The Canadian Grand Prix

:00:21. > :00:31.Previously: There is some real racing here today. This is great.

:00:31. > :00:31.

:00:31. > :01:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:01:48. > :01:58.Race No. 7, Montreal. This is # At last... This might be the

:01:58. > :01:58.

:01:58. > :02:05.coolest way I have ever arrived at work. My love has come along.

:02:05. > :02:14.Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is unique. It is unique because it utilises

:02:14. > :02:17.what was the Olympic area. And life is like a song. Is that the bit

:02:17. > :02:27.from the Expo? That is their hairpin bend when Nigel Mansell

:02:27. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:34.stopped. He wound up at the end. The skies above are blue.

:02:34. > :02:40.characteristics of this track gives us such exciting racing. My heart

:02:40. > :02:47.was wrapped up in clover. This is a special place for Lewis Hamilton.

:02:47. > :02:52.He has had three wins here. Might he make it four? The car looks to

:02:52. > :02:58.be in top shape and I think he will be going all out to win. It looks

:02:58. > :03:08.like we are going to get some rain, perhaps. It makes racing all that

:03:08. > :03:11.

:03:11. > :03:19.more exciting. No traffic jams for us today because we can land right

:03:19. > :03:29.next to the track. David will be so furious. OK, thank you, no worries,

:03:29. > :03:34.

:03:34. > :03:40.goodbye. # You smile, you smile. And then the spell is cast. These

:03:40. > :03:50.moments have been very special to me. Who is the oldest man you have

:03:50. > :03:50.

:03:50. > :04:00.ever kissed? The it is going to be fine. Hang on.Is that it? Welcome

:04:00. > :04:15.

:04:15. > :04:21.to Canada, folks. # You are mine at Hello and welcome to Montreal.

:04:21. > :04:25.Sublime formula races we have had over the years. David, Eddie, what

:04:25. > :04:32.are you expecting this weekend? The weather has been offered so far and

:04:32. > :04:38.the sun has come out today. More of the same. The Grid is all upside

:04:38. > :04:44.down and we are going to be served a titanic race. We have got some

:04:44. > :04:49.terrific crowds here. I believe over 200,000. It is so popular.

:04:49. > :04:55.This is the only race we have at this end of the world. There has

:04:55. > :05:01.always been a big European fan base. It has always been very popular.

:05:01. > :05:05.Even though it is sunny now, there are some clouds around. Whatever

:05:05. > :05:10.happens, it is going to be interesting because of the demands

:05:10. > :05:16.on the drivers to control the tyres. I have just looked over my shoulder

:05:16. > :05:22.and there is Hugh Grant. He is a big Formula One fan. Do you want to

:05:22. > :05:27.talk to him? No, I want to talk about the teams. When the drivers

:05:27. > :05:31.came out on the parade there was an amazing reaction from the crowd. It

:05:31. > :05:37.was superb to be at a Grand Prix where you have got this terrific

:05:37. > :05:42.atmosphere. Unquestionably. Eddie is a rock and roll specialist and

:05:42. > :05:49.he knows there is a lot of young energy in this city, Montreal. They

:05:49. > :05:54.come here and they get it. It is a technology sport. It is rock and

:05:55. > :05:58.roll. It is, absolutely. Each of the streets seemed to be blocked

:05:58. > :06:04.off and at the top end they have got a big stage and bans are

:06:04. > :06:11.playing. It is a rock and roll bay, they embrace it brilliantly. There

:06:11. > :06:21.is every nationality here. They get the formula 15. It sounds like a

:06:21. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:47.This weekend is round seven of 19. Silverstone will be next for the

:06:47. > :06:52.British Grand Prix. And we have been hearing from the New Jersey

:06:52. > :07:02.promoter that they will be hosting a race next year, which will bring

:07:02. > :07:22.

:07:22. > :07:27.Williams are yet to score a point, but could that chase today? If you

:07:27. > :07:33.missed qualifying yesterday, you are now in for a real treat. Here

:07:33. > :07:38.is Lee McKenzie with the story. Rain and mist in Q1 meant chaotic

:07:38. > :07:43.conditions. As everyone came into Pitt, a couple of big names were

:07:43. > :07:50.caught out. Romain Grosjean could not find space on track and Paul di

:07:50. > :07:55.Resta was left angry with us his team after he could not be on the

:07:56. > :08:03.circuit on time. Felipe Massa lost control of his Ferrari in cute too.

:08:03. > :08:10.It brought out the red flag with less than two minutes on the clock.

:08:10. > :08:20.It looked like a motorway in rush hour. Kimi Raikkonen and Ricciardo

:08:20. > :08:29.were given a to place penalty. Jenson Button has to settle for

:08:29. > :08:35.Forte. In Q3 timing was crucial. Valterri Bottas put in a great lap

:08:35. > :08:40.and starts in third in his debut on the circuit. I saw after Q1 we had

:08:40. > :08:45.some chances. If you get a good lap when the track is at its best, it

:08:45. > :08:50.makes a big difference. We wear on the track at the right time with

:08:50. > :08:55.the right tyres. Lewis Hamilton had been fast or bay, but a mistake

:08:55. > :09:00.meant he missed out on pole position. The I was a bit

:09:00. > :09:09.disappointed, but it is good to be up there. It looks like tomorrow it

:09:09. > :09:18.will be a little bit warmer tomorrow. Well that Fabia? Yes, I

:09:18. > :09:25.hope it is warmer. Sebastian Vettel has to claim and convert his pole

:09:25. > :09:35.position into a win. We had a bit of luck to get onto the track in

:09:35. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:12.the best window. I am confident we As the drivers are preparing for

:10:12. > :10:18.the battle, there you can see Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso greeting

:10:18. > :10:24.each other, we have wandered down to Williams after that spectacular

:10:24. > :10:29.qualifying session yesterday. It was in changeable conditions. I saw

:10:29. > :10:35.some champagne in your hospitality yesterday. They it was not me, I

:10:35. > :10:41.did not drink any of it. It has been a great weekend so far for

:10:41. > :10:47.Valterri Bottas. Conditions are different today. What do you think?

:10:47. > :10:53.Yes, they are, but he has done a very good job. They do not have the

:10:53. > :10:57.best equipment at the moment. After a disappointing start in Monaco, it

:10:57. > :11:07.is good for the team and we are waiting to see what they can do

:11:07. > :11:09.

:11:09. > :11:14.today. Looking forward to the race, I think it is a fact you went for a

:11:14. > :11:18.higher end force. You never know what can happen here. To end this

:11:19. > :11:25.race with both cars in the points, which we think we can do with a

:11:25. > :11:30.good strategy, we will have to save. They will be the first points of

:11:30. > :11:37.the year. We did hear that if you do get some points, Valterri Bottas

:11:37. > :11:43.is going to jump into the lake. he is. In a moment of madness,

:11:43. > :11:49.Clare said she would do the same. In his that right? No, I do not

:11:49. > :11:54.know what he is talking about. are probably hoping for a little

:11:54. > :12:00.bit of rain. It is sunny at the moment, but there are a few clouds

:12:00. > :12:06.around. We think there is a 40% chance, but I am not convinced

:12:06. > :12:12.about that. We want a nice, clean, dry grace that is managed by

:12:12. > :12:22.everybody. Just a clean race for everybody would be nice today.

:12:22. > :12:24.

:12:24. > :12:32.wish you the best. Ben Ando feels confident and thinks he can still

:12:32. > :12:37.win this race. Do you think you will win this afternoon? We know it

:12:37. > :12:44.will not be easy, but a lot depends on the weather conditions. Now it

:12:44. > :12:47.is cloudy, but rain can come at any time. If it is normal conditions,

:12:47. > :12:53.the key point well-being to not damaged the cars at the beginning

:12:53. > :12:57.of the race and then to make the pace that we showed up on Friday.

:12:57. > :13:03.That is an encouraging sign. A lot depends on the temperature and how

:13:03. > :13:09.we are able to generate grip and that is the key point for everyone.

:13:09. > :13:14.Confidence levels are quite high. Felipe Massa has had some incidents

:13:14. > :13:24.in the last few races. Does that set you back as a team when you

:13:24. > :13:33.

:13:33. > :13:41.have to replenish so many spare important thing is that Felipe

:13:41. > :13:48.concentrates. I hope he can do a good race. Going back to the race,

:13:48. > :13:58.who do you think are the movers and shakers 's Raikkonen, Sebastian,

:13:58. > :13:59.

:13:59. > :14:05.Lewis. What would you expect to be the finishing order? Vettel is for

:14:05. > :14:11.sure the best one. And don't underestimate Lewis, because he is

:14:11. > :14:19.always really good. He will try to do a great race because he wants to

:14:19. > :14:23.show that he is still number one on the team. I expect a good fight.

:14:23. > :14:31.Well, it is the British Grand Prix in three weeks' time, so we thought

:14:31. > :14:37.it would be a good idea to see the first British Silver arrows driver

:14:37. > :14:46.in 35 years. You know who I am talking about. He is an absolute

:14:46. > :14:53.legend. What he was able to achieve in a car like this was phenomenal.

:14:53. > :15:02.Every time I him, he says when he was younger, he had lots of ladies.

:15:02. > :15:08.Not any more. What is going on? He has done so much for the sport.

:15:08. > :15:12.Having the privilege of having him here is a real honour. Two different

:15:12. > :15:22.eras, but two stunning cars. What is the biggest difference when you look

:15:22. > :15:23.

:15:23. > :15:28.at Formula One now? These things grip the roads. They are a whole

:15:28. > :15:34.generation above us. Would you wear that? No way would I ever wear this

:15:34. > :15:40.helmet. It is like what you would wear on a building site, or what the

:15:40. > :15:50.kid would wear on a icicle. Don't damage it! How many of those did you

:15:50. > :15:52.

:15:52. > :15:59.have? Only one. What speed did this dude? About 170. Is it true that

:15:59. > :16:09.when you won the British Grand Prix, you wore short sleeves? Yes. What

:16:09. > :16:11.

:16:11. > :16:21.happens when you are driving, do you get fires in your face? Yes. That is

:16:21. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:31.the windscreen. It is completely different. They look like your

:16:31. > :16:37.lounge seats from back home. It was a dangerous time. It was. We lost a

:16:37. > :16:47.few drivers each year F1 driver if the statistics were the same

:16:47. > :16:52.

:16:52. > :16:55.nowadays? I don't think so.At the time, it was the done thing.

:16:55. > :17:03.there an era of Formula One that you would have liked to have been part

:17:03. > :17:12.of? Around the mid-80s, the cars looked fantastic. They did not look

:17:12. > :17:17.like they had too much downforce. I hate driving in the wet. They are

:17:17. > :17:27.horrible. They snap so fast. Even if you have the fastest reactions, it

:17:27. > :17:37.is so hard to catch it. Look at that for an engine. Isn't it beautiful?

:17:37. > :17:38.

:17:38. > :17:46.It is a straight edge. Fuel injection. He says his wheels are as

:17:46. > :17:53.heavy as that. It is the weight of the wheel that gets me. What makes

:17:53. > :18:03.it so heavy? It is all the switches you have. The dashboard.How can you

:18:03. > :18:04.

:18:04. > :18:14.read it? There is nothing on there. When you start, you pull either

:18:14. > :18:14.

:18:14. > :18:18.side. Then you get to half throttle, and the lights will come on here.

:18:18. > :18:28.Then you look at the lights and you have to release one, and one second

:18:28. > :18:29.

:18:29. > :18:34.letter, you release the other one. Boy. What did you do when you were

:18:34. > :18:44.about to start a Grand Prix? Check the instruments, look across at the

:18:44. > :18:47.

:18:47. > :18:54.other guy, hope you would make him feel bad. What was that look?If you

:18:54. > :19:01.looked relaxed, they must think you were better off than you are.

:19:01. > :19:04.could learn from that. That is where our discussion ends. It has been a

:19:04. > :19:10.pleasure spending time with you both. I hope you have enjoyed it as

:19:10. > :19:20.much as our viewers. It is great to see you. I can't tell you I would

:19:20. > :19:21.

:19:21. > :19:24.like to go in that. It would be the same for me!

:19:24. > :19:34.Absolutely furious. What a wonderful piece that was. So incredible to see

:19:34. > :19:38.the difference. And you could see the respect that Lewis has. He is in

:19:38. > :19:47.or of what was being done at that time. Formula One cars were fast and

:19:47. > :19:52.incredibly dangerous, but the technology was cutting-edge. Let's

:19:52. > :19:57.go onto the grid. They are almost two different sports. You say that,

:19:57. > :20:01.but it was still the fastest form of closest circuit racing and that was

:20:01. > :20:10.the best technology available at the time. That is what unites the

:20:10. > :20:14.drivers over the history of Formula One. We are hoping to find Mr Jordan

:20:14. > :20:20.at the front. If you have missed the headlines me yesterday we talked at

:20:20. > :20:23.length about what we have called Ty Gate, which was Mercedes doing a

:20:23. > :20:27.thousand kilometre test with Pirelli after the Barcelona Grand Prix. The

:20:27. > :20:33.problem with that was that they used the 2013 car and none of the

:20:33. > :20:35.products knew about it, so Red Bull launched a complaint. It is now with

:20:35. > :20:43.the international tribunal. We hope that will happen before

:20:43. > :20:47.Silverstone. It has been recommended by the sporting group that there

:20:47. > :20:52.will be four tests next year, which would be great, because it is so

:20:52. > :20:57.difficult for tyre companies to get information without tests. They took

:20:57. > :21:00.away end of season testing to reduce the overall spending that was

:21:00. > :21:06.necessary to be competitive in Formula One. But if Formula One

:21:06. > :21:08.teams don't have the ability to go on track, they spend on our run the

:21:08. > :21:14.facilities and high-tech simulators. So there was an argument to say,

:21:14. > :21:18.let's trade that virtual world and give the tyre manufacturers and

:21:18. > :21:22.drivers a chance to get on the track and prove it in real-time. You can

:21:22. > :21:30.simulate all you like, but there is nothing like a stopwatch for telling

:21:30. > :21:35.you whether you have a quick car or a safe tyre. There you are. We are

:21:35. > :21:41.spoilt for choice. We have two protagonists, Paul Henry from

:21:41. > :21:48.Pirelli. What I would love to know what is being said there. They are

:21:48. > :21:54.getting ready for the tribunal. Every time in Canada, it is actually

:21:54. > :22:03.Monaco in North America. We have people from England, and anybody who

:22:03. > :22:10.knows anything about X-Men, here are X-Men in the extreme. BBC. What are

:22:10. > :22:20.you doing here? You are with Caterham, but we know you support

:22:20. > :22:21.

:22:21. > :22:27.McLaren. We are with Caterham this weekend. James is trying to but in

:22:27. > :22:33.here. He likes green, because he is a big Celtic fan. There is a driver

:22:33. > :22:41.on this grid, and he has a brother who plays for your favourite team,

:22:41. > :22:46.Celtic. That is Paul di Resta. Did you know that? He is the only

:22:46. > :22:54.Scottish driver, right? I wish we still had David Coulthard, because

:22:54. > :22:59.then he would not be driving me mad. What brings you to Formula

:22:59. > :23:03.One? What excites you about it? have been watching it since I was a

:23:04. > :23:08.kid. It seems like science fiction to me on TV. Then I get here and

:23:08. > :23:15.look at the cars, and I am not joking, they have got gaffer tape on

:23:15. > :23:19.them holding bits together. They are made of carbon fibre, but they are

:23:19. > :23:29.also made of Sellotape. Don't be telling too many stories like that!

