:01:11. > :01:19.Hello and welcome to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix. The sun is
:01:19. > :01:25.shining and it is a perfect day for racing. This is round five of 19.
:01:25. > :01:31.In a few weeks we will be in Monaco for the next grand-prix. Brazil
:01:31. > :01:41.will close the show in November. Still a long way to go until
:01:41. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :01:59.Constructors' Championship. All of race action for you in a moment.
:01:59. > :02:04.First, the story of qualifying. McLaren came to Spain hoping
:02:04. > :02:12.upgrades to get them back on track. Jenson Button had his worst
:02:12. > :02:19.qualifying of the season. His less experienced team-mate, Sergio Perez,
:02:19. > :02:25.managed his best qualifying. Filipe Massa received a three place grid
:02:25. > :02:32.penalty. Fernando Alonso could only manage 5th in front of home fans.
:02:32. > :02:36.Sebastian Vettel has never taken pole position. Not this year either.
:02:36. > :02:42.Mercedes dominated qualifying again and got their hat-trick of pole
:02:42. > :02:47.positions, thanks to a great lap from Nico Rosberg. Lewis Hamilton
:02:47. > :02:54.in second. Can Mercedes luck changed today? Recent experience
:02:54. > :03:01.has been from pole to 9th. That is not a nice thing - not very
:03:01. > :03:07.enjoyable. I doubt we can fight for the weigh-in and podium could be
:03:07. > :03:16.difficult. -- at the winner. Mercedes are not confident of
:03:16. > :03:26.staying in that position for long. Romain Grosjean, Mark Webber and
:03:26. > :03:53.
:03:53. > :04:01.this season. Pastor Maldonado is Now for the race. Lights Out! A way
:04:01. > :04:08.we go up! Fernando Alonso on the outside. Keke Rosberg in the lead.
:04:08. > :04:15.Sebastian Vettel is trying to make it three wind. He splits the
:04:15. > :04:23.Mercedes. -- 3 Y eight. Round the outside goes Fernando Alonso. He is
:04:23. > :04:28.trying to get Hamilton as well. That is amazing. Brilliant stuff
:04:28. > :04:33.from Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. It looked like a car moved
:04:33. > :04:40.early. I will look forward to seeing the replay. Did Fernando
:04:40. > :04:45.Alonso get more than just a great start? The pressure is put on Nico
:04:45. > :04:51.Rosberg. He will have wanted to have his team-mate behind him. He
:04:51. > :04:56.cannot push. We saw on the free practice sessions. When they pushed,
:04:57. > :05:05.but tyres went off the end of the clef will start Mercedes have been
:05:05. > :05:13.saying they will run their own race. -- the cliff. Sergio Perez stays in
:05:13. > :05:21.front of the Ferrari of Filipe Massa. Adrian Sutil has come up to
:05:21. > :05:31.5th place. Mark Webber release things going wrong for him. A bit
:05:31. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:40.of jostling into the chicane. Fernando Alonso is in third.
:05:40. > :05:50.Hamilton in force. Here comes the other Ferrari. Filipe Massa already
:05:50. > :05:52.
:05:52. > :05:57.on the move. He is in 6th position. A great opening lap. A long way to
:05:57. > :06:06.go in this season but Fernando Alonso has made his ultimate dream
:06:06. > :06:12.clear. Beautiful! You are in the pack. Let's go for it. He almost
:06:12. > :06:17.has a fatherly voice. A great relationship between driver and
:06:17. > :06:25.engineer. Kimi Raikkonen not so happy with the start of his race.
:06:25. > :06:33.He is damned to 5th place. He is chasing you as Hamilton. A shield
:06:34. > :06:43.Bianchi got a bit of a damage on the front wing. -- jewels Bianchi.
:06:44. > :06:44.
:06:44. > :06:51.Here is a running 21st. Keke Rosberg leads. They are bunching up
:06:51. > :06:56.together. Nicky Rosberg is not able to extend the advantage. They're
:06:56. > :07:01.keeping it bunched up. That means there will be multiple DRS cars
:07:01. > :07:06.available. That will come at the end of the next lap. They will be
:07:06. > :07:16.able to activate DRS. But it might be more difficult on this circuit
:07:16. > :07:18.
:07:18. > :07:24.than others. Coming in to turn nine, that is a high-speed corner. Let's
:07:24. > :07:34.quickly run you through the Border Force de Keke Rosberg is in the
:07:34. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :07:40.lead. -- the order. Keke Rosberg it is in the lead. As a bunch up now,
:07:40. > :07:50.getting closer and closer this lead group will start Romain Grosjean is
:07:50. > :07:58.
:07:58. > :08:07.in 9th. Mark Webber is up to 11th. Daniel Ricciardo is in 13th. Pastor
:08:07. > :08:14.Maldonado and Esteban Gutierrez in 16th. Contrasting styles. Sebastian
:08:14. > :08:19.Vettel is running very wide before and cutting back. Really important
:08:20. > :08:29.to look after the left rear. They are looking after the tyres already.
