:00:21. > :00:22.was that? It's Raikkonen! Felipe Massa is over. This is Formula One.
:00:23. > :01:26.Race 12, Spa, Belgium. the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa. As I
:01:27. > :01:30.talk to you, the rain starts to fall, of course. That's one of the
:01:31. > :01:35.huge things, the weather factor. It has played a huge part in
:01:36. > :01:39.proceedings. We had a summer break, but we are back. Let's look at how
:01:40. > :01:47.it looks. Lewis Hamilton trying to close that 11 point gap to Nico
:01:48. > :01:55.Rosberg. Daniel Ricciardo has led two races and won them both.
:01:56. > :01:58.Fernando Alonso is fourth, and Valtteri Bottas is fifth. Mercedes
:01:59. > :02:04.hold the cards in the Constructors' Championship. The challenge for
:02:05. > :02:08.second is on. Red Bull are holding second, but Ferrari and Williams are
:02:09. > :02:13.up for the fight. We'll have all of the race action in a moment. First,
:02:14. > :02:20.here is the story of qualifying. Hulkenberg was the first big-name
:02:21. > :02:24.casualties as he went out in Q1. He said he had no confidence in his
:02:25. > :02:28.Force India car. Williams said it was their best chance of a race win
:02:29. > :02:33.so far this season. It didn't work out in qualifying. They could have
:02:34. > :02:38.done without the rain. Bottas start in sixth. Ferrari have looked strong
:02:39. > :02:47.all weekend. Fernando Alonso had a slight off at Tim -- Turn 4. Red
:02:48. > :02:53.Bull looked the best of the rest, but Ricciardo made a mistake. He
:02:54. > :02:57.starts fifth. That left Sebastian Vettel to take it to Mercedes, the
:02:58. > :03:01.world champion starts third. Mercedes were two seconds ahead of
:03:02. > :03:05.the field. Hamilton was complaining of problems with his car, and
:03:06. > :03:10.Rosberg had no issues and put together an incredible lap to take
:03:11. > :03:16.his fourth pole position, but his first up this circuit. So, Rosberg
:03:17. > :03:23.has a clear view at the front. Lewis Hamilton has his first front row
:03:24. > :03:30.start since the Canadian Grand Prix. Vergne is third, Alonso is fourth,
:03:31. > :03:47.followed by Ricciardo and Bob asked. Magnussen -- Bottas.
:03:48. > :03:54.Maldonado had his second off in two days. Watch out for a big start from
:03:55. > :04:00.Nico Hulkenberg. Esteban Gutierrez had another failure on his
:04:01. > :04:01.Southworth. And Andre Lotterer outqualified his team-mate, Marcus
:04:02. > :04:12.Ericsson. Everybody, bar one, using the soft
:04:13. > :04:17.tyre. Sutil has gone for the medium compound. Everybody else has gone
:04:18. > :04:23.soft. That's strange, if we get rain, and they go to medium, they
:04:24. > :04:26.don't need to use the other optional tyre available. There is an offset
:04:27. > :04:32.in performance between the yellow marked one. I am a bit worried, you
:04:33. > :04:38.have to clear the car by a certain time. Ferrari are still working on
:04:39. > :04:44.it, bad news for Fernando Alonso. I'm standing there, they just had to
:04:45. > :04:45.rush out with a spare battery Pack two Fernando Alonso's car,
:04:46. > :04:53.suggesting two Fernando Alonso's car,
:04:54. > :04:58.in time. Forget it now, is going to lose his grid position. That means
:04:59. > :05:05.he will lose fourth place in the grid. It will open up. Bottas.
:05:06. > :05:10.Fifth. Maybe he will be able to recover? I didn't think he would be
:05:11. > :05:14.able to get away at all. He was away before the last car, so he should be
:05:15. > :05:20.able to reclaim his position. It didn't look like it when he had it
:05:21. > :05:28.up on Drax. Now, he will not have had the chance to go through a
:05:29. > :05:33.normal start procedure. -- Jack's. They will be going back to a default
:05:34. > :05:36.setting for the race start. Huge relief he is able to take up his
:05:37. > :05:50.grid position. A great battle between him and Vettel this
:05:51. > :05:53.afternoon. There is already information coming up on our screens
:05:54. > :05:59.about the investigation into the incident. That the issue, it's the
:06:00. > :06:07.safety of the mechanics, they have to be clear of the cars and that is
:06:08. > :06:12.understandable. He may get a drive-through penalty, so still not
:06:13. > :06:18.good news for Fernando Alonso. I you seeing any different activity? Only
:06:19. > :06:23.the battery pack being rushed out. Some mechanics are shaking their
:06:24. > :06:28.heads. Fernando will be particularly disappointed. After qualifying, he
:06:29. > :06:32.described he had had a perfect weekend up until qualifying. That
:06:33. > :06:40.was shown by that second round grid position. Looks like it will be a
:06:41. > :06:47.difficult afternoon for him now. I'm looking out of the commentary box
:06:48. > :06:51.and Lewis Hamilton is a full metre forward out of his box. He's
:06:52. > :06:59.reversing back into his position. He will be in a quick procedure now to
:07:00. > :07:06.get himself back in... What is... Is there an issue with the grid? Well,
:07:07. > :07:13.we have seen Alonso being in trouble recently for being out of position.
:07:14. > :07:16.We are in position now, for the Belgian Grand Prix. Rosberg
:07:17. > :07:20.We are in position now, for the good start. Lewis Hamilton makes a
:07:21. > :07:24.better one! He snatches the lead. Vettel is on the outside of
:07:25. > :07:29.Rosberg. And it's moved into second place. Rosberg is down to third.
:07:30. > :07:36.Alonso is there. Contact in the background. Up, Hamilton leads.
:07:37. > :07:42.Vettel, Rosberg, then Alonso. We do have a yellow flags as the result of
:07:43. > :07:46.an incident at La Source. Here comes Sebastian Vettel, doing what he did
:07:47. > :07:51.last year. He slipped streams and tries to go past Lewis Hamilton.
