00:00What is going to happen in the next 24 laps?

00:02It's lights out, away we go, and Lando Norris gets away slightly better than Oskar Piastri,

00:07who moves over to cover that inside line.

00:09Piastri leads into the first turn from Norris, Verstappen's trying down the inside,

00:13but he can't get past Lando Norris, and he can't get past the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc,

00:18so he has to stick in fourth place, and they all sail through.

00:21And the Senna S's, although the two Haases, getting a little bit squirrelly, Hulkenberg and Berman.

00:26That wasn't a very compliant team order.

00:27Messy move there from Oskar Piastri, immediately defending the inside line,

00:32and he's broken away a few car lengths.

00:34Sweet ride on board with Max Verstappen now,

00:37heading from Junxsau to the first corner, 1.2 kilometers,

00:41full throttle, absolute blast.

00:43Verstappen's in place to try and challenge around the outside,

00:46and a turn one, but the inside line covered by the Ferrari.

00:49Charles Leclerc fends him off, but for how much longer?

00:52Take your time, Max.

00:53And you know the game.

00:56Time that we can watch the start again.

00:58So, you see, just off the line, both McLarens made decent starts.

01:04Similar starts, I'd say.

01:05Leclerc probably got a better launch,

01:06but Piastri went immediately to cover the inside line.

01:10Hamilton was hung out on the outside there, Crofty,

01:13behind the Haas car, had to check himself back out of it,

01:16and that allowed the Red Bull of Sergio Perez to get in front,

01:21running down towards turn four.

01:23And this is, we've cut now to the inside.

01:25Yeah, what we can't see here is the lock-up from Max Verstappen.

01:28It was quite a big lock-up going into turn one.

01:30For a moment, I think he felt there was a gap.

01:32There's the lock-up.

01:33Lot of tire smoking from Max Verstappen.

01:37That then compromised him coming out of that first turn

01:39and allowed Charles Leclerc to stay ahead.

01:41So, we're looking back from George Russell's car at the Haas there,

01:46and he's sort of a meat in the sandwich.

01:48Olli Bergman riding on board with him.

01:49He's got his teammate to the left,

01:52and, oh, had a snap of oversteer.

01:54That's what hurt his run coming down the straight.

01:57And look at how much momentum Hulkenberg pulled,

02:00and then Perez got ahead as well.

02:02Out in front, we're watching the live pictures as well.

02:05I think this is smart work from the McLaren pair here.

02:07Oscar Piastri isn't disappearing off into the distance.

02:10What he is doing is keeping Lando Norris very much behind him

02:13in DRS range as well,

02:15and helping his pace and protecting him from Charles Leclerc.

02:18Yeah, Leclerc's playing it smart, right?

02:19He's like,

02:20yeah, I'm close.

02:23Okay, understood.

02:26The subtext of that is,

02:28right, my turn to get in front now and get him out of the way.

02:30And Lando, we understand, just keeping Leclerc behind.

02:35Don't worry about Oscar too much.

02:37I think McLaren have their plan very much in place for today.

02:41I'm not sure what I'm doing here.

02:43Maybe I thought he spoke about himself.

02:48I think that's what Lando was talking about.

02:50That was close with Piastri,

02:52you know, showing that if he is going to let Lando Norris through,

02:55it's probably going to be towards the end of the sprint.

02:57He's sending a message out, isn't he?

02:58Saying,

02:58Hi, Lando, understood.

02:59Keep doing what you're doing.

03:02Yeah, whatever.

03:04And here comes Sergio Perez looking once more

03:07for an opportunity to get past the hassle of Oli Behrmann.

03:10Behrmann was much closer to his teammate, Nico Hülkenberg.

03:14He's got the DRS behind him.

03:16In fact, Behrmann has got ahead of Nico Hülkenberg.

03:19And Sergio Perez is going down the inside here.

03:22Wonderful move into Desilio de Lago.

03:24And Sergio Perez up into 10th place.

03:26And let's have a look at how Oli Behrmann got past Nico Hülkenberg.

03:30Towards Turn 1 we go.

03:32An amazing pace for Oli Behrmann.

03:34It all opened up for him down the inside.

03:36Hülkenberg was very generous with him there.

03:38I thought, you know, he was a long way behind.

03:41And Hülkenberg just stayed on the racing line.

03:44Didn't try and defend it at all.

03:46And just, yeah, just made it easy for him.

03:48But in the end, that hurt his run, as they say, the exit.

03:51And allowed Perez to get past as well.

03:54Towards Desilio de Lago.

03:56Here we go on this short straight.

03:58Rear wing open for Verstappen.

03:59Giving him extra pace.

04:00But he's a car length too shy of being able to squeeze down the inside.

04:05Oh, come on, chance man.

