:00:08. > :00:24.Previously: Race 16, India. This is Formula One.
:00:25. > :02:12.I am just standing here, wishing I was somewhere else. They are making
:02:13. > :02:13.a movie. Did you see that? He just jumped off while the train was
:02:14. > :02:19.moving. So this jumped off while the train was
:02:20. > :02:23.chance for us to have a bit of India. Formula One probably will not
:02:24. > :02:33.come back. That is a shame. It is a great place, great style, character.
:02:34. > :02:36.How do you feel about it? You see the extremes of wealth and poverty.
:02:37. > :02:41.I know this is not exclusive to India, but it is so visible here.
:02:42. > :02:46.There is a lot of work necessary to fill the void between the haves and
:02:47. > :02:50.have-nots. I thought it was a huge addition to the calendar. I am
:02:51. > :02:55.thinking mainly of the commercial side as well as the cultural side.
:02:56. > :03:02.This is a vast country, 1.2 billion people. And they really only have
:03:03. > :03:06.one sport, cricket. Cricket is huge, because anyone can play it in
:03:07. > :03:11.this treats. Formula One is a technology sport, so it is an
:03:12. > :03:16.exclusive world. This country need something other than cricket. They
:03:17. > :03:25.love their cars, and they are wacky when it comes to road manners. We
:03:26. > :03:39.have got to get off, quick! Guard dog. Is he alive? Yeah, he is
:03:40. > :03:50.sleeping. Put your seat belt on Eddie. This is the definition of
:03:51. > :03:59.crazy. Makes the Grand Prix look like child's play. We are getting
:04:00. > :04:06.off here. Get down, grandad. I thought cows were sacred. Our goat
:04:07. > :04:23.sacred, to? I don't know where to go. I find the colour amazing. It is
:04:24. > :04:34.so vibrant. Very beautiful. Present for you. I needed to come to India
:04:35. > :04:36.to appreciate how much I love you. Eddie, you are really getting on my
:04:37. > :05:04.goat. This is a rare oasis of calm in
:05:05. > :05:09.Delhi. It is so unbelievably quiet compared to where we have just come
:05:10. > :05:15.from. Let's have that conversation. This is a big weekend for Vettel.
:05:16. > :05:20.Top five, and he has got it. And he deserves it. He has done everything
:05:21. > :05:26.right. He has minded himself. He has won these nine Grand Prix so far. He
:05:27. > :05:32.deserves to win the championship. And strategy -wise? Pirelli have got
:05:33. > :05:42.softer tyres than in the past. Vettel has been on pole and has led
:05:43. > :05:46.every lap. But like Brazil last year, when he got involved in an
:05:47. > :05:49.incident in the first lap, when you expect something to be cut and
:05:50. > :05:54.dried, it does not always work out that way. Really? And there was me
:05:55. > :06:02.thinking this was such a fitting place to crown a world champion
:06:03. > :06:05.Hello and welcome to the Buddh International Circuit in Delhi for
:06:06. > :06:08.the Indian Grand Prix. This is the first realistic chance that the
:06:09. > :06:12.triple world champion Hummer Sebastian Vettel, will have to
:06:13. > :06:16.clinch his fourth consecutive title will stop here is the deal. With a
:06:17. > :06:44.top five finish, Sebastian Vettel can guarantee the title.
:06:45. > :06:53.With a huge disparity between the two tyre compounds yesterday,
:06:54. > :06:56.qualifying was intriguing. After two podiums in the last two
:06:57. > :06:59.races, Romain Grosjean should have been challenging for the front row,
:07:00. > :07:05.but he was sent out on the harder tyre and was eliminated in Q1. He
:07:06. > :07:10.starts from 17. Fernando Alonso is the only challenger who could stop
:07:11. > :07:16.Vettel from winning the title. He starts on the Hyder tyre from eighth
:07:17. > :07:22.place. Mark Webber was the highest placed driver on the harder tyre. An
:07:23. > :07:29.impressive lap put him forth. Unlike other teams on a Mercedes did not
:07:30. > :07:34.split the strategy. Both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg used the
:07:35. > :07:37.softer tyres. Mossberg took second, leaving Sebastian Vettel to take is
:07:38. > :07:41.the whole position at the Indian circuit in as many years and gives
:07:42. > :07:49.him the best possible to win -- best position to win the race. With the
:07:50. > :07:56.different strategies tomorrow, it could be a different race. But in
:07:57. > :08:02.the end, if you manage to make a strategy work, you have got 60 laps
:08:03. > :08:06.to do that. We are in a good position to have a great result So
:08:07. > :08:37.Vettel get his seventh pole position of the season.
:08:38. > :08:43.Lights out, away we go, and it is a good start from Lewis Hamilton once
:08:44. > :08:47.again, but not enough to get him in front. Sebastian Vettel leads into
:08:48. > :08:54.the first corner. Hamilton is a second ahead of his team-mate.
:08:55. > :08:58.Contact with the Ferrari. Was that Alonso or Massa? There was some
:08:59. > :09:05.front wing damage on the car. Webber is losing ground. He is dropping
:09:06. > :09:09.back several places. Hulkenberg and Raikkonen are ahead of him. Mark
:09:10. > :09:24.Webber has not had the start he wanted. Sebastian Vettel in front.
:09:25. > :09:33.Mass in second place. -- Masser We saw some thing fly off the car.
