00:00:00Pole position, Jerome D'Ambrosio in the red and black Dragon car.
00:00:03It's the yellow and blue Renault alongside him of Nico Prost.
00:00:06Then it's all apt on row number two with Lucas Di Grassi starting third,
00:00:10Daniel Apt in fourth, championship leader starting fifth.
00:00:13All five lights are on and we go green in Mexico City.
00:00:17And let's see who gets the best start on the run down towards turn number one.
00:00:20Sam Bird looking at the inside of Sarrazan.
00:00:22D'Ambrosio's got the lead covered and Apt and Di Grassi are so close to each other.
00:00:26We're going almost three wide at the back.
00:00:28Will everyone make it through? Only a few drivers cutting the corner.
00:00:31That was super, super clean. Conway almost pushed into the wall.
00:00:35But D'Ambrosio is the man who from pole position has managed to hold the lead of the race.
00:00:39But Prost is all over the back of him. Di Grassi up into third place.
00:00:42And look at that, around the outside a bit of contact there as Sebastian Buemi tries to go around the outside.
00:00:47A bit of a traffic jam coming up further back.
00:00:50Everyone though seems to have emerged reasonably unscathed.
00:00:53Scott Speed, perfect start for D'Ambrosio and a pretty safe opening lap as well as they come into the stadium for the first time.
00:01:00Very respectful from everyone through the first corner.
00:01:02They all know the deal. They've got to be safe right now.
00:01:04There's a long race, 43 laps. A lot's going to happen.
00:01:08Now let's just see, now they can settle in.
00:01:10The first five laps here are important because you're either going to use way too much energy or not enough.
00:01:14And after that, you'll get into your groove and it'll all start shaking out.
00:01:18Nico Prost makes a small mistake coming through the final chicane as they come out to complete lap one.
00:01:23Will that put him under pressure from this man, Lucas Di Grassi, who's running in third position.
00:01:27Down the start finish straight into turn one again.
00:01:30But Prost seems to have it covered.
00:01:31He went in a little too hot into that final chicane as they bounce through turn numbers one and two.
00:01:37And then out through turn three, the long right-hander that is part of the oval circuit that they use here for Mexican NASCAR championships.
00:01:44Robin Fraintz has got in front of his teammate, Simone de Silvestro.
00:01:47And de Silvestro is now under attack from Antonio Felix da Costa.
00:01:50But the biggest pressure, I think, is on Nico Prost at the moment.
00:01:54Di Grassi is looking racy.
00:01:55Yeah, and that's just giving Jerome a little bit of free space right now, letting him have some clean running.
00:02:00But these guys know in these first five laps, if you're going to make a move, it's going to be now.
00:02:04Yeah, absolutely.
00:02:04So who they come into this triple left-hander in the stadium section, the Foro de Sol, the Forum of the Sun,
00:02:12which is home to the Mexican City, the Mexico City Red Devils, the most successful baseball team in this country.
00:02:18And look at that.
00:02:19D'Ambrosio has got a bit of an advantage and at the moment 1% more usable energy.
00:02:23That's what that percentage means on the left-hand side of the screen as we look at it.
00:02:26So things have gone pretty well for D'Ambrosio on this opening lap or two.
00:02:31They come out to complete lap number two.
00:02:34And really, you've got to break away from really the top six, I think.
00:02:37Loic Duval is at the back of this break.
00:02:39And Jean-Erik Verne has lost a lot of positions on that last lap.
00:02:42He came through six and he's now right at the back.
00:02:44So a problem for Jean-Erik Verne.
00:02:46His teammate Sam Bird has just set the fastest lap of the race.
00:02:48Here is Verne right at the back now.
00:02:50So I don't know what happened to him.
00:02:51Oh, he's going straight on there.
00:02:52That wasn't in the plan, was it?
00:02:55No, that wasn't intentional.
00:02:58So D'Ambrosio leads.
00:02:59Six-tenths of a second clear at the moment.
00:03:01And we've got a bit of a hide-felt train as they come down towards turn number seven, lap three of 43.
00:03:08So let's just settle down because there's a long way to go.
00:03:11And Formula usually kicks into life sooner rather than later.
00:03:14But at the moment, it's Linus Stern up at the front.
00:03:16Sam Bird looking really racy behind Stefan Sarazan as they swing through the left-hander at turn 10.
00:03:22Oh, there's a bit of debris there on the runoff at turn 12, on the exit of turn 12.
00:03:26That's why we've got to wave the yellow flag there.
00:03:29But there you can see the order on the left-hand side.
00:03:31No real changes.
00:03:32Oh, straight on goes Daniel Apt.
00:03:34He's going to get back on in front of Buemi.
00:03:37Yes, he will.
00:03:38So we'll see what happens there.
00:03:40Buemi might be close enough on the run down towards turn one.
00:03:43He's going to look to the inside line.
00:03:45But Daniel Apt will try and cover.
00:03:46Buemi looks to the outside line and goes through around the outside.
00:03:49Great move from Sebastian Buemi.
00:03:51Nothing Daniel Apt could do.
00:03:53And you'd have thought Apt would have been able to hold that with the inside line.
00:03:56Yeah, well, with him going through the chicane in the corner before,
00:03:59I'm not quite sure what Apt, what the proper, let's say, move would have been in that case anyways.
00:04:05He's probably going to end up having to give that position back either way.
00:04:09Yeah, that's true.
00:04:10He was behind him.
00:04:11Sorry, he was in front of Buemi, but definitely gained an advantage by going straight over.
00:04:17Now here we come, the top three again into the stadium.
00:04:21Swinging through the left-handers.
00:04:24Pretty close, that second and third battle.
00:04:26And Daniel Apt, I think, from a team perspective, he will be feeling a little bit like he may have let the team down.
00:04:33Here's the fan boost at the moment.
00:04:34Jean-Erik Verne is in third place.
00:04:36Fourth is Sam Bird.
00:04:38And there's only 2% between them.
00:04:40And voting doesn't finish until seven minutes into the race.
00:04:43So we've probably still got another three or four minutes to go.
00:04:47It's just a long train right now.
00:04:49No one is really able to make a move on many people.
00:04:52I think they're all pretty much settled in.
00:04:54Lap time is just now starting to come down for your top five running in the mid-106s.
00:04:59Okay, so Sebastian Buemi has just set the fastest lap of the race, in fact, to 1 minute 6.4.
00:05:04But it's not that much quicker than D'Ambrosio.
00:05:07Lucas Di Grassi is being told by his team constantly on the radio to adjust his brake bias.
00:05:14So, see whether that makes any difference to his pace.
00:05:18But at the moment, D'Ambrosio, Prost, Di Grassi are the top three.
00:05:22And you can see the battery percentage, the amount of usable energy remaining in that tower on the left-hand side.
00:05:28And once that gets down to 0%, you've got to come into pits and change over.
00:05:33So, yeah, fairly line of stern at the moment.
00:05:35But Di Grassi is the man who's looking most racy.
00:05:38But Nico Prost is not going to make it easy for him at all, is he?
00:05:41Yeah, to me, Di Grassi's got a really fast car.
00:05:46He's certainly being held up right now.
00:05:47The question is how much is he able to save right now for maybe potentially making a move later.
00:05:52Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:53Out they come over the start-finish line once more.
00:05:56You can see the power that they're using on the right-hand side.
00:05:58Di Grassi hitting the full 170.
00:06:01Da Costa has got a 10-second pit stop time penalty.
00:06:05He's running now in 14th position anyway.
00:06:09So, not the greatest of runs for Da Costa.
00:06:12He did start in Venice to him in 17th.
00:06:14So, he's made up some places.
00:06:15Nelson Piquet all on his own at the back.
00:06:171.6 seconds off the rest of the pack.
00:06:20Meanwhile, second-place man, Nico Prost.
00:06:24It's all...
00:06:26To Silvestro, really close to the wall.
00:06:27And Di Silvestro, I think, is back in front of Robin Freintz.
00:06:32Yes, so Di Silvestro back into 10th place in front of her Andretti teammate Robin Freintz there.
00:06:38The Da Costa penalty is for working on the car under Park Fermet regulations.
00:06:43Which is an interesting one because they changed the gearbox.
00:06:46So, maybe they changed other things that they weren't allowed to change.
00:06:49Must have been what they were doing on the grid.
00:06:50And, you know, while they're on the grid, they're still having to make changes to that car to get a race ready.
00:06:54Yeah, absolutely.
00:06:55So, how much of a difference can you...
00:06:58When you're in a train like this, you were very good at it in Miami, using the energy well.
00:07:03Surely, everybody, though, is, you know, much of a muchness in terms of energy saving.
00:07:08You just have to...
00:07:08If you're the faster car, you just have to make the decision.
00:07:11Do I try to use more energy and make a pass?
00:07:13Or do I just, you know, use my speed and coast more and save the energy so I can potentially make that pass later?
00:07:20Lap 7 of 43 at the moment.
00:07:23It's Robin...
00:07:24Well, Robin Freintz and Floet Duval who have the most usable energy remaining.
00:07:28D'Ambrosio has just set the fastest lap of anyone.
00:07:30Our race leader to try and keep ahead of Nico Prost.
00:07:34And then third on...
