00:00As Red Bull celebrate 400 Grand Prix, it's Max Verstappen on the front row, it's Oscar Piastri on pole position, it's all eyes to the light,

00:08there to the floor as we go racing in Imola and it's a good start from Piastri, Norris as well making gains,

00:13the two Ferraris further back trying to go side by side, George Russell trying to show his nose into turn one

00:19and Verstappen side by side with Piastri through Tamburello and gets the job done, you've got to be brave round there

00:27and he's done it, Verstappen takes the lead for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, there comes Oscar Piastri, George Russell in third

00:34as they all meander their way through, up toes are next, an amazing start by Max Verstappen, it is pretty competitive,

00:42you can see that the Williams is putting pressure on the car in front as well, let's take a look at the start again Harry,

00:47yeah so you can see Oscar Piastri off the line initially well but then look at George Russell as well,

00:51right under the slipstream of Piastri, who looks like he's got this sewn up until, how late on the brakes do you want to go?

00:59That is surely one of the all-time turn one moves!

01:02You know the more times I watch it, the more impressed I am, the commitment, the excellence that Max had going into the braking zone,

01:09yes okay he was on the racing line by the time he gets to the braking zone, so he knew he would have had a bit more speed

01:14if we were on board with George Russell, he looks at the right, he's boxed in by Verstappen,

01:17no gap on the inside but George is happy to protect P3, what is he doing?

01:24George Russell then wasn't too impressed with Piastri's turn one, is Piastri just not aggressive enough there?

01:31By the back in the pack, Franco Colapinto trying to keep his nose clean after a crash yesterday in qualifying,

01:37started six deep, lost a position to one of the Haas cars coming through, followed by the Sauber as well,

01:45quite cautious for Colapinto over the Piratella.

01:47It was very cautious, well actually too cautious in the hairpin.

01:51And this was Pierre Gasly running off the road.

01:54Now there is 5.7 seconds between Russell and Piastri, but will Russell's day be ruined?

02:01Will he be put down in position around the outside of Tamburello?

02:03No, Leclerc, no he doesn't, Norris I should say cuts back in,

02:06but a little bit of a twist on the front end of that McLaren, Norris to the left, swings to the right, not the inside,

02:13he'll have to take the outside, and through goes Norris on George Russell,

02:18but will Russell give up without a fight?

02:20Into Toza, Norris gets the job done, Russell now having to look in his mirrors,

02:25because Fernando Alonso would like a slice of fourth place, please.

02:29He's going to look at this Alonso replay, we saw it live, picture in picture,

02:33hits his marks, changes the tyres, on go the hards, all looks okay,

02:38until, there, front left first, then the front right.

02:43Not hard.

02:44It's like the rear track road or something, just a bit of movement, even at the red line.

02:48I'm sure he'll be vulnerable to Piastri.

02:54Guys, come on, let's not be stupid.

02:57You're doing a great job, you know, pulling away from Hadjar and Alonso.

03:01So this will be Esteban Opa, let's see if it's the engine.

03:15Just seems to come out as he's coming out of the exit.

03:19For Esteban Opa, and he quickly pulls up to the side of the road.

03:22That was the reason for the VSC, and George Russell having to stamp on the brakes

03:27to avoid hitting the car in front of him,

03:30and even dicier manoeuvres for the pit lane.

03:34That looked like an unsafe release.

03:36I think, yeah, that was an unsafe release.

03:38I'm sure that's going to be popping up and out timing screen at some point,

03:42and then it is, oh, that was okay, I would say, with the Mercedes.

03:45Need to see another angle of that.

03:47It was the Ferrari.

03:48It was the Ferrari further back of Leclerc.

03:51And Hamilton on the median.

03:52Here's the other Williams of Carlos Sainz making his way past Yuki Tsunoda's red ball.

03:58It's the 13th position.

03:59Again, this guy touched me like it.

04:04So, let's have a look.

04:07You've got to have a significant part of your car alongside, as he did.

04:12He's on an absolute mission.

04:13Has DRS this time against Hadjar.

04:15He's a little bit far back, maybe, to make the move,

04:17but he didn't look at the straight-line speed advantage.

04:19He goes around the outside, and he's done it.

