It is a tense moment when the lights come on Ricardo on the pole Vettel next to him Hamilton and Reichert and just behind the lights go out and we go 227 meters down to turn one Ricardo and Vettel getting very close Ricardo

s from federal from Hamilton from Rikers losing power losing power was what danny ricardo just said, let's continue being a snake, keep it focused, yes, ricardo is going to have to put up with it and we are on lap 30 of a monaco grand prix where everything was going well and without problems for the winner from the pole until about a lap and a half ago Daniel, you are doing a very good job, my friend, it is very good, we know it is difficult, but you are doing a great job, I am sorry, my friend, you will have to endure this until the flag a paintings.

Sebastian Vettel, although behind him, has not been able to overtake him very quickly and is now suffering with his tires. Today in Monte Carlo is the day of redemption for Daniel Ricardo, he wins the Monaco Grand Prix and he will celebrate it for a long time. amazing I don't know what you did that daniel amazing probably tomorrow greetings voice redemption two years after doing this so I finally feel like redemption has come I think it was before the halfway point I felt a loss of power and I thought the race was over And we came home using only six gears so there were some doubts mid-race but we won Monaco so it feels good, it's all confusion in the Mercedes garage, they weren't ready with the ultra-soft tyres, that's what they want. put martin, not the soft tires they initially thought they might say now but stay awake hey man no not sorry okay just go lewis hamilton

lead

s grand prix with kimi raikkonen in pits hamilton has now taken the leadership. with the extra grip battery that bottas has, he will try and hamilton is in fact going on the outside, what is hamilton going to do about it with all his might, but bottas changes at the fork, now his real wheel with Hamilton. no team orders at mercedes as they head to the mercedes-benz grandstand van hamilton through the middle of the university now a car and a half has the lead still valtteri it's james please hold position sorry james lewis hamilton from the stand 14 on the grid wins the german grand prix you never knew what was going to happen after this, after the safety car, the other guy is behind and the new tires are on, but i guess for those who don't know me now, ricardo he's about to laugh, hamilton is gaining ground now. verstappen is winning is winning is winning his money to get around ricardo goes a long way in turn one verstappen almost holds on but now hamilton is much closer as they head towards turn two lena and second place almost rolls at will in that corner hamilton He is trying absolutely everything but Stafford is defending for his life but he is still under threat and this time Hamilton goes around the outside and turn four goes off track as he does so, Verstappen maintains his place at the front.

Hamilton being in the pits now is interesting, so Mercedes taking It's a bit of a gamble here with Lewis Hamilton. I mentioned that the tires could survive until the end of the race. They will put the middle on Lewis Hamilton and send him back into this race within striking distance in six laps. Oh my goodness, can they take him down at Red Bull, that gives us two laps where Hamilton could try and now with a bench for the crowd and a packed Budapest, Hamilton chases down the main straight and off to the right side. and he goes down the road and takes the lead hamilton passes verstappen mercedes the strategy did well the laps were like qualifying laps every lap and um yeah so I turn to the team and uh I think if nicki was here today , he I will take his head, the lights will go out and we will leave.

What if I think I had a better start but Bottas is just ahead of the moment ahead of Hamilton who escaped trouble this time, unlike last year Leclair is ahead of Max Verstappen's Red Bull. then comes sebastian vettel in fifth look how much more grip and confidence hamilton has this is brilliant, brilliant, the two silver arrows racing in the opening laps here and hamilton is just inches behind his teammate as they make the left turn on the circuit and at the entrance and now the Wellington straight and this time Hamilton is much closer to Valtteri Bottas, but this time they will have to go through Wilton Will through Brooklyn and somehow he fails, he stays ahead, but he is too deep and Hamilton passes on the left. field, can he take the lead in the British Grand Prix?

