Race Highlights | 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

we go racing in Five Lights time and the

Grand Prix is underway even reaction

time at the front of the field Lando

Norris is going to try and put the

pressure on Max aaen holds the lead the

two Ferraris side by side who's going to

lead into turn number one it's going to

be Max a stappen who's ahead of Lando

Norris and it's grid order for the top

four Oscar pastri still in fifth

position no change for anyone until you

look all the way back down to Lewis

Hamilton who's up to seventh position

gaining a couple of places as well as

hogenberg it was a poor getaway for Yuki

Coda he dropped down to ninth Perez made

a place on those hard tires as they make

their way through the opening corners of

the Grand Prix fairly cleanly the top

five as they were when they left the

grid Max a stpp and leads as we go on

board with hulkenberg another good top

10 qualifying and gets that initial

launch yes come on

problem for Alex Alan in the Williams

and the tie driver is coasting slowly he

come in for the stop I think I've got a

problem TI not on

properly he presents the car beautifully

lined up as it's supposed to let's see

I'm not sure did you see the time on

that stop because in actual presentation

terms he did his job wonder if it was

the front right right did they did it

look like the uh the gunman was going

back at that front right as the car was

being committed to go back out on

drag so One V carb in last time around

the pressure on the team back out onto

the circuit 2.3 seconds is exactly the

sort of stop that they were looking for

this in turn is going to be good news

for Perez because surely hulkenberg will

pit on the next lap this is the German

driver who is into the pits the man

heading to what will become Audi in a

couple of years Saba next year then Audi

in 2026 2.5 seconds is important but

what about that out laap this is crucial

in the constructor's championship and

Yuki sonoda goes a lap earlier goes to

work around this three M Racetrack and

crucially for vabb gets ahead of the H

and

hulkenberg peris's going to make a

mistake here because he had a very very

slow lap last time around and we saw the

ason Martin right behind he did he went

off went off yeah it's easily done but

unfortunately very costly and what will

the ramifications of that be later in

his race could he's just lost a few

seconds Oscar fiastri hitting his marks

that's a good stop as well for McLaren

2.2 that's Yuki sonoda Ah that's the

overtake that we were mentioning earlier

in the broadcast can you turn the

outside into the inside and improve your

position sonoda up to 12th with that and

hulkenberg fighting Sergeant knows that

if he's going to try and stay with the

Japanese driver in have to be inventive

and he was yeah Logan Sergeant must be

feeling punch drunk after those two

moves this is on ball with ls Hamilton

into Aqua

minale yeah just bought him out and

locked up under rotation and straight

through the

gravel toen retaking the lead that he

held at the start of the race this is

going to be such an important moment in

the Grand Prix for Oscar pastri as charl

Clair gets used to those hard tires and

how they compare to the mediums can

piastri put the pressure

on time for another overtake now with

Sergio Perez he's cleared the H of Nico

hulkenberg and he's up to ninth position

yeah fairly straightforward Just Pure

Performance fresher tires and on route

to uh towards

sonoda and the rb20 the Red Bull car

behind out of the slipstream and that's

an easy pass up to e sonoda looking for

another points finish again today

hulkenberg completing it and Ricardo

just trying to put the pressure on the

H here's the chance for L stro wow slam

dunk stuff three he goes with the better

drive off the corner through he goes in

the Aston

Martin this is Charla Clair he's heading

to the VAR an ala yeah I thought he'd

Scamp it over the shame and he just

takes the route across the turns on the

racetrack to make up 14 and 15 yeah that

didn't work for him at all not that that

was a strategy that was a

mistake here's stroll making the pass he

uses the DRS he uses the greater speed

he uses the fresher tires and he gets by

up to ninth position Canadian driver

finds himself improving and that's a

good return to the points if he can stay

there the main loss is to Lando turn two

turn six yeah my tires work me uh just

information Max that's all yeah for

me the happing is complaining about I

see I see I

see okay

I'm so I guess the main thing to focus

on now Max is as the Gap is less than 5

Seconds we really can't afford any track

limits so focus on that mate there he is

he can see the race leader the laps are

ticking down and Max knows he's got to

be just a little bit more careful on

track limits which might cost you a

tenth or two lap just that in itself

this is going to be absolutely

fascinating Norris knowing that if he

can keep it clean he will be able to

have the chance to heat the pressure on

can he let me R even more

stupid and Lando happy to push turn n a

little bit more and push it as much as I

can it and we've seen some great GR R

fre so far this year but we haven't

really seen a battle like this all the

way to the end Lando Norris he told us

he was pushing DC and we saw that he's

absolutely ringing the neck of that car

I'm so sorry for the sound effects but

that's within like a know not even 3/4

of a kilometer he's been right over the

edge of the rear tire

twice he's uped his own pace aaen he was

1,000th off his best lap of the race on

the last lap Norris is still chiming

away some decent lap time still slightly

quicker than lir behind on the last tour

but ven has managed to find a little bit

more gaps as low as it's been though 1.4

seconds still Norris sliding on the rear

end this one-time Contender now grand

prix winner trying to force the error

from Max V stappen they're getting

closer to home Norris chasing for

stappen all the way to the checkered

flag right the next big stop is the

tricky one this is where we know Perez

made a mistake earlier in the Grand Prix

the Sten is going to have to go slightly

cautious fappen is nearly there he's

nearly home Lando Norris has chased him

all the way to the flag but Max V

stappen will take back the top step Max

ven wins in IMA what a finish from those

two across the line it's new opposition

for vapen but the same result the Dutch

driver does it again and he beats Lando

norrris by 710 of a

second shla Clair completes the podium

and how wonderful was it to see two

brilliant drivers battling all the way

to the end of lap 63