00:07:35Third position is Lucas Di Grassi with Buemi in fourth place.
00:07:39Is...
00:07:39Is that going to feel like he...
00:07:41Not let his team down.
00:07:42Maybe that's a bit harsh.
00:07:43But one of his primary jobs must have been to keep Buemi behind him.
00:07:48I mean, we're seven laps into the race.
00:07:50It's a long race to go.
00:07:51He's going to, you know, have plenty of opportunities there.
00:07:53It's not like he's losing the pack.
00:07:54He's staying right there.
00:07:56You know, from an energy standpoint, it looks like they're all really similar.
00:08:01What we don't know is how many laps they're planning on going.
00:08:03Yeah, that's very true.
00:08:04If potentially one of these guys is planning on going one whole extra lap,
00:08:07then that could change the whole picture.
00:08:09Lap 8 of 43 here in the Mexico City, Ypres.
00:08:12Heading down into turn one.
00:08:13Beard of a lockup behind from Daniel Lap.
00:08:15And he's gone straight on there again.
00:08:17Is he going to get through?
00:08:18Alan Prost there has got 119 beats per minute at the moment.
00:08:22His heart rate, mine was a little bit higher than that,
00:08:24as Daniel Lap skipped across the chicane.
00:08:26And has he lost the position?
00:08:28No, he hasn't.
00:08:28He's managed to keep it.
00:08:29But that's the second time he's skipped over a chicane in this race.
00:08:33And as a result, he's dropped a little bit off the back.
00:08:37Then it's Duval in sixth.
00:08:38Heidfeld seventh.
00:08:40Sarazan, Bird, De Silvestro, Freint's the top 11.
00:08:43Stavridor drowns up into 12th place.
00:08:44The Mexican driver, as the cars come through the stadium complex once again.
00:08:50Heidfeld running out a little bit wide.
00:08:51Here's a replay.
00:08:51I'm thinking this might be Degrassi.
00:08:54Oh, you're absolutely right.
00:08:56No, it was Daniel Lap.
00:08:58No, it's Degrassi.
00:08:58You're right.
00:08:59It's Degrassi.
00:09:00Yeah, sorry.
00:09:01My apologies.
00:09:01Obviously, he didn't gain any time, but he also didn't lose any either.
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:05Which was convenient that that hole was there.
00:09:08Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:09Otherwise, we'd have ended up like Nelson Piquet in qualifying one,
00:09:14where he plowed through the tech pro barriers.
00:09:16So, my apologies to Daniel Lap.
00:09:18That was Lucas Degrassi who locked up, coming down into,
00:09:21what is a tricky first corner.
00:09:23I mean, you drove the car yesterday.
00:09:25How difficult was it at the first corner?
00:09:29Yeah, it's difficult because these chicanes are coming into,
00:09:32you're trying to turn the car as well.
00:09:34So, whenever you're trying to turn the car in
00:09:36and really have a hard braking zone like that,
00:09:38things are tricky.
00:09:39So, a lot of variables involved,
00:09:41and sometimes you snag a wheel, get a little lockup,
00:09:44and then the whole picture changes.
00:09:45Yeah, absolutely.
00:09:46A few of you are asking on hashtag Mexicoipri,
00:09:49what happened with Jean-Erik Verne.
00:09:51We're not entirely sure.
00:09:52He was running up in sixth position
00:09:54and then dropped all the way down to 16th.
00:09:56So, perhaps an error out there on the circuit somewhere.
00:09:59But these are our race leaders
00:10:01as we stick with the helicopter for the whole lap.
00:10:02This is the Peraltada corner,
00:10:04the famous corner,
00:10:05which now has a chicane in the middle.
00:10:07But that was the amount of runoff you used to have back in the day.
00:10:09Absolutely crazy.
00:10:10As they come now out over through the final corner
00:10:13to complete, or to start, lap number 10.
00:10:17And it's Jerome D'Ambrosio who's leading the way.
00:10:20Six-tenths of a second clear of Nico Prost
00:10:22with Degrassi in third spot at the moment.
00:10:24Then we've got Buemi.
00:10:26Then we've got Daniel Lapp.
00:10:29Then there's the gap back to Duval.
00:10:31Heidfeld.
00:10:32We've got quite a close battle
00:10:33between Mike Conway and Stavridor Duran,
00:10:37which is looking a bit spicy.
00:10:39As is Oliver Turvey versus Jean-Erik Verne versus Bruno Senna.
00:10:42Here's the Conway-Duran battle
00:10:44over 12th position at the moment.
00:10:46Is Conway going to have a look coming through
00:10:48up the inside into the chicane?
00:10:50I don't think he's quite going to be close enough,
00:10:52but couldn't be much closer.
00:10:55He's in a bit of a golf aguri sandwich here
00:10:58with Antonio Felix da Costa up behind him.
00:11:01Da Costa with a very wobbly...
00:11:02In fact, that front wing's come away.
00:11:04Most of that front wing's come away there, hasn't it?
00:11:06Yeah, that's potential trouble right there.
00:11:08Yeah, you don't want that to come away
00:11:09and get stuck under your front wheels.
00:11:12So, see what happens
00:11:14as the race progresses for Antonio Felix da Costa
00:11:17as they come through turn number 13 now.
00:11:21And the amount of vibrations and the bumps on this circuit
00:11:23aren't going to be helping that at all.
00:11:27Onto the brakes, into the chicane.
00:11:29Is that going to...
00:11:31Is he going to know that that wing's wobbling?
00:11:33Yeah, you're able to see the front wing in the car.
00:11:36You're definitely going to be able to see
00:11:37the two outside pods moving back and forth.
00:11:40And you'll certainly feel it.
00:11:41So, he knows it's not correct,
00:11:43but at this point, you know,
00:11:45he's thinking it's made it through a couple of laps.
00:11:47I'm just going to keep digging until there's a problem.
00:11:48Oh, Di Grassi.
00:11:48What's going on with Di Grassi here?
00:11:50He skips across the chicane
00:11:51and slots in behind Nico Pross.
00:11:53Has he made a mistake or did he try and attack?
00:11:56We'll try and find out for you.
00:11:58Sorry to cut across you there, Scott,
00:11:59but Lucas Di Grassi really pushing hard.
00:12:02And now he's got Sebastian Buemi
00:12:03all over the back of him.
00:12:05We'll try and get a hold of what happened
00:12:06to the Brazilian there.
00:12:09As they swing through the right-hander.
00:12:12Di Grassi running in third place still.
00:12:15He did set the fastest first sector of anyone,
00:12:17so he was certainly pushing.
00:12:20And as far as the fan boost is concerned,
00:12:22it is good news for Jean-Erik Verne.
00:12:25It's good news, of course, for Lucas Di Grassi,
00:12:27who has picked up the fan boost as well
00:12:29to use in the second car,
00:12:30and for Salvador Duran.
00:12:32Unsurprisingly, the Mexican driver
00:12:34winning the fan boost.
00:12:35So that means in their second car,
00:12:36they will get an extra boost of power
00:12:38when they decide to use it.
00:12:40Now Di Grassi is going to be
00:12:43under an awful lot of pressure
00:12:45from the Renault behind.
00:12:46Just laps remaining 11.
00:12:4811 laps remaining there,
00:12:49and this is Jean-Erik Verne
00:12:50going past Turby then.
00:12:51So Verne past Turby
00:12:52up into 15th position.
00:12:55Well, Verne will be very frustrated
00:12:56with how this is progressing
00:12:57having started in 6th place on the grid.
00:13:00One noticeable thing,
00:13:02you know, we've got Sam Bird
00:13:03running in 9th right now.
00:13:05He's doing the same lap times
00:13:06as the leaders,
00:13:07and the energy from pretty much
00:13:09the whole field is relatively the same.
00:13:11So it's really anybody's race
00:13:13at this point.
00:13:13If they can keep a relatively close gap
00:13:15to the cars in front of them,
00:13:16I think you're still going to see
00:13:17a lot of moves in the pit stop.
00:13:19Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:20We're expecting the pit stops
00:13:22to come about roughly lap 20 to 21,
00:13:26depending on how well you manage the energy,
00:13:28simply because they tend to go
00:13:29about half-race distance.
00:13:32We're on board.
00:13:33We were on board with Degrassi
00:13:34coming out through the final corner now
00:13:36with race leader Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:13:38only less than 4 tenths of a second
00:13:40clear of Nico Prost.
00:13:41This is the closest Prost has been
00:13:43in a while.
00:13:45And it's all starting to
00:13:46concertina up between the top four.
00:13:48There's Buemi, championship leader
00:13:49at the back.
00:13:52Then through the long right-hander
00:13:54they come.
00:13:56If things stayed like this,
00:13:57Buemi would still lead the championship
00:13:59but only by one point
00:14:00from Lucas Degrassi
00:14:02that we've still got a lot of racing to go.
00:14:04Buemi and Degrassi both
00:14:05setting purple first sector times
00:14:08or first sector times quicker
00:14:09than they've had before.
00:14:10There was a bit of side-by-side action
00:14:11at the chicane there.
00:14:12Looks as though one of the Venturis
00:14:13and the Mahindras were battling.
00:14:15That would have been
00:14:15Heidfeld and Sarazan potentially.
