Martin has a great opportunity as we go to turn one How brave is he feeling to the inside of the corner well it was very brave but Norris well he hung on and he's kept the place he's in sick it was braver for Norris to hang on around the outside on those mediums there turning in on Fernando who looked pretty committed the soft thighs are still working Lando goes defensive up to four Alonzo again to the inside and Norris hangs on but it'll be wide through that corner will they make it through Alonzo with the nose ahead these two Corner after Corner still battling and Jord Russell takes the lead both McLaren on the back foot and Russell on the soft tires fights the way through this race could yet come back to Oscar piastri on the mediums but what a gamble for George Russell who started fourth on the grid and now holds the lead and see at what point oh he Nails it on the brakes talk about Brave that was one of those what we call a block pass send it and then the sort to out big move

slipstream he's going to get the place 10 laps to go and it's another pass of a stappen sough runner starting to struggle now this race is going to come back to us and this now is the battle for the lead after a bold move at The Hairpin for George Russell we welcome back to the fight Oscar piastri Russell got the launch off the line he then got the lead but now he might be about to lose it the Australian rookie driver ignores the defense from George Russell and takes the lead back at the Sprint in just his 17th Grand Prix weekend we are seeing the charge from piastri and it's not the only McLaren going the long way round all the way round what a superb pass from Lando Norris excellent stuff as he fights his way by and the soft tire is fading fast well that brilliant contact that's Perez Perez off the road he was racing hulkenberg he's in the gravel and we might need a third safety car intervention well Perez out confirms Max aaen as the champion of the world once again bit of contact there puncture for roon immediately and that was him spinning into Perez they sandwich me hulkenberg who scored points last in Formula 1 in a Sprint race trying to take the place back he was on the medium Tire okon's softs were fading okon always defends for all he worth Perez trying to take him both three into one does not go out goes Perez out goes okon yeah look okan has uh come across

flag flies once again piastri desperately trying to take us back to green flag conditions by using all of the road and a bit more and there's a good launch off the final corner for one of the Ferraris in the background of Charla Clair who dips out of it and tries to take Lando Norris back but the medium Tire will now fire up and it's a great restart for piastri as lir manages to fight back on the old soft tires and he's up to fifth George Russell was passed down into turn number one will it be the r rookie taking his first Formula 1 Victory of any description will it be Max a stappen sealing the title on the top step here's the chance for Lando to retake the fifth place that he lost right now with the both tires into the working window there's no contest down into turn one he's not just thinking about getting past one Ferrari he's thinking about getting both Ferraris and he was on the Dust trying to avoid hitting his old teammate these two work together brilliantly for signs to take
