The British Grand Prix

:00:19. > :00:29.great racing here today! Race number eight. Silverstone. This is Formula

:00:29. > :00:29.

:00:29. > :01:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:01:54. > :02:01.year, we would have been quicker whopping! 2013! Brilliant!The

:02:01. > :02:10.Formula one relay! I was wondering why people were looking at me a bit

:02:10. > :02:18.silly. This has been the home of the Jordan Grand Prix! Are you going to

:02:18. > :02:28.a limey in here? I don't know about that! This must be the prototype for

:02:28. > :02:38.next yearcar! We are taking the building back on behalf of all

:02:38. > :02:54.

:02:55. > :03:04.Jordan! We were checking it by ever win a Grand Prix! Give us a

:03:05. > :03:23.

:03:23. > :03:33.of the British Grand Prix? If there was a hotel, you would not stay!

:03:33. > :03:44.

:03:44. > :03:48.are liars! -- an important part. they really get behind everyone.

:03:48. > :03:53.Very funky, I love those flags! I think Silverstone has a very nice

:03:53. > :03:57.way of doing things. This is one of the ultimate challenges, you need

:03:57. > :04:03.tremendous bravery to go through the Copse, Becketts, down onto the

:04:03. > :04:07.straight. That would need a separate the men from the boys. Would you

:04:07. > :04:13.trade a victory in another Grand Prix to have had one of those here?

:04:14. > :04:23.Good question. Would I have? I've hobbled leeward, in some respects.

:04:24. > :04:24.

:04:24. > :04:30.It would have been special. We are here. -- I've wobbly would. -- I

:04:30. > :04:35.probably would. From the smallest to the fastest, welcome to the home of

:04:35. > :04:42.Formula one. The sun is shining and the crowd are going crazy. How good

:04:42. > :04:48.will today be? 130,000 people and everyone is on the edge of their

:04:48. > :04:51.seats because they are willing Lewis Hamilton on to win this. A home win

:04:51. > :04:56.would be fantastic for Lewis Hamilton, he has been smiling after

:04:56. > :05:01.qualifying. Your favourite mum and? I have to say, watching David

:05:01. > :05:07.Coulthard winning a couple of times. We were fighting a couple of times

:05:07. > :05:10.and he never came to join Jordan. But we loved his winnings. I am

:05:10. > :05:16.morally that you are being nice but my favourite was Nigel Mansell

:05:16. > :05:22.winning here! He had so many moments? Incredible.Everybody is

:05:22. > :05:32.getting ready and we have to go down to the pits. One more good by! -- or

:05:32. > :05:51.

:05:51. > :05:57.by! -- goodbye! There is some hunting to be done and Sebastian

:05:57. > :06:00.Vettel has the target. He is leaving Fernando Alonso by 36 points, Kimi

:06:00. > :06:03.Raikkonen is eight points away and Lewis Hamilton is in fourth place

:06:03. > :06:07.with Paul di Resta in eighth place and Jenson Button competing the top

:06:07. > :06:16.ten. Red Bull dominate the constructors championship, having

:06:16. > :06:23.won three in a row. They are looking for their fourth second. Yesterday,

:06:23. > :06:30.it was a very noisy place. Displays erupted. I will let mail me explain

:06:30. > :06:34.my... -- this place. The grandstand was pack and his son almost shining

:06:34. > :06:40.as qualifying got underway. One of the first big names to fall was

:06:40. > :06:43.Jenson Button, who could not find any pace. His P11 and Sergio Perez

:06:43. > :06:49.means no McLaren qualified in the top ten. Ferrari did not do much

:06:49. > :06:54.better. Felipe Massa went out in Q2 and Fernando Alonso did make it into

:06:54. > :07:00.Q3 but was left frustrated whilst his rivals went faster. Daniel

:07:00. > :07:04.Ricciardo made the most in Toro Rosso. Red Bull are looking for a

:07:05. > :07:07.replacement driver for Mark Webber next season and he starts in an

:07:07. > :07:11.impressive sixth place. Another driver making the most of it was

:07:11. > :07:15.Paul di Resta, the used home advantage and a quick car to put

:07:15. > :07:21.into fifth place. After qualifying, the stewards find his car to be

:07:21. > :07:26.liked by 1.5 kilograms, Knight has to start from the back of the grid.

:07:26. > :07:30.Red Bull is traditionally quick, Mark Webber could only manage fourth

:07:30. > :07:34.phase whilst Sebastian Vettel was third place. That -- that left

:07:34. > :07:38.Mercedes to battle it out and Lewis Hamilton but in a stunning lap,

:07:38. > :07:43.getting pole position and a new lap record around this track. It was

:07:43. > :07:48.incredible, big thank you to everyone and it means the world to

:07:49. > :07:56.me to come here. They are always so disappointed every year and this is

:07:56. > :08:00.the first time I relief at the car. I am so proud of the team. Mercedes

:08:00. > :08:05.look at the front row and then comes Red Bull. Paul di Resta is

:08:05. > :08:11.disqualified and everyone moves forward. The car was for. Adrian

:08:11. > :08:19.Sutil is the highest placed Force India. Then comes Lotus. Button

:08:19. > :08:27.makes it into the top ten. Maldonado is the highest placed Williams car.

:08:27. > :08:34.With Valtteri Bottas alongside. Giedo van der Garde takes one point

:08:34. > :08:38.from Canada. Paul di Resta starts a long way from where he qualified.

:08:38. > :08:43.Such a shame because it was so incredible. Paul di Resta has been

:08:43. > :08:46.on pace all weekend? Not just this weekend, he was brilliant in Canada

:08:46. > :08:50.and came back after driving through the field and it was one of the best

:08:50. > :08:58.rides he has ever had to finish in seventh and then to qualify in death

:08:58. > :09:02.and lose it is very disappointing. -- fifth. How can this happen?You

:09:02. > :09:07.are dealing on the finest of margins and every kilogram is so special and

:09:07. > :09:13.expensive. Because you cannot give away time and you need the car

:09:13. > :09:19.absolutely on that weight limit and harder this happen? 1.5 kilos? If he

:09:19. > :09:23.was, he has to pay the penalty but that is a very better appeal.

:09:23. > :09:33.find out what the team boss thought because he caught up with Tom

:09:33. > :09:35.

:09:35. > :09:39.Clarkson. The car, in our opinion, weighed in OK. Paul was at a lower

:09:39. > :09:46.weight than he should have been. And the combination of those, car and

:09:46. > :09:50.driver, was below the prescribed weight limit. It is going to be

:09:50. > :09:56.impossible to do any post-mortem to check this out. But we will

:09:56. > :10:01.certainly be very diligent on this particular aspect going forward.

:10:01. > :10:10.Paul 's car and pull himself, they were both weighed after a P3 and he

:10:10. > :10:15.checked out fine. Why this happened is something that remains a mystery.

:10:15. > :10:22.We are standing in front of Force India. It seems so confusing?

:10:22. > :10:27.is a rumour that the calibration of the skills were in question and

:10:27. > :10:33.perhaps suspect and we do not know the full story. That seems hard to

:10:33. > :10:38.understand but nevertheless, if he says, which we have to believe, that

:10:38. > :10:42.Paul was weighed after qualifying and was told it was the car, but

:10:42. > :10:45.things change. You don't know the weight of the tyres, there could be

:10:45. > :10:50.different rims, any number of different things that went on that

:10:50. > :10:55.would just make that horrible kilo underweight and you can never be too

:10:55. > :10:59.careful. In my experience, we used to try to run the car with that too

:10:59. > :11:04.kilogram margin and that would not have happened because 1.5 kilos,

:11:04. > :11:10.underweight, but also shows a good sign that the FIA are ruling this

:11:10. > :11:14.with integrity. We saw that recent problems and we felt that was

:11:14. > :11:24.correct and Nigel Mansell was one of those stewards and was one of his

:11:24. > :11:30.decisions at the car should be at the back. 1.5 kilograms, but isn't

:11:30. > :11:34.about... It is less than one second? It is either illegal or it is not.

:11:34. > :11:39.You are either in this or out. A neighbour outside regulations.

:11:39. > :11:44.can hear the Red Arrows flying overhead. They have been doing their

:11:44. > :11:48.display for the fans. Paul di Resta, essentially, is at the back

:11:48. > :11:54.of the grid. They have chosen not to go from the pit lane, they will go

:11:54. > :11:59.from the back. Does he have any chance of making this up? I think he

:11:59. > :12:06.will score points. This will make him doubly determined to show what

:12:06. > :12:10.he can do. And my gut feeling is this is his racetrack and we saw how

:12:10. > :12:14.he could qualify, he was absolutely sensational. And I think he will

:12:14. > :12:20.make this into a really tough, hard race for himself and he will score

:12:20. > :12:24.points. Owing from the back but it was the Mercedes front row lock-out.

:12:24. > :12:30.David is with Ross Brawn. plastic third pole position. The

:12:30. > :12:36.front row. It will be about strategy and people want to know about tyres.

:12:36. > :12:41.Can you make them last in the Silverstone? All of us will be

:12:41. > :12:44.facing different conditions than Friday and Saturday because the

:12:44. > :12:51.track temperature is 12 degrees hotter today, or predicted to be so.

:12:51. > :12:57.We have to be flexible with our strategy. It will almost certainly

:12:57. > :13:01.be three stops or two stops. We shall see how those first set of

:13:01. > :13:07.tyres behave and decide on strategy afterwards. Presumably you go off in

:13:07. > :13:12.grid order, Wetherby the team strategy to give Lewis Hamilton the

:13:12. > :13:15.best opportunity to get that gap will you let them race and then see

:13:15. > :13:20.afterwards what the best way is to maximise points? We will let them

:13:20. > :13:25.race but I do not think it is of any interest on either to raise hard at

:13:25. > :13:29.the beginning. This race will evolve. They are free to race each

:13:29. > :13:32.other but they understand the best way of protecting their position,

:13:32. > :13:37.because we have those cars stacked up and that is not the best way to

:13:37. > :13:42.protect positions at the beginning. There are no team orders apart from

:13:42. > :13:52.bringing both Castle. Quickly, we hear that other teams are struggling

:13:52. > :13:54.

:13:54. > :13:59.with front left were, is that the case? Is any contrast indifference?

:13:59. > :14:04.That is the good sort of overall statement. We started with the front

:14:04. > :14:08.left being the problem and this has evolved to being more balanced and

:14:08. > :14:11.we have to avoid going the other way, and the rear wheels becoming

:14:11. > :14:17.the problem because they are the ones that become difficult to

:14:17. > :14:22.maintain with lap times. The front, we can increase understeer but the

:14:22. > :14:30.drivers can still generally get time out of the car. We shall watch with

:14:30. > :14:36.interest. Added that it -- afternoon. -- have a good afternoon.

:14:36. > :14:39.What do you reckon? There are 100,000 people who hope the envelope

:14:39. > :14:47.that Lewis Hamilton will do this because he is the darling of the

:14:47. > :14:50.crowds, he has made all those extra ticket sales possible and he

:14:50. > :14:53.certainly has all of those ingredients necessary to win this. I

:14:53. > :14:58.personally think it would be great for the British Grand Prix to have

:14:58. > :15:06.him winning. The crowd have been entertained by these people, the Red

:15:06. > :15:16.Arrows. Absolutely fabulous display. Let's catch up with the drivers. And

:15:16. > :15:18.

:15:18. > :15:23.how they feel about the day ahead. Lewis, I suppose you never tire of

:15:23. > :15:26.this and very shortly, all of these guys will be cheering you on for

:15:26. > :15:31.pole position. How does it make you feel? It is

:15:31. > :15:35.incredible, I am honoured to be here and to represent the country and the

:15:35. > :15:39.weather is great, such a good turnout. I want to give them a good

:15:39. > :15:43.result. Jenson, I can't imagine you ever get tired of seeing these funds

:15:43. > :15:46.come at you want to give them something to cheer about? We will

:15:46. > :15:50.give them something to cheer about, whether or not we are doing good

:15:50. > :15:54.from the front. We still have the pace but we are going to do

:15:54. > :15:58.everything we can to get the right result. Finishing 10th doesn't mean

:15:58. > :16:06.anything for us so we are going to fight and see what happens. Paul, a

:16:07. > :16:13.strong a drive for you yesterday hasn't turned out like he wanted,

:16:13. > :16:18.you're starting from the back. is right, but it doesn't take away

:16:18. > :16:24.from the labs we did. We are to promote committed and we all have a

:16:24. > :16:31.fight on our hands, but we will do what we can -- we have to stay

:16:31. > :16:37.committed. Can you spoil the party today? I think you -- they will be

:16:37. > :16:41.partying whatever. We are looking forward to having a nice race and

:16:41. > :16:46.I'm looking forward to do the best that I can. I won in 2009 and

:16:46. > :16:51.hopefully I can do it again. Mark, it is your last British Grand Prix,

:16:51. > :16:57.I know it is a special place for you. It has been a long time I have

:16:57. > :17:05.been here in the UK. I really saw a change when I started to win races,

:17:05. > :17:10.and when BBC took over the coverage, the interest in the sport blew up,

:17:10. > :17:17.getting petrol in your car started to change, which was good become a

:17:17. > :17:20.English took a bit of like to me. This is a fantastic event for us. We

:17:20. > :17:26.used to race in some circumstances when it was nearly empty, and we

:17:26. > :17:29.come here and there is so much support, it is fantastic. Fantastic

:17:29. > :17:32.support for the British drivers and the British teams but there is a

:17:32. > :17:42.huge respect for all of us and we want to put the show, they deserve

:17:42. > :17:45.SUZI PERRY: All of them looking fairly relaxed out on the bus with

:17:45. > :17:54.Lee and very confident. Sony reasons for all of them to want to win the

:17:54. > :17:59.Grand Prix. It is the most animated I have seen people for a long time.

:17:59. > :18:03.It is a shame, Ferrari have such a huge following here, irrespective of

:18:03. > :18:10.who is driving the car, it has been a favourite and the magnetism there

:18:10. > :18:13.is huge. David, how difficult is it for Lewis? He is in pole position,

:18:13. > :18:17.they know the car is a little bit better than it has been in the

:18:17. > :18:20.past, what will be going through his head? Being in pole position gives

:18:20. > :18:25.you a huge advantage, not only track position of course, but you don't

:18:25. > :18:31.have to be driving 100%, you can control the pace, especially on a

:18:31. > :18:35.circuit like this where to overtake, because of its vast

:18:35. > :18:41.nature, you can actually control the race from the fund. So the only

:18:41. > :18:46.thing we are concerned about is a good launch into turn one. He turned

:18:46. > :18:54.out to be top dog in qualifying but how would he fare with David

:18:54. > :19:04.Coulthard and the top guns of the RAF, the red arrows? Bring on the

:19:04. > :19:40.

:19:40. > :19:43.scale. The Red Arrows is an amazing display of the quality of the RAF,

:19:43. > :19:47.the pilots, the skills that they have banned the trust they have in

:19:47. > :19:50.each other. There are many similarities between the teams in

:19:50. > :19:54.F1, they have to trust the mechanics, the mechanics had to

:19:54. > :19:59.trust the machine, you have to trust those around you, so the team

:19:59. > :20:05.working element, the technology, the aerodynamics, it is a vital role in

:20:05. > :20:09.the aircraft and it is something grand prix racing is all about.

:20:09. > :20:15.is something I have wanted to do for a long time. It is very different to

:20:15. > :20:18.be here. A huge welcome, it is a great privilege to have both of you

:20:18. > :20:28.here and all of the pilots are pretty good, so don't worry too much

:20:28. > :20:30.

:20:30. > :20:36.about that. Can you not take the word pretty out of that sentence!

:20:36. > :20:46.David, is it all right if I take a picture? This is what happens when

:20:46. > :20:48.

:20:48. > :20:58.you retire from racing. It has been broken a few times. Sorry, I have

:20:58. > :21:26.

:21:26. > :21:36.171. Darn, I have shrunk. All done, going to measure you up now. Get

:21:36. > :21:37.

:21:37. > :21:43.your helmet. This is which -- when you realise what we are about to do.

:21:43. > :21:46.Are you happy about that? This is the coolest jacket I have ever had.

:21:46. > :21:49.I think in these kinds of situations come you don't really realise what

:21:49. > :21:54.is going on. Until I am walking into the

:21:54. > :22:00.aircraft, then I will realise. Welcome everybody, we are going to

:22:00. > :22:10.look at two p.m. Takeoff. We are going to 15,000 feet. It is little

:22:10. > :22:12.

:22:12. > :22:16.bit misty. The weather is improving all the time. You lost me at the

:22:16. > :22:26.word hello. Is there any change you can do it all again? I know what

:22:26. > :22:26.

:22:26. > :23:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:23:20. > :23:29.they are talking about. It is time cool. Red arrows, clever takeoff. --

:23:30. > :23:30.

:23:30. > :23:40.cleared for takeoff. , I'm so excited. This is it. We

:23:40. > :24:03.

:24:03. > :24:13.come true. I just had a bit of a excited. They are so close together,

:24:13. > :24:33.

:24:33. > :24:42.it is incredible. I can almost touch be over. What a ride. Wonderful,

:24:42. > :24:52.absolutely wonderful. This is the coolest thing I have ever done.

:24:52. > :24:56.

:24:56. > :25:04.How good does that look? Did you do that big summer break, where you

:25:04. > :25:09.experience seven geez? You have got me in that one but I did have a

:25:09. > :25:16.closing of the pigeon, and I felt like I would pass out, but he backed

:25:16. > :25:20.out of its -- of the vision. It is amazing, it blows your mind.

:25:20. > :25:25.Lewis looks like he had a great time. And him as well, I think that

:25:25. > :25:32.was the best piece of video we have ever done on the show. Because he

:25:32. > :25:40.was a bit naked? I am used to that. I think it was just amazing, I think

:25:40. > :25:44.it was a new Lewis, and David was there and Red Arrows, that is why

:25:45. > :25:47.people come to Silverstone, all the things together, the noise and the

:25:47. > :25:53.excitement. I would love to have done it but I'm not sure my heart

:25:53. > :25:59.would be able to take it. GeForce you experience, how does it

:25:59. > :26:03.compare to being in a racing car? is a different access, so in simple

:26:03. > :26:08.terms, it is trying to push the blood into your feed where as in a

:26:08. > :26:17.racing car, it is more aggressive. In a jet, you're pushing down on the

:26:17. > :26:24.head, it is a bit more different. you want me to go and get him sorted

:26:24. > :26:29.at question marks big yellow you are usually going out and talking to

:26:29. > :26:35.drivers --? You are usually going out and talking to the drivers now.

:26:36. > :26:44.There are lots of sports stars and actors on the grid. Just spin

:26:44. > :26:51.around... The man who has done it on two wheels and four wheels, the only

:26:51. > :26:57.man. Eddie. The atmosphere on the grid here at the British Grand Prix.

:26:57. > :27:02.I think it is always electric, it is triumphant, something that catches

:27:02. > :27:07.you. I don't think there is another grid like it. Maybe I am being a bit

:27:07. > :27:10.biased but that is how I feel, the atmosphere at Silverstone is created

:27:10. > :27:15.by the fans and you saw people like Alonso paying tribute to the fans,

:27:15. > :27:19.they don't do that at any other race to my knowledge, and that carries on

:27:19. > :27:23.all stock that is why we have so many dignitaries and people coming

:27:23. > :27:28.here. If you run over there now and they saw you... Do you want to do

:27:28. > :27:36.it? Just wander over here and see if they are being attentive to Mister

:27:36. > :27:41.Jordan. There they are. They are awake. There are loads of Hamilton

:27:41. > :27:45.flags, loads of flags for Paul di Resta and Jenson Button. Superb

:27:45. > :27:55.support for all of the British drivers. It is all around the

:27:55. > :27:59.

:27:59. > :28:02.circuit, that is the nice thing, Susie. -- Suzi. We have 300,000

:28:02. > :28:05.people here this weekend, it has been a joy to be part of the British

:28:05. > :28:09.Grand Prix and it is not long now until we find out who is going to be

:28:09. > :28:14.victorious at this glorious track, it really is one of the greatest in

:28:14. > :28:17.the world. I like it because it is so fast and it is one of the

:28:17. > :28:23.permanent circuit. We have been to Monaco and Canada, which are not

:28:23. > :28:26.permanent circuits. This is where you can actually make big fast

:28:27. > :28:31.corners, and the driver absolutely adore this place because it gives

:28:31. > :28:35.them a sense of excitement and it makes them push hard Allsopp it will

:28:35. > :28:42.be interesting to see how the tyres work, because was interesting to

:28:42. > :28:46.hear what Ross Brawn was saying. Mercedes have made huge strides and

:28:46. > :28:50.don't be surprised if they lead from the front and continue to lead.

:28:50. > :28:54.can go to David now, he's going to start his report for us.