:08:30. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:42.Nicky Rosberg is leading this race. He will be so aware of that. He was
:08:42. > :08:48.not close enough to attack. In the background, you have Sergio Perez
:08:48. > :08:53.chased by Adrian Sutil. You can see the Williams going through. Out
:08:53. > :09:00.what happened to Valtteri Bottas? He has dropped some time. Maybe
:09:00. > :09:04.what caught my eye was that Filipe Massa had such a flyer compared
:09:04. > :09:08.with Mark Webber. Everyone reacted clearly to the light. Fernando
:09:08. > :09:13.Alonso had to go to the outside. Lock up from Lewis Hamilton as he
:09:13. > :09:19.ran into the first corner. Whether that affects the performance of the
:09:19. > :09:24.car remains to be seen. He gets on the outside of the Lotus. Brave
:09:24. > :09:31.stuff! It is fantastic to watch these world-class drivers go wheel
:09:31. > :09:40.to wheel. He is amazing on the first lap. He has led the last two
:09:40. > :09:46.Grand Prix on the first lap. Neither from pole position. Initial
:09:46. > :09:53.reaction was good. It was the second phase at the start. Lewis
:09:53. > :09:59.Hamilton picks up the slipstream. Look for the Markup on the brakes!
:09:59. > :10:03.There was contact with Sebastian Vettel as he went into Turn One. A
:10:03. > :10:12.kiss between professionals does not make any damage to the car.
:10:12. > :10:17.Fernando Alonso is going to the right, then left her. He is running
:10:17. > :10:22.in three. He is not getting the slipstream. He is losing out by not
:10:22. > :10:27.having a car in front of him. He cuts back and then catches the
:10:27. > :10:33.Lotus. He probably did not expect to go around the outside in three.
:10:33. > :10:38.When the opportunity was there, he took it. On board with Kimi
:10:38. > :10:47.Raikkonen. He is chasing Lewis Hamilton. Filipe Massa is close -
:10:47. > :10:56.not close enough I think to challenge - as we come into Turn
:10:56. > :11:03.One. Just listen to them through three. Hear that! It has to lift
:11:03. > :11:08.out massively when you are running at this phase of the Grand Prix.
:11:08. > :11:14.1:29.7 is the fastest of the race. Sid and again the slower than
:11:14. > :11:20.qualifying. Still this gap developing between Fernando Alonso
:11:20. > :11:25.and Lewis Hamilton. -- significantly slower than
:11:25. > :11:32.qualifying. The gap to Sergio Perez has closed a bit. Then at Adrian
:11:32. > :11:39.Sutil in the Force India. Romain Grosjean in the other Lotus. Mark
:11:39. > :11:44.Webber is still outside the top 10, in elevens. An attack from Kimi
:11:44. > :11:48.Raikkonen. That has moved him up into 4th place. Lewis Hamilton was
:11:48. > :11:57.harder on his tyres in free practice. He was not able to drive
:11:57. > :12:03.the car on the limit of getting out of rubber. They are surely going
:12:03. > :12:13.for four stops with Mark Webber. They are trying to get him out of
:12:13. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:22.traffic. And over steel bike Kimi Raikkonen. -- and oversteer by Kimi
:12:22. > :12:25.Raikkonen. Fernando Alonso sitting in third. A brand new set of hard
:12:25. > :12:33.tyres going on board the car of Mark Webber. You'd think he would
:12:33. > :12:40.be it on a four stop strategy. Maybe some will stretch it to three.
:12:40. > :12:45.For the Benassi is put in Lewis Hamilton under pressure. -- Filipe
:12:45. > :12:52.Massa his putting Lewis Hamilton under pressure. We need to push
:12:52. > :12:58.early in this stint. Confirmation of the four stop strategy. Making
:12:58. > :13:03.that decision early it puts Mark Webber second last. He should be
:13:03. > :13:09.able to pass those guys relatively easily. When you are in the mid-
:13:09. > :13:13.grid area, he will start to lose some performance. Filipe Massa has
:13:13. > :13:19.gone round the outside of Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton is trying
:13:19. > :13:24.to defend but Filipe Massa has taken 5th place. I wonder how long
:13:24. > :13:29.they will keep Lewis Hamilton out there. He has been told to think
:13:29. > :13:39.about brake balance. That lock up in to Turn One of A Macro cannot
:13:39. > :13:41.
:13:41. > :13:46.help. Ferrari are getting ready for a pit stop. -- 10 one cannot help.
:13:46. > :13:53.The Force India has been very kind on its tyres. They have gone for a
:13:53. > :13:59.relatively early stop. A hard tyre is going on the Ferrari. Maybe they
:13:59. > :14:06.could make it three stops. A mistake from a Williams driver.
:14:06. > :14:13.Pastor Maldonado nearly stopped in the wrong place. Wondering what a
:14:13. > :14:22.difference 12 months makes! Damaged to Romain Grosjean. He has damage
:14:22. > :14:27.on his car - the right rear. He is coming into the pits. Is that the
:14:27. > :14:31.failure on track? Force India has a very long stop. Is it memories of
:14:31. > :14:37.Malaysia when they had those horrible pit stop problems?
:14:37. > :14:47.Whatever it is, it is not good. in Aberu Kebede teams battling for
:14:47. > :14:51.
:14:51. > :14:55.points. It looks to be all over for Romain Grosjean. -- two teams.
:14:55. > :15:02.There is Lewis Hamilton and Adrian Sutil has come back out onto the
:15:02. > :15:07.track. I think they have managed to send him on his way once again.