:23:29. > :23:33.That is the secret. Paul, you are in the dock at the moment. I bet you

:23:33. > :23:38.wish this weekend was over? It has been a normal week, but always a

:23:38. > :23:45.great race this week. I went on a date this week, that was the biggest

:23:45. > :23:50.problem I had. But it did not work out. What do you expect here?

:23:50. > :23:59.Obviously, they have lots of choices with the tyres. We think they will

:23:59. > :24:06.start on the supersoft before going on to the medium. I don't think they

:24:06. > :24:10.will do a 1-stop race. We wish you the best. You are a good sport over

:24:10. > :24:15.the tribunal. Let's see the big surprise of the weekend. For me

:24:15. > :24:18.anyway, he was amazing. We are familiar with Finnish drivers up

:24:18. > :24:24.near the front of the grid, but no one in their right mind... Hang on,

:24:24. > :24:29.I will come back to you in a second. Valtteri Bottas was one of the

:24:29. > :24:35.biggest story is not just yesterday, but of the season. What he has done

:24:35. > :24:45.has been amazing. How are you feeling? Feeling good. Should be an

:24:45. > :24:46.

:24:46. > :24:50.interesting race. Looks like it will at least be dry at the beginning.

:24:50. > :24:57.You are running a lot of downforce. Will that hurt you on the straight?

:24:57. > :25:06.May be a bit. Just need to get a good exit from the hairpin.

:25:06. > :25:16.points on the board? That is the goal. You said you would jump in the

:25:16. > :25:18.

:25:18. > :25:20.lake if you scored points. We wish you luck. There seems to be a war

:25:20. > :25:25.going on between the people in X-Men, because they all seem to be

:25:25. > :25:35.here. I saw Michael Fassbender out of the corner of my eye. I am trying

:25:35. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:43.to figure out where I might find him. He was brought up and educated

:25:43. > :25:47.in County Kerry, my own homeland. What are you doing here? Just

:25:47. > :25:53.thought I would come for a bit of motorists in. We are actually

:25:53. > :25:59.filming in Montreal at the moment, doing the next instalment of X-Men.

:25:59. > :26:06.I am being a mutant. Your co-star, James McAvoy, he says these leading

:26:06. > :26:16.ladies are better than yours. What is the reply? He is right. It is the

:26:16. > :26:18.

:26:18. > :26:23.Scottish charm. I can't compete against it. Good to see you. Believe

:26:23. > :26:30.it or not, it seems strange that Red Bull have yet to win this race. Yes,

:26:30. > :26:35.Pole position, but Sebastian, who did a brilliant job yesterday, the

:26:35. > :26:40.man who arguably should have won is back in fifth place and he feels

:26:40. > :26:44.strong about this race. We will have a word with Mark Webber. Before he

:26:44. > :26:51.comes to Silverstone, where he is an expert, we will have a quick word

:26:51. > :27:01.with him. We will just pass by Bernie. You can't get away from me

:27:01. > :27:04.

:27:04. > :27:12.that easy. I will have to handcuff him. You are trying to choke me!Are

:27:12. > :27:20.we going to have lots more races in Canada? We are trying.Leave

:27:20. > :27:26.something on the table for the next guy. The reason we had complete with

:27:26. > :27:33.Silverstone is the same here. going to Silverstone for the next

:27:33. > :27:40.race. Don't be so hard on it. it is good. But this is a bit tired

:27:40. > :27:43.now. Well, we love it here. The day before you last, you had the

:27:43. > :27:49.representatives here from New Jersey. Are we likely to see

:27:49. > :27:55.progress that? We are trying. easy. Does that mean yes?It means

:27:55. > :28:03.we are trying. You only try when you know you can succeed. We are doing

:28:03. > :28:09.our best. Have a good time. And the man beside us in the leading Ferrari

:28:09. > :28:12.because Felipe had a problem at the weekend. I heard a report about

:28:12. > :28:17.Fernando will stop he believes, with the downforce he has got, he

:28:17. > :28:23.believes he can win this race. We would be served up with a titanic

:28:23. > :28:29.race if he could do that. Yes, I know this grid is not exactly

:28:29. > :28:32.forming like we would have expected because of the race and the rain.

:28:32. > :28:39.But this is one of the cars you have got to look out for. Behind him,

:28:43. > :28:53.and catch his eye will stop this is my home territory here, like Force

:28:53. > :29:12.

:29:12. > :29:17.I remember the battles we used to have in the past. Force India, you

:29:17. > :29:26.see it here, I think it has been one of the success stories of the

:29:26. > :29:32.season. May I talk now? You had a great race, one of the stars of the

:29:32. > :29:39.race in Monaco. Will you repeat that here? I always try. Every race

:29:39. > :29:44.has its chances and possibilities. I really look forward to it. We

:29:44. > :29:50.finally have good weather here. car is perfect for these conditions.

:29:50. > :29:56.You should be battling away at the front. We have had some good

:29:56. > :30:03.results already and you always want to improve, that is normal. I wish

:30:03. > :30:09.you well. Thank you for being such a lady. She is great. Where is Kimi

:30:09. > :30:16.Raikkonen. He is such a favourite, but he is not the leading Finnish

:30:16. > :30:20.man in this race. He probably will not speak to me. He is there and

:30:20. > :30:25.this is a surprise. He is very quiet. I would like to know which

:30:25. > :30:29.of those actors we saw would like to play Kimi Raikkonen in a movie

:30:29. > :30:36.about Formula One. We will leave him in peace and let him get on

:30:36. > :30:46.with what he is doing. This has been an amazing Grand Prix in terms

:30:46. > :30:51.

:30:51. > :30:57.of the VIPs. I am looking for her Sergio Perez. Mexico is desperate

:30:57. > :31:02.to get a new Grand Prix and we would be happy to go there. He is

:31:02. > :31:08.talking to his engineer. He is leading his team at the moment in

:31:08. > :31:14.terms of performance. He and Jenson Button are having big, titanic

:31:14. > :31:20.battles. You are surrounded. Your father is here and the ex-president

:31:20. > :31:27.is here and half of Mexico is here. This is almost your home race.

:31:27. > :31:33.almost. It is the closest one to home this season. I have a lot of

:31:33. > :31:38.support here. I am very confident with the car. We were unlucky

:31:38. > :31:42.yesterday, but today we can do a good race. You are exerting your

:31:42. > :31:48.own aggression and you are not perturbed by what people are saying.

:31:48. > :31:53.How strong is that for you and your mind set to do your own race?

:31:53. > :31:59.come here to do my job and at the end of the day I have to do my best

:31:59. > :32:04.for the team. It means I have to try to fight the others. I do not

:32:04. > :32:11.care who they are. I have a lot of respect for the world champions

:32:11. > :32:16.especially. But during the race they are just one more driver and I

:32:16. > :32:23.will attack them just as much as any other driver. We wish you a

:32:23. > :32:28.great race. You could get McLaren some decent points.

:32:28. > :32:35.This is just one of those races where drivers can come from the

:32:35. > :32:39.blunt end of the field. David did it in 2008. It is going to be

:32:39. > :32:44.fantastic and there will be overtaking and Daniel Ricciardo has

:32:44. > :32:51.been talking to Lee McKenzie. He took a penalty yesterday, what

:32:51. > :32:57.are your thoughts on that? I got it, so I cannot do much else. In the

:32:57. > :33:02.end it worked out to be only one place. One place is one place, but

:33:02. > :33:07.people have been given five and 10 players penalties before, so that

:33:07. > :33:12.is a lenient one. A you looked strong out there, can that

:33:12. > :33:22.translates into the race? I was happier in the dry, to be honest,

:33:22. > :33:25.

:33:25. > :33:34.so I am pleased the sun is out. Good luck.

:33:34. > :33:40.John Eric Vergne concentrating and it is fantastic and hot here.

:33:41. > :33:44.is his best ever qualifying. He feels very strong. They have a very

:33:44. > :33:49.fast downforce set-up and they will be strong in this race as well.

:33:49. > :33:54.Somebody who did not do so well in Monaco is Romain Grosjean. You are

:33:54. > :34:00.starting at the back. Are you going to start in the pit lane or at the

:34:00. > :34:05.back of the grid? The back of the grid. Hopefully we can do a good

:34:05. > :34:11.race. You had a good race here last year. Today it will be more

:34:11. > :34:17.difficult. What is your aim at the end of this? To do my best and we

:34:17. > :34:24.are going to give everything. did a joke and he said he was going

:34:24. > :34:30.to the 29th. When we all started there were over 30 cars on the grid.

:34:30. > :34:35.He could have started at 29. It has been a difficult weekend for him.

:34:35. > :34:43.But that is the way it happens. He could bounce back. You never know

:34:43. > :34:53.what he is going to do. Let's have a closer look at the track. On

:34:54. > :34:58.board with Sebastian Vettel and The circuit is a 4.3 kilometre a

:34:58. > :35:06.racetrack with incredibly high speeds and huge energy underbraking.

:35:06. > :35:11.All that went out the window as we had a damp qualifier. We can see

:35:11. > :35:15.the green marked tyres tell us that Sebastian Vettel is on intermediate.

:35:15. > :35:21.He gets great positioning out of two up the hill towards the first

:35:21. > :35:27.chicane. Avoid the white lines because they are very slippery. He

:35:27. > :35:32.threads the eye of the needle perfectly through the first chicane.

:35:32. > :35:38.Five is normally flat out on the dry. Sticking through the dry lines

:35:38. > :35:44.where possible through 6 and 7. Nice and early to fall power. A bit

:35:44. > :35:48.of release of KERS. We can see that from the graphic on the screen.

:35:48. > :35:54.Down into the second chicane and avoiding the kerbs as much as

:35:54. > :36:02.possible. A small release of KERS as he comes underneath the bridge

:36:02. > :36:06.and down towards 10 and their hair paint. Late shift to first. A short

:36:06. > :36:11.shrift to second to try and control the talk of the engine. He will

:36:11. > :36:17.release the maximum he can as we get into the longest section.

:36:17. > :36:27.Around 13 seconds approaching a speed of 316 kilometres an hour.

:36:27. > :36:31.

:36:31. > :36:37.His confidence is so high he uses as much of the kerb as possible. A

:36:37. > :36:43.round of applause from the celebrity Garrett. The Mercedes

:36:48. > :36:53.Pictures of Bernie Ecclestone and Christian Horner. And Paul Hembery.

:36:53. > :36:59.I bet that is an interesting conversation. We would like to be a

:36:59. > :37:03.fly on the wall. Not of sorting out before everything changes next year.

:37:03. > :37:09.200,000 people over the weekend to watch us and it is a stunning

:37:09. > :37:15.weekend. It is the week of the Year, every restaurant and every place is

:37:15. > :37:25.flat out, so it is brilliant. Clarkson and Lee McKenzie are you

:37:25. > :37:25.

:37:25. > :38:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:38:26. > :38:33.This is the Canadian Grand Prix, First used for Grand Prix racing in

:38:33. > :38:39.1978. It is named after the person who won that race. Circuit Gilles

:38:39. > :38:48.Villeneuve. This is the 50th time a Canadian Grand Prix has taken place,

:38:48. > :38:52.although the first few races where poor sports cars. This circuit on

:38:52. > :39:00.Ile Notre-Dame has seen 33 Grand Prix. Many of them were dramatic

:39:00. > :39:05.events. Alan Jones beat Gilles Villeneuve in 1979. The often there

:39:05. > :39:10.is a story attached. Last year it witnessed Hamilton becoming the 7th

:39:10. > :39:14.different winner of the season in seven races. He loves this circuit

:39:15. > :39:19.and he starts from the front row, but he has not finished better than

:39:20. > :39:24.third so far in his Mercedes career. Starting from pole position

:39:24. > :39:29.alongside him is the man who started in pole position last year,

:39:29. > :39:39.Sebastian Vettel. He is looking for that first win here, but he has a

:39:39. > :39:41.

:39:41. > :39:47.good chance. But his car looked good in the wet and the dry. What

:39:47. > :39:52.will be interesting is the run down to first corner. It is a couple of

:39:52. > :39:58.hundred metres down to the apex. Not a lot of time before the

:39:58. > :40:03.drivers to gain anything off the start. Nico Rosberg looking focused

:40:03. > :40:13.and trying to get in front of Valterri Bottas. Apparently running

:40:13. > :40:13.

:40:13. > :41:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:41:25. > :41:32.sits second in the championship. He is on 86 points and Sebastian

:41:32. > :41:41.Vettel is on 170. If that gap opens up more, he has got a whole race

:41:41. > :41:47.advantage. There is Lewis Hamilton, fourth. His third consecutive front

:41:47. > :41:55.row start this season. He maintains that 100% record of out-qualifying

:41:55. > :42:00.his team-mate. Nico Rosberg starting in fourth place. There is

:42:00. > :42:04.Sebastian Vettel breaking that streak of pole positions. He has

:42:04. > :42:07.out-qualified Mark Webber on every single occasion this year. The

:42:07. > :42:14.track temperature is the highest we have seen the throughout the course

:42:14. > :42:17.of the weekend's so far. That will be the talking point. A few degrees

:42:17. > :42:26.of the track temperature significantly changes the balance

:42:26. > :42:33.of these cars. It is a bit of a voyage of discovery, so that is why

:42:33. > :42:37.they get paid the big buck. Jenson Button did not start last, that he

:42:38. > :42:42.came through to take an amazing victory last year. It looked as

:42:42. > :42:48.though Sebastian Vettel was going to win. That he snatched it away

:42:48. > :42:56.from him on the very last lap. He has been on the podium a few times

:42:56. > :43:01.in addition to that victory. He was third here in 2004. I wonder how

:43:01. > :43:10.Valterri Bottas is feeling right now. It looks like everybody is

:43:10. > :43:20.pretty much on the super soft tyres. They have the red writing on the

:43:20. > :43:38.

:43:38. > :43:44.sidewalk. For perhaps Jenson Button. strategy? A 1-stop job is not beyond

:43:44. > :43:51.the realms of possibility. For Paul di Resta, for me, he is doing the

:43:51. > :44:01.right thing. If you have a fast attire on, which the supersoft is,

:44:01. > :44:10.why suffer the consequences of that tyre right now? Supersofts are the

:44:10. > :44:18.right thing. The people need -- behind Sebastian Vettel need to stop

:44:18. > :44:28.him. What is the limiting factor on the tyres here today? It is

:44:28. > :44:29.

:44:29. > :44:33.distraction out of these slow corners. -- traction. Because of the

:44:33. > :44:40.slippage, it causes more tyre pressure. And you end up with more

:44:40. > :44:45.wheelspin, so it is a spiral to nowhere. It is up to the drivers to

:44:45. > :44:55.a certain extent to modulate that power application. This is one of

:44:55. > :45:01.

