00:00The big news here at Interlagos today. Lewis Hamilton, disqualified from qualifying yesterday, sent to the back of the grid.
00:07A breach of the technical regulations regarding the DRS gap in his rear wing.
00:1224 laps to come around Interlagos on this Saturday afternoon.
00:16It's lights out and away we go. Bottas does get away well.
00:19Verstappen's moving over to cover him, but I think Bottas is away and into the lead.
00:23Into turn one goes Valtteri Bottas. Ahead of Verstappen on the inside there is Carlos Sainz.
00:27Ahead of Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc. And then the McLaren under pressure from Pierre Gasly.
00:32Lando Norris going wheel to wheel with Gasly. And we see Yuki Tsunoda ahead of Antonio Giovinazzi.
00:37And already Hamilton has made up four places.
00:39But so is Carlos Sainz also on those soft tyres and Verstappen goes wide.
00:44Comes back on in front of his teammate. The soft tyres were brilliant away from the line.
00:49And Verstappen getting a hefty hit over the kerb as he came back onto the track.
00:53So Bottas leads then from Sainz and then Verstappen and then Perez.
00:56Then comes Leclerc, Norris, Gasly, Esteban Ocon.
00:59And then Sebastian Vettel ahead of Daniel Ricciardo who's dropped back a few places.
01:04As we can see what happened down at turn one, locking up Kimi Räikkönen.
01:09On the inside was his teammate. They probably made contact.
01:12The Alfa Romeos sent Kimi facing the wrong way.
01:15That was Antonio.
01:18With DRS here comes Max Verstappen looking to make a move on car number 55, Carlos Sainz.
01:25And that is a move that he makes with great aplomb into turn one.
01:28Max Verstappen up into second place now, chasing after Valtteri Bottas.
01:33Here goes Hamilton on Tsunoda. This is a battle for 13th place.
01:37Hamilton's made it, goes right the way around the outside.
01:41I'm watching Hamilton on the main straight with DRS.
01:44I think into turn one Lewis Hamilton has got past Fernando Alonso.
01:48That, Martin, is a crucial move for him.
01:54There goes Lando Norris, birthday boy, putting on the show with Charles Leclerc going into turn one.
01:59Leclerc defends mightily against Lando Norris through the center S's.
02:04That's sliding all over the place, that Ferrari.
02:06That'll give Norris hope then that he can get him going into turn four.
02:09Leclerc moves over to the left.
02:11Lando Norris stays exactly where he is.
02:13Leclerc tries to cut him off.
02:14Lando Norris has already moved past.
02:16And that's a super battle going on there.
02:18Lando Norris up to fifth.
02:21Look how he's almost pushing the McLaren across the line as they do cross the line.
02:26They're wheel to wheel at the moment.
02:27Hamilton's ahead by a car length.
02:29Hamilton on lap 13 finally gets ahead of Daniel Ricciardo.
02:33Now he's into the top ten.
02:36Hamilton is gaining, as you can see, on Pierre Gasly.
02:39Gets a lovely slipstream. Gets DRS as well.
02:42Powers past the Alfa Tauri of Pierre Gasly.
02:45And now he is up into seventh place.
02:48We're on lap 17 of this race.
02:51The Ferrari no match for Hamilton.
02:54A little unsteady into the braking zone into turn four.
02:57But that is a very good sight for fans of Lewis Hamilton.
03:03There goes the rear wing open of Lewis Hamilton.
03:06He's a long way back. It'll be a big lunge from there.
03:09And he's going to try and make that lunge.
03:11And he does make that lunge down the inside.
03:13Lewis Hamilton, that is the best move of the lot.
03:16Hamilton on Lando Norris.
03:18The crowd absolutely love that.
03:20You can hear the cheers ringing out of your TV sets.
03:23They appreciate good racing at Interlagos.
03:26They got it right there.
03:28Bottas is going to pick up pole position for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
03:32He wins the Saturday sprint.
03:34Mercedes pick up three points,
03:36Verstappen the championship leader extends his championship lead
03:39by picking up two points for second place,
03:42as Sainz finishes third, Perez fourth,
03:45and that is a mega sprint drive from Lewis Hamilton to come home in fifth place.