00:14:17So we'll keep an eye on that one.
00:14:21They now come out through turn 13.
00:14:24Back out of the baseball stadium
00:14:27once more.
00:14:28On board with Buemi,
00:14:29championship leader.
00:14:33Lifting.
00:14:33Target also.
00:14:35Advanced action.
00:14:37Okay, so there was Buemi
00:14:39being told the targets
00:14:41through the right-hander
00:14:45and out onto the start.
00:14:45And now onto the brakes
00:14:49and oh and
00:14:50well it looks as though
00:14:51I think D'Ambrosio
00:14:52just takes a narrower line
00:14:54into that first corner
00:14:55and obviously he's
00:14:56going to even more now
00:14:58I think.
00:14:58Black and orange
00:14:59meatball flag
00:15:00for Antonio Felix da Costa
00:15:01which means
00:15:02there's something wrong
00:15:03with your car.
00:15:03You've got to come into the pits
00:15:04and fix that please
00:15:05or we will disqualify you
00:15:07essentially.
00:15:08Look how close Degrassi is
00:15:09to the back of Nico Prost.
00:15:11This is a very tight
00:15:12four-way battle, isn't it?
00:15:14So if you're Degrassi in this
00:15:16what do you do?
00:15:18D'Ambrosio's just got to try
00:15:19and drive his race
00:15:19and react to any attacks
00:15:21but do you attack
00:15:22if you're Degrassi
00:15:23or does that open
00:15:23the opportunity for Buemi?
00:15:24You've got to wait
00:15:25for your moment.
00:15:26You've got to wait
00:15:27for the other person
00:15:28to make a mistake
00:15:28or to get in a situation
00:15:29with the car in front of him
00:15:30that opens the door.
00:15:31So right now
00:15:32he's doing what
00:15:33all racing guys are doing.
00:15:35They're waiting for a moment
00:15:36to make a move.
00:15:37Yep, absolutely.
00:15:39Into turn 13.
00:15:40Sorry, it's coming
00:15:41into the chicane
00:15:43and then out
00:15:44into the final corner again.
00:15:46Again, everybody
00:15:47on pretty similar
00:15:48energy management levels
00:15:50we're on board
00:15:51with Degrassi.
00:15:51You can see his throttle
00:15:52and his brakes
00:15:53down there.
00:15:54He's in third gear.
00:15:54Will he shift down
00:15:55one gear?
00:15:57Expecting him, yeah.
00:15:57It sounded like
00:15:58he shifted down one.
00:15:59Yeah.
00:16:00The three gears
00:16:01inside that apt car
00:16:03and this is the rear view
00:16:04of Nico Prost
00:16:05on the left-hand side
00:16:06as they come through
00:16:07turn number three
00:16:08in towards
00:16:10the second chicane.
00:16:11On the exit
00:16:16you can see how close
00:16:17Degrassi comes
00:16:19in the rear view
00:16:19camera
00:16:20and side-by-side action
00:16:22again between
00:16:23Bird and Heidfeld
00:16:24in the background
00:16:24so just to keep you
00:16:25up to date with that
00:16:26Heidfeld is seventh
00:16:27Bird is eighth
00:16:27so they've both
00:16:28managed to get past
00:16:29Sarazan
00:16:29in the Venturi
00:16:30who has dropped
00:16:31to ninth.
00:16:32Nick Heidfeld
00:16:33is a little bit weaker
00:16:34on usable energy
00:16:34as everyone else
00:16:36but this top five
00:16:37they are lapping
00:16:39pretty consistently
00:16:40and pretty evenly
00:16:42it's fantastic
00:16:42close competition
00:16:43Degrassi through
00:16:50the final chicane
00:16:51again
00:16:51so we've got
00:16:52maybe five or six
00:16:54laps before
00:16:55the pit stop window
00:16:56opens up
00:16:5764 seconds
00:16:58the minimum
00:16:59pit stop time
00:16:59and that's what's
00:17:02going to change
00:17:02everything right now
00:17:03I think a lot of
00:17:03these guys are also
00:17:04kind of playing it
00:17:05cool right now
00:17:05knowing that as soon
00:17:06as this pit stop
00:17:06happens
00:17:07you can very well
00:17:08go into the pit stop
00:17:09before come out
00:17:10first so
00:17:11and when you
00:17:12when you've come out
00:17:13and you're in the car
00:17:14oh look at Prost
00:17:15thinking about it
00:17:16thinking about it
00:17:17D'Ambrosio had to
00:17:18come across there
00:17:19and cover the inside
00:17:20line at the last
00:17:21minute
00:17:21look at how close
00:17:22they are
00:17:23big sideways moment
00:17:24there for Buemi
00:17:24on exit
00:17:25it seems as though
00:17:26once you get in
00:17:27your second car
00:17:28you know what you
00:17:29got to do then
00:17:29to get to the end
00:17:30of the race
00:17:31and it seems
00:17:31like it's a lot
00:17:32sort of more free
00:17:33in the second half
00:17:35for the race
00:17:35you know now
00:17:36it's all in your
00:17:36hands
00:17:36you don't have a pit
00:17:37stop to wait on
00:17:38and you can take
00:17:39the risks
00:17:39it's clear that
00:17:40these front five
00:17:41are all kind of
00:17:42doing that
00:17:43they're all kind of
00:17:43pacing Drome
00:17:44and not sort of
00:17:46forcing the move
00:17:47right now
00:17:47because they know
00:17:48they've got the pit
00:17:48stop coming
00:17:49but after that pit
00:17:49stop
00:17:50it's not going to
00:17:51be this quiet
00:17:51absolutely not
00:17:53so another
00:17:54drive-through penalty
00:17:55this time
00:17:56for Antonio
00:17:57Felix da Costa
00:17:58so a 10 place
00:17:59grid penalty
00:17:5910 second pit
00:18:00stop penalty
00:18:01and a drive-through
00:18:03penalty for the
00:18:04Portuguese driver
00:18:05I think it's safe
00:18:05to say
00:18:06not really his day
00:18:07he can't get
00:18:08no satisfaction
00:18:10today as they
00:18:10come down into
00:18:11the chicane
00:18:13once again
00:18:13lap 17 of 43
00:18:15Degrassi in the
00:18:17middle of this
00:18:18Renault sandwich
00:18:19and if he can just
00:18:20keep in front of
00:18:21as you were saying
00:18:22in the qualifying show
00:18:23earlier on Scott
00:18:24he's a championship
00:18:25driver
00:18:25if he can get
00:18:26another podium
00:18:27finish ahead of
00:18:28your main rival
00:18:28what more can you
00:18:29do
00:18:30he's going to
00:18:30play it smart
00:18:31he's doing
00:18:31everyone's playing
00:18:33you know
00:18:34the normal
00:18:36let's say race
00:18:37here
00:18:37they're all
00:18:37keeping it cool
00:18:38it seems like
00:18:40Jerome's probably
00:18:42not the quickest
00:18:42of the four cars
00:18:43out there right now
00:18:44and right now
00:18:45that's okay
00:18:45after the pit stops
00:18:47like I said
00:18:48I think it'll be
00:18:49a little bit more
00:18:49exciting
00:18:50yeah absolutely
00:18:50so lap 17 of 43
00:18:52then down through
00:18:53turn 13
00:18:54Buemi set the fastest
00:18:55first sector
00:18:55of anyone
00:18:56on this lap
00:18:57so far
00:18:57behind him
00:18:58you've got
00:18:59Robin Fraintz
00:19:00who's back in front
00:19:01of Simone de Silvestro
00:19:02in that
00:19:03Inter-Andretti battle
00:19:04but they're only
00:19:06separated by some
00:19:06four tenths of a second
00:19:07this is one of
00:19:08Simone's best showings
00:19:09actually
00:19:09in Formula E
00:19:10really matching
00:19:12Robin Fraintz
00:19:12as we go on board
00:19:14with Degrassi
00:19:15on the run down
00:19:16into turn one
00:19:17Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:19:18leading in the
00:19:19Red Dragon car
00:19:19Nico Prost in second
00:19:20in the blue and yellow
00:19:21Renault E-Dams machine
00:19:23then it's the third place
00:19:24car in front of us
00:19:25of Lucas Degrassi
00:19:26and we're on board
00:19:27with Sebastian Buemi
00:19:27championship leader
00:19:28the man who lost
00:19:29the championship
00:19:30by just one point
00:19:31last season
00:19:33to Nelson Piquet
00:19:34who meanwhile is
00:19:35last I'm afraid to say
00:19:38and Turvey is 16th
00:19:40so the XTV cars
00:19:41after showing
00:19:42quite good pace
00:19:42in practice
00:19:43are now right
00:19:44at the back
00:19:45of the pack again
00:19:45come through
00:19:48the stadium section
00:19:49once more
00:19:50a proper stadium section
00:19:51as well
00:19:51they swing out
00:19:55then through turn 12
00:19:56and then 13
