02:11

on the lap to the gridge and Lando

important for lir to try and make the

02:18

pass early using one of the DRS zones

02:21

How brave is lir

02:22

feeling now that move isn't done yet but

02:25

lir makes the pass shuts the door and

02:29

takes the long way round to take sixth

02:32

place ah There's an opportunity now for

02:35

the Ferrari that was late to pull out of

02:37

the slipstream but that's another

02:39

position gained for the man from Monaco

02:41

through go charlot Clair he's up to

02:43

fifth and he's going chasing Fernando

02:47

02:50

stappen all by himself as Perez comes in

02:53

in fact he's so far ahead Red Bull can

02:54

double stack not even worry about it

02:56

that is so impressive from Red Bull 2.1

02:59

and two second stops backto

03:03

back problem for valy botas he'd been

03:07

having a good weekend he was challenging

03:09

for the points but still still he can't

03:12

find his way to the top

03:15

10 thankfully for Norris he will take

03:17

the the 8C benefit that you get for uh

03:20

for pitting under the VSC 15sec loss

03:22

instead of a

03:24

23 and the full safety car is out they

03:27

cannot move that car due to this man's

03:29

retirement and into the pitch we come

03:32

with Max vapen and Perez has been called

03:35

in Red Bull will have to double stack

03:37

once again Perez is going to lose track

03:39

position here so through goes Norris up

03:42

to second place it will change for you

03:43

on the left hand side and Perez drops

03:46

down now Alonzo comes into the pits can

03:48

lir get out before the Mexican driver

04:31

spin in the background for one of the

04:34

vabs and there you go oh that is so

04:37

disappointing for Yuki Coda who is

04:39

04:41

intervention that car looks like it's in

04:43

trouble at the back Magnuson on board

04:46

04:48

04:50

Magnuson puncher maybe more for Yuki

04:52

Coda this is on board the Japanese

04:56

driver and this was against Carlos SS

04:59

and that's the soft tire in full

05:01

operating well it caused chaos but once

05:03

05:05

and he got past

05:07

sights take two this time the pass for

05:11

stroll who's able to get past ah

05:13

Magnuson leaves a wheel in and they

05:16

somehow make their way around the corner

05:19

stroll leaves the widest birth possible

05:22

and this is really really great battling

05:25

for the last place on the road because

05:27

Daniel Ricardo has come into the pits

05:30
