Q1 was fiery for some drivers with Gutierrez's are catching fire and on

track, Jean-Eric Vergne came to Gutierrez's are catching fire and on

:02:01.:02:10.

fiery halt. Fernando Alonso needed a good qualifying to stay close to

:02:10.:02:14.

Sebastian Vettel in the race. He could only manage a place. Felipe

:02:14.:02:22.

Massa starts in fifth place. Lewis Hamilton knew would be difficult to

:02:22.:02:27.

beat Red Bull and he was right, Q3, Sebastian Vettel failed. Mark

:02:27.:02:38.

Webber put in an impressive early bed and as everyone crossed the

:02:38.:02:41.

line, it was only Mark Webber who Sebastian Vettel is a qualified

:02:41.:02:53.

line, it was only Mark Webber who team-mate, Hamilton is third. Felipe

:02:53.:02:55.

Massa and Rosberg run the fourth rule and Hulkenberg outqualifies

:02:55.:03:01.

Fernando Alonso. Paul di Resta is the highest placed Force India.

:03:01.:03:06.

Valtteri Bottas outqualifies Pastor Maldonado for the ninth time. Jules

gearbox change for Adrian Sutil means he will trail the others as

Japanese Grand Prix. Light side means he will trail the others as

:03:27.:03:36.

away we go. Webber and Sebastian means he will trail the others as

:03:36.:03:41.

Vettel side-by-side. Romain Grosjean leads into the first corner! There

:03:41.:04:08.

Hamilton. He is in trouble. It is hard to get the safety car in. That

:04:08.:04:21.

TEAM RADIO: Potential front wing damage. Potential damage they are

:04:21.:04:32.

with Sebastian Vettel. Max Chilton is still going and Romain Grosjean

:04:32.:04:37.

is leading. He had the yellow flag but no sign of any safety car.

:04:37.:04:44.

Sebastian Vettel is in third place. Another great start from Fernando

:04:44.:04:49.

Alonso. He has moved up. Hulkenberg is in seventh place, which is where

:04:49.:04:58.

he started. Gutierrez has also gained some places. He is in ninth

:04:58.:05:06.

place. Jenson Button in 10th base. BDO macro initially, it looks OK.

:05:06.:05:21.

But as a dream start for Romain Grosjean. He had that incident on

:05:22.:05:25.

the second corner last year but Grosjean. He had that incident on

:05:25.:05:30.

had very quick pace on Friday. This is an opportunity to win this grand

:05:30.:05:34.

prix. We have a long way to go but he is in the currency. This is the

:05:34.:05:44.

drive-through penalty for Charles Pic, he went out on the red light.

:05:44.:05:48.

And Mercedes, that is a puncture. Lewis Hamilton. That was because of

:05:48.:05:53.

wing. We can see there was damage Lewis Hamilton. That was because of

:05:53.:06:01.

done at the exit of the second and will be difficult to score

year and there were seven incidents on that first lacklustre. Tom is in

:06:15.:06:18.

happened last year for Mark Webber, on that first lacklustre. Tom is in

:06:18.:06:37.

happened last year for Mark Webber, Lewis Hamilton is on prime tyres,

:06:37.:06:39.

can he get to the end with one pit stop? Let us wait and see. That

:06:39.:06:49.

can he get to the end with one pit Frenchman, Romain Grosjean. Lots of

:06:49.:06:51.

incidents last year but for the first time, he leads the grand prix

:06:51.:07:00.

at the end of the first lap. Maybe he has put all of those difficult

:07:00.:07:06.

starts from master behind him. Nico Rosberg had a very good start,

:07:06.:07:14.

challenge from Jenson Button. They struggle to remove that car. We

:07:14.:07:18.

challenge from Jenson Button. They see the replay. The initial getaway,

:07:18.:07:23.

they are lunching at the of the field. You can see Romain Grosjean

:07:23.:07:30.

launching up the inside, amazing Hamilton. They already had made

:07:30.:07:38.

launching up the inside, amazing touch and then resell Caterham and

:07:38.:07:45.

Marussia. On-board with Romain Grosjean. We believe the contact

:07:45.:07:51.

happened before even the end of Grosjean. We believe the contact

:07:51.:07:56.

pit lane. That would explain why it already. This is where it went

:07:56.:07:59.

wrong. He cuts across. Hamilton already. This is where it went

:07:59.:08:07.

the front wing of Sebastian Vettel. On-board from Hamilton. He tries to

:08:07.:08:19.

and Kimi Raikkonen last year. This already happened. Racing incident, I

:08:19.:08:55.

and Kimi Raikkonen last year. This to struggle. Out of the race, Giedo

:08:55.:09:06.