:45:01. > :45:06.the shorter laps, not as short as Monaco, though. The cack lends

:45:06. > :45:13.itself to making extra stops. Sebastian Vettel leads the grade

:45:13. > :45:20.down on to the starting position is here. He will try and take his first

:45:20. > :45:25.victory in Canada. But Fernando Alonso had a good run here earlier.

:45:25. > :45:29.Lewis Hamilton executed a perfect to stop strategy for his victory. But

:45:29. > :45:33.there were people like Grosjean and Perez who managed to go through on a

:45:33. > :45:43.one stop. We are on board with Valtteri Bottas, starting in the

:45:43. > :45:47.

:45:47. > :45:52.place. Battled on and Hamilton en Route one, but is on road two. Then

:45:52. > :46:02.we have Hulkenberg and Raikkonen, Ricardo and Perez. Then Maldonado

:46:02. > :46:08.and two. Good Shiraz and Massa. The rest starts 17th. And right at the

:46:08. > :46:18.back, what out for the Frenchman, Romain Grosjean. All set to go in

:46:18. > :46:24.Canada, then. Away we go. That'll gets off the line well. Mark Webber

:46:24. > :46:34.makes a good start as well. Back to rebut worse -- Valtteri Bottas is

:46:34. > :46:35.

:46:35. > :46:39.being squeezed out. Webber trying to shut the door on the youngster.

:46:39. > :46:44.Aggressive drive from Mark Webber. Bottas did everything he could to

:46:44. > :46:50.try and hang in there, but the pace of the Red Bull was too much. He is

:46:50. > :46:59.under pressure from Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari. Rosberg has gained a

:46:59. > :47:02.place. Here comes Alonso on bottles. We know how good he is on

:47:02. > :47:12.the opening lap, but he is on the outside here, and Bottas makes the

:47:12. > :47:15.

:47:15. > :47:22.most of the inside line. Good driving from Bottas. Bottas fence

:47:22. > :47:32.him off on the inside, and he can't go through. Meanwhile, on the

:47:32. > :47:34.

:47:35. > :47:37.inside, Alonso has picked up speed. No DRS, but he is in front already.

:47:37. > :47:47.He did well. Some contact there between the Force India and the

:47:47. > :47:54.

:47:54. > :48:04.Williams. Raikkonen is a long way down. That'll already trying to

:48:04. > :48:11.

:48:11. > :48:21.build up a lead. Bottas is now coming under pressure. Then Perez,

:48:21. > :48:27.

:48:27. > :48:33.Maldonado, Massa and Button in 15th place. This stage of the race is

:48:33. > :48:37.heavy with fuel, so they are having to be more respectful of the curves.

:48:37. > :48:45.The car runs more with all that weight on board. The drivers have to

:48:45. > :48:55.respect the braking zones. Felipe Massa is looking for a way past

:48:55. > :48:59.

:48:59. > :49:08.Maldonado. Maldonado goes defensive. Massa trying down the outside, and

:49:08. > :49:13.he has done it. Massa coming from the back after the accident in

:49:13. > :49:18.qualifying. Jimmy Raikkonen is further down than he would like in

:49:18. > :49:28.10th place, with a car the other teams reckon will be in great shape

:49:28. > :49:30.

:49:30. > :49:36.now that the temperatures are kind. And they are still climbing. The DRS

:49:36. > :49:41.zone will be open on this lap, so Vettel is again exploiting pole

:49:41. > :49:49.position. It will be down to be taught us and the hair. Who does one

:49:49. > :49:57.stops and who does to stops? Giedo van der Garde, who was right at the

:49:57. > :50:04.back, is ahead of his team-mates. Grosjean is in 20th. Giedo van der

:50:04. > :50:12.Garde had an amazing first lap. You are looking at Felipe Massa in 13th

:50:12. > :50:22.place. His next target is Sergio Perez. Rosberg is in third. Then

:50:22. > :50:22.

:50:22. > :50:27.Webber, and Alonso in fifth. Bottas is still holding on to sixth place.

:50:27. > :50:32.Hulkenberg is being chased by Perez. Then it is Massa in the

:50:33. > :50:37.Ferrari. The rest has not been able to do much. He is still in 16th

:50:37. > :50:41.place, but it is early days. He might be playing the long game,

:50:41. > :50:51.having to think more about preserving those tyres. It is rear

:50:51. > :50:52.

:50:52. > :50:56.grip that is the big issue. You can end up running out of rubber. That

:50:56. > :51:06.was a fairly sensible getaway for everyone. Mark Webber was able to

:51:06. > :51:07.

:51:07. > :51:14.get up alongside Bottas as he was squeezed into one. Then Bottas came

:51:14. > :51:19.back at him towards turn three, but in the end, he sensibly backed out.

:51:19. > :51:29.This is the first time they have run with this amount of fuel. We see

:51:29. > :51:32.

:51:32. > :51:42.Raikkonen bogged down a bit at the start. You see the McLaren of Perez

:51:42. > :51:47.

:51:47. > :51:54.around the outside. I love this camera angle from Bottas. As he

:51:54. > :52:04.glances in his mirrors, he knows Webber is sneaking up the outside.

:52:04. > :52:09.It was sensible, mature driving from the young Finn. We are looking at a

:52:09. > :52:19.replay here of mass, when he got past Maldonado -, or rather, he was

:52:19. > :52:29.battling with him. No contact made, but he had to back out of it.

:52:29. > :52:32.

:52:32. > :52:42.still trying to make some moves. He is trying to catch up with Webber.

:52:42. > :52:44.

:52:44. > :52:49.This was Alonso getting past but us. -- Bottas. But Bottas was sensible.

:52:49. > :52:56.It has been a met your opening lap for him. Then we saw Hulkenberg

:52:56. > :53:05.missing the chicane. I think it cost him some as well. Bottas still under

:53:05. > :53:14.attack here from Jean-Eric Vergne. We saw Raikkonen slipping and

:53:14. > :53:20.sliding. He is intent, tucked behind the Toro Rosso of Daniel Ricciardo.

:53:20. > :53:29.Sutil in the Force India, their 100th Grand Prix event, will be able

:53:29. > :53:34.to gain a place. Oh! Sutil spins. I have to take to the grass. A

:53:34. > :53:39.complete 360, and he rejoins. off to Bottas. He did not give up

:53:39. > :53:49.the position. There was no contact made. In the end, Sutil just spun

:53:49. > :53:53.

:53:53. > :53:59.and lost the backend. It has cost him a bit of time, of course.

:53:59. > :54:05.has dropped down to seventh place. Sutil has dropped down to 17th place

:54:05. > :54:14.as a result of this spin. That has really cost Force India dear.

:54:14. > :54:21.is contact. That has hit the back of the Force India. That will have

:54:21. > :54:28.affected the front wing. You can see bits of carbon flying. I think that

:54:28. > :54:38.was Maldonado. We will take another look at that in a minute. Paul di

:54:38. > :54:39.

:54:39. > :54:46.Resta is still behind Sutil. Things have not gone according to plan for

:54:46. > :54:51.him. Up front, it is still Sebastian Vettel who leads this race by 4.3

:54:51. > :54:56.seconds. He is opening up the gap. Let's see what happened. It was

:54:56. > :55:06.Maldonado in the Williams. He breaks a bit too late. That allows Button

:55:06. > :55:07.

:55:07. > :55:17.to nip through on the inside. Whack. That will unfortunately affect the

:55:17. > :55:21.

:55:21. > :55:25.performance of his front wing. the Sutil spin? Hats off to Sutil

:55:25. > :55:30.for having a go, and all credit to Bottas for not giving up the

:55:30. > :55:35.position to easily. This is his shopfront opportunity to show people

:55:35. > :55:44.he has the speed and the racing ability. I don't believe there was

:55:44. > :55:50.any contact. Sutil was marginally behind, but never in front. Adrian

:55:50. > :55:58.Sutil has made a good comeback from his year away from racing. No damage

:55:58. > :56:05.to the car. Some changes already as Raikkonen is beginning to attack.

:56:05. > :56:09.have got the Ferrari down the inside. Massa going past Perez.

:56:09. > :56:19.Raikkonen is still all over the back of the Toro Rosso of Daniel

:56:19. > :56:21.

:56:21. > :56:29.Ricciardo, trying to move up in the top ten. It is now a bit of a

:56:29. > :56:35.slippery surface. Daniel Ricciardo is starting to slide around. We had

:56:35. > :56:43.so much rain over the weekend. have not had an opportunity to

:56:44. > :56:52.penetrate the rubber down into the tarmac. Paul, to manually use DRS,

:56:52. > :56:57.it is default 76 act set, if you haven't already done it. Paul has

:56:57. > :57:07.obviously got an issue with his DRS and his team are telling him how to

:57:07. > :57:08.

:57:08. > :57:15.reset the system. That basically reboots your computer whilst you are

:57:15. > :57:22.moving along. Let's get an update from, in the pits. Another driver is

:57:22. > :57:27.having a few problems, Max Chilton. His brakes are not working. After

:57:27. > :57:33.that incident with Maldonado, the pit boys had a new set of supersoft

:57:33. > :57:43.tyres ready for him. And then they all went back in. So he has not lost

:57:43. > :57:49.any time. A few people are complaining about raking macro

:57:49. > :57:54.problems. Kimi has been saying more what is going on with the brakes? To

:57:54. > :58:04.his team. They have been saying, it is the same problem you had on

:58:04. > :58:08.

:58:08. > :58:13.Friday. They are trying to instruct him on what to do about it. Through

:58:13. > :58:16.the braking phase, that is when you get the regeneration of unused

:58:16. > :58:20.energy and that goes into charging the batteries. That is why they are

:58:20. > :58:30.playing around so much with brake balance. Hamilton is in second

:58:30. > :58:50.

:58:50. > :59:00.place. The gap is up to 5.1 seconds again. He has got in front of Niko

:59:00. > :59:03.

:59:03. > :59:10.Hulkenberg. Jenson Button is still part of that group N 30th place.

:59:10. > :59:16.looks to me the way Felipe Massa is driving is that he is pushing hard,

:59:16. > :59:22.and I think they will be aiming for two stops this afternoon. I think

:59:22. > :59:29.they will be more than just changed tyres in that stop. Felipe Massa is

:59:29. > :59:36.flying in this race. Raikkonen is back behind Ricciardo. Felipe Massa

:59:36. > :59:44.is the one on the move. There is massive, visible graining on the

:59:44. > :59:50.rear tyres. Presumably he will be a sitting duck when it comes to the

:59:50. > :59:55.BRS a zone. My goodness, that is the race leader touching the wall

:59:55. > :00:00.and he does not need to be doing that at the moment. He has got a

:00:00. > :00:10.5.5 second lead. We have got Felipe Massa trying to get past Kimi

:00:10. > :00:19.

:00:19. > :00:28.Raikkonen. Raikkonen has got BRS as those into the corner. This is all

:00:28. > :00:33.giving Ricciardo a bit of breathing space. I was saying a Monaco was a

:00:33. > :00:40.bit rubbish at times, but this is brilliant stuff. I do not see that

:00:40. > :00:48.any of these drivers have anything in reserve. Raikkonen closes up the

:00:48. > :00:53.gap. Vettel is in the lead. We have seen other champions hit the wall

:00:54. > :01:02.when they were leading the race. That is not even the famous Wall of

:01:02. > :01:11.Champions. RADIO: You have got some damage to the rear wing. I wonder

:01:12. > :01:17.if that was before or after the stock. That is where he almost hit

:01:17. > :01:23.the back of Perez. I am not sure if that was a mistimed entry or if he

:01:23. > :01:27.was always meaning to come in. You start to break for the last chicane,

:01:27. > :01:37.if you are going into the pit lane, you do not have to do it until much

:01:37. > :01:44.later. Raikkonen moves to the outside of Ricciardo. Felipe Massa

:01:44. > :01:50.does not quite follow him through it. Raikkonen moves up into a place.

:01:50. > :01:58.We have got some other guys coming into the pit as well. Charles Pic

:01:58. > :02:04.has just come in. Look at the kind of pace that Kimi Raikkonen can do.

:02:04. > :02:12.He is struggling a bit. He is having issues with the brakes. But

:02:12. > :02:18.this is great stuff, it is a wheel- to-wheel action. But as his running

:02:18. > :02:28.in seventh place. But that is the next car they will all be chasing.

:02:28. > :02:31.

:02:31. > :02:36.RADIO: It is target plus two. Felipe Massa runs wide. That will

:02:36. > :02:41.give Niko Hulkenberg a chance to get in on the accent as well. The

:02:41. > :02:48.deal ers will be in action and he may be able to overtake here.

:02:48. > :02:52.Ricciardo gives him the space on this occasion. Oh, he is going into

:02:52. > :02:58.the pit. That is what I was explaining, you do not have to

:02:58. > :03:03.break when you go into the pit lane as you do on the last chicane. A

:03:03. > :03:10.very early first round of stops from the cars. It is interesting to

:03:10. > :03:17.see the Ferrari with the BRS wide open. The Toro Rosso had the BRS

:03:18. > :03:27.closed. Toro Rosso tend to set their car up with a very high speed.

:03:27. > :03:35.Two contrasting styles and set-up. Sebastian Vettel is still the race

:03:35. > :03:42.leader. It is still quite early for pit stops. There is not a huge

:03:42. > :03:48.difference in time between doing two stops and three stops. A lovely

:03:48. > :03:54.shot through the Wall of Champions. Webber came into the pits because

:03:54. > :04:00.he banished from shot. Mark Webber making a relatively early stop, but

:04:00. > :04:09.should still be able to make this a two stock race. Three stops is

:04:09. > :04:19.quicker on paper than a two stock race, but you have to overtake a

:04:19. > :04:21.

:04:21. > :04:28.two stop if they are out on track. McLaren has just come in as well.

:04:28. > :04:34.Romain Grosjean has been making ground. He is up into 12th. Perez

:04:34. > :04:43.has gone on to the medium compound tyre. As has Mark Webber. They are

:04:43. > :04:50.the harder of the two compliance -- compounds. Paul di Resta started

:04:50. > :05:00.this race on that harder tyre. He has now moved up to tenth place.

:05:00. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:13.Sebastian Vettel is in control by 7.5 seconds. 1:20.0. Nico Rosberg

:05:13. > :05:20.is pitting. On lap 15. Hamilton stays out on that extra lap. He is

:05:20. > :05:25.changing tactics. He has gone on to another set of super soft tyres.

:05:26. > :05:33.His second stint is going to be on the super soft. Presumably he will

:05:33. > :05:39.have to put the mediums on at some point. He has come back out in

:05:39. > :05:45.fourth and is still ahead of Mark Webber. Into the pits is the

:05:45. > :05:50.Williams of bought us. Can he maintain some performance? He goes

:05:50. > :05:56.on to the medium compound tyres as well. But has and Williams are

:05:56. > :06:03.desperate for points today. The stewards are investigating the

:06:03. > :06:11.collision between cars at 15 and 16. Bottas rejoins and comes out ahead

:06:11. > :06:16.of Adrian Sutil. Tom, what have you got? I was surprised to see Bottas

:06:16. > :06:23.coming in quite so early because he is carrying more downforce. RADIO:

:06:23. > :06:27.We want three to a four laps at his pace. I was expecting him to stay

:06:27. > :06:34.out a little bit longer because he is carrying a bit more downforce

:06:34. > :06:40.and I thought that would have protected his tyres. The track

:06:40. > :06:45.surface is very abrasive today. has not had much running on it.