:28:54. > :29:00.DAVID COULTHARD: I am beside Mark Webber, one of the only top for guys

:29:01. > :29:06.who has come to the grid -- top four. Your last British Grand Prix,

:29:06. > :29:09.a few words on that before we get into what you expect? I have been

:29:09. > :29:13.very lucky to race in the British Grand Prix a few times, managed to

:29:14. > :29:17.win it as well like yourself and some amazing crowds, some of my best

:29:17. > :29:22.memories from here. Trying to add to that again today, we have a great

:29:22. > :29:27.chance. The experience that I have had here over the years, I drove a

:29:27. > :29:31.car for the first time in Formula Ford in 1995, but I will be back

:29:32. > :29:38.here again next year. It will be different but we will concentrate on

:29:38. > :29:42.now. You're sitting there in fourth place, you have a good run to the

:29:42. > :29:46.first corner, what is the strategy? The last few races, we are getting

:29:46. > :29:51.better start, so we need to do that again today. We have the chance to

:29:51. > :29:54.do it in Monaco and we have more room and we need to do it again

:29:54. > :29:59.today if we can, but we have to put pressure on them immediately.

:29:59. > :30:02.wish you luck in your last Grand Prix. In a moment, I would like to

:30:02. > :30:12.have a word with Nico Rosberg, whose car has not quite right on the grid,

:30:12. > :30:12.

:30:12. > :30:20.but I am going to walk directly over to Daniel Ricciardo. Letters just

:30:20. > :30:23.listen... It has been going so well? It came at a very good time, the

:30:23. > :30:29.last couple were not so great and the whole weekend has been good, we

:30:29. > :30:32.have done the right thing and I will push hard and I got a great

:30:32. > :30:37.opportunity and are a lot of quick guys in front and we shall see what

:30:37. > :30:42.we can do. Do you think you can take it to the guys around you? I hope

:30:42. > :30:49.so, I am planning on it. The strategy is to push and really see

:30:49. > :30:54.what we can get. We are not going to see any thing from here, we shall go

:30:54. > :30:58.from here. What is the biggest concern? Your best qualifying

:30:58. > :31:04.position, what will limit your chances of maintaining or going

:31:04. > :31:09.forward? At the end of the day, it is just how well we can use those

:31:09. > :31:13.tyres, we were really quick yesterday over one lap and we can

:31:14. > :31:23.manage those tyres, we will be OK, unless they give us a hard time. We

:31:24. > :31:30.

:31:30. > :31:38.wish you luck. Without this. If we can just wander down here, trying to

:31:38. > :31:43.find my way to the legend of the sport. Actually, two of them. I am

:31:43. > :31:52.sure these fine gentleman will not mind us jumping in. The president,

:31:52. > :31:59.and Nigel Mansell. Quicklime from both of you? This is everything. And

:31:59. > :32:07.Silverstone, it comes alive. -- quick line. This is electrifying and

:32:07. > :32:12.the president to my right, he is very proud and justifiably so.

:32:12. > :32:19.is repaying the fans, who had a very tough time last year and the sun has

:32:19. > :32:24.come out. It is like a festival. Fantastic. Great stuff, I could not

:32:24. > :32:31.hear too much of that. Enjoy. We were just wander across all of these

:32:31. > :32:41.cables, mind yourself... Nico Rosberg just getting out of his car.

:32:41. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:46.I will handover. We are spoiled for choice! Talk to us, last night?

:32:46. > :32:48.was in Marussia, and I came here at three o'clock in the morning,

:32:48. > :32:53.straight from Munich. They changed all of the flights to get me.

:32:53. > :32:59.Poulter, you will be gracing the fairways of the British Open. What

:32:59. > :33:03.are you doing here? I live down the road, I had a week of and the boys

:33:03. > :33:10.are playing in Ireland. Just a couple of miles down the road, we

:33:10. > :33:17.shall see if Lewis Hamilton can hold on. Another petrol head! Carroll,

:33:17. > :33:22.nice to see you! And Chris Evans! You will at Glastonbury last night.

:33:22. > :33:28.What are you doing here today? We have kids and we have to get back to

:33:28. > :33:33.feed them! We could not be more excited, we have the weather, this

:33:33. > :33:39.is the home of motor sport. We know that and we have a line-up that is

:33:39. > :33:46.incredible. If Hamilton wins or whether, Ferrari, we shall be happy.

:33:46. > :33:54.Can I keep quiet? ! Thank you very much. -- or Mark Webber. Actor

:33:54. > :34:04.David. I am just behind Nico Rosberg. I will walk with you. --

:34:04. > :34:05.

:34:05. > :34:11.back to David. We shall go with him, once he has had his conversation. I

:34:11. > :34:15.will not put my microphone in because he is speaking in German. I

:34:15. > :34:19.want to know what they are saying. Perhaps we should reposition? He

:34:19. > :34:23.gave the signal that he would go for just a little walk. If we can get

:34:23. > :34:30.into position, we might be able to take a walk with him. Just going

:34:30. > :34:37.past his car. Wonderful view. Not that clear right now. But wonderful,

:34:37. > :34:42.clear view from the front row. Very open quarter at that first turn.

:34:42. > :34:48.Nothing much to hold them back. As we walk around the cars, Nico

:34:48. > :34:57.Rosberg has wandered off, actually? Can anybody spot? In that case, I am

:34:57. > :35:01.not sure if we have anybody else... I shall just take a little wander.

:35:01. > :35:08.Those girls struggling to hold the Union Jack against this wind. It is

:35:08. > :35:17.incredibly windy. As we rejoin with Eddie Jordan... You were in full

:35:17. > :35:22.swing and I took off. It has that attraction, doesn't it? So many

:35:22. > :35:27.people want to be seen here but they want to enjoy the action. It is very

:35:27. > :35:32.windy today. That will affect them? As I said about those ladies with

:35:32. > :35:39.those flags, we can imagine the effect that has on the back of the

:35:39. > :35:42.car. You think Paul di Resta should have started with the pit lane and

:35:42. > :35:48.made that different gear change, that would have been more important?

:35:48. > :35:53.With Mercedes, they have pretty good top speed. He should be OK from a

:35:53. > :35:57.position and he can gain some places. Lots of British flags flying

:35:57. > :36:07.all over the place. Lots of girls dressed in the Union flag. It is

:36:07. > :36:07.

:36:07. > :36:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:36:54. > :37:01.about time that we can listen to the Crutchlow joins us, you might have

:37:01. > :37:05.seen him yesterday. Absolutely terrific year in MotoGP. It has been

:37:05. > :37:10.a very good season for you in the Championship but it is tight at the

:37:10. > :37:14.top? It is nice, it is great to be here at Silverstone. I have never

:37:14. > :37:18.been to a Formula one race before Agassi Lewis Hamilton on pole

:37:19. > :37:23.position is great. We had a very busy schedule yesterday, taking the

:37:23. > :37:28.podium and coming straight year but Valentino was fantastic yesterday. I

:37:28. > :37:34.have to say that, he had a better race than anybody. I had to come

:37:34. > :37:37.from the back. But I did a good job, I think. Disappointed not to win but

:37:37. > :37:43.then again, I crashed out of the last race in Barcelona. Great to get

:37:43. > :37:49.those points. We think you're doing a very good job and you have a lot

:37:49. > :37:56.of fancy. Valentino Rossi on the race yesterday. The first time since

:37:56. > :37:59.2010. What are you doing next season? I really don't know. I am

:37:59. > :38:05.here with Mercedes, so perhaps we could start some rumours that I will

:38:05. > :38:10.drive for them next year! , and win this Championship! I would love to

:38:10. > :38:18.but I am not very good in a car! have to go. Cheers! Gary, strategy

:38:18. > :38:24.today? Stops? As far as I'm concerned, one stop is

:38:24. > :38:31.mathematically the fastest but to stops would be five seconds slower

:38:31. > :38:34.than three stops would be 13 seconds. The more stops, and we know

:38:34. > :38:39.Lewis can be aggressive and he will drive the wheels off from lap number

:38:39. > :38:45.one. This race will be all about that at the end. Ross Brawn said two

:38:45. > :38:48.or three? They have made ground on those tyres, they don't really know

:38:48. > :38:55.but looking at those Friday times, they were better than Barcelona.

:38:55. > :39:05.They are pretty good today. Not long to go. Thank you. Let's take a

:39:05. > :39:17.

:39:17. > :39:25.closer look at the track and see how one thing. It's the British Grand

:39:25. > :39:35.Prix! Can you take us around this track? We are going to run?I don't

:39:35. > :39:38.

:39:38. > :39:43.run! David Coulthard has got shaved legs! Did you know that? This is the

:39:43. > :39:48.start of the lap, number one. You have just been warming those tyres

:39:48. > :39:53.for qualifying and you get here and you are not sure whether you can

:39:53. > :40:00.take this flat or not, and there is a big bump at the apex. You went

:40:00. > :40:06.down yourself? Seven cars will find this easier, flat. Coming here, in a

:40:06. > :40:14.way, you are not sure what will happen. That was turn one.Copse or

:40:14. > :40:19.Becketts? What is more interesting? Becketts is the corner I watched in

:40:19. > :40:23.1984, my first time here. It is so fast and changes direction and the

:40:23. > :40:33.smell and the noise, that is one of the most special moments I have had

:40:33. > :40:35.

:40:36. > :40:40.watching races. And by the magic of television... That was quick!

:40:40. > :40:50.Between Maggots and Becketts? Exactly. Maggots comes before

:40:50. > :40:54.Becketts, it is flat. Left, right kink. And then you have to learn the

:40:54. > :41:00.car up for the first part of Becketts. And Becketts is basically,

:41:00. > :41:05.left, Right, left. But there is such a nice flow to this. And you then

:41:05. > :41:15.head off into hangar straight. The longest on the circuit. What I love

:41:15. > :41:23.to remember is 2000 I overtook Schumacher on the outside. I crossed

:41:23. > :41:26.the finish line and the crowd were going crazy. I realised, David

:41:26. > :41:31.Coulthard had won the Grand Prix and that was one of the best weekends of

:41:31. > :41:39.my career! David Coulthard wins the British Grand Prix! It must have

:41:39. > :41:49.been a pretty good party? You were there - you cannot remember? !

:41:49. > :41:51.

:41:51. > :41:58.somewhere else? Still corner. Right. Lots of good overtaking down

:41:58. > :42:07.here. This was a very special price for our guy, going around the

:42:07. > :42:12.outside. 1997. Those cars were so wide, to get the job done, sparks

:42:12. > :42:22.were flying. I was doing that a couple of years ago with Felipe

:42:22. > :42:26.Massa. And it worked, strangely. Exactly. Not as good as Nigel. But

:42:26. > :42:32.it felt great. I could not have said it any better. Thank you for your

:42:32. > :42:42.time. Thank you.We wish you is accessible British Grand Prix. Shall

:42:42. > :42:42.

:42:42. > :42:47.beget in? ! -- get in. Somebody love. That was filmed on Thursday,

:42:48. > :42:55.which is why it was raining. Glorious, perfect conditions today.

:42:56. > :42:59.Just windy. In a certain area, it might have an effect. But generally,

:42:59. > :43:05.you would not want a better day, it is absolutely perfect and the fans

:43:05. > :43:10.are ecstatic. Good to see Jenson Button, such a great broadcaster!

:43:10. > :43:14.are all in danger! He will take our jobs. Stay in that car as long as

:43:14. > :43:20.you can! There are a lot of fans that want to see him out there,

:43:20. > :43:26.winning. Keeping in the car.We are really not that far away from the

:43:26. > :43:32.start of the British Grand Prix. I think it is about three minutes. For

:43:32. > :43:35.years and years, Steve Rider would be standing here, about to hand over

:43:35. > :43:40.to the king of motor sport commentators, the most adorable

:43:40. > :43:44.Murray Walker. We would have loved to have had him here but he is not

:43:44. > :43:52.very well and I know he is watching so we send you lots of love. Get

:43:52. > :43:55.well very soon. Look at this, they have erected -- erected this huge

:43:55. > :43:59.car and it is being signed by everybody. He will really enjoy

:43:59. > :44:09.looking at all of those comments. Everybody wants the British to do

:44:09. > :44:12.

:44:13. > :44:16.well here. Union Jacks. Nigel Mansell, the crowd. Real enthusiasm.

:44:17. > :44:22.The smell of hamburgers and onions when you have an empty stomach, that

:44:22. > :44:31.takes a lot of beating. Speed, noise, drama. Sometimes it is wet.

:44:31. > :44:38.Above all, the racing is terrific. There are no fans anywhere else in

:44:38. > :44:45.the world as knowledgeable, as cheerful as the British. To win as a

:44:45. > :44:53.British driver at Silverstone must be absolutely fabulous. David

:44:53. > :44:58.Coulthard wins the British Grand Prix! Hands off the wheel! What more

:44:58. > :45:08.can anybody say? We are minutes away from the start of the British Grand

:45:08. > :45:20.

:45:20. > :45:22.Prix and Windows lights go out, it Sitting across the county border of

:45:22. > :45:26.Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, Silverstone is the

:45:26. > :45:29.home of the British Grand Prix and at the heart of motorsport in the

:45:29. > :45:34.UK. Rent eight comes at a point of the season when the Milton Keynes

:45:34. > :45:37.-based Red Bull team is beginning to ease away from the opposition but

:45:37. > :45:44.the Mercedes cars, built in Brackley, just ate whilst from the

:45:44. > :45:54.track, and annexed the front row of the grid -- just eight miles from

:45:54. > :45:55.

:45:55. > :46:02.the track. Can they maintain the pace? There are two DRS zones this

:46:02. > :46:07.year. Significantly, the weather is pretty much the best we have had all

:46:07. > :46:11.weekend. We have a track temperature of 31 degrees, that could even allow

:46:11. > :46:16.Ferrari and loaders to play a more significant part in the race than

:46:16. > :46:20.they did in qualifying. And add to the mix that Paul di Resta was fifth

:46:20. > :46:23.fastest in qualifying but as to start from the back of the grid

:46:23. > :46:26.following a technical exclusion, all of the ingredients are in place for

:46:26. > :46:31.a wonderful concoction that could see a British winner for the 22nd

:46:31. > :46:36.time in the history of this event. David, so much to look forward to,

:46:36. > :46:40.so many little stories. Daniel Ricciardo qualifying so well, he

:46:40. > :46:45.knows now there is a space vacant in the Red Bull team the next year.

:46:45. > :46:50.Mark Webber's last ever British Grand Prix. Like you, he has won

:46:50. > :46:55.this race on two occasions and you have to bet he will be going for it.

:46:55. > :46:59.Yes, so many stories out there and the most impressive is that Lewis

:46:59. > :47:03.has such a good pole position, the biggest margin of the entire season,

:47:03. > :47:07.the gap between him and his team-mate. Nico Rosberg looked most

:47:08. > :47:12.likely in Monaco and Lewis has looked in great form since Saturday

:47:12. > :47:20.morning and who would bet against him? He does have a chance but

:47:20. > :47:26.Mercedes have not showed that type of sustained pace at the started the

:47:26. > :47:29.race. Is Hamilton on pole position with Nico Rosberg alongside him, and

:47:29. > :47:34.Red Bull on the second row with Sebastien Vettel just ahead of Mark

:47:34. > :47:44.Webber. Daniel Ricciardo, his best ever grid position and Adrian Sutil

:47:44. > :47:48.already well up the grid. Grow shone has outqualified Raikkonen, but not

:47:48. > :47:58.much to choose between them -- Romain Grosjean. Felipe Massa lines

:47:58. > :48:00.

:48:00. > :48:03.up in 11th place, Jean-Eric Verney is 12. -- Vergne. Pastor Maldonado

:48:03. > :48:10.and Bottas share the eighth role of the grid for the Williams-Renault

:48:10. > :48:16.team and then we see Charles Peek. Max Chilton and Bianchi are just

:48:16. > :48:21.behind. Van der Garde had a penalty hanging over him from the previous

:48:21. > :48:25.Grand Prix for causing an accident and Paul di Resta stopped at the

:48:25. > :48:28.very back of the grid after the exclusion for the car being

:48:28. > :48:34.underweight in qualifying yesterday. There is the view down to the

:48:34. > :48:39.starting grid. The big pit building, the wing as it is known.

:48:39. > :48:43.The grandstand is over on the right-hand filled with thousands of

:48:43. > :48:50.fans with this fantastic response as ever. There is Kimi Raikkonen,

:48:50. > :48:52.further back than he would have liked, but he did finish second from

:48:52. > :48:56.eighth position on the grid in Bahrain so we have seen the Lotus

:48:56. > :49:00.work its way through the ranks. Fernando Alonso, his worst

:49:00. > :49:05.qualifying performance of the year but he is second in the championship

:49:05. > :49:09.and he does see the prospect of that gap opening up a little bit. Mark

:49:09. > :49:14.Webber lines up in fourth place. Tom, you are in the pit lane, what

:49:14. > :49:18.are conditions like? It is peaceful, the calm before the storm.

:49:18. > :49:27.The mechanics are taking the trolleys back to the pits. It is

:49:27. > :49:32.this wind that is really taking my attention. It is a 25 kilometre per

:49:32. > :49:37.hour wind and that is going to make Copse in particular very difficult.

:49:37. > :49:41.Unquestionably. It is very much affected by the wind direction on

:49:41. > :49:49.the circuit. There are huge rear wing is hanging up there in the air

:49:49. > :49:51.and when you turn in, if you get a gust of wind, it takes the load off

:49:51. > :49:57.the rear of the car and the driver doesn't realise until he is

:49:57. > :50:00.committed to the corner. The drivers are about to make their way off on

:50:00. > :50:10.the formation lap. All of them on the medium compound tyre. In the top

:50:10. > :50:13.ten. Jenson Button has gone for the harder compound. Nico Hulkenberg,

:50:13. > :50:16.Gutierrez and at the back, so has Paul di Resta. Interesting to see

:50:16. > :50:21.that some of those further down have gone for the harder tyre.

:50:21. > :50:26.GARY ANDERSON: I think Paul di Resta thinks the medium tyre is going to

:50:26. > :50:33.be faster but you have to use both tyres. While he is caught up in

:50:33. > :50:43.traffic, he will have cars in front of him, he won't lose that speed.

:50:43. > :50:44.

:50:44. > :50:48.did the longest and there has been on a Pirelli tyre, 55 lapse. Ollie

:50:48. > :50:52.has to do is keep it tight and has as many cars as possible, so if it

:50:52. > :50:55.was me, I would be saying keep going at the page you can driver and

:50:55. > :51:00.make-up as many spaces as possible and we will look at the tyre

:51:00. > :51:06.situation spent. If they stop too early, they lose too much.

:51:06. > :51:11.Mercedes hold on in front of Red Bull? Looking at Friday's times, it

:51:11. > :51:14.is going to be tough but I think they can. It may be a three stop

:51:14. > :51:22.strategy, whereas Red Bull can plan for aid to stop strategy, whereas

:51:22. > :51:26.Red Bull can plan for a to stop and plan that -- a two stop strategy.

:51:26. > :51:29.they are on different strategies, we will only find out in the closing

:51:29. > :51:35.stages of the race. Lewis Hamilton, his second pole position at

:51:36. > :51:39.Hamilton. His first game back in 2007. It is also his first of this

:51:39. > :51:44.year. In the driver's championship, Lewis Hamilton is fourth in the

:51:44. > :51:47.points, as you can see. It is Sebastien Vettel who is making an

:51:47. > :51:54.outbreak of front courtesy of victory last I read in Montreal, and

:51:54. > :51:58.what a great run of success Sebastien Vettel has had. He has led

:52:05. > :52:08.year. The only one he did not was Monaco. He will be one to watch from

:52:08. > :52:12.third on the grid. Mark Webber starting from fourth position, the

:52:12. > :52:17.same position he qualified in Monaco.

:52:17. > :52:24.TEAM RADIO: You need to remember the back of the grid up, they are

:52:24. > :52:30.stringing out a lot. That is an engine temperature issue. If you are

:52:30. > :52:34.on the front row, you considered their promilitary for the last car

:52:34. > :52:41.lines up -- you can sit there for a minute until the last car lines up

:52:41. > :52:44.and Charlie starts. Just saying, arrive as tight as possible. Lewis

:52:44. > :52:49.Hamilton has had three podium finishes this year but is yet to win

:52:49. > :52:53.a race for Mercedes, the team he joined for this 2013 season. He has

:52:53. > :52:59.won here in the past, for McLaren, the team he grew up with. Now he is

:52:59. > :53:02.in a different scenario. As you look at the line-up, Lewis Hamilton is on

:53:03. > :53:08.the right-hand side of the shot with Nico Rosberg on the left-hand side,

:53:08. > :53:17.angling the car slightly. Will that? As long as he is in his box

:53:17. > :53:20.position, it is fine, but he has a slight uphill climb to the start.

