Race Highlights | 2024 British Grand Prix

we're all set for the start of the British Grand Prix halfway through the 2024 season lights out away we go George Russell gets a good getaway leis Hamilton tucks in behind watch out for Max for Sten on the inside of Lando Norris behind but George Russell comfortably through the first Corner into turns two and three and Vesta has to keep a little bit of an eye on piastri behind him Lando Norris now BR pressure on Hamilton but runs a wheel over the curve ven's got the outside line that works really well for Max V and he gets in front of the McLaren and he's going to have a chance at passing Lewis Hamilton immediately as well Lewis checks the mirror down the Wellington straight here towards Brooklyn and he doesn't need to go defensive theen though has made a crucial pass there on Norris yeah Lando just puts himself in a bit of a precarious position there with with ls Hamilton nowhere near alongside to commit to that on the outside was just drifting wide and Max picked up the pieces nicely now let's see what the contact here for Alex albor oh that's the contact so it was in the melee with hulkenberg but it was actually Fernando Alonzo that he hit rain expected in seven laps lasting for 10 minutes and if it's heavy rain 10 minutes of it is going to really change things charir still keeping the pressure on the green Aon Martin as they head down towards their corner and charl Clair has a good dive down the inside this time and stroll didn't seem to fight that too hard charl Clair Zips past made it look quite easy and this could be a chance for Lando yeah absolutely right he was quick through back it's quicker than I expected he's got DRS Lon Norris is going on the attack and he passes Max for Sten massive cheers from the grand stands as Lando Norris gets past his huge rival norrris up into third and the Australian is really getting that much closer whether 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 really slippery he took the inside line and then immediately thought he'd gone in deep look The Umbrellas are going up DRS is still enabled and Hamilton's going to get it and he's going to draft straight past Russell here 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 onew in the damp conditions but Hamilton becomes race leader once again here at silverston we got a long way to go in this race and conditions are continueed to change teammate George Russell oh both off both run wide and we'll look out for Norris who stays on the track is he going to close right into the pack as well Russell rejoins just ahead of Norris pastri is off in the background it's really chucking it down and none of them have pitted Norris to the inside Lando Norris takes second place that was brilliant stuff by Lando Norris he saw the two Mercedes running deep and he managed to break a little earlier the track is getting slower and slower we're now running about 108% if it hit hits around 112 before we get through this pocket then they will have to box otherwise everyone's trying to hold on rain Gap and then big rain coming later look how close Lando Norris is to leis Hamilton there's a real chance he's going to overtake and 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 incidents 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 pestry around the outside can he do the vppa move on the first slam 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 and it is wet here be careful otherwise it's so easy to go and run and wide Hamilton's in trouble piastri has got a beautiful line on the exit this could be a McLaren one two it does look like it Oscar piastri getting alongside Lo Hamilton just has to finish the move down into Stow corner and he's done it he's into second place as he can hold it together yes that corner has been working very well for him thein's going to pit and Red Bull now roll the dice which may work because it looks like this is the time to come in for intermediates yeah I agree with you I think that might be a very good move to come in right now SS coming in as well it's only Norris who's told to come in but this could hurt pastri later Hamilton's told to come in Mercedes double stack Russell's in behind him there's ven behind Hamilton but now ahead of George R so that is a good important gain for Max ven 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 dry Pace on the last lap so this is really going to hurt Oscar piastri and piastri you could see look at the order he's just dropping dropping down that order and we shall wait to see whether Hulen no he's out well in front of hulkenberg in fact on board with Kevin Magnuson what was he up to oh my goodness he didn't well to save that I have seen many a car end up on that inside barrier you get out wide and look at the moisture coming off that the painted surface on the outside oh oh Russell's being told retire the car George Russell in the pits oh my goodness the man who started from Pole Position who took Victory last week in Austria he is out of the British Grand Prix oh he's never had a Podium here and it continues this time with a dnf oh Shake of the head for George Hamilton's in and Norris stays out he comes past the commentary box so this is fascinating is this going to be the right decision to go onto the slick tires on this lap interestingly V staffen has come in as well we need to Fox the sof better now any slick in he comes this has got to be perfect it has Hamilton was a second and a half quicker in the middle sector McLaren might have blown it by staying one extra lap and Lewis is going to come through if Lando has a decent pit stop with tires fired up and a chance to win L's so long in his box as well it's not a great stop and Hamilton is just going out of the club corner and heading on down past the start finish straight he's going past us and Louis Hamilton I think is going to be in front as they come out yes he's got there's Hamilton Hamilton comes out in front of Lando Norris and the pit stop that Mercedes chose was perfect from that point of view it has switched the two leaders around and it's multiple British grand prix winner leis Hamilton who is now back in front watch them through here if the Gap closes between Vera and Lando Norris through this part which stays fairly no it's actually a good exit from Max there though and the DRS will be coming in this is a chance to close right in on Lando Norris Here Comes Max vep and he moves to the outside and he makes the move he's up in a second place and Lando was not able to fight that he is about to head for victory as he comes into the final Corners here at silveron the crowds are going crazy leis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix he takes his ninth win at silverston his first win in nearly a th000 days in Formula 1 his 104th Victory ever absolutely brilliant get in there leis you
