00:01And it's lights out and away we go!

00:03And Bottas gets away very nicely indeed.

00:06Verstappen alongside Lando Norris, Albon and Hamilton going wheel to wheel

00:10as Bottas through Turn 1 and Norris goes ahead of Verstappen but off the track.

00:13Also off the track goes Charles Leclerc as well.

00:16Bottas leads, Verstappen's back in second, Norris behind him.

00:19Albon has Lewis Hamilton right alongside him as well.

00:22And then there's three at rest behind that.

00:24Perez and Vettel and also Carlos Sainz as into Turn 3 we go.

00:28And Norris pressurising Verstappen but having to stay behind.

00:31Norris then he tried to go round the arm side.

00:33Verstappen was not leaving him any space but look he's got a great slipstream.

00:36No DRS, no drag reduction system for the first two laps of course.

00:41And oh it's getting very close, Lewis then.

00:44Lewis really struggling in the back of the pack there.

00:47And Lewis then with DRS, he's going to be in great shape when it comes to the braking zone of Turn 4.

00:53He might even be in third place and he is.

00:56He didn't even need the braking zone of Turn 4.

00:59DRS helping him blast past.

01:01Verstappen going slowly and has he lost power?

01:05And he's desperately trying to get power back into that Red Bull.

01:09And he's urging it along and moving around in his seat.

01:13And is this Verstappen out of the race?

01:16I keep saying ****, I can't change it.

01:18Okay, stand by Max for looking.

01:20I keep going out to store.

01:22Carlos Sainz on Charles Leclerc.

01:24The McLaren might have better speed coming up towards Turn 3.

01:27They're going wheel to wheel.

01:28Leclerc is on the inside.

01:29Carlos Sainz will be his teammate next year.

01:31And crashes into Sebastian Vettel this year.

01:35Sebastian Vettel spun round by the man who's replacing him at Ferrari.

01:38Yep.

01:39And Leclerc and Sainz teammates next year.

01:41I'm sorry, but Sebastian Vettel put his nose into a place it should not be.

01:46On Friday, Perez was the second fastest driver as he breathes this past Lando Norris there.

01:55Before they get to Turn 4, Sergio Perez has put the racing point up into 4th place.

02:00He was the second fastest driver on the medium tyres.

02:03What has happened here to the Williams?

02:06Russell was having a very nice race indeed going along in 12th place.

02:10And this is more mechanical issues.

02:13Safety car is coming out.

02:16Whoa, this is not what Mercedes wanted.

02:18Do not miss this last 20 laps.

02:20So Alex Albon, who has pitted for a set of tyres, the soft compound tyre.

02:26Alex Albon is one to watch now at the restart, isn't he?

02:29Valtteri Bottas leads as we cross the line and the green flags wave once more.

02:34From Lewis Hamilton, Sergio Perez and Alex Albon racing him towards Turn 1.

02:39Then comes Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc right behind him.

02:42Behind Leclerc comes Pierre Gasly in the Alfa Tauri.

02:45They didn't pit. Ocon didn't pit in 8th.

02:47And going wide there was Antonio Giovinazzi.

02:49Sainz did pit.

02:50He's 9th.

02:51Giovinazzi worth 10th.

02:52Might lose a place to Fiat.

02:53It's into Turn 3 we go.

02:55Lock up there from Perez.

02:56Albon goes down the inside.

02:58There's a safety car on the track, but not at this moment.

03:00And they all slow down.

03:02Oh, and that's why Kimi Raikkonen's had a massive crash down the main straight.

03:07Right, so we're running on board with Sebastian Vettel.

03:10Oh, it's already off.

03:11It's broken already.

03:12The tyre actually came off the wheel.

03:15Yeah, well, why the tether didn't work, because it's not a suspension problem.

03:19The wheel's just plain fell.

03:20Where did that tyre go to?

03:22Albon's got a slipstream on Lewis Hamilton.

03:25He might be in a chance here of overtaking, going into Turn 3.

03:28He's going to have to go the long way round.

03:29Perez is having to defend from Lando Norris as well.

03:32Great exit from Alexander Albon.

03:35He's got the soft compound tyre on.

03:37You would expect that.

03:38The hard tyre is on the Mercedes.

03:39Albon is all over the back of Hamilton, who once again forces in the long way round.

03:43Norris goes the long way round on Perez.

03:45And Albon again.

03:46No, with Lewis Hamilton.

03:48He's lost out once more as it was in Brazil.

03:52He comes off second best.

03:54Hamilton forced Albon all the way round the outside.

03:58This guy is such a saloon.

04:02The DRS is helping Sainz.

04:03It's helping Leclerc as well.

04:05Leclerc moves ahead of Carlos Sainz.

04:07Sainz is going to fight this one out.

04:08Locks up on the inside.

04:10They don't touch.

04:11Leclerc moves around the outside.

04:12Gets a bit twitchy on the exit of the corner, but moves into fourth place.

04:17Here goes Charles Leclerc down the inside on Sergio Perez.

04:22God, that was late.

04:23That was brilliant.

04:24Charles Leclerc into the podium places as Lewis Hamilton is given a five-second penalty for causing a collision with Alex Albon.

04:35And all, if we're live on board here, that is Norris and Perez.

04:41And Norris has managed to get past Sergio Perez.

04:44And it was a bit bumpy going into turn three, but he's managed to do it.

04:47And Perez is tumbling down the order.

04:49Bottas leads.

04:50Hamilton's second on the road, but he gets a five-second penalty.

04:53Then Leclerc, Norris and Perez, who also gets a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

04:59Lewis is coming back at Bottas now.

05:02Oh, no!

05:03And Daniel Kriat's out of the race.

05:04And Daniel Kriat is out of the race and out of harm's way as well.

05:08That's a real wheel.

05:09The tire shredded, disintegrated.

05:12That's about curbs.

05:14That's about running curbs.

05:15Unless he had...

05:16He was quite close to the Ferrari.

05:18Well, I just wonder if Mercedes want to let Hamilton get past Bottas.

05:22Give him clear air ahead and just go and extend your advantage.

05:27At the moment, they've got about six, seven tenths in hand on Lando Norris,

05:32who could finish on the podium yet, because Hamilton's going to take a five-second penalty.

05:36But that's what they've got to watch for, Mercedes.

05:38Yeah.

05:4071 laps out of 71 here.

05:43Chaos and carnage at times.

05:45But Valtteri Bottas wins the season opener here in Austria.

05:49It is a Mercedes 1-2 on the road, but Hamilton will not keep second place.

05:54He gets a five-second penalty.

05:56Charles Leclerc, after a miserable weekend, a miserable weekend so far for Ferrari,

06:02gets on the podium and Lando Norris gets on the podium for the first time

06:07in Formula One because of Lewis Hamilton's penalty.

06:11And by a tenth of a second, Lando Norris is a podium sitter.

06:16McLaren are on the podium.

06:18And what a start to the season this has been.

06:21I don't know about you, Martin Brundle, but I've really enjoyed those 71 laps.

06:24Shall we do it again next week?

06:25Yeah, let's do it exactly again next week.

06:28It's not often I get so engrossed in a race I didn't even notice it was the last lap.

06:32Well, that makes two of us.

06:34All good things come to those who wait, I said a while ago.

06:38Well, in terms of racing entertainment, the Austrian Grand Prix today, that was a very good thing indeed.
