00:00That's where he's won Le Mans and the World Championships.

00:02We're now looking back at the brilliant visor cam of the Turn 11 hairpin,

00:08where you always miss the apex intentionally because it's a slightly banked corner,

00:12but a bit leery on the exit there.

00:16So, yeah, you've got to watch out for that,

00:18because that lives with you all the way up, that momentum all the way up the hill.

00:21Maybe sometime...

00:22Initial balance feeling, looks a little bit nervous, low speed perhaps.

00:25First off, Furukawa.

00:27He's happy.

00:29So good, the car is balanced.

00:30Sort something out on the rear suspension.

00:32You have to jack the car up to get to it,

00:35but that job is more or less done now,

00:37and it looks like Behrmann will rejoin the track.

00:41Double points.

00:42Behrmann's just been garage-bound for a few minutes.

00:44And Haas, I'm led to believe, Ted,

00:46fast-forwarding some of their development work for this year

00:50to bring upgrades floor-wise for this weekend.

00:54All-time best lap here, by the way.

00:561.27.0, Sebastian Vettel in 2019.

01:00I dare say that could be under threat this year

01:02by the time we really get going in earnest.

01:06Lando Norris through the chicane.

01:10He's always been aggressive.

01:12Sorry, he's always been aggressive over those kerbs, isn't he, Lando Norris?

01:16How is the balance that lap?

01:17The balance is okay.

01:19To be honest, I'm not really pushing it up yet.

01:20But I think it's okay.

01:22To feel the limit of his car.

01:25They head off to their new partnership with Aston Martin.

01:30Is it because he's a Honda driver?

01:36Is it because he's a Honda driver

01:39that Red Bull kind of overlooked him a little bit?

01:42If Honda were staying around for a couple more years,

01:45would he have been in that seat for Australia, for instance?

01:47Well, he got into Red Bull and the family because of Honda.

01:51Yeah, the teams are well-equipped these days

01:54to come to a circuit with all that knowledge.

01:59We worked out, Jacques...

02:00Box, box, box, box, box.

02:03We are at the beginning of the pit lane.

02:06Yeah, it's the championship winning teams are all at the end.

02:12I forgot he wasn't at Ferrari anymore.

02:14I forgot he wasn't at Ferrari and forgot that he was at Suzuki.

02:18You must have got into the wrong pit box at some stage.

02:21I'm trying to remember if it happened.

02:23I spun in the pit lane, that I remember.

02:27I don't remember if I stopped at the wrong place.

02:29But, you know, he spent how many years at Ferrari?

02:31How many years stopping in one place?

02:33And drivers have a lot of memory.

02:34And a lot of the driving happens with memory.

02:36So he gets in the pit and he forgot he wasn't winning.

02:38He just drove, OK, every time in Suzuki, what do I do?

02:41I go to the end of the pit lane.

02:42And yeah, one of the sensors at the rear was giving us some dodgy data.

02:47So Mike came out and cleaned the sensor and the car went back out again.

02:52Talking of data, how's the correlation looking

02:55between your brand new wind tunnel,

02:57still hasn't got any dust on it yet,

02:59and what you're seeing at the track?

03:02That's a big topic for every aerodynamicist, correlation.

03:06The challenge of CFD to wind tunnel to track.

03:09To correlate, to make sure it's the same as the other wind tunnel.

03:12What you see in the wind tunnel, does it work on the racetrack?

03:14How does the driver actually feel it?

03:16That takes a long time.

03:18It's a brilliant facility.

03:19That was a bit aggressive once again from Lando Norris.

03:22After an Australia, the bar one corner was also pretty perfect.

03:27Yes, true.

03:29But that one corner cost him so much.

03:31He's been on pace for the first two races.

03:34Last year, we saw a bit of a yo-yo, you know, up and down.

03:37Some races impressive, some others off the pace.

03:40It wasn't constant.

03:41And like he said himself, and he comes off a win.

03:44Exactly.

03:44And with all due respect to Alex Albon,

03:46who had his 29th birthday in Shanghai,

03:48I don't think we have come closer to getting a third member

03:52of the birthday club for quite some time.