Romain Grosjean is doing a very TEAM RADIO: Drop back to save your

:09:06.:09:15.

tyres. We have seen this on other tracks. As you slide around in the

:09:15.:09:21.

wake of another car, it puts lots of stress on your tyres and it can

:09:21.:09:25.

wake of another car, it puts lots of beneficial to just hang back in

:09:25.:09:28.

wake of another car, it puts lots of early stages. Another fastest lap

:09:28.:09:30.

from Romain Grosjean, the sort of quality that Lotus are convinced

:09:30.:09:38.

they have with this Frenchman. Here comes Kimi Raikkonen. His DRS is

:09:38.:09:44.

open. And Daniel Ricciardo does likewise, getting past Valtteri

:09:44.:09:51.

Bottas. The image of Mark Webber, he was drifting already. It was like a

:09:51.:09:57.

rally car. Desperately trying to keep within one second. He did have

:09:57.:10:04.

DRS on the last lap. Kimi Raikkonen really hooks that up. Gets his DRS

:10:04.:10:09.

open. Nothing that Jenson Button could do. As Kimi Raikkonen adjusts

:10:09.:10:16.

his neck balance. We have some pit stops coming up. Mercedes into the

:10:16.:10:24.

Struggling with downforce. And we also understand the result problem

:10:24.:10:30.

with Jenson Button. Very poor day for Lewis Hamilton. That was just a

:10:30.:10:38.

else. Presumably the rear tyre has damaged the floor and we know how

:10:38.:10:44.

important the rear tyre is. We can see one of those McLaren cars coming

:10:44.:10:52.

stops would be more likely if they are doing a pit stop after just

:10:52.:11:29.

stops would be more likely if they mistake from Nico Rosberg. Ferrari

on his tail. Extremely wide through the first part of turn number one.

:11:34.:11:36.

damage. His first non-finish of the first part of turn number one.

:11:37.:11:45.

year. He has had a very good run up until I in terms of reliability

:11:45.:11:48.

year. He has had a very good run up that has come to an end for Lewis

:11:48.:11:49.

Hamilton. On-board with Sebastian Vettel. Sebastian Vettel has been

:11:49.:11:59.

catching Mark Webber just a little bit. But still, Romain Grosjean

:11:59.:12:11.

Red Bull are managing this and dropping back? If they run to close

:12:11.:12:19.

that will affect their tyres. Romain Grosjean has given Red Bull their

:12:19.:12:28.

own you might say. He was also asked to save some fuel. And Mark Webber

:12:28.:12:37.

has come into the pit lane. The first Red Bull. That normally gives

:12:37.:12:41.

priority over his team-mate. He first Red Bull. That normally gives

:12:41.:12:49.

gone all the way to lap 12. To stop territory with Red Bull? On the

:12:49.:12:56.

harder tyres, they have to look laps left to do. You have to look

:12:56.:13:08.

after them. Kimi Raikkonen has also traffic. That is Gutierrez. And

:13:08.:13:21.

after them. Kimi Raikkonen has also Jenson Button. He made that earlier

:13:21.:13:25.

terms of getting out in front of the fastest lap but came up short in

:13:25.:13:33.

space to work in. Trying to pick up that Lotus. Kimi Raikkonen has

:13:33.:13:50.

space to work in. Trying to pick up Sebastian Vettel. The gap between

:13:50.:13:52.

Grosjean and Sebastian Vettel is 4.4 seconds. Will Grosjean respond to

:13:52.:14:01.

that stop? Those tyres will have burned off. He is heading in? Yes,

:14:01.:14:09.

there he is. Sebastian Vettel, he stays out. He goes further into

:14:09.:14:15.

this. Romain Grosjean does not want to be beaten by Mark Webber on this

:14:15.:14:19.

first round of pit stops. Mark Webber has set the fastest middle

:14:19.:14:28.

sector. It will be very tight. There is Marc Webber on the right-hand

:14:28.:14:29.

side of your shot. It will be a is Marc Webber on the right-hand

:14:29.:14:39.

race Dent to turn one. Sebastian Webber will have the advantage of

:14:39.:14:45.

knowing how the car is performing with this fuel load. The gap to

:14:45.:14:53.