:15:07. > :15:14.Hamilton. Incomes Fernando Alonso into the pits. A straight forward
:15:14. > :15:24.stop. Back out on a hard tyres. Lewis Hamilton is in as well, as is
:15:24. > :15:32.
:15:32. > :15:42.Paul di Resta and Jean-Eric Vergne baling early. We saw Jenson Button
:15:42. > :15:45.
:15:45. > :15:51.locking up into the first corner. He is not having a happy run. It is --
:15:51. > :15:59.Romain Grosjean's first non-finish of the season. The back end let go
:15:59. > :16:06.on him. These are the top two, Nico Rosberg against Sebastian Vettel,
:16:06. > :16:14.neither has been in the pits yet. They will both be in this lap.
:16:14. > :16:20.are into the pits, lap ten. This is the battle of the pit teams. Nico
:16:20. > :16:27.Rosberg should be able to come out in position. It is a quick stop. It
:16:27. > :16:34.will be close. They are going to be very tight. They just about manage
:16:34. > :16:40.to get Nico Rosberg in front. 2.8 seconds Nico Rosberg. Fernando
:16:40. > :16:44.Alonso is on the outside, the Ferrari will split them, he has
:16:44. > :16:51.gained a place from Sebastian Vettel, but look at the support! He
:16:52. > :16:56.is having a go at getting past the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg. He is
:16:56. > :17:04.under pressure from Fernando Alonso. Brilliant stuff, he made good use of
:17:05. > :17:12.the fresh tyres. He has been pretty fast, getting his nose in there so
:17:12. > :17:19.far this grand prix. Somewhere around this lap, Nico Rosberg will
:17:19. > :17:26.be wise to it. There is only so much that you can defend. Felipe Massa is
:17:26. > :17:36.not far behind. Kimi Raikkonen is chasing down. This is a move from
:17:36. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:51.for Pastor Maldonado. He was bleeding in the pit lane and taking
:17:51. > :17:57.a strange line. -- speeding in the pitlane. Nico Rosberg is in the lead
:17:57. > :18:02.of this group. He takes over the lead of this race, he crosses the
:18:02. > :18:12.line ahead, chased by Fernando Alonso will stop then by Sebastian
:18:12. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:17.Vettel. It is very close between this top group. Further back, Lewis
:18:18. > :18:26.Hamilton is way down the pack. Coming out of the pits, Jenson
:18:26. > :18:34.Button. He comes out in 15th place. Fernando Alonso is weaving around, a
:18:34. > :18:41.much tighter line. Will he try the inside? Nico Rosberg is wise to it.
:18:41. > :18:48.He is having to go defensive. are on board with Nico Rosberg. They
:18:48. > :18:54.are coming up to the second DRS zone. Up through the ninth corner.
:18:54. > :19:01.No change on the rear wing of Nico Rosberg's car, because he is the
:19:01. > :19:06.lead car. You can see it working for Fernando Alonso. Not enough space on
:19:06. > :19:12.the straight, and look at how close Felipe Massa is, and Kimi Raikkonen
:19:12. > :19:19.joining in. Mark Webber is in seventh place, with Sergio Perez in
:19:19. > :19:26.eighth place. Lewis Hamilton is down in 10th place. The Mercedes opens a
:19:26. > :19:31.gap every time when you come out of the last turn. That is crucial.
:19:31. > :19:36.Fernando Alonso is closer than the last lap, but he is losing time.
:19:36. > :19:41.That might keep Nico Rosberg in clean air. The Spaniard is going for
:19:41. > :19:47.the lead, and he is ahead! He gets past the Mercedes! Look at the
:19:47. > :19:52.response from the fans! Their man is in front. The Ferrari is working
:19:52. > :19:59.well on both compounds of Tyre. Nico Rosberg is struggling here. Great
:19:59. > :20:07.stuff. Bernie Ecclestone said Fernando Alonso for the win. It is a
:20:07. > :20:13.long way to go, but he is looking fast. Sebastian Vettel attacking,
:20:13. > :20:19.Esteban Gutierrez is leading the race... Sebastian Vettel gets past
:20:19. > :20:26.Nico Rosberg. In effect, this is second place, because Esteban
:20:26. > :20:33.Gutierrez will make a pit stop soon. He is just ahead in the Sauber.
:20:33. > :20:43.Felipe Massa looking for a bit of action. The Sebastian Vettel pass
:20:43. > :20:46.
:20:46. > :20:51.would have had him using his KERS. He went strategic, that is an
:20:51. > :20:59.example of how you can deploy the horsepower that is available from
:20:59. > :21:05.KERS and use it anywhere on the lab. Riding on board with Kimi Raikkonen.
:21:05. > :21:09.Esteban Gutierrez is in, so Fernando Alonso leads from Sebastian Vettel.
:21:09. > :21:17.Felipe Massa moves up into third place. Nico Rosberg under attack
:21:17. > :21:23.from Kimi Raikkonen. Paul di Resta is in eighth place. Lewis Hamilton
:21:23. > :21:33.moves up to ninth place. This was the overtake. Nico Rosberg goes
:21:33. > :21:40.defensive, and the speed for such a difference. He was the fastest man
:21:40. > :21:47.of all in qualifying. They have set the car up for straight line speed.