:09:34. > :09:45.So Raikkonen hit Webber. He was apportioning blame before anyone
:09:46. > :09:52.asked. So, Alonso not having a good first lap this time. Massa is into
:09:53. > :09:55.second position as he chases Sebastian Vettel. This is not the
:09:56. > :10:02.start that Alonso wanted. He needs to finish first or second.
:10:03. > :10:10.RADIO: looks OK at the moment, Kimi. The reports from the team are hoping
:10:11. > :10:15.that the car is not badly damaged. Is Vettel doing his usual trick on
:10:16. > :10:29.Webber is still ahead of anybody second advantage.
:10:30. > :10:34.Webber is still ahead of anybody else on the harder tyre. You saw
:10:35. > :10:42.Romain Grosjean towards the back, he has not made a lot of progress yet.
:10:43. > :10:47.Presumably, they want to get off the soft tyre as quickly as possible.
:10:48. > :10:53.They have done just one lap. That is all you need to do, as long as you
:10:54. > :11:03.use it at some point. Button is looking down the inside.
:11:04. > :11:17.RADIO: Chilton, what an idiot. A complaint about Max Chilton. There
:11:18. > :11:23.was contact. Jenson Button is way down. He has lost out a lot in this
:11:24. > :11:33.first lap. He is down in 13th position, so bad news for Jenson
:11:34. > :11:36.Button. We thought the soft tyres might go further than this, but
:11:37. > :11:42.already, they are going to bring Sebastian Vettel in. He almost made
:11:43. > :11:47.a mistake coming in. Gets away with it, but this, we were not
:11:48. > :12:01.expecting. We knew it would be early. Surprisingly that Vettel has
:12:02. > :12:08.gone for it so early. Tom, he has gone past you? Yeah, he has. Red
:12:09. > :12:23.Bull simulated this during final practice yesterday. It is
:12:24. > :12:30.Bull simulated this during final gone through with the change. Felipe
:12:31. > :12:35.Massa will now be leading this Grand Prix in the other Ferrari. A pit
:12:36. > :12:40.stop of 8.7 seconds, but with will be a long afternoon's work now for
:12:41. > :12:45.Fernando Alonso. If he does not finish first or second, it is all
:12:46. > :12:49.Sebastian Vettel's championship He was lighting up the rear tyres as he
:12:50. > :13:03.came through turn one. Whether that was anger or frustration... Anyway,
:13:04. > :13:10.Charles Peek is -- Charles Peek is running last at the moment.
:13:11. > :13:13.Sebastian Vettel now has to try and cut through the traffic. The story
:13:14. > :13:17.of this race will be how quickly Vettel can cut his way through the
:13:18. > :13:22.traffic. Webber has managed to stay in front of anybody else on the
:13:23. > :13:26.harder compound that, the medium compound being used here. Looked
:13:27. > :13:30.like Hamilton launched well at the start, and then Vettel had to get
:13:31. > :13:35.defensive in the run down to the first corner. In the end, he
:13:36. > :13:41.probably gave a squirt of KERS to secure his position. Watching the
:13:42. > :13:51.middle pack, Fernando clips the rear of Mark Webber. It has not been a
:13:52. > :13:58.good start for him this afternoon. Webber actually hit Raikkonen, and
:13:59. > :14:05.that bounced him across. Alonso had committed to accelerating. And then
:14:06. > :14:09.Alonso made contact with Button and there was a change between the two
:14:10. > :14:17.Mercedes, because Hamilton had gone in front of Rosberg. The initial
:14:18. > :14:20.getaway from Mark was not too bad. Whether he decided not to use too
:14:21. > :14:26.much of his horsepower, there was that contact with Raikkonen. And
:14:27. > :14:32.then Alonso was clipping his rear tyre. We know how fragile these
:14:33. > :14:45.vehicles are two of sidewall contact. Hamilton launched well
:14:46. > :14:59.initially. But then he makes a mistake. Well, certainly Vettel
:15:00. > :15:05.does. He was able to open up that run towards turntable three.
:15:06. > :15:16.You can just see what it was like from Alonso's point of view and we
:15:17. > :15:20.will see the contact from Webber. Listen to the acceleration. He
:15:21. > :15:27.accelerates and Webber doesn't because of the contact with
:15:28. > :15:33.Raikkonen. Webber extremely lucky that hasn't punctured his tyre.
:15:34. > :15:39.Absolutely. Further contact with McLaren, and that was Jenson Button.
:15:40. > :15:45.So it was a pretty difficult first lap for Alonso. You will see that
:15:46. > :15:50.again here. That was unusual. Did he open up the steering to make way? He
:15:51. > :16:03.was committed to the apex and then he turned wide, and, of course, then
:16:04. > :16:09.you are committed to the turning. OK, OK, we will have a look at
:16:10. > :16:14.that. Saying the steering is really heavy on the right-hand corners
:16:15. > :16:19.Power steering, of course, on these Formula One cars, and it is all
:16:20. > :16:24.chewed to perfection. Jenson Button just nipping through after that act
:16:25. > :16:40.also Button will now be chasing after Kimi Raikkonen. Vettel is
:16:41. > :16:44.still 18 seconds behind... Button trying to attack Raikkonen! Good
:16:45. > :16:52.racing between these two! Trying to take advantage of that again! Coming
:16:53. > :16:55.round the outside! And he goes wide! It is getting frantic down there!