00:19:57that takes them out
00:19:58onto the
00:19:59Peraltada
00:19:59then down towards
00:20:02the chicane
00:20:03getting on the brakes
00:20:06look how close
00:20:08Degrassi is
00:20:09he takes a lot of
00:20:09speed into the chicane
00:20:10but doesn't manage to
00:20:11keep it on the exit
00:20:12it seems
00:20:12I think it's just a
00:20:14little bit of the
00:20:14accordion effect
00:20:16you know they're all
00:20:17relatively going through
00:20:18they're the same pace
00:20:19you can't really do
00:20:21too much in a line
00:20:22like this
00:20:22you're mostly just
00:20:23trying to get good
00:20:24exits and protect
00:20:25yourself from the rear
00:20:26Loic Duval is all
00:20:28by himself
00:20:28he's four seconds
00:20:29behind this leading
00:20:30pack and six seconds
00:20:31in front of Nick
00:20:32Hydefelt
00:20:33so he's running
00:20:33in a very lonely
00:20:34sixth position
00:20:35for the Dragon team
00:20:36we go on board
00:20:37again with Buemi
00:20:38through the right
00:20:41and through the left
00:20:41and out towards
00:20:42turn number seven
00:20:43the 90 degree
00:20:44right-handed
00:20:44that brings you
00:20:45back into the stadium
00:20:46next up we've got
00:20:50the race in Long
00:20:51Beach, California
00:20:51in just three weeks
00:20:53time on the second
00:20:54of April
00:20:54and that's going to
00:20:55be a great event
00:20:56as it was last year
00:20:57but at the moment
00:20:59oh a little bit wide
00:21:00there for Buemi
00:21:01coming into ten
00:21:02and that has dropped
00:21:02him right off the
00:21:03back of Lucas
00:21:04Degrassi
00:21:05and put him under
00:21:05pressure from
00:21:06Daniel Apt
00:21:07so that's an
00:21:08interesting one for
00:21:09Buemi
00:21:09just the slightest
00:21:10mistake in a queue
00:21:11as tight as this
00:21:12really can have
00:21:13quite a big effect
00:21:14on you
00:21:15I think we're
00:21:19going to get
00:21:19I think we're
00:21:21going to get
00:21:26two more laps
00:21:26out of this one
00:21:27it tends to be
00:21:27seven or eight
00:21:28percent of energy
00:21:29a lap
00:21:30so I think
00:21:30this is the
00:21:31penultimate lap
00:21:31before we see
00:21:32the pit stop window
00:21:33and you'll want to
00:21:35close that gap
00:21:36back up to leaders
00:21:36by then for sure
00:21:37you're going to
00:21:37want to come into
00:21:38the pits
00:21:38as close as you
00:21:39can
00:21:39yeah absolutely
00:21:40and there you
00:21:42see Degrassi
00:21:43then on the brakes
00:21:44into the second
00:21:45chicane
00:21:46and it looks
00:21:47D'Ambrosio
00:21:48with the fast lap
00:21:49of the race
00:21:49that last lap
00:21:50right now
00:21:50stretching his legs
00:21:51a little bit
00:21:51yeah absolutely
00:21:52good spot
00:21:53and one minute
00:21:545.872
00:21:56for Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:21:57now Nick Heidfeld
00:21:58is running into
00:21:59a bit of usable
00:21:59energy troubles
00:22:00he's in seventh place
00:22:01at the moment
00:22:01he may have to pit
00:22:02a lap earlier
00:22:03than the rest
00:22:05of the guys
00:22:05out there
00:22:05I don't think
00:22:06he's going to
00:22:07have enough
00:22:07to get round again
00:22:08we'll have to wait
00:22:09and see
00:22:10but they are
00:22:10you know
00:22:11they're so meticulously
00:22:12planned
00:22:13these energy targets
00:22:14but if he's
00:22:153% down
00:22:16on everyone else
00:22:16that's a big
00:22:17chunk to save
00:22:18isn't it
00:22:18yeah it could be
00:22:19a different strategy
00:22:19yep absolutely
00:22:22get himself out
00:22:23in some clear air
00:22:24on board
00:22:24with Degrassi
00:22:25then
00:22:25we come through
00:22:27to complete
00:22:27the 20th lap
00:22:28of racing
00:22:29and D'Ambrosio
00:22:30again
00:22:30extending his advantage
00:22:32by another tenth
00:22:33of a second
00:22:34it goes up to
00:22:34just under
00:22:35a second now
00:22:36so he's starting
00:22:37the push I think
00:22:38exactly what he wants
00:22:39to do right before
00:22:40the pit stops
00:22:40give himself a little
00:22:41bit of a cushion
00:22:41and a little bit
00:22:42of buffer
00:22:42come back out
00:22:43in the lead
00:22:44in the next car
00:22:45and then the race
00:22:45is in your control
00:22:46meanwhile
00:22:47Jean-Erik Verne
00:22:48is up into 12th place
00:22:49now he's managed
00:22:49to get past
00:22:50Salvador Duran
00:22:51and here's Antonio
00:22:51Felix Da Costa
00:22:52attacking Sam Bird
00:22:53on the run down
00:22:54towards turn one
00:22:55but Da Costa's
00:22:57a lap down here
00:22:57actually
00:22:58Da Costa's been
00:22:59in the pits twice
00:23:00so yeah
00:23:02I'm not really sure
00:23:02why he's getting
00:23:03so involved
00:23:04in that fight
00:23:05but there you can see
00:23:05from the helicopter shot
00:23:06just the kind of
00:23:08margin that
00:23:09D'Ambrosio
00:23:09has managed
00:23:10to pull out
00:23:10Nick Heidfeld
00:23:11has set the fastest
00:23:12first sector
00:23:12of anyone
00:23:13but he's only got
00:23:134% of usable energy
00:23:15remaining
00:23:16this is going to be
00:23:16very very tight
00:23:17for Heidfeld
00:23:17are we going to see
00:23:18everyone else
00:23:19do one more lap
00:23:20by the looks of things
00:23:21and maybe Heidfeld
00:23:22pit this time around
00:23:23on a board
00:23:26on a board again
00:23:26on a board again
00:23:26with the rear view
00:23:27from Nico Cross
00:23:29and they stay out
00:23:30so this will be
00:23:31the final tour now
00:23:32around this
00:23:331.3 mile circuit
00:23:35and that shows us
00:23:37that it's about
00:23:37Laps 1
00:23:38Laps 1
00:23:39that's Laps 1
00:23:41until you come
00:23:42into the pits
00:23:42about 5 or 6%
00:23:43is what you need
00:23:44to get a lap
00:23:45done around here
00:23:45then
00:23:46and just waiting
00:23:48to check
00:23:49yes Nick Heidfeld
00:23:49has come into the pit
00:23:50so he's come in
00:23:51earlier than anyone
00:23:52and there's the look
00:23:53from Degrassi
00:23:54up the inside
00:23:54and he's waited
00:23:55until the final lap
00:23:56before the pit stop
00:23:57window
00:23:57to make the move
00:23:58on Nico Cross
00:23:59and move up
00:24:00into second position
00:24:00there it is
00:24:01surprise attack
00:24:02he must add a little
00:24:03bit more in the tank
00:24:04made good use of it
00:24:05yeah
00:24:06he's up into
00:24:09second place
00:24:09then Lucas Degrassi
00:24:10got slightly less
00:24:11usable energy
00:24:12than Nico Cross
00:24:13but at this point
00:24:14they've obviously
00:24:14decided
00:24:15they can
00:24:16afford to go
00:24:17for that move
00:24:18so that means
00:24:19that it's D'Ambrosio
00:24:20leading
00:24:21Degrassi up into second
00:24:22Nico Cross
00:24:23down to third
00:24:24fourth is still
00:24:25Sebastian Buemi
00:24:26fifth is still
00:24:27Daniel Apton
00:24:27in sixth place
00:24:28is Loic Duval
00:24:30before the pit stop
00:24:31window
00:24:31so are we going
00:24:35to see them all
00:24:35coming this time
00:24:36around
00:24:36yes we are
00:24:37now
00:24:3764 seconds
00:24:38minimum pit stop
00:24:39time
00:24:39all the
00:24:41as they really
00:24:43hammer on the brakes
00:24:43there
00:24:44now this is going
00:24:44to be a bit
00:24:44different as well
00:24:45as you see the
00:24:46clock counting
00:24:47on the left hand
00:24:47side
00:24:47because they're
00:24:48going to park
00:24:48the car
00:24:49outside of the
00:24:50garage
00:24:50and then jump
00:24:52into their other
00:24:52one inside the
00:24:53garage
00:24:53there's a bit
00:24:54of a run here
00:24:54for the guys
00:24:55so here we go
00:24:57who's going to
00:24:58come out
00:24:58in what order
00:24:59Degrassi pulls in
00:25:00so does
00:25:01D'Ambrosio
00:25:02oh a little stumble
00:25:05from Degrassi
00:25:05should have enough
00:25:06time though
00:25:07as D'Ambrosio
00:25:09gets strapped in
00:25:10out gets
00:25:12Sebastian Buemi