Grosjean is just too far to make up on this lap and get himself into the

:14:53.:15:01.

PRS wrote -- into the PRS on. He will be hearing from the stewards.

:15:01.:15:06.

There is no way that he should have been released there. It is a good

:15:06.:15:09.

reaction from Perez. Alonso has been released there. It is a good

:15:09.:15:15.

out ahead of Hulkenberg and Felipe Massa. Those are the guys he is

:15:15.:15:23.

racing against. Growth gene is also on. It is a big change around. Where

:15:24.:15:31.

does he come back out, relative on. It is a big change around. Where

:15:31.:15:38.

question. Gutierrez is real to on. It is a big change around. Where

:15:38.:15:46.

11th place. That is Sergio Perez. on. It is a big change around. Where

:15:46.:15:50.

Sebastian Vettel has to come in on. It is a big change around. Where

:15:50.:15:57.

this lap. He is not under pressure from Rosberg. Alonso has come out

:15:57.:16:10.

this lap. He is not under pressure Alonso losing out with the leak

:16:11.:16:16.

this lap. He is not under pressure with the letter pit stop. It is

:16:16.:16:17.

this lap. He is not under pressure likely that Rosberg will get the

:16:17.:16:22.

penalty. Perez making use of the fresh tyres, he cuts to the inside.

:16:22.:16:27.

It looks like Jenson had to be defensive of the chicane. We have

:16:27.:16:33.

seen them side-by-side couple of times this year. That was all good

:16:33.:16:41.

and clean. Read below getting ready for Sebastian Vettel. Here he comes.

:16:42.:16:47.

There may be playing the longer game, a couple of extra laps on

:16:47.:16:56.

position. That was a lovely stop. Webber goes through. He comes back

:16:56.:17:06.

out. He is ahead of Ricciardo. Grosjean is ahead of both of them.

:17:06.:17:11.

He has the new fastest lap 20 is established himself at the head

:17:11.:17:18.

He has the new fastest lap 20 is the race. That was a lock-up from

:17:18.:17:18.

Sebastian Vettel before he came the race. That was a lock-up from

:17:18.:17:22.

That is the sort of thing that they need to try and avoid. This is him

:17:22.:17:28.

running down to the speed limit line, really pushing to try and

:17:28.:17:32.

running down to the speed limit every last little bit of time out of

those tyres. Alonso was flying up to are all being held up I Ricciardo on

activated again. -- DRS. Here comes gifted dad to Alonso. By going

defensively into the chicane, he compromised his exit line. They

:18:43.:19:00.

defensively into the chicane, he Ricciardo. Gutierrez and Raikkonen

:19:00.:19:08.

have caught the group. Button is still an 11th place. Nico Rosberg

:19:08.:19:16.

Ricciardo is struggling on these tyres. He has gone a long way into

:19:16.:19:23.

this Grand Prix. It is a good job in many respects that he has been able

:19:23.:19:25.

to take the tyre this fire. The many respects that he has been able

:19:25.:19:30.

Rossos have been struggling for many respects that he has been able

:19:30.:19:41.

this weekend. Hulkenberg coming many respects that he has been able

:19:41.:19:52.

towards 130 hour. -- up towards alongside his team-mate. He just got

:19:52.:20:03.

out of it. Alonso had to back out of nearly saw the two Ferraris making

:20:03.:20:19.

contact with each other. They nearly did the same in South Korea. Let's

been doing has allowed the leading three cars to open a 22nd gap.

:20:33.:20:46.

been doing has allowed the leading This is brave stuff. A round of

:20:46.:20:56.

Gutierrez, the Mexican, he is going for it. They are still side-by-side.

:20:56.:21:09.

Gutierrez, the Mexican, he is going Gutierrez will have the inside lane

:21:09.:21:12.

for the next corner. I think Massa has got back in front. Great stuff.

:21:12.:21:23.

Gutierrez, a nice tidy move. Now he is under pressure from Raikkonen

:21:23.:21:27.

behind. Is he going to go down the outside? We saw Alonso do this to

:21:27.:21:34.

Schumacher a few years ago. He's going to get passed by the McLaren,

:21:34.:21:41.