:53:20. > :53:26.They are moving into position. Watch out for Daniel Ricciardo, the Toro

:53:26. > :53:32.Rosso starting fit. Jenson Button is on that fifth row of the grid with

:53:32. > :53:42.him. Watch for di Resta coming from the back. The British Grand Prix

:53:42. > :53:45.2013 is also to under way at Silverstone. -- all set. Lights out

:53:45. > :53:51.and Lewis Hamilton lights up the rear tyres but it was Nico Rosberg

:53:51. > :53:57.who was very slow away. It is a good start for Sebastien Vettel. Contact

:53:57. > :54:03.behind, was at one of the Toro Rossos? We keep an eye on it, but a

:54:03. > :54:09.great starter Lewis Hamilton. Mark Webber has dropped back. I think it

:54:09. > :54:13.was contact with Mark. And the Lotus has worked its way through. Kimi

:54:13. > :54:18.Raikkonen has had an excellent getaway, no doubt about it, but

:54:18. > :54:23.Lewis Hamilton has got to start he was hoping for. Sebastien Vettel

:54:23. > :54:27.second, Nico Rosberg in third, Mark Webber has dropped way down. He has

:54:27. > :54:36.come through in 15th place. It has all gone wrong for the Australian

:54:36. > :54:42.here. On board with Fernando Alonso, after he chases Romain Grosjean. The

:54:42. > :54:45.tyres have lost temperature, the car is banging against the deck and you

:54:45. > :54:54.are trying to make progress for someone a taxi from the rear.

:54:54. > :55:03.Massa has made a tremendous start. He started then in 11, here's a pin

:55:03. > :55:10.to fit. I don't care how he has managed that. -- he started in 11

:55:10. > :55:13.and he is now in fifth. Fernando Alonso is coming. Trying to get

:55:13. > :55:20.pasta Jenson Button into stove. Jenson Button stays with him and he

:55:20. > :55:30.has to give it up. He runs out of space on the exit. Jenson Button has

:55:30. > :55:32.

:55:32. > :55:42.seen Grosjean gone through... I'm sorry, seen Fernando go through.

:55:42. > :55:51.

:55:51. > :56:01.Ricciardo lost out a bit on the Grosjean over breaking. Mark Webber

:56:01. > :56:02.

:56:02. > :56:05.has damage to his front end plate. Going around the outside into the

:56:05. > :56:13.Brooklands left-hander, but Romain Grosjean covers the line.

:56:13. > :56:22.Side-by-side into Luffield. TEAM RADIO: We can see front wing

:56:22. > :56:30.damage, it looks the same as Canada. Alonso is through.

:56:30. > :56:34.Remember, Felipe Massa is further up draw away but the gap between

:56:34. > :56:39.Hamilton and Sebastien Vettel is just 0.8 of a second at the end of

:56:39. > :56:44.the first lap. Nico Rosberg with a slow getaway, putting down into

:56:45. > :56:50.third position and as we can see, Mercedes lead, with Red Bull second.

:56:50. > :56:55.Mercedes third, Force India fourth. Ricciardo starting to come under

:56:55. > :57:01.pressure from Alonso and further back, Jean-Eric Vergne challenging

:57:01. > :57:05.Pastor Maldonado. The Frenchman has had some very good results in the

:57:05. > :57:10.last two Grand Prix and he is trying to go on the outside but Maldonado

:57:10. > :57:14.covers that and there is no way through. Maldonado for Williams, a

:57:14. > :57:18.team that has had so much success at Silverstone over the years,

:57:18. > :57:23.determined to try and keep him behind. His team-mate is behind,

:57:23. > :57:28.Bottas is in 18th. You can just see in the background, Paul di Resta is

:57:28. > :57:33.running 17. Making progress. It looks like there is some grass on

:57:33. > :57:37.the run down to turn one, it looks like there has been some bunching up

:57:37. > :57:42.as they run down into that corner and somebody has gone out onto the

:57:42. > :57:47.grass. I wonder if it was the incident involving Mark Webber.

:57:47. > :57:53.There is Mark Webber, getting past Hulkenberg. That moves Webber of one

:57:53. > :57:56.position with the damage on his car, he is in 12. What a

:57:56. > :58:01.disappointing start. It is a track he adores and he knows this is his

:58:01. > :58:11.final Silverstone Grand Prix. Vettel is staying in touch with Hamilton,

:58:11. > :58:12.

:58:12. > :58:15.the gap is one seconds. -- 1.2 seconds. The current done three

:58:15. > :58:18.times world champion is chasing Lewis Hamilton to try and deny him a

:58:18. > :58:24.home victory. Let's take another look at the start. Watched the

:58:24. > :58:27.left-hand side. Lewis Hamilton have a lot of speed of the line, once it

:58:27. > :58:31.bit, he launched away, Nico Rosberg were struggling. Mark Webber

:58:31. > :58:38.actually gets sideswiped with the Lotus hitting him and pushing him

:58:38. > :58:41.wide. Now, I don't want to take anything back here, but I will

:58:41. > :58:51.hazard a guess it is remain corrosion. They have had incidents

:58:51. > :58:54.

:58:54. > :58:57.in the past. -- I will hazard a guess it is Romain Grosjean. It was

:58:57. > :59:03.him in the middle of that pack. There was a whole group of

:59:03. > :59:07.Carlsberg. By Mark Webber must've very poor. Here is Fernando Alonso

:59:07. > :59:13.come into the slipstream little bit. In his team-mate gets an absolute

:59:13. > :59:19.flyer. You can see the incident with Sebastien Grosjean, I think that was

:59:19. > :59:24.Jenson Button who was the car alongside him and it is like you did

:59:24. > :59:29.not see Mark Webber at all. Here we are with Bottas, his team-mate, on

:59:29. > :59:38.the left-hand side. A bit of wheelspin in the second phase.

:59:39. > :59:42.Jean-Eric Vergne on his inside. All bunching up as Mark Webber, on the

:59:42. > :59:48.left of his angle... You see how difficult it is to see anything on

:59:48. > :59:54.your peripheral vision. We saw Gucci RS in the Sauber make a great start

:59:54. > :00:04.and they are running in 13th and 14th, Hulkenberg and Esteban

:00:04. > :00:05.

:00:05. > :00:11.Gutierrez. There are the McLarens. TEAM RADIO: Second quickest to Sutil

:00:11. > :00:14.last lap. They are saying that he is not running the same sort of pace as

:00:14. > :00:24.the top three, so he's going to back up the rest of the field and that

:00:24. > :00:27.will help Hamilton to a certain extent. He has bolted up slightly

:00:27. > :00:32.more. Rosberg is still there, and Adrian Sutil, coming under pressure

:00:32. > :00:39.from Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen, Ricciardo and Fernando Alonso.

:00:39. > :00:44.Daniel Ricciardo in the Toro Rosso, doing extremely well. He will turn

:00:44. > :00:49.24 years old on Monday. Tomorrow. His best birthday present would be

:00:49. > :00:56.some decent points as he continues to put himself forward for the Red

:00:56. > :01:03.Bull drive for next year. Adrian Sutil, still doing a very good job

:01:03. > :01:10.and Paul di Resta has moved up, 16th place. I think this was the move.

:01:10. > :01:15.This saw him going past Pastor Maldonado. Fairly straightforward?

:01:15. > :01:19.Nice overtaking move. He did not have to worry too much. Ferrari,

:01:19. > :01:28.looking like they have decent pace. Fernando Alonso, trying to close

:01:28. > :01:34.that gap. Romain Grosjean in 90 days. TEAM RADIO: we are changing

:01:34. > :01:39.plans, stay out for the moment. We've heard that they might change

:01:39. > :01:43.from harder tyres to get those medium tyres and get that over and

:01:43. > :01:48.done with but change of plan, as we heard, and they will stay out

:01:48. > :01:55.longer. Peris is challenging Button. Fernando Alonso challenging

:01:55. > :02:00.Ricciardo. Fernando Alonso is really charging and trying to attack.

:02:00. > :02:06.Ricciardo takes that defensive line. It looks very much like they are

:02:06. > :02:14.going for three stops. Very aggressive in the way he is

:02:14. > :02:20.positioning his car. It is possible to do only two stops but it is about

:02:20. > :02:25.those front tyres and tread depth. Perez has moved up into 10th place.

:02:25. > :02:30.Remember, they are all on different tyres. Perez is on the softer

:02:30. > :02:40.compound. Jenson Button has started on those harder tyres. You can see

:02:40. > :02:48.that fastest lap for Lewis Hamilton, building his cap. -- gap. Fernando

:02:48. > :02:54.Alonso, into that left-hander, Love Field coming up. Those grandstands.

:02:54. > :03:01.But it is not easy for him to close that gap any more on Ricciardo. The

:03:01. > :03:05.same engine in Toro Rosso as with Ferrari. They have the same

:03:05. > :03:11.blueprint which means any area of variation in horsepower would be

:03:11. > :03:20.that killed Princess. Mark Webber, he is bearing down on Jenson Button.

:03:20. > :03:30.That could make some difference. -- that would be the process of the

:03:30. > :03:31.

:03:31. > :03:37.build. TEAM RADIO: the front tyres? They are overheating and also my

:03:37. > :03:41.rear tyres. They all feel like that. But as interesting feedback. The

:03:41. > :03:46.track temperature is 32 degrees, they can do some decent long stints

:03:46. > :03:56.on these tyres. This was Perez overtaking Jenson Button. Massive

:03:56. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:04.slipstream. The RS open. Not what she could do. That neutralise the

:04:04. > :04:10.effect of Mark Webber running behind him. As long as Jenson Button can

:04:10. > :04:14.stay within one second of Perez, he can defend against Mark Webber and

:04:14. > :04:20.neutralise his DRS. And when he drops back, he will be a sitting

:04:20. > :04:27.duck. Mark Webber, he is open and I don't think Jenson Button was within

:04:27. > :04:36.those limits. It does not work on Wellington, but through Brooklyn's

:04:36. > :04:43.-- Brooke lands and Copse, he will have a chance. You can just see his

:04:43. > :04:48.plate flapping around in the wind. He had the same damage in Canada but

:04:48. > :04:53.he was able to stay out. The cost of changing the front nose is so much

:04:53. > :04:57.different to just changing your tyres. This will clean up as he goes

:04:57. > :05:03.through some laps. That could be a function of losing front downforce

:05:03. > :05:07.and running into that dirty air. will not make life very easy for

:05:07. > :05:13.Mark Webber this afternoon but he is a fighter and he will not give up.

:05:13. > :05:18.Look at the difference, he will have a go! And he does. That interests me

:05:18. > :05:23.because normally, Red Bull are not so quick on the straight. He ran

:05:23. > :05:28.wide but there is just that slight headwind on Hangar Straight and

:05:28. > :05:33.others coming across. As we look down. That is why Jenson Button runs

:05:33. > :05:43.into that headwind. You can see the offset in the distance between those

:05:43. > :05:43.

:05:43. > :05:51.crimes. Jenson, no DRS. Mark Webber has his wide open. It was more

:05:51. > :05:57.effective. Lewis Hamilton! He is out of the British Grand Prix, Shirley?

:05:57. > :06:03.! He is out of any chance of winning this race! Real drama for Lewis

:06:03. > :06:07.Hamilton! Decried cannot believe this! This is unbelievable. It has

:06:07. > :06:15.happened near Wellington straight, that is as far away from the pets as

:06:15. > :06:19.you would want. It is a long way back. We saw the tyre failure with

:06:19. > :06:24.Perez you were told was a cut in his tyre due to some debris or catching

:06:24. > :06:31.the kerb, so presumably, Pirelli will say it is the same thing, here.

:06:31. > :06:35.Doing a lot of damage to his bodywork. Ross Brawn, impassive as

:06:35. > :06:39.ever as he watches from the pit wall. But their chance of seeing

:06:39. > :06:44.Lewis Hamilton winning this is over. He will not get watch further with

:06:44. > :06:52.that. Rosberg is still in the race, second place. Sebastian Vettel is

:06:52. > :06:56.neither leader. -- get much further. Lewis Hamilton, his dreams of

:06:56. > :07:03.winning the British Grand Prix are over for another year. He had that

:07:03. > :07:11.one victory in 2008 but it is proving hard to repeat that. You can

:07:11. > :07:17.see, it is an absolute failure. It just loses pressure, and as the car

:07:17. > :07:22.spins around, it just explodes, overheating the edge of the corner.

:07:22. > :07:26.Wellington. Watch that steering. You can see it looked like a slow

:07:26. > :07:31.puncture, he was already correcting it. Onto Wellington and then

:07:31. > :07:37.absolutely imploded. Sebastian Vettel had to take some avoiding

:07:37. > :07:43.action, bits of rubble being fired at him. Sebastian Vettel leads by

:07:43. > :07:48.2.2 seconds. He has made it into the pits. Putting a set of hard tyres

:07:48. > :07:52.on, but the damage to the back of the car? They had a quick look and

:07:52. > :07:58.they sent him on his way. Hopefully, not too much damage around that

:07:58. > :08:03.Flora. That is very prone to pieces of rubber flying around. He is on

:08:03. > :08:07.his way and he will get a feel for the car. Adrian Sutil is in third

:08:07. > :08:12.place, Force India. What a fantastic result this could be but it is early

:08:12. > :08:16.days. And he has the might of Ferrari behind him in the shipper

:08:16. > :08:22.Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen in fifth place. Daniel Ricciardo in

:08:22. > :08:28.sixth position. -- in the shape of. Felipe Massa, having a think but not

:08:28. > :08:31.going through. The apex of Stowe Corner, unless you have committed to

:08:32. > :08:37.at least halfway along your competitor, you simply have to

:08:37. > :08:44.bailout. Sensible stuff from Felipe Massa, that some under pressure from

:08:45. > :08:52.Kimi Raikkonen and Lotus as they come onto the start finish. Romain

:08:52. > :08:59.Grosjean has come into the pets. That would indicate that perhaps

:08:59. > :09:08.they will go for perhaps three stops but they might do longer stints.

:09:09. > :09:17.Gary, we have seen drama again. did look like a puncture. Felipe

:09:17. > :09:21.Massa has gone off! He was right behind Adrian Sutil! Puncture? We

:09:21. > :09:27.have to wait for the replay. That was the cause of it as well.

:09:27. > :09:32.same thing, left rear tyre. There might be something out there cutting

:09:32. > :09:40.those tyres or there might be drama going on. The left rear tyre has

:09:40. > :09:47.taken a lot of load. The same area, onto Wellington. That gave him no

:09:47. > :09:56.chance. The left rear, when it goes, that is it. He was not on the kerb

:09:56. > :10:00.to much. I did not think... Another look. Pretty standard line and it

:10:00. > :10:09.goes before he even gets halfway through? Yes, either there is some

:10:10. > :10:16.debris out there but it might be Mark Webber 's rear end plate.

:10:16. > :10:21.Whether this is caused by bits of debris or other bits it might be on

:10:21. > :10:25.the circuit, whatever that is, it is very dramatic and we have lost

:10:25. > :10:30.Hamilton from the lead, he is back out, in last place, and we have to

:10:30. > :10:35.see whether Felipe Massa can make it a? Nervous times for Pirelli. Will

:10:35. > :10:39.we see a number of teams bailing out from two stops to cover the fact

:10:39. > :10:47.that with that heavyweight, as we can see Mark Webber getting his nose

:10:47. > :10:52.changed... Will we see if anybody else tries to make this three stops?

:10:52. > :10:57.I wonder if there are concerns about debris? Was that part of it? They

:10:57. > :11:03.don't want that wing disintegrating any more. Plenty of front wing on.

:11:03. > :11:08.He comes back out in 14th place. Hamilton is running down the back,

:11:08. > :11:15.Felipe Massa is back on the circuit. He has rejoined. In fact, he is

:11:15. > :11:20.running in the last place. Paul di Resta, you can see, he has come out

:11:20. > :11:26.and that is where Mark Webber was. Paul di Resta. And Felipe Massa,

:11:26. > :11:32.sorry, he has not actually made it in, yet. It has been a very slow run

:11:32. > :11:36.round to the pit lane. The same situation. I wonder how much damage

:11:36. > :11:42.has been done to the back of that car? We can notice the actual debris

:11:42. > :11:48.of his tyres hanging on the inside rim. That will flap around and

:11:48. > :11:56.damage his Flora. For Hamilton, it was the outside rim. They are having

:11:56. > :12:00.problems seating that tyre. You are always told, keep your foot on the

:12:00. > :12:04.brake until the car hits the deck. There could be a man with a gun and

:12:04. > :12:12.his hand could be stuck in, there. In his frustration, he forgets the

:12:12. > :12:15.normal rules. Kimi Raikkonen has come in am also Daniel Ricciardo.

:12:15. > :12:21.Sebastian Vettel stays out and leads from Nico Rosberg. Surprised that

:12:21. > :12:31.Mercedes have not brought Nico Rosberg back in. They seem to be

:12:31. > :12:32.

:12:33. > :12:37.going OK, in terms of his pace. So, Izzy pit lane. -- Izzy. -- busy.

:12:37. > :12:43.Daniel Ricciardo rejoins. We shall have to see exactly where he has

:12:43. > :12:49.come out. In front of Pastor Maldonado. He has not stopped.

:12:49. > :12:54.RADIO: people have been having punters, it looks like right rear,

:12:54. > :12:59.turn four and turn number five. Romain Grosjean has just gone past

:12:59. > :13:09.his team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen. He has made full advantage of that. He

:13:09. > :13:14.is on the hard tyre. Fernando Alonso will try to take the pace. And he

:13:14. > :13:24.does so, really quite easily. Kimi Raikkonen perhaps struggling?

:13:24. > :13:26.

:13:26. > :13:31.Struggling getting his tyres into the operating window. If there is

:13:31. > :13:36.any fear that those tyres are being damaged, this should the NEC pass on

:13:36. > :13:45.the Lotus. Whether that was a slight malfunction, we saw the wing opening

:13:45. > :13:53.and closing. We will find out. -- should be an easy pass. Adrian Sutil

:13:53. > :13:58.stays out. Running second and third, they have made pit stops. He can

:13:58. > :14:05.push and extract the maximum. Sebastian Vettel might have to

:14:05. > :14:08.react. One of the realities of this track is you are actually quicker

:14:08. > :14:12.coming into the pit lane and doing any time flap because of the fact

:14:12. > :14:22.that this cuts in and Mrs Ida the corner. Let's just watch what

:14:22. > :14:28.

:14:28. > :14:32.Sebastian Vettel does. -- misses the corner. Here comes Fernando Alonso.

:14:32. > :14:38.Jean-Eric Vergne has not made his pit stop, yet. Fernando Alonso in

:14:38. > :14:43.fifth position. Kimi Raikkonen has got his tyres back up to

:14:43. > :14:53.temperature. Ricciardo is running in ninth position. Riccardo really lost

:14:53. > :14:58.out on that pit stop. He was well ahead of Lotus beforehand. Kimi

:14:58. > :15:03.Raikkonen has got a chance of getting past his team-mate.

:15:03. > :15:09.Side-by-side but he has to backlight. Romain Grosjean claims

:15:09. > :15:19.the line into Maggots. It will be interesting to see, as he comes in,

:15:19. > :15:27.exactly where he will rejoin the circuit. Is Nico Rosberg faster than

:15:27. > :15:31.everyone else so far in the middle sector. And Nico Rosberg is not

:15:31. > :15:35.going to appear in time here. in the back of the shot, the Red

:15:35. > :15:41.Bull team have reacted well. Nico Rosberg will just be in the back of

:15:41. > :15:45.the camera shot in the next corner. And the distance they have done

:15:45. > :15:52.should allow them to go through on to stop race for Red Bull and

:15:52. > :16:02.Mercedes, that be one to watch -- take to stop race. Can Nico Rosberg

:16:02. > :16:11.

:16:11. > :16:16.Jean-Eric. Kimi Raikkonen just sitting back, letting the two young

:16:16. > :16:24.charges in front battle it out. TEAM RADIO: Battle is on prime

:16:24. > :16:28.tyres. We believe he is on a three stop strategy. -- Sebastien Vettel.

:16:28. > :16:38.That is interesting, they believe he is on a three stop strategy.

:16:38. > :16:38.

:16:38. > :16:46.Jean-Eric Vergne fighting. Not only for track position but for the

:16:46. > :16:51.opportunity to put his name forward to replace Mark Webber next year.

:16:51. > :16:59.TEAM RADIO: Kimi Raikkonen is faster than you. There is a comment we have

:16:59. > :17:05.heard on the radio before! The tyre has gone on Vergne! Right

:17:05. > :17:09.in front of Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. He managed to go

:17:09. > :17:14.straight, that is the third tyre failure we have seen today. This is

:17:14. > :17:22.shocking, we do not expect to see this in grand prix racing. He gets

:17:22. > :17:30.into the pit lane. Well held, that man. This is not what you want to

:17:30. > :17:34.see in Grand Prix racing. Tyre failures are very own --

:17:34. > :17:41.unpredictable. We had a message earlier from Red Bull saying they

:17:41. > :17:49.thought the tyres would be damaged on the fourth turn curbs. They are

:17:49. > :17:57.using the curbs through Becketts, the stewards are getting rid of the

:17:57. > :18:04.debris. We could get the safety car. We were watching the battle behind.

