Transcripts
the Saudi Grand Prix is underway and
it's a good launch off the line for both
Red Bulls charlot Clair is under threat
now for second place for staffen leads
Perez will get his nose ahead Perez will
get second place charlot Clair's got the
grippy line has he got the room to fight
back as they all make their way through
the first corners of the first lap it's
for staffen but sh Clair fights back
into second position he went aggressive
and he maintains P2 that's bman off the
road as he begins life in Formula 1
slightly on the defensive it's staffen
lir Perez Alonzo piastri and Norris the
top six well managed from lir in those
opening Corners Perez looked like he had
got the job done but L swept back around
the outside of turn two which he can do
because it gives him the inside for four
and he made it stick the rest of it
looks fairly unchange further back but
I'm pretty sure or Lando Norris jumped
the start Perez had a great opportunity
here to take second place David he did
indeed and you'd think he did all the
hard work but just when it came to to
sort of closing that space down Charles
lir wasn't intimidated and this is when
it comes down to knowing your
competitors if that was Max for Staffing
alongside Charles lir Max would have
just run the car a little bit wider
making it absolutely clear that there
was no space for Charles Lando Norris at
the start no further
action Baron is starting his Formula 1
career on the front foot but he's got to
remember to stay to the right side of
the line as around the outside goes
Oscar piastri on Fernando Alonzo to take
fourth place and they're fighting all
the way by as bman had to hobble all
over the curb to keep his front
Wing here we go with Perez this is the
battle for second place he's diving to
the inside and Sergio Perez finds his
way by with the first opportunity that
he had in the Grand Prix looked like he
was going to take second place on lap
number one lap number four he's got 2.1
seconds between him and his teammate in
the lead of the
race this is into turn 22 look at how BR
off the road and into the wall a heavy
one at turn 23 Lance stroll into the
barriers and out of the race hit theall
okay can you bring it back l no I'm in
the wall all copy
that easy to criticize difficult to do
but he isn't a rookie
yeah everyone is coming into the pits
this is going to be so busy they're
going to stick on a hard set of tires
and maybe try and go to the end from
here really long long ranging one
stopper crucially gets out before the
Ferrari and in this situation there'll
be no no question of unsafe release yeah
and Perez flung into the path of
Fernando Alonso as it is incredibly
frantic stuff down there in the pit Lane
oh I nearly crash with a Red Bull so
close Sergio Perez gets a 5sec penalty
for an unsafe
release Here We Go Again it is very
tight between osar pastri and charlot
Clair for fourth Lando Norris leads then
it's Max stappen and that is very tight
as charlot Clair stays ahead and fends
off the Australian driver Alonzo trying
to profit from it in the green Aston
Martin has he got momentum to try and
retake the place that he lost from
pastri earlier in the race the answer is
no and they're close but there's no
change for
position side by side Alban goes that is
a tap that is damage and oon profited
what is he doing Kevin magson has been
given a 10-second time
penalty this is the bmer move little
dummy shimmy to the inside go on then I
like that I like that expression the
bearman
move Max is staing in the unusual
position of being in second place not
for long Max ven moves past and takes
the lead from Lando Norris he's back in
the lead of the race and he's not the
only Red Bull on the Move Perez improves
the Third
Charlotte Clair tried to go past Lewis
Hamilton outside line to the inside line
got to be brave to make that work is the
room there is and that's a great angle
to show you that getting to the Apex
first has worked for the lead Ferrari
driver in the race he's 1.7 seconds away
from Serio
Perez he's going to have a good
opportunity now to build up through the
gears to try and make his way by the H
is in the way but only for the moment
that's the pass he's been looking for
and the man on debut in Formula 1 is up
to
nth Kevin Magnuson has been given a
10-second time penalty for leaving the
track and gaining an
advantage oh you are kidding me aren't
you 10 seconds for that that's
harsh and the chance of a safety car
with these four brawling in the way that
they are well it goes up when they go
side by side cod's been looking for that
pass lap after lap Magnuson doesn't want
to give it up brilliant racing from the
pair of them Magnuson knows that he's
not going to score a point in the race
that is Defiance and it's cost Yuki Coda
because estan oon finally gives Alpine
something to smile about so this drive
from Magnuson is going to earn h a point
because hulkenberg at the end of this
lap should have a pit stop window to
come in and clear his teammate whoa
that's a send and a half for Alexander
Alin patience ran out at turn number one
it's only 14th but it looked great on
board Yuki Coda will not want to go
backwards the driver who started in
ninth position on the grid is passed
again as hulkenberg comes into the pits
we talked of that pit window a few
moments ago and hulkenberg is going to
blend out onto the racetrack and H might
have engineered a chance to get
hulkenberg into the
point we've had plenty of chapters of
this battle time and time again this is
the best run for Oscar piastri through
the the entire race and Hamilton's
defense comes to an end or does it
piastri locks up takes the place won't
be able to overtake like that he had the
momentum he had the over speed but he
couldn't slow down the McLaren and still
they battle over fifth
place bman if he keeps this consistency
he's actually just done his best lap of
the race he's only 10th and a half
slower than Norris absolutely cracking
drive this from Oly bman and no
struggling a bit with tires there he's
fighting with amton as well we can do it
great encouragement for the British
driver 18 years of age looking for
points in debut in Formula
1 this was Daniel Ricardo running in
16th Place and round he goes clouting an
apex cve rear tires that were probably
on the limit
already Max fappen is going to win the
opening two Grand Prix of the year a
ninth consecutive win Max vapen eat
sleep win repeat the stappen takes the
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to lead home a
Red Bull one two an outstanding result
for the team once again the Mexican fans
celebrating in that grand stand for St

Charlotte Clair comes home for his first
Podium finish of the season and look at
this moment for the 18-year-old from
Chelmsford points on debut for Oliver
