00:00...Rosa's demise from the starting grid, and the five red lights illuminate as they go out.

00:06The fourth running of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is go.

00:10Good start from Lewis Hamilton, slow away, and that gives Pastor Maldonado an opportunity.

00:15Both he and a flying Kimi Räikkönen bundled down to fourth place,

00:20and that is Paul De Resta and Bruno Senna.

00:23There is the fourth India of Hulkenberg being winched out of the way.

00:26Yep, and so up at the front, Hamilton leads Räikkönen by us to eighth place.

00:33Here's a replay at the start.

00:34Look to the right-hand side.

00:35Mark Webber's very, very slow to get away, and Räikkönen gets straight around him

00:40as Webber covers the inside line to make sure Alonso doesn't come past

00:44and instead runs Jensen but not wide.

00:47Further back, there's a contact between Nick Hulkenberg and there's a Sauber in there as well, wasn't it?

00:53Just watch the middle of the screen.

00:54And Hulkenberg, oh, he actually tapped De Resta.

00:57Oh, that's a real shame.

00:59The two Force Indias colliding and also driving into Sauber and Bruno Senna.

01:05And also the absence of straight line speed for the Red Bull making life really, really difficult.

01:09Here we can see it.

01:10This isn't with DRS.

01:12This is pure straight line performance on the opening lap.

01:14And there you can see Mark Webber's car just lacking straight line speed

01:18and allowing Fernando Alonso to drive right around him.

01:21Yeah, as Alex Hulkenberg said in race day, you know, the Red Bull's aim was just Petrov that we didn't get to see earlier on.

01:29And he just easily drives past in there.

01:32And is he going to get blocked as well?

01:34Yes, he does.

01:35So, Vettel, he's now cleared all those Masolo six cars from the new.

01:40It's very comparable to the guys up ahead.

01:43You know, the likes of Maldonado, a 48-6, and Rijka.

01:46Oh, big shot there.

01:48That is a Mercedes and a HR reaction.

01:52That's a huge accident for Nico Rosberg.

01:54That was Nico Rosberg trying to work his sway past, I think, Pedro de la Rosa.

01:59Rosberg differential.

02:01I am sure you'll see between Rosberg and Carthacane.

02:04And maybe there's just something.

02:05Oh, yeah, he just completely did not realize how much quicker he was going to be.

02:10And that was big air.

02:11That was a potentially very dangerous accident.

02:14And, again, all credit to the circuit design here for mitigating the consequences.

02:19Wow, I don't know what happened there.

02:21I don't know if Narenka was trying to get out of the way and Nico just misunderstood.

02:27So, so lucky to go over the HRD and not cloud Narenka on the head there.

02:33Very, very lucky for Narenka to get and Nico Rosberg.

02:38That could have been a lot, lot worse.

02:40It's a strange one.

02:41He's coming on the long straight towards the 9-10 chicane.

02:46He goes all the way for the inside line and gets past Piku's all the way on the right-hand side of our screen.

02:52On the brakes, gets the car stopped.

02:55But Grosjean still on the right.

02:56Look out for him.

02:57Here he comes.

02:58And Petal earlier on the throttle and has to...