:07:52. > :07:55.This time he fails and has to take a short cut. He will lose a couple of
:07:56. > :08:01.places as a result and he re-emerges in third. He had to have a go. He
:08:02. > :08:04.could not stop the car at the top of a hill. He has rejoined. Although he
:08:05. > :08:06.missed the corner, a hill. He has rejoined. Although he
:08:07. > :08:11.any advantage. a hill. He has rejoined. Although he
:08:12. > :08:16.We are riding with Fernando Alonso, in fifth place. He is being passed
:08:17. > :08:22.by Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo has taken the Ferrari. Hamilton is still
:08:23. > :08:30.the man leading this Grand Prix. Hamilton, from Rosberg. No, it is
:08:31. > :08:41.still Alonso in fourth, my mistake. Alonso is in fourth, chasing Vettel.
:08:42. > :08:48.Farce is in sixth. -- Bottas. There was obviously contact at that first
:08:49. > :08:52.corner. Presumably that was the incident we saw in the background,
:08:53. > :09:04.coming out of La Source and coming down to Eau Rouge. Look at Rosberg.
:09:05. > :09:07.I wondered if he was going to make a challenge on Hamilton. Hamilton
:09:08. > :09:14.leads as they come around. Hamilton, from Rosberg. A gap to Sebastian
:09:15. > :09:16.Vettel. Alonso is in fourth. Ricardo is in fifth, then Bottas,
:09:17. > :09:25.Raikkonen, Massa and the is in fifth, then Bottas,
:09:26. > :09:30.completed by Jenson Button. Rosberg was coming out of La Source, is he
:09:31. > :09:35.close enough to get a run through Eau Rouge?
:09:36. > :09:45.Coming through S1, Hamilton has to go defensive. Rosberg is trying to
:09:46. > :09:50.go through the outside. They touched! It has damaged the front
:09:51. > :09:59.wing of Rosberg's car! And his punctured Hamilton! Hamilton!
:10:00. > :10:04.Hamilton is off, Rosberg has taken advantage from the contact between
:10:05. > :10:08.the two cars. Rosberg has to come in for a new front wing, that is the
:10:09. > :10:17.worst place possible for Hamilton to get a puncture. He'll be last when
:10:18. > :10:23.he comes in. TEAM RADIO: He hit me! Matt Wells, copy that, mid 12.
:10:24. > :10:30.Rosberg has to be aggressive, he to get the upper hand. He comes out
:10:31. > :10:36.of the slipstream, trying to come around the outside of the turn, to
:10:37. > :10:42.position himself on the inside. Hamilton is taking his racing line.
:10:43. > :10:50.I don't think he was trying to make the contact. I think he thought he
:10:51. > :10:57.needed to be aggressive. It looked like it was going to affect him. But
:10:58. > :11:01.the big loser in this is Hamilton. Would you put that down as a racing
:11:02. > :11:06.incident? Yes, I don't think he was trying a thing other than to force
:11:07. > :11:09.his car into position. That is what Hamilton has done with some success
:11:10. > :11:13.against Rosberg. In this case, he would have to take responsibility
:11:14. > :11:16.within the team for the first contact. I don't think there should
:11:17. > :11:22.be anything other than that, a racing incident, in terms of what
:11:23. > :11:26.the stewards are looking at. Well, Rosberg says he has got problems.
:11:27. > :11:29.They say, it looks OK on the data, keep going. But there is some
:11:30. > :11:35.damage, maybe it is more extensive. keep going. But there is some
:11:36. > :11:39.Alonso is in third position. But Alonso has been given a five second
:11:40. > :11:45.penalty. He doesn't have to take that until he gets to the pit stop.
:11:46. > :11:48.Alonso will stay out there for the, his first pit stop will have the
:11:49. > :11:53.five seconds added to it. In the meantime, incomes Lewis Hamilton
:11:54. > :11:58.with that shredded tire. He has damaged the rear of the car as well.
:11:59. > :12:02.You can see, in front of the left rear tyre, the floor is broken.
:12:03. > :12:12.Issues affecting that as well. He will be furious, of course. That's
:12:13. > :12:20.going to be a frosty day. I remember touching Mika Hakkinen at La Source,
:12:21. > :12:24.although there was no damage, he would not talk to me. TEAM RADIO: I
:12:25. > :12:35.lost a lot of front. We would not talk to me. TEAM RADIO: I
:12:36. > :12:40.hang it out Nico. Rosberg is struggling with a loss of You can
:12:41. > :12:44.see that Vettel sees a situation that he can profit from. Alonso is
:12:45. > :12:51.chasing him. We have a couple of cars stopped and out, debris down

:12:58. > :13:01.Hamilton's tyre? Yes, it is come on the fastest part of the race track.
:13:02. > :13:05.I don't think anybody would criticise the race director if a

:16:49. > :16:57.followed by Magnussen. Lovely through Eau Rouge. Button, AIDS.