They are ready to celebrate. Now they can begin because Lewis Hamilton, the man they came to cheer on, is leading the British Grand Prix. Potesto is going to attack him through the police. wow lewis hamilton crosses the line to complete his lap he's full pace as the renault ricardo and then hulkenberg pass and there's lewis hamilton and they just got ahead on ferrari but hamilton against leclair's hard compound tire could have done it. a lead on this lap hamilton is now getting a very good slipstream behind two cars on that backstretch leclair so the parabolic wants to pass the renault nico hulkenberg that's not the easiest thing to do on the inside of the parabolic hulkenberg allows him go past now lewis hamilton is getting a slipstream behind the renault and also behind the ferrari but leclaire has drs again because he passed through the detection zone behind the renault hamilton now pulls back to have a target leclair leclair stays ahead by about a car length length and a half this is a brilliant race, very smart positioning of his car there from charles leclair, did what you say, got some drs, going for it again, lewis hamilton got a great exit out of the chicane into the corner big, go, is it a big move by lewis hamilton towards dela rogi of the chicane the clown from the inside hamilton hits the gravel and has to take the escape route and you can hear the applause from malta all the way back to stevenage ferrari fans loved it mclaren closes goes through the chicane hamilton now he's right on the rear wing of that ferrari and once again onto the big sidewalk we go and hamilton is going to try which direction this time he wanted to go around outside has to change to the inside leclair.

In fact, he is making it very difficult zigzagging from one side of the track to the other and Hamilton can't overcome some vibrations. It is clear now a little mischievously that Leclair has maintained the lead by scampering through the beer leaving chunks of brake in his wake after pressuring shell leclair into making mistakes now he has made one himself michelle leclaire has gone brilliantly won her spa wins In Monza you have done it, it is a stop of less than two seconds for Max Verstappen who then has to stop when Kabitsa's Williams comes out of his box that Verstappen is stopped, the team did everything possible for him, but Williams came out at the wrong time For Verstappen it has cost him the advantage over Lewis Hamilton. on leclair if he can make it stink through mcgillio and he does, verstappen on the inside also tries to pass and now the gloves are really going to come off here because after the first sticks and hits verstappen is ready to deliver a knockout blow to lewis hamilton great move there lewis needed to do that it's just not working for ferrari he goes for stefan lewis tries to cover him for passing in turn one and he has made amends for being late in pit lane as soon as possible Opportunity available which was brilliant on his part by Max Verstappen, so if Verstappen comes in, you stay out and if Stafford stays out, you come in.

Albon goes straight for Sebastian Vettel here, while over the hill comes Will to Will with Lewis Hamilton on the outside of turn one. verstappen leaves he has the restart sorted that was fantastic magic today absolutely ruined fantastic oh i loved it he's looking in his rear view mirrors to see what's going on at the back it's max verstappen coming towards him hamilton moves towards the middle of the track forces a Verstappen wider into turn one and positions that combine wonderfully, but it is only temporarily that Lewis Hamilton could now maintain the maximum to advance as they head towards turn four Hamilton will force the staff to take the longer lap by the time they reach the corner , he's about a third of the car ahead when they come out of the corner he's a full car ahead of the outside I was outside the track limit when I passed Lewis so they told me to give them back the position it's fine for the moment , let it loose, loose, I returned the position and then tried again, but I didn't have the tires anymore, of course I had newer tires, but as soon as you get to the second and a half, they also degrade very quickly and it's super.

It's hard to keep up with these cars and you might not get drs, you might not get down the main straight and that will be manna from heaven for the Mercedes team and for Lewis Hamilton. I guess in my mind I was thinking, "Okay, if I can hold on." these tires don't make mistakes maybe they won't keep him at a distance, it was very difficult, verstappen missed his chance now it's going to be very difficult from here, he has to follow it to 12 and 13 and there is only one break point left it seems hamilton has made Quite extraordinary, Max Verstappen and Red Bull have put you under immense pressure here tonight, Mr.

