfortable in the car, so yes,

:47:26. > :47:28.now, it has been funny really exciting, but just watching but

:47:29. > :47:32.learning a lot and can't wait for the next year. You were eighth on

:47:33. > :47:38.Friday, that is impressive, so what is the biggest challenge for you

:47:39. > :47:42.coming out of, you were in 3.5, you were, yes, so coming out of that

:47:43. > :47:46.formula to Formula One, give the people at home an understanding of

:47:47. > :47:52.what the big step is. It is a big step for sure. It is 15 secs per

:47:53. > :47:57.lap. Many thick thing, the technical side. More people working round you,

:47:58. > :48:01.the speed of the car, the power, many factors but I think so far it

:48:02. > :48:05.has been going really well. OK, enjoy the Grand Prix, look forward

:48:06. > :48:11.to seeing you next year on the grid, and continue to move down, we know

:48:12. > :48:14.that Dan is not with his car. His team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne very

:48:15. > :48:17.quick through wet qualifying. I believe he might be round somewhere.

:48:18. > :48:22.He is looking at some last minute data. Now if you wonder what data

:48:23. > :48:27.looks like. If you take a sneak at this. Basically, what date is is a

:48:28. > :48:32.bunch of squiggly lines, it looks like you have let your five-year-old

:48:33. > :48:35.loose with Cray I don't knows, but all that information means a great

:48:36. > :48:41.deal a driver. He is probably looking at a driver comparison. It

:48:42. > :48:45.is in fact fact, a comparison with his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo. It

:48:46. > :48:50.is telling him how the car is. If I can get a quick line. You are

:48:51. > :48:52.looking at the data. Presume reference relative do your

:48:53. > :48:58.team-mate. Happy with the balance? In is the first dry-running? And to

:48:59. > :49:03.last year as well. Difficult to say, the first time we

:49:04. > :49:07.are going to drive on the dry conditions, we have no idea how the

:49:08. > :49:11.car will perform. We are looking at data to adjust the front flap. That

:49:12. > :49:14.is all we can do. You have a good feel in the changing condition, you

:49:15. > :49:19.probably felt you should have been in front of your team-mate because

:49:20. > :49:22.you were quicker. What makes you feel more comfortable with the

:49:23. > :49:25.Pirelli tyres and the damp conditions? I don't know. To be

:49:26. > :49:33.honest, with you, I would like some rain in the middle of the race. It

:49:34. > :49:37.would be good. Best of luck to you. At this at this point, given it is a

:49:38. > :49:41.long walk to the commentary box, I think I am going to head back and I

:49:42. > :49:45.will see you later. Thanks very much David. Chips

:49:46. > :49:49.secrets and all sorts of data on the grid there. Fascinating stuff, some

:49:50. > :49:54.really interesting things and we have got a bit of chat now from

:49:55. > :50:00.Felipe Massa. A big day for you, not only in front

:50:01. > :50:04.of your home fan, but your last day for Ferrari, how are the emotions?

:50:05. > :50:08.It a very special day, I hope question have a great race. It is a

:50:09. > :50:14.very emotional day for me, and for the team, for my fan, everybody. I

:50:15. > :50:19.hope it goes well. Thank you. Well, that is the scene on the grid,

:50:20. > :50:24.as we talk right now, just a few minutes to go and there are records

:50:25. > :50:30.to be broken today. Eddie, for Sebastian Vettel. He could equal

:50:31. > :50:34.shuem's 13 wins in one season from 2004. These records mean such a lot

:50:35. > :50:40.to him. Schumacher. If he gets nine, that is nine races in a row which is

:50:41. > :50:44.extraordinary. The thing he is o so talented. When he won a pole

:50:45. > :50:48.position in Monza and won with the Toro Rosso team, I think that was

:50:49. > :50:52.the sure sign there was something special to be unfolded here. And he

:50:53. > :50:56.has kept to his word. He has unfolded greatness, all the way

:50:57. > :51:00.through, I know there is talk about he has had the best car. Of course

:51:01. > :51:05.he has, the best drivers usually wind up in the best cars. It

:51:06. > :51:09.happens, and this is no exception, I think he is a real true champion,

:51:10. > :51:13.and he loves all of those historical things that make it more possible to

:51:14. > :51:19.have history related to it. So I think the thing he likes is that you

:51:20. > :51:23.know, the wins in a year, nine would be amazing. One of the drivers

:51:24. > :51:28.looking for a permanent ride is Heikki Kovalainen. He is seek

:51:29. > :51:33.speaking to Leigh. How does it feel to be back here at Interlagos? It is

:51:34. > :51:37.great. It is a great atmosphere, but I wouldn't mind racing everywhere to

:51:38. > :51:41.be honest. It is good to be back. What do you think you can do today?

:51:42. > :51:44.How much is the focus on getting the Constructors Championship and going

:51:45. > :51:49.the in the right direction for Lotus? Everything is targeted at

:51:50. > :51:54.that. We are trying to beat the Ferraris and trying to score points.

:51:55. > :51:57.I don't know how it will go. Hopefully we will go right this

:51:58. > :52:01.time. Plenty of ways to watch Formula One

:52:02. > :52:06.on the BBC and you can download the BBC sport phone app. All the latest

:52:07. > :52:10.reports, information, columns and gossip. All the results and when we

:52:11. > :52:16.are live we will stream the information for you live, as well.

:52:17. > :52:22.So here, now, is Mark Webber arriving, I believe. There he is.

:52:23. > :52:26.All his mechanics getting him on to the grid.

:52:27. > :52:31.So not long to go, then, before the final race of the year. This is the

:52:32. > :52:37.final race, for Mark Webber, for Red Bull, the last time we will see

:52:38. > :52:46.Felipe Massa of course in a Ferrari. Leigh McKenzie and Tom are in the

:52:47. > :52:51.pit lane. So, the final race of the year, well, it has been a season of

:52:52. > :53:01.intrigue and there has been a few records smashed to pieces.

:53:02. > :53:13.It is a sport of high numbers. High speeds in the hundreds ofmph.

:53:14. > :53:19.-- miles per hour. Revolutions per minute, salaries by the million,

:53:20. > :53:27.paid or unpaid. In the sport of high numbers,

:53:28. > :53:34.temperatures soar too. And on the scorched land at day's end, the

:53:35. > :53:40.tropical storm falls. Mercury rising. And in its red zone, rubber

:53:41. > :53:48.melts. In the furnace, testimoniers flare,

:53:49. > :53:57.even among team-mates. -- terms. In the delirium of heat. A

:53:58. > :54:00.reconnection made. Calling in on old friends. Drop in the you are passing

:54:01. > :54:03.buy. -- by.

:54:04. > :54:08.High numbers, high temperatures. But this was the season of the

:54:09. > :54:13.smallest unit. The slimmest of single digits, and

:54:14. > :54:18.the coolest head. The number is in the title.

:54:19. > :54:23.In Formula One, the number one is the one.

:54:24. > :54:30.Vettel. Sebastian. Sebastian Vettel the one in the multi-21. The best

:54:31. > :54:35.for the fourth year in succession. The winner of eight straight races.

:54:36. > :54:42.The straight eight before the V6 of next season.

:54:43. > :54:45.Sebastian Vettel, world beater. Record breaking.

:54:46. > :55:07.Number one. In Formula One. A record breaking season comes to an

:55:08. > :55:11.end at Interlagos the track between two lakes or as we saw in

:55:12. > :55:15.qualifying, the track that can become a lake. The final round of

:55:16. > :55:21.the 2013 World Championship comes to an end in Sao Paulo where 40 years

:55:22. > :55:25.ago in 1973 the first World Championship Brazilian Grand Prix

:55:26. > :55:28.was held on the original circuit and won by Formula One legend Emerson

:55:29. > :55:32.Fittipaldi. Some of the conners he raced on are used today. Notably in

:55:33. > :55:35.the latter part of the second sector, and indeed the final sector

:55:36. > :55:43.of the lap. But this current layout has been used since 1990 when Alain

:55:44. > :55:51.Prost's Ferrari beat the McLarens of Senna. Two DRS zones provide

:55:52. > :55:56.overtaking abilities. Teams switched from slick tyres to

:55:57. > :56:00.intermediates and back again. Racing here always seems to produce drama

:56:01. > :56:05.and with Vettel's chance of making it nine wins in a row, Mark Webber's

:56:06. > :56:08.opportunity to win his final Grand Prix or perhaps Fernando Alonso's

:56:09. > :56:12.shot at winning for the first time in Brazil, there is plenty to look

:56:13. > :56:18.forward to. No rain at the moment. We do have predictions there could

:56:19. > :56:21.be rain in the race. About 60% chance of rain falling at some

:56:22. > :56:24.point, but we have to wait and see. The teams will have to react as

:56:25. > :56:28.quickly as possible, if that happens. The Felipe Massa then,

:56:29. > :56:32.starting his last Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver, but we will see him

:56:33. > :56:37.back on the grid, as opposed to Mark Webber who starts his very last

:56:38. > :56:41.Formula One Grand Prix. Our thoughts are with him and his family as they

:56:42. > :56:44.go into this final race, a very special time for Mark Webber. He

:56:45. > :56:47.start tons second row of the grid. He has Fernando Alonso, his good

:56:48. > :56:52.friend alongside him on the grid, so let us see how all 22 cars do line

:56:53. > :56:56.up. It is Sebastian Vettel on his ninth pole of the season. Rosberg

:56:57. > :57:00.his seventh front row start. Can he do anything for Mercedes. Alonso

:57:01. > :57:03.starting third. Mark Webber starts in a strong fourth place. Lewis

:57:04. > :57:09.Hamilton starts in fifth, where he qualified in the USA and Grosjean

:57:10. > :57:12.starts in sixth. Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne the two Toro

:57:13. > :57:16.Rosso team-mates are next to each other, Felipe Massa starts in ninth

:57:17. > :57:19.place with Nico Hulkenberg who has gone well in Brazil, he starts

:57:20. > :57:23.tenth. Heikki Kovalainen just outside the point, can he get in the

:57:24. > :57:28.points for the first time in 60 Grand Prix for him. Paul di Resta is

:57:29. > :57:34.next. Valtteri Bottas and Jenson Button are on row seven. 15th place

:57:35. > :57:41.for Adrian Sutil, then Pastor Maldonado 16th for William, then

:57:42. > :57:46.Esteban Gutierrez and Charles Pic. Remember Caterham still versus

:57:47. > :57:52.Marussia in the battle for tenth. Perez starts in 19 and it is the two

:57:53. > :57:55.Marussias of Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton. If Marussia are to be

:57:56. > :57:59.beaten to that tenth place, Caterham need to get a 13th place finish here

:58:00. > :58:05.today. That does really depend on a bit of luck going their way. And a

:58:06. > :58:09.lot of non-finishes. Therest Fernando Alonso. Can he finish his

:58:10. > :58:13.season in style, he starts in third place, we know how fast he can be

:58:14. > :58:17.off the line. Think Ferrari probably need some rain this afternoon, to

:58:18. > :58:20.actually take the battle all the way through the race. Nico Rosberg

:58:21. > :58:24.starting in second place, and there is our pole man, Sebastian Vettel,

:58:25. > :58:27.Tom, how could you update us, what has been happen something I am

:58:28. > :58:31.poised for a very busy rates down here in the pit lane, but it has

:58:32. > :58:36.already been busy, because I was down at the end of the pit lane,

:58:37. > :58:41.fascinating to see the teams' approach to this race given we have

:58:42. > :58:46.had no dry-running and Red Bull were the only team to give its drives,

:58:47. > :58:50.both drivers the opportunity to try both compounds, both Vettel and

:58:51. > :58:57.Webber went out and did two laps on each compounds where the other team,

:58:58. > :59:00.Ferrari, medium tyres on both cars, McLaren did Jenson Button on the

:59:01. > :59:04.hard tyre and Perez on the medium and Mercedes only only the medium.

:59:05. > :59:09.So different strategy, but it is going to be a fascinating to see how

:59:10. > :59:14.this one pans out from a tyre wear and tyre degradation point of view.

:59:15. > :59:21.We can see the Wrighington side wall there of the -- writing on the side

:59:22. > :59:26.wall. He is starting on the softer of the compound. We expect most

:59:27. > :59:30.teams to start on this tyre. Look for the orange write Tong side wall

:59:31. > :59:35.to see if anyone has done anything different. That indicates the hard

:59:36. > :59:39.tyre. Looking down the list I think everybody is starting there is one

:59:40. > :59:43.down to the back on the orange tyre but just about everybody starting on

:59:44. > :59:48.the medium compound. They want go with what is the fastest available

:59:49. > :59:55.tyre. We saw Vettel rolling back slightly. It is an incline from pole

:59:56. > :59:58.position. All the way up to the first cornerer. This is the first of

:59:59. > :00:02.the practice procedures, to find out where the point is. They will get

:00:03. > :00:07.information back from the data engineer who can will get time in

:00:08. > :00:23.for how that start went and they will make a clutch adjustment.

:00:24. > :00:30.Why would they choose to go out on the harder compound tyre? They want

:00:31. > :00:34.to go as far as possible because the opportunity to catch the rain,

:00:35. > :00:39.basically. You don't want to be a pit stop in rain 20 and rain at lap

:00:40. > :00:44.24. They have the possible to go to lap 30. They have the biggest

:00:45. > :00:48.opportunity to catch the rain and not have that extra pit stop. How

:00:49. > :00:52.much are the team having to react all the time as to what is happening

:00:53. > :00:56.here? It is leading to that - it will be reaction. Getting the

:00:57. > :01:02.balance of the car - it is not easy. I would have started on the white

:01:03. > :01:06.side of the tyre because the grip is better on the line and put the

:01:07. > :01:12.harder tyre on sismt a two-stop rass. I would have gone medium hard

:01:13. > :01:16.and then the medium. You have to make sure you don't have to stop to

:01:17. > :01:24.put wets on. They are saying at 3pm there is a chance of rain sismt a

:01:25. > :01:31.2pm local -- rain. It is a 2pm local start.

:01:32. > :01:36.A heat heatest vizor system which is used. You can see on the side of his

:01:37. > :01:41.helmet there, there is a cable, there is a battery, external of his

:01:42. > :01:45.helmet - the team were confirming that is switched off. Mark Webber,

:01:46. > :01:52.starting from fourth position. No wins this season. Can he possibly

:01:53. > :01:57.finish off his Formula One career with a win.

:01:58. > :02:02.We had a chat earlier to Mercedes earlier today. I wonder ifle Ross

:02:03. > :02:08.will still be a part of Mercedes next year. Whether he's to be part

:02:09. > :02:13.of Formula One or not, that is to be learnt. Sebastian Vettel, leading

:02:14. > :02:18.the way, of course. Nico Rosberg - a good chance for Rosberg to score a

:02:19. > :02:24.podium finish here today. He's had four podium finishes so far this

:02:25. > :02:29.year. Felipe Massa, who's had a podium himself - that was in Spain.

:02:30. > :02:37.Had both cars on the podium here last year in Brazil. Alonso missed

:02:38. > :02:41.out on the championship, by three points thanks to Vettel's efforts to

:02:42. > :02:44.come from the back of the field to get the result he needed. There have

:02:45. > :02:49.been so many dramatic races here in the past. Let's see if we get

:02:50. > :02:54.another one here today. It will be a dry-bone start - no doubt about it.

:02:55. > :03:01.Hamilton and Grosjean, followed by Ricciardo and Vergne. Massa and

:03:02. > :03:05.Hulkenberg, on the fifth row. Perez further back. Button, remember

:03:06. > :03:09.starts in 15th place. A lot of work for Jenson Button to do here. The

:03:10. > :03:14.final F 1 race of the season about to get upds wa I in Brazil.

:03:15. > :03:18.-- get under way in Brazil. Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg go

:03:19. > :03:24.together. Fernando Alonso, sneaking up the outside. It is Hamilton who

:03:25. > :03:27.makes a good start. Rosberg leads, Vettel into second. Alonso is in

:03:28. > :03:33.fourth place. Massa making up some ground as well. He drops in behind

:03:34. > :03:37.Mark Webber. A very good start by Nico Rosberg. Got that perfect

:03:38. > :03:41.start. You saw that Sebastian Vettel had to go defensive for Fernando

:03:42. > :03:45.Alonso. That allowed a clear run for Rosberg all the way up the inside.