00:25:13from that
00:25:15fourth position
00:25:16in the race
00:25:17that's our race
00:25:19leader
00:25:19Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:25:20getting his straps
00:25:22done up
00:25:22the countdown's
00:25:24beginning
00:25:24who is going to
00:25:25get out of the pit
00:25:25lane here first
00:25:26Degrassi
00:25:28urging forward
00:25:29he wants to go
00:25:30as quickly as he
00:25:30can
00:25:30Buemi
00:25:31getting ready
00:25:31to go too
00:25:32away goes
00:25:34Degrassi
00:25:34Buemi waiting
00:25:36when's Buemi
00:25:37going to go
00:25:38not yet
00:25:39D'Ambrosio
00:25:39is out
00:25:40in the lead
00:25:41and it looks
00:25:42as though
00:25:42it's pretty much
00:25:43unchanged
00:25:43between the top
00:25:44five then
00:25:45so Buemi
00:25:46comes out
00:25:47behind
00:25:49the
00:25:50apt car
00:25:51of Degrassi
00:25:51and actually
00:25:52Prost is now
00:25:53behind Buemi
00:25:54so that's the
00:25:55change we've had
00:25:55I wonder if that
00:25:56was intentional
00:25:57do you think
00:25:57from the Renault
00:25:58team to get
00:25:59Buemi out
00:26:00in front of
00:26:00Nico Prost
00:26:02yeah
00:26:03hard to say
00:26:03I don't think
00:26:04they can have
00:26:06that much control
00:26:06to be honest
00:26:07with you
00:26:07they had a hard
00:26:08enough time
00:26:08I think
00:26:09just making sure
00:26:09they got their
00:26:10own car
00:26:10right
00:26:10it would be
00:26:11hard to have
00:26:11that kind
00:26:12of team order
00:26:12to be honest
00:26:13okay so
00:26:13everybody
00:26:14I think
00:26:15made the
00:26:16pit stop time
00:26:17as well
00:26:17yeah D'Ambrosio
00:26:18nailed it
00:26:18in 64 seconds
00:26:19as did Buemi
00:26:20but now Degrassi
00:26:21knows he's got
00:26:22a bit of track
00:26:23position
00:26:23and if he can
00:26:24get past
00:26:25D'Ambrosio
00:26:25he's got
00:26:26track advantage
00:26:27and a car
00:26:28between him
00:26:29and Buemi
00:26:29this is going
00:26:30to be
00:26:30a key couple
00:26:31of moments
00:26:31now for
00:26:32Lucas Degrassi
00:26:33can he attack
00:26:34the hot car
00:26:34he's looking
00:26:35very raced
00:26:35that thing
00:26:36looks extremely
00:26:36fast
00:26:37he's got
00:26:37fan boost
00:26:38as well
00:26:38Lucas Degrassi
00:26:39of course
00:26:39and he's using
00:26:40it now
00:26:41here comes
00:26:41Lucas Degrassi
00:26:42balance
00:26:42break
00:26:43balance
00:26:43pushes the fan boost
00:26:44and D'Ambrosio
00:26:45covers the inside line
00:26:47and Degrassi
00:26:47still tries to look
00:26:48to the inside line
00:26:49so close between them
00:26:50Degrassi locks up
00:26:51manages to get it
00:26:52stopped in time
00:26:53and takes the lead
00:26:54of the Mexico E3
00:26:55Degrassi into first place
00:26:57D'Ambrosio's coming
00:26:58back at him
00:26:59around the outside
00:27:00of turn three
00:27:01that's not going to be
00:27:01an overtaking opportunity
00:27:03as they then come
00:27:04into the right-handed
00:27:04chicane
00:27:05and so Degrassi
00:27:06has done it
00:27:07he's used the fan boost
00:27:08he's into the lead
00:27:09of the race
00:27:09that's exactly
00:27:10what he would have
00:27:11wanted
00:27:11picture perfect
00:27:12the last five laps
00:27:14for Degrassi
00:27:14absolutely
00:27:15so Degrassi
00:27:16really playing
00:27:17this strongly
00:27:18he was saying

00:27:20that you can watch
00:27:21back on the YouTube
00:27:22channel
00:27:22he regretted
00:27:24some of the ways
00:27:25he did things
00:27:26in Argentina
00:27:27he regretted
00:27:28he didn't attack
00:27:28enough
00:27:29and he has
00:27:29absolutely turned
00:27:30that on his head
00:27:31here
00:27:31and moved
00:27:32into the lead
00:27:32of the race
00:27:33now the pressure
00:27:33for D'Ambrosio
00:27:34is going to come
00:27:35from Buemi
00:27:35and the challenge
00:27:36for Buemi

00:28:13see why not

00:28:16yeah absolutely
00:28:18so this is all
00:28:19allowing Lucas
00:28:20Degrassi
00:28:20to extend

00:32:03in Long Beach
00:32:04in three weeks time
00:32:05but Buemi
00:32:05is not going to want
00:32:06to let that happen
00:32:07bit sideways
00:32:07in the middle of the corner
00:32:08there from D'Ambrosio
00:32:09yeah Buemi
00:32:11this is going to be
00:32:12a great opportunity here
00:32:131.30
00:32:14and they just told
00:32:15D'Ambrosio on the radio
00:32:16Buemi is going to look
00:32:17to the inside
00:32:18oh he's into the back of him
00:32:19they come together
00:32:20and they go both
00:32:21straight over the chicane
00:32:22Jesus he completely
00:32:23crashed into me
00:32:24D'Ambrosio furious with that
00:32:26it didn't look to me
00:32:27as though D'Ambrosio
00:32:28actually made too much
00:32:30of a move that time
00:32:30through
00:32:31they both got away
00:32:34with it
00:32:34let's see if
00:32:35yeah it's just a bit
00:32:36of nose damage
00:32:37for Sebastian Buemi
00:32:38and just a bit
00:32:39of rear pod damage
00:32:40and that is not
00:32:41a very happy
00:32:42Swiss driver there
00:32:43in third place
00:32:45I don't know man
00:32:46I don't see what D'Ambrosio
00:32:49could have done
00:32:49much different than that
00:32:50here we go
00:32:51so you're coming down
00:32:53D'Ambrosio kind of
00:32:54drives in the middle
00:32:55no Buemi turns left
00:32:57into him
00:32:58yeah this is
00:32:58that's pretty much
00:32:59on Buemi's shoulders
00:33:00there
00:33:00that's unfortunate
00:33:01it's kind of silly
00:33:02to do when you
00:33:03have the car that he does
00:33:04in the position he has
00:33:05it's a silly
00:33:07silly mistake
00:33:08Buemi darted
00:33:09like really
00:33:10clearly darted
00:33:11back over to the left
00:33:12there so there's nothing
00:33:12oh what's happening
00:33:13here for the Renault team
00:33:14and he went straight
00:33:16over the chicane
00:33:16and it's still Buemi
00:33:17in front of Prost
00:33:18as they come over
00:33:19the start finish line
00:33:21but Buemi
00:33:21starting to get rattled
00:33:23a little bit
00:33:23you just wonder
00:33:24D'Ambrosio I don't think
00:33:26did anything wrong
00:33:27on that one
00:33:28a couple of times
00:33:29previously
00:33:29maybe pushing
00:33:30the limits a bit
00:33:31but that time through
00:33:32it was
00:33:33it was very close
00:33:35on board with Buemi
00:33:38again
00:33:39this all means
00:33:39that Degrassi
00:33:40now has a 2.7
00:33:41second lead
00:33:42and D'Ambrosio
00:33:44unsurprisingly
00:33:44set the fastest
00:33:45lap of the race
00:33:46last time through
00:33:46straight over
00:33:47at Thurm 1
00:33:48so I don't think
00:33:49that will count
00:33:49towards points
00:33:50for the championship
00:33:51this is getting
00:33:53to the stage
00:33:54now where
00:33:54even if Buemi
00:33:56gets through
00:33:56it's going to be
00:33:58tough to actually
00:33:59catch Degrassi
00:34:00with a three
00:34:01second advantage
00:34:01yeah
00:34:02that's going to be
00:34:03really tough to make
00:34:04especially as quick
00:34:05as Degrassi is
00:34:06yeah
00:34:06on board with Buemi
00:34:08what's going to happen
00:34:09and it's all stemmed
00:34:10from D'Ambrosio
00:34:11getting out of shape
00:34:12through the middle part
00:34:13of this chicane here
00:34:14a little bit neat
00:34:16for this time through
00:34:17but that Renault
00:34:18is so good over the curbs
00:34:19we're about to go
00:34:20for round three now
00:34:21seconds out
00:34:22coming down
00:34:23towards turn one
00:34:24what's D'Ambrosio
00:34:24going to do
00:34:25Buemi is lurking
00:34:26behind him
00:34:27makes a very
00:34:27clear move
00:34:28but still tucks in
00:34:30behind the Belgian
00:34:31great fight
00:34:34this four second position
00:34:35one 31-10-58
00:34:36yeah Buemi's clearly
00:34:38got the faster car
00:34:39he's trying to struggle
00:34:40to find a clear way by
00:34:42yeah absolutely
00:34:43it's uh
00:34:43because of the
00:34:44I presume a lot of
00:34:45the approaches to these