Perez. Watch Sergio Perez position his car for best traction. It looks

:21:41.:21:45.

like Gutierrez may drop another well-positioned. No doubt about

:21:45.:21:55.

like Gutierrez may drop another They are side-by-side, but he cannot

:21:55.:21:59.

do it. They held on that time. It looked like the chain reaction of

:22:25.:22:31.

tyres. That is contact as they come out of the hairpin. This is Ferrari

against Ferrari power, but different corner. It looked like he ran wide.

Incomes Webber. Webber is in from corner. It looked like he ran wide.

the tyre. What about the other two, doing a two stop race? It may well

:23:30.:23:35.

be that Grosjean and Sebastian Vettel can get by on two stops.

:23:35.:23:44.

be that Grosjean and Sebastian is very difficult to know. The tyre

:23:44.:23:50.

grips are falling away from Webber. Sebastian Vettel is still trying to

seconds in the first sector. It with, that is Max Chilton. Incomes

:24:07.:24:14.

Grosjean. This is a big pressure point for the Lotus team. Webber has

:24:14.:24:19.

been consistently quicker over the last couple of laps. Webber is

:24:19.:24:25.

coming out of the chicane. I think you may have done enough. There

:24:25.:24:35.

coming out of the chicane. I think is, Webber has jumped in. He has,

:24:35.:24:45.

is the big question. Grosjean has to achievable. It should be achievable,

:24:45.:24:53.

edition, he can back off and start saving some of the tyres. The safety

:24:53.:25:08.

car would help him? Yes, it would. Web is going to do three pit stops

not over yet, keep pushing, made. chances? It is a reflection of the

:25:30.:25:31.

fact that they are expecting him to come in again. You can see the slow

motion of the front tyre vibrating. come in again. You can see the slow

:25:39.:25:51.

front of Grosjean. Raikkonen is suddenly going very quickly. He

front of Grosjean. Raikkonen is catching Fernando Alonso. Looking at

:26:13.:26:14.

how the speed work site, Webber catching Fernando Alonso. Looking at

:26:14.:26:19.

on fresh tyres. His tyres have done ten laps as opposed to the 21 laps

:26:19.:26:24.

of his team-mates. You would expect Webber to be quicker at this stage

:26:24.:26:26.

in the Grand Prix. Sure enough, Webber to be quicker at this stage

:26:26.:26:32.

is closing the gap and setting sectors. This is the cam in the

:26:32.:26:37.

is closing the gap and setting when everything is beginning to

:26:37.:26:37.

resolve itself. We're wondering when everything is beginning to

:26:37.:26:43.

much further Sebastian Vettel will go on the set of tyres. His next pit

:26:43.:26:53.

stop is got to be within the next couple of laps. Looking at the

:26:53.:27:07.

Mercedes scoring six. Motors are likely to score 23 points. That

:27:07.:27:12.

would bring them into the territory of fighting for second overall in

:27:12.:27:17.

the constructors' points. That will championship. Niki Lauda has stated

damaged was your car? Enough to Lewis Hamilton went out at the start

wise we deserve better. It looked feel bad for my guys. They have

wise we deserve better. It looked preparing for Sebastian Vettel's

:28:16.:28:22.

stop. He is in. Where will he come out? This is the crucial moment

:28:22.:28:26.

stop. He is in. Where will he come the Grand Prix. I suspect he will be

behind. Grosjean is parsing error box. There is Sebastian Vettel.

:28:29.:28:36.

behind. Grosjean is parsing error he got the pace in the car with

:28:36.:28:40.

behind. Grosjean is parsing error harder tyres? Yes, I'm sure he

:28:40.:28:43.

prefers the harder tyres. He has gone for the harder compound. That

:28:43.:28:54.

is a new set of tyres. Letters keep TEAM RADIO: Go and get him! Go

:28:54.:29:07.

racing! He should not need to worry about looking after those tyres

:29:07.:29:13.

racing! He should not need to worry Sebastian Vettel has the art of

:29:13.:29:14.

getting the best out of his Pirelli tyres, keeping them alive. We have a

:29:14.:29:24.

race on our hands here. On-board Gutierrez gets passed Jean-Eric

:29:24.:29:40.

Vergne. That is an opportunity for him to score his first ever World

:29:40.:29:44.

Championship points. But there are still some way to go in this grand

:29:44.:29:53.

prix. That was fair. You are not allowed to make a double move.