:03:46. > :03:52.It all looks clean so far. This is where we saw Vettel get spun around

:03:53. > :03:55.at turn three earlier. Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso side by side.

:03:56. > :03:59.Alonso trying to go around the outside of Hamilton. Mark Webber is

:04:00. > :04:04.tucked behind in fifth place. Felipe Massa. On board with Alonso here.

:04:05. > :04:10.Look how close the top four are at the moment as they accelerate

:04:11. > :04:15.through this in-field section. Alonso looking to get past Hamilton.

:04:16. > :04:20.He's almost on the grass turning in. He was surprised how Hamilton rolled

:04:21. > :04:24.out of the brakes. It looks like Vettel is gets into position. No

:04:25. > :04:29.duress, of course. I suspect he will not have any cares left after the

:04:30. > :04:33.start either. Rosberg, a little vulnerable. Here comes Vettel. No

:04:34. > :04:38.doubt about it. He's's on the charge. -- he's on the charge.

:04:39. > :04:42.Vettel doesn't care. He blasts past Nico Rosberg. He's on the outside.

:04:43. > :04:47.Has he got the line into the corner? Yes, he has. Alonso and Hamilton

:04:48. > :04:52.side by side on the Senna S. He's into third position.

:04:53. > :04:56.Fighting wheel-to-wheel. Two of the hardest races. Mark Webber has a

:04:57. > :04:59.chance to get past Lewis Hamilton. He picks up the slip-stream.

:05:00. > :05:02.Hamilton defends to the inside as they come to turn four. Webber is

:05:03. > :05:06.trying to go around the outside. He cannot make it. Now he'll try and

:05:07. > :05:11.cut back on the exit here. Hamilton runs ride. He -- wide. He gives him

:05:12. > :05:16.enough space. Hamilton is still on the inside and I am not sure he can

:05:17. > :05:21.do it or can he? Where is Hamilton? He's got tloo and he's taken the --

:05:22. > :05:26.he's got through and he's taken the place - he's in fourth. Extremely

:05:27. > :05:30.fair from Lewis Hamilton. He left them enough space and did the

:05:31. > :05:34.sensible thing as Mark showed commitment around the outside in

:05:35. > :05:40.seven. Felipe Massa is behind them. Grosjean, eighth. Ricciardo in

:05:41. > :05:51.ninth. Jenson Button is in 11th, behind Bottas.

:05:52. > :05:57.We have di Resta down in 17th as well. Not a first good lap forest di

:05:58. > :06:01.Resta. Look who leads. It is Sebastian Vettel, beginning to open

:06:02. > :06:05.up the advantage. 1.4 seconds over Rosberg. Alonso on the attack. Look

:06:06. > :06:10.at this - Grosjean, with Ricciardo. Ricciardo on the outside. Grosjean

:06:11. > :06:17.was able to defend. You have Jenson Button who has got past. Jenson

:06:18. > :06:23.Button is in 10th. Saw Jenson lock up. You have to make sure he doesn't

:06:24. > :06:29.end one a flat-spot. Into turn four, we can see the gap

:06:30. > :06:35.there is less than a second. Alonso will be in position to effect a pass

:06:36. > :06:40.as they get past the start. That is the race of the construckor's

:06:41. > :06:44.championship as well. At the moment, Mercedes have the edge. Ferrari have

:06:45. > :06:51.moved Massa up. He is behind Hamilton. This is one to watch as we

:06:52. > :06:59.go through the line. For Lotus, who are trying to be a

:07:00. > :07:04.part of that group, that Constuctorr's place. Down in 18th

:07:05. > :07:09.place. In the young teams, by the way. Bianki is leading 19th. We are

:07:10. > :07:16.getting set up for a threesome there. And someone has had a spin.

:07:17. > :07:21.That is tyre smoke... It is engine smoke. Smoke pouring out of the

:07:22. > :07:27.engine and Romain Grosjean - Lotus's day gets worse and worse. He tries

:07:28. > :07:34.to get off-line. The yellow flags are out. Very sensibly parking at

:07:35. > :07:39.the gap in the fence. Rosberg goes defensive.

:07:40. > :07:44.Alonso on the outside trying to take second place. He's done it. Now, can

:07:45. > :07:47.he chase after Sebastian Vettel? Does he have the pace in the

:07:48. > :07:53.Ferrari? All the teams are learning. Seeing how the cars react, seeing

:07:54. > :07:59.how the tyres react. Mark Webber closing, also on Nico Rosberg. DRS

:08:00. > :08:04.has been reenabled. We have another yellow come up. We will keep an eye

:08:05. > :08:08.on that for a moment. It is Grosjean pulled to the side of the track.

:08:09. > :08:15.Hulkenberg to seventh. Button is up to ninth. Bottas is in 10th place.

:08:16. > :08:22.Sutil, 12th. Vergne is in 13th. He lost out on the first couple of

:08:23. > :08:28.laps. You can see for Vettel he bogs down initially. That allows Alonso

:08:29. > :08:33.to come up to the right. Rosberg has a completely clear run into turn

:08:34. > :08:39.one. We have seen contact through this first secretary. Everyone --

:08:40. > :08:52.the first section. Everyone keeping this sensible. 19 race starts behind

:08:53. > :09:00.him. Well, all the sensible pros at the front, giving space where

:09:01. > :09:05.necessary. Let's see Alonso's start from on board.

:09:06. > :09:11.He actually shoft-shifted from second to third. I think he was --

:09:12. > :09:16.short-shifted from second to third. I think he was caught out. It is a

:09:17. > :09:25.lovely sound. We will do again after the start. Just listen!

:09:26. > :09:30.Just seemed to judder and bog down. Well, whatever the cause of that

:09:31. > :09:36.was, it didn't sound like a lot of wheelspin. Rosberg got the perfect

:09:37. > :09:46.start. Here is with Massa. Well, outstarts or Toro Rosso.

:09:47. > :09:50.Sneaks up the inside of Webber. Webber has the line as they go

:09:51. > :09:55.through four. Webber has got further in his last race than you did, DC.

:09:56. > :09:59.He has well entered this one. Running fourth. Have a battle now,

:10:00. > :10:04.trying to get past Rosberg and Massa - sorry, just looking at the replay.

:10:05. > :10:09.I understand, any way. We are so starved of some on-track action of

:10:10. > :10:14.the drive. The teams showing their appreciation for that pass. Rosberg

:10:15. > :10:19.and the Mercedes team must have thought, yes, one for lap and then

:10:20. > :10:23.thought, oh no! To the outside, going towards turn

:10:24. > :10:27.four. That was fairly straightforward for

:10:28. > :10:31.him. We are back to live racing. It is Rosberg under pressure from Mark

:10:32. > :10:35.Webber. That is what I was expecting to see, how close they were across

:10:36. > :10:40.the line. Alonso, pulling away from them a bit. Hamilton in fifth place

:10:41. > :10:43.behind them. Massa, fastest of anyone in the first second. The

:10:44. > :10:48.Ferrari is going well in these conditions. Track temperature, 25

:10:49. > :10:51.Celsius. It is not that warm. It seem toss be suiting the Ferraris

:10:52. > :10:57.well at this point in the race. Vettel is open ping up the race --

:10:58. > :11:02.opening up the gap. This is tough Grand Prix racing. They have no

:11:03. > :11:05.experience of slick tyres in 2013 around the Brazilian race track T

:11:06. > :11:10.first point they get of seeing how the tyres open up, how they bed in,

:11:11. > :11:13.the engineers are using their experience and best guesswork on

:11:14. > :11:19.tyre pressures. Everybody trying to learn as we go here. Alonso through

:11:20. > :11:22.in second. The gap opening up. Mark Webber attacking Nico Rosberg.

:11:23. > :11:25.Around the outside he goes. Webber trying to take the third place. He's

:11:26. > :11:29.done it, yes. They have given each other plenty of space there. There

:11:30. > :11:33.was not a lot that Nico Rosberg could do. Next up, Nico Rosberg will

:11:34. > :11:37.have to keep an eye on his team-mate. Lewis Hamilton, not far

:11:38. > :11:42.behind him at all. Massa n the background too. Nico Rosberg, having

:11:43. > :11:46.to fight pretty h hard. If the conditions stay dry, I would say

:11:47. > :11:51.Alonso has got a very, very effective race card. There are two

:11:52. > :11:56.main overtaking points, into turn one and into turn four. Long

:11:57. > :12:03.straightses into both of those. -- straights into both of these. It was

:12:04. > :12:08.17km an hour faster than Vettel. Romain Grosjean sprinting back to

:12:09. > :12:14.the pit lane, having abandoned his car. A sad way to end his season, a

:12:15. > :12:18.strong season. Sadly, it is not to be. Lotus will not be able to

:12:19. > :12:25.challenge for that third or even fourth place in the Constuctor's

:12:26. > :12:32.Championship. On board with Lewis Hamilton,

:12:33. > :12:39.slightly different crash helmet to support the Brazilian colour scheme.

:12:40. > :12:44.Up towards the first corner. Not close enough to challenge there. As

:12:45. > :12:47.he ran into the dirty air coming off the back of his team-mate, lost more

:12:48. > :12:58.than the front wheel. Graining is where the surface of the

:12:59. > :13:01.tyre is disrupted by the track surface, particularly when there is

:13:02. > :13:07.not much rubber down. We have not seen the cars into the grey until

:13:08. > :13:13.this point. Graining is one of the limiting factors. I saw a message, a

:13:14. > :13:17.reminder to enjoy it today, mate! He's in a podium position at the

:13:18. > :13:22.moment. Grosjean not enjoying it now. Trudges, rather than sprints

:13:23. > :13:32.his way back to the Lotus pit. This is Adrian Sutil, a moment ago. Sutil

:13:33. > :13:37.here that was verses Gutierrez. There was Perez. A slight touch of

:13:38. > :13:43.wheels. Get away with it this time. Showing he's not at all happy with

:13:44. > :13:49.the movement from that McLaren. A replay of the Toro Rosso.

:13:50. > :13:59.This is coming out of turn three. Across the DRS activation. Pops open

:14:00. > :14:03.the flap. A lot of top speed. Button is moving up the order. He is in

:14:04. > :14:08.eighth place now. The winner here last year. Ricciardo and Bottas

:14:09. > :14:11.still chasing in tenth. Gutierrez, chased by Sergio Perez. Two

:14:12. > :14:16.Mexicans, together again - this seems to have happened several times

:14:17. > :14:21.in recent Grand Prix. Gutierrez is the top rookie at the

:14:22. > :14:27.moment. We have an incident being investigated by the way, involving

:14:28. > :14:31.cars six and 14 - so that is Sergio Perez himself, who we are looking at

:14:32. > :14:34.now and Paul di Resta. It is all about forcing another car off the

:14:35. > :14:39.track. That will be interesting to see how it turns out. Sergio Perez

:14:40. > :14:43.down in 12th Paul di Resta is in 15th place. Hamilton gets a little

:14:44. > :14:50.bit closer to the back of his team-mate Nico Rosberg.

:14:51. > :14:55.So the rears We can hear that message, and struggling enough to be

:14:56. > :14:59.under pressure from his team-mate Hamilton, and I suspect that

:15:00. > :15:06.Hamilton will find his way past this lap. Coming out of turn 12. He is in

:15:07. > :15:11.DRS activation. He looks a long way back at this point, but this is

:15:12. > :15:17.going to look too far away from being able to get a pass into turn

:15:18. > :15:21.one. I looks like Rosberg is backing Hamilton up, into Massa. And

:15:22. > :15:27.probably hat this stage, given the need to try and get maximum results,

:15:28. > :15:30.it would be sensible to let Hamilton go.

:15:31. > :15:36.Taking the place. Jean-Eric Vergne is on the charge, trying to get past

:15:37. > :15:42.Adrian Sutil. Paul di Resta in that group as well. So keep an eye on

:15:43. > :15:47.that, di Resta and Vergne, together, but on lap ten out of 71 it is

:15:48. > :15:52.Sebastian Vettel who leads by 7.1 seconds now. Over Fernando Alonso.

:15:53. > :15:59.TEAM RADIO: If you have a problem with the tyres, then don't hold up

:16:00. > :16:03.Lewis as they are coming back, That is quite a clever message, it lays

:16:04. > :16:07.it on Nico to do the right thing, if he thinks he can keep it under

:16:08. > :16:11.control, keep going, if you think you, well, going to continue to

:16:12. > :16:14.struggle, you are the driver, do the right thing by the team. Talking of

:16:15. > :16:18.tyres it is interesting to see Button's progress, he is on the

:16:19. > :16:23.harder compound tyre, one of the few, only him and Gutierrez. Both

:16:24. > :16:27.have made pretty good progress, so the hard tyre seems to be working

:16:28. > :16:31.well on this green track, without much rubber down. We will keep an

:16:32. > :16:35.eye on them. They should be able to go deeper into the race. Mark Webber

:16:36. > :16:39.has caught Fernando Alonso. Very close between the Ferrari and the

:16:40. > :16:43.Red Bull. Suddenly, after it looks like Fernando Alonso was going to be

:16:44. > :16:48.able to take the chance to the remembers he is struggling. I spoke

:16:49. > :16:52.to one of the development drivers for Ferrari, he said they need some

:16:53. > :16:55.rain. Mark Webber not close enough to attack. Let us see, here is Lewis

:16:56. > :16:58.Hamilton. He moves down the inside and that will satisfy him, I am

:16:59. > :17:02.sure, because it is often been the other way round during the races

:17:03. > :17:06.that Rosberg has kept his tyres better, into the pits has come

:17:07. > :17:12.Jean-Eric Vergne, and a quick change round. This is quite early. Lap 11,

:17:13. > :17:17.could be turning this into a three stop race. He is putting on to the

:17:18. > :17:20.harder tyre. Two stops is a few seconds quicker than three in an

:17:21. > :17:25.ideal, in which of course we don't live. They look like they are going,

:17:26. > :17:30.as you say, for a three stop this afternoon, we will see how far our

:17:31. > :17:38.race leaders will go. That will give a good indication of what they are

:17:39. > :17:42.thinking. Maybe lap 16 is the window for a two stop race. Of course the

:17:43. > :17:46.track will change and you may see longer stints in the second part of

:17:47. > :17:50.the race. Alonso versus Webber. This is for second place, remember, as

:17:51. > :17:54.Sebastian Vettel is continuing to open his advantage, it is up to 9.1

:17:55. > :17:59.seconds and Webber was not close enough. Watching the graphics to

:18:00. > :18:02.show where they are using their battery power. Onboard with Mark

:18:03. > :18:06.Webber. He has DRS and that means that less drag, is he using his

:18:07. > :18:12.battery KERS power? Not at the moment. He will serve that to use it

:18:13. > :18:17.out of turn 12. So that will give him a good boost as they come up to

:18:18. > :18:21.hill into the DRS zone across the start-finish line. We saw exactly

:18:22. > :18:26.that from Vettel in qualifying. A large part was he couldn't get full

:18:27. > :18:33.power in the damp conditions, but both Mark and Alonso looking like

:18:34. > :18:39.Alonso strategicically using his KERS for defence and Mark for

:18:40. > :18:43.attack. They have both done the same number of Grand Prix. 214 coming

:18:44. > :18:47.into this and no further action on the incident involving Perez and di

:18:48. > :18:51.Resta from earlier on, so no change to those position, nobody has a

:18:52. > :18:56.drive-through penalty. Top Tennessees Vettel leading from these

:18:57. > :19:01.two, Alonso and Webber. Might get a decent run here. Hamilton in fourth

:19:02. > :19:05.place, Massa, Hulkenberg, and Bottas and here comes Webber then He might

:19:06. > :19:10.be in position in this lap. TEAM RADIO: Let's keep it going.

:19:11. > :19:15.Mark Webber takes the place, he tastes the place from the Ferrari.

:19:16. > :19:19.Webber goes into second position. Alonso has no answer for that. You

:19:20. > :19:26.could see early on he had a great exit. Alonso was wide through 12.

