14 Laps That Changed The Race! | 2024 British Grand Prix

just keeping poed if I going off that's going slightly harder now you think 5 minutes of this intensity rain there may be a bit heavier yeah rain completely dry light now copy that we're seeing some very light drops probably for one or two laps and then heavier rain starting after that yeah supp BL drizzle everywhere if it stayed dry we know the McLaren does go extreme well once the tires are beginning to wear out when we get the rain that could change everything spitting turn everywhere right now copy that L I think it will stay like this quite light for around 5 more minutes then it will start to increase put slightly we expect heavy rain now it's going to happen soon I can see a big r the distance he we got that on the radar yeah L 15 a bit more okay we expected the rain to come from that direction so it might be coming across the circuit now okay make rain intens toy from now looking a bit heavier in turn seven and 15 yeah 15 copy that also probably 17 18 caution and heavier rain should only last around 5 minutes if we can stay out could be good Russell still with the advantage 1.8 seconds with Lando Norris now closing that Gap a little bit look at pastri within DRS range of fapen really hauling him in Max is struggling so fen's tires are wearing out big moment in 1050 but there a w copy that we saw that it's only going to get wetter from this point I think this R is going to affect the grip copy so there that's right yes Oscar more rain in pit LAN clearly class one in pit lanane now we're ready if you need we're ready if you need and the Australian is really getting that much closer where he's going to be as close as Lando Norris was let's see he's got DRS in operation he's getting that extra straight line speed as they head down towards St corner he goes for the inside and yeah he's through as well as long as he can make the corner it's a bit slippery it's raining it's really slippery he took the inside line and then immediately thought he got in deep look The Umbrellas are going up the rain of the distance looks very heavy turn 15 onwards where it's going to hit first Russell is slow in 15 and also 17 18 a caution 15 and 17 it's not wet enough for rage yet we think it's more than class one in the pit Lane now we are ready whenever you want it let's not go too early getting slippery yeah got got be rot everywhere wind picking up okay as soon as you think into we need to know okay heaviest rain sector three overall lap time hasn't changed that much just don't want to put the in on too early to damage them so this is this go over as then just going be better but potentially there'll be a small low and then it's going to get heavier later this is it this is Hamilton now at full flow the track's getting slippery Russell's feeling cautious they've just lost 3 seconds of lap time on the last tour and Hamilton's got a lot more confidence than his teammate got point two will have DRS the RS is still enabled and Hamilton's going to get it and he's going to draft straight past Russell here and just caution with the w George Russell trying to defend from his teammate can he do anything I don't think he can leis Hamilton takes the lead of the British Grand Prix from his teammate Mercedes still running one two in the damp conditions but Hamilton becomes race leader once again we think ERS this lap we think inter this lap what do you think no it's righty everywhere else unless you think it's going to get reallyy heavy if you think his inter you can Bo this lap okay how long we it another 10 minutes leader still staying out get ready it's very tricky now yeah it's whole circuit to get like this this is as bad as it's going to get both off both run wide so far all cars have stayed out careful sector one careful sector one yeah they both rejoined very unsafely it's really chucking it down and none of them have pitted noris to the inside land on Norris takes second place a turn one both Mercedes have gone off not that heavy in the pit Lane but just caution turn one DRS disabled so do I need to survive do thisit I just need to survive ideally yes but not if we can't the RS has been disabled now because it's low grip conditions officially the message has come up so that helps Hamilton with Norris just 1.3 seconds down and bearing in on the lead box copy that's pretty heavy now how long will it last it's hard to stay on track that should laps a couple of laps and then we have a pause and then comes again in five LS that's a l TR man yeah as Max dry to wet your call this is incredibly challenging for drivers in these conditions when you're on slick tires in wet conditions like this wait a second before boxing cuz B of the track pry Drive box for inters unless you disagree box for unless you disagree disagree this is survivable then we should stay out L this is survivable box box copy box we box for inters leader still staying out lost it look how close Landon Norris is to Lewis Hamilton there's a real chance he's going to overtake in an unusual area he's done it Lando Norris now takes the lead of the British Grand Prix and gets through that corner where there were so many in and now Hamilton's actually back under pressure from his teammate so Hamilton found the grip first now he's just looks like he's struggling Russell's there pastry around the outside can he do the fapper move on the first lap yes he can if he can get the power down George keeps it in on the inside oh pastri gets the place wobble wobble and he's up into third position this is so tight p behind now and L we think it's time to jump to in let us know what you think no okay it's dry in a lot of places okay so lir pitch this has got to be inter surely for Char lir then thinking that it's just too wet but it's on a knife edge to whether it's actually worth taking a set of intermediates could be next lap reducing in intensity for as they go down towards though they threw maggots and beckets now these sweeps one way and then the other and it is wet here be careful otherwise it's so easy to go run and wide Hamilton's in