:21:47. > :21:57.His mechanics cheering. This is Felipe Massa getting past Nico
:21:57. > :21:57.
:21:57. > :22:01.Rosberg as well. He dealt with it nicely. This race is not over. Kimi
:22:01. > :22:08.Raikkonen is on the medium compound tyre, but all of the others around
:22:08. > :22:14.him are on the hard compound tyres. He is close enough, side-by-side,
:22:14. > :22:21.Kimi Raikkonen takes the place, he gets past Nico Rosberg, moving him
:22:21. > :22:30.up into fourth place. A different strategy being used by Lotus. Can he
:22:30. > :22:34.start to close the gap to Felipe Massa? Fernando Alonso has a 1.6
:22:34. > :22:39.second advantage over Sebastian Vettel. RADIO: Look after your
:22:39. > :22:46.tyres, the last five laps of the ones that matter. Indeed, it could
:22:46. > :22:55.come down to that. That is the over speed that is available when you
:22:55. > :23:05.have the DRS open. There is no point picking up dust on your tyres. You
:23:05. > :23:07.
:23:07. > :23:16.can hear the limiter, just under 200 mph. RADIO: I have problems...
:23:16. > :23:22.Understood. Box at the end of this lap. Felipe Massa will be coming in
:23:22. > :23:26.at the end of this lap. He has got some sort of difficulty. Daniel
:23:26. > :23:32.Ricciardo is flying at the moment, in eighth place, but he has caught
:23:32. > :23:38.Sergio Perez ahead of him. Kimi Raikkonen has been catching Felipe
:23:38. > :23:46.Massa, so it is interesting to watch that. You can see the left front
:23:46. > :23:54.tire, it is really grained. It is not too big a drama, because it will
:23:54. > :24:02.happen. The problem is the driver does not like to see that, because
:24:02. > :24:07.it does not boost the confidence. Thank you, Gary. The Ferrari crew
:24:07. > :24:15.are ready in the pitlane. Felipe Massa brings the Ferrari into the
:24:15. > :24:20.pits. It is a short run, 11 or 12 laps on that set of tyres will stop
:24:20. > :24:24.the is going to be going on to another set of the hard tyres. I
:24:24. > :24:30.wonder if there was another problem there, but that is a short stint.
:24:30. > :24:36.The tyres are so fragile... Mark Webber is coming in as well. His lap
:24:36. > :24:40.times were too far away. Once you get in a situation with the tyres
:24:40. > :24:47.but they have fallen beyond their operating window, you cannot bring
:24:47. > :24:50.them back again. If you keep them below that point, which is what we
:24:50. > :25:00.are seeing with Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen
:25:00. > :25:01.
:25:01. > :25:08.close to them, you can see the effect of managing the tyres.
:25:08. > :25:11.Esteban Gutierrez in the second Sauber is having a good run. He went
:25:11. > :25:20.for the long first stint, and it has brought him out behind his
:25:20. > :25:25.team-mate. Felipe Massa under some pressure from Daniel Ricciardo.
:25:25. > :25:34.Daniel Ricciardo has got past Sergio Perez and Nico Rosberg, he is
:25:34. > :25:39.flying. Fernando Alonso is coming in. Felipe Massa has been in the
:25:39. > :25:45.pits for the other stop. Further back, Lewis Hamilton in eighth
:25:45. > :25:55.place. Slightly slow for Fernando Alonso. Let's see where it puts him
:25:55. > :25:58.
:25:58. > :26:01.out. Nico Rosberg has gone through. He will be hoping, by the time he
:26:01. > :26:08.gets on the back of Nico Rosberg, Nico Rosberg will have decided he
:26:08. > :26:18.has had enough. It looks like Ferrari might be going for four
:26:18. > :26:20.
:26:20. > :26:28.stops. RADIO: The wheels or something! OK, try to make it back.
:26:28. > :26:38.That will be a shameful Giedo van der Garde. He is the second of the
:26:38. > :26:42.
:26:42. > :26:47.young teams group. That is not a good thing. Fernando Alonso, there
:26:47. > :26:51.he goes, and Felipe Massa is in the background. He started in ninth
:26:51. > :26:58.place, the gap is seven seconds between the Ferrari's. Then we are
:26:58. > :27:05.waiting for Sebastian Vettel. At this point, they have all made two
:27:05. > :27:12.stops. At this stage, they are even Stevens, but red Bull are trying to
:27:12. > :27:22.make 1-stop less, we think. Fernando Alonso is one second a lap faster
:27:22. > :27:27.
:27:27. > :27:36.than Sebastian Vettel. Effectively, Fernando Alonso can get an extra
:27:36. > :27:46.stop for free. Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne are on slightly
:27:46. > :27:55.
:27:56. > :28:01.Valtteri Bottas is still running. RADIO: I have been overtaken by a
:28:01. > :28:08.Williams! He did not sound impressed by that. That is not what he was
:28:08. > :28:18.expecting. We are on board with Lewis Hamilton. He is battling with
:28:18. > :28:21.
:28:21. > :28:29.runners, you might as well have some fun battling. This is him going past
:28:29. > :28:39.Pastor Maldonado. A fairly straightforward pass, but you do not
:28:39. > :28:42.see overtaking there that often. DRS open on Kimi Raikkonen's car. It
:28:42. > :28:52.becomes more demanding to try to overtake there. They are both
:28:52. > :28:56.