:29:53.:29:56.

prix. That was fair. You are not Esteban Gutierrez comes out of that

:29:56.:29:59.

slipstream. Although it was a little bit closer than you would like to

see at 190 mph, they get away with that. Turn number one, but the

that Fernando Alonso catching Max that. Turn number one, but the

another pit stop relativism. Gary? far. Mark Webber still reading this

:30:30.:30:43.

another pit stop relativism. Gary? He will have to make another. On his

:30:43.:30:44.

second stop he had done 13 laps He will have to make another. On his

:30:44.:30:47.

the set of hard tyres and Romain Grosjean had done 16 and Sebastian

:30:47.:30:50.

Vettel had 22. It looks like he Grosjean had done 16 and Sebastian

:30:50.:30:56.

able to look after his tyres. He would have to be 28 laps, Grosjean

:30:56.:31:03.

24. They would really have to stop another time. Very fast laps for

Sebastian Vettel on those sector TEAM RADIO: Good stuff, keep it

going! They want to get first and second. If they possibly can. Romain

Grosjean has driven so well in this race. But look how much closer

:31:28.:31:31.

Fernando Alonso in fifth place. race. But look how much closer

:31:31.:31:40.

the Sebastian Vettel won this race, Fernando Alonso is doing enough

:31:40.:31:46.

the Sebastian Vettel won this race, Championship but, Gary, look at

:31:46.:31:48.

Sebastian Vettel. Getting closer and closer. Those fresh tyres give you

:31:48.:31:54.

so much confidence and he only has to do 16 laps on the set of tyres.

:31:54.:32:02.

TEAM RADIO: You will come under pressure from Mark Webber so make

:32:02.:32:07.

sure you have some tyres left. Both Red Bull cars will be fighting

:32:07.:32:10.

things out for the end of the grand prix. I'm sure that Sebastian Vettel

:32:10.:32:16.

will be aware of that. Can you see any major changes further down?

:32:16.:32:23.

will be aware of that. Can you see major part in the back for that

:32:23.:32:25.

will be aware of that. Can you see from Nico Hulkenberg, holding off

:32:25.:32:32.

Kimi Raikkonen is right on the tail of Fernando Alonso. This is the

:32:32.:32:46.

Kimi Raikkonen is right on the tail is for second place because the

:32:46.:32:48.

Kimi Raikkonen is right on the tail behind Mark Webber at this point.

:32:48.:32:50.

ahead. Still putting in those quick Mark Webber has done 14 seconds

:32:50.:32:58.

ahead. Still putting in those quick still could make that pit stop.

:32:58.:33:03.

ahead. Still putting in those quick at this! Romain Grosjean! He holds

:33:03.:33:04.

the middle ground. And he was surely at this! Romain Grosjean! He holds

:33:04.:33:14.

the middle ground. And he was surely have the DRS zone available. Here we

:33:14.:33:16.

go, Sebastian Vettel gets past Romain Grosjean, passed him down

:33:16.:33:23.

this pit straight. He majored he got that place and he gets past Romain

:33:23.:33:27.

Grosjean. There might be some damage to the car, he mentioned his front

:33:27.:33:33.

wing. That little hit with Hamilton. Do we need any more confirmation

:33:33.:33:37.

that he can raise? See what Mark Webber can do. He was 15 seconds

working on this lap. He still did not manage to close the gap as much

Grosjean tries to catch up with TEAM RADIO: Get past Sergio Perez.

:42:53.:43:05.

He needs to turn down his engine performance. Grosjean will get DRS.

:43:05.:43:11.

It will be difficult for Mark Webber to make any headway. Valtteri Bottas

:43:11.:43:20.

is fighting with Jean-Eric Vergne. He gets past Maldonado. And Mark

:43:20.:43:28.

squeezes down the inside. That is so tight. He was giving him room. But

:43:28.:43:37.

is seriously running out of laps in which to take second place. We can

Raikkonen and Hulkenberg. Nico Hulkenberg locking up. This might

give him a chance. Sauber have got great attraction. Click out of that

:43:57.:44:02.

fifth place. Kimi Raikkonen cannot do it. He is simply not fast enough.

:44:02.:44:10.

The amount of drag on that car, downforce is a wonderful thing but

:44:10.:44:23.