:16:58. > :17:03.Bottas is making the move on Alonso, Valtteri Bottas using DRS

:17:09. > :17:13.and he is up to fourth, is there another podium on the cards for
:17:14. > :17:20.Valtteri Bottas? Look how much closer Kimi Raikkonen is to his
:17:21. > :17:24.team-mate. He goes wide and comes for the shallower line, on the exit,
:17:25. > :17:28.Raikkonen has been looking stronger this weekend. It is a track where he
:17:29. > :17:34.has won four times in the past. Alonso, having the penalty he will
:17:35. > :17:38.serve later in the Grand Prix, it has
:17:39. > :17:43.serve later in the Grand Prix, it generally. Is this the resurgence of
:17:44. > :17:48.Kimi Raikkonen? We know the new team boss has confirmed he will be in the
:17:49. > :17:53.car next year. On board with Hamilton, Ricciardo was closer to
:17:54. > :17:56.Rosberg, we will watch that as well. With Hamilton, as he comes up
:17:57. > :18:04.towards the corner, is the car behaving strangely? We heard from
:18:05. > :18:12.the engineer, the puncture, they had to adjust the differential. They are
:18:13. > :18:17.going to change the front wing, this opens up the opportunity for Daniel
:18:18. > :18:22.Ricciardo, Rosberg comes in. Nico Rosberg into the pit lane, he will
:18:23. > :18:27.change the front wing, which puts Daniel Ricciardo into the lead at
:18:28. > :18:30.the Belgian Grand Prix. Interesting, normally this would be three
:18:31. > :18:39.seconds, this procedure can take up to ten seconds. Let's see how slick
:18:40. > :18:45.the work is. Raikkonen in as well. Relatively early for Raikkonen and
:18:46. > :18:49.was Berg gets going. Total pit lane time normally you would expect
:18:50. > :18:52.around 20 seconds. Looks like a relatively slow stop for Raikkonen,
:18:53. > :18:59.and another seven seconds added to the normal stop. That would show
:19:00. > :19:04.some things you cannot speed up much, they have to get the car off
:19:05. > :19:07.the front Jack, when they put the stand over, removing the nose which
:19:08. > :19:11.is part of the crash structure. Putting the new nose on, putting the
:19:12. > :19:16.jack under, removing the stand and releasing the car. A bit of a
:19:17. > :19:21.challenge. Coming up from Massa, from Hulkenburg, in fact here comes
:19:22. > :19:31.matter. It is another place for Hulkenburg. Manual rack Iago. --
:19:32. > :19:35.incomes Massa. They come through Eau Rouge, this is the right-handed part
:19:36. > :19:41.and over the rise, onto the Camel straight. Nico Rosberg has been told
:19:42. > :19:47.he needs to get pass Raikkonen as soon as. Not easy on the harder
:19:48. > :19:47.tyre. Harder tyres for Felipe Massa. Williams sometimes struggle with
:19:48. > :19:53.tyre degradation. One of the earlier Williams sometimes struggle with
:19:54. > :19:57.stops here, but Sergio Perez has been in, and Force India are
:19:58. > :20:02.normally very good on their tyres. Sergio Perez has gone back out now,
:20:03. > :20:09.on a set of the soft tyres. Add another problem for Rosberg. Yes,
:20:10. > :20:14.debris. On the radio, I would have thought he would have pulled that
:20:15. > :20:18.away. Something that you would find inside the tyre, perhaps from the
:20:19. > :20:23.damage from Hamilton or Bianchi. I am surprised, why is he not removing
:20:24. > :20:28.this from flapping around? It could get caught around the steering
:20:29. > :20:37.wheel. Incomes the Red Bull of Vettel. Vettel has come in, from
:20:38. > :20:39.second position. Daniel Ricciardo, continuing to lead, he is staying
:20:40. > :20:46.with the soft tyres, Sebastian Vettel, he has already made a

:20:51. > :20:57.Ricciardo will take full advantage of that. -- handing the ad vantage.
:20:58. > :21:03.Kimi Raikkonen, look at that, did you see the power slide from Vettel?
:21:04. > :21:11.Coming up behind Raikkonen, it looks like Rosberg is ahead... We will
:21:12. > :21:17.check. I think he is behind him. Vergne, he will have the slipstream
:21:18. > :21:23.on him. Indeed, he pulls out of the slipstream, easy pass, Raikkonen
:21:24. > :21:26.ahead of him giving him some toe in the distance, that is why he was
:21:27. > :21:30.sideways coming out of the shorter hairpin. Inside La Source, he knew
:21:31. > :21:37.how close it would be with Raikkonen, and the Toro Rosso. Is
:21:38. > :21:46.this where we pick up the debris on Rosberg? Going through Eau Rouge.
:21:47. > :21:54.Yes, it was flipped up, off the Sauber, he tries to get it off, then
:21:55. > :22:00.he decides to concentrate. It is still there, leaning the aerial over
:22:01. > :22:04.and flapping around in his face. Ricciardo taking his stop, let's see
:22:05. > :22:10.where this brings him out, Alonso and Bottas have gone around
:22:11. > :22:15.start-finish. He will come out... Just in front of Raikkonen? Under
:22:16. > :22:22.normal conditions. Kevin Magnussen, Valtteri Bottas now leading the
:22:23. > :22:32.Grand Prix, Ricciardo in front of Raikkonen. Toro Rosso, Jean-Eric
:22:33. > :22:36.Vergne, yet to come into the pits. Lap 12, out of 44. What a change
:22:37. > :22:47.from what we were expecting, no Mercedes domination at the moment.
:22:48. > :22:54.Hamilton. RADIO: Please update me. You are still catching Grosjean, the
:22:55. > :22:58.only car faster than you is Bottas. Alonso and Bottas, in the pit lanes,
:22:59. > :23:04.where will they emerge? We expect Ricciardo to come around. Raikkonen
:23:05. > :23:05.will be in front as well, let's see. A good quick stop from Williams
:23:06. > :23:10.will be in front as well, let's see. a slow stop because Alonso had the
:23:11. > :23:13.five second penalty applied to the pit stop, dropping him down the
:23:14. > :23:24.order. Bottas getting out, Alonso, side-by-side with
:23:25. > :23:26.order. Bottas getting out, Alonso, coming up behind Rosberg. He will

:23:31. > :23:36.get the run on the fresh tyres get himself into position to
:23:37. > :23:40.overtake Perez. Here he comes with DRS, has he got enough momentum? He
:23:41. > :23:45.does not go for it, trying to keep it tidy. Looking for another
:23:46. > :23:50.opportunity, but that could be difficult for Alonso. To make
:23:51. > :23:55.headway. It could be a difficult card to overtake, the Mercedes power
:23:56. > :24:00.unit. Trying through the outside, lovely move down the inside! That
:24:01. > :24:06.was magic stuff from Alonso. Brilliant. That is why he is often
:24:07. > :24:10.picked as the drivers driver. He sniffs the opportunity and he is in
:24:11. > :24:15.there. So important because he could have been stuck behind him for a
:24:16. > :24:18.long time otherwise. We have a change around, Jenson Button is
:24:19. > :24:22.leading the Grand Prix because he's not been into the pit stop. Daniel
:24:23. > :24:28.Ricciardo, effective leader because he has made a pit stop, currently in
:24:29. > :24:35.second on the road. Raikkonen, third, Vettel, fourth, Rosberg, then

:25:01. > :25:05.place. Vergne, having a look into the La Source. He will have the
:25:06. > :25:10.benefit of the DRS over the hill, through Eau Rouge. Looks like
:25:11. > :25:16.Magnussen has had a great drive, he has broken the toe. This is an
:25:17. > :25:22.opportunity for Nico Rosberg. Will he go for the inside, he locks up
:25:23. > :25:27.and goes down the outside. Almost overdid it. He might lose his place
:25:28. > :25:32.to Bottas, he just managed to save it, he's having a go. And Bottas now
:25:33. > :25:35.has an opportunity. As they go towards La Source, Rosberg has to be
:25:36. > :25:40.defensive, no way through but towards La Source, Rosberg has to be
:25:41. > :25:48.will still have to go through Eau Rouge. Nico Rosberg is not quite so
:25:49. > :25:52.settled in wheel-to-wheel combat. Hamilton, Alonso, Daniel Ricciardo,
:25:53. > :25:54.we have seen, more often than not they take the advantage.
