Chapter Text
Sky Sports - Formula 1 - LIVE - Presented by David Croft and Martin Brundle
Croft: “And it’s lights out and away we go! Max has a great start from the front row, George ahead of him from pole. Albon in eighth moves up to seventh as he passes Hadjar! Hamilton, who started at the middle of the pack, has moved up ahead of Antonelli and into the top five! OH LOOK AT THAT! Borteleto- no, sorry, Hulkenberg- has made contact with Liam Lawson, sending them both into the wall! Russell jets off ahead of Verstappen who is ahead of Piastri, followed closely by Norris. Hamilton, Antonelli, Albon, Hadjar, Alonso and Bearman round out the top ten going into the first lap!!”
Brundle: “What a start to this Grand Prix! Lawson and Hulkenberg are both still in it but they need some heavy-duty pit stops to keep fighting.”
Croft: “I think, if we listen to the radio-“
Hulkenberg Radio: “Nico, retire the car. We must retire the car.”
Hulkenberg Radio: “F—, okay.”
Croft: “Yes, Nico Hulkenberg is out of the race after contact with the Racing Bull.”
Brundle: “That’s gotta hurt.”
Croft: “Russell’s got a good three seconds on Max Verstappen right now, but Piastri is gaining speed! It’s a question of how the Australian plans to get past him and keep the spot- Oh my god!”
Brundle: “Norris takes a lunge for Piastri at the same time Piastri tries for third!”
Croft: “It’s contact for the two McLarens, and they’re spinning off the road! Oh, wow, that was unexpected.”
Brundle: “Just bad timing, wasn’t it. Both diving in at the same time like that.”
Croft: “It really was because now they’re both out of the race and a yellow flag has been called. And it’s only the first lap, can you believe it?”
Brundle: “It’s looking like it will be an entertaining race today.”
Piastri Radio: “Are you okay, Oscar?”
Piastri Radio: “Fine.”
Croft: “Our top five are now Russell, Verstappen, Hamilton, Antonelli and Alex Albon from Williams, who's having a superb weekend so far.”
Brundle: “I wonder if we’ll see any more overtakes from Albon here. I’m sure he’s really gunning for that podium finish.”
Croft: “Russell is close to finishing this first lap of the circuit a good four seconds ahead of Verstappen. Who I think got tagged by Piastri when the McLarens crashed.”
Brundle: “Yes, you can see his right rear wheel is struggling. He won’t be happy about that.”
Croft: “Certainly not. Red Bull was on a two stop strategy this race and now they’re scrambling to find the tires so Max can keep his pace.”
Brundle: “And hopefully catch Russell.”
Croft: “George is doing well this weekend, it’ll take a lot for Max to push past him. Not to say it can’t happen. As we’ve seen so far today: anything can happen once the lights go out!”

[ALT text: Photo of Albon’s radio, “We think you can get a podium, Alex. Focus on tire management.”
“The question is if I wanna share a podium with George and Max.”
“Just focus on the race.”
“It’s a valid concern, in my opinion.”]