:28:56. > :29:03.Renault powered cars. RADIO: I cannot drive any slower! That hurts.
:29:03. > :29:08.It does, it is such a shame. Kimi Raikkonen closing up. I thought he
:29:08. > :29:14.might even have a chance to get through. He is going to be very
:29:14. > :29:24.close. There is no doubt that Sebastian Vettel cannot turn as
:29:24. > :29:36.
:29:36. > :29:44.something you can look through, looked beyond, loop to the horizon.
:29:44. > :29:54.If it means it is at the point where it can no longer operate,
:29:54. > :29:56.
:29:56. > :30:03.they should use the cliff terminology. Kimi Raikkonen pulls
:30:03. > :30:09.away -- Sebastian Vettel pulled away as they exit. If you want to
:30:09. > :30:15.know what a Formula One car hitting eight sausage kerb looks like, that
:30:15. > :30:23.was your moment. Kimi Raikkonen is losing a second a lap on what he
:30:23. > :30:29.could do. He is desperate to get past as soon as possible. He will
:30:29. > :30:35.pounds. Sebastian Vettel had an issue. Will Kimi Raikkonen have a
:30:35. > :30:40.chance to get into five? Sebastian Vettel will need to be defensive.
:30:40. > :30:48.Once again he drops back quite a wait before being able to open up
:30:48. > :30:52.the throttle again. Sebastian battle was very wide. -- Sebastian
:30:52. > :30:58.Vettel. Presumably that is what you're talking about - he is trying
:30:58. > :31:02.to look after the tyres as much as possible. He is 17.6 seconds behind
:31:03. > :31:12.the race leader, Fernando Alonso. Next time he will be a full pit
:31:13. > :31:25.
:31:25. > :31:35.stop behind. It gives Ferrari a I could not work out what it was
:31:35. > :31:36.
:31:37. > :31:43.all about. He is coming into the pits - Max Chilton. Now Sebastian
:31:43. > :31:49.Vettel, of course, is likely to pick up the DRS himself. That is
:31:49. > :31:59.likely to assist him in staying in front of Sebastian Vettel. Filipe
:31:59. > :32:00.
:32:00. > :32:06.Massa is still in second position. Finance -- Fernando Alonso is still
:32:06. > :32:14.in the lead. That is better pulled a try to keep it like that. That is
:32:15. > :32:22.good. Hold it together. -- that is better. The you would expect the
:32:22. > :32:31.Ferraris would come in in about three more laps. If Fernando Alonso
:32:31. > :32:38.can hold on and just try and open up the gap to 19, 20 seconds, his
:32:38. > :32:45.pit crew will get a bit of breathing space. The Act is brave
:32:45. > :32:51.by Sebastian Vettel. He only gives just enough space. He almost lost a
:32:51. > :32:58.position and now he will challenge again. He is taking a special line
:32:58. > :33:05.- trying to look after his tyres. Can he not hit the kerb so much?
:33:05. > :33:11.Not on the kerb but he gets a touch of wheelspin. The lock up allows
:33:11. > :33:20.Sebastian Vettel to get another car length. He is still not quite close
:33:20. > :33:26.enough. So frustrating for Kimi Raikkonen. He is side-by-side with
:33:26. > :33:35.Sebastian Vettel. He really went for it. That was so late on the
:33:35. > :33:39.brakes. Great stuff by Sebastian Vettel. In the end, you have to say
:33:39. > :33:44.that Sebastian Vettel was not sure where he was but left enough of a
:33:44. > :33:50.car's width and Kimi Raikkonen pounced on it. I did not quite
:33:50. > :33:56.catch the radio message. I was too excited to shut up on that one, I
:33:56. > :34:01.am afraid. Maybe someone from home can tweet as it. I did not think he
:34:01. > :34:08.would go for it. Sebastian Vettel gave him space. I believe the
:34:08. > :34:17.message was, you have to raise your race - do not over defend and drive
:34:17. > :34:23.to the tyres you have got. A lot of celebrating Finnish fans outside of
:34:23. > :34:28.Turn One. This is his third pit stop. There he will need one more.
:34:28. > :34:37.He goes on to the medium compound tyre. Ferrari are calling the
:34:37. > :34:43.strategy here. A 3.2 seconds stop - not their best. A set of mediums as
:34:43. > :34:48.well. The same strategy. They had run these in the first stint of the
:34:48. > :34:52.race. They have decided to go for the other tyre as the race tyre.
:34:52. > :35:00.Maybe they have seen what Kimi Raikkonen has done. Out comes
:35:00. > :35:06.Filipe Massa. Mark Webber in there. There was a great shot. A beautiful
:35:06. > :35:16.stop. Mark Webber gets on his way once more. The teams practise their
:35:16. > :35:22.pit stops about 50 times over race weekend. Fernando Alonso is in
:35:22. > :35:26.second place now he has had his pit stop. The Mercedes pit crew is
:35:26. > :35:35.there as well. They are going to service their car. They have really
:35:35. > :35:40.gone backwards in this race. They practise pit stops every single day.