:18:04. > :18:07.The tyre just loses its structure and at that speed, 190 mph, there is

:18:07. > :18:12.no way it can maintain its structure. It has probably got a

:18:12. > :18:20.slight puncher already at this point and you can see the whole surface

:18:20. > :18:27.comes off the tyre. Incredibly well held. This is the view from on-board

:18:27. > :18:33.Kimi Raikkonen as he was trying to get past Romain Grosjean. Look at

:18:33. > :18:40.the debris that was thrown at him. The tyre made of bits of Kevlar and

:18:40. > :18:44.battle to hold it together, so not pleasant. They are trading fastest

:18:44. > :18:48.times at the front. Nico Rosberg had the fastest for a moment but no

:18:48. > :18:54.Sebastien Vettel has it back. Tom, very busy down in the pit lane. The

:18:54. > :19:01.safety car is on the circuit. Tom, it really has been pretty frantic.

:19:01. > :19:05.It has, there has been so much action. Both tyre compounds have now

:19:05. > :19:10.gone and what has been remarkable is there has been very little bodywork

:19:10. > :19:16.damage to any of the cars. Cast our minds right to free practice...

:19:16. > :19:25.TEAM RADIO: It is the state of the curbs. There are punctures all

:19:25. > :19:34.I was going to comment on Sergio Perez's failure in free practice,

:19:34. > :19:38.which the team thought was on the kerb. We had to replace all of the

:19:38. > :19:44.rear of the car when he came to the pit lane. So the three guys have

:19:44. > :19:50.been lucky so far. Some of the people who had not yet stopped now

:19:50. > :20:00.coming in. Maldonado is in, Peek. A little battle on the exit pit lane.

:20:00. > :20:02.

:20:02. > :20:06.That was Bottas, who was another one in, with Charles Pic. It was a late

:20:06. > :20:10.call on the safety car, he came out of the pit lane just as Nico Rosberg

:20:10. > :20:14.and Sebastien Vettel were on the far corner and he just missed them which

:20:14. > :20:19.means he will waive everyone past and wait for them to go round.

:20:19. > :20:23.Meanwhile, they are all being held to the safety car predefined speed

:20:23. > :20:28.limit. So they are not able to go faster than the limit set for them

:20:28. > :20:38.by the FIA. The safety car going extremely slowly. The leaders are

:20:38. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:44.currently coming through club corner -- Club. Hamilton is now running in

:20:44. > :20:47.17th. It looks like there are some tyre pressure changes going on, the

:20:47. > :20:53.teams responding to what they have seen. Worrying times for all of

:20:53. > :21:00.them. You can run higher pressures, try and keep a bit more structure to

:21:00. > :21:04.the tyre. We heard Sebastien Vettel's engineer telling him to

:21:04. > :21:09.keep up the kerbs where possible. Technically, the race is defined by

:21:09. > :21:12.the white lines, so you shouldn't be using any of the kerbs if you want

:21:13. > :21:22.to be picky about it, but it has become an accepted practice that you

:21:23. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:33.can run wider. Eddie Irving always used to say that macro Adrian Newey

:21:33. > :21:34.

:21:34. > :21:41.rubbing his head in despair TEAM RADIO: You have got to do the best

:21:42. > :21:49.you can from here. It was a very poor start by Mark

:21:49. > :21:52.Webber. Although he has not been renowned for getting away quickly

:21:52. > :21:58.off the line but it is last year Grand Prix is, they have been some

:21:58. > :22:04.of the best arts he has ever done. And it went wrong today. -- in the

:22:04. > :22:10.last few Grand Prixs. When we spoke to him earlier, he said he was happy

:22:10. > :22:14.with the starting procedure. We can see another replay here of Jean-Eric

:22:14. > :22:19.Vergne's tyre failure and the debris going into Kimi Raikkonen's car. I

:22:19. > :22:23.wouldn't be surprised if some of it found its way into radiators, which

:22:23. > :22:28.may affect the Lotus this afternoon. This is something they really

:22:28. > :22:34.practice, changing a torn to pieces tyre, but given what we have seen

:22:34. > :22:37.this afternoon, maybe the teams have to look at this in the future.

:22:37. > :22:41.practice everything but the reaction on the pit wall, that tells the

:22:41. > :22:47.story. Adrian Newey and Christian Horner, and they have not yet had a

:22:47. > :22:54.car suffer what we have seen with Mercedes, Toro Rosso and the Ferrari

:22:54. > :23:01.of Felipe Massa. I think his car is being pushed away. He is back out.

:23:01. > :23:07.TEAM RADIO: What happened? He is still running, but his tyre has

:23:07. > :23:13.cuts. We have to be careful of the left rear tyre.

:23:13. > :23:17.As matter-of-fact as ever from Mark Webber. That is interesting, it was

:23:17. > :23:24.cut out of the pit stop, not the tyre he has got right now. The

:23:24. > :23:27.engineer made it sound like he had damage to his tyre now. It does

:23:27. > :23:32.sound like the cuts were on the previous set of tyres, which she has

:23:32. > :23:34.switched from and he is on the second set of hard compound tyres.

:23:34. > :23:41.Sebastien Vettel and Nico Rosberg are on the harder compound and

:23:41. > :23:43.Adrian Sutil is on a set of the medium compound tyre. And then you

:23:43. > :23:50.have got Fernando Alonso running fourth and Raikkonen, they are both

:23:50. > :23:55.on the hard tyre. Raikkonen did get past Romain Grosjean, but had to

:23:55. > :24:02.take some avoiding action as those bits of tyre came at him. You have

:24:02. > :24:08.Ricardo in seven, Webber is now in nine -- Ricciardo. Paul di Resta is

:24:08. > :24:12.no 11th. The safety car helps Lewis Hamilton, he has the chance of

:24:12. > :24:17.getting some point this afternoon. He is now only 15 seconds behind the

:24:17. > :24:23.leader. It also helps those only doing two stops, it takes a massive

:24:23. > :24:27.amount of energy out of the car right now, they are not playing as

:24:28. > :24:32.much fuel, but the consequences you can start the car slightly under

:24:32. > :24:35.fuelled, because they got carried away, but now they can run at a

:24:35. > :24:40.higher level of power for the remainder of the race because they

:24:40. > :24:44.have not burnt the amount of fuel you would do each lap at high speed.

:24:45. > :24:49.They will be burning just over a kilo of fuel at the moment, so this

:24:49. > :24:53.changes a lot of things in the strategy. The marshals have gotten

:24:53. > :24:59.rid of as much debris as they can, they have taken this sweep road to

:24:59. > :25:04.get rid of some of the smaller parts that are out there. -- the sweeper.

:25:04. > :25:10.The stewards as ever doing a fantastic job. Over 1,000 of them,

:25:10. > :25:14.volunteer marshals and there is a special event next weekend for

:25:14. > :25:19.people who want to get involved one way or another, and marshalling is a

:25:19. > :25:25.great way to get involved. Silverstone hosting that event in a

:25:25. > :25:30.week's time. 1100 volunteers in total here this weekend, and it is

:25:30. > :25:35.great that they are having this opportunity. I'm not sure they

:25:35. > :25:38.expected to be out on track in the middle of the Grand Prix! It is

:25:38. > :25:42.fantastic to see they are all coordinated and and lead Marshall

:25:42. > :25:48.will be in contact with Charlie Whiting.

:25:48. > :25:52.TEAM RADIO: Just be aware, there have been a multitude of tyre

:25:52. > :25:59.failures. It has been weather tyres are getting hot and we think cars

:25:59. > :26:08.are running over kerbs. That is why we have warned you to watch the Apex

:26:08. > :26:17.kerb at turn two and four. Obviously the high-speed exit kerbs could

:26:17. > :26:23.cause problems. The team trying to get the point across about not using

:26:23. > :26:29.the kerb. As you were saying, it is a fairly standard part... Yes, it is

:26:29. > :26:33.the damage. That is a substantial amount of damage to the tyre. We

:26:33. > :26:43.hadn't picked up on that during the pits of itself, so that will explain

:26:43. > :26:45.

:26:45. > :26:53.Adrian Newey's concerns. And written on there was state of the kerbs. --

:26:53. > :26:59.stay off the kerbs. You can see the sidewalk has completely broken away

:26:59. > :27:08.from the surface of the tyre there and it has let go. He would have

:27:08. > :27:11.been around 150 mph. This is Felipe Massa, coming out of turn four. He

:27:11. > :27:18.runs onto the kerb with the outer tyres but it is the inner tyre

:27:18. > :27:23.shoulder that let's go. Look at the damage being done to the floor as

:27:23. > :27:30.the belt of the tyre and sidewall goes to the inside of the wheel. So

:27:30. > :27:35.it is really in the lap of the racing's gods. He rarely,

:27:35. > :27:39.unfortunately, are just in the news too often for this to be a

:27:39. > :27:42.comfortable situation for them. There has been so much controversy

:27:42. > :27:47.about tyres this year and how they are constructed and what has been

:27:47. > :27:54.going on. Earlier this season, we saw the trade coming off but the

:27:54. > :27:58.tyre still stayed up. Now we have a different problem.

:27:58. > :28:04.TEAM RADIO: It has been busy the last few laps and there have been

:28:04. > :28:09.some punches on at least three cars, mostly left rear tyre. It is on the

:28:09. > :28:14.inside shoulder. At this point, we're not sure if it's a time

:28:14. > :28:21.problem or a kerb problem. Try to stay away from the kerbs and save

:28:21. > :28:28.your left rear tyre. So lots of information. Tom Clarke is with the

:28:28. > :28:33.managing director of McLaren, You experienced a tyre failure with

:28:33. > :28:38.Perez in practice, what is your take on what is happening? All of the

:28:38. > :28:43.failure so far have been rear left, just both Sergio. We were telling

:28:43. > :28:46.the drivers to be cautious on the kerbs but I'm working in the dark,

:28:47. > :28:51.we have not heard anything from Pirelli, who are the best people to

:28:51. > :28:56.know what is going on, but it is very concerning. I think the drivers

:28:56. > :29:02.have done amazingly well to keep the cars in a straight line. What did

:29:02. > :29:06.Pirelli tell you about Sergio's failure in practice? We will build

:29:06. > :29:10.the tyre in the garage and there were some cuts on either side. It is

:29:10. > :29:14.really hard to work out what was cause and what was affected, some of

:29:14. > :29:22.it could have been as a result of the tyre moving around next to the

:29:22. > :29:30.bodywork but it is inconclusive. This is the pinnacle of motorsport,

:29:30. > :29:38.is this acceptable? The first thing you have to do is

:29:38. > :29:46.make sure that racing is saved, -- save but I want to be cautious about

:29:46. > :29:50.making sweeping statements. We are here to put on a show and the

:29:50. > :29:56.driver's health is important. it have to be a three stop race?

:29:56. > :30:01.necessarily, it depends on how much debris is left on the circuit.

:30:01. > :30:07.Gary, it is very worrying to see three of these tyre failures.

:30:07. > :30:13.reality, it was for, because Sergio Perez's was left rear as well. It

:30:13. > :30:17.looks like the kerb between three and four is the culprit. You

:30:17. > :30:22.accelerate through it quickly, it is a kink, not a corner, and it is very

:30:22. > :30:27.easy to get wheelspin. I had a look at it a bit closer when we saw some

:30:27. > :30:37.of the replays and it looks like the shoulder fails, because of low

:30:37. > :30:42.pressure and falling very quickly. Again, the Mercedes are hard on

:30:42. > :30:47.tyres, Ferrari are normally very good on tyres. We saw two of the

:30:47. > :30:54.mediums fail and one of the harder tyres fail. So hard to pick a pass

:30:54. > :31:00.through this. Some indications that some teams are changing tyre

:31:00. > :31:06.pressure, is that what you would be doing? Yes, raising the pressure. I

:31:06. > :31:11.kept an eye on some people and they were running about 15 psi and other

:31:11. > :31:15.people on 17. The problem might not be all the way through, the lower

:31:15. > :31:21.the pressure, the better traction and better movement on high-speed

:31:21. > :31:25.corners. Is there something exceptional about this circuit? I

:31:25. > :31:29.know it is high-speed with fast corners but we have fast corners in

:31:29. > :31:35.Barcelona and we have not seen these problems, we saw some denomination

:31:35. > :31:40.but not like this? Those highly dynamic loads through Becketts,

:31:40. > :31:44.through Hangar Straight, that happens at once and the tired does

:31:44. > :31:52.not have any time to rest. In Barcelona you have high-speed bets

:31:52. > :31:57.but rest between them. The safety car will be coming in. Sebastian

:31:57. > :32:03.Vettel will once again be setting the pace. Rosberg behind him. Adrian

:32:03. > :32:08.Sutil, Fernando Alonso, having not qualified well. Kimi Raikkonen,

:32:08. > :32:14.Romain Grosjean. Then Ricciardo, despite a very slow pit stop. Sergio

:32:14. > :32:21.Perez. He has gained a little bit out of this. Then Mark Webber,

:32:21. > :32:26.Jenson Button then Paul di Resta. Then we have Hulkenberg and

:32:26. > :32:31.Gutierrez. The safety car has allowed Hamilton to make up some

:32:31. > :32:38.lost ground that he suffered through that failure himself. He runs in 14.

:32:38. > :32:46.In Pastor Maldonado, then Jean-Eric Vergne. Then Valtteri Bottas,

:32:46. > :32:55.Charles Pic. Then Jules Bianchi. Max Chilton is ahead of the other

:32:55. > :33:01.future. And at the act, having in that second pit stop, Felipe Massa.

:33:01. > :33:05.-- at the back. That was uninteresting radio message that

:33:05. > :33:09.Sebastian Vettel was not saving fuel as much as he could have been under

:33:09. > :33:14.safety car conditions. Everybody just gets that feel for those tyres

:33:14. > :33:20.and really that is what this is about, than trying to heed them?

:33:20. > :33:25.Their engineer can only know how Mark was saving the fuel and looks

:33:25. > :33:32.like he has gone early. I told Stowe Corner. They would have expected him

:33:32. > :33:37.to back this up into Club. That just strings them out. Clever move. It

:33:37. > :33:45.would not surprise me if they have discussed this. If we get the safety

:33:45. > :33:52.car and we are leading, when do we go? The rest. Sergio Perez, Mark

:33:52. > :33:56.Webber side-by-side. Mark Webber unable to get through and his car is

:33:56. > :34:03.back to full fit this after having that front wing change. Under safety

:34:03. > :34:07.car has helped him. Deep and wide with Jenson Button chasing him.

:34:07. > :34:16.will be in that slipstream down Wellington straight. Perez struggles

:34:16. > :34:23.to get his car tuned in. Mark Webber goes round the outside of Perez! He

:34:23. > :34:28.loves that line TEAM RADIO: good job, watch out for those high-speed

:34:28. > :34:32.corners with that left rear. Meaning that was a good job because that

:34:32. > :34:37.work rigidly. That just shows how much information is going to the

:34:37. > :34:43.drivers. All the adrenaline from that restart and he is getting those

:34:43. > :34:47.messages on his engineer. Second place, Nico Rosberg, Adrian Sutil

:34:47. > :34:51.under pressure from Fernando Alonso. This will be interesting because the

:34:51. > :35:00.Ferrari has been looking good. who is brave enough to ignore that

:35:00. > :35:03.message? He will go faster if he uses those kerbs. Will he tried to

:35:03. > :35:10.cut back slightly and go early on the power? I don't think on this

:35:10. > :35:13.lap. Adrian Sutil has plenty of experience, he only scored points at

:35:14. > :35:19.one location in the past at Silverstone but driving well since

:35:19. > :35:28.his return to Formula One this year. Paul di Resta, still running in 11th

:35:28. > :35:34.place. Nobody seems to be avoiding those kerbs completely. In some

:35:34. > :35:43.cases, they are running out onto that green concrete. Adrian Sutil,

:35:43. > :35:51.down into the corner. Fernando Alonso used some kerb on the inside

:35:51. > :35:54.of injury. But he seems to still be pushing to try to catch Force India.

:35:54. > :36:04.This is allowing those cars of the head to make something of a brake

:36:04. > :36:04.

:36:04. > :36:09.again. On board with Hamilton. Working his way through. My

:36:09. > :36:14.goodness, that was close! That is for 13th place and the almost made

:36:15. > :36:22.contact. They did but that was almost like a delayed reaction from

:36:22. > :36:25.Gutierrez! Lewis Hamilton going for that cheeky pass and did not come of

:36:25. > :36:31.this lap but he will just find his way into position as he goes through

:36:31. > :36:36.the gates. We would like to see him closing through the left and right,

:36:36. > :36:41.can he get early on to the power? Well, gap at the moment.

:36:41. > :36:51.Straight-line speed not too bad. The GRS will be enabled as the go across

:36:51. > :36:51.

:36:51. > :36:56.the line. He loves overtaking at Silverstone. He overtook a huge

:36:56. > :36:59.number of cars and a brilliant strike that was, back in 2006. He

:36:59. > :37:03.knows just how to overtake at Silverstone but he has to get on

:37:03. > :37:07.with it if you want to get some points because he is down in 14th

:37:07. > :37:10.place at the moment. We can see the battle between Ricciardo and Mark

:37:11. > :37:19.Webber, in eighth place. But bearing down on his fellow Australian,

:37:19. > :37:28.Daniel Ricciardo. We will start to see some passes. The car is burned

:37:28. > :37:32.off about 50 kilos. It just gets more nimble, they can brake later

:37:32. > :37:38.and turn sharper and accelerate more quickly. And the smile increases on

:37:38. > :37:44.the face as these cars get faster and faster through this Grand Prix.

:37:44. > :37:47.Ricciardo being chased by the driver he wants to replace at Red Bull.

:37:47. > :37:55.There is good respect there and Mark Webber has been very supportive of

:37:55. > :37:59.Ricciardo. Look at this, back on board with Hamilton. Gutierrez,

:37:59. > :38:04.surely this time he has made that move? He makes it look very easy.

:38:05. > :38:10.Taking 13th base. That is anything but easy. But shallow line, it still

:38:10. > :38:20.would have been around 140 mph. Brave stuff and good driving from

:38:20. > :38:23.both of them. Mark Webber still not quite there. With Daniel Ricciardo,

:38:23. > :38:30.who does everything he can to show himself to read all as a potential

:38:30. > :38:35.replacement. He has to show that he can defend. They won't want to just

:38:35. > :38:42.let him through? No, he is driving for his career. Felipe Massa looks

:38:42. > :38:50.down into Club. Not on this lap. has made quite a fee places? He has

:38:50. > :38:56.gone past four cars already and is now behind Valtteri Bottas. And

:38:56. > :39:03.trying to get past Williams. Giedo van der Garde also suffered tyre

:39:03. > :39:08.failure himself. He goes wide. then Williams follows him out of 70.

:39:08. > :39:12.Felipe Massa can go down the inside. Williams don't want to get into any

:39:12. > :39:16.trouble at all. And that maintains that place. Felipe Massa will

:39:16. > :39:26.struggle just a little bit to get his GRS in an effective position on

:39:26. > :39:29.Wellington straight. Jean-Eric Vergne seems to be struggling.

:39:29. > :39:36.Valtteri Bottas left that Dora wide open. He has really got good

:39:36. > :39:40.awareness. Here comes Felipe Massa. This will be easy pickings.

:39:40. > :39:46.Jean-Eric Vergne, not running as well as it was. Yes, he looks a

:39:46. > :39:49.little bit wounded at the moment. And of course, the aerodynamics in

:39:49. > :39:58.that section of the car on the floor are crucial for running the bulk of

:39:58. > :40:06.the downforce. Hamilton in the middle of that group, he is catching

:40:06. > :40:10.Hulkenberg, little by little. Never an easy track to overtake on, here?

:40:10. > :40:16.It is not because of the high-speed nature. Clearly, it will be easier

:40:16. > :40:24.to overtake into those big stops. TEAM RADIO: keep closing that gap to

:40:24. > :40:27.Rosberg progressively. Rosberg was slightly quicker in that middle

:40:27. > :40:33.sector but that was a bit of a wiggle from Kimi Raikkonen, looks

:40:33. > :40:41.like he was caught out by Fernando Alonso? During that rigging phase,

:40:41. > :40:46.that is where they can harvest the energy. He might have some under

:40:46. > :40:51.rotation of that rear axle. And you have to react. These cars change,

:40:52. > :40:55.lap after lap, every lap, you burn off a couple of kilos of fuel that

:40:55. > :40:59.allows you to go faster, just in pure weighted terms but also the

:40:59. > :41:04.tyres are changing so there are so many variables they have to deal

:41:04. > :41:14.with. It is like the juggling for balls. Fernando Alonso, double

:41:14. > :41:17.

:41:17. > :41:22.winner of this dish Grand Prix in the past. -- they are juggling.

:41:22. > :41:28.Adrian Sutil, Force India, in that final podium spot at the moment. And

:41:28. > :41:37.he is chased by Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen? Tom? Confirmed by

:41:37. > :41:45.Toro Rosso that Jean-Eric Vergne has a damaged floor after that puncture.