:16:56. > :17:04.The race leader has been told to come into the pit. Nice and tight.
:17:05. > :17:12.Good stuff. Just not able to keep it tidy but held on with turn number
:17:13. > :17:19.six, not. And that is Massa onto the prime. As Massa rejoins, where will
:17:20. > :17:25.he be compared to Sebastian Vettel? He should be two or three seconds
:17:26. > :17:34.behind him. Keypad eye on where he is. Felipe Massa rejoins. And
:17:35. > :17:38.Hamilton is out behind Rosberg. No change amongst that group.
:17:39. > :17:42.Meanwhile, this is bringing Vettel back up the order after his pit
:17:43. > :17:51.stop. Already into six place, Felipe Massa, having made that pit stop,
:17:52. > :17:55.trying to get past Bottas. Bottas from Williams. This is crucial. He
:17:56. > :18:00.takes the position and there is no way back for Bottas. You can see how
:18:01. > :18:08.wide that corner is and how it narrows up at the apex. Yes, and
:18:09. > :18:12.Felipe Massa... You can see Rosberg not far away from Felipe Massa, so
:18:13. > :18:19.that little group will be together again. Mark Webber now leads this
:18:20. > :18:23.Grand Prix. He is on the harder compound tyre and he is lapping
:18:24. > :18:27.quickly. Had the fastest lap last time around. Now he has just got to
:18:28. > :18:31.put those laps in. time around. Now he has just got to
:18:32. > :18:37.space in front of him. Nothing in front of Mark Webber
:18:38. > :18:42.and he has to make the most of that. Daniel Ricciardo is now in third.
:18:43. > :18:47.Another one who started just outside the top ten on that further compound
:18:48. > :18:52.tyre. And we're back with Fernando Alonso, into the first of the two
:18:53. > :18:57.TRS zones. This should allow him to catch up but we haven't seen many
:18:58. > :19:03.passes town into turn one. And, again, we don't see one on this
:19:04. > :19:06.occasion. Dips down excellently Vettel now getting another place and
:19:07. > :19:13.he has got past Grosjean. Grosjean is still going on his soft tyres. We
:19:14. > :19:17.wondered if he might well do this and he has allowed Vettel through.
:19:18. > :19:22.He won't fight the situation. Remember, Grosjean is coming from 17
:19:23. > :19:30.so he is just run to get into the top ten to score some solid points
:19:31. > :19:36.here. -- he is just trying. I think we have to look out with Grosjean on
:19:37. > :19:38.the option tyre. They say they won't guarantee the safety of the tyres
:19:39. > :19:46.beyond 15 laps. That is their advice. Unless they decide to push
:19:47. > :19:50.it outside that window. Another quick lap from Mark Webber. Let s
:19:51. > :19:58.take a look on board with Sebastian Vettel, as this was, I think, with
:19:59. > :20:05.Romain Grosjean. Yes, it was. He was the slowest of all on the speed
:20:06. > :20:09.rapping qualifying, Grosjean. We will add that the RS to Vettel and
:20:10. > :20:18.the fact that his car was quicker anyway. So, Gary, how is this
:20:19. > :20:23.working out as you see it? Not as I'd thought. A bit of traffic. The
:20:24. > :20:28.Sebastian Vettel to come in on the second lap, dropped to 17... And
:20:29. > :20:36.then Fernando Alonso at 19th the same time. Now Alonso was 14. It
:20:37. > :20:41.just shows, it is down to luck, commitment and a lot of things. But,
:20:42. > :20:46.at the end of the day, a fantastic race. Yes, use just siding his way
:20:47. > :20:59.through the traffic, Vettel. He seems to fly past them. And even
:21:00. > :21:03.then, that has helped his lap times. If you meet the cars at the right
:21:04. > :21:09.point in time, you can gain on lap time. That is part of it. But he has
:21:10. > :21:18.the lap time down. 24 seconds and he needs to be 21. I am afraid it looks
:21:19. > :21:24.like Vettel is the man. We don't have a crystal ball, but it looks
:21:25. > :21:30.like Vettel is on his way here. If he doesn't have any issues. You can
:21:31. > :21:35.just see Alonso has managed to get past Gutierrez, so he has dealt with
:21:36. > :21:42.that very quickly. We thought there might be more of a problem than
:21:43. > :21:50.that. Still tough. Grosjean will now try to get past Gutierrez. We will
:21:51. > :21:54.have to wait and see how that resolves itself. Jenson Button is
:21:55. > :22:02.down in 18th, having made two pit stops to everybody else's one.
:22:03. > :22:06.Gutierrez has managed to pass Alonso. I am sure we will see a
:22:07. > :22:13.replay of that any time soon. This is a nice little battle brewing up
:22:14. > :22:17.tween these two. Good rings Bob The rocky Mexican, who had that first
:22:18. > :22:29.points finish in Japan, dicing away with the double world champion now.
:22:30. > :22:38.-- good stuff. The rookie Mexican. And here comes Vettel, right behind
:22:39. > :22:46.-- good stuff. The rookie Mexican. Peres, -- right behind Sergio Perez.
:22:47. > :22:53.Looking at the constructor's points, Red Bull will certainly be
:22:54. > :22:58.on target. This is if things stay as they are. This could be double
:22:59. > :23:05.success for them here in India. He has to leave it quite late but just
:23:06. > :23:13.gets it done on the brakes. I doubt Sergio Perez will have any comeback.