:06:45. > :06:55.Mark Webber is behind Nico Rosberg. This is the battle for fourth

:06:55. > :06:56.

:06:56. > :07:01.position. Rosberg is running pretty well. Sebastian Vettel set the

:07:01. > :07:11.fastest time in this race. But Mark Webber is keeping the pressure on

:07:11. > :07:13.

:07:13. > :07:17.Rosberg. Making use of those fresh tyres. Maldonado not having a much

:07:17. > :07:27.better day. But what has been the other Williams is hoping for better

:07:27. > :07:28.

:07:28. > :07:35.things. Contrasting tyres. Webber on the Prime and Rosberg on the

:07:35. > :07:40.option. Hour race leader is in as we continue to see Mark Webber on

:07:40. > :07:48.the attack. He lost some time at their hair end. On board with

:07:48. > :07:58.Sebastian Vettel. He goes on to the medium compound tyre and sets off

:07:58. > :08:01.

:08:01. > :08:06.once again. Alonso is also in the pits. Where would he come out?

:08:06. > :08:12.Alonso is still going to be behind Webex. Webber and Rosberg have gone

:08:12. > :08:21.through. You can see them at the entry of 10 two. Clean air again

:08:21. > :08:27.for Alonso. He has got to try and close that gap. RADIO: Four-tenths

:08:27. > :08:33.slower in the last lap. He is currently holding up Webber. Alonso

:08:33. > :08:37.in the medium compound tyre, the St tyre that Mark Webber is honour. It

:08:37. > :08:47.is different to the tyre that Rosberg is on. It is a different

:08:47. > :08:49.

:08:49. > :08:54.strategy. Is this all a bit of a plant from a Mercedes? Are they

:08:54. > :09:00.trying to help Lewis Hamilton? Webber is very close once again as

:09:00. > :09:07.they come down to their hair paint. It is all about traction at that

:09:07. > :09:14.corner. The gap is probably not close enough for Mark Webber.

:09:14. > :09:24.looks like Mark Webber is struggling for traction off 1010.

:09:24. > :09:24.

:09:24. > :09:30.RADIO: Red casing in danger zone at the moment. The rear tyre is

:09:30. > :09:40.getting too hot, basic late. does sound a bit Hollywood, danger

:09:40. > :09:40.

:09:40. > :09:46.zone. Hamilton is the race leader because Sebastian Vettel has been

:09:46. > :09:51.into the pits. Now we are waiting for a Felipe Massa at. Paul di

:09:51. > :10:01.Resta is gradually moving up the order because he has not made a pit

:10:01. > :10:09.stop as yet. Back out on the super sub. The software tyre chosen by

:10:09. > :10:15.Massa. -- the softer tyre. Felipe Massa comes back out in 14th

:10:15. > :10:23.position. But we have got guys who have not stopped. Lewis Hamilton

:10:23. > :10:30.has not stopped. Kimi Raikkonen has not stop. RADIO: The target is 25

:10:30. > :10:36.more laps on this set. That is on the medium compound from Williams.

:10:36. > :10:42.They have done a couple of laps already on those. Just under 30 is

:10:42. > :10:49.what they are hoping to get. Webber is trying to cool the car and

:10:49. > :10:59.keeping out of the slipstream in front. It is quite likely to be a

:10:59. > :11:01.

:11:02. > :11:07.break issue. The gap to Sebastian Vettel is only 6.1 seconds. Lewis

:11:07. > :11:12.Hamilton meets 15 seconds. When he comes out he will still be in

:11:12. > :11:18.second position if they stay as they are right now. Sebastian

:11:18. > :11:24.Vettel beginning to fly right now. Mark Webber is doing everything he

:11:24. > :11:34.can to stay out of the slipstream of the car in front. They could be

:11:34. > :11:39.

:11:39. > :11:45.eight cooling issue. Hamilton goes straight end. RADIO: Lewis, we are

:11:45. > :11:50.going on to the other tyre. This is different to the one that Rosberg

:11:50. > :12:00.is on. It is a different strategy between Rosberg and Hamilton.

:12:00. > :12:04.

:12:04. > :12:09.front wing touched as well. Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of a one

:12:09. > :12:19.stop with that length of stay and he has just done. Tom, what do you

:12:19. > :12:23.have for us? The Mercedes engineers think that Lewis Hamilton's tyre is

:12:23. > :12:28.slightly better than Nico Rosberg. We have not had a safety car yet

:12:29. > :12:38.this afternoon in the same way we did not have a safety car last year.

:12:39. > :12:51.

:12:52. > :12:58.The last time we had it two years overtaking that anyone else.

:12:58. > :13:05.Hamilton has come out in second place. Webber is 4th and Alonso is

:13:05. > :13:15.in fifth place. Raikkonen has come up to sixth, but he has yet to stop.

:13:15. > :13:36.

:13:36. > :13:46.The Lotus may be looking to do one another few laps out of his tyres.

:13:46. > :13:49.

:13:49. > :13:56.If he can do that, he could get through this race with one stop.

:13:56. > :14:03.Classic DRS pass out of the last chicane. There will be a bit of

:14:03. > :14:13.Mexico on Mexico, Perez and Gutierrez. Good racing from the two

:14:13. > :14:16.

:14:16. > :14:22.Mexicans. Perez moves into 14th place. Esteban Gutierrez has been in

:14:22. > :14:26.a few incidents this year. He crashed into the back of Adrian

:14:26. > :14:32.Sutil in China and got penalised at the next race for it. Kimi is being

:14:32. > :14:38.urged to go as long as possible on this set of tyres. He is still out

:14:38. > :14:46.there at the moment. Meanwhile, Button says his tyres have gone

:14:46. > :14:56.through the graining phrase. So the team are saying carry on. Once you

:14:56. > :15:12.

:15:12. > :15:17.get through it, the grip comes back. The Ferrari goes down the inside.

:15:17. > :15:22.This is a double DRS zone. It is a tough place to overtake. Sutil does

:15:22. > :15:26.not want to give up! He stays in front. They just about gave each

:15:26. > :15:31.other racing room to work with. Sutil was as aggressive as you would

:15:31. > :15:35.want to have from someone that you are racing wheel to wheel with.

:15:35. > :15:39.Matter tried to run it around the outside, realised that Sutil was

:15:39. > :15:48.carrying enough speed to justify letting the car rolled into turn

:15:48. > :15:53.two. Massa clearly much faster than the Force India at this phase of the

:15:53. > :15:56.Grand Prix. Master has been flying, but he is still not in the top ten.

:15:56. > :16:01.Fuel consumption is higher than expected. Do what you can to save

:16:01. > :16:06.fuel without losing performance. It is a nightmare to hear that

:16:06. > :16:16.information. That will affect hp, as they have to go into fuel saving

:16:16. > :16:17.

:16:17. > :16:27.mode. He has given up on that set of tyres. I wonder if he has done

:16:27. > :16:30.

:16:31. > :16:38.enough on that to be able to make this the room with just one stop.

:16:38. > :16:43.Looks like the Jack dropped. The man was lying on the ground. They had to

:16:43. > :16:53.lift the car again and have another pump at it. It is not going

:16:53. > :16:58.perfectly at the moment. Tom, I think you saw that pitstop? From a

:16:58. > :17:03.distance, but you are right. They had to put the car back up and the

:17:03. > :17:09.guy putting the wheel on the right rear was very dejected. Last man

:17:09. > :17:16.back into the garage. Watch the rear jack. He had not managed to get it

:17:16. > :17:20.seated, so they had to go back under and have another lift at it. They

:17:20. > :17:26.practised these procedures over and over, but occasionally of course, if

:17:26. > :17:30.you add the human element, you will get human error. We have been

:17:30. > :17:33.looking at the first round of pit stops. Kimi Reichmann did not get as

:17:33. > :17:41.far as Lotus would have liked. Do you think they will try to get

:17:41. > :17:46.through on one stop? I would have seen him get to lap 28 or 30, but it

:17:46. > :17:54.was not going to happen. He was losing too much time. 48 laps on a

:17:54. > :18:02.medium tyre 's it will be adventurous. Master is making

:18:02. > :18:12.another move on Button this time. Felipe Massa has really been pushing

:18:12. > :18:14.

:18:14. > :18:19.hard. The Ferrari is working well for him. Button has now done 23

:18:20. > :18:23.laps. He is obviously trying to do a one-stop race. But a pitstop here is

:18:23. > :18:28.very quick. You lose about 17 seconds in all. So you have to wear

:18:28. > :18:34.that up against the lap time are losing. Ten is now losing too much

:18:34. > :18:40.time. Grosjean is still making progress from the back of the

:18:40. > :18:48.field. He has still not made a pit stop. And Di Resta has not pitted

:18:48. > :18:52.either. Di Resta is the only sensible one in my book. He did not

:18:52. > :19:01.start like that, but he has the opportunity to take that medium tyre

:19:02. > :19:07.at a competitive pace as far as possible. If he can stretch to lap

:19:07. > :19:11.40 or 41, he could definitely do a one-stop race. Felipe Massa is

:19:11. > :19:19.making another attempt to get past, but it does not work on Adrian

:19:19. > :19:24.Sutil. Sutil just fended him off. It is all exciting on track at the

:19:24. > :19:32.moment. Felipe Massa is really trying to work into the top ten. He

:19:32. > :19:35.has got to 10th place. How much further can he go? It is all a bit

:19:35. > :19:42.static at the top end. Sebastian Vettel has a 13.1 second advantage

:19:42. > :19:51.here. Then Hamilton is second, five seconds back. Then Rosberg in third,

:19:51. > :19:57.Webber in fourth, Alonso in fifth. Three cars at least are on two

:19:58. > :20:02.stops. That confirms that Reich and is aiming for a one-stop. The

:20:02. > :20:12.question is whether the car will allow them to do it. That must be an

:20:12. > :20:16.

:20:16. > :20:26.old radio message. I can't honestly believe they would try anything

:20:26. > :20:30.

:20:30. > :20:35.other than two stops this afternoon. Di Resta has one of the highest top

:20:35. > :20:43.speeds in the race so far. Hulkenberg has been fastest in the

:20:43. > :20:47.speed traps. Oh! Only a car's which there. I thought they were going to

:20:47. > :20:56.make contact. Not just that, I thought we would see Felipe Massa

:20:56. > :21:06.touching the grass. Sutil is defending well, right on the limit.

:21:06. > :21:12.

:21:12. > :21:15.This is Grand Prix racing. Webber is making a run on Rosberg. DRS open.

:21:15. > :21:25.Nearly has contact, as he gets caught out. He will be under

:21:25. > :21:35.pressure from Alonso. Alonso was really honing in on the back of that

:21:35. > :21:39.Red Bull. A real opportunity for Alonso, as things didn't work out

:21:39. > :21:46.for Webber. Plenty of stars enjoying the show of Formula One in

:21:46. > :21:50.Montreal. But at the moment, Vettel leads. This is a 3-way fight now for

:21:50. > :22:00.third position, with Vettel and Hamilton quite some way up the road.

:22:00. > :22:00.

:22:00. > :22:05.That mistake cost Webber a second. But, who has not stopped yet, is in

:22:05. > :22:13.11th place. So he will be struggling on the tyres. Bottas has got past

:22:13. > :22:19.Button now. Button is down to 12 position. He is trying to go as far

:22:19. > :22:24.as possible on these supersoft tyres to make it a one-stop race. Some

:22:24. > :22:34.good battles further back down the field. In the battle of the young

:22:34. > :22:35.

:22:35. > :22:39.teams, Jules Bianchi leads that group. He is in 19th place. Jenson

:22:39. > :22:44.Button, not having stopped yet this afternoon, is three and a half

:22:44. > :22:54.seconds a lap slower than our race leader. It puts into perspective how

:22:54. > :23:00.much time you lose. It will be a relief to him to hear that he is

:23:00. > :23:10.coming in for tyres at this point, because it has been a struggle. The

:23:10. > :23:12.

:23:12. > :23:18.leader is doing 1: 18, and he has done 1: 22. Long Way to go in this

:23:18. > :23:23.race as yet, but Jenson Button has been holding on. He is coming into

:23:23. > :23:31.the pits now. But out in the front, it is still Sebastian Vettel leading

:23:31. > :23:36.by 15 seconds from Lewis Hamilton. Here comes Jenson Button. That was

:23:36. > :23:42.lovely. That is how it should be and it was not for Kimi Raikkonen when

:23:42. > :23:49.we watched earlier. But the McLaren crew got it beautifully right, 20.2

:23:49. > :23:55.seconds spent in pit lane. Very impressive. Webber still looking at

:23:55. > :24:00.a way to pass Rosberg. Alonso tucked in behind this time. As ever, the

:24:00. > :24:04.Red Bulls are not that fast on a straight line. That is certainly

:24:04. > :24:10.giving Alonso a chance to close right up to the back of the Red

:24:10. > :24:20.Bull. Bit of traffic ahead. Could be tricky for the Marussia to get

:24:20. > :24:20.

:24:20. > :24:24.ahead. Alonso is in that hunting zone, ready to pounce. He can be

:24:24. > :24:32.dangerous in that position. He needs points. He is trying to close on

:24:32. > :24:37.Kimi Raikkonen, but also Vettel, the championship leader. Sebastian

:24:37. > :24:40.Vettel is leading comfortably at this stage. From Red Bull's point of

:24:40. > :24:50.view, the last thing they want to see is Webber allowing that Ferrari

:24:50. > :24:57.

:24:57. > :25:04.through. A pit stop ahead on this track, and we are not even at half

:25:04. > :25:13.distance yet. Data really does look very healthy for these tyres, so

:25:13. > :25:16.push. Excellent job so far. Keep going. Oh! Did you see how close

:25:16. > :25:20.Webber was to Rosberg? Mark Webber will be getting hot under the

:25:20. > :25:26.collar. Rosberg defending well, but that forced Webber to try and have a

:25:26. > :25:36.look again round the outside. We can see dust being picked up on the

:25:36. > :25:37.

:25:37. > :25:41.tyres. Rosberg can release his KERS defensively as he runs up into the

:25:41. > :25:50.first UK. Only a matter of time before something gives in this

:25:50. > :25:55.battle. Three quality drivers. Alonso trying to pick up the pieces.

:25:55. > :26:00.As we heard on the radio, Di Resta was being told everything is looking

:26:00. > :26:03.good on the tyres. He is up to seventh place now as we continue

:26:03. > :26:12.with this tussle towards the top end of the circuit. The hairpin comes

:26:12. > :26:22.next. Can Mark Webber get into position to overtake on the DRS?

:26:22. > :26:26.has spent his KERS. Alonso has a whole bunch he can release now. Mark

:26:26. > :26:34.Webber will have the slipstream from Rosberg. 3-way fight for third

:26:34. > :26:44.place. Webber finally gets in front of the Mercedes. Although Rosberg

:26:44. > :26:46.