:41:45. > :41:49.TEAM RADIO: minimise that... There was nothing extensively damaged

:41:49. > :41:54.after he drove past me after that puncture but Toro Rosso have

:41:55. > :41:57.confirmed it is damaged to the floor. Bad news for him. And that

:41:57. > :42:02.radio message, some overlap for a Lewis Hamilton between throttle and

:42:02. > :42:07.brake? Your left foot is the brake so it is normal that when you come

:42:07. > :42:12.of trouble, he instinctively goes on to that brake pedal at the same time

:42:12. > :42:15.but that is bad because it uses more fuel because you're powering and

:42:15. > :42:21.braking at the same time and you can use that to stabilise your car on

:42:21. > :42:24.some circus, like Japan, but you just use more fuel. This is

:42:24. > :42:30.something we have heard within Mercedes, that clearly Lewis

:42:30. > :42:33.Hamilton is a little bit more into overlapping and that means that

:42:33. > :42:37.history will efficiency is not as good as Nico Rosberg. And that

:42:37. > :42:43.affects them. You really want to avoid that were possible. Sebastian

:42:43. > :42:47.Vettel leaves. We are just over half of the distance. Lewis Hamilton,

:42:47. > :42:51.leading from pole position, he suffered the tyre figure. And we

:42:51. > :42:57.have had failures or Felipe Massa, who had a brilliant start, he is not

:42:57. > :43:01.at the back of the field. But still in this race, the third failure for

:43:01. > :43:06.Jean-Eric Vergne, struggling with a car that is not handling as well as

:43:06. > :43:11.it should be. But all 22 cars are still running. That gap to third

:43:11. > :43:17.place. Daniel Ricciardo, from being under pressure from Mark Webber, is

:43:17. > :43:22.the one putting pressure on Romain Grosjean. We look down the inside.

:43:22. > :43:26.Did Mark Webber make a mistake on that lap? He was much closer when we

:43:26. > :43:30.last saw them but somewhere he seems to have dropped away and Mark Webber

:43:30. > :43:37.finding things difficult, despite Red Bull adding a very good speed

:43:37. > :43:42.advantage, he is proving hard to make the advantage. Where has

:43:42. > :43:50.Hulkenberg gone? He has made his second pit stop. Now, Lewis Hamilton

:43:50. > :43:55.is written behind Paul di Resta. -- right behind. Faster on the brakes,

:43:55. > :43:58.massive gain in performance. Paul di Resta having to take that wide line

:43:58. > :44:02.preparing for the run down to Wellington straight. That gives him

:44:02. > :44:08.some very good entry. Strategically, that was very good play. Daniel

:44:08. > :44:13.Ricciardo gets past Romain Grosjean. He is flying at this point, you

:44:13. > :44:18.manage to stay ahead of Mark Webber and he has got past Lotus. That has

:44:18. > :44:24.allowed Perez to stay close to the rear of Mark Webber as we go past

:44:24. > :44:34.the old start-finish into Copse. Jenson Button in 10th place, McLaren

:44:34. > :44:34.

:44:34. > :44:40.in the points. TEAM RADIO: are your tyres grinning? Yes. So, front and

:44:40. > :44:44.rear? That is consistent with the message earlier and there is also

:44:44. > :44:48.some carbon on that track. Obvious the very worrying. Fernando Alonso

:44:48. > :44:58.attacking for third place. I wonder if this could mean another safety

:44:58. > :45:08.car? -- obviously. There is a gap between Sebastian Vettel and Max

:45:08. > :45:18.Chilton. In the meantime, we just have to hope that the drivers can

:45:18. > :45:22.avoid it. This section was introduced a few years ago, great

:45:22. > :45:27.spectating opportunities to see the cars through a sequence of corners.

:45:27. > :45:30.Alonso, although he was very close to the back of Sutil, Adrian Sutil

:45:30. > :45:37.has managed to open it up. Let's see if we can find out whether debris

:45:37. > :45:42.came from. It was ahead of Maldonado. It was the Sauber, I

:45:42. > :45:51.believe, which looks likely major failure on the front wing of Esteban

:45:51. > :45:57.Gutierrez. And there is as battle between Grosjean and Mark Webber.

:45:57. > :46:03.Mark Webber is real struggling pace. Esteban Gutierrez has been in the

:46:03. > :46:09.pits and is out again. Grosjean is not giving up. They had contact at

:46:09. > :46:15.the start of this race which broke the front wing on Mark Webber's car.

:46:15. > :46:19.But he has got through. This is then into Brooklands. Grosjean goes

:46:19. > :46:29.defensive. Mark Webber loves this around the outside. Look at the

:46:29. > :46:29.

:46:29. > :46:33.reigning on the inside of that front left tyre. -- raining. Grosjean

:46:33. > :46:36.makes his intentions clear, he gives Mark Webber space, that is the way

:46:37. > :46:44.they should be racing, wheel to wheel, not like at the start of the

:46:44. > :46:51.race. Into the pits comes Kimi Raikkonen, in for his second pit

:46:51. > :46:58.stop, lap 30. 22 laps to go. Maybe the Lotus can make it through to the

:46:58. > :47:03.end of the race. Again, Raikkonen coming in a little earlier for that

:47:03. > :47:08.final stop and some of the others. Jenson Button has been asked what is

:47:08. > :47:13.his preferred time he has said the option, but white sidewall tyre that

:47:13. > :47:21.Jenson Button will be getting when he makes his stop -- that white

:47:21. > :47:25.sidewall tyre. There is very little difference between the two tyres,

:47:25. > :47:28.the two compounds of tyre, that have been brought here to Silverstone, so

:47:28. > :47:36.it is really down to drive a choice as to which one they want to go

:47:36. > :47:38.onto. Back into the pits has come the Sauber of Esteban Gutierrez.

:47:38. > :47:42.Another stop him after whatever happened, whatever the

:47:43. > :47:48.disintegration was. It is a shame we didn't really get to see what

:47:48. > :47:52.happened. But meanwhile, Grosjean is definitely struggling with his car.

:47:52. > :48:00.Whether he has picked up some debris from earlier on in the race which is

:48:00. > :48:10.affecting the cooling... He was behind the Jean-Eric Vergne

:48:10. > :48:10.

:48:11. > :48:17.incident. These guys are running decent lap times. The fastest man

:48:17. > :48:24.out there at the moment is Nico Rosberg. Four tenths faster than the

:48:24. > :48:28.race leader Sebastien Vettel. Fernando Alonso is in, Ferrari

:48:28. > :48:33.reckon they can get to the end of the race on this next stint, I would

:48:33. > :48:38.think, all the way to the end. That should be just about achievable.

:48:38. > :48:41.They will have to monitor it. Maybe it is asking too much but you think

:48:41. > :48:47.they will try and do it. Raikkonen going very quickly and Fernando

:48:47. > :48:52.Alonso pretty close to the white line on the exit of pit. Grosjean a

:48:52. > :49:01.pretty good stop, to .8 seconds. Two and a half seconds for Sebastien

:49:01. > :49:04.Vettel is the fastest. So the two McLaren cars going through virtually

:49:04. > :49:10.together running eighth and ninth. Paul di Resta is into the top ten

:49:10. > :49:14.but that is partly because others ahead of him have made pit stops.

:49:14. > :49:20.There is Hamilton right behind di Resta. Pit time will cost you around

:49:20. > :49:24.14 seconds. TEAM RADIO: You're doing a good job

:49:24. > :49:32.to close down Sebastien Vettel, half a second a lap faster.

:49:32. > :49:35.As I was saying, 14 seconds per lap time for your pit stops, so as we

:49:35. > :49:41.heard from the engineer, Nico Rosberg is the fastest man on the

:49:41. > :49:47.track. Closing that gap down to Sebastien Vettel, who we would

:49:47. > :49:51.expect to react to it fairly soon. That could be an unsafe release.

:49:51. > :49:55.There is a marker on the pit wall that tells the engineer that is

:49:55. > :49:59.responsible for that when they are allowed to release their car,

:49:59. > :50:05.Ferrari could come under investigation. That is one to watch.

:50:05. > :50:11.Mark Webber is into the pits. Tom, you saw that release? One second, we

:50:11. > :50:14.have Lewis Hamilton on the attack, trying to get past di Resta as they

:50:14. > :50:21.compass the start finish line. I don't think he could do anything

:50:21. > :50:27.just here. Tom, what did you see? have it right in front of me. I

:50:27. > :50:33.don't know how an unsafe release is defined by the FIA but Fernando came

:50:33. > :50:40.straight out of his head, had to get out of the throttle, as it must've

:50:40. > :50:50.been in his blind spot and could almost hear the wheel guns of the

:50:50. > :50:55.Ferrari. It was very close. That was very good racing by the two British

:50:55. > :51:00.drivers but that was as close as you wanted. I will come out from under

:51:00. > :51:04.the table, I thought there was impact written all over that! Great

:51:04. > :51:09.stuff from Lewis, great awareness from Paul di Resta. It just seems

:51:09. > :51:13.like a matter of time before the Mercedes car can get past the Force

:51:13. > :51:18.India but they are not giving an inch. That is how you do it if you

:51:18. > :51:23.want great wheel to wheel action. Raikkonen is behind these two, so is

:51:23. > :51:29.Alonso. TEAM RADIO: Box this lap, box this

:51:29. > :51:34.lap. OK, Jenson Button is going to make his pit stop. Macau much

:51:34. > :51:41.Hamilton closes of the gap, but then he is into the dirty air of the

:51:41. > :51:46.Force India. He is not quite close enough. Paul di Resta just missed

:51:46. > :51:53.the apex, that'll give Hamilton a bit of confidence. And behind them,

:51:53. > :51:59.Kimi Raikkonen on a fresh set of tyres. The top speeds of the Force

:51:59. > :52:06.India and the Mercedes were very similar in qualifying, 308 and 307,

:52:06. > :52:12.Sir Paul is driving strategically, backing them up, to do everything he

:52:12. > :52:17.can to maximise his drive of the corner and break the DRS. Raikkonen

:52:17. > :52:27.is in front of Alonso, so the early pit stop worked effectively, but no

:52:27. > :52:29.

:52:29. > :52:35.Alonso has DRS on the Lotus airhead. We know Paul di Resta is going to be

:52:35. > :52:43.coming in at the end of the lap. Wheelspin for Hamilton, that allows

:52:43. > :52:47.Raikkonen to get up the Mercedes. He goes into Copse Corner. Watch out

:52:47. > :52:53.for the Ferrari. Alonso has to follow through. Hamilton can't do

:52:53. > :52:57.anything about it. He has tyres that are that much older and cannot

:52:57. > :53:02.respond. He put everything into trying to get past Paul di Resta and

:53:02. > :53:08.burned his tyres, overheating them and he is now vulnerable to those

:53:08. > :53:12.two cars. This is crucial. Alonso trying to get past Kimi Raikkonen

:53:12. > :53:20.but he can't do it. We think Paul di Resta will be coming in. Yes, he

:53:20. > :53:28.heads to the pit lane. Upfront, Sebastien Vettel has responded and

:53:28. > :53:31.has been able to maintain that gap. It is nip and tuck. Adrian Sutil in

:53:31. > :53:36.the pits. This is where we see whether he can hang on to third

:53:36. > :53:43.place or not and I'm not sure he's going to be able to. Paul di Resta

:53:43. > :53:46.comes in as well, it is a double stop, but Adrian Sutil has dropped a

:53:46. > :53:56.couple of places. For a short moment, we housed Germany one, two,

:53:56. > :54:01.

:54:01. > :54:07.three. As you say, Adrian Sutil has broken that. Fernando Alonso was

:54:07. > :54:12.closed there, but he couldn't do it, couldn't get her striker.

:54:12. > :54:17.Hamilton not giving up, he never does. But it is not good enough on

:54:17. > :54:22.this occasion for him to get past and Raikkonen still fends off

:54:22. > :54:32.Alonso. Surely Hamilton has got to pit in this lap? He's just losing

:54:32. > :54:33.

:54:33. > :54:37.time, not just losing positions. TEAM RADIO: Box, box, box. So Nico

:54:37. > :54:41.Rosberg is in before Sebastien Vettel. We have seen that those who

:54:42. > :54:46.pit early have got the advantage on the new tyres. There is a brand-new

:54:46. > :54:49.set of hard tyre is available for Nico Rosberg, they saved all of

:54:49. > :54:55.their hard compounds from yesterday and this is where the race could be

:54:55. > :55:01.decided. If he gets a brilliant out lap here and how long Red Bull

:55:01. > :55:09.decide to leave Sebastien Vettel out there. EToys makes you smile and her

:55:09. > :55:14.the engineers like to deliver messages and it looks like Nico

:55:14. > :55:21.Rosberg's is a fan of Lionel Richie, saying it three times as if he did

:55:21. > :55:26.not know what it would have been the first time. This lap has to be very

:55:26. > :55:30.special. We haven't seen any further tyre problems, which is good news,

:55:30. > :55:37.hopefully it'll stay that way till the end of the race. All 22 cars

:55:37. > :55:44.still racing. And the pace is good, we can actually see the guys pushing

:55:44. > :55:49.only about six seconds slower than qualifying. They have definitely

:55:49. > :55:56.been able to work hard and push at all the way through this Grand Prix.

:55:56. > :56:03.Bits of rubber debris on the track but that is fairly standard. Mark

:56:03. > :56:08.Webber is picking up the places. Sebastien Vettel moves this race.

:56:08. > :56:13.Nico Rosberg is second and now Sebastien Vettel responds. He is in

:56:13. > :56:20.the pits. I think he had enough in hand coming in that he will come out

:56:20. > :56:28.ahead of Raikkonen. Got to be a good stop. And that was the usual

:56:28. > :56:32.efficiency from Red Bull. That was a brilliant stop. 2.6 seconds. I can

:56:32. > :56:38.tell you that Raikkonen is a leader is turning into the fail. Sebastien

:56:38. > :56:48.Vettel is clearly in front as he rejoins this race, despite Nico

:56:48. > :56:54.Rosberg setting the fastest middle sector of anyone in the race so far.

:56:54. > :57:03.Mark Webber on Alonso, this is how he did it. Alonso when defensive but

:57:03. > :57:08.he left the door open. Has there been some contact here? The front

:57:08. > :57:17.wing has gone. There is contact, touching the rear of Hulkenberg as

:57:17. > :57:23.he tried to do the comeback. And here is Perez en masse. Street got

:57:24. > :57:29.massive long way back -- Felipe Massa was a long way back. He is

:57:29. > :57:33.struggling. He has been out there fro long time on this set of tyres

:57:34. > :57:41.and are beginning to server. That is Jenson Button who has just passed

:57:41. > :57:51.him. They can deploy KERS at their will once they feel the rear axle

:57:51. > :57:57.

:57:57. > :58:07.will take the 180 horsepower extra TEAM RADIO: The tyre pressures on

:58:07. > :58:17.

:58:17. > :58:21.this are very high. Intentionally, to protect the punches. Jean-Eric

:58:21. > :58:26.Vergne has been pushed into the pit garage. We saw he had been

:58:26. > :58:30.struggling and he may well be the first retirement of this race.

:58:30. > :58:35.Hamilton is in the pits, Felipe Massa is in at the same time.

:58:35. > :58:44.seems to me that Hamilton went much longer than was necessary, given

:58:44. > :58:50.that he had the relative pace. He's going nip and tuck with Sutil. This

:58:50. > :58:58.is good stuff. It is Paul di Resta he's fighting with. And Hamilton

:58:58. > :59:04.just about staying in front of Paul di Resta. This is for 11th place.

:59:04. > :59:11.The two Brits have been racing hard against each other. He has got DRS.

:59:11. > :59:15.A good spot in the excitement of where he was running. This has been

:59:15. > :59:25.a fantastic battle. And Hamilton write down the inside. He left the

:59:25. > :59:26.

:59:26. > :59:31.door open. Side-by-side through Woodcote corner. And di Resta and

:59:31. > :59:35.Hamilton into Copse Corner, this is great stuff for the British fans. I

:59:35. > :59:43.turned a Sutil into a British driver for some reason, but this is

:59:43. > :59:47.brilliant for the fans watching their two heroes go at it so hard. I

:59:47. > :59:53.wonder whether Hamilton, with the DRS enabled, should be able to make

:59:53. > :59:58.the move down towards stove. Locate defensive di Resta is going and

:59:58. > :00:05.Hamilton cannot get past. Contrasting tyres. We have Paul di

:00:05. > :00:11.Resta on the option, Lewis Hamilton on prime. There should be half a

:00:11. > :00:17.second difference, new to new. That Force India is struggling on the

:00:17. > :00:22.rear axle. This has to be a prime chance for Lewis to position his car

:00:22. > :00:30.through turn one into the Farm corner and get himself into position

:00:30. > :00:36.and well into straight. Paul has been driving fantastically well. But

:00:36. > :00:42.Hamilton goes for it! Side-by-side! Fantastic woman from Lewis Hamilton,

:00:42. > :00:51.he took that deeper approach and is no DRS macro available because the

:00:51. > :00:56.one in front, -- they went in front. That was smart stuff. As Paul was

:00:56. > :01:01.going on the defensive line, he has gone for that little boost of KERS.

:01:01. > :01:11.That is what 80 horsepower will do. Another example of an unsafe

:01:11. > :01:15.release. That is fair for position. Nothing wrong, just very close

:01:15. > :01:20.between them. Sebastian Vettel leaves, then Rosberg and Kimi

:01:20. > :01:27.Raikkonen. Mark Webber is in fourth place. Then Fernando Alonso, Adrian

:01:28. > :01:32.Sutil still up there. Ricciardo. Perez for McLaren then Romain

:01:32. > :01:40.Grosjean and Jenson Button. Maldonado, just outside those

:01:40. > :01:46.points, followed by Hamilton. RADIO: the rear is not a problem but

:01:46. > :01:52.the front is limiting. Interesting because from what we heard in

:01:52. > :01:59.general terms, Mercedes was harder on rear tyres than the competition

:01:59. > :02:04.but we also know that as a track, tyre wear becomes less of an issue,

:02:04. > :02:08.as more rubber gets impregnated into the tarmac. If you project 20 laps

:02:08. > :02:14.on one set of tyres ahead of the Grand Prix, you can typically get

:02:14. > :02:20.three or four laps more once you get into that race. At the moment, this

:02:20. > :02:24.is what the potential podium finish. Mark Webber, as last ever

:02:24. > :02:32.Silverstone Grand Prix. That would mean something. Lots of graining on

:02:32. > :02:38.that front left. Mark Webber, yes. We saw that earlier. We thought that

:02:38. > :02:40.was because of the loss of front downforce. He still seems to be

:02:40. > :02:45.marking up that front tyre and Fernando Alonso has dropped back

:02:45. > :02:53.further from him, still in fifth days. The leaders are charging.

:02:53. > :03:00.Really going a lot quicker than these guys behind them. It has come

:03:00. > :03:03.down to only 1.2 seconds. They heard rebels saying they might have to do

:03:03. > :03:08.three stops but they are pushing that more with Jenson Button. That

:03:08. > :03:13.late move from the despot he gets down the inside into Brooklands. We

:03:13. > :03:18.can see his car sparking as it runs over those bumps. Mercedes,

:03:18. > :03:23.strategically, could be pushing with Red Bull to need to do another stop.

:03:23. > :03:31.We think we are good with two stops and be sure that our driver wish his

:03:31. > :03:36.limits. Down to only 1.6 seconds. This is between Adrian Sutil and

:03:36. > :03:40.Daniel Ricciardo, right kind. Adrian Sutil in the West position any Force

:03:40. > :03:44.India has ever finished at Silverstone but he is under serious

:03:44. > :03:50.attack from Toro Rosso, also looking for their best ever result for the

:03:50. > :03:52.team here. They have only ever scored in the lower reaches of the

:03:52. > :04:00.top ten but Daniel Ricciardo is determined to show what he could do

:04:00. > :04:06.if he had a Red Bull under him. Copse corner, one of the fastest on

:04:06. > :04:12.the track. My goodness! He was too wide on the way in. Just a bit

:04:12. > :04:22.naughty, 180 mph, you must know where the car will position itself.

:04:22. > :04:22.