:23:14. > :23:17.Sebastian Vettel, then, has got himself into second place already.
:23:18. > :23:21.We weren't expecting this. We thought dropping back into the
:23:22. > :23:26.traffic, it would take longer, but already on that 21 out of 60 he has
:23:27. > :23:30.only his team-mate up ahead, and, remember, Mark Webber still has to
:23:31. > :23:33.use those soft tyres at some point, whether it is in the middle or the
:23:34. > :23:40.end of the race. Probably more likely to see this at the end but he
:23:41. > :23:49.still has to use them. A reminder, Mark hasn't done a stop yet, and...
:23:50. > :23:54.And look at this! That is Alonso getting past Gutierrez! That is an
:23:55. > :24:01.unusual place to do it! A fantastic move and he well stay there. He had
:24:02. > :24:05.to be aggressive and we will see a replay of that. We will see whether
:24:06. > :24:15.Gutierrez was getting a bit defensive in the run-up to five
:24:16. > :24:27.This is into four. He cuts back .. No DIS in this zone. Gutierrez
:24:28. > :24:29.leaves just enough space. Do you think he saved all of his for this
:24:30. > :24:37.move? That his think he saved all of his for this
:24:38. > :24:43.Ferrari power, and you can't out power the
:24:44. > :24:46.Ferrari power, and you can't out strategic play. Very interesting to
:24:47. > :24:51.see if he has the same kind of pace and maybe he can get himself the
:24:52. > :24:56.same sort of position. The first pit stop for Mark Webber in this Grand
:24:57. > :24:59.Prix. He has put the soft tyre on so he has gone for a short stint now.
:25:00. > :25:09.They haven't left it until the end, which is what we thought they might
:25:10. > :25:17.do. Maybe five, seven laps. Well, space to get out into the clean
:25:18. > :25:23.air. As we speak, Perez has done his stop. Yes, and he has gone on to the
:25:24. > :25:33.soft tyre as well, so the same strategy for Sauber. Perez has gone
:25:34. > :25:36.out behind Hamilton. Just ahead of Hulkenberg. So there is Lewis
:25:37. > :25:42.Hamilton. We haven't seen him make his second pit stop yet. So, Rosberg
:25:43. > :25:44.coming in a bit earlier than Hamilton on this occasion and
:25:45. > :25:50.Hamilton just trying to close that gap up a bit to Felipe Massa. This
:25:51. > :25:54.bit of the race is all about how the car and drivers have looked after
:25:55. > :25:58.their tyres. Hamilton seems to have looked after his pretty well. This
:25:59. > :26:03.is Grosjean on Gutierrez a short while ago. A quick switch back and
:26:04. > :26:12.then the switch back the other way. The double dummy. How do you read
:26:13. > :26:19.that one, David? I read French man trying to overtake! Was the tarmac
:26:20. > :26:26.moving too much in front of Grosjean? My aisle was more on the
:26:27. > :26:35.car behind, so I will reserve judgement. -- my eye. It all depends
:26:36. > :26:37.on how much movement Gutierrez was doing in front of Romain Grosjean.
:26:38. > :26:41.He obviously doing in front of Romain Grosjean.
:26:42. > :26:45.Mark Webber back out in second place, having made his pit stop
:26:46. > :26:49.Sebastian Vettel leads the Indian Grand Prix as we reach the half
:26:50. > :26:53.distance point and he is driving you to be once again as he tries to
:26:54. > :26:59.complete this 100% record. -- he is driving beautifully. Goes to take
:27:00. > :27:04.his fourth world title. Looking good for the German driver now. His only
:27:05. > :27:08.opponent in the drivers' championship is Fernando Alonso who
:27:09. > :27:12.is down in 12th, and that won't do at all. Sebastian Vettel now will be
:27:13. > :27:17.coming in for his final pit stop and he will then take the medium
:27:18. > :27:23.compound tyre to the very end of this Grand Prix. And, crucially he
:27:24. > :27:28.has such a lead over Ricciardo, he will be able to get back out in
:27:29. > :27:32.second place after the pit stop And Webber will make his final pit stop
:27:33. > :27:36.very soon as well because he is on the soft tyre and won't be able to
:27:37. > :27:41.be out there very long. So we will get the full picture very soon.
:27:42. > :27:45.Vettel, of course, only a few laps when he was on the soft tyre at the
:27:46. > :27:53.start of the race but only did two laps and then came in. Last lap from
:27:54. > :27:58.Webber. Good one. It depends on the next one. Can he maintain the pace?