:19:27. > :19:31.The consequence of that it is such a short apex corn, he was later --

:19:32. > :19:36.corner. Mark was able to use the momentum. It is quite a climb over

:19:37. > :19:41.the hill, through the kink and down across the start -- start-finish

:19:42. > :19:45.line. Bottas under pressure. Bottas and of course McLaren of Perez

:19:46. > :19:49.moving to the outside. Being urged on by the team and Perez is putting

:19:50. > :19:54.together a good stint. Bottas runs wide. There is no way he can cover

:19:55. > :19:59.the inside. Perez moves into the top ten. So both McLarens making

:20:00. > :20:04.progress in this race, what has been a tough season. Perez crashed in

:20:05. > :20:11.qualifying. Did a fair bit of damage to the car. He is working into the

:20:12. > :20:15.points. This is how Webber got past Alonso Straightforward pass. Alonso

:20:16. > :20:20.doesn't make it difficult for these old buddy. Not really friends show

:20:21. > :20:25.themselves on the race track, but a great deal of respect there, Bottas

:20:26. > :20:28.went defensive, and as he ran wide on the exit of turn four, Perez

:20:29. > :20:32.manages to keep it together for five, that is where he crashed in

:20:33. > :20:38.qualifying. A message as we see tyre, bits of rubber being thrown up

:20:39. > :20:42.in the air as they go across the KERS, look at the momentum, most of

:20:43. > :20:45.the damper movement. Look at this, first Button taking Hulkenberg.

:20:46. > :20:48.Hulkenberg carries more speed through the outside line. What is

:20:49. > :20:52.going to happen on the exit. Because Hulkenberg's exit speed will be

:20:53. > :20:56.compromised and here comes Jenson Button, down the inside, he has got

:20:57. > :21:02.the momentum and he will take the place, Button into seventh. He had

:21:03. > :21:07.momentum and he got DRS. I am seeing a radio message played out to

:21:08. > :21:12.Rosberg. He is ask why he is struggling with the rear tyres. That

:21:13. > :21:16.surprised me he doesn't know what the set up is on the other car, it

:21:17. > :21:20.is like a cross reference, it is like a base toucher where it gives

:21:21. > :21:28.you confidence if you have a similar set up or you understand where your

:21:29. > :21:33.set up is. There is Perez coming up against Ricciardo. McLarens are the

:21:34. > :21:39.ones making the most progress. Perez on the softer of the two, the while

:21:40. > :21:42.wall tie, he is closing up on Daniel Ricciardo. I think Toro Rosso are

:21:43. > :21:46.hoping it was going to rain. They don't have quite the dry weather

:21:47. > :21:53.pace of some the other teams but this is encouraging for McLaren,

:21:54. > :21:59.seeing them move up the order. This is one of their most difficult

:22:00. > :22:04.Championships. That will hand the place there for Sergio Perez, so

:22:05. > :22:09.again a slightly early stop. Might be able to get through on two stops

:22:10. > :22:13.for Ricciardo but it is earlier than they would have wished. They could

:22:14. > :22:18.see they were losing performance and they feel it is time to bring the

:22:19. > :22:27.car in. Look at that. Change Massa, gets past roast, so. -- Rosberg.

:22:28. > :22:31.Massa making progress as he gets into the end field section. The

:22:32. > :22:39.Mercedes cars having looked impressive on Friday, they seem to

:22:40. > :22:47.be struggling a bit here. TEAM RADIO: We need to stay out for

:22:48. > :22:53.the minute. There is the risk of showers. Rosberg was told light rain

:22:54. > :22:57.in ten minutes. Rosberg left the door open, that was late, I suspect

:22:58. > :23:00.that Massa wasn't entirely convinceds as he hit the brakes into

:23:01. > :23:07.the turn that he would be able to do the pass. If you look, 1: 50. It was

:23:08. > :23:12.late in the braking zone that Rosberg pulled over. Surprising

:23:13. > :23:16.that. In the young teams battle at the back. Giedo van der Garde is

:23:17. > :23:20.leading that from Charles Pic. Caterham is ahead of Marussia. They

:23:21. > :23:25.need a bit of luck here, they need to see cars dropping out. We have

:23:26. > :23:32.only seen one drop out so far. Grosjean looked to have an engine

:23:33. > :23:41.failure. So Grosjean is out, but all 21 other cars are running. Vettel

:23:42. > :23:45.has built up a 10 second lead. Let us see if Webber can close that gap.

:23:46. > :23:49.A big lock up for Vettel. We can see the tyres of showing signs of

:23:50. > :23:53.graining. You can see that band of different colour on the front right.

:23:54. > :23:55.The front right takes most of the abuse round this anticlockwise

:23:56. > :24:00.circuit. TEAM RADIO: No rain expected in the

:24:01. > :24:04.next 20 minutes. No rain in the next 20 minutes. It may be we will have

:24:05. > :24:08.it in the middle of the race or towards the end. Is he coming in. It

:24:09. > :24:13.was a late turn to cut across through the pit lane, so it looks

:24:14. > :24:20.like he was thinking about it. Just managing the wear on the front tyre,

:24:21. > :24:25.18, two. He is falling into a comfortable zone. Eight tenths

:24:26. > :24:32.faster than anyone else. Mark Webber 18.6. The opposition, Alonso 19.0.

:24:33. > :24:39.Hamilton 19.0. The Red Bull showing considerable pace here. No rain in

:24:40. > :24:43.the next 30 minutes, so that is more encouraging -- encouraging. But very

:24:44. > :24:48.difficult to preticket here at Sao Paulo. Webber in second place. Just

:24:49. > :24:52.to mention that Kovalainen came into the pits, so he has made a

:24:53. > :24:58.relatively early pit-stop. It has brought him out in 20th place after

:24:59. > :25:02.that slow start off the line. Onboard with Pastor Maldonado. Think

:25:03. > :25:06.he was battling there with Ricciardo. We will check that as we

:25:07. > :25:11.come there. I think Ricciardo had come out, let us go back onboard. It

:25:12. > :25:16.is Gutierrez. So he is battling with Esteban Gutierrez, and Gutierrez

:25:17. > :25:22.running 13th. Maldonado in 14th position. Neither have been into the

:25:23. > :25:25.pits. Ricciardo will be behind them. Now you have Esteban Gutierrez up

:25:26. > :25:30.against Pastor Maldonado, the man we know is leaving Williams, but still

:25:31. > :25:35.no confirmation on where he is going to be driving. He overruns the

:25:36. > :25:40.corner. You can see the wind direction from the plume of smoke. I

:25:41. > :25:45.am not sure what they burn there, but that has been constantly going

:25:46. > :25:52.all weekend. So Gutierrez 13th place, they are a

:25:53. > :25:56.bit behind Paul di Resta. We are hearing there is a few spots

:25:57. > :26:02.of rain in the paddock. That isn't a problem. A consistent level of rain

:26:03. > :26:06.is. The driver, when you get the few spots on your visor, you are hyper

:26:07. > :26:10.sensitive. They are like the Princess and the pea, anything, it

:26:11. > :26:15.could be a tiny grain of sand under the seat and they feel it, and as a

:26:16. > :26:21.few cars start heading to the pits, they have used up this particular

:26:22. > :26:25.tyres. And Sutil are in. Lap 18. This is the window for a two stop

:26:26. > :26:28.race but it depend on what happens with the conditions of course as

:26:29. > :26:33.well and Sutil getting ahead of Bottas, that was good work by Force

:26:34. > :26:38.India, they have managed to get him out in front of Williams. Bottas has

:26:39. > :26:44.to be thinking, I am going to be behind them. I am going to be with

:26:45. > :26:48.the one second window. Let us use the DRS to my advantage. They have

:26:49. > :26:53.come out with Jean-Eric Vergne who is fighting for position, so it gets

:26:54. > :27:01.very tight and Bottas loses out Yes, as Vergne cut across him his has

:27:02. > :27:06.dropped back. Any hope of being in that one second window to Sutil has

:27:07. > :27:14.gone. We are seeing a few pit spots being made. These guys are trying to

:27:15. > :27:17.make it through on a two stop. The early stops are going to head them

:27:18. > :27:23.into a three spotted. Sebastian Vettel's car, a bit of graining, the

:27:24. > :27:27.grip level is not there, but he is doing competitive lap times so he is

:27:28. > :27:32.as quick as anybody in the field. We have seen the bits of rubber coming

:27:33. > :27:38.off it. The medium tyre being abused. Even the right one has bits

:27:39. > :27:45.coming off. You want to take it ass far as possible. Can we' read

:27:46. > :27:49.anything from the hard tyre performance of Jenson Button and

:27:50. > :27:54.Esteban Gutierrez? It looks very strong. Jenson has drove a great

:27:55. > :28:00.race. The lap times are competitive. It was disturbed by other car, you

:28:01. > :28:03.can't use the maximum but it looks more dur rabble for sure. Here comes

:28:04. > :28:09.Bottas on Jean-Eric Vergne, he moves to the outside. Should make this a

:28:10. > :28:13.fairly DRS past. He goes round the outside into turn four. He leaves

:28:14. > :28:18.plenty of space. Vergne is still there. He is going to lose another

:28:19. > :28:24.one. Heikki Kovalainen going through. He is trying to charge his

:28:25. > :28:30.way through the field. The two Finns just made contact and Kovalainen is

:28:31. > :28:35.tucked in behind Vergne. Bottas has looked unsure as to where to

:28:36. > :28:45.position his car. He got the chop at turn four. We are sticking to plan.

:28:46. > :28:50.Just a few spots of rare. Kovalainen tried and this is an opportunity as

:28:51. > :28:55.we see Massa has been and pitted. Perez has come in for McLaren. The

:28:56. > :29:02.first of the big boys, Ferrari making a stop. I think Bottas has

:29:03. > :29:08.looked clumsy, I wonder if he is so keen not to blot his copy book he is

:29:09. > :29:14.just not driving instinctively. Kovalainen trying to move on Vergne

:29:15. > :29:17.but Vergne is one of the latest late breaker, Kovalainen has done it. He

:29:18. > :29:21.has mansioned to pull it off. -- managed to pull it off. Vergne is

:29:22. > :29:29.going to is a go back at him, I think as they go down the straight

:29:30. > :29:34.towards the turn. Kovalainen should be able to head him off. A bit of

:29:35. > :29:40.traffic ahead. Finally Kovalainen should be safe. He is the one and

:29:41. > :29:44.only Lotus in the race. We lost Grosjean a while ago, he is talking

:29:45. > :29:49.to Leigh. Romaine, a didisappointing way to

:29:50. > :29:55.end your season. What happened out there? I don't know. Engine blew. I

:29:56. > :30:01.don't know what happened. A saw smoke and no more power: 70 laps too

:30:02. > :30:08.early, but in is racing. And we are hoping this isn't your

:30:09. > :30:12.last race for Lotus, will we see you back with the team? I don't know,

:30:13. > :30:19.hopefully, we can be proud of what we did, and we have been part of the

:30:20. > :30:23.top team. Top driver as well, so we are proud of that, and we will see

:30:24. > :30:27.what the future brings. Jenson Button has made his pit-stop, so he

:30:28. > :30:31.used the harder compound tyre to go deeper than some, but there are

:30:32. > :30:35.others going further into the race, he rejoins behind Daniel Ricciardo,

:30:36. > :30:40.that brings him out in ten. His team-mate is not far behind him. But

:30:41. > :30:45.Button on a fresh set of tyre, Perez yet to make his pit-stop. Hulkenberg

:30:46. > :30:49.has stopped. Vettel leads by 10 seconds from Webber, then Alonso in

:30:50. > :30:52.third, then Hamilton in fourth place, Rosberg is still in fifth.

:30:53. > :30:59.They haven't stopped yesterday but Alonso looks to be coming in on this

:31:00. > :31:03.lap. We have Gutierrez having moved up

:31:04. > :31:07.the order because he's still out there. Look at this side by side

:31:08. > :31:11.racing. There's Perez trying to... No, it is Button, trying to tuck

:31:12. > :31:16.himself along side the Tory Party row ros soe.

:31:17. > :31:30.Along side the Toro Rosso. Massa has been lighting up the

:31:31. > :31:36.timing scenes - 17.0. The fastest lap of the race for him. Vel Button

:31:37. > :31:42.on the ininside. Gets past Ricciardo. That is an important move

:31:43. > :31:47.to make. It is brings him into 8 eighth place. Still waiting for a

:31:48. > :31:54.few of the others to make their stops. Perez is in the background of

:31:55. > :31:58.that group. He's trying to close up. You can see the clouds around. There

:31:59. > :32:02.is the threat of rain, but so far it is staying dry. Button will try and

:32:03. > :32:09.get past Gutierrez. I don't think there is a lot that Gutierrez can

:32:10. > :32:17.do. He's done it - no problem at all. You really need of the trust in

:32:18. > :32:22.the man you are passing that he'll not let his car drift wide and touch

:32:23. > :32:27.you. A replay through 14. Decides to go on the outside. That is Bottas

:32:28. > :32:33.with that rotating camera. DRS look back at the slot gap. You

:32:34. > :32:40.see the shot - the driver can operate that. Locks newspaper the

:32:41. > :32:44.last phase of the braking. He can rely on just pushing the brake pedal

:32:45. > :32:52.and it reconnecting the wing as well. Rosberg, into the pits.

:32:53. > :32:59.Cleanly away. That looked like a quick pit-stop.

:33:00. > :33:05.Hulkenberg, going side by side with Maldonado.

:33:06. > :33:10.Nico Hulkenberg is in tenth position. Rosberg rejoins. Now,

:33:11. > :33:14.interestingly Rosberg is out behind Button. Button's progress continues.

:33:15. > :33:18.If you think that Nico Rosberg started on the front row here today.

:33:19. > :33:22.Jenson Button started in 15th, yet now, we are one-third of the way

:33:23. > :33:28.through the race and he's got past Nico Rosberg. T it is a sign that

:33:29. > :33:33.the Mercedes is struggling, but the McLaren is doing well. This will be

:33:34. > :33:41.for Webber. Vettel is at the first corner. Mark Webber is the first

:33:42. > :33:48.to... He was trading lap times, he was quicker than Sebastian Vettel.

:33:49. > :33:54.He brought that gap down. Oh, no! Not a mammothly slow stop. 5.1

:33:55. > :34:00.seconds. After the record of 1.9 seconds, it felt like an age, didn't

:34:01. > :34:05.it? And Alonso's gone through. There is Alonso. He's going to come out in

:34:06. > :34:12.front of Webber. Going to have to do it all again. Thaw hard work to get

:34:13. > :34:16.past the Ferrari, un undone by a few seconds in the pit-stop. Rare that

:34:17. > :34:21.Red Bull make a mistake, but they did on that occasion. What happens

:34:22. > :34:31.was Ferrari came in, put the new tyres. A second quicker than Red

:34:32. > :34:35.Bull's. The time they reacted... So, have Red Bull put that mistake

:34:36. > :34:40.behind them? Of Sebastian Vettel is going to be coming in on this lap.

:34:41. > :34:45.So, whether, having dropped back - he's now in third place. Massa is

:34:46. > :34:52.still in fourth. Let's see if the Red Bull pit-stop goes more cleanly.

:34:53. > :34:55.Vettel comes in. Let's watch.

:34:56. > :35:02.It is OK. Wasn't the best I have ever seen from Red Bull. A quick

:35:03. > :35:08.time. 2.6 seconds. It is amazing how quickly we go, oh, half a second

:35:09. > :35:17.slower than normal I is exceptional. All these -- -- than normal I is

:35:18. > :35:21.exceptional. That has worked well for Vettel.