04:22It's two from two for Lewis Hamilton.

04:24First, it was Antonelli, and now it is Hadjar up into the top five.

04:30Hadjar won't be able to defend using DRS.

04:34He's not close enough to the back of the car in front.

04:37That's Lewis Hamilton.

04:38So, Charles Leclerc gets the DRS closely on the hook.

04:41Hadjar tries to defend, sweeps out to the outside line.

04:44Leclerc darts down the inside, and the Ferrari ahead of the racing force.

04:50It's going to be a torture, but it's like luckiest driver in the world.

05:00He's still got the passion, hasn't he, after all these years?

05:03Well, Kimi Antonelli is out of this race.

05:05The boy from Bologna on home soil showed his school class around here on Thursday.

05:11The omens have not been strong enough for Antonelli,

05:14but what is that going to do to this race?

05:16Let's just see and hear what happened to Antonelli coming through Villeneuve.

05:32For the referee, Isaac Hadjar, Nico Hülkenberg, too.

05:36I'm looking to see if we can finish at the points or not.

05:40And I'm not being pessimistic.

05:42The stars are great, and it's really, really difficult to do stuff.

05:46I see Oskar's tyres are pretty dead.

05:51If we want any chance of trying to go for the lead,

05:53then I guess we know what to do.

05:55I'm not asking you to let me die, I'm just saying.

05:58Let's not make it too hard for one another, that's all.

06:01We fight, I think, to go backwards.

06:02I'm just going to see a replay of this, of Norris.

06:06Look how far back he came, but that was the closer he had been.

06:09That's all he needed.

06:10The DRS combination with a bit of slipstream around the outside on the braking zone.

06:14And that was close, so close.

06:17Piastri a bit of oversteer for good measure.

06:19Looked like maybe they even momentarily touched there.

06:23From right wing perhaps, but either way,

06:25precision driving from the two McLarets.

06:29Here comes Alex Albon.

06:30What does Leclerc do?

06:31Moves to the inside.

06:32Once again, forcing the car to the outside.

06:34But later on the brakes, is there going to be contact?

06:37Oh, so close.

06:37Albon has to bail out over the gravel.

06:40Rally style keeps it together.

06:43Rejoins on the track,

06:44but loses out to the second Ferrari

06:47as Hamilton goes through.

06:49Albon, in the blink of an eye,

06:51staring at four, now in six.

06:54Lewis was always going to be on the attack there.

06:57Saw the opportunity.

06:58This is what usually happens

06:59when a driver tries to go around the outside of Tamburello.

07:02Now, is there contact?

07:04There would have been, though, if he hadn't failed.

07:06That was the first.

07:10I want to see how much of his car was actually alongside

07:13before it turns a difficult one to see there.

07:16Pretty much side by side, wasn't it?

07:19Should he be given the room?

07:22I'll tell you what.

07:23Personally, the rulebook says

07:26you have to have more of your car

07:27along further ahead

07:29if you're the overtaker on the outside.

07:32I feel like Leclerc just about

07:34had the authority of the corner.

07:36Leclerc and Albon, that investigation

07:38has come to a...

07:40is under investigation, as you can see,

07:42for forcing a driver off the track.

07:44Leclerc told to give back the position.

07:45Is he going to do it?

07:47He's got him anywhere, I think.

07:48And Albon's out on the inside.

07:49Albon thinking he's making the racing move

07:51through Tamburello.

07:53But Leclerc then letting Albon through.

07:55Racing, but also wary of a penalty

07:57maybe coming his way.

07:58That now should not stand.

08:00But he is under investigation still.

08:02That's how racing is now.

08:06When you count fast, you need to lead fast.

08:08This is a...

08:09What did I do wrong?

08:11Well, but for Max Verstappen,

08:13who sees the chequered flag in sight.

08:16What a race for the Dutchman,

08:18who makes it four wins in a row in Imola.

08:22Lando Norris crosses the line in second,

08:26chasing down his rival,

08:28but in the end, six seconds adrift.

08:30And Oscar Piastri, having started on pole,

08:33the race not going his way,

08:35having to work hard at it,

08:36manages to come home with a podium

08:38and extends his championship lead.

09:06So let's do it.