Lewis Hamilton, as you now cross the line and win the Bahrain Grand Prix. max verstappen and red bull return home to take second place fireworks are going off around the bahrain international circuit come on lewis what a job mate what an amazing race. Verstappen goes inside once again. He is wheel to wheel with Charlotte Claire and Verstappen comes out next to that Ferrari. Verstappen has drs. Again, he's so close that he has to steer once again, but it's a very tricky part of the track to overtake if you're not ahead, you get into the braking zone and you play fair.

Bravo, Charles Claire, who was great defending where Verstappen will go. here the drs are very open winning on the ferrari switches early verstappen breaking late leclair this time he might have to give way when he goes off the track and when he returns max verstappen just ecstatic holland leads the austrian grand prix what the battle has been this is how Verstappen did it. How clean that Paul was. The wheels hit. I think he positioned himself perfectly. He had the right to the coroner. I was next to him with all four wheels. I hope they don't get a penalty for that. not really, it was a great race, it got a bit cozy a bit close during the workshop overtaking what's his view on it being a difficult race, otherwise we have to stay home?

The safety car is in, we can compete again. hamilton pulls out of kimi raikkonen's slipstream rikers not allowed to go fast and slow down again he's gone although he's gotten away but hamilton is in a great position for a slipstream into the hole straight there with a good exit hamilton continues ahead and gives a little push to the right side hamilton takes the lead of the italian grand prix and here comes kimi raikkonen back for the second round on the right and regains the lead in the italian grand prix and monza he goes crazy so here comes valtteri bottas with kimi raikkonen right behind him lewis hamilton is coming down the pit lane at this moment he will come out then behind kimi raikkonen as he has been for most of this race hamilton's closest one is Maybe only half a second when they cross the line Hamilton moves out and has to go around the outside with Kimi Raikkonen.

Can he take the lead in the Italian Grand Prix? he sure can. Kimmy Reicheline's staunch defense of her lead at the Italian Grand Prix comes to an end on lap 45 and championship leader Lewis Hamilton takes over as the leader of this crazy race at Monza. Can he now hold it to the flag? plaid? The championship leader has arrived at Monza and is going to win once again as Hamilton takes the checkered flag and victory at the Italian Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen comes home second. lures you are the man you are the man you hit it out of the park today just out of the park here comes nico rosberg in turn one for the lead this rossberg against hamilton hamilton defends himself rosberg has to concede the lead in a matter of meters they It was so close to touching which would have punctured Lewis's left rear and removing the spoiler was a bit aggressive on Lewis Hamilton Rosberg's part, part two, and he's going to test the interior again.

Ross chooses, has drs and this time Lewis Hamilton blocks. up as well as nico rosberg now that gives rosberg a chance to keep the lead it seems like that to me as they go up the hill now hamilton just couldn't get the traction to fight back but now he's going to get the slipstream and towards the turn 4 we go to the outside of the track hamilton is pushed rossberg makes his move around that right hand corner hamilton now tries to fight downhill this is where rosberg went off on the first lap this is where hamilton lap 19 regains the leadagain in the first corner we go, this is the lead now for rosberg hamilton manages to stay ahead there are no team orders in a mercedes rosberg will be much faster out of the corner to be able to accelerate, but Hamilton's cut on the inside line and those Stickier ties with Rosberg that give him better traction will also leave him some room.

He has gone completely off track. Nico Rosberg certainly won't give up, but now he has to as Hamilton reclaims the lead. again winning all the time a little behind, but he's going to go for it. Lewis Hamilton takes the lead once again. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have just completed the final lap and Mercedes.we are going to achieve one against two it is lewis hamilton who once again wins the grand prix hamilton triumphs in Bahrain yes, that's the job this weekend guys, we really didn't have the pace on this side of the garage, but still fantastic work, fantastic lewis and then a really great race, well done, well done, fantastic job, nico and best of all a great race, very well done, then someone should tell me that sport is boring.

One thing drivers like to do is go wheel to wheel and show exactly what they can. do and there is no hiding Hamilton and Rosberg's delight at the way they raced this afternoon.