:25:55. > :26:01.we have seen, more often than not in a position, he will have to
:26:02. > :26:05.defend, DRS. He has done it, that is the consequence of not getting it
:26:06. > :26:11.right on the chicane. It has cost Rosberg another position and a
:26:12. > :26:16.polite round of applause from the British team, Williams. Valtteri
:26:17. > :26:21.Bottas has moved past Nico Rosberg and into fourth place. Just take
:26:22. > :26:28.another look at how it came about. This was the attempted move by Nico
:26:29. > :26:32.Rosberg. Vettel defence. By the time Rosberg realises he has to go to the
:26:33. > :26:37.outside, he locks up and does not make the pass, could be some damage
:26:38. > :26:41.to the tyre. The approach speed will be 200 mph to the braking zone. You
:26:42. > :26:45.can imagine the amount of energy which goes into the hotspot on the
:26:46. > :26:51.tyres, he gets away with it it has to be said. Letting the car roll.
:26:52. > :26:56.Hamilton coming into the pits on Lap 18. His second pit stop of the day,
:26:57. > :27:01.the first one for the punctured tyre after contact with Rosberg.
:27:02. > :27:05.Interesting to see there has been no investigation into the incident,
:27:06. > :27:10.nothing has appeared in screen. In recent races we have heard the
:27:11. > :27:13.stewards will be more relaxed about racing incident, not investigating
:27:14. > :27:22.every single incident and there is no sign of any penalty. RADIO: Check
:27:23. > :27:28.the vibration on the front tyre. It is on the limit, OK? That is
:27:29. > :27:32.interesting, they have the vibration sensor. You remember a few years
:27:33. > :27:41.ago, when we had Kimi Raikkonen driving for McLaren. No burgling --
:27:42. > :27:46.in Germany, the frequency of the vibration saw the suspension
:27:47. > :27:50.exploding, past the braking zone, in Turn 1, these cars are designed for
:27:51. > :27:54.tolerance but they don't have a lot of extra weight in the suspension.
:27:55. > :27:59.Vettel did a great job of defending against Bottas. Williams, this was
:28:00. > :28:04.expected to be an opportunity, OK, still early days, as we see Rosberg
:28:05. > :28:10.coming for the pits. They have decided the vibration is too much,
:28:11. > :28:14.well. Shorter stint than I expected. It looks like the wrong
:28:15. > :28:18.well. Shorter stint than I expected. has spotted it. What issue do they
:28:19. > :28:27.have with this option? It is strange, and Hamilton is back out on
:28:28. > :28:30.the option. It's over half distance still to do, that would be a long
:28:31. > :28:41.way even on the medium compound tyre. Its performance would go away
:28:42. > :28:45.hugely to the end of the Grand Prix. TEAM RADIO: It is being discussed,
:28:46. > :28:50.but your pace is good. We never know what is going to happen with safety
:28:51. > :28:54.cars. Let's keep plugging away and we will keep discussing it. It
:28:55. > :29:00.sounds like Hamilton is mentally putting up the white flag. 17th
:29:01. > :29:04.place. He is seven tenths quicker than the race leader, Daniel
:29:05. > :29:11.Ricciardo. But he is a good 73 seconds behind the race leader. So,
:29:12. > :29:17.from Daniil Kvyat, he's got about 70 seconds to make up. What he's
:29:18. > :29:22.referring to is the limited number of engines they are using, why put
:29:23. > :29:27.extra mileage on an engineer going to be racing for the rest of the
:29:28. > :29:31.season if there is no chance of getting any points? His team are
:29:32. > :29:35.saying, well, let's wait and see what happens, there may still be
:29:36. > :29:41.opportunities. Down into the chicane, the inside of the Toro
:29:42. > :29:45.Rosso, Toro Rosso not making it too difficult for him. Sebastian
:29:46. > :29:53.Vettel, onto the harder compound tyre. We have got 21 laps remaining,
:29:54. > :29:57.it is possible he could do the rest of the Grand Prix on those tires,
:29:58. > :30:06.you would think. That is presumably what Red Bull will be trying to do.
:30:07. > :30:11.Well, a gap of 14 seconds to Bottas last time around. Doing an
:30:12. > :30:15.exceptional job. All of the pressure coming into this, it was all about
:30:16. > :30:20.damage limitation and maybe we will be back again for an opportunity to
:30:21. > :30:25.go for the win. You are right about Button getting closer. He is dicing
:30:26. > :30:30.with Rosberg. In fact, Rosberg has got past him. He's on hunt. He's on
:30:31. > :30:36.a fresh set of tyres and he's got past Button and is bearing down on
:30:37. > :30:43.Alonso. Raikkonen on is just behind him as well. We have a tasty battle
:30:44. > :30:45.between the champion elects, three guys that have picked up World
:30:46. > :30:51.Championships in their career so far. Raikkonen has made his second
:30:52. > :30:55.pit stop. He's now at the back of this group. He will not want to lose
:30:56. > :30:59.too much time. Daniel Ricciardo is leading this Grand Prix, only having
:31:00. > :31:04.too much time. Daniel Ricciardo is made one stop so far. Is there a
:31:05. > :31:10.problem for Rosberg? Any idea if he had to give the position back? He
:31:11. > :31:16.just let Button through. Yes, just like he was being allowed through.
:31:17. > :31:23.That is quite possibly the case. We might have a look at that. Rosberg
:31:24. > :31:29.slightly slowed, enough to allow Jenson Button to pass, as if he was
:31:30. > :31:33.letting him through. Toto Wolff is not sure. We gather it might be
:31:34. > :31:44.about track limits at Eau Rouge. Now he's coming back at Button again.
:31:45. > :31:48.Kevin Magnussen in for McLaren. His second and presumably final pit stop
:31:49. > :31:55.of the day. Daniel Ricciardo is still out there leading by 14.6
:31:56. > :32:02.seconds over Valtteri Bottas, yet to make his second stop. He doesn't get
:32:03. > :32:06.a great pass-through La Source. But he must be thinking, I've got to see
:32:07. > :32:14.if I can get pulled up alongside him. Slow the Ferrari was in the
:32:15. > :32:21.rundown to Eau Rouge. Easy pass, Button doesn't even try to defend.
