00:20I am not sure what it is but it is not good.

00:25It is a great day.

00:30I am not sure what it is.

00:35I am not sure what it is.

00:42I am not sure what it is.

03:47I don't...

03:48He had a new set of soft tyres available to him, Max Verstappen.

03:52I'm not quite sure why the medium were the better option.

03:55They put...

03:56Charles Leclerc coming now round...

03:59Oh, Charles Leclerc's gone out.

04:00Gone right and gone out.

04:02Leclerc has gone into the barriers at the penultimate turn.

04:06And a second Ferrari in the space of two races here in the German Grand Prix has ended up...

04:11Try and keep off the kerbs if you can.

04:14Oh, he had a tiny bit of understeer and now it's just going to skate straight into the barriers.

04:22It wasn't exactly pushing that hard.

04:25It just snapped to the back.

04:26He had to counter-steer to turn into the slide.

04:29And now he's on the skating rink, the drag strip.

04:32He managed to keep going.

04:34Our race leader now into the pits needs a new front wing.

04:39Yeah, coming in.

04:40Valtteri Bottas takes the lead of this race.

04:46They weren't ready for him.

04:47They weren't expecting him.

04:48They didn't know it happened.

04:49They had no idea that it's happened.

04:52Well, they weren't ready for him because he's only come in because of that accident.

04:55And I think now they're going to look to get maybe intermediate tyres on as well.

05:00They're scrambling around all the while Lewis Hamilton's losing out.

05:03Valtteri Bottas takes the lead.

05:05Verstappen now goes into second place.

05:07Hülkenberg has just pitted again.

05:09And moves up into third place.

05:11Whilst they still work on the car of Lewis Hamilton.

05:15Who was cruising, it seemed, out in front.

05:18But in one split second, Leclerc goes.

05:20And Hamilton's chances of victory looks like they're going as well.

05:23They've got to make sure they get the right tyres on it.

05:26That they're not Bottas' tyres, for example.

05:28Correct.

05:28We've got a mixture of tyres on that car at the moment.

05:31And now we've got Inter's back on it now.

05:33That's what they're doing.

05:34They're changing their mind on the tyres.

05:36And of course, when you've got to change the nerve...

05:38...that they must adhere to.

05:39Hamilton's going to have a go on Almont, is he?

05:41It's just a bit too far back on this occasion.

05:43We'll switch through and take that very tight inside line out of the hairpin.

05:48Lewis Hamilton getting past Alex Almont.

05:50Been held up by the Toro Rosso.

05:52Going wheel to wheel and then ahead is now...

05:54Valtteri Bottas right on the tail of Nico Hülkenberg as well.

05:58Whatever Hamilton was doing behind a safety car or stewards, I don't think like it.

06:02That's why they're looking into it.

06:03And that's normally won't be that exciting.

06:05It won't be a slow motion reboot that we don't need.

06:07It might be informative.

06:08There goes Bottas on Nico Hülkenberg to the hairpin.

06:12Down the inside.

06:13Hülkenberg gives that one up.

06:15Doesn't really fight it.

06:16Such was the pace difference between the Mercedes and the Renault.

06:19That's worked out beautifully for Verstappen that heavy, aren't they?

06:22The amount of investment that goes into those.

06:25That's why we're seeing two-second pit stops.

06:27Absolutely extraordinary.

06:29If you like a power tool, they are a great power tool.

06:32They really are.

06:33And this was Nico Hülkenberg's skating away.

06:35So he got back on the throttle because he felt he got it under control.

06:38Realised he hadn't.

06:40And hit the brakes.

06:41I think if he'd have left the wheels just turning, he may have found enough grip.

06:45He's up to eighth place already.

06:47Look at the difference in the tyres.

06:49That's helping out Verstappen.

06:50But Hamilton in a bit of trouble here.

06:52And Alex Albon will go around the outside.

06:54Gasly and Sainz waiting behind.

06:56Sainz goes down the inside.

06:58Now wheel to wheel with Lewis Hamilton.

07:01Albon has lost down.

07:02Gasly's waiting to have a go at him.

07:04Sainz couldn't quite get past the Mercedes.

07:06Hamilton must have had some kind of issue in turns two and three.

07:09Because that pack was right on his tail the time he arrived at six.

07:13Down the inside.

07:14Roll.

07:14With Danny Kriac right behind him.

07:16And there's Danny Kriac's team mate Alex Albon on a slick tyre.

07:19Getting round Pierre Gasly forces Gasly White.

07:23And does a very nice move indeed to take seventh place down at the hairpin.

07:28Two.

07:29I was having a chat with Lauren Stroll yesterday.

07:32And I was saying you know.

07:34If Mercedes wants something.

07:36Do you have.

07:36Never know.

07:39Oh dear.

07:40Where is it going?

07:40Well at least they're still running.

07:46Which is not something you could say after Silverstone last time out.

07:49But they obviously.

07:50Neither of them have listened to the words of Gunter Stein.

07:53And.

07:54Oh that's sliding out.

07:55That's Valtteri Bottas.

07:56Bottas is out of the race.

07:58Safety car.

07:59And this 200th Formula 1 Grand Prix for Mercedes is what they will want to forget in a place at the moment.

08:10And Valtteri is out.

08:12Valtteri Bottas is going to be the same thing I guess.

08:14He's going to touch a bit of water.

08:15He runs a bit wide.

08:17It's the same spin that Lewis had but it sort of materialised in a different way.

08:21And boom.

08:22It's a nice entry and maybe an exit as well.

08:35Through turns three and four.

08:37Five is just a kink.

08:38The foot is flat to recall.

08:40For Sebastian Vettel.

08:41Love strong.

08:42Defends down the inside.

08:43Goes very early to defend.

08:45But is powerless to defend.

08:46The speed of the Ferrari carries.

08:49Because the homegrown hero is up into the podium.

08:51And they're going wide out Gasly.

08:54There's a problem there with his front wing.

08:57He tried to overtake.

08:58And I think he just runs into the back of him as he pulls to the right.

09:01No.

09:02No.

09:05So Albon went for the defence.

09:07And Gasly was going to the right.

09:09They both went right together.

09:11He didn't lose that position to Albon before.

09:14He was on the attack around turnators.

09:16Danny Kriot was in second place.

09:19Listen to the route.

09:20And his home Grand Prix this time around.

09:23He's replicating Juan Pablo Montoya from 2005.

09:27Going from 20th all the way up into second place.

09:31See how he did it.

09:31Best place on the circuit.

09:32If you're in a red Ferrari to overtake cars.

09:34They've been so fast here all week.

09:36We've been talking about it.

09:38And this is what the Mercedes couldn't do.

09:40They had the same straight line speed.

09:41Extend his run of top five finishes to 20 in a row.

09:45Who rounds the final corner from front row to victory.

09:50And victory to win the German Grand Prix.

09:53And it's fireworks and flames for Max Verstappen.

09:56The winner of the German Grand Prix.

09:59But give this man a huge hand.

10:02Sebastian Vettel from 20th to 2nd.

10:05And keep the applause going for Danny Kriot outside.

10:09And the big Red Bull team.

10:11Well done to all concern.

10:13And without doubt, Crofty, the most powerful and important podium that guy's had in his entire career.

10:19As silly season's just about to kick off in full swing.

10:22Danny Kriot has timed that perfectly.

10:24Well, Mercedes celebrated at their home race.

10:28And in the end, Toro Rosso, Ferrari and Red Bull stopped the juggernauts that was Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton for this.