:26:46. > :26:55.defended, he could not keep that Red Bull back any longer. We have a

:26:55. > :27:00.change. Was Berg has lost two places and is now down into fifth place. I

:27:00. > :27:06.don't think there is much threat to Vettel up front, but how quickly can

:27:06. > :27:11.they close the gap to Hamilton? It is a big gap, some ten seconds.

:27:11. > :27:16.Webber knew he had to get it done. He got a massive slipstream on the

:27:16. > :27:25.Rosberg and managed to keep it around the outside into the last

:27:25. > :27:30.chicane. Alonso pounced and got the DRS. Rosberg, after so many laps of

:27:31. > :27:36.defending, it is almost like he said, OK, give me a break! There was

:27:36. > :27:40.nothing he could do. He has done 16 laps on those supersoft tyres, which

:27:40. > :27:45.is about the limit of what we have seen. I am sure he will be heading

:27:46. > :27:49.for a pit stop soon. But if they were trying to get Rosberg to defend

:27:49. > :27:58.for Hamilton, it has worked, because Hamilton has been able to open up

:27:58. > :28:06.quite a gap over these guys. Rosberg was told he was getting critical on

:28:06. > :28:14.the tyres. He is in the pits now. will presumably go for a set of the

:28:14. > :28:19.medium compound tyres now and get a longer stint here. It is lap 31.

:28:19. > :28:29.Still a long way to go in this race. I wonder whether he can get many

:28:29. > :28:45.

:28:46. > :28:52.laps before the end of this. He stop. He has gone super soft and

:28:52. > :28:58.super soft again. The medium tyre is thought to be around 35 laps. He

:28:58. > :29:04.will need more than that. It is possible he will need an extra stop.

:29:04. > :29:11.Sebastian Vettel is totally in control of this race. He has a huge

:29:11. > :29:20.lead of 17.6 seconds. Paul di Resta is doing respectable lap times. He

:29:20. > :29:25.has not stopped this afternoon. It looks like he might be able to

:29:25. > :29:31.recover some points this afternoon. The how fast can where they go? He

:29:31. > :29:38.has just gone faster than everybody pulls up Hamilton is lapping

:29:39. > :29:47.reasonably quickly. Where they gained three-tenths on that lap.

:29:47. > :29:53.And his tyres are looking clean. No real visible signs of graining.

:29:53. > :29:59.There is something flapping on the front right off his wing. It could

:29:59. > :30:07.be helicoptered tape. RADIO: You are going to the end of the race on

:30:07. > :30:17.a sec. 39 laps to go. Unique to look after the tyres. So now we

:30:17. > :30:18.

:30:18. > :30:22.know. Bottas is in seventh place. Perez gets the plays and tucked in

:30:22. > :30:32.behind him is Kimi Raikkonen and we think he is going to the end of the

:30:32. > :30:32.

:30:33. > :30:38.race on these tyres as well. The two Finnish men side by side. Kimi

:30:38. > :30:48.Raikkonen did not spend a car. You do not often see cars go through

:30:48. > :30:48.

:30:48. > :30:57.their side by side. Normally they would waive some blue flags. I am

:30:57. > :31:05.not seeing any right now. We are getting a message, I cannot see any

:31:05. > :31:13.out there. Kimi Raikkonen is trying to get himself into position.

:31:13. > :31:22.problems for Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen gives Sebastian Vettel of

:31:22. > :31:30.the space. Bottas will have to do likewise. He is passing Giedo van

:31:30. > :31:35.der Garde. Sebastian Vettel will try and get past Bottas. He should

:31:35. > :31:44.do that easily. Kimi Raikkonen will have to work a bit harder to get

:31:44. > :31:49.past the Williams. 18. 7th last time around and 21.4 on that lap.

:31:49. > :31:54.wonder if Raikkonen will get into any trouble over that. He was

:31:54. > :32:00.involved in a battle with Bottas. A blue flag means they have to get

:32:00. > :32:08.out of the wake of the leaders. Both of them have made one pit-stop

:32:08. > :32:12.in this race. Sebastian Vettel has managed to lap his nearest rival in

:32:12. > :32:18.the championship, Kimi Raikkonen. But it is possible he might be

:32:18. > :32:24.making one more stop and Kimi Raikkonen. Unless he has an

:32:24. > :32:27.absolutely terrible pit stop, it will not cost him a lap. That is a

:32:27. > :32:37.humbling experience for Kimi Raikkonen as he works his way into

:32:37. > :32:44.

:32:44. > :32:51.position again with Bottas. He is under a little bit of pressure.

:32:51. > :33:01.mix of Italian and English. The safety car window is open. If the

:33:01. > :33:02.

:33:02. > :33:11.safety car gets deployed, it would be a good time to get a pit stop.

:33:11. > :33:18.Bottas is going to be under threat here. Sebastian Vettel has lost

:33:18. > :33:24.several seconds, but still 16 seconds over Hamilton. That pit

:33:24. > :33:28.stop for the McLaren crew was the fastest of the race so far. It was

:33:28. > :33:33.very impressive. It will be frustrating for Sebastian Vettel

:33:33. > :33:38.and Red Bull who had more than a pit stop in hand. If he had an

:33:38. > :33:44.issue now and had to come in, Hamilton would be nip and tuck

:33:44. > :33:50.coming out of the pit lane. Raikkonen still has not got past

:33:50. > :33:57.Bottas. They are 12th and 13th. The gap between Hamilton and Webber is

:33:57. > :34:01.8.6 seconds. Webber is closing that gap and Alonso is going with him.

:34:01. > :34:09.But he is not trying to challenge the Red Bull because he wants them

:34:09. > :34:16.to work together. This is Raikkonen on Bottas. There is no way he can

:34:16. > :34:19.defend any further and Kimi Raikkonen moves up into 12th

:34:19. > :34:25.position. Bottas is slowly going backwards this afternoon, but it

:34:25. > :34:35.has been a good display of driving. That is coming out of 1010, their

:34:35. > :34:38.

:34:38. > :34:48.hair pain. Mark Webber had DRS. A bit off front wing has fallen off.

:34:48. > :34:53.Is that on the Ferrari? There was contact from the Red Bull. The wing

:34:53. > :35:02.Park weakens this part of Mark Webber's front wing. He has taken

:35:02. > :35:10.the end played. I think it is the upper flat. That took a hit from

:35:10. > :35:16.the Caterham. I am not quite sure what the Caterham was playing at.

:35:16. > :35:21.He could have looked in his mirror and thought, yes, I am racing that

:35:21. > :35:28.Red Bull. A lot of the front wing is missing. What is that going to

:35:28. > :35:35.do to his afternoon? The end plate has fallen off the car at the last

:35:35. > :35:41.chicane. That is not good news for FM. He has had the front wing

:35:41. > :35:46.working well. Alonso has a chance of getting past the Red Bull.

:35:46. > :35:51.flashing yellow is to pick up the debris. Let's keep an eye on

:35:51. > :36:01.whether Mark keeps going. He will be hoping that car was a bit on the

:36:01. > :36:01.

:36:01. > :36:06.nose. Effectively what he has done is lost brunt performance. Can it

:36:06. > :36:12.stayed together? It is not supported. That was a great lap

:36:12. > :36:18.time from where her. He is able to respond. Remember when that

:36:18. > :36:25.happened last time? We had Adrian Newey studying photographs of the

:36:25. > :36:29.damage from some video footage he was handed. They are investigating

:36:29. > :36:34.Giedo van der Garde death for ignoring the blue flag. The

:36:34. > :36:41.incident with Webber was with the Caterham driver. That was clumsy

:36:41. > :36:47.from him. Adrian Sutil has come into the pits now. They have done

:36:47. > :36:53.mid-20s in terms of the tyres. It might not hurt Mark Webber quite so

:36:53. > :36:59.much. In the time that he stops they will be able to put a new

:36:59. > :37:06.front wing on. Alonso has not been able to take advantage. Webber has

:37:06. > :37:12.just set the fastest first sector of anybody. For all those hundreds

:37:12. > :37:22.of thousands of developments on front wings, he is now going faster.

:37:22. > :37:22.

:37:23. > :37:26.It can clearly be offset by some angry Ossie. Weather was only a

:37:26. > :37:33.tenth of a second slower and they are beginning to close the gap on

:37:33. > :37:41.Hamilton now. They are down to 7.6 seconds. They are definitely

:37:41. > :37:48.chasing down the Mercedes. Alonso's team it would have radioed him and

:37:48. > :37:53.said, Mark Webber has damage, start pushing. Mark Webber never gives up.

:37:53. > :38:03.There is an opportunity to get a podium finish. But they both need

:38:03. > :38:08.to get awards and Lewis Hamilton. - - towards. Amazingly all 22 cars

:38:08. > :38:14.are still running in this race. They have been matching each other

:38:14. > :38:24.in the first and second sector. Mark Webber has good drive off the

:38:24. > :38:25.

:38:25. > :38:35.turn 10 pair -- hairpin. Caterham will have to go into the

:38:35. > :38:35.

:38:35. > :38:42.pits, but it has done Mark Webber a favour. But Hamilton has responded

:38:42. > :38:52.a bit and has done 18.00. They have not caught up as much. This is what

:38:52. > :38:53.

:38:53. > :39:00.I love to see it. Three different cars and four different drivers and

:39:00. > :39:06.they are all pushing to the limit at this stage. Paul di Resta has

:39:06. > :39:11.not been in and he is in seventh place. Romain Grosjean is the same

:39:11. > :39:18.and they are in eighth place. They are going to be able to make this

:39:18. > :39:24.on a one-stop race. They will be going to the super soft tyre. Paul

:39:24. > :39:30.di Resta and Romain Grosjean may get some points out of this. After

:39:30. > :39:37.that difficult strategy start at the race. Perez is just in the top

:39:37. > :39:41.10. We heard a radio message to parents saying, look after your

:39:41. > :39:48.tyres, you are going to be racing with your team-mates again at the

:39:48. > :39:58.end of the race. Jenson Button is in 15th, but has been promoted to

:39:58. > :40:01.14th. Jean-Eric Vergne is 6th in this race, which would be his best

:40:01. > :40:08.ever result if he could hang onto it, but there is still a long way

:40:09. > :40:18.to go up. Mark Webber is in clean air at the moment. It is keeping

:40:19. > :40:19.

:40:19. > :40:23.him in there. Red Bull has a bit more pace to explain. Mark Webber

:40:24. > :40:32.does not have the benefit of reducing the drag from opening the

:40:32. > :40:36.DRS. Alonso has picked up a couple of tenths in the last sector. He

:40:36. > :40:42.can match of the lap time because of the gain of reducing the drag on

:40:42. > :40:49.the rear wing. The more I explain it, the more I keep confusing

:40:49. > :40:56.myself. This is Alonso's best chance. I leave it to you. The

:40:56. > :41:06.tyres that they are or have done more laps than Hamiltons. That was

:41:06. > :41:10.

:41:10. > :41:15.a chance for Alonso, but he is much closer. Alonso makes the move and

:41:15. > :41:24.he has gone past Mark Webber. These two have huge respect for each

:41:24. > :41:31.other. Ferrari is always massively supported en Canada. He has moved

:41:31. > :41:40.himself into a podium of finishing position, into third place. But can

:41:40. > :41:47.he catch Hamilton? Hamilton is responding all the time. This is

:41:47. > :41:53.through 13 and 14, the last chicane. Alonso pulls out and he took it on

:41:53. > :41:57.the outside. He is relentless. When you see him in your mirror, you are

:41:58. > :42:06.just as well to lie-down straight away because he is going to get you

:42:07. > :42:13.in the end. He has and 28 laps on those tyres. Felipe Massa comes

:42:13. > :42:22.into the pits. He is on super soft tyres. He did an amazingly, at long

:42:22. > :42:32.Stent. He is on his way once more and that will be his final stop of

:42:32. > :42:34.

:42:34. > :42:42.the day. Romain Grosjean getting out of the wake of Sebastian Vettel.

:42:42. > :42:45.Sebastian Vettel has just set the fastest lap. He is picking his way

:42:45. > :42:55.through the back markers and it is amazing that Romain Grosjean should

:42:55. > :43:12.

:43:12. > :43:20.respectable times. On board with Adrain Sutil. Felipe Massa did 25

:43:20. > :43:26.laps on those super soft tyres. can see the damage on the wane. He

:43:26. > :43:36.was hit by Maldonado at. We heard a radio message saying there was

:43:36. > :43:36.

:43:36. > :43:46.damage to his wing. He has than 44 laps on those tyres. The Lotus is

:43:46. > :43:47.

:43:47. > :43:53.showing it is good on its tyres. He comes back into 11th place.

:43:53. > :44:00.Sebastian Vettel still continues to lead this race. Still looking for

:44:00. > :44:06.his first ever win in Canada. Jenson Button is about to be lap.

:44:06. > :44:15.It is impressive pace from the frontrunners will stop it is, but

:44:15. > :44:21.are they going to stop again? Raikkonen having to get out of the

:44:21. > :44:26.wake up Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton is 14 seconds behind

:44:26. > :44:36.Sebastian Vettel. Sebastian Vettel is due a pit stop. He has done a

:44:36. > :44:37.

:44:37. > :44:46.long stint on his medium compounds. Alonso has been a bit quicker over

:44:47. > :44:56.the last couple of laps. The gap is still 7.6 seconds. Perez is in for

:44:57. > :45:01.

:45:01. > :45:06.McLaren. 14. Two seconds behind Vettel. I wonder whether Mercedes

:45:06. > :45:12.can get through on one stop. It would make a race of it at the end

:45:12. > :45:21.of the race if they can. Alonso is in third and Webber is still in

:45:21. > :45:26.fourth place. We are seeing Perez as well, but he is a lap down. Gary,

:45:26. > :45:36.Sebastian Vettel has got his advantage around 15 seconds. But he

:45:36. > :45:39.has done a lot of laps on those tyres. Yes, he has. It is strange

:45:40. > :45:45.because what seems to happen, if you look at Paul di Resta, you go

:45:45. > :45:52.through a stage when the tyre has got good grip. Then it falls away

:45:52. > :45:57.and you panic a bit. Their reaction to that situation is maybe you

:45:57. > :46:02.should leave it alone. Paul di Resta has just done his fastest lap

:46:02. > :46:08.of the race and is in contention for a strong result. You should not

:46:08. > :46:14.panic when the tyres are graining. You should push it a bit further up.

:46:14. > :46:21.Her mother and has done 25 laps on his set of tyres. Do you think he

:46:21. > :46:27.can go to the end? There will be a lot of people thinking about that.

:46:27. > :46:33.It is 25 laps more to go and that would make it 50 in total. Nobody

:46:33. > :46:38.has got that far yet. But Paul di Resta is showing it is possible. He

:46:38. > :46:48.might be vulnerable on the last few laps, but it is a gamble that you

:46:48. > :47:12.

:47:12. > :47:22.would take. We have seen Alonso move strategy, could you stripped it to a

:47:22. > :47:30.

:47:30. > :47:40.one-stop? I don't know why they went with two sets of supersofts. By the

:47:40. > :47:58.

:47:58. > :48:05.way, Vettel is responding. He is now setting some very fast times.

:48:05. > :48:09.at the broken front wing on the Caterham. Looks as though there

:48:09. > :48:19.could have been contact. Gary, a quick word about the damage on

:48:19. > :48:23.