:32:22. > :32:24.Raikkonen incredibly slow in a straight line. Is it like when the
:32:25. > :32:29.team said, you have got to go quicker, and he said, you have to
:32:30. > :32:35.give me more power. Our Ferrari fuel Ltd? This is where Rosberg pulls
:32:36. > :32:40.over on the Exeter of Pouhon, allows Jenson Button on the left. He
:32:41. > :32:56.retakes position. This is where he didn't allow them to gain an
:32:57. > :33:01.advantage. But they are fuel Ltd. Raikkonen has managed to get in
:33:02. > :33:07.front of Jenson Button, on fresh tyres. An important move to get
:33:08. > :33:10.through. Behind them, closing up in the background, you concede a Red
:33:11. > :33:17.Bull of Sebastian Vettel. I wonder if there might be a chance for him
:33:18. > :33:23.to join in the fun and games. This is going to be a chance for Rosberg
:33:24. > :33:26.to pass the Ferrari. He had a quick run through Eau Rouge. Massive extra
:33:27. > :33:32.speed. Look at the figures on screen. 331, against 307 for
:33:33. > :33:36.Fernando Alonso. There was never any doubt that he was going to get past.
:33:37. > :33:43.That puts him into third place. I wonder if he used DRS as a handicap
:33:44. > :33:47.system, whether you should be allowed to use it? It's a good way
:33:48. > :33:54.of helping those that don't have the aerial efficiency, DRS to bring you
:33:55. > :34:01.back into it. Still a race between Rosberg and Ricciardo. TEAM RADIO:
:34:02. > :34:02.back into it. Still a race between Was that pass OK? I will ask.
:34:03. > :34:13.getting worried about every little thing. A race full of incident. He
:34:14. > :34:18.lost the streamer that was on the car. But after contact with his
:34:19. > :34:20.team-mate, damage to the front wing, it is all happening for Nico
:34:21. > :34:24.Rosberg. But he's not out of this it is all happening for Nico
:34:25. > :34:28.race. He is around 25 seconds behind Daniel Ricciardo. He's still got to
:34:29. > :34:34.make a pit stop. That would bring the gap down to five or six
:34:35. > :34:39.seconds. Rosberg, presumably with a faster car. But, as we have seen,
:34:40. > :34:44.the Red Bull is in good shape, better-than-expected. Indeed, seeing
:34:45. > :34:48.a Red Bull catching a McLaren is not something you are used to seeing. We
:34:49. > :35:01.have Vettel going round the outside of the braking zone. He turned
:35:02. > :35:05.right, into one of the McLarens. Well, what they thought was a
:35:06. > :35:13.compromise, Alonso comes in for his stop. Lets see where he comes out.
:35:14. > :35:19.He's on the harder tyre, he'll be in better shape at the end. He'll be
:35:20. > :35:25.behind Magnussen, in front of Perez. They have descended down towards Eau
:35:26. > :35:31.Rouge. TEAM RADIO: Box this lap, box. Where will they rejoin? It will
:35:32. > :35:38.certainly release Daniel Ricciardo. It will keep them in clear air as he
:35:39. > :35:42.tries to open up the gap. Incomes Valtteri Bottas. Ricciardo is
:35:43. > :35:46.leading the Grand Prix once again. Nico Rosberg is going on the chase.
:35:47. > :35:50.The gap between Ricciardo and Rosberg, as they come across the
:35:51. > :35:52.line, is exactly three seconds, is it? Three seconds, is
:35:53. > :35:53.line, is exactly three seconds, is seconds. You were pretty close with
:35:54. > :35:58.your assessment, David. seconds. You were pretty close with
:35:59. > :36:06.a quick stop to see where he comes out in relation to the likes of
:36:07. > :36:11.Raikkonen and Vettel. Rosberg is two seconds away, that will get him into
:36:12. > :36:15.that area where he is close to DRS. Vettel has gone through and he
:36:16. > :36:22.rejoins, head of Button. But he still has to make another pit stop.
:36:23. > :36:25.Bottas on a fresh set of tyres. He is on the medium compound, the
:36:26. > :36:27.harder compound. Most of them around him are on the same type of tyre.
:36:28. > :36:32.Jenson him are on the same type of tyre.
:36:33. > :36:35.stint on the soft tyre. We will see him fairly soon, over the next
:36:36. > :36:41.stint on the soft tyre. We will see or two. Here we are with Daniel
:36:42. > :36:57.Ricciardo. TEAM RADIO: What tyres does Rosberg have? He is on ten lap,
:36:58. > :37:01.prime. You are safe, P2. But is that enough, is he going for victory? Can
:37:02. > :37:10.prime. You are safe, P2. But is that Bottas slip stream past Sebastian
:37:11. > :37:15.Vettel? Bottas to the outside. 's is late on the brakes, and he's
:37:16. > :37:22.through! He did just enough. Vettel did enough, and a big round of
:37:23. > :37:27.applause cars Bottas shows what he can do among the best in the world.
:37:28. > :37:32.Kept his calm. He is a calm, collected driver. Growing in
:37:33. > :37:42.confidence, doing a great job with Williams and putting Massa under
:37:43. > :37:50.pressure. TEAM RADIO: Box, box. Prime tyre. In the constructors
:37:51. > :37:57.race, this is crucial. Is he on his way again? Problem with the
:37:58. > :38:02.engagement of the gear. That surprises me, I thought they would
:38:03. > :38:10.have stayed in first gear. Looking at Bottas, he's got the gap into two
:38:11. > :38:17.seconds. Raikkonen responding. Not wanting to give up the chance to get
:38:18. > :38:22.a podium this afternoon. Crucially, Daniel Ricciardo is maintaining that
:38:23. > :38:27.gap of about 3.5 seconds to Rosberg. Just over 40 miles away from what
:38:28. > :38:35.could be the winner of all wins, around the mighty Spa. He has been
:38:36. > :38:41.pulling off the wins of all wins all season. He's doing it again, but
:38:42. > :38:46.we've still got a while to go. Ten laps of Spa is with 20 laps of most
:38:47. > :38:50.other tracks. Still a way to go. Grosjean has come into the pits and
:38:51. > :38:55.is heading for retirement. It will be only the third of the Grand Prix.