:35:40. > :35:44.In the case of Mercedes, they have a Formula One car with an electric
:35:44. > :35:50.engine in and they do their bit for the Environment, drive it around
:35:50. > :35:58.the workshop, cumin for the pit stop and try it out again. -- come
:35:58. > :36:03.in. It is brilliant NEC that done so cleanly. Kimi Raikkonen leads
:36:04. > :36:13.from Fernando Alonso. Remember they both have won more pit stop to go
:36:13. > :36:21.in this race. -- one. He is still on for a three stop race. Fernando
:36:21. > :36:27.Alonso is making it a four stop ways. Kimi Raikkonen is cutting
:36:27. > :36:33.through the traffic and trying to lose as little time as possible.
:36:33. > :36:42.Fernando Alonso wants to try and use the fresher tyres to find his
:36:42. > :36:47.way past Kimi Raikkonen. The fastest lap of his race, last time
:36:47. > :36:52.around. Of course, with both of them having a pit stop, but choice
:36:52. > :36:57.of tyre will be interesting. We have seen Kimi Raikkonen stick on
:36:57. > :37:04.the medium compound tyres was that he has not used a hard tyre. --
:37:04. > :37:09.compound tyres. That was very wide. It looks like a mechanical problem.
:37:09. > :37:15.We would try to check that out in a moment. Frederick was Jean-Eric
:37:15. > :37:21.Vergne or Daniel Ricciardo. -- that was. Jean-Eric Vergne not going
:37:21. > :37:26.where he should be. At the moment he is dropping down the field and
:37:26. > :37:33.has lost several places. Here comes Fernando Alonso, trying to retake
:37:33. > :37:36.the lead. It will be a straight forward pass. Fernando Alonso goes
:37:36. > :37:43.ahead, gets past Kimi Raikkonen and retake the lead in the Spanish
:37:43. > :37:46.Grand Prix. They both have one pit stop to go. It will come down to
:37:46. > :37:53.how much Kimi Raikkonen can stay with Fernando Alonso in this stint.
:37:53. > :37:59.He cannot afford to lose too much time. He is on fresh tyres at this
:37:59. > :38:04.stage. Use up your tyres, use up your tyres! That is why we are
:38:04. > :38:08.beginning to see some quicker lap times perhaps. We do not know when
:38:08. > :38:15.that message was broadcast to the car. Let's see how many laps he
:38:15. > :38:20.does before coming in. He is also on the medium compound tyre. He has
:38:20. > :38:28.gone back on to the medium tyre - a new set of those was up there is
:38:28. > :38:33.Sergio Perez. He is in 9th position. -- set of those. He has had his
:38:33. > :38:41.best result of the season so far. What will he be able to do on this
:38:41. > :38:47.one? They are trying to workout, can they get two Ferraris on to the
:38:47. > :38:56.podium? That would be a great achievement. Filipe Massa started
:38:56. > :39:02.in 9th place. He had a penalty. this lap, box this lap! This is
:39:02. > :39:11.pretty early. They are looking at the maximum duration of 19 laps, 20
:39:11. > :39:19.laps on the hard tyre. Incomes Kimi Raikkonen. Let's just listen. -- in
:39:19. > :39:28.comes. Just a slight hiccup but not too much time lost a bulldog that
:39:28. > :39:35.will be a long run to the flag the start -- time lost. Sebastian
:39:35. > :39:40.Vettel is a few seconds behind. He is being chased. Sebastian Vettel
:39:40. > :39:47.will be coming back into the pits. Sebastian Vettel will lose more
:39:47. > :39:53.time when he comes back out of the pits. His car is moving around a
:39:53. > :39:57.bit. It does not look as if the World Championship leader will be
:39:57. > :40:06.able to win this race. Kimi Raikkonen is his nearest challenger
:40:06. > :40:15.in the points. He is 10 points behind. It has not been Sebastian
:40:15. > :40:22.Vettel's day so far. Can I get him out safely? Lovely! No problem at
:40:23. > :40:32.all. Fantastic! A fantastic pit stop. Fernando Alonso will come out
:40:33. > :40:33.
:40:33. > :40:39.knowing that he has the knack -- Filipe Massa said to protect him.
:40:39. > :40:44.This is working well for Fernando Alonso. It is the final stint of
:40:44. > :40:48.the Grand Prix. He needs to look after that car and bring it home. I
:40:48. > :40:52.do not want to tempt fate that he is up for braking the record to
:40:52. > :41:02.date - of the most number of finishers without a mechanical
:41:02. > :41:04.
:41:04. > :41:12.failure. All the Ferrari fans are going to kill me for saying that.
:41:12. > :41:21.Through turned through with a big lift. He is losing a lot of time. -
:41:21. > :41:29.- turn three. This is not a nice experience. The height of Saturday.
:41:29. > :41:39.And then... He is 85 seconds behind the leader, Fernando Alonso. That
:41:39. > :41:46.
:41:46. > :41:52.is a bit of a shopper. Nico Rosberg is in 9th. In Monaco, are we going
:41:52. > :42:00.to see a huge betrayal of cars trying to get past them? You need
:42:00. > :42:05.to watch out in Monaco. Somebody might pit early and get the
:42:05. > :42:12.undercut and then jump them. It backs people up a lot more than you
:42:12. > :42:17.see in these more open circuits. They have been quick enough to show
:42:17. > :42:24.the aero crossover. Back at the Spanish Grand Prix, it is all about
:42:24. > :42:31.Ferrari. At the moment it is. Let's not forget Kimi Raikkonen. Filipe
:42:31. > :42:37.Massa still has to make his final pit stop. Mark Webber is on his way
:42:37. > :42:47.again. We knew he was on for it because he was the first into the
:42:47. > :42:48.