:48:23. > :48:27.Webber's wing? That is about �20,000, that piece. If this ends up

:48:27. > :48:36.on the track, this could be the safety car this afternoon. Let's see

:48:36. > :48:46.if he can keep dragging it. Thanks, Gary. We will keep an eye on

:48:46. > :48:49.

:48:49. > :48:53.everything going on here. Sebastian Vettel is going quickly again. He is

:48:53. > :48:57.trying to open up enough of an advantage to make the pitstop. Look

:48:58. > :49:04.at this. I am sure it will cause a puncture in a minute. Alonso is in

:49:04. > :49:07.from third place. Webber has just been into the pits, so I don't think

:49:07. > :49:14.this will change anything between the Ferrari and the Red Bull. It is

:49:14. > :49:17.all going on in different parts of the circuit. Giedo van der Garde has

:49:17. > :49:25.stopped, which is probably the wisest thing to do. But it is not

:49:25. > :49:32.the wisest place to stop. This was how it came about. Presumably there

:49:32. > :49:42.was damage to the back of the Sauber as well. You can see the suspension

:49:42. > :49:49.

:49:49. > :49:56.damage on Hulkenberg. Nicole, stop. Giedo van der Garde is having a

:49:56. > :50:04.nightmare at the moment. He has parked the car right in the area...

:50:04. > :50:14.Hamilton has come in. This will be interesting. Where will he be with

:50:14. > :50:15.

:50:15. > :50:19.regards to Alonso or Webber? Hamilton will try to hold on to

:50:19. > :50:29.second. Any thoughts of challenging for a win are out of the window. Now

:50:29. > :50:39.

:50:39. > :50:42.it is about trying to hold on to second position. Amazingly, Paul di

:50:42. > :50:50.Resta is still running around there, not having stopped this

:50:50. > :50:57.afternoon. He will have to stop at some point. Tyres are good. OK to

:50:57. > :51:01.push to the end. Everybody is having a slightly different race of it here

:51:01. > :51:07.than we have seen on other occasions. They are all pushing very

:51:07. > :51:12.hard. Hamilton has 9.4 seconds advantage over the third-place. The

:51:12. > :51:16.leader, Sebastian Vettel, makes a pitstop for Red Bull. Does this go

:51:16. > :51:19.to plan? He has never won this race, but he has never won this race, but

:51:19. > :51:25.he's in very comfortable shape at the moment. So far ahead that he has

:51:25. > :51:30.been able to make that stop and still have a very healthy lead of 15

:51:30. > :51:34.or 16 seconds. He is out in front, with 20 laps to go in the Canadian

:51:34. > :51:38.Grand Prix, a race that has eluded him in the last few years is

:51:38. > :51:43.definitely going his way. He still needs reliability from the car, but

:51:43. > :51:46.he has taken control of the race. Now we need to keep an eye on the

:51:46. > :51:52.battles for the other podium places. Can Hamilton retain

:51:52. > :51:57.second-place? Alonso is going very quickly, and the gap is down to just

:51:57. > :52:04.under seven seconds. Webber is also lapping in the low 1: 17s, so we

:52:04. > :52:09.could still have a race for the podium places. We are still waiting

:52:09. > :52:14.for Di Resta to stop. He is in seventh place. Even when he makes

:52:14. > :52:21.the stop, you will be in the top ten will stop his team-mate, Sutil, is

:52:21. > :52:30.in eighth place. It is a very different style of race on the

:52:30. > :52:37.tyres. Tom Clarkson is talking to Pirelli's Paul Hendry. Paul di Resta

:52:37. > :52:41.has done 50 laps now. Why did more drivers not start on the prime? That

:52:41. > :52:45.is probably what a few of them are asking. I spoke with Paul before, so

:52:45. > :52:50.I knew what he was going to do. Force India have been trying

:52:50. > :52:53.different tactics all season, and it is bringing results. We have been

:52:53. > :52:57.commenting on the fact that Mercedes have been contemplating trying to

:52:57. > :53:02.get Lewis to the end without making another stop. Were you surprised

:53:02. > :53:07.that they brought him in? No. When you saw the first stint cut short by

:53:07. > :53:11.five to eight laps, it was clear that it would become a two stop

:53:11. > :53:15.race. Red Bull were thinking of making it one-stop mobot we have 20

:53:15. > :53:21.degrees more tarmac temperature today impaired with Saturday, and

:53:21. > :53:27.that has changed things. Is this a better race than Monaco from your

:53:27. > :53:30.point of view? We always get great races here. Despite the rain, it was

:53:30. > :53:37.fun in the practice sessions. Qualifying was fantastic. Canada

:53:37. > :53:44.always throws up interesting races. Alonso and Webber are both posing

:53:44. > :53:50.the gap. It is down to 5.7 seconds between Hamilton and Alonso. Webber

:53:50. > :53:55.is the fastest man on circuit. He is now 3.2 seconds behind Alonso. The

:53:55. > :54:02.Red Bull and the Ferrari are really going for it as they try to close

:54:02. > :54:07.the gap to Hamilton. Hamilton will not want them to get much closer.

:54:07. > :54:14.Paul, we will leave this call to you. As soon as you feel the tyres

:54:14. > :54:20.are shot... We did not catch all of that, but we got the gist. Di Resta

:54:20. > :54:25.will get the choice. There have been a few mistakes in strategy in

:54:25. > :54:35.qualifying, and they say they want people to decide. We have the

:54:35. > :54:46.

:54:46. > :54:55.benefit of no background noise. A small error from Sebastian Vettel.

:54:55. > :55:02.rare error from him. But coming back to Paul's message... Oh, here is

:55:02. > :55:06.another one. Settle down, bring your tyres back in. We hear all those

:55:06. > :55:10.messages and it sounds clear. But when you are in the race car, there

:55:10. > :55:14.are so much background noise. You are strapped to a race engine and

:55:14. > :55:19.you don't always hear the message. Paul might have thought he was

:55:19. > :55:26.getting a message to go to the shop, rather than" come in when your

:55:26. > :55:31.tyres are shot"! Paul di Resta is still going. He has not made a

:55:31. > :55:41.pitstop after 53 laps of this race. The longevity he is getting out of

:55:41. > :55:51.those tyres is amazing. Lewis Hamilton is trying hard, but the gap

:55:51. > :55:55.

:55:55. > :56:01.is down to 3.9 seconds to Alonso. Hamilton has no choice but to push.

:56:01. > :56:07.He has to defend against Alonso and Webber if he wants a podium. He has

:56:07. > :56:17.a healthy gap of over 25 seconds to Nico Rosberg. For Hamilton, it is

:56:17. > :56:22.

:56:22. > :56:29.second-place, or he could find himself in fourth place. I don't

:56:29. > :56:36.think Sebastian Vettel is in much difficulty. Felipe Massa is behind

:56:36. > :56:42.Grosjean, but not for much longer. The Ferraris slots past the Lotus to

:56:42. > :56:48.move back into a points scoring position. Raikkonen is only another

:56:48. > :56:58.three seconds up the road. It has been a tough day for Lotus. They

:56:58. > :57:02.

:57:02. > :57:08.have not shown the performance they would have been hoping for. Mercedes

:57:08. > :57:12.will definitely jump ahead of Lotus if the positions stay as they are.

:57:12. > :57:15.Raikkonen is still on target at the moment to match Michael

:57:15. > :57:25.Schumacher's record of 24 consecutive races in the points, but

:57:25. > :57:27.

:57:27. > :57:32.not by a huge amount. Di Resta is not coming in yet. He is having fun!

:57:32. > :57:42.He is in the groove. Got through the difficult phase. How is the lap time

:57:42. > :57:46.looking? Very good. 18.4, only a second off our race leader.

:57:46. > :57:55.Jean-Eric Vergne is having a quiet time. But it is a key performance

:57:55. > :58:00.for him. He has made one pitstop. He has done 39 laps on the current set

:58:00. > :58:07.of tyres, so he is trying to go a long way. Right now, for the young

:58:07. > :58:17.Frenchman, it is working. He is in sixth position. Incomes Grosjean.

:58:17. > :58:20.This is his second pit stop. He was not able to make it to the end. I

:58:20. > :58:29.wonder whether Lotus are paying the price of trying to make it one-stop

:58:29. > :58:39.for both cars. We may catch Hamilton by the end of the race. Keep up the

:58:39. > :58:40.

:58:41. > :58:46.pace. Hamilton is behind Massa at the moment, and Alonso is catching.

:58:47. > :58:51.Matter has to get out of the way. He has beaten given the blue flag, but

:58:51. > :58:59.that was an opportunity for Ferrari to hold him up for an extra corner.

:58:59. > :59:03.Massa will be aware that he has his team-mate behind him. He did not

:59:03. > :59:13.have the best starting positions, but has lost a lot of time this

:59:13. > :59:14.

:59:14. > :59:20.afternoon relative to his team-mate. We could do a precautionary pitstop

:59:20. > :59:30.to change tyres. They have an advantage of 15 seconds at the

:59:30. > :59:38.moment. Alonso's gap to Hamilton is down to 1.9 seconds, so he was able

:59:38. > :59:45.to use that lap to gain more time on Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton's front

:59:45. > :59:55.left is looking a bit worn. It is showing signs of graining. That is

:59:55. > :59:56.

:59:56. > :00:01.allowing Alonso to get into that so. Alonso comes up behind Massa. Masur

:00:01. > :00:06.has had such a torrid time in Monaco and now in Montreal, with three

:00:06. > :00:11.crashes. The one here was not as heavy as the ones in Monaco, but it

:00:11. > :00:20.is still something he has never experienced for, bashing so often

:00:20. > :00:30.and in sequence. He was disturbed by it yesterday. Good chance for

:00:30. > :00:51.

:00:51. > :00:56.Ferrari today, but the big rivals from the race. And what about the

:00:56. > :01:05.start of qualifying? By Terry Bottas is in 40 the place. It does

:01:05. > :01:11.not look as if Williams will be able to score points today. It has

:01:11. > :01:15.been amateur driver from him. He got that position on merit. It

:01:15. > :01:24.worked well on qualifying date. They do not have the pace on race

:01:24. > :01:30.day. Alonso is closing that gap again. Hamilton is up ahead. He is

:01:30. > :01:38.gradually eating into that gap. Paul di Resta has come into the

:01:38. > :01:43.pits at last. 57 laps on his medium compound tyres. The pit stop goes

:01:43. > :01:50.well for him. He will have to use the super soft tyres at some point

:01:50. > :01:59.in the race. That was a brilliant drive from him this afternoon. He

:01:59. > :02:09.is going to come out well in front of Adrian Sutil. RADIO: They are

:02:09. > :02:12.

:02:12. > :02:19.looking good. Let me drive, man. Lewis Hamilton knows what he is

:02:19. > :02:25.doing. We had to wait a long time to see for us endear and Paul di

:02:25. > :02:28.Resta come into the pit, but it went well when he dared. They were

:02:28. > :02:33.sitting on their chairs with their gobbles up, they did not have time

:02:33. > :02:39.to put their goggles down before they got the call to go out. They

:02:39. > :02:49.were still taking the blankets of when Paul was only 15 metres away.

:02:49. > :02:52.

:02:52. > :02:59.A really late call. John Eric Vergne has been in sixth position.

:02:59. > :03:03.He has come into the pits. He is going to try and come out in front

:03:03. > :03:10.of Paul di Resta. That was in response to Paul di Resta making

:03:10. > :03:20.that stop. It will be a battle of fresh tyres for both of them to the

:03:20. > :03:23.

:03:23. > :03:29.end. That will be a close-run thing. It is going to be very close.

:03:29. > :03:35.Alonso is closing on Hamilton. He is within a second and is in DRS

:03:35. > :03:40.range. Adrain Sutil is being lapped by Hamilton. He has got to get out

:03:40. > :03:45.of the way. The blue, flashing lights are telling him he is

:03:45. > :03:51.wasting time. He should not be battling with these guys, he is a

:03:51. > :04:01.lap down. Alonso will be able to have a run on Hamilton down to the

:04:01. > :04:02.

:04:02. > :04:06.second chicane. They used to be very close. Adrian Sutil is not

:04:06. > :04:16.making it easy for Lewis Hamilton this afternoon when he is a lap

:04:16. > :04:22.down. Alonso is ripe with the Mercedes. Webber has dropped away.

:04:22. > :04:29.He has dropped nine seconds behind. For whatever reason the Red Bull is

:04:29. > :04:39.not as quick. Now Adrain Sutil gets out of the way. Both cars are still

:04:39. > :04:41.

:04:42. > :04:48.in the DRS a zone. Maybe he did his old mate a favour. Ten laps to go

:04:48. > :04:52.up. Can Hamilton hang on for a second? Orwell Ferraris get up into

:04:52. > :04:58.second place and reduce the damage limitation of Sebastian Vettel

:04:58. > :05:08.beating them again. Sebastian Vettel is very much on his way to

:05:08. > :05:11.

:05:11. > :05:16.victory in Canada. But who is going to get second place? There is a

:05:16. > :05:21.good element of respect between these two. But Hamilton has got his

:05:21. > :05:28.work cut out to try and keep that Ferrari behind. This is an

:05:28. > :05:38.interesting shot. It gives you an idea of how quickly they go. This

:05:38. > :05:39.

:05:39. > :05:45.is turn 10. You can see the vibration. I am sure all the teams

:05:45. > :05:52.will be studying pictures like that. Hamilton stays in front in the DRS

:05:52. > :05:58.a zone. Alonso is not quite close enough. This could be a real cat

:05:58. > :06:04.and mouse game. In terms of tyre where, they have got pretty much

:06:04. > :06:13.the same. A drive-through penalty for Adrian Sutil for ignoring the

:06:13. > :06:18.blue flags. He will lose places. Maybe he will come in intent and

:06:18. > :06:25.promote Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. That is a bit silly of him.

:06:25. > :06:30.There is no point in ignoring those flats. You have to react. You

:06:30. > :06:40.cannot claim that you cannot see the blue flags with those big

:06:40. > :06:40.

:06:40. > :06:45.boards flashing at you. We are back on board with Alonso. Look at the

:06:45. > :06:51.deceleration, the contrasting driving styles. He goes a bit wider

:06:51. > :06:57.on entry. That Mercedes has good traction. At this point that ers

:06:57. > :07:07.will open up and Alonso well close the gap on Hamilton. It is too late

:07:07. > :07:07.

:07:07. > :07:14.to the entry to the chicane at 13 and 14. He is close, but I am not

:07:14. > :07:24.sure there is a chance. The traffic might affect things. The same

:07:24. > :07:25.

:07:25. > :07:31.strategy of tyres. Hamilton's tyres are a fraction younger than Alonsos.

:07:32. > :07:37.Just trying to get the car of Maldonado moved out of the way. He

:07:37. > :07:46.is in 70 the plays and he does move out of the way. Williams are not

:07:46. > :07:52.going to score any points today. Joining us, his team principal of

:07:52. > :07:59.Mercedes, Ross Brawn. You are just about to lose your place. Alonso is

:07:59. > :08:05.drawing alongside Hamilton. You might not hold on to second place.