:38:56. > :39:00.The Frenchman pulls the loaders into the pit garage, all over for both
:39:01. > :39:04.cars. We lost Maldonado early on and now Grosjean is out as well. It's
:39:05. > :39:08.been a tough season for Romain Grosjean. Into the pits has come
:39:09. > :39:13.Rosberg. Those tyres are not going to be good and to get into the end.
:39:14. > :39:19.This makes life interesting. He's going to drop behind Kimi Raikkonen,
:39:20. > :39:25.I believe. Raikkonen is going around La Source. You saw the Ferrari come
:39:26. > :39:29.through. So, where is Bottas? So, long stints required. That medium
:39:30. > :39:34.compound tyre not delivering quite the length of stint that they were
:39:35. > :39:40.hoping for. Bottas has got a chance with Rosberg. Can he make it work?
:39:41. > :39:45.He moves to the outside. Kimi Raikkonen is outside. He's got the
:39:46. > :39:55.additional speed. Rosberg is right out of the pits. Will he stay there?
:39:56. > :40:03.Will he respond to that? Normally he would hit it and gain an advantage.
:40:04. > :40:08.Those tyres, new because we had wet qualifying, he's being held behind
:40:09. > :40:12.Bottas. He will not be able to exploit the performance, full engine
:40:13. > :40:17.mode, brand-new set of boots and put him under pressure. That is being
:40:18. > :40:22.neutered by the fact he lost the place to Bottas. Grosjean looking
:40:23. > :40:27.around the car. His engineer giving an explanation of what was going on.
:40:28. > :40:33.There is Rosberg. He's up to speed properly. Just trying to get back on
:40:34. > :40:37.terms with Bottas. Bottas locking up. What an opportunity this is for
:40:38. > :40:43.several teams to put Mercedes in their place for once, not just Red
:40:44. > :40:47.Bull. Williams, under pressure. He is going to slide through,
:40:48. > :40:51.straightaway, on the inside of Blanchimont. He has so much more
:40:52. > :41:01.grip available on those soft tyres, those brand-new soft tyres. There is
:41:02. > :41:07.nothing that Botass could do. Slower than the lap before.
:41:08. > :41:12.Will the team feel they can he get out to the end? Or are
:41:13. > :41:15.Will the team feel they can he get confident that he has the shine
:41:16. > :41:20.taken of that performance. We know how slow the Ferrari has been even
:41:21. > :41:27.in the rundown to Eau Rouge. Expect to have them out of the slipstream
:41:28. > :41:33.even before they go through the DRS section. If you want visible
:41:34. > :41:37.reference for how slow it is in a straight line, there you have it.
:41:38. > :41:40.Kimi Raikkonen trying to keep in the slipstream to get along the straight
:41:41. > :41:48.faster, he's already given a place up. Rosberg flying on these new
:41:49. > :41:53.tyres. We knew that he was 3.5 seconds behind Ricciardo before the
:41:54. > :41:59.stop. There he is, he's going to have to stop and he needs to respond
:42:00. > :42:05.to have any chance. This is where the analysis and the work going on
:42:06. > :42:09.both at Red Bull and the pit wall will count. Do they bring Ricciardo
:42:10. > :42:13.in? If they are going to do it, they have to do it quickly. Otherwise
:42:14. > :42:17.they leave him out there and hope he can hold on. This is a very simple
:42:18. > :42:26.move, in the end, for ago Rosberg to draft past Kimi Raikkonen and that
:42:27. > :42:30.has put him back into second. TEAM RADIO: OK, Lewis, we are seeing
:42:31. > :42:33.degradation in the data, it looks like we may have something coming
:42:34. > :42:44.adrift on the car. We need to box at the end of the lap, cool the car.
:42:45. > :42:48.Hamilton finally gets what he asks for and will retire the car. A
:42:49. > :42:50.miserable afternoon, it centred around the
:42:51. > :42:52.miserable afternoon, it centred Rosberg tried to get past him. He
:42:53. > :43:00.had taken the lead, he tried to sleep around the outside of him and
:43:01. > :43:05.there was slight contact between different of Rosberg's car and the
:43:06. > :43:10.rear tire of Hamilton's car. It punctured his tyre and then he has
:43:11. > :43:14.been out of the game. Rosberg is still in the game, despite a nose
:43:15. > :43:19.cone change. These two are fighting for the podium. Incomes Hamilton.
:43:20. > :43:23.Looks like his race is done? Rosberg is on schedule to take another
:43:24. > :43:27.couple of seconds off the lead. That will get it down to about 13
:43:28. > :43:31.seconds. For Mercedes, it gives them two opportunities. The car is
:43:32. > :43:35.damaged, unless there is a downpour or something it is unlikely he will
:43:36. > :43:39.score a point. But it gets a chance to get Lewis Hamilton in the
:43:40. > :43:41.score a point. But it gets a chance and they will be able to have a word
:43:42. > :43:45.with him before he goes anywhere near the media. When these guys
:43:46. > :43:49.finish on the podium, the team can't get to them, they go straight to the
:43:50. > :43:52.podium and the press conference and it becomes the PR man's worst
:43:53. > :43:57.nightmare, when they don't have a chance to brief them. It's great for
:43:58. > :44:00.us that they speak from the hip, but there we go. Senior management,
:44:01. > :44:08.standing there, waiting to say, can we have a word with you? There will
:44:09. > :44:13.be simply briefing going on, if they finish where they are, Rosberg would
:44:14. > :44:23.be moving ahead, Hamilton would remain on 191 points, and the speed
:44:24. > :44:26.advantage now showing for the Williams. Kimi Raikkonen, heading
:44:27. > :44:30.for his first podium finish, for Ferrari, nothing he could do about
:44:31. > :44:35.that. But he is still on for his best result of the season, Alonso in
:44:36. > :44:40.sixth, at least Raikkonen has a chance to score reasonable points. A
:44:41. > :44:43.changing of the guard there, among Finnish superheroes. Raikkonen, the
:44:44. > :44:47.world champion, but Bottas, Finnish superheroes. Raikkonen, the
:44:48. > :44:55.coming man. Hamilton, having a quick word with Toto Wolff and this to the
:44:56. > :45:05.back of the Garrard. -- the back of the garage. So, Bottas, getting
:45:06. > :45:12.himself into another podium position. Bianchi, out of the Grand
:45:13. > :45:16.Prix, he joins the list of retirements, 17 left running.