:42:48. > :42:55.pit. Lewis Hamilton is being passed by Jenson Button. That is for 11th
:42:55. > :43:01.place. Hamilton and Jenson Button, the two former team-mates. They are
:43:01. > :43:07.fighting down at the bottom end of the top 10. Filipe Massa will go on
:43:07. > :43:14.the chase of Kimi Raikkonen. Income Sebastian Vettel for his 4th pit-
:43:14. > :43:20.stop. That is how many pit-stops we have seen a from him. He won in
:43:21. > :43:30.2011 but he will not win on a four stock raced today. He has not had
:43:30. > :43:36.that pace. -- stop race today. He does not seem to be under any
:43:37. > :43:41.pressure from behind. Mark Webber has lost a place to Paul di Resta.
:43:41. > :43:51.He is yet to make his final pit stops the Mark Webber will come
:43:51. > :43:52.
:43:52. > :43:59.back up. He has got back past him. Jean-Eric Vergne had the tyre strip.
:43:59. > :44:05.That is why he is further down than expected. The Toro Rosso is a quick
:44:06. > :44:11.car. Daniel Ricciardo has just come into the pits. Showing bid pays
:44:11. > :44:21.from the Toro Rosso. It is Jean- Eric Vergne he is leading the group
:44:21. > :44:24.
:44:24. > :44:33.of young drivers. We have lost Guido van de Garde a while ago.
:44:33. > :44:40.Nothing too difficult about that one. The DRS opens and it creates a
:44:40. > :44:45.massive amount of drag. Almost like he created horsepower. Paul di
:44:45. > :44:51.Resta still trying to get past Nico Rosberg. He has sat there for a few
:44:51. > :44:57.laps. He has done 15 laps on those tyres. Always a danger those tyres
:44:57. > :45:07.will fall of the cliff. Quite a lot of marking on the left front. This
:45:07. > :45:17.
:45:17. > :45:23.Let's see where he is when they come off the last corner. It is normally
:45:23. > :45:31.flat out. He is in position, he should be able to hone in on the
:45:31. > :45:36.back of the Mercedes. He will have to go to the outside. He has erred
:45:36. > :45:45.on the side of caution. He has got a few laps left. The grandstand
:45:45. > :45:54.finish! Biding his time until the last moment. Nico Rosberg having to
:45:54. > :45:59.turn -- having to defend. He is struggling for corner speed. The
:45:59. > :46:05.tyres have done 16 laps, he should be able to get it to the end, but it
:46:05. > :46:09.will be slightly nerve wracking. Because Sergio Perez has not got
:46:09. > :46:15.past Jenson Button, and so hasn't closed the gap, it looks as though
:46:15. > :46:23.Nico Rosberg might drop one place to seventh, but not any further.
:46:23. > :46:32.DRS is open. I was getting excited their! A bit too short, that
:46:32. > :46:39.section. If he gets within the one second window of the Caterham, he
:46:39. > :46:43.will get DRS, so Paul di Resta might have to wait another lap. We are on
:46:43. > :46:51.lap 64 out of 66, so Paul di Resta needs to make the move, but it would
:46:51. > :46:59.be a job and as result. Nico Rosberg will get the DRS now. The rest are
:46:59. > :47:08.closing -- all the rest is closing up. He might have to find somewhere
:47:08. > :47:14.else to get past the Mercedes. 63 laps completed. Fernando Alonso is
:47:15. > :47:19.behind them, he has just crossed the line, so to laps to go. Paul di
:47:19. > :47:23.Resta is looking for any opportunity. Jenson Button is still
:47:23. > :47:33.in front of Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo is in front of Esteban
:47:33. > :47:40.
:47:40. > :47:46.place on folding. How good is Fernando Alonso? How many times do
:47:46. > :47:54.we say that? He is breathtaking. But he has got a car that is working for
:47:54. > :47:58.him. Fernando Alonso on home turf, this would be his second victory of
:47:58. > :48:04.the second -- the Spanish Grand Prix, but he had an emotional
:48:04. > :48:12.victory at Valencia last year. It was the attacking style on the
:48:12. > :48:21.opening lap that I loved. He is still attacking. He is getting into
:48:21. > :48:29.the last lap. Felipe Massa's wife and son. Giving a thumbs up to
:48:29. > :48:38.daddy. What a day for Ferrari, both cars. The team principal's birthday
:48:38. > :48:46.this week. 48 years old, a young man leading the team. It looks like two
:48:46. > :48:56.cars on the podium. A feeling when you know you are near to the
:48:56. > :48:57.