03:54Sonoda goes second fastest.

03:56I don't know whether he's actually had the time to do that yet.

03:59You can look at data from inside the car when you come into the pits,

04:03but it would have only been a brief moment.

04:06He'll get more of a...

04:06Whoa, that's another moment there for Norris.

04:10I think the problem is here, guys,

04:11is that he keeps hitting that right kerb too much in 16th.

04:16So they have a good read now on what the car band should be in.

04:20Oh, big lock up from Alex Albon.

04:22That's the hairpin.

04:24And we saw in China how damaging it was for cars to follow each other.

04:30Yeah.

04:30And to go back to our, you know, how the races were won,

04:34they were won by pole sitters because they could control that race

04:37because they managed to destroy the cars behind them.

04:41That was a lot tidier, wasn't it?

04:44Much more like it.

04:44No visual disturbance.

04:47No disturbance.

04:48And goes fastest on the soft tyre.

04:51Still didn't claim the fastest sector of all in the third sector.

04:55So, yeah, it's still a little bit of work to do for McLaren and from Lando

04:59as Hamilton goes P4.

05:01Fernando Alonso going...

05:04I think it's the tape flying on the hood, on the front.

05:07There was, yeah, a little tape flap.

05:10Yeah, there is.

05:10You can just see by the number 14.

05:13It's not good for aero at speed.

05:16Would he see that?

05:18Very easily could have gone off and sent him into the barrier.

05:20We're going to see here with Max Verstappen coming into the final chicane.

05:24Is it traffic related?

05:26No, it's just a lock up.

05:27Cold front, right front tyre there.

05:30No harm done with that one on a prep lap.

05:34But yeah, with Antonelli, who currently, by the way,

05:36hangs on to the fastest final sector.

05:39I wondered who had that when we saw Norris's close DRS

05:43via the steering wheel button instead of normally you'd lift off or brake

05:48and the DRS closes because of that.

05:51So, yeah, it's a little bit of a unique circuit design

05:55and not really integrated that well with DRS.

05:59Obviously, you can't run DRS before 130R for the same reason.

06:03So you're a little bit stuck with this circuit and where you can use it.

06:07That's why we only have the one zone.

06:09And even that is tricky.

06:11Yeah.

06:12Just on that subject then, we had the same, didn't we,

06:15down the Sir Lewis Hamilton straight at Silverstone?

06:18We did have.

06:19I mean, it's been the same for him every lap that he's gone into there.

06:22But here's the replay.

06:23Let's have a listen to this.

06:27Yeah, it's just grabbed the front left, hasn't it?

06:30Similar to what Albon suffered.

06:32Yeah, locked up.

06:34Excuse me, of his teammates, Esteban Ocon.

06:37Lock up from Carlos Sainz.

06:38He's not going to be using those tyres for very much longer anyway.

06:42Into the chicane.

06:44He just doesn't look at home, does he?

06:46It doesn't look like he's at home in this car yet.

06:48And I'm sure it will come.

06:50He's an experienced driver and obviously incredibly fast and well accomplished.

06:57Is that blooming marvellous for Lando Norris?

07:00We'll find out on Sunday, I'm sure.

07:02Tenth and a half between the McLaren driver and championship leader.

07:06And George Russell, who's picked up a couple of podiums in his first two races this season.

07:10Charles Leclerc, third, fourth Ferrari ahead of his teammate, Lewis Hamilton.

07:14Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda separated by a tenth of a second in fifth and sixth.

07:18Then came Fernando Alonso and Isaac Hadja.

07:22Impressive showing from him.

07:24Kimi Antonelli and Carlos Sainz completed the top ten.

07:27Sainz having it all his own way.

07:29But he did have more pace over that push lap than his teammate, Alex Albon.

07:33It was 11th fastest.

07:34Ryu Hirakawa can put his feet up now for the rest of the weekend.

07:38His FP1 is done.

07:39Liam Lawson, 13th on his return to Racing Bulls.

07:43And it was Gabriel Bortoletto who brought up the rear.

07:46Just 1.6 seconds separating all 20 drivers.

07:50That's FP1 done and dusted.
