[0:02]And what Carlos Sainz wanted was to win, the victory and to race for himself, and that's what he got from Ferrari and it is working out beautifully for the Scuderia at the moment as they race one two with Perez under pressure from Hamilton behind.
[0:16]Alonso keeping up fifth place ahead of Lando Norris, Verstappen getting dropped back a little bit in seventh place, Sebastian Vettel coming at him and then Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen completing the points.
[0:27]As through the fail chicane we go once more and Hamilton desperate to try and get past the Red Bull.
[0:34]We've got eight laps to go including this one. So much can happen yet, but uh Leclair now is going to play a key role as to whether Ferrari will get this victory upfront because I can't help but think if Perez and Hamilton got clear, they're going to have some great pace.
[0:48]Well, absolutely. Perez is going to get DRS as well when we go through the first DRS zone on this lap.
[0:58]Here we go down the Wellington straight. You Bird is race engineer telling him that DRS is enabled and this is where Char Leclaire could be quite vulnerable, not just to Perez but to Hamilton too.
[1:08]But Leclaire though will be starting to warm the, oh, he's gone wide. Leclaire's gone wide in field.
[1:13]And Hamilton taking a different line to Perez as well.
[1:16]So who's got it right coming out of the exit. We head now down towards Cop's corner at about 165 miles an hour.
[1:23]Through goes the Ferrari, through goes the Red Bull, through goes the Mercedes.
[1:26]So Perez will have a great chance down straight into stove corner.
[1:31]Leclaire is beginning to warm up those used hard compound tires. If Perez can get a good release off of Beckett, he'll get the slip stream and he's got the DRS.
[1:41]We saw the rear wing open. This is going to be very close into Stoke Corner. Yeah, Perez is catching Char Leclair he takes him towards the inside.
[1:48]Perez on the inside, Char Leclaire gives him just enough space.
[1:52]Can Perez squeeze past? They go wheel to wheel towards Vale now.
[1:56]Who's going to be last on the brakes? Leclaire has that inside line, through goes Hamilton.
[2:02]Unbelievable stuff coming out of the final corner. Perez and Leclaire going for it.
[2:07]Hamilton says thank you very much and another thing opens up for him.
[2:11]And and Perez comes up the inside.
[2:14]He's taking the place back. Hamilton hangs it out around the outside, he's run out of road.
[2:18]Leclaire still in the hunt as well. So Leclaire trying to get that place back from Hamilton, he has Hamilton was forced off the track.
[2:25]I wonder what will be said about that, but go through Char Leclaire, who's got DRS to pull away from Lewis Hamilton and arriving on the scene.
[2:34]Well, of course he is. Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris as well.
[2:39]Five cars separated by about 20 meters here.
[2:42]Perez goes through, Hamilton gets just blocked a little bit by Leclaire.
[2:46]Here comes Fernando Alonso down towards Copse.
[2:49]Hamilton had to get out of the throttle. He was pushed to the outside there and Alonso then couldn't make anything of that and off we go again.
[2:57]Absolutely extraordinary.
[3:00]And let's see what happened at the chicane.
[3:04]So Perez cuts across the inside, doesn't actually take a place, loses a place, nobody does keep the place against Leclair, doesn't he?
[3:13]Yeah. So Perez, they might say he gained advantage by cutting the corner because whilst he lost to Hamilton, he gained to Leclair.
[3:22]Just forcing Leclair wide as well, and it just opened up beautifully for Lewis Hamilton there.