:35:22. > :35:27.Alonso is now in second position. Having to do that work again to try

:35:28. > :35:34.and get past the Ferrari - they are. Ferrari verses Red Bull. Second and

:35:35. > :35:38.third. Massa is not far behind. Different tyres. Webber has gone for

:35:39. > :35:43.the option tyre. Here are two guys who here in Brazil in 2008 had the

:35:44. > :35:48.highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Hamilton won the championship

:35:49. > :35:52.here in Brazil, snatching it from Massa, as he crossed the line in

:35:53. > :35:56.what he needed to be fifth place, despited Massa winning that day. Now

:35:57. > :36:01.we will see them racing against each other in Massa's final race with

:36:02. > :36:06.Ferrari. There are a couple of pairings to keep an eye on. Massa

:36:07. > :36:10.verses Hamilton. In the background Jenson Button is catching them a

:36:11. > :36:19.little bit. He is in sixth place. It looked to me like it was the right

:36:20. > :36:25.rear, possibly. It was still working - the right of side man had an issue

:36:26. > :36:32.of some description. A little bit of a slow reaction to the back-man

:36:33. > :36:37.pulling away at the -- jack-man pulling away at the front. Alonso

:36:38. > :36:44.doesn't try and fight it. He stays out wide. The fastest lap, 69 from

:36:45. > :36:50.Mark Webber, benefiting from DRS, nonetheless. Alonso coming back at

:36:51. > :36:55.him. Alonso will try and go around the outside of him. Cannot do it.

:36:56. > :36:59.Webber, defending on the inside. Two DRS zones working effectively here

:37:00. > :37:03.in Brazil. Massa, chased by Hamilton. Then some way further

:37:04. > :37:07.back, Alonso not giving up or getting past Webber. Really tucked

:37:08. > :37:12.in. So little space to get past here. By the time they have gone

:37:13. > :37:16.through this twisty section, you would have imagined that Red Bull

:37:17. > :37:21.would have opened up a gap. It is a fastest package. It is a question of

:37:22. > :37:27.Mark making use of that. I think his lap times were looking strong,

:37:28. > :37:31.relative to Vettel. He was matching him once he got in clean air.

:37:32. > :37:35.Probably that ten-second gap gives too much of a buffer, unless

:37:36. > :37:39.something happens for him to challenge Vettel this afternoon.

:37:40. > :37:43.Everyone has made a pit stop. Vettel leads. They come across the line, we

:37:44. > :37:48.will see what the gap is back to Mark Webber, in second place. Red

:37:49. > :37:54.Bull, one, two. 1.4 seconds. Alonso ux third. Massa, fourth place.

:37:55. > :37:59.Chased by Lewis Hamilton. Sixth Jenson Button, seventh for Rosberg.

:38:00. > :38:06.Eight for Sergio Perez. Ninth for Hulkenberg. 10th for Daniel

:38:07. > :38:19.Ricciardo. 11th for Sutil, then 12th di Resta.

:38:20. > :38:27.Sff Gutierrez is now in 15th position, a head ahead of Vergne.

:38:28. > :38:32.Charles Pic is in 18th place. Chilton about to make his pit stop.

:38:33. > :38:42.Of course, all of those young team drivers, they need to see a lot more

:38:43. > :38:51.retirements ahead of them if the Constructors changes for that place.

:38:52. > :38:56.The Christian, thank you for joining us. Mark Webber lost out a bit in

:38:57. > :39:10.Nico Hulkenberg that pit-stop. Do you know what the problem was? He

:39:11. > :39:14.had a problem. Alonso is staying close to Webber. We thought he might

:39:15. > :39:19.make a move. It looks as if the Ferraris are going well at this

:39:20. > :39:24.stage. The Ferrari looks happy on the harder tyre at the moment. A

:39:25. > :39:27.great job to get past him quickly. Obviously, he's starting to get his

:39:28. > :39:31.head down. Hopefully he'll be able to ease out the gap over the next

:39:32. > :39:35.few gaps. What are the forecasts and your

:39:36. > :39:42.scouts saying about the prospect of any rain in the remainder of this

:39:43. > :39:48.race? That's the billion-dollar we. There is rain about it is whether it

:39:49. > :39:51.will hit the circuit or not. The drivers are sitting track side. At

:39:52. > :39:56.the moment, it seems to be staying away. We have seen one retirement in

:39:57. > :40:04.this case. It looked like engine failure for Romain Grosjean. You are

:40:05. > :40:08.at the end of the mailage -- mile mileage. I was not thinking about

:40:09. > :40:13.that. What happened with the Lotus - it is on the engine. Hopefully it

:40:14. > :40:16.will not happen to ours. We will wish you luck. One-two at the

:40:17. > :40:20.moment. It is looking good. Thank you. Massa defending from Hamilton

:40:21. > :40:26.here. He's opened it up another length or so. Mark Webber goes

:40:27. > :40:30.through. Another fastest lap of the Grand Prix.

:40:31. > :40:36.Hamilton, in that DRS zone, but not able to sort of get himself into a

:40:37. > :40:47.position to effect the pass en masse mass, so -- to effect the pass to

:40:48. > :40:52.Massa. We saw Alonso in the front of shot

:40:53. > :40:58.there, right in the slip stream of Mark Webber. 0.7 of a second behind

:40:59. > :41:03.last lap. The Ferrari working very well at this phase of the Grand

:41:04. > :41:09.Prix. Massa is on a different tyre. He is indeed. He's on the option

:41:10. > :41:13.tyre. His team-mate on the prime. Lap times difference between the two

:41:14. > :41:18.half a second, which is what you would expect if the tyres were the

:41:19. > :41:22.other way around, quite frankly. Alonso, once again, looks like he is

:41:23. > :41:33.outdriving the performance of his own car. Hamilton here... Very quick

:41:34. > :41:42.out the last corner. Copy that. Reduce the boost, save it for the

:41:43. > :41:48.main drag. That is him commenting. I think Hamilton has a problem. I

:41:49. > :41:55.think he has a problem too. Just carry on Lotuses way. A problem too

:41:56. > :41:59.is what I heard. You can read into radio transmission what you like.

:42:00. > :42:04.That would tally up. We can see Massa out of turn three. Hamilton

:42:05. > :42:10.using less. They both got, let's say 50% of their boost available coming

:42:11. > :42:18.out of turn 12. Hamilton continuing to hassle Massa. Did I mis-hear that

:42:19. > :42:25.message? I am not sure. Massa having to defend now. It is so crucial

:42:26. > :42:29.because it is all about second in the Constructor's points. Ferrari

:42:30. > :42:34.would make a gain of 11 points on Mercedes. They are 15 behind. If

:42:35. > :42:39.Hamilton got past Massa that would give them more of a buffer. There is

:42:40. > :42:44.an incident involving Massa crossing the white line at pit-entry. A

:42:45. > :42:47.couple of penalty points were given yesterday for that. Let's look.

:42:48. > :42:52.There is a marker where they are allowed to cross it and where they

:42:53. > :42:57.are not there is a line, a red line that runs down. I think he crossed

:42:58. > :43:03.that late. Another replay of Bottas and Gutierrez going wheel-to-wheel.

:43:04. > :43:08.They touched! More than wheel-to-wheel. They are brushing

:43:09. > :43:12.against each other. Gutierrez, as he moved across to take his line, you

:43:13. > :43:16.know, you've got to stay in a constant line. You cannot expect

:43:17. > :43:20.people to disappear. If you look at the white lines there, for instance,

:43:21. > :43:24.you can cross over a single band of white line. You cannot cross over

:43:25. > :43:29.when it is doubled up. We have a message again - please

:43:30. > :43:33.watch the pit entry. Do not cross with all four wheels. We have

:43:34. > :43:38.another message. So they have been told to watch

:43:39. > :43:41.that. It is where you cross it. It is standard practise here to cross

:43:42. > :43:46.it, but it is where you cross it that matters. It is. It is the point

:43:47. > :43:52.at which the line thickens and you have white shef Rons there. He's

:43:53. > :43:56.holding it for longer than what the race director thinks is acceptable.

:43:57. > :44:00.They have cut the line, which has never been an issue in the past,

:44:01. > :44:04.providing you weren't physically coming from out wide and cutting

:44:05. > :44:12.into the pit itself. That is right. We will keep an eye on that one.

:44:13. > :44:24.Gutierrez and Gill were adminished yesterday for it yesterday.

:44:25. > :44:29.How close is he to the back? A lock-up for both cars. Oh, they

:44:30. > :44:32.squeeze in, just with Massa ahead. Still Lewis Hamilton, both were on

:44:33. > :44:37.the limit there. The Ferrari fans, the Brazilians

:44:38. > :44:47.love this. He's got a drive-through penalty. Felipe Massa - this has a

:44:48. > :44:50.massive bearing for Ferrari on the Constructor's Championship. What a

:44:51. > :44:53.disappointing way to lose places, when we are enjoying such a great

:44:54. > :45:06.dice with Lewis Hamilton. TEAM RADIO: Massa has a drive

:45:07. > :45:12.through, so don't challenge him. Don't challenge him. OK. So that

:45:13. > :45:16.spoils the show for us, because, really, beginning to enjoy that,

:45:17. > :45:21.Massa has been driving well and Hamilton was trying to size him up

:45:22. > :45:25.for the pass. Now it will be easy pickings, Massa will have to make a

:45:26. > :45:30.drive-through penalty, that will cost him round 16, 17 seconds here

:45:31. > :45:36.at Sao Paulo. And that will certainly drop him way down the

:45:37. > :45:42.order. He should get into the top ten. He hasn't taken it yet. He will

:45:43. > :45:46.probably come out between Perez and Hulkenberg battle, and that will

:45:47. > :45:50.keep him maybe in ninth. Will they leave him out on purpose as late as

:45:51. > :45:53.possible, to make sure Hamilton doesn't gain the ground? It is going

:45:54. > :45:58.to hurt Hamilton by station out there You are not going to want to

:45:59. > :46:02.help, the free run of Hamilton on to the back of Alonso if we presume the

:46:03. > :46:08.Mercedes have the has to challenge the other Ferrari this afternoon.

:46:09. > :46:12.Jules Bianchi is about to be lapped in the Marussia. That will have

:46:13. > :46:17.Ferrari power in it. End of the Cosworth era in Formula One for the

:46:18. > :46:22.moment. Powers the Marussia currently but no sign of Cosworth

:46:23. > :46:24.being involved in the new engine packages.

:46:25. > :46:28.TEAM RADIO: We have a drive-through penalty for crossing the white line

:46:29. > :46:32.unfortunately. At the entrance to the pit lane. So there you go. Can

:46:33. > :46:39.you take a penalty at the end of this lap, please, so pass through at

:46:40. > :46:44.the end of this lap. It is unbelievable. Unbelievable!

:46:45. > :46:49.Unacceptable! A very unhappy Felipe Massa on his

:46:50. > :46:53.home turf, you can understand why he would be complain, we will see him

:46:54. > :46:59.come in on this lap. No, we are not. He is staying ou there. I wonder if

:47:00. > :47:03.he is staying out on purpose. On protest. Think I I wonder. Well,

:47:04. > :47:07.Hamilton hasn't been able to get past him. He is in fifth place.

:47:08. > :47:12.Behind him, is this helping Jenson Button? It is a bit, although he is

:47:13. > :47:17.8.8 seconds behind them in sixth position. Rosberg is seventh. Perez

:47:18. > :47:21.is eightth. Hulkenberg is ninth and Ricciardo is tenth. He has three

:47:22. > :47:25.laps from having received the message to come in and take the

:47:26. > :47:29.penalty. Expect him to come in. We can see some spots of rain, so

:47:30. > :47:32.unless the cameraman down at that particular corner has sneezed only

:47:33. > :47:37.the lens, I think we can assume the rain is coming in. It looks as

:47:38. > :47:41.though we could be in for a shower here in Brazil. Hamilton is still

:47:42. > :47:45.stuck behind Massa, we are looking at the time comparisons to Alonso of

:47:46. > :47:49.course, who is further up the road. Alonso in third place. Let us

:47:50. > :47:56.listen. TEAM RADIO: Copy that lieuies, he is

:47:57. > :47:59.trying to push you back. Don't get suckered into it. Ferrari trying to

:48:00. > :48:03.make the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton go slower than it needs to, at this

:48:04. > :48:07.point in the race. They are fighting hard for second place in the

:48:08. > :48:12.constructor, they will use every tactic available and in comes Felipe

:48:13. > :48:16.Massa, finally, Lewis Hamilton is released.

:48:17. > :48:20.He brings the car down to 80 kilometre, this will feel like the

:48:21. > :48:24.longest journey of his Grand Prix career. Passing through the pits.

:48:25. > :48:29.Not allowed to stop and take on tyre, you sit there up against the

:48:30. > :48:34.limiter. Gathering your thoughts. A wave to the stewards. He will be

:48:35. > :48:39.having a word with them. Release the 80 kilometre pit limit and get out

:48:40. > :48:43.of this very difficult pit lane exit. There is Perez if the McLaren.

:48:44. > :48:46.So coming out in ninth place, Hulkenberg will be just behind that

:48:47. > :48:50.particular battle, about five seconds, there he is? The back of

:48:51. > :48:54.screen. So Felipe Massa has to give it

:48:55. > :48:57.everything he has got to try and close up, more spots of rain on the

:48:58. > :49:03.camera lens though, let us keep an eye on the lap times. 1: 17s they

:49:04. > :49:08.are doing, but it could start to drop away, seeing that bit of rain

:49:09. > :49:11.on the lens. Kovalainen has made another pit-stop. His second of the

:49:12. > :49:16.day. They have done that, if there is any

:49:17. > :49:19.threat of rain, if it is going to start getting slippery you would

:49:20. > :49:22.want to think they would want to hang on and put intermediates on,

:49:23. > :49:27.but it looks like a three stop strategy as we said earlier on for

:49:28. > :49:31.Heikki Kovalainen. Unless something remarkable happens in changing

:49:32. > :49:35.weather conditions this will be a fairly subdued end to a strong

:49:36. > :49:39.season for Lotus. Yes, it has not been the ideal finish to them. Kimi

:49:40. > :49:42.Raikkonen not doing the last two races due to having that operation

:49:43. > :49:46.on his back. Kovalainen standing in for him. Lap times are holding up at

:49:47. > :49:50.the moment, I can tell you they are not really slipping and sliding

:49:51. > :49:57.round any more than we have seen so far. 1: 17.327. The Red Bulls have

:49:58. > :50:02.lapped in identical lap time to the thousandth of a second they are

:50:03. > :50:06.separated by 11.9 first to second place.

:50:07. > :50:11.Big gap was down early in the Grand Prix when Mark had to make his way

:50:12. > :50:15.through the traffic. Looking at the times I suspect Mark would have been

:50:16. > :50:18.running Sebastian closer than some of the other Grand Prixes this

:50:19. > :50:22.season. A track, he has won here a couple of time, he knows the circuit

:50:23. > :50:26.well, so unfortunately he finds himself with that 12 second gap to

:50:27. > :50:30.his team-mate. Onboard with Alonso. In third place,

:50:31. > :50:32.then, 4.2 seconds behind Mark Webber. Let us watch and listen as

:50:33. > :50:46.he comes up the hill. Careful not cut that pit lane too

:50:47. > :50:50.much The first part you are allowed to cut, where it grows out into the

:50:51. > :50:53.thickness of the protection at the end of the pit lane, we will hear

:50:54. > :51:02.from McLaren. TEAM RADIO: I recommend you look up

:51:03. > :51:09.to the front right a little. Stop talking to me. So Jenson Button now

:51:10. > :51:12.talking to his race engineer and asking not to talk during the

:51:13. > :51:15.braking zone. Where is the best place to talk to them, this

:51:16. > :51:21.straight? Anywhere apart from where he has to make a big decision. This

:51:22. > :51:25.is Williams against Williams. Bottas, Maldonado and Maldonado

:51:26. > :51:30.making the move down the inside. And they kept it clean, thankfully. We

:51:31. > :51:33.will take another view of this with the rotating camera.

:51:34. > :51:39.So Frank Williams staying at the same hotel this weekend, and he

:51:40. > :51:44.takes his exercise in the evenings, and takes, wheels himself round for

:51:45. > :51:47.a good hour or so, and I have to say he was looking in fantastic shape. I

:51:48. > :51:52.paid him that compliment. He said it is the first he felt since he broke

:51:53. > :51:58.his neck which was a long time ago, but great to hear he is in such good

:51:59. > :52:05.spirits and health. 1986 when he had that accident on the way back from a

:52:06. > :52:06.testing session. The two Force Indias are running round together.