Bottas. Wheel to wheel. Another chance to get second place. Again,

:44:23.:44:29.

it does not come. And again, Romain Grosjean is driving perfectly. He

one, two. But they have been made to work extremely hard, thanks to the

:45:11.:45:27.

exploits of Romain Grosjean. This is what I was saying earlier, he goes

:45:27.:45:33.

to the inside. Grosjean goes towards the pit wall, but he gives him an

:45:33.:45:37.

offer in. In the end, the pace of the Red Bull is too much. The other

:45:37.:45:45.

Lotus is up in the points as well. Kimi Raikkonen is currently in fifth

:45:45.:45:52.

place. He got past Hulkenberg. Let's see how that move was executed,

:45:52.:45:56.

round the outside into the chicane. I have never seen that as -- before.

That was a great move by Raikkonen. We have heard that Nico Rosberg

Raikkonen move, what makes it brave is that when you force yourself

around the outside, you are at the commitment and he got the reward.

around the outside, you are at the Nico Rosberg is still trying to

around the outside, you are at the Alonso, by the way. We will keep and

:47:36.:47:40.

I own that. Raikkonen was a lot quicker on the last lap. -- keep an

:47:40.:47:53.

eye on that. Here comes Sebastian Vettel, and once again, Suzuka is

:47:53.:47:58.

his circuit. He will come through to take the chequered flag. Sebastian

:47:58.:48:05.

Vettel wins in Japan! It is his ninth victory of the season and

Vettel wins in Japan! It is his fourth win in five years around

Vettel wins in Japan! It is his track. Mark Webber finishes in

second place, it is a 1-2-mac for Red Bull. -- one-two for Red Bull. I

:48:15.:48:34.

do not think that Raikkonen is close enough to challenge. Unless he cuts

:48:56.:49:01.

are waiting for Gutierrez to come through. I think he is still ahead.

Yes, the Mexican is going to score his first-ever points in Formula

place, many congratulations to him. seven. It is only the second time

:49:22.:49:25.

this year that we have seemed red wool cards in first and second

:49:25.:49:26.

To confirm the race result, it was wool cards in first and second

:49:26.:49:47.

To confirm the race result, it was in third place. Gutierrez taking his

:49:47.:49:47.

first-ever points in Formula One. In in third place. Gutierrez taking his

:49:47.:50:01.

first-ever points in Formula One. In point lead over Fernando Alonso

:50:01.:50:04.

which means that a top five finish will clinch his fourth title. This

:50:04.:50:10.

is the constructors' championship. The difference is 148 points, so it

:50:10.:50:15.

looks like it will be a fourth title for Red Bull as a team. Ferrari

:50:15.:50:19.

looks like it will be a fourth title second with Mercedes in third. Let's

hear from the We learned a lot in 2011. We were keen in staying in

ourselves in third. We were lapping out of the pits for the final, I had

:50:44.:50:51.

traction. I managed to get past Grosjean, and after that, the only

:50:51.:50:56.

threat was Mark Webber, who got stuck a little bit behind Grosjean.

:50:56.:51:01.

We could manage the gap until the end of the race. Even after my first

:51:01.:51:06.

stop, I was weighed it was going to be two stops. The guys said that two

:51:06.:51:13.

stops were fine. In the middle of that, we changed tactics. That was

:51:13.:51:20.

it. It was a bit surprising. I asked the guys, are you sure this is going

:51:20.:51:24.

to be right, three stops? And they said, yes, it will be. When they say

:51:24.:51:30.

that, you have got to make it work and go for it. In the end, we line

:51:30.:51:33.

out of rat -- we ran out of laps. and go for it. In the end, we line

:51:33.:51:44.

impressive start? Yes, that was car could just pull away, but my

Never mind, we never thought we you got past? Yes, the traffic was

the point of the race, I was always behind someone, but to be honest,

:52:25.:52:32.

the top three were too strong. Even without the traffic, the podium

positions were settled. The Red Bulls were quicker than us. Fourth

and I had a good move with Paul wrong thing to do, I had so much

Resta around the outside of the chicane, and also Felipe Massa tried

to do the same, but he forced me over the kerb. It was a good end to

not enough laps for Mark Webber today? We all felt for him, having

superb. Yes, it was great that he kept it together. He had contact

:54:06.:54:09.

with Hamilton in the first corner, but he was able to push when he

needed to. Grosjean's car was not as but he was able to push when he

In the last two races, he has shown that he is worthy of his seat in