:27:59. > :28:02.It is unlikely based on everything we have seen in practice. Getting
:28:03. > :28:08.micro blisters at the end of the first lap and it only gets worse
:28:09. > :28:13.from there. This is Romain Grosjean. Let's see the move he made on
:28:14. > :28:18.Fernando Alonso. Sorry, Massa, I think. Just moving up into ninth
:28:19. > :28:22.position. Grosjean still going on this slightly different strategy,
:28:23. > :28:31.from the looks of things, after that long stint he did. And we can see
:28:32. > :28:33.Jenson Button... And then Alonso. But Button is going to come back at
:28:34. > :28:39.him! He cuts inside and does But Button is going to come back at
:28:40. > :28:45.the place. They are having fun. It didn't work
:28:46. > :28:50.the place. They are having fun. It there. Webber is in. He will swap
:28:51. > :28:55.those soft tyres, already making the change. Vettel has a ready gone
:28:56. > :29:00.past. He has got the lead of this Grand Prix. Webber comes out behind
:29:01. > :29:04.a bit of traffic as well. Just behind Daniel Ricciardo, and now a
:29:05. > :29:10.race to the end. But it is Vettel who is in front. Red Bull would have
:29:11. > :29:14.put that option tyre on for Mark Webber to get it out of the way You
:29:15. > :29:20.have to use both options in the race and to have a safety car come out,
:29:21. > :29:25.it would have marked him out in the first stop in a bad place. But now
:29:26. > :29:31.he is able to race to the end. There is confirmation, by the way. A
:29:32. > :29:36.massive advantage if it stays as it is, with Ferrari only taking up six
:29:37. > :29:40.and Massa in seventh. But things will change as we get to the latter
:29:41. > :29:47.part of the race. Ricciardo is chasing Felipe Massa. Bet he is
:29:48. > :29:56.looking forward to getting his hands on a Red Bull! He has done a good
:29:57. > :30:01.job, enough to impress the senior team. It was a chance of a lifetime
:30:02. > :30:10.to go up against the world champion and show what you are made of. Yes,
:30:11. > :30:15.every driver's dream. Looks like a retirement for Charles Pic. That
:30:16. > :30:21.means both Caterhams are out of the Grand Prix, because under guard was
:30:22. > :30:27.the first retirement. Radio macro we are investigating a serious issue on
:30:28. > :30:32.the car. At is a shame for Caterham. Doesn't look like there is
:30:33. > :30:43.any opportunity former Russia to gain on them --, Russia.
:30:44. > :30:47.any opportunity former Russia to and end up with that result for the
:30:48. > :30:50.any opportunity former Russia to team. We are on lap 40 out of 6 .
:30:51. > :30:54.Sebastian Vettel leads the Indian Grand Prix. He's got on the soft
:30:55. > :31:01.tyre and then thought maybe he was better on the hard tyre.
:31:02. > :31:07.RADIO: we have lost give box six. They run a seamless shift, which
:31:08. > :31:11.means if you are in third gate, they give box --" pre-select the fourth
:31:12. > :31:18.gear. When the driver pulled the paddle, get this acceleration..
:31:19. > :31:24.Webber is in trouble! It is all over. We heard that have been a
:31:25. > :31:30.problem, and he is out. The fans are rushing down to the fence to try and
:31:31. > :31:34.get a view of Mark Webber. The man who many people thought might take a
:31:35. > :31:39.victory today. In the constructors championship, it is a loss of points
:31:40. > :31:44.as well. We gather it is an alternator failure. We have not seen
:31:45. > :31:48.one of those this year. We have a problem for Vettel at the British
:31:49. > :31:52.Grand Prix, but it was last year that we really saw the alternator
:31:53. > :32:04.problems. Mark Webber is out of the Indian Grand Prix.
:32:05. > :32:10.RADIO: I am aware. Not much he can do about it. Vettel is leading this
:32:11. > :32:15.Grand Prix, and no longer is Webber in second. Sebastian was probably
:32:16. > :32:19.watching the television and seeing that Mark has pulled off. A
:32:20. > :32:25.disappointing finish from Mark Webber.
:32:26. > :32:33.RADIO: we need to stop the car, mate. I'm very sorry. Are you saying
:32:34. > :32:43.stop the car? Correct, stop the car. Pullover in a safe place. The same
:32:44. > :32:48.instruction came to Vettel last year. The reason for that is that
:32:49. > :32:52.the alternator, if it fails, the driving system can then mess up the
:32:53. > :32:57.rest of the engine. And these engines are used multiple times so
:32:58. > :33:02.they need to cut it very quickly. Let's hear from him.
:33:03. > :33:07.Mark, you sounded surprised when you were told to stop the car. Yeah
:33:08. > :33:14.there were problems with the gay box and I told the guys about that.
:33:15. > :33:18.--". And then I thought it would clear, but it came back. Were you
:33:19. > :33:25.disappointed to have to put the soft tyres on when you did? No. You have
:33:26. > :33:39.got to run them for a few laps, which we did. In the end, I still
:33:40. > :33:46.have a smile on my face. I couldn't do any more today. He does sound as
:33:47. > :33:48.though he will be heading out here quickly. But he put in good effort
:33:49. > :34:03.and should have been finishing second today. Interestingly, Rob
:34:04. > :34:08.Smedley at Ferrari has told Massa that they do need to go through
:34:09. > :34:21.RADIO: stop using the drinks bottle, please. Maybe it is draining the
:34:22. > :34:28.battery from the car. So Rosberg takes second place. Kimi Raikkonen,
:34:29. > :34:37.wonder if he is still trying to go all the way on this set of tyres.
:34:38. > :34:40.Tom, what have you got? I just asked that very question to one of the
:34:41. > :34:45.Pirelli engineers. Can Kimi Raikkonen get to the end of the race
:34:46. > :34:50.on those tires? His response was, Mamma Mia! Very nice!
:34:51. > :34:56.on those tires? His response was, nationality is he, then sarcasm
:34:57. > :35:05.This was the view from Kimi Raikkonen. Rosberg gets an easy
:35:06. > :35:12.pass. He will soon be under pressure from his team-mate, Romain Grosjean.