00:34:47chicanes are corners
00:34:48getting the insides tough
00:34:50you can cover it
00:34:51basically very good
00:34:52and there's no secret
00:34:53Ambrosio is a very
00:34:54what we call in the biz
00:34:55a tough pass
00:34:56you'll agree with that
00:34:58himself
00:34:58but that's part of the game
00:35:01yeah absolutely
00:35:02did you uh
00:35:03did you race against him
00:35:04much in FE last year
00:35:06yeah yeah
00:35:06we had some great battles
00:35:07we had some great battles
00:35:08but I mean
00:35:09like I said
00:35:09that's part of the game
00:35:10and you know
00:35:11the the problem
00:35:11that Buemi's having
00:35:12right now
00:35:13all still stems
00:35:14from qualifying
00:35:14you know
00:35:15if you qualify on the pole
00:35:16which Jerome does
00:35:17you have that
00:35:18uh
00:35:18luxury
00:35:19yeah absolutely
00:35:20the team radio
00:35:21to Sebastian Buemi
00:35:23was stay focused
00:35:24you're lucky enough
00:35:25to be still in the race
00:35:26stay focused
00:35:27and we'll try again later
00:35:28that was the message
00:35:30to play
00:35:30come down towards
00:35:33turn one again
00:35:34lap 32 of 43
00:35:35big lock up
00:35:36from someone
00:35:37up in front
00:35:38who could that be
00:35:39well it would
00:35:40presumably
00:35:41have been Degrassi
00:35:42but
00:35:42we'll keep an eye out
00:35:43as to whether
00:35:44he lost much time
00:35:45in the first sector
00:35:45not really
00:35:46so maybe he just
00:35:47got away with it
00:35:48Nico Frost is
00:35:49under investigation
00:35:50for an unsafe
00:35:51tip stop release
00:35:52meanwhile
00:35:52so we'll keep an eye
00:35:53on that one
00:35:54as that progresses
00:35:55lap 32
00:35:56of 43
00:35:57here
00:35:5712 laps to go
00:35:58in Mexico City
00:35:59in what is turning
00:36:02into a great
00:36:03Formula E race
00:36:04and Formula E
00:36:05has changed this year
00:36:07we're on board
00:36:07with Sam Bird
00:36:08quickly
00:36:08he's going to be
00:36:09overtaking Nick
00:36:10Heidefelt for
00:36:107th position
00:36:11up the inside
00:36:12not quite enough room
00:36:13there we go
00:36:14good stuff from Bird
00:36:15can't get that stop
00:36:16though
00:36:16and has to go
00:36:17straight over
00:36:18and that allows
00:36:18Robin Fraince
00:36:19to get involved
00:36:19in the party
00:36:20as well
00:36:20and Bird
00:36:22remains
00:36:22in that 8th position
00:36:24if you go in
00:36:26too hot
00:36:26too tight there
00:36:27you're never
00:36:27going to make
00:36:27the corner
00:36:28I guess
00:36:28it just seems
00:36:30to be incredibly
00:36:30easy to hold
00:36:31off a faster car
00:36:32for whatever reason
00:36:34around this track
00:36:34there's no real
00:36:35place that
00:36:35you can't hide
00:36:37here
00:36:37absolutely
00:36:39so
00:36:39yeah
00:36:40what I was
00:36:40about to touch
00:36:41on earlier
00:36:41is Formula E
00:36:42has changed
00:36:43for me
00:36:43since last year
00:36:44last year
00:36:44everyone had
00:36:45the identical car
00:36:46and it all
00:36:47got crazy
00:36:48quite often
00:36:49this year
00:36:50we're getting
00:36:50really good
00:36:51races
00:36:52you know what I mean
00:36:53last year
00:36:54we'd have a safety car
00:36:55or a crash
00:36:55and it would all
00:36:56kind of kick off
00:36:56this year
00:36:57it's really fascinating
00:36:58inter-manufacturer
00:37:00competition
00:37:01yeah
00:37:01and I think
00:37:02everyone's getting
00:37:02used to racing
00:37:03the cars
00:37:03and the format
00:37:04and
00:37:05it's just
00:37:06I think
00:37:07a natural
00:37:07progression
00:37:08of the sport
00:37:08yeah
00:37:09absolutely
00:37:09so lap 33
00:37:11of 43
00:37:11we're about
00:37:12to cross the line
00:37:13to have
00:37:1410 to go
00:37:15Daniel Lap
00:37:17has got a reasonable
00:37:18amount of usable
00:37:19energy remaining
00:37:20maybe we'll see him
00:37:21mount a push
00:37:23towards the end
00:37:23of the race
00:37:24Sam Bird's got loads
00:37:25oh actually
00:37:25no he has got loads
00:37:27so not only has he got
00:37:27more than Heidfeld
00:37:28in 7th place there
00:37:29who has 48%
00:37:30because Heidfeld
00:37:31pitted a lap earlier
00:37:32but also Bird
00:37:33in general
00:37:34has more than
00:37:35the rest of the pack
00:37:36so good work
00:37:37from the Englishman
00:37:38he just wants
00:37:39to score
00:37:39a chunk of points
00:37:41here today
00:37:411-3-6
00:37:42onto the brakes
00:37:45and Jean-Erik Verne
00:37:47is using his fan boost
00:37:49meanwhile
00:37:49and I think he's all
00:37:51by himself out there
00:37:51yes he is
00:37:52so no real benefit
00:37:53for Verne
00:37:54after what has been
00:37:55a miserable day
00:37:56there he is
00:37:56having used his fan boost
00:37:57and using that to
00:38:00well
00:38:00try and catch up
00:38:01the 25 second gap
00:38:03to Salvador Duran
00:38:04in front of him
00:38:04so
00:38:05they come out
00:38:07onto the start
00:38:08finish straight
00:38:09those two graphics
00:38:09at the top there
00:38:10mean that we've got
00:38:11D'Ambrosio and
00:38:12Buemi's team radio
00:38:13open
00:38:13so
00:38:14either of them talk
00:38:15then we'll hear it
00:38:16but we don't obviously
00:38:17know when they're
00:38:18going to talk
00:38:18this is Nick Heidfeld
00:38:21again under pressure
00:38:22from Sam Bird
00:38:23really good drive
00:38:24this from Heidfeld
00:38:24but Sam Bird
00:38:25is coming at him
00:38:26into the chicane
00:38:26once again
00:38:27this time he goes
00:38:28wider
00:38:28to try and get
00:38:29the run out
00:38:29into turn 7
00:38:30clever work from Bird
00:38:33but we'll see
00:38:35whether that actually
00:38:35makes any difference
00:38:36on the run down
00:38:37to 7
00:38:37not quite
00:38:38they come
00:38:40oh and off
00:38:41that's Antonio
00:38:42Felix da Costa
00:38:43he's gone backwards
00:38:44into the barriers
00:38:44there at turn 7
00:38:45meanwhile
00:38:46back to this battle
00:38:47for second place
00:38:47D'Ambrosio under pressure
00:38:49look from the inside
00:38:50from Buemi
00:38:50he's darting around
00:38:52in the mirrors
00:38:52he's trying to go
00:38:53around the outside
00:38:54great attempt
00:38:54from Sebastian Buemi
00:38:55surely he cut
00:38:57across the track
00:38:58there
00:38:58he cut this again
00:38:59he cut this again
00:39:00I think D'Ambrosio
00:39:01made my point
00:39:02there
00:39:02so let's see
00:39:03what happens
00:39:04here with Sebastian
00:39:05Buemi
00:39:05is he going to
00:39:05give that place
00:39:06back an audacious
00:39:07attack
00:39:07and here comes
00:39:09Frost attacking
00:39:09and they're going
00:39:10to make contact
00:39:11there
00:39:11and this is
00:39:12really difficult
00:39:13times
00:39:13for D'Ambrosio
00:39:15to me
00:39:16Buemi's got to
00:39:17give that place
00:39:17back Scott
00:39:18the orange cone
00:39:20is gone
00:39:21it's game on
00:39:22I don't really know
00:39:22how they're going
00:39:23to call that
00:39:23that's
00:39:24that's going to be
00:39:24really tough
00:39:25ask for who to ask
00:39:26so
00:39:27what a battle
00:39:28we are having here
00:39:29for second place
00:39:30so Sebastian Buemi
00:39:31is through
00:39:32up into that
00:39:32second position
00:39:33and now he will
00:39:34naturally start to
00:39:35pull away
00:39:35and is that
00:39:36Buemi slowing down
00:39:37D'Ambrosio's going
00:39:37wide through
00:39:38goes Prost
00:39:39and I think
00:39:39Buemi's trying to
00:39:40slow to give the place
00:39:41back
00:39:41and now that means
00:39:44Prost is through
00:39:45and D'Ambrosio
00:39:47apologies for the
00:39:47language
00:39:48but he is absolutely
00:39:49livid
00:39:49and so he goes
00:39:50straight over the
00:39:51chicane himself
00:39:51to try and get
00:39:52back past
00:39:53what's going on
00:39:53guys I don't understand
00:39:54it's like the
00:39:54wild west
00:39:55it's like where he
00:39:56races
00:39:57so