:52:07. > :52:13.We don't know about Paul di Indias are running round together.

:52:14. > :52:17.opportunity for him to try and show what he can do, but he is

:52:18. > :52:20.opportunity for him to try and show try and get past his team-mate in

:52:21. > :52:22.doing that, which could be tricky. They have backbench relatively

:52:23. > :52:25.doing that, which could be tricky. evenly matched this year. Paul di

:52:26. > :52:25.doing that, which could be tricky. Resta has outqualified Adrian Sutil

:52:26. > :52:29.more often. He Resta has outqualified Adrian Sutil

:52:30. > :52:31.in terms of outright pace there Resta has outqualified Adrian Sutil

:52:32. > :52:38.hasn't been a huge difference. Resta has outqualified Adrian Sutil

:52:39. > :52:41.you, I think that when the big opportunities come, as Sutil piles

:52:42. > :52:46.in to the pit lane. He doesn't pile in. As he pulls into the pit lane,

:52:47. > :52:49.releases Paul, to go and do his lap time, he was only about half a

:52:50. > :52:55.second behind Sutil, so would have been losing time in that dirty air.

:52:56. > :53:00.Yes, in for his pit-stop, so second pit-stop for Samantha Lewthwaite. He

:53:01. > :53:05.puts the hard -- Adrian Sutil. Di Resta, you look at it has scored 48

:53:06. > :53:10.points so has had a stronger season, Paul di Resta. The front Jackman at

:53:11. > :53:14.Force India, he had to pull a move like he was on Strictly Come

:53:15. > :53:19.Dancing. He spun that jack away from the front of car as Adrian released

:53:20. > :53:23.the clutch. We are watching Nico Rosberg here and he is is running in

:53:24. > :53:28.sixth place, lot a bit of time in the early part. You can see Sergio

:53:29. > :53:32.Perez is not far behind. Not quite within DRS range but not far off it.

:53:33. > :53:37.I wonder whether Perez is going to be able to gain more grouped, now we

:53:38. > :53:41.have seen another pit-stop from Felipe Massa, that driver, it has

:53:42. > :53:51.dropped the Ferrari down to eighth position, he is behind this group.

:53:52. > :53:56.TEAM RADIO: Remember the front right is the limit t Hulkenberg is in

:53:57. > :54:02.ninth place at the moment. Looking at the points predict for, if they

:54:03. > :54:05.finish where they are, Hamilton and Webber would be tied. Hamilton would

:54:06. > :54:11.take the position in the Championship due to that one victory

:54:12. > :54:14.he had earlier in the season. Mark having stood on the top spot of the

:54:15. > :54:19.podium this year. Still no evidence that the track is getting more

:54:20. > :54:25.slippery. The leaders are lapping in the 1: 17s. A bit of a quirk lap

:54:26. > :54:29.from Webber than Vettel. There is no change in the gap between them. It

:54:30. > :54:34.is over 11 seconds the gap, first to second. -- quicker lap.

:54:35. > :54:37.Alonso driving a solid race in third place. We have Hamilton of course in

:54:38. > :54:42.fourth position, he will be trying to catch up to the Ferrari. Ferrari

:54:43. > :54:47.losing out what looked to be a real chance for them to close the gap to

:54:48. > :54:52.Mercedes in the Constructors Championship. Given a big dent by

:54:53. > :54:55.the fact Felipe Massa had that drive-through penalty. Massa behind

:54:56. > :55:00.Perez, and Perez now within DRS range of Rosberg, so that is one to

:55:01. > :55:06.key an eye on. Here they come. -- keep an eye on. That is surprising

:55:07. > :55:10.that Massa, unless he had an incidents we haven't seen,

:55:11. > :55:18.surprising he has dropped back so quickly. Maybe that, those words

:55:19. > :55:20.from Rob Smedley about Lewis having a problem with his KERS too, is

:55:21. > :55:30.Massa driving with an issue. Maybe. So no chance for him to overtake

:55:31. > :55:35.just yet. Onboard here with Mark Webber. Can you see any spots of

:55:36. > :55:39.rain on his visor? We are going to get some team radio.

:55:40. > :55:44.TEAM RADIO: Stay away from the white line. You must stay away from the

:55:45. > :55:48.white line at entry. We will get no more warnings. That must mean he has

:55:49. > :55:53.had a wanting You can see the cable coming off the visor, that is what

:55:54. > :55:57.attaches to the heating system which stops the driver's helmet fogging

:55:58. > :56:00.up. It is one of the luxuries of the top teams. I doubt the teams towards

:56:01. > :56:04.the back of the grid have that type of facility. Looking from the

:56:05. > :56:08.commentary box we sit on the outside of the circuit overlooking the

:56:09. > :56:13.start-finish. Looking downturn four it is getting hazier, so the weather

:56:14. > :56:17.pattern is coming in. Will it come in in time, before the end of the

:56:18. > :56:21.race? Jenson Button crosses the line, he is in fifth place, fifth

:56:22. > :56:25.place matches McLaren's best result of the year, he has had a fifth

:56:26. > :56:28.place. Sergio Perez has had a fifth place. Perez running in seventh but

:56:29. > :56:33.this is a bit of a boost for McLaren. I am not sure, unless we

:56:34. > :56:36.have a late safety car he will be able to close the gap up to Lewis

:56:37. > :56:42.Hamilton ahead of him, because it is something like 11 seconds. So Button

:56:43. > :56:47.might need a bit of luck but McLaren have groet have a fourth place

:56:48. > :56:54.finish, let alone a podium. -- yet to have. The neck starts to

:56:55. > :56:58.hurt here. There is nothing quite like the relentless attack on the

:56:59. > :57:03.neck muscles this anticlockwise short lap gives you. Bumpy as well,

:57:04. > :57:10.so as you o Gou there the elevation change, they have got these nice

:57:11. > :57:14.padded Kevlar covered things at the side of the head. What do you call

:57:15. > :57:18.it? Head restraint. I forgot what you call it. Headrest. That is the

:57:19. > :57:21.fella. They can lean their head against that. It is particularly

:57:22. > :57:26.difficult to come out of turn 12, through the kink at 13, and through

:57:27. > :57:29.14, flat out. They might rest their head over, on to the side of the

:57:30. > :57:35.cockpit. So lap 42 out of 71. I wonder if we

:57:36. > :57:39.will start seeing a few more pit-stops take place for another set

:57:40. > :57:44.of tyrings that will lead them to the chequered flag. Perez getting

:57:45. > :57:49.closer and closer to the back of Rosberg's car, it was 0.6 of a

:57:50. > :57:53.second as they crossed the line. Kovalainen down in 16th place. He

:57:54. > :57:56.has made two pit-stops already. Jean-Eric Vergne is 17th. Charles

:57:57. > :58:01.Pic is 18th and Christian Horner taking a good look at the weather

:58:02. > :58:07.conditions He is Vice Chancellor a good look. Maybe it would be a

:58:08. > :58:17.chance to have a word. Adrian Sutil, this was a moment ago. With Bottas,

:58:18. > :58:21.in the Williams. So that is him picking the DRS. That puts him into

:58:22. > :58:25.14th place. Heikki Kovalainen I think has passed

:58:26. > :58:39.Bottas, because Bottas has made a pit-stop.

:58:40. > :58:43.TEAM RADIO: OK, OK. What is interesting here, we with a

:58:44. > :58:47.bit of rain falling, the guys that are all out on slick, they are on

:58:48. > :58:51.the dry weather tyre, I was talking to an answering near, they said if

:58:52. > :58:54.you have made a reit is pit-stop and still have plenty of rubber, you

:58:55. > :58:57.will be able to deal with a bit of rain, if you are towards the end of

:58:58. > :59:01.your stint it gets more difficult. That is because of the gauge, the

:59:02. > :59:06.depth of tread that is available, on the slick tyre. When you have the

:59:07. > :59:10.fresher tyre, there is tyre surface movement, that movement generates

:59:11. > :59:13.the heat in the tyre. Once you have worn away some of the tyre on the

:59:14. > :59:17.marbles on the side of the track, you have lost gauge, there is not as

:59:18. > :59:21.much movement in the actual tread, and you can't keep the heat in the

:59:22. > :59:27.tyre. So the temperature of the tyre is the key factor, in generating

:59:28. > :59:30.grip, especially when you don't have standing water. The spits of rain

:59:31. > :59:35.come on to the visor of the driver, it is more about getting more

:59:36. > :59:39.respect to the white lines, and just making sure you don't get caught

:59:40. > :59:43.out, with the car snapping when you load it up on the white line. We

:59:44. > :59:48.were told there was going to be rain round at clee.00. It is coming up

:59:49. > :59:52.for 3.00 local time. That is a fairly amazing prediction if it

:59:53. > :59:56.turns out to be true. There are a few spots round. Not enough to

:59:57. > :00:10.change the lap time considerably, Vettel still in the 1: 17s at this

:00:11. > :00:14.stage. He dropped back on this lap to

:00:15. > :00:20.Rosberg last time around. Which tyres is he going to put on?

:00:21. > :00:23.Presumably - he made some great tyre choices here last year. I guess

:00:24. > :00:31.he'll go on for another set of slicks. Felipe Massa, for his third

:00:32. > :00:36.time in the pit, but his second tyre-changing pit stop. They put the

:00:37. > :00:41.slick tyres on. They are reasonable confident, I guess, that it is a few

:00:42. > :00:47.spots in the air and it will not rain hard over the next couple of

:00:48. > :00:51.laps. Massa going on the harder of the tyres and the prime tyre. He's

:00:52. > :00:55.comfortable with the balance those tyres are giving him. They are

:00:56. > :01:03.slower. We don't know how much slower. We have not done a

:01:04. > :01:08.comparison. The Ferrari fans and Brazilian fans getting their tops

:01:09. > :01:13.on. Is that Sutil passing Vettel and unlapping himself? It looks like it.

:01:14. > :01:19.He's stopped for tyres. That is what you talked about - the tyres are

:01:20. > :01:22.generating more grip in the slightly changeable conditions. Vettel's

:01:23. > :01:28.pacing is dropping down a little bit. 1. 1.19.1 he did on that last

:01:29. > :01:33.lap. It doesn't look like he's hassling

:01:34. > :01:39.on to the back of Sutil again. So interesting!

:01:40. > :01:50.A fight here for fifth place. The hard compound tyre goes on. Button,

:01:51. > :01:54.remember is on the softer compound tyre. Rosberg - let's see, he's gone

:01:55. > :02:01.on to the harder compound as well. They are both on the same type of

:02:02. > :02:06.tire. Perez was a little -- tyre. Perez was a little wide there. He's

:02:07. > :02:12.lost ground because of it. Button has gone through - excuse me!

:02:13. > :02:19.There's battle very much on between the two McLaren drivers. Perez just

:02:20. > :02:27.needed to try and find his way past Rosberg. A good job of keeping out

:02:28. > :02:38.of the way. No problems there at all. Both the Marussias and

:02:39. > :02:43.Caterhams are in this race. He tried to go around the outside of Paul di

:02:44. > :02:49.Resta there and didn't find his way through. A big lock-up there for the

:02:50. > :02:53.Force India. Paul di Resta current currently in ninth position, with

:02:54. > :02:57.Felipe Massa tucked in behind. Di Resta is due another pit stop around

:02:58. > :03:06.now. He is struggling on this tyres we have done quite a lot of laps.

:03:07. > :03:12.Look how much quicker he is out of the Juncao corner. Surely this will

:03:13. > :03:16.be a relatively easy past. Di Resta to the inside. No problem at all for

:03:17. > :03:20.Felipe Massa. Would have lost a little bit of time, of course,

:03:21. > :03:28.getting through, so he's got to focus on trying to catch Perez.

:03:29. > :03:34.# Can the Ferrari catch the McLaren? There's a Marussia between them. Max

:03:35. > :03:38.Chilton is still on for completing every single Grand Prix this year as

:03:39. > :03:43.a rookie driver and beating the records in doing so. If he can do

:03:44. > :03:51.it. He is running 21st and last. He is still there. He is 14 seconds

:03:52. > :04:00.behind his team-mate, Jules Bianchi. This time it is by Rosberg who goes

:04:01. > :04:06.past -- Ricciardo who has gone past him. He's staying out there.

:04:07. > :04:11.Ricciardo - 669 last time around -- - 69 last time around.

:04:12. > :04:50.Copy that message... Lewis Hamilton. Suddenly we are

:04:51. > :04:58.seeing some tyre problems. Is there debris out there - I wonder.

:04:59. > :05:05.We have yellow flags. Problem! Problem! It is a slow, slow stop for

:05:06. > :05:08.Sebastian Vettel. This could be an opportunity for Mark Webber. Mark

:05:09. > :05:14.Webber is in there waiting. Lost time - actually a couple of seconds,

:05:15. > :05:18.maybe! Can they service Webber and get him away? Yes, they can! For

:05:19. > :05:27.once Vettel's luck almost running out. Alonso stopping as well and

:05:28. > :05:35.gaining, I think, on both of them. Vettel, having a slow, slow pit stop

:05:36. > :05:40.there. He still will retain the lead of this race. That was a scare for

:05:41. > :05:45.the world champion. The team were not ready. We have Lewis Hamilton -

:05:46. > :05:50.the right, rear tyre has gone as well. We have not seen a replay of

:05:51. > :05:56.that, which is unusual with so much action. Slick work from the Mercedes

:05:57. > :06:02.crew. Slick work, but he has lost a lot of time, coming in with that

:06:03. > :06:07.tyre. Went very early in the lap. Looks like Bottas might have been on

:06:08. > :06:13.an out-lap when this happened. He did a quick sector. Has there been

:06:14. > :06:19.contact? Thafrnlt is where Hamilton got his puncture. They both hit each

:06:20. > :06:27.other. That explains it. When I saw Bottas's car I thought it was a tyre

:06:28. > :06:33.that had come off. A of collision between the tyres. Anybody at fault

:06:34. > :06:39.there? You cannot crowd a car off the circuit. There was plenty of

:06:40. > :06:44.room for Bottas. You can see how Hamilton came across from the right.

:06:45. > :06:54.Whether you can say it was enough to warrant a penalty or not, we have to

:06:55. > :06:57.wait and see. Unsurprising what the opinion is on

:06:58. > :07:04.that. Let's see the forward angle again. At the end of the day, if

:07:05. > :07:09.there is space on the track for him to manoeuvre his car, then you have

:07:10. > :07:13.not been crowded at that point. He was moving to the right and he was

:07:14. > :07:17.moving to the left. Both touched. There was room for both cars. It was

:07:18. > :07:22.a racing accident, I think, created by both of them. Very unfortunate.

:07:23. > :07:27.It means for Mercedes it could be trouble for second place in terms of

:07:28. > :07:34.the Constructor's points, because... . Harvest five. We have picked up

:07:35. > :07:40.some floor damage. We will get an update. Damage on the car. Mark

:07:41. > :07:45.Webber trying to close the gap. 6.3 seconds. More worryingly for Mark

:07:46. > :07:49.Webber is that Fernando Alonso is enjoying relishing these conditions

:07:50. > :07:54.and has kept the gap very, very close. He's on the softer tyre

:07:55. > :07:58.Fernando Alonso I is hard to see if there have --. It is hard to see if

:07:59. > :08:05.there has been much difference on the tires today. Only half a second

:08:06. > :08:09.gap between them. The lead Vettel enjoyed for 11 seconds, that has

:08:10. > :08:15.been virtually halved. It looked like the tyres weren't brought out

:08:16. > :08:21.for Vettel or the wrong tyre brought out. Maybe a call by the Red Bull

:08:22. > :08:25.team to bring both cars in. We will get a opportunity to see the replay.

:08:26. > :08:29.Bottas, with the DRS open. Hamilton defended the inside. He is moving

:08:30. > :08:35.back across. There is space to the edge of the track. Now, whether the

:08:36. > :08:40.stewards take the view that maybe Hamilton had crowded him off the

:08:41. > :08:46.circuit - quite why they used that terminology, I am not sure. That is

:08:47. > :08:50.it. They will decide after, or maybe during the race as to whether a

:08:51. > :08:54.penalty is required or not. If there is a penalty it will be for

:08:55. > :08:57.Hamilton. What this has done is promoted Jenson Button into fourth

:08:58. > :09:02.place - the highest finishing position of the year for a McLaren.