:35:13. > :35:18.He took 1.2 seconds out of Raikkonen last round. If Raikkonen makes a pit
:35:19. > :35:25.stop, he will drop write-down in the order, despite the gaps opening up
:35:26. > :35:33.in the top ten. Sebastian Vettel is very much on target towards winning
:35:34. > :35:46.the world championship. There is that opportunity to take six in a
:35:47. > :35:53.row. Fernando Alonso has worked out that he does not have the speed to
:35:54. > :36:00.effect a pass on Ricciardo. He tries to straighten the car as much as
:36:01. > :36:04.possible as they go towards five. Is anyone going to make a late pit
:36:05. > :36:09.stop? Looks as though they are going to try to go all the way to the end.
:36:10. > :36:17.Kimi Raikkonen is being caught by his team-mate, Romain Grosjean.
:36:18. > :36:25.Grosjean is still taking chunks out of him. Raikkonen is at the end of
:36:26. > :36:33.the life of those tires. If he stops, you will drop way down, as
:36:34. > :36:41.you say. He would be just behind Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg has a
:36:42. > :36:48.problem. Nico Hulkenberg started on the soft tyre.
:36:49. > :36:58.problem. Nico Hulkenberg started on him out of the top ten. That will
:36:59. > :37:05.promote Di Resta answer till. - and Adrian Sutil. Sebastian has just
:37:06. > :37:20.done the fastest lap of the Grand Prix. With the likes of Hulkenberg
:37:21. > :37:23.going out on a new set of soft tyres, he is likely to be faster
:37:24. > :37:29.than Vettel and maybe take the fastest lap. So Vettel must not
:37:30. > :37:37.worry about it. He has just got to race his own situation. He has a 27
:37:38. > :37:42.second lead over Rosberg. It is like Singapore, where he had a half
:37:43. > :37:47.minute lead. Looks like he will have a similar margin on this occasion as
:37:48. > :37:52.the race for third and fourth will be getting exciting soon. Adrian
:37:53. > :37:59.Sutil is under pressure from Ricciardo. This is for the last
:38:00. > :38:03.point this afternoon. You can see how close Alonso is. He has been
:38:04. > :38:12.trying to find a way past the Toro Rosso. Mixed emotions for Red Bull,
:38:13. > :38:17.but looks as though everything is going their way. There is some
:38:18. > :38:20.tension thereafter the problems for Mark Webber. We have heard that
:38:21. > :38:26.Vettel is having to look after the car. Here comes Sergio parades on
:38:27. > :38:34.Lewis Hamilton. They are racing for sixth position. -- Sergio Perez We
:38:35. > :38:40.have not seen McLaren go up against Mercedes much this year. This has
:38:41. > :38:45.got to be a boost for McLaren, to see Perez dicing with Hamilton. This
:38:46. > :38:49.is the form we were all expecting from Perez.
:38:50. > :38:57.is the form we were all expecting late in the season. Hulkenberg has
:38:58. > :39:03.come back in the pits. He has got a problem. You said on the radio that
:39:04. > :39:08.there was a problem with the floor. This is his second non-finish this
:39:09. > :39:13.year. He had a non-start at the beginning of the season in
:39:14. > :39:18.Australia. That is a shame. Still his best ever sequenced in Formula
:39:19. > :39:23.One, but it has come to an end, Tom 's I am in the Sauber garage, and
:39:24. > :39:28.when Hulkenberg made that last pit stop for the soft tyre, the team was
:39:29. > :39:34.not ready. The clearly, the problem was already a problem at that point.
:39:35. > :39:38.It is something to do with the underneath of the car. Grosjean is
:39:39. > :39:43.about to go past Raikkonen! They are wheel to wheel, and Grosjean sweeps
:39:44. > :39:48.around the outside, but he does it off track, and he gives up the
:39:49. > :39:56.place. He has learned his lesson from Hungary, when he went past
:39:57. > :40:06.Felipe, and he has let him back through. I am sure that has come as
:40:07. > :40:12.a shock to Kimi. Romain started in 17th place. I don't see how he can
:40:13. > :40:16.keep him behind for three more laps. Raikkonen is sending him off for the
:40:17. > :40:25.moment, but behind them, Felipe Massa is catching. And Kimi is
:40:26. > :40:30.moving out of the way, because Felipe Massa is the danger. They
:40:31. > :40:40.want to finish in front of the Ferrari. Lotus is catching Ferrari
:40:41. > :40:48.and Mercedes. Kimi Raikkonen's tyres have given up, but he has done some
:40:49. > :40:52.49 laps on this set of tyres, so Lotus's amble to go for one stop may
:40:53. > :41:01.not be working for Kimi, but it is working for Grosjean. I don't think
:41:02. > :41:04.Grosjean can complain too much. If you put yourself on the outside you
:41:05. > :41:10.have to accept that the car on the inside can squeeze his line. But
:41:11. > :41:20.Grosjean was very smart and let s Raikkonen back through. But in
:41:21. > :41:30.giving up that place, Raikkonen then lost position to Massa. This is the
:41:31. > :41:34.race for sixth position. Hamilton has reported that the tyres have
:41:35. > :41:39.given up on him, and he is fighting to stay in front of the McLaren
:41:40. > :41:45.This would not be McLaren's best finish of the year, but it is close