:48:57. > :49:01.chequered flag, the emotions will be bubbling over. He has got more than
:49:01. > :49:06.11 seconds, he does not have to do anything dramatic, it is a question
:49:06. > :49:15.of stroking it home. There is no relaxing until the chequered flag,
:49:15. > :49:20.they have been around for too long. But solidly, Ferrari are the most
:49:20. > :49:23.successful team in the Spanish Grand Prix over the years, they have had
:49:23. > :49:29.11 victories at the various different circuits. Look at the
:49:29. > :49:35.response from the fans for Fernando Alonso. A bit of smoke from somebody
:49:35. > :49:43.ahead. No change in the other battles, Paul di Resta is still
:49:43. > :49:47.behind Nico Rosberg. Sergio Perez is still behind Jenson Button. It looks
:49:47. > :49:54.like Esteban Gutierrez will miss out on his first point by a fraction of
:49:54. > :49:59.a second. Adrian Sutil is in 13th, Pastor Maldonado in 14th. Fernando
:49:59. > :50:05.Alonso making his way around, through the final corner. He is
:50:05. > :50:12.waiting to the crowd already. He wins the Spanish Grand Prix, his
:50:12. > :50:16.home event for the second time, although his third feature in Spain
:50:16. > :50:21.when you include Valencia. Kimi Raikkonen comes home in second
:50:21. > :50:31.place, he closes the gap in the championship. Paul di Resta not able
:50:31. > :50:33.
:50:33. > :50:38.to get past. We are waiting to see, actually, what happens there. A
:50:38. > :50:45.double podium for Ferrari, as Felipe Massa brings his car home. They got
:50:46. > :50:55.a double podium in Brazil, but with a victory and a third place, a super
:50:56. > :51:00.
:51:01. > :51:09.achievement, and the first podium of adulation of the crowd. Fernando
:51:09. > :51:14.Alonso, winning his home Grand Prix. He has won in Valencia with this
:51:14. > :51:24.team, but he has never won the Spanish Grand Prix for Ferrari. He
:51:24. > :51:24.
:51:24. > :52:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:52:07. > :52:15.can now take that off the list. Fantastic, winning at home, it is
:52:15. > :52:19.lucky if you do it the first time, but this is the third time for me.
:52:19. > :52:28.It is good to win at home, because we have a lot of supporters, they
:52:28. > :52:32.will have a smile, it is not the easiest time for the country, so I
:52:32. > :52:35.am happy for them, and thank you for their support. A different strategy
:52:35. > :52:45.from the other guys, wasn't correct?
:52:45. > :52:55.We chose to do that, it would not have made a difference. Maybe, maybe
:52:55. > :53:01.not, it is hard to say. It was a great race, a great start.
:53:01. > :53:06.It was great to overtake cars on the track. I anticipated this tops, try
:53:06. > :53:13.to overtake more cars than possible. We passed Nico Rosberg,
:53:13. > :53:18.and then it was just keeping the tyres in a good shape. I think the
:53:18. > :53:25.race was good. We have got a lot of work to do.
:53:25. > :53:29.I went back a long way. I do not know why. We have got work to do, we
:53:29. > :53:36.will go back to the drawing board and hope to find out what is wrong.
:53:36. > :53:42.We said we would be happy with seventh place. We converged, I did
:53:42. > :53:47.not know what was going on. We were far from optimised, with a limited
:53:47. > :53:53.run on Friday, and the new parts on the car, but the team have done a
:53:53. > :53:59.good job. We can go to the next race and make these develop the better.
:53:59. > :54:07.It is all about points, we have a seventh place, so that is a big
:54:07. > :54:11.result for us. The first corner was a mess, so to
:54:11. > :54:19.finish eighth is not too bad. And a lot of work still needed. Some of
:54:19. > :54:23.the speeds of the other cars, there is a lot of work to do. But a a lot
:54:23. > :54:29.of useful information today, new parts on the car. We will have some
:54:29. > :54:35.new parts for Monaco. We might have made progress, we will have to see,
:54:35. > :54:39.both drivers in the points. A masterclass from Fernando Alonso.
:54:39. > :54:44.He wanted to get the victory in front of the home crowd. Ferrari
:54:44. > :54:48.could manage the tyres, and he delivered the victory. And it was
:54:48. > :54:55.also great for them to see Felipe Massa on the podium. He drove very
:54:55. > :55:00.well. He did not have the pace of Fernando Alonso, but it has enabled
:55:00. > :55:05.them to move up to second place in the constructors championship. It
:55:05. > :55:11.seemed as though Fernando Alonso new he was going to win. Sometimes, you
:55:11. > :55:15.have that feeling, even after qualifying in fifth place, he knew
:55:15. > :55:21.from Friday and Saturday morning that he had good tyre management,
:55:21. > :55:24.and that is absolutely key. What about consistency? We have to talk
:55:24. > :55:34.about Kimi Raikkonen, he has not finished lower than where he started
:55:34. > :55:35.
:55:35. > :55:40.on the grid. He has also had 32 consecutive finishes. He has not
:55:40. > :55:43.scored points in all of those, of course, but it is an impressive
:55:43. > :55:50.display of how you go about winning championships. You have got to
:55:50. > :55:54.finish. Still in contention of winning the championship. The red
:55:54. > :55:58.Bull car is slightly off the pace, but Sebastian Vettel is still at the
:55:58. > :56:02.top of the tree. They are leading both championships, they will not be
:56:02. > :56:08.too disappointed. They are not having the run we have seen
:56:08. > :56:12.previously, but they are experienced enough to know that you can only
:56:12. > :56:18.dream of dominating year-on-year. It looks like a 3-way battle between
:56:18. > :56:24.Lotus, Red Bull and Ferrari. Any one of those drivers can win this
