00:00Toro Rosso with broken steering this weekend.

00:02Yeah, slightly worrying, isn't it?

00:04They've had two suspension problems

00:06because this is not a track with big curves.

00:08Massa passes.

00:10And again, another chance to see that.

00:12The man wrestling with the right rear tyre there.

00:15And, well, just missed it.

00:17That one pull.

00:19But that unity pounced down the inside.

00:21That was brilliant driving by Button.

00:23Well, Button's been really aggressive.

00:25I told you it was like Formula Ford racing

00:26and then because he spins the wheels up on the kerb,

00:28a little bit of oversteer there on the cull tyres.

00:31And two seconds behind Grosjean.

00:36A superb move by Jenson Button.

00:39Moves him up into sixth place ahead of Romain Grosjean.

00:43Riding with him here again.

00:44Tim, talk us through this.

00:45Yeah, he's done this move before.

00:47It just spots it up the inside

00:49because the line into that corner, the racing line,

00:51is on the outside to cut in late.

00:53And he'd be focusing here on Felipe Massa now.

00:56And an absolute flyer tries to get around the outside of Kimi Räikkönen.

01:01Surely he can't make that move stick.

01:02No, comprises the line.

01:04And Räikkönen, no, just makes a little mistake.

01:06Gets a wheel onto the kerbs.

01:07Watch the kerbs on the right-hand side.

01:09Yeah, he just couldn't quite stop the car enough

01:11as he tried to put the power down.

01:13He ran wide.

01:13And that was all the chance that Massa needed.

01:17In fact, that was giving Kimi a taste of his own medicine

01:19because he did that himself earlier, didn't he?

01:22Well, there's another replay of it.

01:23And Kimi just fighting for traction there off the corner.

01:27Loses the ground to here and up it.

01:29Here we go on the straights.

01:30DRS being employed.

01:32Kerr's being employed.

01:34Vettel goes to the inside.

01:36Hamilton breaks hard on the middle of the track,

01:39a little bit to the right.

01:40He's through and passed.

01:42Look at that.

01:43Really had the speed at the end of the straight.

01:45I think, actually, Vettel lost speed there.

01:47I would have loved to have seen the digital readout

01:49to the car's speed

01:50because I fear that Sebastian Vettel had a problem.

01:54I wonder if he's got a curse issue.

01:56Yeah, maybe he has.

01:57He was a lot slower than we've seen in previous...

01:59Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso, fastest lap.

02:02This is great driving by Jensen.

02:04He goes to the outside, brakes on the racing line.

02:06He gives room to Kimi but hangs him out

02:09because he knows the next corner's a right-hander.

02:12He's going to be on the racing line.

02:14That was really good driving by both of them

02:16to give each other room

02:17but race fair and side-by-side without hitting.

02:23Well, that is absolutely perfect.

02:26Millimeter-perfect racing by both drivers.

02:29And all credit there

02:30because Jensen Button left racing room for Kimi Räikkönen.

02:32Kimi Räikkönen, well, he pushed

02:34but left racing room as well.

02:37And that is why both of those drivers

02:39raise in nature of some tracks.

02:41Meanwhile, Romain Grosje, well, he's demonstrating

02:43that it's sort of lacks friction sometimes.

02:46Yeah, that won't be...

02:47He'll be annoyed with...

02:48...

02:49...

02:50...

02:51...

02:53...