:41:46. > :41:52.to it. In China, they were using a similar type of tyre. McLaren are
:41:53. > :41:57.definitely having one of their better weekends of the season. Look
:41:58. > :42:05.how slow Raikkonen is going. He is going to be overtaken by both of
:42:06. > :42:09.these guys. We saw it in China. He rolled the dice and took a gamble
:42:10. > :42:16.with the tyres, and there was nothing left. So Lewis Hamilton gets
:42:17. > :42:26.past Kimi Raikkonen, or does he No, he doesn't. Perez has a think
:42:27. > :42:31.about it. This is strategic. That white line denotes where you get the
:42:32. > :42:38.activation in terms of one second window. Now, he will be able to
:42:39. > :42:42.evade his DRS. Here we go, side-by-side. Sergio Perez has got
:42:43. > :42:48.past Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen! Raikkonen still
:42:49. > :42:54.struggling on his tyres. We know Lewis Hamilton has run out of grip
:42:55. > :42:57.with his car. He will be on the outside. Very
:42:58. > :43:02.with his car. He will be on the Sergio Perez has moved into fifth
:43:03. > :43:09.place, matching McLaren's best result of the season so far if he
:43:10. > :43:20.can continue. Brilliant driving from all three. It was comical as they
:43:21. > :43:24.were coming out of turn one. Listening to some of the radio, we
:43:25. > :43:32.don't always get all of it. Apparently, Kimi Raikkonen's team
:43:33. > :43:36.were saying, get out of the BLEEP way. Kimi, back to the team. Don't
:43:37. > :43:42.shout! We might get a replay of that later. Up front, there is no doubt
:43:43. > :43:47.about who is leading the race and heading for victory once again. It
:43:48. > :43:52.is Sebastian Vettel. He has just done it all so perfectly. Kimi
:43:53. > :44:01.Raikkonen has come in to the pits, dropping further down. It is going
:44:02. > :44:12.to be very close between him and Di Resta.
:44:13. > :44:21.RADIO: you need to short shift as much as you can. He will end up
:44:22. > :44:26.losing performance to Massa. They are going into the last lap.
:44:27. > :44:34.Sebastian Vettel has dominated this race. The gap is up to 26 seconds.
:44:35. > :44:38.Nico Rosberg running solidly in second, way ahead of Romain
:44:39. > :44:44.Grosjean, but what a run by Grosjean to come up from 17th place, and to
:44:45. > :44:50.do it on one stop, which no one ought was possible. Yet Lotus have
:44:51. > :44:56.managed it. It did not work for Raikkonen, but Raikkonen has come in
:44:57. > :45:03.front of Di Resta. He is in seventh place. Both cars are trying a risky
:45:04. > :45:11.strategy. Sebastian Vettel has once again beaten them all. Eight
:45:12. > :45:15.dominant display, whether he is your cup of tea or not. No question he
:45:16. > :45:22.has used the machinery at his disposal to full effect. Just
:45:23. > :45:26.looking back on track, by the way. Paul Di Resta has the good tyres on
:45:27. > :45:30.so he should be able to stay where he is. Sebastian Vettel has just
:45:31. > :45:34.half a lap to do now to complete it. Rosberg, who started on the
:45:35. > :45:39.front row with him, let's not forget, you was some 20 seconds
:45:40. > :45:46.behind and that is the margin of Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel's
:45:47. > :45:52.Daugherty. -- he was. -- Sebastian Vettel's authority. This is going to
:45:53. > :45:58.be his fourth Grand Prix in a row! He is the 2013 world champion! He
:45:59. > :46:02.takes three out of three wins in India. An absolutely remarkable
:46:03. > :46:08.record! And he has delivered in style! He has won it from the front.
:46:09. > :46:14.His 10th win of 2013 as well. Double the number of victories he had in
:46:15. > :46:20.2012. Well, of course, you also won the title. Sebastian Vettel has
:46:21. > :46:24.achieved his goal once more. -- he also won. A solid try from Nico
:46:25. > :46:30.Rosberg but just showing you the difference in pace between them
:46:31. > :46:32.Third place, we think it will be Romain Grosjean, and that is going
:46:33. > :46:43.to be a fabulous performance as well. He has just crossed the line.
:46:44. > :46:48.Massive finishes. -- Massa finishes fourth. But Sebastian Vettel. Well,
:46:49. > :46:51.he was the youngest ever world champion three years ago when he was
:46:52. > :46:58.23. But the boy wonder of 2010 champion three years ago when he was
:46:59. > :47:01.become the man for four seasons Unbelievable what he has achieved,
:47:02. > :47:08.and he has joined such an incredibly select group! You have done it in
:47:09. > :47:15.style. You are a four-time world champion. You join the greats! Well
:47:16. > :47:20.done! They have been in this situation before but that release of
:47:21. > :47:25.tension, wonderful scenes in the Red Bull pit Garrard. Let's not forget,
:47:26. > :47:29.this is an Austrian owned team but very much British engineering that
:47:30. > :47:39.has taken success once again. And the Milton Keynes -based outfit Red
:47:40. > :47:45.Bull has taken another victory. He is going to enjoy himself and he
:47:46. > :47:56.executes some perfect doughnuts in a cloud of smoke! -- perfect go-nuts!