trouble past's got a beautiful line on the exit this could be a McLaren one two it does look like it Oscar piastri getting alongside Louis Hamilton just has to finish the move down into stone corner and he's done it he's into second place as long as he can hold it together yes mode six mode six quicker than the cars ahead Max will be difficult at six yeah understood inters don't look better currently all of the top cars stay out lir pitted for inters so is Perez so is Aon and it's just whether this rain is going to continue to fall or if it's passing doing very well mate no risks L cler is not quicker try now it's hard to know if it's trying much this is a really tough call from driver to strategist to try and understand what to do you can make or break the race in these laps with a wrong cool ran keep updating me on weather yes it's in three laps now in three laps that it everything oh it's too dry man it's too dry there's rainc coming so lir and Perez are staying out on inters but they are 12 seconds per lap slower in these conditions they're waiting for the rain to fall again but the problem is they're also going to destroy the intermediate tire for when the heavier rain does come so when the rain starts it might start gradually so we shouldn't jump too early rainy 15 more rain in 10 15 yeah already a little bit more 10 okay we are ready whenever I don't know what do you think one more lap one more lap at least it's class one to two on the pit Lane but not anywhere else so Norris lost three t0 in 15 and then 510 two more T in 167 17 very dark so when the rain comes it will be here for about 25 minutes yeah get a bit slippery now if you think it's going to get a lot more next lap I think it's better to box conditions Max that's so far enough but I don't know how quickly the clowd is coming in understood Oscar we need to coordinate both cars here as well yeah it's too early for just y popping Oh Charlotte CL going off they're worn out he's been driving round on intermediates on a dry track for five six laps now and they're shot if it rains again he'll need to put on another set i'm slower than the Sleep guys on the w we can see next car is Ven and SS [Music] yeah a lot more sleepy now s okay we think it's going to stay this intensity for 10 minutes or so 10 minutes like this expect this intensity I think it's Clos I think it's Clos to Oscar should we pit if Lando stays out yes they're having to work once again Norris on the last up three and a half seconds off his best luck pastri is within a second and applying the pressure it's too hard to know right now I think we need to keep going poy it's raining now harder and harder understood you need Bo yeah I take so ready okay box is up for how long this R 20 minutes box is up look at this Landon Norris under even more pressure now from Oscar piastri piastri getting closer and closer okay maybe not long like this it's going to get worse okay box box look stable look stable okay box okay box leaders are staying out staing has taken it you just shout on tires we're here when you need us he coming coming he's coming Tire position seven Tire position seven okay we're stopping and signs pitted the other leaders stayed out more rain we need to these guys are going to have to double stack at the end of this lap as well you got two McLarens and then two Mercedes shadowing them and if the rain continues to fall then they're going to have to both come in on the same lap surely so the snap in for inter signs him for inter this rain we reckon is going to stay okay me we have priority here thoughts is it going to get any harder than this or not we think it will rain similar to similar to this for 10 minutes but it is getting wetter P Sten and SS took it hulkenberg's made a pit stop as well L stroll into the pit hulkenberg not a great Pit Stop bit slow very tricky in will be very close to be quick enough understood it's going to be very difficult just keep it on the track so this is undercut territory now for vapen on the intermediate these guys are Tippy Toe round on slicks trying to get back to the pits Lando we suggest box this lap box this lap confirm box box box okay the staffen is quicker okay how much I'm going to l a l time Lando is pitting Lando is pitting suggest stay out C stay out the only Norris who's told to come in but this could hurt pastri later Hamilton's told to come in Russell's in behind him so Norris Hamilton and Russell in pit Lane reset switches if you need to Max the Sapp is now 3 seconds clear of s and he's driving nicely on this out laap let be close with the stappen on exit caution into the [Music] box Launch map Launch map Launch map Green F4 green F4 this close with s on [Applause] exit will be the clerk ahead of us but don't worry about push St Behind still push St in turn one Perez is a car behind you okay you pass Russell that's Hamilton ahead Max so that is an important gain for Max V Sten the Mercedes have double shuffled with box this lap could box great call for the inter come on we're back in the race here that was a clever call by Red Bull No Doubt about it they got it right pastri will be struggling on this in laap he was looking really good as the rain fell but he was 20 seconds away from a Drive Pace on the last La so this is really going to hurt Oscar piastri and blue B5 blue B5 expecting 20 minutes at this rain level everybody fitting into us now we expect this rain to start reducing in around 15 to 20 minutes okay we're box this lap box this lap copy but into the pits comes Oscar piastri who's really missed out by not being called at the same time as Norris Launch map on Launch map and silver entry n silver entry 9 this is going to cost him dear and he's going to drop well down in that top 10 group hulkenberg went on to intermediates at a good time but he's quite someway behind caros SS because SS came in on the same lap as Max V staffen here the pict to behind is Hamilton 3 the staing at seven this is proper wet conditions now piastri emerges in sixth position he was in second expect this rign to last until lap 40 at turn four just P now good job