:09:03. > :09:07.He is a long way off these guys who are fighting for podiums. Button is

:09:08. > :09:11.18.3 seconds behind him. Could be on for his best result of the season.

:09:12. > :09:15.McLaren's best result of the year. One year on since he won here.

:09:16. > :09:19.Alonso has a run on Webber. Not close enough, but he's very, very

:09:20. > :09:26.tight to the back of the Red Bull. Lap times are holding up. I said it

:09:27. > :09:30.looked slippery. They are in the one minute and 15s. Tyres obviously

:09:31. > :09:34.better. The weight of the car much, much lighter at this stage. The

:09:35. > :09:41.consequences of Hamilton dropping down is that puts Mark Webber up

:09:42. > :09:45.into third in the drivers'. Small consolation, but he's pointing there

:09:46. > :09:50.to show where was the issue - the wheels were coming out. He arrived

:09:51. > :09:56.and all the wheels and tyres weren't there. So, a bit of confusion. Red

:09:57. > :10:00.Bull normally very slick. So, I presume that was a late call by the

:10:01. > :10:05.driver to come in for tyres. The team not able to react to that. At

:10:06. > :10:09.the same time Mark Webber is arriving in the pit box and his

:10:10. > :10:14.entry is blocked. I wonder if there was a reaction to tyre failures out

:10:15. > :10:18.on circuit. It was just before that. None of us knew there was contact

:10:19. > :10:22.between Bottas and Hamilton. They blamed Hamilton for moving over on

:10:23. > :10:25.Bottas. You have to abide by the referee's

:10:26. > :10:29.decision. That is their decision. We should be thankful it has come

:10:30. > :10:34.quickly N a lot of cases we have seen decisions taken after the Grand

:10:35. > :10:39.Prix. Seemingly, hours after the Grand Prix. You wonder sometimes

:10:40. > :10:43.what the process is. But, well, for better or for worse, we know what

:10:44. > :10:46.the outcome of that coming together is.

:10:47. > :10:57.So, Perez there, we are looking at now. In sixth place, behind Rosberg.

:10:58. > :11:01.OK, we have a drive-through causing a collision. We want to get it out

:11:02. > :11:06.of the way as soon as possible in case any rain comes. So it will drop

:11:07. > :11:11.Hamilton out of the points when he does his drive-through penalty. For

:11:12. > :11:15.Mercedes that has a massive effect. Up front, we have Alonso in third

:11:16. > :11:20.place. Massa is in seventh. Ferrari are going to be scoring some useful

:11:21. > :11:23.points here. Rosberg still scoring points of course for fifth place.

:11:24. > :11:29.That is under threat. Sergio Perez is not far behind him. I think that

:11:30. > :11:39.puts Hamilton down around the rest and 13th, maybe... He has a chance

:11:40. > :11:44.to battle back and pick up a point this afternoon.

:11:45. > :11:48.A strong run here for the McLaren drivers. So, let's just see how

:11:49. > :11:54.Rosberg manages to defend from Perez. Massa is some 3.3 seconds

:11:55. > :11:58.behind these two. And then, we will wait to see when Hamilton does his

:11:59. > :12:02.drive-through penalty. That will be crucial. Getting rain drops on the

:12:03. > :12:10.camera, but no difference in lap time. 1. 16.0 for Vettel. A good lap

:12:11. > :12:17.from Button as well. We don't quite understand it. We are

:12:18. > :12:22.going to have to take it. Just keep pushing as much as you can.

:12:23. > :12:27.Lewis Hamilton's latter part of the season has not gone to plan, has it?

:12:28. > :12:31.Look at that - hands off the steering. Collapsing them together.

:12:32. > :12:34.The stewards feel he moved to the left, defended. He was coming back

:12:35. > :12:38.to the right when the contact happened. There was space on the

:12:39. > :12:43.outside of the circuit. Bottas did have room to keep moving, but, any

:12:44. > :12:47.way - that is the steward's decision.

:12:48. > :13:03.Unfortunate end. This is him, this is Hamilton leaving this very tricky

:13:04. > :13:11.pit out to rejoin - he will come out in fron. Of kove kove.

:13:12. > :13:19.We will find out if there is a penalty. At the moment they would

:13:20. > :13:23.gain 11 points on Mercedes. It would not be enough to put Ferrari into

:13:24. > :13:27.second overall. We are hearing that Sebastian was called in quite late

:13:28. > :13:31.as a reaction to the incident between Hamilton and Bottas. They

:13:32. > :13:34.were worried if a safety car came out he would have ended up the way

:13:35. > :13:38.he was, in track position at that time. He could have ended up at the

:13:39. > :13:42.back of that pack and lose the lead. It was a late call. That is the risk

:13:43. > :13:48.you take. You know, the tyres are stored for all the teams inside the

:13:49. > :13:52.garage, plugged in, maintaining temperature. There is a

:13:53. > :13:56.transportation process. Minimum time to pick those tyres up and bring

:13:57. > :14:00.them out. That normal slick operation, well it was zest tested

:14:01. > :14:05.today. It did -- well, it was tested today. It did not work. They are

:14:06. > :14:08.still one-two in this Grand Prix. That is the way it is. Christian

:14:09. > :14:19.looking anxious. Some rain on the track. It is very

:14:20. > :14:24.localised. We need your help on this - we need your help! So, everybody

:14:25. > :14:31.watching the skis, including Sebastian Vettel. -- watching the

:14:32. > :14:40.skys - including Sebastian Vettel. They are worried about what will

:14:41. > :14:45.happen with the weather Sutil ninth. Up ahead of them, but some way ahead

:14:46. > :14:50.is Hulkenberg in eighth. Massa ahead of them in seventh place. Of course,

:14:51. > :14:52.Lewis Hamilton has rejoined behind this pairing. He will try and close

:14:53. > :15:04.up for the final few points. The the rain comes it will be

:15:05. > :15:08.crucial if you go into the pits. We could be in for a Grandstand finish.

:15:09. > :15:14.Sutil making a third pit-stop. He maybe on different strategies, here

:15:15. > :15:18.is is a move from Perez on Rosberg. Difficult to go round the outside,

:15:19. > :15:22.Perez is still in sixth place. That was rise up into seven, through

:15:23. > :15:26.eight, they are into the middle section of the lap. Perez fastest of

:15:27. > :15:30.all in that first sector. A combination of the DRS he would be

:15:31. > :15:36.getting from the back of Rosberg, and maybe on that particular lap, he

:15:37. > :15:42.fired everything from his KERS. You have to try and find strategic ways

:15:43. > :15:47.past, a lot more moisture at the top end of the circuit, coming out of

:15:48. > :15:52.12. That starts to make it more tricky, to have the have the

:15:53. > :15:58.confidence to line lean on the car. TEAM RADIO: It is important to

:15:59. > :16:01.maintain position in front of Perez. If Massa gets past them both it

:16:02. > :16:04.could be enough for Mercede to lose that second place in the

:16:05. > :16:08.Constructors Championship, although Hamilton has got himself into the

:16:09. > :16:12.points with one point, possibly. He is up to tenth because Sutil made a

:16:13. > :16:16.pit-stop and he has come back out in 14th position.

:16:17. > :16:20.Hamilton more than a second faster than Ricciardo, who is running in

:16:21. > :16:25.ninth. So currently running two seconds behind him. So within the

:16:26. > :16:30.next lap or so he will be in a position to overtake. Rain expected,

:16:31. > :16:34.so this could mean a very exciting conclusion to the Brazilian Grand

:16:35. > :16:38.Prix. Further down the order, let me tell you that Marussia is still

:16:39. > :16:41.hanging on the tenth place in the Constructors Championship. They are

:16:42. > :16:46.not leading in the race itself against Caterham, but of course,

:16:47. > :16:52.Caterham need a 13th place finish. Their best car is 17th. Is they

:16:53. > :16:55.would need to see a few retirements for anything to change. Last year it

:16:56. > :16:59.changed between Marussia and Caterham, with just five laps to go.

:17:00. > :17:03.And we have more than that to go yet. Let us see what happens in the

:17:04. > :17:09.closing stages of this 2013 season, is the rain going to be the final

:17:10. > :17:14.decisive factor?let leads by six seconds from Webber -- Vettel.

:17:15. > :17:19.Alonso is staying close to the back of Webber. We go back onboard with

:17:20. > :17:24.Lewis Hamilton. He is coming up to try and get past Daniel Ricciardo.

:17:25. > :17:29.This would be for ninth place, and more valuable points for Mercedes.

:17:30. > :17:35.He is quicker on this lap, about 0. Of a second faster. Struggling a bit

:17:36. > :17:39.to get off the turn 12. -- 0.7. He will be able to pull back as they

:17:40. > :17:44.get into his DRS position, he is too far back to be able to look on this

:17:45. > :17:47.lap, and it does seem the Mercedes has generally struggled with

:17:48. > :17:52.traction. He is good on the brakes as he runs into one, Ricciardo left

:17:53. > :17:57.do a wide-open. That would be an indication for Hamilton. He will be

:17:58. > :18:02.thinking "If I am a way back in the braking zone, I know the door might

:18:03. > :18:08.be open, can take a lunge and it out at the apex." He has the second DRS

:18:09. > :18:15.zone, down the signed and Ricciardo doesn't fight too hard. Doesn't

:18:16. > :18:19.fight at all! Lewis gave him plenty of wedth. That was the corner he had

:18:20. > :18:24.the incident with Bottas. So there is Ricciardo, he is still

:18:25. > :18:27.in the point, he is in tenth position I wonder if that is an

:18:28. > :18:31.indication he is just trying to get to the end of the Grand Prix. He

:18:32. > :18:38.could be trying to manage these tyres. See if he can pick up a

:18:39. > :18:43.point. Yes, a few have gone for the two stop strategy. We might see more

:18:44. > :18:46.pit-stop, but that will defend on the weather. Hampton quicker than

:18:47. > :18:51.Hulkenberg you can see, lap after lap. He has a chance. That is Paul

:18:52. > :18:57.di Resta, he is chasing after that last point, that Ricciardo is

:18:58. > :19:02.running in, Paul was eight tenth faster the last time round than

:19:03. > :19:08.Ricciardo, it must be four seconds or so behind him, so a nice little

:19:09. > :19:12.battle thrown between the two teams one driver we know confirmed moving

:19:13. > :19:17.up to Red Bull Racing. Paul yet to be confirmed. Undoubtedly deserves

:19:18. > :19:21.his position in Formula One. That is for sure, let us hope he can

:19:22. > :19:24.announce something in the next few weeks. Jenson Button in fourth

:19:25. > :19:28.place, which is the best place for McLaren this years they have fifth

:19:29. > :19:35.in the Constructors Championship, which is poor by their Stan darnsds,

:19:36. > :19:38.they have finished fifth before -- standards. It wasn't a great year

:19:39. > :19:43.but they did have a couple of podiums that year and they finished

:19:44. > :19:49.fifth in 1983, but they have had a victory at Long Beach, you have to

:19:50. > :19:52.go back a long way since they were worse and that fifth. It would be a

:19:53. > :19:57.boost for McLaren if they can round up with at least a fourth place

:19:58. > :20:03.finish. Good driving from Button and Perez, Button had a poor qualifying

:20:04. > :20:07.for various reason, couldn't get heat into the intermediate tyres.

:20:08. > :20:11.What matters is the chequered flag. We are hearing that Lewis has been

:20:12. > :20:16.told to watch the overlap from his throttle and brake. If he is

:20:17. > :20:20.overlapping too much, the throttle and the brake the recharging

:20:21. > :20:24.process, the harvesting of the kinetic energy doesn't operate as

:20:25. > :20:29.smoothly as it should. You don't get a full boost of horsepower when you

:20:30. > :20:34.push the KERS Button. They have round 11 laps to go. After a scare

:20:35. > :20:38.for Red Bull, it seems to have settled down into a one-two for the

:20:39. > :20:45.moment. Vettel ahead oaf Webber. A good lap for Vettel. He gained

:20:46. > :20:50.another half second on Webber. 16.2 as opposed to 16.7. Alonso is

:20:51. > :20:55.keeping them honest. You have a huge gap back to Button, who is in fourth

:20:56. > :21:01.to. Rosberg still hanging on in there in fifth. Keeping Perez behind

:21:02. > :21:05.him for lap after lap. Despite being in the DRS zone. Seventh still for

:21:06. > :21:09.Massa, after that drive-through penalty he suffered for cutting the

:21:10. > :21:12.line on the pit lane entry. Hulkenberg is currently in eighth

:21:13. > :21:16.but he is going to have to watch out a bit for Hamilton, I think,

:21:17. > :21:23.although there is a big gap between them, so Hulkenberg is aict.

:21:24. > :21:28.Hamilton is ninth -- eighth and press just outside the point,

:21:29. > :21:32.closing on Ricciardo, so good chance for di Resta to get into the points.

:21:33. > :21:37.Esteban Gutierrez is outside the points, he is 12th. Kovalainen the

:21:38. > :21:43.Lotus, he is 13th, he is ahead of Sutil. Maldonado, Vergne, Charles

:21:44. > :21:48.Pic in 17th. Ahead of Bianchi. Van der Garde and Max Chilton. Valtteri

:21:49. > :21:55.Bottas and the Williams and Grosjean are out and off we have seen the car

:21:56. > :21:59.of Charles Pic go. There is damage on the suspension. The front is not

:22:00. > :22:02.sitting on ground. Is that a consequence of the off or is that

:22:03. > :22:05.the reason he went off. That front wheel is bouncing in the air so I

:22:06. > :22:09.suspect that is the rear suspension damage. The last thing Caterham want

:22:10. > :22:16.the see He is not quite getting the car to the gap where the marshals

:22:17. > :22:24.can get to easily. You can see that is an uphill section. Yes, look at

:22:25. > :22:31.the suspension damage on that car. TEAM RADIO: Something broke on the

:22:32. > :22:38.car. Something broke on the car. OK, understood, understood.

:22:39. > :22:41.It is not going to break his heart that retirement. Because he has not

:22:42. > :22:45.had a great car this year. For Caterham, if suddenly we got a

:22:46. > :22:49.massive rain shower, and cars all went slipping off the track, it has

:22:50. > :22:53.happened in the past, it means that now, they have lost the car that was

:22:54. > :22:56.leading for them, so Bianchi now takes over the lead in that group,

:22:57. > :23:00.in the Marussia, so it could have a bear, I don't think it is going to

:23:01. > :23:05.now with ten laps to go. And we have yellow flag not a safety car, that

:23:06. > :23:09.could have a bearing, but interesting, the chance of getting a

:23:10. > :23:14.safety -- safety car here but it has been clean so far So far, so good.

:23:15. > :23:20.Still the mist hangs round the circuit, but the local reter

:23:21. > :23:23.pattern, it is not quite the sun shining on this race track, but

:23:24. > :23:28.thankfully the rain is staying in the surrounding area. Just seeing

:23:29. > :23:32.Jean-Eric Vergne here, he is trying to get past Maldonado, Maldonado in

:23:33. > :23:36.the Williams, of of course we lost a Williams a while ago. Let us hear

:23:37. > :23:39.from Bottas who is speaking to Leigh. That looks dangerous out

:23:40. > :23:43.there, Lewis Hamilton has been given a drive-through penalty, is that the

:23:44. > :23:48.right decision? Difficult to say, I need to see theied owe, but the only

:23:49. > :23:52.thing I know it was not my fault. I was on my line, I was going

:23:53. > :24:00.straight. Think there was no point to have a shunt there, so, difficult

:24:01. > :24:06.to say. Point were points possible out there today? I think it could

:24:07. > :24:10.have been difficult, but still, still raining a bit, and anything

:24:11. > :24:15.can happen. I think main problem was the prime tyre for us. We were

:24:16. > :24:22.struggling a lot, but the car was working well. Disappointment for

:24:23. > :24:27.Valtteri Bottas. It don't look as though Williams are going to score

:24:28. > :24:30.any points here. Hopefully things will improve next year, Felipe Massa

:24:31. > :24:34.of course will be joining the team, Valtteri Bottas will still be there.