:04:22. > :04:28.Adrian Sutil whence defensive, is absolute right. We will put that

:04:28. > :04:34.nine to judging distances. He has to be careful because it could be

:04:34. > :04:39.regarded as true moves? Absolutely, the rules are very clear, you are

:04:39. > :04:45.not like that. Hamilton, making another move on Romain Grosjean, and

:04:45. > :04:48.Lotus, which has not looked right in the second part of this. Romain

:04:48. > :04:53.Grosjean limping slightly with his car. Hamilton moving into points, as

:04:53. > :05:03.a result. Lewis Hamilton into 10th position, despite his tyre failure

:05:03. > :05:09.earlier on. Other drivers suffering or Felipe Massa and Jean-Eric

:05:09. > :05:16.Vergne. 21 car is still running, Charles Pic running at the back,

:05:16. > :05:23.16th place. Then Jules Bianchi, Valtteri Bottas, Giedo van der Garde

:05:23. > :05:28.and Max Chilton. Rosberg was told his left rear tyre is under control

:05:28. > :05:35.so he can push. But Sebastian Vettel has responded and that gap is 2.1

:05:35. > :05:43.seconds. Rosberg was quicker for two of those laps, 38 and 39 Sebastian

:05:43. > :05:47.Vettel responded on lap 40. So, very little difference between these but

:05:47. > :05:52.this is telling us a story cars Mercedes are able to raise at front

:05:52. > :06:02.running pays and that is not what we have always seen? Is a problem?

:06:02. > :06:08.Gears? And Rosberg takes the lead! Sebastian Vettel is in trouble. And

:06:08. > :06:10.some of the crowd are cheering. They have seen Sebastian Vettel, so

:06:10. > :06:20.successful, and the Championship leader is in trouble. Coasting

:06:20. > :06:21.

:06:21. > :06:29.along. I can hear his car going into that corner. TEAM RADIO: the

:06:29. > :06:32.gearbox. Well, Sebastian Vettel coasting into retirement. The first

:06:32. > :06:41.non-finish for him of the season and Alonso has been in for his third

:06:41. > :06:46.stop. The safety car message was to move that car. That makes sense.

:06:46. > :06:49.Sebastian Vettel's first non-finish since Italy last year. And he has

:06:50. > :06:53.brought the safety car eyed. That gives opportunities for people like

:06:53. > :07:01.Lewis Hamilton in particular to move further up into that top ten and

:07:01. > :07:05.Fernando Alonso has just made his pit stop. It will be a pit stop for

:07:05. > :07:09.the race leader. I wonder if they were always planning an extra stop

:07:09. > :07:15.or if they are taking advantage of that advantage over Kimi Raikkonen

:07:15. > :07:19.and this is a safer due measure, get new tyres and don't risk any punter

:07:19. > :07:24.in the last stages? It can only be that because they were entirely

:07:24. > :07:29.comfortable they would leave things as is. And just run to the end.

:07:30. > :07:37.Disappointment for red all, but, well, look who has picked up in

:07:37. > :07:43.second place. Kimi Raikkonen, and Sebastian Vettel... Well, difficult

:07:43. > :07:46.to see that front wing with your helmet on! . -- Red Bull. Sebastian

:07:46. > :07:51.Vettel, leading the world Championship and suddenly, that

:07:51. > :07:54.advantage will be reduced. His main rivals, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando

:07:55. > :08:01.Alonso, second and third, it does not look as if they will have an

:08:01. > :08:05.answer for Rosberg but he has come into those Pits. He has been asked

:08:05. > :08:12.to comment as a precaution. Onto another set of hard tyres. He has

:08:12. > :08:20.got plenty of time. His opponents are behind. He does not need to be

:08:20. > :08:23.meteoric, fairly conventional. On his way. He is well ahead. And Mark

:08:23. > :08:30.Webber also into the pits. Mark Webber going for his final change of

:08:30. > :08:34.tyres. Gary, what drama! The World Championship reader out of this race

:08:34. > :08:43.and this one had nothing to do with tyres? Gearbox failure, the engine

:08:43. > :08:53.was running, you could see his -, he just lost his drive. -- his

:08:53. > :08:53.

:08:53. > :08:58.dashboard. All working OK. And then suddenly... He cannot find his gear?

:08:58. > :09:06.He has lost it, he is going down, it could be the drive shaft or

:09:06. > :09:10.something else. He has lost his drive completely. Christian, shaking

:09:10. > :09:16.his foot and his head in his hands. It was going so well, the lowest

:09:16. > :09:19.finish he had this year was fourth place and he has blood on the podium

:09:19. > :09:26.so many times with three wins, including last time in Canada. But

:09:26. > :09:31.motor racing is like that. Rosberg leads this race. Was that a

:09:31. > :09:36.cautionary third stop for Mercedes? Was that part of this plan? Rear

:09:36. > :09:41.tyres would have started to go, we heard the engineer telling him his

:09:41. > :09:46.tyre was wearing down and I thought it was possible to stay. For sure,

:09:46. > :09:53.it can be a safety issue, it could be making sure you have a fresh set

:09:53. > :09:59.of tyres and he had that opportunity. TEAM RADIO: I don't

:09:59. > :10:05.know, it is too late, stick to the plan. Asking the question, why did

:10:05. > :10:09.you call me into the pits? It is too late, you lose so many positions. To

:10:09. > :10:16.fight back is impossible. That will be interesting because Mark Webber

:10:17. > :10:19.is on new tyres and he will be charging through. Currently behind

:10:20. > :10:24.Ricciardo and Adrian Sutil and he is on the option so Mark Webber has a

:10:24. > :10:30.very realistic opportunity of getting onto the podium here but he

:10:30. > :10:33.will have to do some racing? That is a great recovery. To 15th place. He

:10:33. > :10:39.had a very good recovery. One of those things, Kimi Raikkonen will

:10:39. > :10:42.not be easy. The tiaras, it is possible. We know Lotus has been

:10:42. > :10:47.very good on the tyres but I think it could have been the wrong

:10:47. > :10:53.decision. TEAM RADIO: we can see the start of denomination in the centre

:10:53. > :10:59.of the tread. Presumably that is a tyres they have just taken off?

:10:59. > :11:05.would hope so. Sebastian Vettel, his car is still sitting in the middle

:11:05. > :11:09.of the track. It was the right thing to comment. They have not lost

:11:09. > :11:14.anything, it was the perfect situation, eight laps left and the

:11:14. > :11:18.safety car is still out. This could be a nice little sprint to the end.

:11:18. > :11:24.Only one retirement from this race and before this, this is the second

:11:24. > :11:29.retirement at the only retirement was Jean-Eric Vergne and he is

:11:29. > :11:34.talking to us... Difficult, scary moment, tell us about that moment?

:11:34. > :11:39.It was like a bomb on the rear of my tyre. I could not feel it coming, it

:11:39. > :11:46.just happened like this. Were you aware that this had happened to

:11:46. > :11:52.several other drivers? Yes, I saw that but this is not the first time

:11:52. > :11:58.this has happened to me. They said they were going to do some change

:11:58. > :12:02.and they made some changes. They really need to do something. Some

:12:02. > :12:07.day there could be a really bad accident. Becky. Concern from

:12:07. > :12:17.Jean-Eric Vergne. The lapped cars are being allowed to pass the safety

:12:17. > :12:21.

:12:21. > :12:28.car. Max Chilton was the other car allowed to go through. The

:12:28. > :12:33.conversation is in German. Poor Sebastian Vettel will go to his

:12:33. > :12:36.interviews trying to explain what it was like from his point of view but

:12:36. > :12:39.he had control of this race, it appeared, and Rosberg was keeping

:12:39. > :12:44.him under pressure but every time Rosberg went quickly, Sebastian

:12:44. > :12:49.Vettel was responding. We have had two leaders, Lewis Hamilton and

:12:49. > :12:56.Sebastian Vettel, who have we tired, not gone out completely, but who

:12:56. > :12:59.have lost that lead position through something going wrong. Tyre failure

:12:59. > :13:04.or a driving problem for Sebastian Vettel. And Nico Rosberg, running on

:13:04. > :13:10.board with him, is the leader, the winner of Monaco this year. Winner

:13:10. > :13:15.of China last. He neither has a huge opportunity to take victory here at

:13:15. > :13:22.Silverstone. And because behind him, Kimi Raikkonen in second place with

:13:22. > :13:27.Lotus, they run tyres... TEAM RADIO: we are on the fresh option, we need

:13:27. > :13:33.to look after those tyres. Do your best to get past all of these cars.

:13:33. > :13:36.Kimi Raikkonen, his tyres have mileage and Adrian Sutil and Daniel

:13:36. > :13:40.Ricciardo, those cars in front of Mark Webber into face, they all have

:13:41. > :13:47.quite a lot of mileage. Can Mark Webber workers way through into

:13:48. > :13:52.potentially second-place? Third place, surely? But those laps are

:13:52. > :14:00.still ticking away behind the safety car so he will not have long to do

:14:00. > :14:10.that? No, he is running out of time. The cars are getting pretty light.

:14:10. > :14:16.About 16, 18 kilos of fuel, depending on your team. Both McLaren

:14:16. > :14:21.car are in the top ten, sixth place and 70s. They could end up racing

:14:21. > :14:31.one another. Fernando Alonso has lost out but he is on a fresh set of

:14:31. > :14:33.

:14:33. > :14:36.tyres so he will be on -- he will be one to watch. And Fernando Alonso is

:14:36. > :14:40.one person who could really benefit from this, second in the World

:14:41. > :14:45.Championship, Sebastian Vettel is out of this race. But if he does not

:14:45. > :14:52.mix on progress, Kimi Raikkonen could reclaim the second place and

:14:52. > :15:02.those points? Indeed. -- make some progress. Leyton Hewitt, comedy

:15:02. > :15:11.shows some support for Othello Australian. -- coming to show some

:15:11. > :15:17.support for his fellow Australian. Romain Grosjean in 10th place. Then

:15:17. > :15:20.Felipe Massa, he might be able to move into those points. Pastor

:15:21. > :15:26.Maldonado for Williams, they still have to score any points. Nico

:15:26. > :15:29.Rosberg, straightaway, Kimi Raikkonen will try to get with him

:15:29. > :15:34.but his tyres are not nearly as fresh. It should be a very big

:15:34. > :15:37.chance at what tried for Mark Webber because he is the one likely to go

:15:37. > :15:41.on the attack. Not particularly close behind Ricciardo. There is

:15:41. > :15:47.action further behind! Nico Hulkenberg ended up getting past

:15:47. > :15:51.Paul di Resta, he has claimed a place trying to get into those

:15:51. > :15:55.points, having started right at the back of the field. This is great

:15:55. > :15:59.stuff, Ferrari stepping down the inside going into the far corner.

:15:59. > :16:03.Trying to get past McLaren. He has got Button ahead of him and then

:16:03. > :16:09.Perez and he has to watch out from behind because he has got Lewis

:16:09. > :16:13.Hamilton there. World champions, all together in the field fighting. Mark

:16:13. > :16:18.Webber on Ricciardo, done the inside. He makes that stick.

:16:18. > :16:23.Fernando Alonso looks up from the left front, Hamilton would like to

:16:23. > :16:26.see that and hope that he gets an opportunity. But Mark Webber did not

:16:26. > :16:30.take long to get past Ricciardo. Hernando Alonso, with his brash

:16:30. > :16:34.tyres, will be able to do likewise. On the run down, the old

:16:34. > :16:40.start-finish, and he has gone past before they even get to Copse. --

:16:40. > :16:48.fresh tyres. They always make such a very late move out of the

:16:48. > :16:54.slipstream. Anyway, he gets away with that. Mark Webber, trying to

:16:54. > :17:00.close on Adrian Sutil, who is in a podium face. Contact! And Perez, his

:17:00. > :17:05.tyre has gone. No contact, I think his tyre just let go. It looked like

:17:05. > :17:10.in the distance Ferrari had to do rock out from behind. Will this be

:17:10. > :17:16.another safety car? Felipe Massa is trying to get past Jenson Button.

:17:16. > :17:22.Botton does not want to give things up, he manages to hold on. Jenson

:17:22. > :17:28.Button in eighth place, Perez out of things fairly. That looked like a

:17:28. > :17:37.tyre failure. Whether they will have to bring out the safety car, we

:17:37. > :17:47.shall have to wait and see. This is the next opportunity. Coming onto

:17:47. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:54.Wellington. He will be through. is the second time this has happened

:17:54. > :17:58.to him. Mark Webber has got past Adrian Sutil. Into third place and

:17:58. > :18:05.he has Raikkonen and Rosberg up ahead. Raikkonen is definitely under

:18:05. > :18:11.threat. McLaren being pushed away. They are not having any more this

:18:11. > :18:15.afternoon. That is it, I think, for Sergio Perez, and that is a great

:18:15. > :18:19.shame. But there is still some wonderful racing going on. Paul di

:18:19. > :18:25.Resta, I think he is in front of Jenson Button. We will keep an eye

:18:25. > :18:31.on that. Paul di Resta has got into the points. As they head down Hangar

:18:31. > :18:37.Straight, the guide for Mark Webber. Kimi Raikkonen, those laps continue

:18:37. > :18:45.to take away. Fernando Alonso is nigh on Ricciardo, Toro Rosso

:18:45. > :18:52.defending fiercely. -- right on Ricciardo. Fernando Alonso has got

:18:52. > :19:00.or grep and he just drives past. -- he has got more grep. Daniel

:19:00. > :19:04.Ricciardo loses to places in one go. I'm in seventh place. Even though he

:19:04. > :19:09.has lost a couple of places. He showed great maturity, not making

:19:09. > :19:15.things easy. As we can see Mark Webber getting lined up for Kimi

:19:15. > :19:21.Raikkonen. Onto Wellington. Mark Webber has won this race on two

:19:22. > :19:25.previous occasions. He goes to the outside, this is his favourite spot,

:19:25. > :19:35.around the outside. But Kimi Raikkonen takes too much steer for

:19:35. > :19:39.him. No way through. Can Mark Webber get past Kimi Raikkonen? And

:19:39. > :19:43.constant victory at Silverstone? He has a great run! My goodness, he

:19:43. > :19:50.only just flicked out of that slipstream in time! They are

:19:50. > :19:54.side-by-side! Wonderful! Mark Webber has done it! I am not sure that Kimi

:19:54. > :20:00.Raikkonen will come back. That was brave! It was brave and it was

:20:00. > :20:05.brilliant. He left enough space for Kimi Raikkonen. And a lesser man

:20:05. > :20:10.would have driven wide. They were able to exit that one side eyesight.

:20:10. > :20:17.Rosberg is the last one on his list. Trying to get past Adrian Sutil,

:20:17. > :20:21.currently in fourth place. Fernando Alonso desperate to get points.

:20:21. > :20:31.Perez explaining what happened. And Fernando -- and Fernando Alonso is

:20:31. > :20:31.

:20:31. > :20:41.done the inside. -- down the inside. Four laps to go. Rosberg leads by

:20:41. > :20:42.

:20:42. > :20:48.1.43 seconds. Hamilton down the inside of Adrian Sutil. No chance,

:20:48. > :20:57.Hamilton takes it! Webber was actually quicker on that last lap as

:20:57. > :21:07.well. Including his pass. Well, it might be a long shot but he is -- he

:21:07. > :21:09.

:21:09. > :21:16.has got Rosberg in front. He is pushing harder. Perez, and here

:21:16. > :21:26.comes... Look at how close that was? I thought this was the result of

:21:26. > :21:27.

:21:27. > :21:32.contact. We can take another look. Tom? I am with McLaren and no

:21:32. > :21:37.question as to why Perez has retired, his left side poured has

:21:37. > :21:43.been absolutely destroyed. Carbon fibre hanging off. I spoke to

:21:43. > :21:47.Jonathan Beale and he said it would be unsafe to release that car. Well,

:21:47. > :21:52.Rosberg definitely responding to this challenge from Mark Webber.

:21:52. > :21:57.Adrian Sutil is under threat from Lupe Massa, as Fernando Alonso

:21:57. > :22:03.catches Kimi Raikkonen. Fernando Alonso has caught Kimi Raikkonen and

:22:03. > :22:12.that is for third position. If he can get past. Mark Webber in second

:22:12. > :22:17.place. Kimi Raikkonen is the one under threat. He asked his team, why

:22:17. > :22:20.did we not stop? Ferrari did stop on to pressure tyres and he could be

:22:21. > :22:30.about to pay the price. Fernando Alonso has got more grep available.

:22:30. > :22:40.He does indeed. Can Mark Webber find for tenths of a second to get

:22:40. > :22:46.

:22:46. > :22:47.himself into that zone? What about Hamilton? Let's not discount him. He

:22:47. > :22:54.Hamilton? Let's not discount him. He had a tyre failure and has fought

:22:54. > :23:00.his way back and is not far behind Alonso and Raikkonen. Could he get a

:23:00. > :23:10.podium finish? You never know. Webber has taken two tenths out of

:23:10. > :23:10.

:23:10. > :25:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:25:31. > :25:40.sector of anybody. He saw that opportunity. I am curious to know

:25:40. > :25:44.what is happening out front. There you are, Mark Webber, the double

:25:44. > :25:54.winner of the British Grand Prix and he is faster than Rosberg in that

:25:54. > :25:56.

:25:56. > :26:02.first sector. He can get into that DRS. And well placed.He has dropped

:26:02. > :26:07.so far down into that first lap. He had damage on that front wing. They

:26:07. > :26:11.had to change his front wing. And yet, Mark Webber is fighting for the

:26:11. > :26:16.lead coming here. Remarkable effort from the Austrian. And now, his last

:26:16. > :26:19.chance is coming up. Fernando Alonso is holding on to third place,

:26:19. > :26:28.Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Romain Grosjean. Another retirement to add

:26:28. > :26:33.to that list. Mark Webber is still behind Rosberg. It does not look as

:26:33. > :26:38.if he'll be able to find a way through. The chequered flag is

:26:38. > :26:44.waiting. Nico Rosberg just has too hold on for the final turn. Nico

:26:44. > :26:50.Rosberg has done it! He wins the British Grand Prix by not .7

:26:50. > :26:57.seconds! Mark Webber has fought his way through to that podium finish.

:26:57. > :27:02.Lewis Hamilton, coming from the back of the field after his tyre failure.

:27:02. > :27:06.Mark Webber set the fastest lap. And if you mourn apps and perhaps Mark

:27:06. > :27:12.Webber could have won this? If only. That is the story of his career but

:27:12. > :27:16.that is a great comeback after that incident at the start and Lewis

:27:16. > :27:25.Hamilton did not win but that is still a very good result, all things

:27:25. > :27:32.considered. TEAM RADIO: yes! Great job! Well done, make! Yes! Come on!

:27:32. > :27:37.His second win in three events. Monica was his first and Montreal

:27:37. > :27:42.did not go quite as well. He has taken victory at Silverstone. The

:27:42. > :27:49.first Mercedes win in the UK since 1955 when Stirling Moss took that

:27:49. > :27:57.amazing victory. Nico Rosberg has done this. His 28th birthday on

:27:57. > :28:05.Thursday and he has taken victory here. 35 years after Rosberg one.

:28:05. > :28:11.TEAM RADIO: really great recovery. Cheers, guys. Couple more naps and

:28:11. > :28:17.you would have gotten there! Rosberg won the international trophy back in

:28:17. > :28:24.1978. He has never won the British Grand Prix. Either Silverstone or

:28:24. > :28:29.Brands Hatch. At the something that Nico Rosberg has managed to do for

:28:29. > :28:35.his family and he drove brilliantly. He had to really think about that.

:28:35. > :28:45.All the time. -- and that is something. TEAM RADIO: great

:28:45. > :28:49.driving, well done. Shame about those tyres. That is great to hear,

:28:49. > :28:54.Lewis Hamilton seeing the big actor and understanding the long game.

:28:54. > :28:58.Rosberg wins, Mark Webber in second for Red Bull and Ferrari, in third

:28:58. > :29:06.place thanks to Fernando Alonso. Hamilton recovering, but fighting

:29:06. > :29:10.fourth place and then Kimi Raikkonen. Felipe Massa, good effort

:29:10. > :29:15.from him with that blown tyre. Adrian Sutil in seventh place,

:29:15. > :29:19.Ricciardo, scoring points again. Then Paul di Resta, in the points

:29:19. > :29:29.from the very back and Hulkenberg getting points for the first time in

:29:29. > :29:37.

:29:37. > :29:42.five races. Williams, missing out car was pushed away, Perez likewise

:29:42. > :29:47.classified, but his car was in the garage. The two that did not finish

:29:47. > :29:53.with Sebastian Vettel and Jean-Eric Vergne. But into their winners'

:29:53. > :29:59.enclosure for Nico Rosberg, and after winning in Monaco just a

:29:59. > :30:06.couple of events ago, he has now added another of the best Grands

:30:06. > :30:13.Prix, there is no doubt, as Jenson Button has been saying, some of the

:30:13. > :30:18.Grands Prix are extra special to win, Nico Rosberg winning it for the

:30:18. > :30:28.first time, bringing Mercedes back to the winning circle. Three

:30:28. > :30:36.different constructors represented, a very good getaway, damage to the

:30:36. > :30:42.car, to be in with a chance of winning it, just amazing. Mark

:30:42. > :30:45.Webber's record here at Silverstone is astonishing, he has had such good

:30:45. > :30:51.success over the years. He has not been lower than third now in five

:30:51. > :30:56.years at the British Grand Prix. That is remarkable, to be on the

:30:57. > :30:59.podium that often. But Nico Rosberg is the winner here today. And that

:30:59. > :31:05.means that he has taken two victories this season, and Lewis

:31:05. > :31:07.Hamilton has failed to take one as yet. But showing the pace that

:31:07. > :31:14.Hamilton had without the tyre failure, surely, this could well

:31:14. > :31:17.have been Lewis celebrating. Unquestionably. We had control of

:31:17. > :31:23.the Grand Prix out front, it looked like he had the upper hand on the go

:31:23. > :31:30.all weekend, but in the end Nico Rosberg was there when it really

:31:30. > :31:35.mattered. Being led away for the long walk up to the podium, which

:31:35. > :31:40.overlooks the last corner. They will get an amazing reception, once

:31:40. > :31:43.again. Mark Webber, getting very used to this feeling in the UK.