04:06So many mistakes.

04:08Just keep calm.

04:09Now's your chance, mate.

04:11He should be pleased if a driver's making mistakes.

04:14That allows an opportunity, doesn't it?

04:16At the front.

04:17It takes me back to all those conversations, doesn't it?

04:20With the gap to Leclerc at the moment,

04:22we're happy, if we can, to hold these positions until the last lap.

04:27There we go.

04:28Will Joseph confirming what I was saying before,

04:31which is, if you were Piastri,

04:33you probably said, okay, I'll support you.

04:35But I'm going to send the message that I could have won Oscar Piastri in 11.7.

04:39Here we go, Crofty.

04:40Yeah, forget that for a moment.

04:41Because here comes Max Verstappen.

04:43And he's going to have to go down the inside, I think, at Desilio de Lago.

04:46Charles Leclerc has covered that off.

04:47But Charles Leclerc hasn't got the pace to keep Verstappen at bay.

04:51And he swoops around the outside before the corner.

04:53And Max Verstappen moves up into third place.

04:56And the crowd rather like that.

04:57We're on board with Sergio Perez, who's down in ninth place.

05:00And he still fancies trying to get past Dakar in front.

05:03That's Liam Lawson, who tried to cover it off very, very late.

05:06And then realized he wasn't going to cover that off at all.

05:09And thought, no, I better back out before we get a few problems here.

05:13And, as you say, up into 12th place.

05:17And let's have a little look at what happened here.

05:18Franco Colopinto was looking to make a move.

05:22That compromised him somewhat.

05:24You can see the Williams, whoa, getting really, really slidey

05:27through the curve at Assault.

05:28Probably the easiest move Hamilton's ever made

05:30in terms of an overtake at Interlagos.

05:32Interlagos turn four.

05:33Didn't really catch the end of that.

05:35But he's parked off the track.

05:38Here comes Hamilton on Oli Behrmann, down into turn one.

05:41There he goes.

05:43And Hamilton now up into 11th place.

05:45Nice move.

05:46We've got double yellows being waived

05:48from where Nico Holkenberg has parked up

05:50on the exit of Bico de Pato.

05:51Does it need a safety car to remove that stranded Haas?

05:57Or has he managed to get it going again?

05:59Or is that just because he's going downhill?

06:00I think he's just trying to roll to a safe parking spot there.

06:03He's looking for where to go.

06:05But he's off the track in a relatively slow part of the circuit.

06:09This might be the opportunity for McLaren now.

06:12Or they need to take the opportunity if they're going to switch.

06:15Because if you get a safety car, they can't switch it.

06:17And I think that message has got through to Lando Norris

06:21and to Oskar Piastri to swap positions.

06:23They couldn't risk it any longer.

06:24A safety car would neutralize the race.

06:26No chance to make that switch.

06:28And it's now happened.

06:29But it has put Oskar Piastri right into the clutches of Max Verstappen.

06:34What Lando Norris needs to do now

06:36is to make sure his teammate has got that DRS.

06:39As we've got a virtual safety car.

06:42And that might just finish the race behind the virtual safety car.

06:46And will certainly ease the stress levels going on

06:51in the young man from Melbourne's cockpit.

06:54And give Lando Norris this win as well.

06:57Nico Hülkenberg out after parking up his car.

07:01Pay attention to this.

07:02Because if his grip is driving slow, report it.

07:07Yeah, he's talking about Oskar Piastri.

07:10And a little bit worried that he might be building a gap

07:12that he isn't allowed to build to Lando Norris.

07:15The virtual safety car is ending.

07:17But where's it ending?

07:18And it might be ending at exactly the wrong time for Oskar Piastri.

07:22Verstappen still under his delta.

07:24And it now goes green.

07:25And I tell you what, two seconds earlier,

07:27Max Verstappen would have been passed.

07:30Oskar Piastri there.

07:31That ended at just the right moment for the McLaren.

07:35Frustration, I'm sure, for Max Verstappen.

07:3724 laps in Sao Paulo.

07:39He started from the front row.

07:41He's going to finish as the winner.

07:43Lando Norris wins the sprint.

07:45His teammate, Oskar Piastri, from pole,

07:48completes a one-two for McLaren.

07:51Max Verstappen in third, getting past Charles Leclerc

07:54and making up one place in the sprint.

07:56Carlos Sainz started and finished fifth.

07:59George Russell finishes sixth and was really never in it.

08:03Well done, Oskar.

08:04Great job.

08:05And massive support to the team as well.

08:07So a big fan of your work today.

08:10Really good.

08:11Yeah, well done, everyone.

08:14Good day for the team.

08:15And yeah, I think a little bit of pace is fine,

08:18but well done, everyone.