:45:17. > :45:22.Ericcson, and Chilton, lapped by this group. Ericcson, indicate to
:45:23. > :45:27.him. He's being lapped at a good place, because he will not lose
:45:28. > :45:32.time, there is a fight, Alonso on the grass, Button taking advantage,
:45:33. > :45:39.Alonso comes back between the McLaren cars. And Alonso is still on
:45:40. > :45:44.the inside. Button, sweeping past. Now he has a go at his team-mate.
:45:45. > :45:49.Trying to go around the outside. Vettel. The McLaren is almost
:45:50. > :45:54.touching. Buttons wheezed out, and Alonso takes the place. Vettel is
:45:55. > :46:01.hunting behind them. Brilliant action, Alonso is still having
:46:02. > :46:05.hunting behind them. Brilliant Ericcson, and Chilton, I know it is
:46:06. > :46:08.last place, but look how close they are, even though
:46:09. > :46:16.last place, but look how close they at stake. Vettel, diving down the
:46:17. > :46:19.inside Button, taking seventh place. It was great defensive driving from
:46:20. > :46:24.Magnussen, Vettel will not see it that way. Up front, I do not think
:46:25. > :46:33.Rosberg is doing enough with two laps to go. He gained only 1.5
:46:34. > :46:38.seconds on the last lap. He still pushing obviously, Rosberg. But the
:46:39. > :46:44.gap is not reducing as much as he needs to take victory at Spa. Daniel
:46:45. > :46:48.Ricciardo once again, heading the victory it seems, on board
:46:49. > :46:51.Ricciardo once again, heading the team-mate, Sebastian Vettel. Vettel
:46:52. > :46:55.will try to get past Fernando Alonso. It is all happening in this
:46:56. > :47:00.group. Kevin Magnussen probably driving the best we have seen this
:47:01. > :47:04.year, apart from his stunning debut in Australia. This is for fifth
:47:05. > :47:07.place, in Australia. This is for fifth
:47:08. > :47:13.the Ferrari is going very good in a straight line. You can expect to see
:47:14. > :47:20.Vettel, at Eau Rouge, getting into DRS. Alonso will have DRS on the
:47:21. > :47:24.McLaren of Magnussen. Vettel, closing up, Alonso picking up the
:47:25. > :47:29.slipstream. Helping to neutralise the speed difference, looking to go
:47:30. > :47:34.around the outside. Vettel will try to take advantage. Alonso was
:47:35. > :47:37.around the outside. Vettel will try of that, trying to cut back, as they
:47:38. > :47:42.go through the corner, down to the hairpin. Will he try to go around
:47:43. > :47:47.the outside, we have seen Magnussen pushing Button wide, he did the same
:47:48. > :47:53.with Alonso and Vettel has gone through. He has done the right
:47:54. > :47:57.thing, he had the right to do that, he had the rising line, most drivers
:47:58. > :48:03.would do the same. Jenson Button trying to line up Fernando Alonso
:48:04. > :48:06.now. Alonso has used that line a few times, but Kevin Magnussen aware of
:48:07. > :48:14.it and he was not going to give him space. Magnussen, looking for fifth
:48:15. > :48:20.place. This could be a defining drive for his future career. It is
:48:21. > :48:23.between Magnussen and Alonso, the incident will be investigated after
:48:24. > :48:30.the race, they've not been looking at too many, this is the first one
:48:31. > :48:33.we have seen. They are saying turn five, not at the hairpin, something
:48:34. > :48:39.else we have not spotted which was happening at turn five. Possibly,
:48:40. > :48:47.Vettel on Magnussen, tries the outside. He made a move earlier but
:48:48. > :48:49.it didn't work this time. Vettel, has got good tyres and good
:48:50. > :48:56.traction, he might have the move done. Squeezes, squeezes Magnussen,
:48:57. > :49:03.not giving it up easily. Allowing Alonso, and Jenson Button to get
:49:04. > :49:09.closer. Vettel all the way, much more traction, he has moved himself
:49:10. > :49:17.into fifth position. Magnussen will have DRS. Yellow flag, this could be
:49:18. > :49:21.the saving grace for Vettel, the fact he has Magnussen behind him.
:49:22. > :49:25.That incident in turn five with Magnussen and Alonso could be the
:49:26. > :49:31.incident we saw with Alonso pushed onto the grass and the approach on
:49:32. > :49:36.to turn five. Yellow flag, denying the opportunity for Alonso to have a
:49:37. > :49:43.go on the other McLaren of Jenson Button. Alonso, is he slowing? Has
:49:44. > :49:48.he broken the front, the tea tray, the section under the front of the
:49:49. > :49:53.car. Could have been damaged when he went on to the grass. Daniel
:49:54. > :49:58.Ricciardo coming through, he wins the Belgian Grand Prix, Nico Rosberg
:49:59. > :50:01.finishes in second place. Back-to-back
:50:02. > :50:03.finishes in second place. Ricciardo. Rosberg threw everything
:50:04. > :50:07.at it but he could not get passed in the end. The McLarens are still
:50:08. > :50:09.fighting for position. In the last lap of the Grand Prix, will it be
:50:10. > :50:19.Magnussen or button Alonso, still struggling in the
:50:20. > :50:24.background, we will keep an eye on that. For the moment, Magnussen has
:50:25. > :50:29.the edge over Jenson Button. Sebastian Vettel will finish ahead,
:50:30. > :50:34.Bottas has come in, third position. Kimi Raikkonen finishing in fourth
:50:35. > :50:38.position, crossing the line. But who is going to be the first of the
:50:39. > :50:42.McLarens? It will be Kevin Magnussen surely, he has done an. They will
:50:43. > :50:50.cross the line is virtually together. That she has done.
:50:51. > :50:55.Magnussen takes six. Button, seven, Fernando Alonso, we are waiting for
:50:56. > :51:00.him. Alonso, will he make it, he comes through in eighth position.