:24:35. > :24:38.Maldonado will have gone pasturing new and there is Valtteri Bottas

:24:39. > :24:42.having a chat with the Williams engineers. Gary, after a bit of

:24:43. > :24:46.nervousness for Red Bull at one point, now things seem to be

:24:47. > :24:50.settled. Jean-Eric Vergne is still trying to get past Pastor Maldonado

:24:51. > :25:01.but the conditions have remained cob sis tent, despite the ot drop of

:25:02. > :25:07.rain. -- consistent. Yes, Vettel has lot a second. Vergne. This could be

:25:08. > :25:12.interesting. The Venezuelan stays ahead for the moment. The rain is

:25:13. > :25:18.coming a bit. Ten laps to go, trying to get Charles Pic's car off the

:25:19. > :25:22.track. And trying to push it up a hill The weight of the car plus fuel

:25:23. > :25:27.onboard with broken suspension is not the easiest thing to push. There

:25:28. > :25:30.are worries of it rolling back, that wouldn't have been good. Any other

:25:31. > :25:36.outstanding performances you have seen in the race? You have to say

:25:37. > :25:39.Jenson Button has done a good job. Getting chased that bit. Look at

:25:40. > :25:44.this. Sutil going on Kovalainen. This is for 13th place. And blasts

:25:45. > :25:48.past him. He is on a fresher it is of tyres. Sutil has gone for the

:25:49. > :25:53.three stop. Do you think that will help him in the closing moments It

:25:54. > :25:58.is difficult. Ehas quick tyres but he is back in 13th place. Will he

:25:59. > :26:04.but pull a point position out of it in the cars ahead o not big gaps but

:26:05. > :26:08.the this rain comes harder he will pay the price. The track will get

:26:09. > :26:13.slippery. That is right. Mark Webber we saw in the background some 7.9

:26:14. > :26:17.seconds behind his team-mate Sebastian Vettel. It looks as though

:26:18. > :26:20.they are heading for another one-two finish. What a brilliant way it

:26:21. > :26:24.would be for Mark Webber to finish his career. It might not be the

:26:25. > :26:27.victory but let us wait and see. Anything can happen. It doesn't

:26:28. > :26:31.usually happen to Vettel. Vettel going for his own records here, the

:26:32. > :26:37.13 wins in one season, to match Michael Schumacher and he is trying

:26:38. > :26:44.to gore the nine wins consecutively in Grand Prix, which was done in the

:26:45. > :26:53.19 #50s and has never been matches since. -- 1950s, by Ascari. ? It is

:26:54. > :26:59.all going to plan. Des Poyet the woring are second or two. Vettel

:27:00. > :27:04.there, and Mark Webber, in the slipstream of Kovalainen, coming up

:27:05. > :27:10.to lap the Lotus car. Vettel there just resting his neck

:27:11. > :27:13.as they come through turn three. Hasn't really worked fourth

:27:14. > :27:16.Kovalainen, standing in for Heikki Kovalainen. This time it was about

:27:17. > :27:21.the start. Presumably, went through all the procedures as normal but for

:27:22. > :27:27.whatever reason the car just sat there on the grid. It must be

:27:28. > :27:30.difficult to come in, to... We have an incident! Maldonado and Vergne.

:27:31. > :27:34.Maldonado spins the rear to bring the car back in line and continue,

:27:35. > :27:38.there is Jenson Button, who is lapping him. Trying to get past,

:27:39. > :27:40.suddenly finding the Williams and that is where you want to be,

:27:41. > :27:45.Maldonado hopefully keeping out of his way, he is not racing him for

:27:46. > :27:51.position, and Button does go through, Rosberg, some 2.7 seconds

:27:52. > :27:54.behind, and then Perez, so they are not far behind, Button couldn't

:27:55. > :27:59.afford to lose much time but I think he is safely through. We will

:28:00. > :28:04.hopefully have another view of that. I suspect Vergne drops down into

:28:05. > :28:14.turn one, so the gap is open. He goes for it then Maldonado, contact,

:28:15. > :28:18.so, the door is wide, wide-open, and then Maldonado slams its shut.

:28:19. > :28:21.Vergne was on the kerb trying to get out of the way. I think that you

:28:22. > :28:26.have to say Maldonado brought that upon himself. How many guys have we

:28:27. > :28:31.seen go in like that but give each other room We see all the top guys

:28:32. > :28:37.do it all the time. There is no big surprise that the guys have been

:28:38. > :28:40.round and established themselves as consistent quality, more often than

:28:41. > :28:45.not, keep out of trouble in those situations. Low cloud, but no actual

:28:46. > :28:49.rain. It has got very misty and we look out of our window, you can see

:28:50. > :28:56.from the shot on camera, it is closing in on the circuit, but it is

:28:57. > :28:59.not changing the lap times. The race leader lapping consistently. It is

:29:00. > :29:04.round fourth position, Button in fourth, Rosberg in fifth place, he

:29:05. > :29:08.has the DRS active on this lap, because he is behind Maldonado. He

:29:09. > :29:13.is trying to lap him. Perez is still behind him.

:29:14. > :29:19.So I wonder if Maldonado is going to get out of their way, yes, he does,

:29:20. > :29:23.no, he doesn't, I thought he was. He does but not in a particularly good

:29:24. > :29:27.place and gets in the way of Perez, so, think taking his frustrations

:29:28. > :29:32.out on those that are having a clean race this afternoon. He knows that

:29:33. > :29:36.is naughty but he is responding to the Blue Flags but he is in a bad

:29:37. > :29:40.mood but he wants everybody to share in his pain.

:29:41. > :29:43.And the incident is under investigation, it will be

:29:44. > :29:49.investigated after the race, we are being told, so they will look at the

:29:50. > :29:53.incident between Maldonado. TEAM RADIO: Sebastian the rain is

:29:54. > :29:57.going to pick up again in a few laps time. Not enough we think to change

:29:58. > :30:01.tyres but be careful. Rin is picking up between now and the end of the

:30:02. > :30:12.race. We are counting the laps down, we are on lap 67. Despite that slow

:30:13. > :30:21.pit stop, everything else has gone according to plan. He's opening the

:30:22. > :30:25.gap up asses a, hanging on for a podium finish. His first in several

:30:26. > :30:29.Grand Prixes. He would be impressed with the

:30:30. > :30:34.performance of Alonso this afternoon, to be within 12 seconds

:30:35. > :30:38.of the race leader and only four of Mark Webber, shows they have not

:30:39. > :30:45.only an incredibly talented driver, but a car working reasonably well

:30:46. > :30:54.here in Brazil. They have to watch out. Sutil is catching as well. On a

:30:55. > :31:03.fresh set of tyres. They are all outside the points. Sutil in #139.

:31:04. > :31:08.The other Force India in the background.

:31:09. > :31:13.Coming off the wing now of Paul di Resta in these very humid

:31:14. > :31:25.conditions. The low cloud and the mist creating that vortex.

:31:26. > :31:31.Gaps up to 3.4 seconds. The tyres go through their wearing

:31:32. > :31:42.cycle. The Toro Rosso steam be finding some comfort. Both on the

:31:43. > :31:47.same tyres. Ricciardo hanging in for the point in tenth place. See if he

:31:48. > :31:51.can do that. He's done it several times this year. Been a reasonably

:31:52. > :31:55.consistent point-scorer for the team that struggles to get into the top

:31:56. > :32:00.ten. Toro Rosso had a reasonable record here at Brazil. Let's see if

:32:01. > :32:04.they can maintain it. Hulkenberg is in the points. Gutierrez obviously

:32:05. > :32:08.not there yet. What can he do? He's not close enough on the way into the

:32:09. > :32:14.first corner. Down the hill and through the next section. Goes side

:32:15. > :32:20.ways there. Gets on the curb and as the car reacts to that, loses a bit

:32:21. > :32:23.of grip. Interestingly Max Chilton reporting

:32:24. > :32:27.over the radio that he's got a bad vibration. That is a worry for him,

:32:28. > :32:31.considering he's trying to finish every Grand Prix of his rookie

:32:32. > :32:37.career. Something which has not done before. It will be the 19th Grand

:32:38. > :32:42.Prix. We are counting the laps down. A big

:32:43. > :32:47.moment there again from Esteban Gutierrez.

:32:48. > :32:58.Just a word on the smaller teams, Bianchi, 7.8, man in 13, Alonso,

:32:59. > :33:04.17-. . So, a few -- 17-4. These two laps further down the

:33:05. > :33:08.field. Reasonable taste. Chilton is coming into the pits. So, maybe

:33:09. > :33:12.there is more of a problem. Maybe they are going for a change of

:33:13. > :33:18.tyres. He's changing tyres and going back on his way. They want that car

:33:19. > :33:23.to make it to the finish. He should be classified with two laps to go.

:33:24. > :33:30.He should have achieved his target. No change. Di Resta seeing off

:33:31. > :33:34.Gutierrez. He scored six points courtesy, mainly of that good result

:33:35. > :33:39.he had in Japan. He was seventh in Japan. Mark Webber is very much

:33:40. > :33:43.counting down to the end of his Formula One career. He'll end it in

:33:44. > :33:49.good style by finishing on the podium. Once again, nobody's had an

:33:50. > :33:53.answer for this man - Sebastian Vettel, controlling the pace of the

:33:54. > :33:57.race throughout. Didn't get into the first corner ahead for a change. Had

:33:58. > :34:03.to find his way in front. Once he did that, David, it whats been plain

:34:04. > :34:08.sailing, apart from a -- it's been plain sailing, apart from a slow pit

:34:09. > :34:10.stop. It was a double-stop. He was running second at that time to run

:34:11. > :34:30.an advantage. A dominant display. A bit of chat going on at Ferrari. I

:34:31. > :34:35.understood the English bit! He's all set up for a podium finish here. He

:34:36. > :34:42.had a whole series of them earlier on this year. The leaders are on to

:34:43. > :34:47.their final laps now. Look at this - Gutierrez has - he is with Sutil

:34:48. > :34:53.behind him now. He has caught the other two. Sutil has been gaining on

:34:54. > :34:58.them. One lap now in which to get past him and his team-mate. Some

:34:59. > :35:03.consolation for Mark Webber. He may be about to finish second this

:35:04. > :35:08.afternoon, but he has the fastest lap race. Not a bad thing to take

:35:09. > :35:17.with you out of your Grand Prix career. Another fastest lap to add

:35:18. > :35:26.to his tally over his... . TEAM RADIO: One more lap - enjoy it!

:35:27. > :35:32.Coming to an end - his 19th fastest lap in his career. It will be his

:35:33. > :35:38.42nd podium finish in that fantastic career. You can't take anything away

:35:39. > :35:43.from the 26-year-old here, Sebastian Vettel, who has trounced Mark Webber

:35:44. > :35:47.over the past couple of years. He's managed to win four World

:35:48. > :35:52.Championships. He comes through. Sebastian Vettel wins in Brazil. He

:35:53. > :35:57.equals one of the oldest recordses in Formula One. Nine consecutive

:35:58. > :36:02.Grand Prix wins. He's the onliment to have done that in one -- he's the

:36:03. > :36:08.only one to have done that in one season. What a way to bow out of

:36:09. > :36:12.Formula One. He will continue racing sports cars. He will go to Porsche

:36:13. > :36:18.as one of the fastest drivers still at the top of his game. Alonso

:36:19. > :36:22.finishes third. First podium since Singapore. That brings Ferrari some

:36:23. > :36:34.relief after a difficult latter part of the season. We will wait for

:36:35. > :36:37.Button. McLaren end up the season without a podium. That will give

:36:38. > :36:44.them a little bit of a boost at the end of the year. Rosberg finishes

:36:45. > :36:49.fifth. Perez, a strong sixth. Massa in seventh. Delight at Red Bull.

:36:50. > :36:55.It does not get any better than that. A one-two finish! It has been,

:36:56. > :37:01.as we said, as everyone at home knows, it has been a dominant

:37:02. > :37:11.display. As we close out, this 2.4 V8 formula. I am proud!

:37:12. > :37:19.Guys I am so proud of you. I love you guys!

:37:20. > :37:24.Enjoy this! Enjoy this moment! Yes! We did it! This is

:37:25. > :37:31.unbelievable! The last win of the 2.4 litre V8 era

:37:32. > :37:35.has gone to Sebastian Vettel. I guess that is so suitable when he

:37:36. > :37:40.has dominated the last few years. Mark Webber - what is he trying to

:37:41. > :37:44.do? Take his crash helmet off? As you say, taking his helmet off -

:37:45. > :37:50.don't try this at home, kids. He is a professional. He's driving, very,

:37:51. > :37:55.very slowly. He wants to feel the wind in his hair. I have never seen

:37:56. > :38:00.that before. Final slowdown lap for Mark Webber. It is lovely to see.

:38:01. > :38:05.What a great career he's had. Absolutely brilliant! I know we made

:38:06. > :38:12.it difficult for you. Good ride, good pace. Use all the curves if

:38:13. > :38:16.possible. Still following the instructions. A fantastic career. It

:38:17. > :38:20.has been brilliant working with you! You can be proud of everything

:38:21. > :38:24.you've done, because we are. Well done!

:38:25. > :38:28.I hope they said that before he took his crash helmet off. He still has

:38:29. > :38:32.his ear plugs in. He is connected to the car. He will not be able to

:38:33. > :38:40.respond, of course. The radio for a lot of the teams now is in the Bala

:38:41. > :38:45.clave va itself. Sebastian Vettel is becoming a trademark with Sebastian

:38:46. > :38:49.to enjoy the moment, as he takes victory. The Brazilian fans will be

:38:50. > :38:54.soaking this up. A lovely way to end the season for Sebastian Vettel.

:38:55. > :39:01.Just getting into the pit lane. Got to make it back - unless they get a

:39:02. > :39:06.penalty! 39th win of his remarkable career. Missed out on the pole win

:39:07. > :39:11.and fastest lap triple though, because Mark Webber, his team-mate,

:39:12. > :39:16.snapped the fastest lap. That is one for the Australian. Equalling

:39:17. > :39:22.Michael Schumacher's record of 13 victories in one season. Michael did

:39:23. > :39:26.that in 2004. Vettel has done it. More doughnuts - this time for

:39:27. > :39:30.Felipe Massa. That will create a lot of excitement for the Brazilian

:39:31. > :39:37.fans. He's doing a Spanish wave rather than a doughnut!

:39:38. > :39:42.Vettel, out of the car to celebrate his dominant end of the season.

:39:43. > :39:46.Unbeaten since July, since the Belgium Grand Prix. We have never,

:39:47. > :39:50.ever, ever seen a run like this. Mark Webber enjoying the moment as

:39:51. > :39:54.well. There is something we have not seen too often. A friendly clap on

:39:55. > :40:00.the back from Sebastian Vettel to Mark Webber. There is Alonso.

:40:01. > :40:05.Mark throwing his helmet to his trainer, Rich and then remembering,

:40:06. > :40:11.I need it for the driver weigh-in. It would be a same to be thrown out

:40:12. > :40:14.of second place after all this. Richard, celebrating with both his

:40:15. > :40:20.drivers. Whether they have got on or not over the years, it has been an

:40:21. > :40:24.incredibly successful pairing, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, when

:40:25. > :40:28.you look back it will be one of the most successful pairings in history.

:40:29. > :40:34.It has been a remarkable journey to do what the team have done. Who

:40:35. > :40:40.would have thought that what started out as the Grand Prix in a Jaguar

:40:41. > :40:44.and then has come back so strong and had so much success. That is a lot

:40:45. > :40:49.down to that driver pairing. Mark has great skills, great speed behind

:40:50. > :40:54.the wheel. He has pushed Sebastian to be as good as he turned out to

:40:55. > :40:58.be. Look at that! Lovely to see. Felipe Massa, being hugged by all of

:40:59. > :41:04.the members of the Ferrari crew who have managed to make it outside.

:41:05. > :41:13.Family is there as well. A very, very special time. He has modelled

:41:14. > :41:18.his 6 helmet colour on the colour of the hair there. There is his wife. A

:41:19. > :41:22.kiss for him. 139 Grand Prixes for Ferrari. He was in the points again.