00:40:01make the penalties
00:40:02well so
00:40:03long and short of it
00:40:06is
00:40:06the positions
00:40:07are back to being
00:40:08the same
00:40:08after it
00:40:09all cars around
00:40:10you are four
00:40:10position
00:40:11well it all got a
00:40:12bit nuts there
00:40:13didn't it
00:40:13so it looked as
00:40:14though Buemi
00:40:14was trying to
00:40:16let
00:40:16and has he done
00:40:17it now
00:40:17yes he has
00:40:18so Buemi
00:40:19has let D'Ambrosio
00:40:20back through
00:40:20into that second
00:40:21place
00:40:21and I think
00:40:22between them
00:40:23they have resolved
00:40:24the fair order
00:40:25of things
00:40:26okay
00:40:26it was a strange
00:40:28way of going
00:40:28about it
00:40:29but I think
00:40:30we're there now
00:40:30yeah
00:40:31and the interesting
00:40:32thing is
00:40:33Lug Duval
00:40:33now is part
00:40:34of that pack
00:40:35yeah
00:40:35absolutely
00:40:36that's very
00:40:36true
00:40:36so
00:40:37someone's just
00:40:40said on
00:40:40Mexico E3
00:40:41Buemi needs
00:40:41some chill
00:40:42lessons from
00:40:43Scott Speed
00:40:43that's what
00:40:45this happens
00:40:45right now
00:40:46so I think
00:40:46what happened
00:40:47is Buemi
00:40:47tried to let
00:40:48D'Ambrosio
00:40:49through
00:40:49D'Ambrosio
00:40:50didn't have
00:40:50the pace
00:40:51to get past
00:40:51got held
00:40:52up
00:40:52and that
00:40:53and Prost
00:40:54thought
00:40:54right
00:40:54I'm going
00:40:55to go
00:40:55for it
00:40:55then
00:40:55and threw
00:40:56it up
00:40:56the inside
00:40:57so
00:40:57well
00:40:58seven laps
00:40:59to go
00:40:59okay
00:41:00you'll have
00:41:00seven on the
00:41:00dash
00:41:01when you cross
00:41:01the line
00:41:01seven on
00:41:02the dash
00:41:02seven on
00:41:03the dash
00:41:04and well
00:41:07we're back
00:41:08to where we
00:41:09were a minute
00:41:09ago but this
00:41:10is all means
00:41:10Lucas Degrassi
00:41:11has a ten second
00:41:12lead up at the
00:41:13front
00:41:13a massive lead
00:41:15for Degrassi
00:41:15so
00:41:19calm down a little
00:41:22bit after all
00:41:23of that
00:41:23we're still back
00:41:24in the same
00:41:24position
00:41:25where Sebastian
00:41:26Buemi has got
00:41:26to try and find
00:41:27a way
00:41:27fairly
00:41:28around
00:41:29Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:41:30it was a nice
00:41:31try from
00:41:32D'Ambrosio
00:41:33and that is
00:41:35that is John
00:41:36Eric Verne
00:41:37at the back
00:41:37of this queue
00:41:38who is a lap
00:41:39down

00:44:19made a
00:44:20aggressive
00:44:21attacks
00:44:21when he

00:44:22just
00:44:23applause
00:44:24to him
00:44:25yeah
00:44:25absolutely
00:44:25spot on

00:44:27Lucas
00:44:28Degrassi
00:44:29up at the
00:44:29front
00:44:29Buemi
00:44:30desperately
00:44:30trying to
00:44:31get through
00:44:31into that
00:44:32second
00:44:33position
00:44:33through the
00:44:35long right
00:44:36hander
00:44:36they come
00:44:36at turn
00:44:37three
00:44:37into the
00:44:37chicane
00:44:38and
00:44:40see what
00:44:42usable
00:44:42energy
00:44:42see there
00:44:43they're still
00:44:43running at
00:44:44very similar
00:44:44usable energy
00:44:45levels
00:44:46remaining
00:44:46it's not
00:44:47as though
00:44:47Buemi's
00:44:47got a
00:44:48load more
00:44:48doesn't look
00:44:49like he
00:44:49can manage
00:44:50to get
00:44:50himself
00:44:51into the
00:44:51position
00:44:51to attack
00:44:52just yet
00:44:52yeah
00:44:53it seems
00:44:53like he's
00:44:54always
00:44:54right there
00:44:55waiting for
00:44:56a little
00:44:56move
00:44:57it's a pity
00:44:59he can't
00:44:59just sort
00:45:00of chill
00:45:00back there
00:45:01save up
00:45:02enough energy
00:45:02to where
00:45:02it's super
00:45:03obvious
00:45:03at the end
00:45:04where he can
00:45:04just go
00:45:04down the
00:45:05straightaway
00:45:05with you
00:45:06know
00:45:06a couple
00:45:06more percent
00:45:06for example
00:45:07because it
00:45:07seems like
00:45:08he's quite
00:45:09a bit
00:45:09quicker than
00:45:10Ambrosio
00:45:11you know
00:45:13whereas the
00:45:13previous few
00:45:14laps

00:45:40four minutes
00:45:40to go
00:45:41is that
00:45:41enough
00:45:43minutes
00:45:43for
00:45:44Sebastien Buemi
00:45:45to make
00:45:45an attack
00:45:45up into
00:45:46the second
00:45:47chicane
00:45:47Daniel
00:45:49not quite
00:45:50able to

00:45:57you start
00:45:59to lose
00:45:59the
00:46:00regen
00:46:00capabilities
00:46:01of the
00:46:01car
00:46:01the further
00:46:02you go

00:46:06when you're
00:46:06driving
00:46:07how does
00:46:07that affect
00:46:07how you
00:46:08have to
00:46:08drive
00:46:08well
00:46:09everything
00:46:10you're able
00:46:10to adjust
00:46:10out of
00:46:11so you
00:46:11maybe have
00:46:12to adjust
00:46:12the brake
00:46:12balance
00:46:12a little
00:46:13bit
00:46:13so from
00:46:13a driving
00:46:14perspective
00:46:14you're able
00:46:14to calculate
00:46:15or at least
00:46:16adjust
00:46:16everything
00:46:16to continue
00:46:17driving
00:46:17normally
00:46:18lap 41
00:46:19of 43
00:46:20into the
00:46:23final
00:46:23chicane
00:46:24once again
00:46:25Lucas Degratti
00:46:26is on his
00:46:26penultimate lap
00:46:27of the race
00:46:27about 10 seconds
00:46:29up the road
00:46:29attention
00:46:301-2-0
00:46:33off the line
00:46:35they come
00:46:35and give their
00:46:36readings
00:46:37so Buemi
00:46:38has got
00:46:38basically one
00:46:40more shot
00:46:40into turn
00:46:411 now
00:46:41this is the
00:46:42penultimate lap
00:46:42the next time
00:46:43through is going
00:46:44to be the
00:46:44final run
00:46:44into turn
00:46:451
00:46:45unless you
00:46:46can come
00:46:46up with
00:46:46something
00:46:46clever
00:46:47somewhere
00:46:48else
00:46:48on the circuit
00:46:48that's got
00:46:49to be the
00:46:49challenge
00:46:50he's got
00:46:50a tiny bit
00:46:51more energy
00:46:51now than
00:46:52D'Ambrosio
00:46:53you can see
00:46:53on the left
00:46:53D'Ambrosio
00:46:54at 9%
00:46:54Buemi
00:46:55at 10%
00:46:55is that going
00:46:56to be
00:46:57the vital
00:46:58difference
00:46:58in the battle
00:46:59for second
00:46:59position
00:47:00and the battle
00:47:01for the lead
00:47:02of the championship
00:47:03essentially
00:47:04because as it
00:47:05stands
00:47:06Degrassi
00:47:06will take
00:47:07the lead
00:47:07is
00:47:09uncertain
00:47:10who the
00:47:11fastest
00:47:11lap
00:47:11of the
00:47:11race
00:47:11will
00:47:12go
00:47:12to
00:47:12because
00:47:12I
00:47:12think
00:47:12it
00:47:12was
00:47:12set
00:47:13by
00:47:13D'Ambrosio
00:47:14when he cut
00:47:14through the
00:47:15first chicane
00:47:15so the
00:47:16stewards will
00:47:16have to look
00:47:17into that
00:47:17one
00:47:17oh and that's
00:47:18Daniel Lapte
00:47:19he's in the
00:47:19wall
00:47:19Daniel Lapte
00:47:20from fifth
00:47:21place
00:47:21is in the

00:54:15touching
00:54:16him
00:54:16you know
00:54:16so
00:54:17I'm
00:54:18really
00:54:18disappointed
00:54:19by this
00:54:19because
00:54:20even
00:54:20the
00:54:20race
00:54:21direction
00:54:21I felt
00:54:22didn't
00:54:22say
00:54:22anything
00:54:22and
00:54:23you know
00:54:23it
00:54:24could
00:54:24be
00:54:24dangerous
00:54:24you know
00:54:24if
00:54:25you
00:54:25either
00:54:25move
00:54:26earlier
00:54:26or
00:54:26you
00:54:27don't
00:54:27move
00:54:27you know
00:54:27you can't
00:54:28move
00:54:28while I'm
00:54:28already
00:54:29more or
00:54:29there
00:54:29and
00:54:30is that
00:54:31what was
00:54:31were you
00:54:31trying to
00:54:32slow down
00:54:32to give him
00:54:33the position
00:54:33back
00:54:33when then
00:54:34Prost and
00:54:34Abde and
00:54:35everyone became
00:54:35out of order
00:54:36for a short
00:54:37period of time
00:54:37yeah I think
00:54:38that was even
00:54:39a mistake
00:54:39because you
00:54:40know he
00:54:40didn't leave
00:54:41me any room
00:54:41so I did
00:54:42it just
00:54:43because I
00:54:43was scared
00:54:43you know