:47:57. > :48:01.He is surely a superhero because he has won every Grand Prix we have had
:48:02. > :48:05.here! We are definitely not coming back next season. Some say we might
:48:06. > :48:13.be back in the future. But, whatever. He has taken all three
:48:14. > :48:20.wins as he gives praise to his car. Adrian New Year 's genius. The whole
:48:21. > :48:27.team have put such hard work in -- Adrian knew of his genius. It has
:48:28. > :48:34.confounded the other teams. I'm sure the T-shirts are already there. Four
:48:35. > :48:39.for Vettel. And he has the Roman numerals to do that. So, a
:48:40. > :48:44.remarkable race, a brilliant victory once more by Sebastian Vettel! And a
:48:45. > :48:49.time to enjoy before the final three races of the season. And, indeed, he
:48:50. > :48:54.gets hoisted aloft by Nico Rosberg and Romain Grosjean.
:48:55. > :49:09.So, to confirm today's race and Romain Grosjean.
:49:10. > :49:12.Grosjean shared the podium with him. In turns of the drivers
:49:13. > :49:23.championship, that belongs to Sebastian Vettel. Look at that. Paul
:49:24. > :49:28.Di Resta has made it into the top ten. In turns of the constructors
:49:29. > :49:32.championship, web log champions yet again, but look at the battle for
:49:33. > :49:39.second place. Mercedes leapfrog Ferrari. After all the PR
:49:40. > :49:43.commitment, Sebastian Vettel went down to his Garrard to celebrate,
:49:44. > :49:54.and fantastic scenes in front of the red wool pit. -- down to his garaged
:49:55. > :49:59.to celebrate, and fantastic scenes in front of the Red Bull pit.
:50:00. > :50:05.When you started go-karting all those years ago, did you ever dream
:50:06. > :50:12.of being a four-time world champion or Formula One champion? I think my
:50:13. > :50:17.brain capacity was way too small at the time and my head was very small!
:50:18. > :50:23.It was crazy! When started watching Formula One properly, there were
:50:24. > :50:32.guys like Jenson, Fernando already racing. And even Mark. On the TV...
:50:33. > :50:36.You know. The dream was there but identity even dare to dream about
:50:37. > :50:41.it. To be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Schumacher and
:50:42. > :50:47.others, what does that mean to you? Can you put it into words? Not
:50:48. > :50:52.really. Across the line. You could argue, you could see that one
:50:53. > :50:56.coming, but, you know, as a team, we have been very disciplined. In a
:50:57. > :50:58.way, we didn't allow ourselves to drift
:50:59. > :51:01.way, we didn't allow ourselves to about the championship. We try
:51:02. > :51:12.relieve focus on the moment. And take it step-by-step. Because it is
:51:13. > :51:15.a huge threat. You win and you try to win again but you lose focus
:51:16. > :51:23.because everybody taps your shoulder and says, you are so great, Ewing --
:51:24. > :51:27.you are doing so well, blah, blah, blah. But the team managed to do it
:51:28. > :51:34.and I think we can be very proud of that but it is very difficult to
:51:35. > :51:40.grasp. I could go on and on and on, but you can't... Put it into words.
:51:41. > :51:48.In that moment. Nico, a very strong driver today, though not much you
:51:49. > :51:56.could do with that guy out in front. But a great race. For once, a normal
:51:57. > :52:05.weekend where everything went properly, so second place. The
:52:06. > :52:09.strategy didn't work and I think we all agree to be very brave today,
:52:10. > :52:14.this morning. The soft tyres were better than we thought at the
:52:15. > :52:20.beginning of the race. Getting a few more laps might have been a key at
:52:21. > :52:23.the end of the race but the car was back to the way we had it on Friday
:52:24. > :52:29.and that was good. So a very good race. And then Gutierrez and with my
:52:30. > :52:38.team-mate. But, nevertheless, we are on the podium. Was it tougher than
:52:39. > :52:45.you thought out there? I think so. Where did you struggle? The pit
:52:46. > :52:54.stop. It was so hard to get past the Ferrari. A bit unfortunate. But a
:52:55. > :52:59.lot more races ahead of us. A tough day. I think you saw the pit lane as
:53:00. > :53:03.much as the circuit. Yes, it was a shame. A shame we couldn't get two
:53:04. > :53:08.cars in with the points but that shame. A shame we couldn't get two
:53:09. > :53:15.the way it is sometimes. Where did you struggle out there? I got hit on
:53:16. > :53:20.the first lap. Which is quite hard. In the side by Fernando. And I got a
:53:21. > :53:26.puncture from it. Is that why you came in early? Yes. And the problem
:53:27. > :53:34.is, I was on the medium tyre, which is the one you need to run long so
:53:35. > :53:41.it destroyed that. We took quite a tough strategy on that one. But in
:53:42. > :53:47.the end, three valuable points for the team. I don't know what happened
:53:48. > :53:51.to Nico. He was coming into the pits behind me. But we have done all we
:53:52. > :53:58.could and with a damage limitation, going away, getting points on both
:53:59. > :54:03.cars with a week to recover and hopefully heading out a bit
:54:04. > :54:12.stronger. So, Sebastian Vettel making history. He just did it all
:54:13. > :54:16.right, didn't he? By the time he had worked his way forward, over to the
:54:17. > :54:21.front runners, he was still within a pit stop of them, so this was a
:54:22. > :54:26.re-dominant display. Up there with Singapore for me. -- this was a
:54:27. > :54:32.really dominant display. The three races we have had here, this being
:54:33. > :54:38.the third, you has won all three. He has had pole position in all three.