:31:43. > :31:50.Alonso, climbing up a little bit more slowly, just not look quite as

:31:50. > :31:58.John T. The smaller, he is taking every step, rather than Mark taking

:31:58. > :32:01.two by two, and no surprise that the winner bounds. Mark Webber's final

:32:01. > :32:04.British Grand Prix ends with a fighting second place, and in the

:32:04. > :32:08.championship Alonso has managed to close the gap slightly to Sebastian

:32:08. > :32:14.Vettel, but the margin of the gap means that it is still a comfortable

:32:14. > :32:23.lead. Asked in battle. -- a comfortable lead for Sebastian

:32:23. > :32:33.Vettel. 21 points is the gap at the top. Crazy stuff, that was crazy

:32:33. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:52.constructors championship, of course. Fernando struggling a little

:32:52. > :33:12.

:33:13. > :33:22.have a puncture? It was broken already all... I just had a change

:33:23. > :33:25.

:33:25. > :33:35.of front wing. I was behind you on the last safety car. They did a good

:33:35. > :33:56.

:33:56. > :34:01.and how close each of them came to having problems themselves. Just a

:34:01. > :34:05.quick note, Mercedes have moved up to second in the constructors

:34:05. > :34:09.championship, ahead of Ferrari, and that is very significant. It just

:34:09. > :34:14.shows you how much Mercedes have improved, they have won two races,

:34:14. > :34:19.second in the championship, they are a major threat for the constructors

:34:19. > :34:23.championship. The drivers championship may be more difficult

:34:24. > :34:27.with Sebastian Vettel's lead. a good point, with two drivers

:34:27. > :34:33.bringing home the point is, it looks like it is going to be between Red

:34:33. > :34:37.Bull and Mercedes. A bad weekend for Ferrari, but as ever Fernando Alonso

:34:37. > :34:41.still manages to claw back a podium finish, even though that they were

:34:41. > :34:47.not at their best this weekend. Red Bull could perhaps have had a double

:34:47. > :34:51.podium here today, it was not to be because of Vettel's retirement. But

:34:51. > :35:01.Mercedes have taken the victory courtesy of Nico Rosberg. Two wins

:35:01. > :35:02.

:35:02. > :36:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds

:36:07. > :36:14.team based just eight miles away in Brackley, and they have managed to

:36:14. > :36:17.take victory here today. So for everybody working at that factory,

:36:17. > :36:22.in the grandstand seats perhaps, or general admission, to say that will

:36:22. > :36:27.be a very special moment. This time, the men and women of Milton Keynes

:36:27. > :36:33.did not quite achieve what they have done on numerous occasions, with the

:36:33. > :36:37.win, but they still saw a great drive from Mark Webber, and of

:36:37. > :36:42.course Vettel was leading that race for so long before he suffered

:36:43. > :36:46.problems with the drive. Mark Webber, then, receiving his award

:36:46. > :36:49.for second place, yet another podium finish for the Australian here at

:36:49. > :36:53.Silverstone, he has had a wonderful relationship with this track over

:36:53. > :36:59.the years. It is the last time that we will see him in Formula One here.

:36:59. > :37:02.He lives just down the road, near Buckingham, so it is a second home

:37:02. > :37:08.for him. But Fernando Alonso receives the trophy for third place,

:37:08. > :37:15.and once again making sure of scoring good points. He has a

:37:15. > :37:19.remarkable finishing record, but snow victory to add to his tally. As

:37:19. > :37:23.the champagne sprays, a moment that Nico Rosberg has already enjoyed

:37:23. > :37:27.this year in Monaco, and now to do it at Silverstone, and of course a

:37:27. > :37:31.big event coming up for both him and the team in just one week's time,

:37:31. > :37:35.because they are going to be racing at the Nuerburgring in Germany, his

:37:35. > :37:39.home event, home for Mercedes, and with the sort of performance we are

:37:39. > :37:42.seeing now from both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, you have got to

:37:42. > :37:49.bet they are going to be in the mix at the Nuerburgring, just as they

:37:49. > :37:53.have been here at Silverstone. Hamilton, of course, finishing in

:37:53. > :37:58.fourth place in the end, despite that tyre failure. Kimi Raikkonen

:37:58. > :38:03.just losing out a few valuable places, with fifth position, that is

:38:03. > :38:09.what he had to settle for. Massa, a good sixth place, and then Adrian

:38:09. > :38:19.Sutil, best ever result for Force India, by the way, so well done to

:38:19. > :38:21.

:38:21. > :38:24.another German driver in the shape trophies have been received, and it

:38:24. > :38:28.is going to be time for the interviews now, and to do that the

:38:28. > :38:38.winner of the British Grand Prix in 1994 and 1996 world champion, it is

:38:38. > :38:39.

:38:39. > :38:43.going to be Damon Hill. No swearing! Ladies and gentlemen, Formula One

:38:43. > :38:48.fans around the world, Formula One fancy at Silverstone, what a

:38:48. > :38:51.fantastic event we have had today. I think we have seen motor racing come

:38:51. > :38:56.home to the home of motorsport, I think it deserves a big round of

:38:56. > :39:02.applause for these guys who put on a fantastic race for us today. Do you

:39:02. > :39:09.want to come down? Nico, you have kept your cool when all around you

:39:09. > :39:13.were losing theirs, there were tyres going off, cars braking down - tell

:39:13. > :39:17.me, how would you feel to have won the British Grand Prix? Fantastic,

:39:17. > :39:21.what makes it more special is that our factory is so close, and our

:39:21. > :39:25.team has done such a fantastic job. We had to come through during the

:39:25. > :39:29.season, where we had such momentum going, progressing all the time,

:39:29. > :39:33.really massively quick in qualifying and getting faster in the race.

:39:33. > :39:38.Today we had the fastest race car as well, so it is a very special day

:39:38. > :39:42.for me, and this is for everybody, all my team colleagues working in

:39:42. > :39:46.the factory. I hope many of them have been in the grandstand is

:39:46. > :39:52.watching, and this was for all of you out there, thank you very much.

:39:52. > :39:56.It was... It was a come at it race. I mean, you had two guys in the

:39:56. > :39:59.front that you had to beat, we lost a Lewis Hamilton early in the race,

:39:59. > :40:03.a big disappointment to the British fans, but you were charging and

:40:03. > :40:08.chasing after Sebastian, the leader of the world championship, and his

:40:08. > :40:12.car failed right here. What did you feel when that happens? I feel sorry

:40:12. > :40:17.for the British fans with Lewis, it would have been a great race for him

:40:17. > :40:21.in front of his home crowd, so that is a massive disappointment. OK,

:40:22. > :40:28.that is racing sometimes, and when Sebastian, yeah, stops, I mean, to

:40:28. > :40:32.be honest, I won't lie, I was disappointed with that one! And then

:40:32. > :40:41.from then, yeah, it was just a great race from them. Amazing, thank you

:40:41. > :40:46.very much indeed. What can we say, Mark? You are not from round these

:40:46. > :40:50.parts, are you? But you really are! We lost our British driver early on,

:40:50. > :40:54.you live down the road as well, what a storming drive, you must have

:40:54. > :40:59.thought it was all over, the stars didn't go well. I didn't have a clue

:40:59. > :41:02.what happened off the line! I have had two or three good start

:41:02. > :41:05.recently, but then we were back to our normal tactics, so we need to

:41:06. > :41:10.have a look at why they pop up every now and again. So that was

:41:10. > :41:14.frustrating, then I had, I think it was Grosjean, cracking the front

:41:14. > :41:18.wing on the first corner, so my first stint was compromised. The

:41:18. > :41:21.boys did a great job to put a new front wing on and we got the race

:41:21. > :41:27.under way again. There was a lot of issues with tyres, which helped a

:41:27. > :41:31.bit, but we were lucky not to have the any issues. It was a clean race,

:41:31. > :41:35.good strategy, I think that, yeah, I would have liked a few more laps at

:41:35. > :41:38.Nico, but he was quick all day obviously, and a little bit of

:41:38. > :41:42.fortune, but you have got to be there to capitalise. I am happy with

:41:42. > :41:47.second, the team have done a good job. Last time here in Formula One

:41:47. > :41:52.for the British fans, so thanks Grimmett, I appreciated. I think I

:41:52. > :41:55.speak for everyone, we would like to see more of you! I will have more

:41:55. > :42:01.races, it would be nice to win in x-rays, I don't know what country it

:42:01. > :42:05.is in, but I would like to win it! -- the next race. Fernando, you

:42:05. > :42:10.drove a storming race, and you really got caught out by the second

:42:10. > :42:16.safety car or the third, but you have to charge a way up through the

:42:16. > :42:19.field, fantastic drive back. It was a good race for us. Obviously, the

:42:19. > :42:25.last safety car we lost six positions, because the safety car,

:42:25. > :42:29.but overall I think it has been a very lucky race for us. You know,

:42:29. > :42:33.looking at the problems of the tyres, some of the drivers, the

:42:33. > :42:37.drivers that we did not have any problems, we have to consider them

:42:37. > :42:42.lucky, and then with Sebastian, the problem that Nico touchdown, we were

:42:42. > :42:46.also lucky to recover some points. So at the end, it was a good Sunday,

:42:46. > :42:50.hopefully we put on a good show in front of great fans, they have been

:42:50. > :42:55.here since Thursday, supporting all the teams, respecting all the teams,

:42:55. > :42:59.so thank you very much. certainly put on a great show, and

:42:59. > :43:06.the championship now, is it blown" to mark you have a points came on

:43:06. > :43:12.Sebastian. Mixed feelings, to be honest. Happy for the points, we

:43:12. > :43:17.reduced the gap a little bit, but the pace was not good enough this

:43:17. > :43:21.weekend. There were some other Sundays where we lost points, and

:43:21. > :43:26.maybe it was more optimistic. Today we recover some points but we know

:43:26. > :43:33.that there is a lot of work to do. I trust the team, and we are united,

:43:33. > :43:36.we have a difficult weekend, now we will think of the next one. I have

:43:36. > :43:41.to say, behind Sergio Perez, what was going through your mind when his

:43:41. > :43:48.tyre blew? I had two moments, that one with Sergio, I was so scared,

:43:48. > :43:52.and I was so lucky, because I missed the contact. And also at the start,

:43:52. > :43:56.into turn one, I locked the tyres and nearly lost the front wing. As I

:43:56. > :44:04.said, some risky moments, all of them were fine for me today, so I

:44:04. > :44:09.just need to enjoy the result, but from tomorrow working on our game.

:44:09. > :44:14.Great moustache as well, we look forward to that one next race! Back

:44:14. > :44:18.to Nico Rosberg, you are heading to Germany, second Grand Prix victory

:44:18. > :44:23.this season, and you have got a German manufacturer, Mercedes, it is

:44:23. > :44:28.going to be a fantastic event in Germany next week. For sure, going

:44:28. > :44:31.from the team's home Grand Prix here, going to my second home Grand

:44:31. > :44:37.Prix, fortunately I have two, I managed to win in Monaco, second one

:44:37. > :44:41.at Nuerburgring, so it is very special, and I'm proud to a German

:44:41. > :44:47.driving a Silver Arrow, , going to the Nuerburgring, really looking

:44:47. > :44:51.forward to that, and I think we can do a top result there, too. The tyre

:44:51. > :44:55.is going to change, you seem to have a car that is competitive, tyre

:44:55. > :45:00.degradation was not as bad. Is there any chance that this championship

:45:00. > :45:03.could be turning the tide here against Red Bull? I would not talk

:45:03. > :45:07.about that yet, but definitely the team has done such a great job.

:45:07. > :45:11.Already in the winter to come up with such a quick car, which we have

:45:11. > :45:15.had all year in qualifying, and now progressing tyre management and

:45:15. > :45:18.getting better and better, that allows us to win races now. That is

:45:18. > :45:28.fantastic to see, and it really gives me... Yeah, it is very

:45:28. > :45:28.

:45:28. > :45:32.exciting. Were you happy to continue when told about those tyre issues?

:45:32. > :45:40.There was too much of that today. But I got lucky, there. That went

:45:40. > :45:44.great. Yes. Thank you very much indeed and congratulations to Nico

:45:44. > :45:50.Rosberg and Mercedes! And to everyone at Silverstone. It has been

:45:51. > :45:55.a wonderful weekend and the sun came out. So, Mercedes have driven that

:45:55. > :46:01.they can qualify and race at the front on different types of circuit

:46:01. > :46:06.and that should ensure a sellout crowd next weekend. The British

:46:06. > :46:11.Grand Prix, anything but ordinary. We have got Ross Brawn,

:46:11. > :46:17.congratulations on today. It was a gripping race and Erica Vandal. What

:46:17. > :46:23.is your take on it? There was a lot happening. A huge amount happening.

:46:23. > :46:26.It looked pretty desperate for a Lewis Hamilton at one point and the

:46:26. > :46:31.safety car brought him back into the race and he drove a fantastic race

:46:31. > :46:37.because the car was quite badly damaged. We lost a lot of

:46:37. > :46:43.performance but he still did not give up. We had good fortune towards

:46:43. > :46:48.the end. And we had bad fortune at the beginning, so balanced out.

:46:48. > :46:54.While you change those tyres so late on? Were you surprised about those

:46:54. > :46:58.problems? We have to look into that situation but we saw that we had a

:46:58. > :47:03.problem with those tyres so we wanted to change and he complained

:47:03. > :47:07.about vibration and be decided it was safer to change it. The strategy

:47:07. > :47:12.was to stops and then use the opportunity? And if you get the

:47:12. > :47:18.opportunity, go to three without losing anything. That was the

:47:18. > :47:22.sensible thing to do and it all became available. When you

:47:22. > :47:28.congratulated Lewis Hamilton on his comeback, his mood seemed absolutely

:47:28. > :47:32.fine in the car, it seems that he has turned a corner this weekend? He

:47:32. > :47:36.can take a lot of satisfaction from the first few laps because he was

:47:36. > :47:40.genuinely in the front and he held the lead and everything was

:47:40. > :47:50.reasonably under control. He will take encouragement. We will take you

:47:50. > :47:50.

:47:50. > :47:53.through those tyre failures. Lewis Hamilton, that shocked everybody?

:47:53. > :48:00.Can you talk us through this from an engineering point of view? What

:48:00. > :48:07.happens? Is that a puncture first of all? It is too soon to comment.

:48:07. > :48:12.Pirelli were concerned that it was debris. You might have some

:48:12. > :48:20.condition on the track causing filler and we need to look into

:48:20. > :48:25.that. And how some measured response. See what can be done.

:48:25. > :48:29.you see the other one, Felipe Massa. When you actually see that

:48:29. > :48:35.explosion, it does point to tyre failure, even though it is earlier

:48:35. > :48:38.on, but did you have any of this in those tests in Barcelona?

:48:38. > :48:44.obviously that was the motivating factor. Doing those tests with

:48:44. > :48:49.Pirelli. But we did not know what we were testing. And there are

:48:49. > :48:54.obviously looking at all of the information themselves. As I say, we

:48:54. > :48:59.need to look at all of the factors and information to see what the

:48:59. > :49:04.situation is. What does this mean for the factory and the team, only

:49:04. > :49:08.around the corner. Nobody gets Monday morning off? They do not,

:49:08. > :49:14.especially with the German Grand Prix in one week. It is a great

:49:14. > :49:18.motivator for the factory and we try to balance issues with this year and

:49:18. > :49:22.next year and the team that we have put together, the engineers, those

:49:22. > :49:28.changes in the wind tunnel, all of those things are feeding through and

:49:28. > :49:32.we can see the value of that investment and the commit and of the

:49:32. > :49:35.board to keep pushing and dealing with those changes and making the

:49:35. > :49:40.investment, I hope they are seeing rewards. Thank you very much. We

:49:40. > :49:45.have Lewis Hamilton... That was a remarkable drive in very trickled

:49:45. > :49:51.conditions. Tell us about the disappointment when the tyre went

:49:51. > :49:57.out and those safety car concerns? 70 is the biggest issue. It is just

:49:57. > :50:05.unacceptable. -- pickled conditions. We had those tests -- difficult

:50:05. > :50:09.conditions. To have those tyres blowing out, that could have

:50:09. > :50:13.happened at high speed and someone could have crashed and I thought, it

:50:13. > :50:19.is only when somebody gets hurt that somebody will do something but

:50:19. > :50:23.obviously, I am very disappointed and it is down to those tyres. You

:50:23. > :50:29.did put on a great show for your fans. You must come away with some

:50:29. > :50:33.positives? Big congratulations to Nico Rosberg. It was an easy win for

:50:33. > :50:40.him, we all made it easy for him! And congratulations to the team,

:50:40. > :50:45.they have done a great job and to be on home turf and get that win, it is

:50:45. > :50:52.a good weekend. What do the drivers do with those concerns about these

:50:52. > :50:55.tyres? Do you set down with Pirelli or speak to the FIA? I think it is a

:50:55. > :51:00.waste of time talking to anybody at the moment. They can see what

:51:01. > :51:05.happened and if they do not react, that says everything. What is your

:51:05. > :51:10.reaction to those comments? I am sure he is very disappointed. He has

:51:10. > :51:15.had not anywhere near and he could see that this was well within his

:51:15. > :51:20.grasp and I am very frustrated but we need to get all of the facts and

:51:21. > :51:24.understand what has happened and only then, putting on my engineering

:51:24. > :51:30.hat, can we decide what needs to be done. Let's look at this one more

:51:30. > :51:36.time. As a driver, it was being incredibly frightening? And Lewis

:51:36. > :51:43.Hamilton was talking very lasciviously about 70? It is

:51:43. > :51:48.important this gets sorted out? course and Pirelli will want to find

:51:48. > :51:52.solutions. Lewis Hamilton, we did not see any sign of this until it

:51:52. > :51:56.happened and sometimes we get some vibration and you can react and we

:51:56. > :52:03.could do that with nickel Ross Perot, he complained about vibration

:52:03. > :52:08.and we could see that and the safety car came out so he was able to

:52:08. > :52:18.complete his lap at modest speed. But when we got the tyres, it seemed

:52:18. > :52:19.

:52:19. > :52:23.it was on its way. -- Nico Rosberg. He says, come on, Pirelli, this is

:52:23. > :52:29.unacceptable. You have a different approach? I take the engineering

:52:29. > :52:36.view on this. But I think Formula One together as to solve this. We

:52:36. > :52:41.have had this problem and we have not been given capacity and this is

:52:41. > :52:46.part of the consequences. The cars are getting quicker and they get

:52:46. > :52:52.more downforce and we are improving them and the supplier has to have

:52:52. > :52:56.the capacity to keep up and we have not given out to them. Could you all

:52:56. > :53:00.react as a group to instigate something because typically, the

:53:00. > :53:05.young driver test is about teams developing cars. Should the be an

:53:05. > :53:13.extra day? It is possible, that is perhaps something we need to

:53:13. > :53:18.consider. We need to have as representative conditions as we can.

:53:18. > :53:23.That was a great drive from Lewis, coming from the back, but must have

:53:23. > :53:27.put a very big smile on your face? With those new tyres, the lap tyres

:53:27. > :53:33.-- lap times were not great and it was then that we realise just how

:53:33. > :53:36.much damage she had done. Even though it was last performance, with

:53:36. > :53:44.audit into a better balance and we could see what he could do with

:53:44. > :53:49.that. It was exciting stuff. -- he had done. We can see that action

:53:49. > :53:57.down at Copse Corner. Impressive stuff and he will take a certain

:53:57. > :54:00.amount of satisfaction from today's result? We have got two great

:54:00. > :54:06.drivers and I can understand his frustration because something could

:54:06. > :54:10.have happened. He had the race under control and it was snatched away for

:54:10. > :54:15.something he did not have any control over. Thank you very much

:54:15. > :54:19.for today. And congratulations on Nico Rosberg 's win. Let's wander

:54:19. > :54:26.around outside. From the front to the back. Getting back into those

:54:26. > :54:30.points, sensational driver but what does this mean for Mercedes in terms

:54:30. > :54:38.of the Challenger? They have gone ahead of Ferrari? Have we got a

:54:38. > :54:43.fight on our hands? Will Red Bull be starting to think, what is going on?