:08:05. > :08:15.Hamilton did his utmost. How are you calling this one? It is pretty

:08:15. > :08:15.

:08:15. > :08:23.exciting. This is why we are here this weekend. That is great stuff.

:08:23. > :08:31.The DRS is so powerful at Montreal. You have got to the arias in this

:08:31. > :08:38.sector as well. Alonso is taking second place. He has got past Lewis

:08:38. > :08:42.Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton is back down to third. Not so good for you.

:08:42. > :08:49.Is there anything different that he could have done? Beat you get

:08:49. > :08:59.everything you could tab out of the tyres to date? I think we got the

:08:59. > :09:01.

:09:01. > :09:06.best we could. This has been a very different style of race. A Monaco

:09:06. > :09:16.you controlled the pace. In this race it seems it has been pretty

:09:16. > :09:19.

:09:19. > :09:29.much a flat out. Is that true? Yes, in some respects. DRS is such a

:09:29. > :09:29.

:09:29. > :09:38.factor so that when somebody gets onto the back of you like that, it

:09:38. > :09:42.is a factor of. Hamilton is in third and Webber is in fourth and

:09:42. > :09:52.Nico Rosberg is in fifth place. Sebastian Vettel is on his way to

:09:52. > :09:55.

:09:55. > :09:59.winning and they have got to get the best out of it they can. It is

:09:59. > :10:05.like Mark Webber has said, I have got some damage and I am going to

:10:05. > :10:14.settle for the. This afternoon. Kimi Raikkonen is in eighth place,

:10:14. > :10:21.but that is under threat from Felipe Massa. But his tyres are

:10:21. > :10:29.very much younger than Kimi Raikkonen. Felipe Massa has already

:10:29. > :10:34.made two stops. His tyres are much pressure. I do not think Kimi

:10:34. > :10:42.Raikkonen will be able to hold on much longer. Hamilton has not given

:10:42. > :10:48.up. He has got better traction than the last time around. Hamilton is

:10:48. > :10:56.going to be in the DRS zone. It will pop open. Is he going to pass

:10:56. > :11:05.in the last chicane? We have seen how a front wing can easily make

:11:05. > :11:11.contact with a rear tyre. Do not count Hamilton out. Alonso was very

:11:11. > :11:19.clever. He slowed the pace down into the last chicane and used it

:11:19. > :11:25.almost like a safety car restart. That one did not work, but Hamilton

:11:25. > :11:31.might have a bit more time. He has got slightly fresher tyres. Further

:11:31. > :11:37.down in the top 10 we were talking about Jean-Eric Vergne. He is doing

:11:37. > :11:45.fine so far in terms of maintaining pace and Paul di Resta has not been

:11:45. > :11:51.able to close that gap. Paul di Resta is 7th. Perez is only two

:11:51. > :12:01.seconds behind Adrain Sutil. There is a lot at stake this afternoon. A

:12:01. > :12:01.

:12:01. > :12:07.lot more than just one point. Can Perez Cup that gap? That is

:12:07. > :12:12.interesting. Five laps to go. Adrain Sutil had that penalty and

:12:12. > :12:22.that dropped him down into 10th positions. Let's take another look

:12:22. > :12:24.

:12:24. > :12:28.at Alonso. Getting some oversteer. He got on the sausage kerb. There

:12:28. > :12:35.is contact. You can see the Mercedes touched the back of the

:12:35. > :12:40.Ferrari and a bit of carbon flew up into the air. It is a change next

:12:40. > :12:46.year. The very fall with front wing is going to be slightly narrower

:12:46. > :12:51.again. I am not unhappy about that. It is almost too easy to clip these

:12:51. > :13:00.front wings. You have got no visibility weather front wing is

:13:00. > :13:04.when you sit in the cockpit. That is Gutierrez. It looks as if he is

:13:04. > :13:13.embedded in their. It looks like he has gone straight over without

:13:13. > :13:23.leaving the pits. He has locked up and made contact with the tyres.

:13:23. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:44.That is an embarrassing end to the crane like you would have in Monte

:13:44. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:51.Carlo to remove those cars. Massa is still behind Kimi Raikkonen, but

:13:52. > :14:00.can't overtake now. DRS has been disabled. He has to stay behind the

:14:00. > :14:10.Lotus for the moment. Sebastian Vettel is way out in front in this

:14:10. > :14:18.

:14:18. > :14:25.race will stop he has a 19 second advantage. This is the battle

:14:25. > :14:35.between Raikkonen and Massa for eighth place. I wonder what happened

:14:35. > :14:36.

:14:36. > :14:46.for Paul di Resta last time around. There is a seven second gap to

:14:46. > :14:51.Raikkonen behind. DRS is still disabled. They will not be able to

:14:51. > :14:56.use it. This is frustrating for Massa, because he can get close to

:14:56. > :15:02.the back of the Lotus, but not overtake it. And he will not be able

:15:02. > :15:06.to pass Raikkonen in the run to turn one. Can he conserve the tyres and

:15:06. > :15:10.hope they get that car moved out of the way before the chequered flag

:15:10. > :15:15.comes out? Raikkonen is still on target to match Michael

:15:15. > :15:19.Schumacher's record of 24 consecutive points finishes. It is

:15:19. > :15:27.easier nowadays, of course. You get points all the way down to 10th

:15:27. > :15:30.position. But when you consider that he has come back into Formula One,

:15:30. > :15:36.it is a very impressive return for Kimi Raikkonen. There is Sebastian

:15:36. > :15:44.Vettel. Finally, it looks as though the Canadian Grand Prix is going to

:15:44. > :15:50.go his way. Red Bull have never won a race in North America. It is such

:15:50. > :15:55.a big market for them and such a big deal for them to win in this part of

:15:55. > :15:59.the world, and it looks as though it will happen this time. He was

:15:59. > :16:08.incredible through that damp qualifying session. We have not had

:16:08. > :16:13.the car conservation issues we have seen at other Grand Prix. Maybe a

:16:13. > :16:18.bit boring having Sebastian so far out front, but there have in some

:16:18. > :16:23.great battles in the middle of the pack. In terms of the championship,

:16:23. > :16:30.though this will be great news for Sebastian Vettel. He will have a 37

:16:30. > :16:39.point lead over Fernando Alonso. Mind you, Alonso had a 40 point lead

:16:39. > :16:45.last year and then it did not go his way. Is Alonso going to be able to

:16:45. > :16:55.get past Kimi Raikkonen? He will have to get himself into the second

:16:55. > :17:01.

:17:02. > :17:07.chicane. It is all about having a nice, clean chicane. The DRS

:17:07. > :17:17.detection point is coming up. We have no yellow flags now. We are

:17:17. > :17:17.

:17:17. > :17:24.clear now. Sebastian Vettel is on to his final lap. How good is the top

:17:24. > :17:29.speed of this Ferrari with DRS? Raikkonen goes to the inside, Massa

:17:29. > :17:35.goes to the outside, and there is nothing like and can do. His tyres

:17:35. > :17:43.are much older. Felipe Massa moves into eighth place. By the way, Mark

:17:43. > :17:48.Webber, out of nowhere, has just set the fastest lap of 1: 16. But

:17:48. > :17:56.Sebastian Vettel has set the fastest first sector of anybody, and we know

:17:56. > :18:04.how he loves to get in front. think he has led every lap of this

:18:04. > :18:10.race, even with pitstops. If he gets fastest lap, that would be the Grand

:18:11. > :18:16.Slam of doing everything at a Grand Prix. Fastest lap would be the icing

:18:16. > :18:21.on the cake. There is no doubt that he is going to take the win.

:18:21. > :18:26.Sebastian Vettel comes out of the final chicane in Canada. He wins in

:18:26. > :18:31.Canada for the first time! The time lucky in terms of all positions over

:18:31. > :18:37.the last few years. He has taken victory for Red Bull. It is his 29th

:18:37. > :18:44.career win. He did not get fastest lap on that last lap, but it is his

:18:44. > :18:48.third win of 2013 and it gives him a very useful championship advantage.

:18:48. > :18:54.Alonso finishes second, Hamilton third. Hamilton could not do it in

:18:54. > :19:01.the end. Alonso came from sixth on the grid to finish in second place.

:19:01. > :19:06.Hamilton is on the podium again. Webber finishes in fourth, from Ross

:19:06. > :19:10.Burke in fifth position. We think Jean-Eric Vergne has held on to take

:19:11. > :19:17.sixth position from Paul di Resta in seventh. Good run from Di Resta to

:19:17. > :19:25.get into the points. Fantastic! You have won the Canadian Grand Prix.

:19:25. > :19:30.Makes up for two years ago. Brilliant drive. Yes! We won

:19:30. > :19:40.Canada! Thank you. That was amazing. The car was amazing. Thank

:19:40. > :19:42.

:19:42. > :19:48.you, boys. Yes! One of the few Grand Prix missing from his impressive

:19:48. > :19:52.CV. The triple world champion wins in Canada in impressive style. 14

:19:52. > :19:56.seconds were the advantage. He really showed it to the opposition

:19:56. > :20:04.today. Mark Webber finished in fourth position in the other Red

:20:04. > :20:08.Bull. He did not seem to be able to match the pace of Alonso, but he did

:20:08. > :20:12.have that front wing damage on the car, which they said not to change

:20:12. > :20:15.because he would have lost time in the pits. That was probably why

:20:16. > :20:25.Webber was not able to continue apace. He was right there until

:20:26. > :20:26.

:20:26. > :21:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:21:09. > :21:18.three quarters of the way through battle of the young teams, and we

:21:18. > :21:26.lost three cars. Very good job this weekend. The traffic did not help

:21:26. > :21:36.today, but very good job. That was Ross Brawn, congratulating Lewis

:21:36. > :21:37.

:21:37. > :21:42.Hamilton. Very exciting, as Alonso managed to claim that second place.

:21:42. > :21:48.Alonso drove brilliant lead today to maximise what he had with the

:21:48. > :21:52.Ferrari. But Sebastian Vettel continues on his winning ways.

:21:52. > :21:56.People say he has the best car, but when you see the kind of performance

:21:56. > :22:01.he puts in, especially in the wet qualifying yesterday, it does not

:22:01. > :22:06.matter what the car is, it is about pure driving talent. Amazingly, some

:22:06. > :22:11.people still question how good he is. They say it is all about the

:22:11. > :22:16.car. I consider Mark Webber to be a quality race driver, but Sebastian

:22:16. > :22:22.just manages to deliver when it matters in qualifying. How often

:22:22. > :22:27.have we seen him break the DRS is owned by lap two and then march away

:22:27. > :22:31.with a Grand Prix? He fought for it today. He touched the wall at turn

:22:31. > :22:39.four and ran wide on the entry to turn one. That was aggressive

:22:39. > :22:42.driving out front and a massive winning margin. Hugely impressive,

:22:42. > :22:46.14.4 second winning margin. Alonso will be relatively satisfied. He

:22:46. > :22:56.would have loved to have not seen Sebastian Vettel score, of course,

:22:56. > :22:58.

:22:58. > :23:02.but he moves up to second. This was Massa getting past Raikkonen.

:23:02. > :23:07.Sebastian Vettel came within half a lap of doing this two years ago.

:23:07. > :23:12.Jenson Button beat him on the last lap of that incredibly dry Grand

:23:12. > :23:19.Prix that went on for over four hours. He lost on that occasion, but

:23:19. > :23:29.surely this makes up for that, because he has dominated. Shaking of

:23:29. > :24:09.

:24:09. > :24:14.hands between the guys. Let's listen When they are studying those

:24:14. > :24:22.screens, David, what are they looking for? Are they able to learn

:24:22. > :24:26.anything more other than where other people finished? Lap times, gaps.

:24:26. > :24:30.They have only been able to look through their helmet, that very

:24:30. > :24:37.small aperture that tells them what is going on in the world. This is

:24:37. > :24:43.their opportunity to see where their bodies are. They have been to busy

:24:43. > :24:51.being in the Grand Prix. Now it is time for them to head out onto the

:24:51. > :24:58.podium area. There is a mass of cameras. Hamilton did not manage to

:24:58. > :25:01.hold onto second place, but still solid performance. Alonso second,

:25:01. > :25:11.but finally, Sebastian Vettel manages to win in Canada and the red

:25:11. > :25:11.

:25:11. > :27:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:27:18. > :27:21.Bull team take a victory here as The anthems play out, something

:27:21. > :27:25.Sebastian Vettel is accustomed to, but surely with the greatest

:27:25. > :27:29.satisfaction today, finally winning this Grand Prix today which has

:27:29. > :27:33.escaped him in the past. That is the trophy, which he has been wanting to

:27:33. > :27:39.get hold of, and he did it so superbly well today that nobody else

:27:39. > :27:43.really saw where he went! He was so far up the road. There is his race

:27:43. > :27:48.engineer. Lovely opportunity for him to pick up the construct the's

:27:48. > :27:53.trophy. We often hear him on the radio. It was his opportunity to

:27:54. > :27:59.celebrate. They work so well, the pair of them. They seem to mind read

:27:59. > :28:02.each other. Even though rocky occasionally the rates him, it is a

:28:03. > :28:06.good relationship. Fernando Alonso takes second place after starting

:28:06. > :28:12.further back. Ferrari still have work to do, but they have got a

:28:12. > :28:17.competitive car. Now another podium keeps him in the championship hunt.

:28:17. > :28:21.And Hamilton, another third place. He has not had the victory that

:28:21. > :28:25.team-mate Nico Rosberg has had, but he has been consistently scoring for

:28:25. > :28:32.the team. He must be looking forward to the British Grand Prix in a few

:28:32. > :28:36.weeks' time. Celebration time here in Canada, though, and a bit of a

:28:36. > :28:39.brick comes up after this for these guys. A couple of weekends off,

:28:40. > :28:46.before they go to the wide-open expanses of the fast Silverstone

:28:47. > :28:51.circuit. Each of these guys have won therein the past. It will be

:28:51. > :29:01.important to try and pick up the victory. A little while since

:29:01. > :29:17.

:29:17. > :29:27.Rocky looking soaked in champagne, but he is up there for the

:29:27. > :29:37.

:29:37. > :29:45.It is time for the podium interviews to take place. Doing the

:29:45. > :29:55.interviews it is once again Eddie Jordan. He got his first points as

:29:55. > :29:58.

:29:58. > :30:04.a team owner here in Canada. Three world champions, I am spoilt for

:30:04. > :30:12.choice. Textbook win, you seemed to win at ease. Tell us about it.

:30:12. > :30:18.First of all, thank you everybody. It was a great race and I had a

:30:18. > :30:23.very good start which was important and I was able to go with the car

:30:23. > :30:28.and on the super soft we saw that tyres were falling apart and we are

:30:28. > :30:38.as good as everybody else, so I was able to build a gap and I kept that

:30:38. > :30:38.

:30:38. > :30:45.gap through the race. At some stage in the race we had a pit-stop. It

:30:45. > :30:51.was a great race and a great job by the team. Perfect pit stops and I

:30:51. > :30:55.also think North America is a great place before racing. Finally we got

:30:55. > :31:01.it off at the list. The sun came out today and it could not get any

:31:01. > :31:07.better. If I have to ask you about that because it seems unbelievable

:31:07. > :31:13.you have never won here before, or indeed Red Bull. How does it feel

:31:13. > :31:18.to get the monkey off the back so to speak? We had good races before.