00:54:44to lose
00:54:44so many
00:54:44points
00:54:45for the
00:54:45championship
00:54:45but
00:54:46clearly
00:54:47you know
00:54:47I don't
00:54:48quite get
00:54:49it
00:54:49I think
00:54:50he should
00:54:50have
00:54:51let me
00:54:51by
00:54:51and
00:54:52at least
00:54:52not
00:54:52close the
00:54:53door
00:54:53like that
00:54:53but
00:54:53that's
00:54:54something
00:54:54we'll discuss
00:54:55next time
00:54:55you know
00:54:55thanks very
00:54:56much
00:54:56so
00:54:58Sebastio Buemi
00:54:59we'll wait
00:55:01and see what
00:55:01Jerome has to say
00:55:02I'm sure we'll get
00:55:02some replays
00:55:03but I'm not
00:55:03100% sure
00:55:04I entirely
00:55:06subscribe to that
00:55:07there's Mike Conway
00:55:08he's come to a stop
00:55:09but now let's hear
00:55:09from our race winner
00:55:10Lucas Degrassi
00:55:11back at the top
00:55:12of the championship
00:55:13so Lucas Degrassi
00:55:15back on the top
00:55:17of the driver
00:55:17championship
00:55:18that must feel good
00:55:19it feels just awesome
00:55:21the race here was just perfect
00:55:23I had the patience
00:55:24behind Prost
00:55:24to attack in the right moment
00:55:26before the pit stop
00:55:26and then when I saw Jerome
00:55:28I had the opportunity
00:55:29at that lap
00:55:30I used fan boost
00:55:31and managed to get the overtake
00:55:32and after that
00:55:34I was pushing really hard
00:55:35for three or four laps
00:55:36and yeah
00:55:37I'm very happy
00:55:38to have wonderful race
00:55:39it did seem after the pit stop
00:55:40it just went so perfectly well
00:55:42for you
00:55:42in the first half
00:55:43were you just trying to stay
00:55:44calm and cool
00:55:45and keep the position
00:55:46not really
00:55:47I was trying to attack
00:55:48but here in this track
00:55:49it's really hard to overtake
00:55:50as you could see
00:55:51in the rest
00:55:52of the race
00:55:53so I was trying to overtake Prost
00:55:55but he was getting close
00:55:56by Jerome
00:55:57and then he was closing me
00:55:58and I was closing Seb
00:56:00so it was like a chess
00:56:02right
00:56:02who gets the right moment
00:56:04and in the end
00:56:05after the pit stop
00:56:07attack at the right time
00:56:08well well done
00:56:09congratulations
00:56:09great victory for Lucas Degrassi
00:56:13Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:56:14and Sebastien Buemi
00:56:15have been summoned
00:56:16to see the race director
00:56:17after the podium
00:56:18and press conference
00:56:19imagine that
00:56:19exactly
00:56:21how often have you been
00:56:22to see race directors
00:56:22well actually
00:56:24I'm pretty sure
00:56:25just about every weekend
00:56:26actually
00:56:27not necessarily
00:56:27for on track stuff
00:56:29but
00:56:29I always seem to end up
00:56:31in time out somehow
00:56:32amazing
00:56:34so
00:56:35there's the podium
00:56:36being prepared
00:56:37and there is Cirque du Soleil
00:56:40doing a little bit
00:56:40of a performance
00:56:41before the drivers arrive
00:56:43let's hear now
00:56:44from our second place man
00:56:45Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:56:46I wonder what
00:56:47he thought of
00:56:49Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:56:50sorry
00:56:50Buemi's
00:56:51overtaking attack
00:56:52let's hear from him
00:56:53well that was a bit
00:56:55of a challenging race
00:56:56for you
00:56:56battling there
00:56:57with Sebastien Buemi
00:56:58what did you think
00:56:59of his approaches
00:57:00to trying to overtake you
00:57:01I think that
00:57:03you know
00:57:04I think they were fine
00:57:05I think it was a close call
00:57:06I mean
00:57:06the only time
00:57:08he overtook me
00:57:08was
00:57:09cutting the chicane
00:57:10not much I could have done
00:57:12and he made a big mess
00:57:13when he gave the place back
00:57:14he just forced me
00:57:15to be offline
00:57:16created a big
00:57:18really big disaster
00:57:19but in the end
00:57:21the race was fantastic
00:57:22I gave everything I had
00:57:23I mean
00:57:23it's really difficult
00:57:25to challenge with these guys
00:57:26I absolutely gave it all
00:57:28I had a little issue
00:57:29in the second car
00:57:30with the steering
00:57:30being really heavy
00:57:31so really gave it all
00:57:33and I want to thank the team
00:57:34you know
00:57:34all the guys
00:57:34the engineers
00:57:35the mechanics
00:57:35and then we had new sponsors
00:57:37joining on board
00:57:38Phoenix, Panasonic
00:57:38with Mauser
00:57:39and you know
00:57:40all these guys
00:57:40also helping us
00:57:41achieve what we want to achieve
00:57:42so thanks to all of them
00:57:43thanks very much
00:57:44well done
00:57:44so off they go now
00:57:47towards the podium
00:57:48for the procedures
00:57:50and we're just starting
00:57:51to calm down now
00:57:52a great tweet
00:57:52from Oliver Rowland
00:57:54who raced in Punta del Este
00:57:55he said
00:57:56wow I love it
00:57:56great race
00:57:57please have me back
00:57:58so amazing stuff
00:58:00in that formulary race
00:58:03here
00:58:03look at Manos Rodriguez
00:58:06that's the
00:58:07results then
00:58:08after 43 laps of racing
00:58:09Lucas Degrassi
00:58:10victorious
00:58:11only 5.4 seconds
00:58:12clear of D'Ambrosio
00:58:13in the end
00:58:13but it was as high
00:58:14as 10 seconds
00:58:16D'Ambrosio finishing
00:58:17in second
00:58:18Buemi in third
00:58:19then Loic Dubal
00:58:20finishing in fourth
00:58:21after Daniel App
00:58:22threw it all away
00:58:23on that final lap
00:58:24Nico Prost finishing fifth
00:58:25after he had to serve
00:58:25the drive-through penalty
00:58:26good drive from
00:58:27Robin Franks
00:58:28to sixth position
00:58:28Sam Bird
00:58:29from tenth to seventh
00:58:30he'll be satisfied
00:58:31but that one I think
00:58:32Heidfeldt and Sarrazan
00:58:33completing the top ten
00:58:34Bruno Senna
00:58:35just missing out
00:58:36on points
00:58:36then you've got
00:58:37Oliver Turvey
00:58:37Mike Conway
00:58:38Nelson Piquet Jr
00:58:39and Simone de Silvestro
00:58:40with Salvador Duran
00:58:41finishing down
00:58:42in sixth position
00:58:43ahead of Jean-Erik Spurne
00:58:44who had all sorts
00:58:45of troubles
00:58:45and Antonio
00:58:47Filipe Costa
00:58:47I think had to
00:58:49retire from the race
00:58:50Lucas Degrassi
00:58:52then now leads
00:58:53the championship
00:58:53101 points
00:58:55that gives him
00:58:55a six point margin
00:58:56over Sebastian Buemi
00:58:57Sam Bird
00:58:59in third
00:58:59Jerome D'Ambrosio
00:59:00on 53 points
00:59:01but I'm not sure
00:59:02those two points
00:59:03for Farsis' lap
00:59:04will stand
00:59:04because he went
00:59:05straight over
00:59:05at the first corner
00:59:06but he's in front
00:59:07of his teammate
00:59:07Loic Duval
00:59:08but that's the big
00:59:09switch around
00:59:10at the top
00:59:10of the championship
00:59:11Lucas Degrassi
00:59:12six points ahead
00:59:13of Buemi
00:59:13really impressive stuff
00:59:15from the Brazilian
00:59:16considering on paper
00:59:17you'd have to see
00:59:18the state
00:59:19the Renault team
00:59:20have the quicker car
00:59:21no more points
00:59:22today for Jean-Erik Verne
00:59:24an awful Bruno Senna
00:59:25in their hunt
00:59:26to try and improve
00:59:27a real shame for Verne
00:59:27because he started
00:59:28in sixth place
00:59:29on the grid
00:59:29lost an awful lot
00:59:30of laps
00:59:30a lot of positions
00:59:31on the opening laps
00:59:32and as for the teams
00:59:34it's still Renault
00:59:35who top it
00:59:35how different
00:59:36that could have been
00:59:36if Daniel Att
00:59:37hadn't made that mistake
00:59:38and dropped
00:59:38from fourth position
00:59:39in fact
00:59:40absolutely well
00:59:41have been in front
00:59:42of Renault
00:59:42but it's very tight
00:59:43between the two of them
00:59:44no doubt about that
00:59:45Dragon Racing
00:59:46finishing in third place
00:59:48DS Virgin in fourth