:54:43. > :54:48.The evidence was some weeks ago when Christian and his team called into

:54:48. > :54:53.question the validity of Ross Brawn saying they had learned nothing at

:54:53. > :54:58.the test and read all said they had. It is difficult to argue with either

:54:58. > :55:03.side because Mercedes one here but they will be strong for the next

:55:03. > :55:08.race, for sure. They have outstanding drivers. And they are

:55:08. > :55:13.both capable of winning lots of grand prix 's. And it could be a

:55:13. > :55:18.very big fight to the end of the season. Read below are leading both

:55:18. > :55:28.Championship 's. Let us hear from Sebastian Vettel. -- Red Bull are

:55:28. > :55:31.

:55:31. > :55:37.leading. That is as close as it gets? Yes. We had an issue with the

:55:37. > :55:44.gearbox. It broke and it damaged the rest of the gearbox as well. Then it

:55:44. > :55:54.was not possible to carry on. Yes, it was a shame because we were in a

:55:54. > :55:54.

:55:54. > :55:59.very good as Asian and it was a nice race to win. -- we were in a very

:55:59. > :56:04.good position. How concerned were you about tyres and everything else

:56:04. > :56:09.that was happening? It is difficult to feel inside the car what you have

:56:09. > :56:13.done wrong because we have done lots of laps and I could see the damage

:56:13. > :56:18.that Lewis Hamilton had earlier on when he lost his were left tyre.

:56:18. > :56:22.After that, I got the call to avoid the kerbs, I'm not sure if it was

:56:22. > :56:25.kerbs or something with the track or something with the tyres. We

:56:25. > :56:31.obviously tried to be as careful as we could be an equally try to

:56:31. > :56:36.maintain position. Does it word you as a driver? Yes, it certainly is

:56:36. > :56:40.not nice to think about those kind of things. Because it is quite back

:56:40. > :56:50.with lots of high-speed corners and you are not thinking going into

:56:50. > :56:56.those corners, is the tyre going to last? Yes, you try to do your best

:56:56. > :57:06.and be as smooth as possible and equally as fast as possible. Thank

:57:06. > :57:06.

:57:06. > :57:13.you. The fans at Silverstone having a great day and I think there was

:57:13. > :57:16.possibly a moment when they thought, this is so disappointing, when that

:57:16. > :57:20.happened to Lewis Hamilton but that was just the start of the story and

:57:20. > :57:24.Sebastian Vettel was very disappointed and understandably so?

:57:24. > :57:29.He has nothing ready to complain about. In many respects. He has had

:57:29. > :57:33.the rub of the green in other races and this is his first failure of the

:57:33. > :57:38.season. Sebastian Vettel will be back very strong. He is a hugely

:57:38. > :57:43.talented driver and he has not in world champion three times just for

:57:43. > :57:48.fun. He has come to terms with the fact already and as it happens, the

:57:48. > :57:53.race went well for him, damage limitation. That is one thing about

:57:53. > :57:58.drivers, they are over it very quickly because they know the minute

:57:58. > :58:04.that drive is broken, he has tried everything, he was under full power

:58:04. > :58:08.coming out of Stowe Corner, and the gearbox is connected and he lost it.

:58:08. > :58:13.He still had the use of his peers but it was not connecting with the

:58:13. > :58:17.rear of the car. He has moved on, his lead has been reduced but he is

:58:17. > :58:21.still living. One of the heroes of today was Mark Webber. It was a

:58:22. > :58:27.difficult start for him? We know he has been slowed but he has recently

:58:27. > :58:30.been better? This was a real problem for him? His getaway was not that

:58:30. > :58:36.good but Romain Grosjean reacted to Paris and McLaren on the inside and

:58:36. > :58:39.moved over. This is the big thing we have been talking about. It is not

:58:39. > :58:44.about making aggressive moves when all of those cars are bunched up.

:58:44. > :58:49.You cannot possibly know where everyone is. If you have two make

:58:49. > :58:54.some avoiding change of direction because of an incident, you cannot

:58:54. > :59:00.do anything. Lewis Hamilton, he has really rocketed off the line. Mark

:59:00. > :59:05.has gone defensive but he is in the middle of the road and Romain

:59:05. > :59:10.Grosjean slips of the inside and turns over and get some. I am not

:59:10. > :59:13.sure how Romain Grosjean could say he did not know he was there. I can

:59:13. > :59:20.see Mark as the innocent victim in that situation but he had a good

:59:20. > :59:23.comeback. It was so spectacular, we were gripping onto each other,

:59:23. > :59:27.watching him come through the field, it was sensational? I actually

:59:27. > :59:33.thought he was going to do it. Within four laps, something

:59:33. > :59:38.happened, Nico Rosberg picked up his pace, he had communication and his

:59:38. > :59:42.engineers were telling him, the game, and he did that, he broke the

:59:42. > :59:47.momentum of Mark Webber, otherwise Mark Webber would have slipped into

:59:47. > :59:52.win his third Grand Prix at Silverstone. Passing Kimi Raikkonen

:59:52. > :59:58.at the old start-finish. Very late move, there. But look at this, we

:59:58. > :00:05.can just cut away from this, but Mark Webber left Kimi Raikkonen 's

:00:05. > :00:09.face on the outside of Copse Corner. We saw that with Romain Grosjean and

:00:09. > :00:15.Valtteri Bottas, Valtteri Bottas is very respectful but we are not

:00:15. > :00:22.seeing that from the Frenchman? Are we? We may never see that. That is

:00:22. > :00:27.his style, his DNA, I am going everywhere, and David is one of his

:00:27. > :00:30.biggest critics. But I like his speed and his style but he is

:00:30. > :00:35.showing he is not sure where he is on the track at any given moment.

:00:35. > :00:39.Let us be clear, I like Romain Grosjean but let us ignore knowledge

:00:39. > :00:43.that he is involved in too many incidents. As the team boss, what do

:00:44. > :00:48.you do? He seems to have settled down but that was a little bit

:00:48. > :00:54.clumsy? More than clumsy, what I do not like is he costs the team

:00:54. > :00:59.valuable points. I am thinking about constructors, if I am the boss, I

:00:59. > :01:04.will think about somebody who can bring that car home. Paul di Resta,

:01:04. > :01:08.Adrian Sutil, they bring the car home, they don't put the team under

:01:08. > :01:12.expensive crash damage and that is the problem with Lotus. They have

:01:12. > :01:20.one great driver, Kimi Raikkonen. What is happening with the other?

:01:20. > :01:30.Jenson Button finished in 13th place. Ultimately, still

:01:30. > :01:30.

:01:30. > :01:36.frustrating? Yes, the first thing is nobody in front -- nobody was in

:01:36. > :01:41.front and there were big problems from the first and we try to wait

:01:41. > :01:48.for a lap when we could but the other tyres on. Much happier. And no

:01:48. > :01:55.graining. Work that one out! So not great, then when the safety car came

:01:55. > :02:02.out, obviously we had old tyres and I was a sitting duck. But as one of

:02:02. > :02:09.our issues. You cannot get the temperature. That was tough. More

:02:09. > :02:13.importantly, we have had five tyre failures over the past five days,

:02:13. > :02:18.and that is a very big issue and something that needs to be sorted

:02:18. > :02:22.out. Is that on your mind when driving? Do you change how you

:02:22. > :02:31.drive? You don't change but of course, it is on your mind. At slow

:02:31. > :02:34.speed, OK, but at high speed, it is not right. And it is not just for

:02:34. > :02:39.the driver in the car, it is dangerous for all of those cars

:02:39. > :02:43.behind him. He could lose control at that speed of the cars behind are

:02:43. > :02:48.getting pet with that massive elves of rubber, which has got metal in

:02:48. > :02:56.it, so it has to change. What happens? Who speaks to do? Nothing

:02:56. > :03:01.needs to be said. We all know the situation. Thank you. Jenson

:03:01. > :03:11.Button, lost for words. We are looking at the British Grand Prix

:03:11. > :03:18.trophy. Beautiful, exactly what you want to see after a hard day's work.

:03:18. > :03:20.The bubbly or the trophy? It is all about the trophy, EJ! Possibly a bit

:03:20. > :03:27.of both. Jenson brought up an interesting point, and we saw it on

:03:27. > :03:29.track, talking about when the tyre explodes like that and bits fly off

:03:29. > :03:33.two drivers behind. We saw Kimi Raikkonen get hit by some of those

:03:33. > :03:41.bits. Have you ever been in a situation where that has happened to

:03:41. > :03:44.you? I have had a tyre failure in Barcelona, I rolled upside down and

:03:44. > :03:49.the only time I've been upside down in a Formula One car. It ain't

:03:49. > :03:52.pretty. This is a very serious issue. There has been a lot of talk

:03:52. > :03:57.with Pirelli about degradation, but putting that down to one side, which

:03:57. > :04:05.is down to beat teams to manage, now we are talking about safety. It is

:04:05. > :04:09.not just tyres, Suzi, it is not just tyres. Please remember, Massa in

:04:09. > :04:13.Hungary, a bolt out of the suspension, out of Rubens

:04:13. > :04:17.Barrichello's car caused a huge accident. Thankfully, Felipe is

:04:17. > :04:21.still in the team and stuff, but that was an horrific accident.

:04:21. > :04:25.Debris on the track can be fatal, and we must do everything we can to

:04:25. > :04:30.keep the track clear. It is one thing having an accident, but when

:04:30. > :04:36.things are flying off the car, like tyres, as Jenson has already said,

:04:36. > :04:40.then it becomes a major problem. Let's have a chat about one of the

:04:40. > :04:44.Brits we spoke about a lot before the race started, Paul di Resta, he

:04:44. > :04:50.was unfortunate, however you want to look at it, he had to start at the

:04:50. > :04:55.back of the grid but made a good fist of the drive. Sorry, David, the

:04:55. > :05:01.off after you! We have to be very sure about the quality of all. He

:05:01. > :05:05.drove brilliantly, he has done it again today after Canada.

:05:05. > :05:09.Brilliantly clean, fantastic overtaking, he is such a top driver,

:05:09. > :05:15.and he is well able to defend, we saw him against Lewis. It took ages

:05:15. > :05:18.for Lewis to get by, even on better tyres. I think Paul is an emerging

:05:18. > :05:22.talent. Maybe last year was too early for him, he was looking for a

:05:22. > :05:28.chance to go to Mercedes, and in hindsight it was a touch too early.

:05:28. > :05:31.But that opportunity will come his way, make no mistake. Paul has great

:05:31. > :05:35.speed. We know that from junior formulas. We have said before, but

:05:35. > :05:39.for those tuning in for the first time, he was team-mates with Vettel

:05:39. > :05:43.in Formula three, and he beat him in that championship. Formula One is

:05:43. > :05:46.different, but he has got all the speed, and Force India continually

:05:46. > :05:50.deliver way beyond their weight. In terms of the was also is that they

:05:50. > :05:54.have, it is a difficult one for Paul. On the one hand, he wants to

:05:54. > :05:59.be in a team that he believes he can win Grands Prix with, but Force

:05:59. > :06:03.India looked to be moving forward. Pulling well ahead of McLaren in the

:06:03. > :06:08.constructors championship, we mustn't forget that, a solid fifth,

:06:08. > :06:12.and not really fighting against Ferrari and Mercedes, are they?

:06:12. > :06:17.proving that there is plenty more to come from him, he is talking to Lee

:06:17. > :06:20.now. They complicated race, I imagine the chequered flag was a

:06:20. > :06:27.chore for most of the drivers today, were you aware of what was

:06:27. > :06:31.going on? It was a bit up and down, I did not have the cleanest race.

:06:31. > :06:35.And I lost my front wing trying to get past Nico, and we decided to

:06:35. > :06:41.change it when the safety car came out, but we lost about three

:06:41. > :06:45.positions, and that was losing out to Felipe. Another two lapse, we

:06:45. > :06:49.might have had the likes of Sutil and Ricciardo. Given the way that

:06:49. > :06:53.this weekend has been, it continues the point is run, and I'm satisfied

:06:53. > :06:58.with that, and we will hopefully get three days at Nuerburgring with

:06:58. > :07:03.smiles on our faces. How concerned are you about what you are seeing

:07:03. > :07:06.with the tyres? I am not concerned, I had no issues. Our car seems to be

:07:06. > :07:12.OK. Adrian executed what we were going to do, a two-stop race, we had

:07:12. > :07:15.no concerns. Debris is an issue. Whether that was because, I don't

:07:15. > :07:19.know, they will investigate it and do what they need to do, but the

:07:19. > :07:23.next races bubble be slightly different anyway. I think Paul Di

:07:23. > :07:30.Resta making a lot of fans here, and they are loving the sunshine here at

:07:30. > :07:35.Silverstone. There they are, I don't know, about 50 or 60 deep across the

:07:35. > :07:39.track there, it is an absolutely sensational atmosphere, as we stand

:07:39. > :07:47.here, and they are all chanting for a certain Eddie Jordan. What does

:07:47. > :07:52.that be like? They can just about member me, that is why they are

:07:52. > :07:55.going on about it. Of course it is cool! I did have a gig last night,

:07:55. > :07:59.and I have serious difficulty getting away, they had had too much

:07:59. > :08:02.to drink and were all very jumpy with the fact that Lewis was on pole

:08:02. > :08:06.position. That did not work out for them today, but they are all very

:08:06. > :08:16.happy, as you can hear. Are you staying at the campsite? Yes,

:08:16. > :08:25.indeed. You can take me for a drink. No! Remember the last race, he does

:08:25. > :08:35.the posh camping. I am in a tenth, he is in a motorhome with his mum

:08:35. > :08:36.

:08:36. > :08:42.and dad. I have not left home! you could summarise today's race,

:08:42. > :08:45.you were commentating on it, what would you say? It was an exciting

:08:45. > :08:49.Grand Prix, there are serious concerns over the tyres, that is a

:08:49. > :08:53.given. Putting that to one side, the nature of the different speed of the

:08:53. > :08:56.cars, it looked like we would see Red Bull and Mercedes run away with

:08:56. > :09:02.it, but there were good battles happening down the field, so it

:09:02. > :09:06.bodes well for Nuerburgring. Really unexpected, away from the tyres,

:09:06. > :09:10.which we have discussed, there were some really terrific real racing at

:09:10. > :09:15.there, wheel to wheel stuff that had us on the edge of our seats. We will

:09:15. > :09:19.all on the edge of our seats, and some people thought issue was a

:09:19. > :09:23.surprise winner, but he was on the front row of the grid and drove a

:09:23. > :09:26.meticulous race, kept out of trouble, but after his tyres, made

:09:26. > :09:33.sure everything was working. You heard him on the podium, he drove a

:09:33. > :09:39.solid race. We has won two races this year, he is a top contender.

:09:39. > :09:45.They must have all worked for Jordan at one stage! I think they are all

:09:45. > :09:51.waiting to get paid, that is what it is. Thanks for that, Suzi, a real

:09:51. > :09:55.friend in need! I am getting it now... I think it is the BBC they

:09:55. > :09:58.are shouting out! Nothing quite like the British Grand Prix, as this

:09:58. > :10:04.Force India truck drives in front of us and everybody starts to back

:10:04. > :10:09.away, Germany next weekend. There's not much time for them to celebrate,

:10:09. > :10:14.they have to pack everything up and get over to Germany. I am just being

:10:14. > :10:19.told that Gary has taken himself down to turn for to give us some

:10:19. > :10:23.explanations, brilliant! We have heard a lot about turn four,

:10:23. > :10:28.and we have come down to look at what be causing the spongers. We for

:10:28. > :10:31.six tyres fail in total, and if you look at this part of the curb, it is

:10:31. > :10:37.green to match the grass, but it is concrete. You can see the black

:10:37. > :10:41.lines. You can cut the corner and get the power on earlier, everyone

:10:41. > :10:45.wants to do that, that is racing, but come and have a look at this

:10:45. > :10:49.down here, and I think I can show you why the tyres are getting cut.

:10:49. > :10:53.If you take this part of the curve here, now, for example, if your car

:10:53. > :10:57.was over here with the tag, not a problem. But if you are very close

:10:57. > :11:02.to the curb, the inner sidewall is going to get caught in this. The car

:11:02. > :11:05.is sliding through this corner, it wants to go over there, and be in a

:11:05. > :11:10.sidewall is getting caught on this part of curve. They have no

:11:10. > :11:14.strength, and that is just about the height where we see the tyre getting

:11:14. > :11:21.cut and the dread coming. For me, this is a problem. Pirelli needs to

:11:21. > :11:26.act on it, but the FIA also needs to act. This is not safe. You can

:11:26. > :11:33.clearly see what he's talking about there can't you, David? No question

:11:33. > :11:38.that is catching the tyres, but as I said in commentary, every sport has

:11:38. > :11:42.a rulebook, and in football or tennis it is white lines defining

:11:42. > :11:46.the game, we are not supposed to drive outside the white lines. We

:11:46. > :11:50.all do because it has evolved like that, but if the FIA wanted to

:11:50. > :11:53.follow the rules, you could say, we will penalised you for cutting

:11:53. > :11:57.corners. They won't do that, but they will react, as the teams to

:11:57. > :12:02.look seriously at the curves, and they were as Pirelli to explain

:12:02. > :12:06.themselves. As a team boss, what would you be doing now? I would be

:12:06. > :12:11.steering towards where Ross was coming from, trying not to make

:12:11. > :12:16.immediate reactions, curtail them for a moment. What I love about

:12:16. > :12:20.Gary, and I know him well, we worked together for such a long time, he is

:12:20. > :12:26.a very analytical man, and he has pointed out a very serious problem.

:12:26. > :12:29.Because let's be clear, it is all on the left side, so what is causing

:12:29. > :12:34.the left rear tyre to explode? The right we didn't explode, so that is

:12:34. > :12:39.not going over this corner. Maybe he has come up with a real answer, give

:12:39. > :12:42.him the benefit. It is a clockwise circuit, you are putting more weight

:12:42. > :12:46.and load and temperature into those tyres, and they seem to be

:12:46. > :12:50.temperature critical. Listening to the messages from the engineers, it

:12:50. > :12:55.is all about temperatures are good, now you can push. I am just hearing

:12:55. > :12:59.that John Todd and Charlie Whiting are currently sitting down and

:12:59. > :13:04.discussing the situation, so let's hope that we don't see any more of

:13:04. > :13:08.this for the rest of the season. -- Jean Todt. One of the drivers who

:13:08. > :13:14.had not one but two tyre failures this weekend, one was previously

:13:14. > :13:16.during the weekend, Sergio Perez, we can hear from him. The tyres of the

:13:16. > :13:24.talk of the day, you have had a couple of nasty moments this

:13:24. > :13:27.weekend. Yes, we have been working so hard, giving everything, and then

:13:27. > :13:32.suddenly a tyre explodes and ruins your weekend and your work. It is a

:13:32. > :13:35.shame, it is a big concern in terms of safety. Are you talking to

:13:35. > :13:42.Pirelli about this, or will the drivers be speaking to Pirelli, or

:13:42. > :13:45.was it a problem with curves? not think it is a problem with the

:13:45. > :13:51.curbs, unless Pirelli thinks otherwise. For me, it is early to

:13:51. > :13:56.judge any thing, I think we will have to wait and see what happens.

:13:56. > :14:00.Well, Sergio Perez there. We are joined by Christian Horner, mixed

:14:00. > :14:06.emotions for you today. Yes, on the one hand, gutted to have lost the

:14:06. > :14:12.victory with Sebastian only 11 laps away, but on the other hand

:14:12. > :14:14.absolutely thrilled with Mark Webber's recovery today. Sorry for

:14:14. > :14:20.the noisier, Christian, we can't possibly think about it, you would

:14:25. > :14:29.good as you could have expected? he disappeared after about a

:14:29. > :14:33.collapse! We were there a bit longer, so it was frustrating, the

:14:34. > :14:37.issue with the tyres, that changed the complexion of the race a little,

:14:37. > :14:46.because we did not know whether it was debris or something else.

:14:46. > :14:53.Instructing the drivers to stay away from the curbs. Sebastian had things

:14:53. > :15:00.under control, but a fantastic recovery from Mark. Gary Anderson

:15:05. > :15:09.one week before the next race? There will be some interesting questions,

:15:09. > :15:14.serious questions being asked about those tyre failure 's we have seen

:15:14. > :15:23.and it is not right and I am sure that Pirelli know that with anybody

:15:23. > :15:29.and they will be keen to react and address that. Does this further in

:15:29. > :15:36.boss your belief that Mercedes did have favouritism as a result of that

:15:36. > :15:40.tyre test? Based on that blow-up, I doubt they were expecting that. The

:15:40. > :15:46.tyre test has happened, you have to move on and it is clear that really

:15:46. > :15:49.need to do something and we came close today, we could see damage at

:15:49. > :15:53.the first stop but the most important thing is for them to

:15:53. > :15:57.understand exactly what has happened and address that. In terms of

:15:57. > :16:04.Mercedes, they looked like they are getting stronger, you must have one

:16:04. > :16:11.eye on them? They are a very strong team and for the majority of the