:41:23. > :41:29.Shame he had the drive-through penalty. A one-two for Red Bull.

:41:30. > :41:33.Mark Webber though, finishing his career on the podium.

:41:34. > :41:38.Button, fourth, ahead of Rosberg. Perez, Massa and then Hulkenberg,

:41:39. > :41:43.eighth. Hamilton, ninth in the end. Out of the points we saw Sutil.

:41:44. > :41:47.Heikki Kovalainen had a disappointing day, ahead of Vergne.

:41:48. > :41:52.Maldonado. Jules Bianchi, van der Garde, and Chilton. Pic had some

:41:53. > :41:57.suspension failure. We lost Bottas after the contact with Lewis

:41:58. > :42:02.Hamilton and early on, sadly we lost Romain Grosjean. A potential

:42:03. > :42:07.front-runner. If he caught you at the end of the

:42:08. > :42:09.pit lane... . Just discussing what happened at that late call for the

:42:10. > :42:30.pit stop. Switched off the light. I checked it

:42:31. > :42:33.was clear and... Vettel saying that the light didn't

:42:34. > :42:38.go off when he was released from the pit lane. He looked in his mirror,

:42:39. > :42:47.saw the Force India and then pulled out.

:42:48. > :42:51.Mark Webber made his mark. He certainly did, they say. Again

:42:52. > :43:12.another podium to finish his career. 42nd. That is nice to see.

:43:13. > :43:20.Nice to see that relationship between Mark and Fernando Alonso.

:43:21. > :43:24.They are good buddies. Both keen cyclists.

:43:25. > :43:41.Are you sure you want to retire? First three of the laps... It was

:43:42. > :43:48.good. He wants to get the show on the

:43:49. > :43:54.road! Everybody kept going.

:43:55. > :44:04.We will wait for a few moments before we see the podium

:44:05. > :44:12.celebration. What a sight that is to see the two Red Bulls in park fer

:44:13. > :44:18.may. -- ferme.

:44:19. > :44:20.Unfortunately he was not able to maintain that championship

:44:21. > :44:25.challenge. He finished second to Vettel in Belgium n the Italian

:44:26. > :44:30.Grand Prix and in Singapore. Recently those podium finishes have

:44:31. > :44:34.dropped away for Ferrari. Their attention must be on 2014 - the new

:44:35. > :44:40.rules package. They will look at trying to challenge Red Bull when we

:44:41. > :44:41.go to the V 6, turbo-charged engines, which will be introduced

:44:42. > :44:51.next year. Fernando Alonso comes out and Mr Is

:44:52. > :44:57.Mark Webber. Soaking up the atmosphere.

:44:58. > :45:01.But it is Sebastian Vettel, once again, who will take to the top

:45:02. > :47:31.step. And there is Mark Webber. St he won his third title. He did

:47:32. > :47:37.sufficient in the race, this time he has come back as a four times

:47:38. > :47:41.champion and taken his second win of his career, at Interlagos but has

:47:42. > :47:46.completed this remarkable sequence of nine victories in a row. There is

:47:47. > :47:50.the man that Master Minded it. What an incredible year it has been for

:47:51. > :47:59.Christian Horner. ' Warded the OBE, he came a father az and has overseen

:48:00. > :48:11.this dominant fourth title sequence. Mark Webber now, to receive his

:48:12. > :48:15.trophy for second place. Fernando Alonso, the trophy for

:48:16. > :48:20.third position, Ferrari finishing with a trophy, but that now surely

:48:21. > :48:25.is a bit of a relief to have the 2013 season ended from their point

:48:26. > :48:28.of view. They will come out fighting, trying to win the 2014

:48:29. > :48:33.Championship when they get to Melbourne. Webber is going to enjoy

:48:34. > :48:39.this. He is down. Webber is down on the

:48:40. > :48:43.podium. But he doesn't care. He is still in one piece and Vettel and

:48:44. > :48:55.Alonso are going to make it a podium to remember, I am sure.

:48:56. > :49:00.And Christian seems to have found him something special. The

:49:01. > :49:04.Australian flag, that is lovely to see on the podium as well. He has

:49:05. > :49:16.represented Australia, truly well over the year, only the third

:49:17. > :49:26.Australian driver to win Grand Prix of course. -- of course.

:49:27. > :49:30.Great moment, great moment indeed for Mark Webber. And we will

:49:31. > :49:35.hopefully get to hear from him in a moment.

:49:36. > :49:39.Microphones are being handed out. And part of his team will be going

:49:40. > :49:45.with him to sports car racing. The interviews are going to be done by a

:49:46. > :50:00.Brazilian TV presenter this weekend. Slightly different.

:50:01. > :50:10.Ladies and gentlemen, please Sebastian Vettel, four times wham,

:50:11. > :50:19.come here please, Sebastian. Sebastian, you just made two

:50:20. > :50:26.records. You start with him, please. OK. Mark Webber, that is your last

:50:27. > :50:32.race in Formula One, today is a very emotional day. You have over 200

:50:33. > :50:36.races in your career. It was a very good finish, a good fight with all

:50:37. > :50:41.the guys I enjoyed fighting with for most of my career. Sebastian,

:50:42. > :50:46.Fernando, Lewis, all the guys which have been in the window for the last

:50:47. > :50:51.hour, five or six year, I want to thank the team, enjoy the last few

:50:52. > :50:54.lap, it was a very nice way for me to finish, I want to thank everybody

:50:55. > :50:59.in Australia, I wouldn't be here without the support I had in the

:51:00. > :51:03.early days. It has been an enjoy career, a great journey which I am

:51:04. > :51:08.proud of, and so many people have played a special role in my career.

:51:09. > :51:12.They know who they are. Thank you if you are watching. Enjoy watching

:51:13. > :51:19.Formula One next year with these guy, but, off to Porsche, looking

:51:20. > :51:24.forward to it. Congratulations in your last race. You got the podium.

:51:25. > :51:30.He is such a gentleman, we are going to miss him. Sebastian, you just

:51:31. > :51:34.made two records, the most consecutive wins, nine, and highest

:51:35. > :51:41.number of wins in the single season, 13. So what you feeling? Well, quite

:51:42. > :51:45.sad the season comes to an end. The last couple of races since the

:51:46. > :51:50.summer break, to win every race is a, is unbelievable. The car has been

:51:51. > :51:54.phenomenal, just kept getting better, I think, today was very

:51:55. > :51:59.interesting race I had a poor start, but then I was able to come back,

:52:00. > :52:03.straight ja in the first lap. Build a gap that was nice to control, but

:52:04. > :52:08.the pit-stop I was waiting for my tyres again, I think it was a bit of

:52:09. > :52:12.a confusion going on, because we had both cars coming in the same time,

:52:13. > :52:16.but fortunately I got the tyres in time, ready to go. Mark was behind,

:52:17. > :52:20.and then obviously with the last lap, it was very difficult with the

:52:21. > :52:24.rain, because you could see the fog coming, so it was difficult to

:52:25. > :52:28.judge. For sure, extremely proud. Big thank do you the team. Big

:52:29. > :52:32.thanks to Renault and I think there is a couple of guys that stand out,

:52:33. > :52:37.first of all Mark, his last race, we have been tame mates for a long

:52:38. > :52:41.time. Think after all we didn't have the best relationship but we had

:52:42. > :52:44.tremendous respect for each other, and together, I think been

:52:45. > :52:49.successful for the team and then there is one other guy, he is

:52:50. > :52:54.working on my car, his name is Tom. He is leaving, so farewell Tom, all

:52:55. > :52:58.the best for the future, and who knows, maybe we will meecht other

:52:59. > :53:01.again in the future. You were phenomenal, it was a phenomenon

:53:02. > :53:09.today. You did the pole position and won the race, congratulations.

:53:10. > :53:17.Yes, good, clap your hands, thank you. This was your first podium,

:53:18. > :53:23.now, the season it is over. Today, was a tough race, because like he

:53:24. > :53:30.said, the rain came and gone, came and gone, light rain all the time,

:53:31. > :53:33.so how was there? Well it was a difficult race for everyone.

:53:34. > :53:38.Unfortunately, the rain didn't come, I think we were more competitive in

:53:39. > :53:43.wet conditions, but again, it seems this kind of rain in any moment, but

:53:44. > :53:48.it didn't, it was a shame for us, but at least we were in the podium,

:53:49. > :53:52.so we finished the season on a high, hopefully for next year we start

:53:53. > :53:58.with a completely new direction, and a positive train, and you know,

:53:59. > :54:04.looking forward. So now you are missing Felipe Massa, today was his

:54:05. > :54:10.last race with Ferrari. Yes, I was, you know, a shame, sad that he had

:54:11. > :54:17.this drive through, because I think the podium was very close for Felipe

:54:18. > :54:22.today. When I saw him fourth, I said these would be a good celebration

:54:23. > :54:28.for him, and sad for in race, but happy for the last four year, he has

:54:29. > :54:34.been an amazing team-mate. Inside the circuit with a very competitive

:54:35. > :54:37.skill, and also like a person, that, a friendly relationship in the last

:54:38. > :54:42.four year, a lot of time together, and you know, we see him in the

:54:43. > :54:47.paddock erection near with a different colours but always we main

:54:48. > :54:51.very good friends. Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber. Thank

:54:52. > :54:54.you very much, congratulations. Back to you.

:54:55. > :54:59.So Mark Webber, with that final podium position of his career, also

:55:00. > :55:02.moving up to third place in the World Championship point, a great

:55:03. > :55:07.way to finish the season for him. But there is no doubt, Sebastian

:55:08. > :55:14.Vettel, the dominant winner of 2013. He has been unstoppable from round

:55:15. > :55:20.11 out of 19, winner of 13 races in total, and four times a World

:55:21. > :55:29.Champion at the age of 26. 2013 has definitely been his season.

:55:30. > :55:32.The racing gods shining down on the World Champion, the Red Bull

:55:33. > :55:36.stampeded their way to the podium today, perhaps it was a one-two that

:55:37. > :55:41.wasn't the right way round for Mark Webber fans but he was a class act

:55:42. > :55:46.today. And he can bow out in style He can, but I think there is a bit

:55:47. > :55:50.of sadness. I just feel that, I wish I don't know why I wish it but I

:55:51. > :55:54.think Sebastian, I would have loved to have seen if there was a

:55:55. > :56:02.possibility Mark could have won this race. Any way, that is my personal

:56:03. > :56:05.view. He took the fastest lap. Mark's day starting from them coming

:56:06. > :56:10.into the garage, having a hug from Fernando Alonso. Some of the

:56:11. > :56:15.incidents on track, he raced really well. He has raced strongly, but he

:56:16. > :56:19.has just been as he said in the interview, he has missed that little

:56:20. > :56:25.fraction of a second through age. You can't blame that, that is human

:56:26. > :56:28.frailty, but you know, Mark Webber has been fantastic for the age he is

:56:29. > :56:33.to be as competitive as he is, it is phenomenal. He has been up against

:56:34. > :56:40.the toughest man in certainly recent history, in Sebastian Vettel. You

:56:41. > :56:43.can't possibly imagine. He was up against a tough man Fernando Alonso.

:56:44. > :56:49.This pit-stop was slow, just over five seconds and it knocked him

:56:50. > :56:53.behind Alonso. You just think, where is the rub of the green going to

:56:54. > :56:57.come from. Any time there is failure, it is going to be Mark

:56:58. > :57:02.usually that gets it in this case, obviously, Vettel was the one who

:57:03. > :57:05.suffered in the pit-stop, but he has to queue up as we saw, that would

:57:06. > :57:10.have dress tracted him and taken time away, so he has to pass Alonso

:57:11. > :57:15.again, but that was absolutely super, super racing on behalf of,

:57:16. > :57:20.well both Red Bull drives and indeed, dare I say we have to talk

:57:21. > :57:25.about Alonso. But the driver for me was Jenson Button. A lot of people

:57:26. > :57:30.will be echoing those thoughts. Thanks to him a lovely moment when

:57:31. > :57:35.he took his helmet off and to take in the atmosphere. Christian is

:57:36. > :57:39.joining us. Never seen anybody take their helmet off and drive round. He

:57:40. > :57:43.wanted to take it in. Absolutely. We spoke before the race, I said

:57:44. > :57:48.hopefully you will be there on the last lap. Take it in and enjoy it.

:57:49. > :57:52.Savour the moment. He has had an incredible career. He made a big

:57:53. > :57:57.contribution to our team, and it was a great way for him to sign off.

:57:58. > :58:01.Your pit-stop. What happened? We never see failures like that from

:58:02. > :58:06.you. You have to tell us. We thought it was going to be a safety car. If

:58:07. > :58:09.Sebastian had been caught at the end of the pit lane with a safety car it

:58:10. > :58:15.would have dropped him a huge amount of time. We made a late call to get

:58:16. > :58:18.him in the pit, which is, there wasn't time to have the mechanics

:58:19. > :58:22.and the tyres out there. So then obviously it looks chaotic, the guys

:58:23. > :58:26.recovered well, and we had Mark behind him as well, so we managed to

:58:27. > :58:30.recover it and not lose any positions. Thank you very much.

:58:31. > :58:34.Congratulations on an amazing season. We are running out of time.

:58:35. > :58:40.Cheers for that. It was a very eventful race. Let us look at the

:58:41. > :58:46.incident with Lewis Hamilton here. And this was controversial. With

:58:47. > :58:52.Bottas, and it was deemed he did impede Bottas, so he got a

:58:53. > :58:57.drive-through penalty, which he was a very announced about. Probably not

:58:58. > :59:02.the way you hoped to finish off the season. Let us talk about the drive

:59:03. > :59:06.through you were given. That was the drive through. I don't really know

:59:07. > :59:10.what happened, exactly. So I have to look at the video. Do you feel it

:59:11. > :59:15.was deserved or you can't work it out? I can't quite work it out. I

:59:16. > :59:20.thought I moved to the left and then, you know, he out-braked me and

:59:21. > :59:24.we touched. Obviously I did something wrong. You have been

:59:25. > :59:28.making good progress up to that point. What did you think was

:59:29. > :59:34.achievable? The podium was achievable. That is why it was so

:59:35. > :59:37.disappointing, but... I am glad it is over.

:59:38. > :59:42.Yes, disappointing and disappointing for a few of the drivers today. We

:59:43. > :59:48.will give you the reaction on the red Button so stay with us for that

:59:49. > :59:53.for that. It is 111 days to the start of the next season. We will be

:59:54. > :59:57.back in Melbourne next year, in March. 15th and 16th March. We will

:59:58. > :00:01.have a review at the end of December so we will be back on your screens

:00:02. > :00:04.soon. What a season it has been. It has been full of intrigue, have you

:00:05. > :00:09.enjoyed yourself? Absolutely. There have been highs and low, for all

:00:10. > :00:19.sorts of reasons. I don't think it was an ebbing -- epic year.

:00:20. > :00:22.Whether you have dipped in and out of our coverage or whether you have

:00:23. > :00:27.watched the entire season, we appreciate your company. Thank you

:00:28. > :00:31.very much for watching. For 2013, unless you want to switch over to

:00:32. > :00:43.the red button to catch all the action - that's it from us.

:00:44. > :00:58.It is the ultimate in speed, in engineering... . This engine has

:00:59. > :01:00.been fantastically successful. The engine is very much the heart of

:01:01. > :01:23.the racing car. OK, Max, let's go and get them! What

:01:24. > :01:29.happens on that start? I'm pushing, I'm pushing. Do we want

:01:30. > :01:33.the prize? Yes, we do! People have been having punctures.

:01:34. > :02:18.Watch out! Get out of the way!

:02:19. > :02:29.It is not holding together very well.

:02:30. > :02:34.Please drop back. Leave a gap. Remember this one?

:02:35. > :02:39.Stressed out. You know the score. You don't get any more points for

:02:40. > :02:46.that. A brilliant job, Lewis!

:02:47. > :02:55.I can't believe it! Absolutely superb!

:02:56. > :03:04.Yes! You've done it in style. You're a four-times world champion!
