joins me to tell us more we weren't really expecting that where we were everyone was assuming that lewis hamilton would win but hey it's exciting for the rest of the season it's a good thing for the sport absolutely well let's have a look at the podium from the melbourne race then vettel managed to pass raves leisurely was how will it end during a safety car face leaving the british world champion to finish second ethel's ferrari teammates kimi raikkonen was third. so mark and you explain to us then how exactly that on managed to sneak that sneak is the right word because there was a virtual safety cafe's now for non f one fans that basically mean a car a stopped on the track at the broken down so all the other cars had to slow down including lewis hamilton it was late in the race it was the best invest all by fluke or by being very very clever we're not sure at the moment he was in the pits now in the pits although you're changing your tire as you can go the normal speed

so then he came out of the pits and he was in front of hamilton sadie's of admitted that they made a mistake hamilton could actually been a little quicker than he was going ensuring the safety car face that less said hey i was lucky i admit i was lucky but don't take it it was one hundred podium in his two hundredth race so they could have planned something like that is possible possible but the. split seconds are a disappointment though for hamilton at the bounce back do you reckon yes he can i mean he was the quickest driver all week and he was on pole let's be honest if this safety car if you hadn't of happened then hamilton would have won the race so most avi's from shouldn't be too wordy still on for a fifth world title at the end of the season but probably they're a little bit put said that he didn't manage to pass vettel once vettel was in front of them suggest the mercedes was lacking a little bit of power and maybe the ferrari is quicker than it was last season now their results what does that bode for the future well it makes it more competitive as a season yes it's only one race it was a bit of

a fluke but as i say it's good for the sport and the longer term is maybe even better for the sport because ferrari actually fretting to maybe quit the sport if plans are going to make all the teams have the same engine for said we're not doing that if you do that we're going to leave and the mercedes boss this week said a breakaway is a real possibility but actually if the season is already competitive without needing to make these rule changes then that's good and it stops the threat of a breakaway really ok mark cueto thank you very much for joining us here in studio . i'm moving on to tennis now where roger federer has announced he won't do. any cake or tennis tournament for a second year running that includes the french open a grandson's high school he last won almost a decade ago the swiss players and then spent came after he suffered a shock to face in the second round of the miami open by world's number one hundred and seventy five pound aussie kochi not his a loss this last may and he will use the world number one spot to arch rival rafael