:31:18. > :31:24.Two years ago I was very close and I lost it in the last lap. I made

:31:24. > :31:28.up for that today. It was a great car by the team and we were able to

:31:28. > :31:34.pull away from the rest of the field and it was most important to

:31:34. > :31:40.control the race. It was difficult at stages where traffic, but it was

:31:40. > :31:47.great. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Canadian Grand Prix

:31:47. > :31:52.and the leader of the championship. When I read your report yesterday

:31:52. > :31:57.when you said you thought you may have eight times to come from sixth

:31:57. > :32:07.position to get a win, I was saying how is he going to try and do that?

:32:07. > :32:10.

:32:11. > :32:15.You nearly did it. It was a magic, tenacious drive. Bonjour. Obviously

:32:15. > :32:20.we did not have a good qualifying and I did not put the lap together

:32:20. > :32:26.and the conditions did not help. We knew the pace and the conditions of

:32:26. > :32:35.the car was good, so we had some hopes. We were fighting with top

:32:35. > :32:42.drivers. It is not easy. Even if you have a little bit more pace,

:32:42. > :32:45.they are super talented and it was a difficult race. At the end I

:32:45. > :32:51.think the second place has a victory taste because we scored

:32:51. > :33:00.some good points after a very difficult weekend. Fernando Alonso

:33:00. > :33:05.in Ferrari, second place. And what about Lewis Hamilton? You seem to

:33:05. > :33:11.have a lot of fans here. I have a great time here every year and

:33:11. > :33:16.thank you very much for the support. We were all enthralled how clean

:33:16. > :33:21.and correct and how exciting the fight was with Ben Ando. What did

:33:21. > :33:29.you damage on the car? Some small part of my wing came off, but it

:33:29. > :33:36.was very close. He is very fair and I hope we can get quicker in the

:33:36. > :33:41.next race. The do you feel really good about going forward with this

:33:41. > :33:47.team? The car is getting better and we need to keep pushing to close

:33:47. > :33:53.the gaps on these guys. Let's show your appreciation for our winners

:33:53. > :33:57.today. A fantastic job. Thank you, Montreal, you have been fantastic

:33:57. > :34:02.to us. Sebastian Vettel has finally won in

:34:02. > :34:08.Canada, but there is no question that the locals adore Fernando

:34:08. > :34:13.Alonso and they are both one and two in the championship again.

:34:13. > :34:18.The battles throughout the field today, but it did not make any

:34:18. > :34:24.difference for Sebastian Vettel, 14.4 seconds ahead of Fernando

:34:24. > :34:29.Alonso. He was just too good today. He made it a bit tricky for you,

:34:29. > :34:36.Christian Horner. But there is a smile on your face. He it was an

:34:36. > :34:40.amazing day for Sebastien and the team. We have never won here before

:34:40. > :34:45.and Sebastien's performance was dominant. We had to slow him down

:34:45. > :34:50.more than anything. There were a few hairy moments and he almost

:34:50. > :34:55.went into the wall at one point. touched the wall quite

:34:55. > :35:00.significantly in the middle sector and he was pushing to get a pit

:35:00. > :35:05.stop, but he got his head down and got on with it and in the end it

:35:06. > :35:09.was a fantastic ride. For me I thought it was a great Grand Prix

:35:09. > :35:15.because it looked as if everyone was pushing to the limit of the

:35:15. > :35:21.tyres. In Monaco there was not a lot of tier management going on. Is

:35:21. > :35:26.that how it was? It was flat out from start to finish as it should

:35:26. > :35:30.be. Mark was pushing hard. It is a pity he got his front wing damage

:35:30. > :35:40.otherwise I am sure he could have been up there as well today. It was

:35:40. > :35:47.

:35:47. > :35:52.start. Mark Webber got out well. It is unusual not to see contact at

:35:52. > :35:58.the first few corners. It is remarkable. There is usually an

:35:58. > :36:06.incident in the first few corners. They all kept it clean. Bottas was

:36:06. > :36:12.not able to keep his pace. Mark was complaining about the traffic and

:36:12. > :36:16.the blue flax later on. Why was that bad towards the end? That is

:36:16. > :36:23.where Sebastien hit the wall. You can see that tyre marks he leaves

:36:23. > :36:28.on the wall. We got away with that. Is he not getting enough effect

:36:28. > :36:35.that if he has to go and kiss the wall? He is doing enough cuddling

:36:35. > :36:40.as it is. It was a wake up for him. If you have got a big lead, it is

:36:40. > :36:47.easy to lose your concentration. Rocky was telling him remember what

:36:47. > :36:57.happened in 1988. Let's talk about mark. Do you think he could have

:36:57. > :36:57.

:36:57. > :37:05.got a podium without the damage? lost a lot of downforce. Giedo van

:37:05. > :37:11.der Garde left the door open for him, as he is obliged to do. Mark

:37:11. > :37:19.was left extremely vulnerable to Fernando Alonso. David, how did you

:37:19. > :37:24.see this? I am getting a push from a journalist. If you think it is

:37:24. > :37:30.tight out on track, it is pretty tight here. We are getting messages

:37:30. > :37:36.from our director. You see the front wing end plate just fall off

:37:36. > :37:42.and go under the tyre. There is at that point back is a puncture. He

:37:42. > :37:48.lost a lot of downforce, but the time to replace the nose would have

:37:48. > :37:52.been bigger. Were you surprised he was able to make good times despite

:37:52. > :37:59.the damage? Yes, that is why we stayed out rather than changing the

:37:59. > :38:05.nose. Mark to, how damaged was that front when? How much did it can pay

:38:05. > :38:11.you in the end? It was pretty knackered to be fair. The whole top

:38:11. > :38:16.section was gone. It did not happen from then on. Fernando Alonso is

:38:16. > :38:23.going to sniff out anything when you have damage on the car. I do

:38:23. > :38:28.not know what he was doing, there were a lot of blue flags. When I

:38:28. > :38:34.got to the apex I got completely on the kerb trying to give him as much

:38:34. > :38:40.root as possible, but he kept trying to make the apex. Yes, I

:38:40. > :38:45.don't know. We need to sort out what is going on with that. Some

:38:45. > :38:50.guys already have too much concentration on driving the car.

:38:50. > :38:58.What about Rosberg? You look as if you were tried to keep out of his

:38:58. > :39:03.slipstream. Yes, it was hot, the brakes were boiling. We had a

:39:03. > :39:10.pretty difficult car in traffic, but it was pretty good ones we got

:39:10. > :39:14.into clean air. I only got a few laps on my own before we damaged

:39:14. > :39:24.the car with that guy. He was talking about traffic and that

:39:24. > :39:26.

:39:26. > :39:31.It is very clear, the rules. Even if you do not see the blue flax,

:39:31. > :39:35.your team is telling you. The information comes up on the screen

:39:35. > :39:41.and the engineers are able to relate that information to the

:39:41. > :39:48.drivers. Her I did you feel about the incident with Adrian Sutil? A

:39:48. > :39:52.lot of fans on Twitter were irate that he was in the way. David is

:39:52. > :39:57.right, it is difficult, because everybody is thinking of their own

:39:57. > :40:03.race and the best they can bring home at for their team. Sometimes

:40:03. > :40:09.it takes their mind off it. The judges are there to do it. As far

:40:09. > :40:14.as Hamilton was concerned, they were on the podium, three world

:40:14. > :40:18.champions, I do not see anything wrong with today. Of course, the

:40:18. > :40:25.judges will look to see who is at fault with the overtaking rules.

:40:25. > :40:33.One of the headlines, Paul di Resta, 57 laps. Let's have a look at his

:40:33. > :40:38.dark. He made a perfectly good get away. They go into that massive

:40:38. > :40:46.concertina effect in turn one. Very sensibly giving some distance to

:40:46. > :40:50.the McLaren. That was a great drive from Paul di Resta. He was a little

:40:50. > :40:57.bit short and not happy after qualifying, but a great comeback

:40:57. > :41:06.today. Let's hear from him now. 57 laps, you are the best advert for

:41:06. > :41:14.Pirelli. Given what happened on Friday, we had a very quick car.

:41:14. > :41:20.After yesterday, another disaster, but we have recovered very strongly.

:41:20. > :41:24.We have to pull something out of the basket. We hope we have a

:41:24. > :41:29.trouble-free weekend because it would be nice to come out with a

:41:29. > :41:32.result like that for the British fans. There have been a few

:41:32. > :41:37.mistakes in the past couple of races and the team are saying to

:41:37. > :41:42.you now, you can come in and tell us when you want to change tyres.

:41:42. > :41:50.Is that pressure on the driver? is a bit, but I think we got it

:41:50. > :41:56.spot on. In the last lap I felt they were going away. Wheat at the

:41:56. > :42:00.longer game and made sure we secured the points. To come away

:42:00. > :42:05.with a 7th after starting on 17th, it is a good job and we will look

:42:05. > :42:11.to build upon it. What a difference a day makes because it has been a

:42:11. > :42:18.contentious weekend for him. Very disappointed yesterday and now you

:42:18. > :42:23.can see him smiling. It was a terrific drive for him today.

:42:23. > :42:27.did not get any long-run data. The only thing that that matters is

:42:27. > :42:32.this date in history and this particular moment in history. You

:42:32. > :42:36.can do as much preparation as you like, but you have to perform on

:42:36. > :42:42.the day. He wanted to beat his team-mate. Adrian looked very

:42:42. > :42:50.strong, but he made the mistake with Bottas. That will be a booze

:42:50. > :42:54.for Paul. No points for McLaren. Surprised? Not really. What is

:42:54. > :43:00.surprising is they have done 66 races in the points. They have

:43:00. > :43:05.always had a reasonably quick car. But they did not seem to be able to

:43:05. > :43:09.get the performance out of the tyres. This is probably rock-bottom

:43:09. > :43:17.for McLaren. They must be able to bounce back from this because they

:43:17. > :43:27.have got the resources. They were thinking about next year's car, so

:43:27. > :43:36.

:43:36. > :43:46.than taking completely new steps. Let's be honest ash designers have

:43:46. > :43:51.

:43:51. > :43:54.massive egos and they want their car to be the best and they don't want

:43:54. > :43:56.to share, even though they are on the same team.

:43:56. > :43:58.We will have to see what McLaren come up with, but I would be

:43:58. > :44:01.concentrating on making this year work as well. Let's get Jensen's

:44:01. > :44:04.thoughts. Jensen, you had a tough day out there today? I am very

:44:04. > :44:08.pleased to see you, that is all I have to say! I have never been so

:44:08. > :44:16.pleased to get out of a car! Yeah, it was not the best race for us as a

:44:16. > :44:23.team. This circuit normally treats us pretty well. The chequered flag

:44:23. > :44:28.was special. Sadly, today, McLaren have lost that consecutive run of 64

:44:28. > :44:34.races and being in the points. Does that matter to you guys? I don't

:44:34. > :44:42.think so. That is not what we are here to achieve. We want bigger

:44:42. > :44:49.things than that. But all good things come to an end. I think I was

:44:49. > :44:53.told to say that! I don't think it matters. If we had scored a point

:44:53. > :44:58.today, we would still have been disappointed. We got easily lapped,

:44:58. > :45:02.as if we were in different categories. We did different

:45:02. > :45:08.strategies on both cars. I am not sure if starting on supersoft was

:45:08. > :45:14.the way forward. We just didn't have the speed. I don't know what else to

:45:14. > :45:20.say. You have a huge fan base at Silverstone. Is there any chance you

:45:20. > :45:28.can give them and yourself something to smile about? Our car does work on

:45:28. > :45:32.a circuit that is a bit faster and flowing. China, Malaysia, we were

:45:32. > :45:41.more competitive. So yes, I look forward to Silverstone. It can't be

:45:41. > :45:45.as bad as here. He has said it now, hasn't he! We tried some parts here

:45:45. > :45:49.that we thought would be a step forward, and they did not work for

:45:49. > :45:53.this type of circuit. But they should work for Silverstone. I look

:45:53. > :45:58.forward to it. It is always a great atmosphere. A lot of support, and

:45:58. > :46:02.hopefully we can get a reasonable result. So not a good day for

:46:02. > :46:12.McLaren, but a good day at the office for Ferrari.

:46:12. > :46:13.

:46:13. > :46:17.Great drive. Tenacious. He got into it. He followed up on his promise.

:46:17. > :46:23.He is such a consummate professional, Alonso. He is

:46:23. > :46:29.brilliant. This was a sensational race for him. David, Felipe had a

:46:29. > :46:35.very busy race. He seemed to be taking over everybody. You have to

:46:35. > :46:41.do that if you are in a quick car, running after qualifying. He made it

:46:41. > :46:45.difficult for himself with that incident. It is no big surprise that

:46:45. > :46:52.Fernando is ultimately the one thing the big points for that team. He is

:46:52. > :46:56.just relentless. He delivers time and time again. Of course, it looks

:46:56. > :47:04.like Sebastian is really finding his feet as we go into the eighth Grand

:47:04. > :47:07.Prix of the year at Silverstone, but there is a long way to go. If you

:47:07. > :47:14.were to put everyone here to vote as to who is the one person who could

:47:14. > :47:18.pull something out of the bag here, I think they would go for Alonso. He

:47:18. > :47:24.gets on with it, he minds his own business, he is never in trouble, he

:47:24. > :47:28.does everything by the book. He is a massive fans' favourite as well. We

:47:28. > :47:36.are nearly coming to the end of our BBC show, but we have our forum show

:47:36. > :47:43.straight after this on the red button. If you have any questions,

:47:43. > :47:47.please use the # BBC F1, and we will try and answer as many of those as

:47:47. > :47:53.we can. And of course, we will be back for the next race in three

:47:53. > :47:56.weeks' time. It is Silverstone on the 29th and 30th June. It is going

:47:56. > :48:02.to be something else. There is something special about the British

:48:02. > :48:11.Grand Prix. Totally. You will be playing with your band. But I am

:48:11. > :48:21.usually in a tent. Mine is bigger than his! There are four British

:48:21. > :49:00.

:49:00. > :49:08.drivers, all sorts of stuff going on other Grand Prix. So British. The

:49:08. > :49:12.red arrows will be there again. me, it kicks off the big sporting

:49:12. > :49:16.summer in Britain. You have Wimbledon and the British Grand

:49:16. > :49:19.Prix, which for me is number one. There are still tickets available

:49:19. > :49:26.for anyone who wants to join us and be at the beating heart of Formula

:49:26. > :49:30.One. Are you looking forward to it? Absolutely. Silverstone is the true

:49:30. > :49:35.home of the British Grand Prix. It is much more than just a race

:49:35. > :49:38.weekend, it is all the parties that go on around it. It is not quite the

:49:38. > :49:48.Mediterranean of multi-Carlo, being up in Northampton, but it has been

:49:48. > :49:50.

:49:50. > :49:53.your home for many years. Monte Carlo or Silverstone? Silverstone.

:49:53. > :50:01.Silverstone was the first thing that went into your diary at the

:50:01. > :50:05.beginning of the year. I know Bernie does a lot of charity dos for the