:51:01. > :51:05.The race winner, Daniel Ricardo, he has done it again, his third Grand
:51:06. > :51:12.Prix victory of the season, the 50th ever win for Red Bull. What a season
:51:13. > :51:14.this guy is having. He has won three, his team-mate Sebastian
:51:15. > :51:20.Vettel has yet to win a race this year. Yet to leader Grand Prix this
:51:21. > :51:26.year. The superstar continues -- lead a Grand Prix. Smiling all the
:51:27. > :51:32.way as he takes another victory. STUDIO: This is the result of
:51:33. > :51:37.today's race. Kevin Magnussen has been demoted to 12 plays with the 20
:51:38. > :51:52.second penalty after the incident with Alonso.
:51:53. > :52:14.Mercedes have control of the Constructors' Championship, but
:52:15. > :52:21.McLaren jump ahead of Force India, to take fifth place. Let's say from
:52:22. > :52:25.the main players in today's race. The only driver out there who has
:52:26. > :52:31.managed to beat a Mercedes driver, every opportunity, you are taking
:52:32. > :52:35.and you must be on cloud nine. It could not have gone better really.
:52:36. > :52:40.Considering everything, particularly considering preseason. It has been
:52:41. > :52:48.awesome, I have enjoyed every moment. I am happy to keep it up, to
:52:49. > :52:50.let it continue. Monza will be challenging. We have got Singapore,
:52:51. > :52:58.which should be fun. We will keep going. If they slip up, we will be
:52:59. > :53:01.there to capitalise. When the incident happened, do you regret
:53:02. > :53:07.that, you think you should have played the long game? I regret that
:53:08. > :53:14.we touched, definitely, because it cost me the win. It was avoidable.
:53:15. > :53:18.Essentially you are leading the championship by a greater number of
:53:19. > :53:23.points which must make you smile. Not at the moment, it is early days,
:53:24. > :53:30.I wanted to win and I could not win. I am not very excited at the moment.
:53:31. > :53:35.Yet another strong performance, you must be delighted? Yes, I'm happy,
:53:36. > :53:40.and we should be happy as a team. Good amount of points. A bit of an
:53:41. > :53:46.unlucky situation with the other car. Yes, from my side, the race was
:53:47. > :53:54.interesting. The podium did not come easily. I am gutted for the team,
:53:55. > :53:57.they have worked so hard on the car, we had a difficult time this year,
:53:58. > :54:04.we got a good start and looking positive and I felt good. I took the
:54:05. > :54:06.corner as I normally do, it was my line. I do not know why he hit me. I
:54:07. > :54:12.am sure he will leave here happy. line. I do not know why he hit me. I
:54:13. > :54:16.What will it take for you to win the World Championship? A lot of things
:54:17. > :54:23.are going on in my mind, you get to thinking maybe it is not my year. I
:54:24. > :54:27.cannot let that overtake everything, we still have seven races and I will
:54:28. > :54:35.push, we have a great car and a great team. I believe in them. Who
:54:36. > :54:42.knows whether some fortune will come my way, I will give it everything I
:54:43. > :54:45.can for the next few races. Much controversy at the Belgian Grand
:54:46. > :54:53.Prix, Nico Rosberg tried to take Lewis Hamilton with this manoeuvre
:54:54. > :54:58.that resulted in winning the race for Hamilton, here is Toto Wolff.
:54:59. > :55:05.The incident between the two of them? Absolutely unacceptable, lap
:55:06. > :55:10.number two of a long race, the crash between two team-mates, we have
:55:11. > :55:13.often discussed the situation, it happened today. Can you apportion
:55:14. > :55:21.blame? It happened today. Can you apportion
:55:22. > :55:24.happened. You do not try to overtake with a knife between your teeth, is
:55:25. > :55:33.that how you say, the second lap. Damaging both cars. Is this a
:55:34. > :55:38.watershed moment in the battle between them and their relationship?
:55:39. > :55:43.It is a decisive moment for the battle between the two of them and
:55:44. > :55:48.the team. What did Lewis Hamilton say to you after the race? He was
:55:49. > :55:51.upset, we kept him out there for a long time with a damaged car, he
:55:52. > :55:58.will recover quickly but not very happy. How will you handled this
:55:59. > :56:04.situation now? It is going to be handled. That was certainly a
:56:05. > :56:09.controversial race to say the least. It was fantastic, the
:56:10. > :56:15.unexpected, Red Bull, winning around the circuit where they thought they
:56:16. > :56:17.would be lucky the controversy of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton,
:56:18. > :56:23.fighting over the chance to score points. Very strong position, the
:56:24. > :56:27.management, Mercedes are taking against Rosberg it would seem,
:56:28. > :56:33.between the dryness, how they will work on the strategy, to allow them
:56:34. > :56:39.the chance to fight for the championship -- between the drivers.
:56:40. > :56:40.The driver is done -- the damage is done, Lewis Hamilton has it all to
:56:41. > :56:48.do. could happen. There is a long way to
:56:49. > :56:53.go, approaching the back-end of the season, Lewis Hamilton has not
:56:54. > :56:57.the same fortune as Nico Rosberg. What we saw at the beginning of the
:56:58. > :57:03.year, madness, how could we have a season close of four double points,
:57:04. > :57:08.it could be the saving grace -- how could we have a season close with
:57:09. > :57:10.double points. There is a lot to play for, and it is not in the
:57:11. > :57:20.nature of Lewis Hamilton to throw it in, he will be back. What did you
:57:21. > :57:24.make of Daniel Ricciardo today? It was a really mature drive, managing
:57:25. > :57:28.the strategy, under the pressure of knowing he has Nico Rosberg on the
:57:29. > :57:35.three-stop strategy, much quicker car hunting him down. Very mature.
:57:36. > :57:37.three-stop strategy, much quicker Still smiling. If he felt he got
:57:38. > :57:42.lucky the first time, if he felt he was lucky the second time, this was
:57:43. > :57:51.a really good drive, maturity, he's a champion elect, it is a question
:57:52. > :57:54.of when he gets the opportunity. A quick comment on Valtteri Bottas, he
:57:55. > :58:02.waited for his chance and he took it. Supercool, it is good to see him
:58:03. > :58:06.racing with and against Kimi Raikkonen, every move he made was
:58:07. > :58:10.really assured. He has gone from strength to strength, and he is now
:58:11. > :58:15.the team leader in William. Another incredible race in the 2014 season.
:58:16. > :58:34.We will be back in a fortnight for Monza, we will be live all we Daley
:58:35. > :58:42.-- we will be live all weekend. ROCK MUSIC
