00:00Some pace and some performance out of that car, but other drivers wouldn't. Would you agree?

00:05Yeah, you know, I think, one of the big questions that I think we will get answered here,

00:12that I feel we didn't in Japan, is about Yuki Tsunoda.

00:17Because actually, until Q1, he looked pretty good, didn't he?

00:22He was only, you know, generally between one and three tenths away from Max,

00:27which is a lot closer than we've seen Liam Lawson earlier this year,

00:31or Checo Perez towards the end of last year.

00:32So, but he made one big mistake.

00:35I got an issue.

00:37Copy, copy.

00:39So just let it go on in.

00:41So strap over one, strap over one.

00:44That's a shame, Kimi Antonelli.

00:46Oh, he's got a flat spot on the front right tyre as well.

00:48Oh, he has, isn't he? From the lock-up earlier on.

00:50Yeah, he's clearly got some reliability issue,

00:52but he's got the front right flat spot, you can see quite clearly.

00:57The Orlando Norris has gone quickest so far in the McLaren.

01:02We've talked about, oh, let's have a listen.

01:04Yeah, I got no power, man.

01:05Yeah, copy.

01:06Reset, a control-alt-delete in the garage.

01:08Well, we'll hear from Ted.

01:10I'm watching the onboard here up at race control,

01:12and he's coming through turn 13 at the moment,

01:14so he's heading down.

01:15He's only got one more corner to go.

01:17So the good news is he's able to get back to the pits,

01:19and Ted and the Mercedes team, I'm sure,

01:26will be welcoming him in.

01:27They're actually right opposite our country box.

01:29They are.

01:30A team out in the pit lane.

01:32Because psychologically, for Max to win that race

01:35was powerful for Max and the Red Bull team

01:38in the World Championship battle.

01:40That's what I was going to ask you.

01:40I mean, it would have been a surprise to them,

01:42but also, that would have been a real reality check,

01:44wouldn't it?

01:45Yeah, I don't think swapping the cars

01:47would have done anything, to be honest,

01:48because, obviously, Vesta going deep at 10,

01:51so, again, locking the front there into the final corner.

01:55So he's really struggling with front locking there,

01:58which was, by the way, something we saw at Antonelli

02:01here at the test pre-season.

02:02He was struggling with a lot of front locking.

02:03Yeah, it feels like the car's not working at all,

02:05but it's probably just a grip of the tyres.

02:08Try to maximise full throttle to fully charge it.

02:11Copy that.

02:12Lewis not happy in the front.

02:15Yeah, absolutely not.

02:17Let's have a look at this.

02:20Isaac Hadja into the final corner.

02:22Oh, just locks up the front end there

02:24and goes wide, so...

02:27So, I see, the wind isn't actually behind them.

02:30It's a headwind on the star finish straight

02:32at the moment, so, yeah, just a pure lock-up there.

02:37As Landon Orris as well lock-up into turn 10,

02:40which we're going to see a lot of people doing that

02:43throughout this weekend.

02:50Nice to see the car, though, in slow-mo.

02:53Really, we're not going to sacrifice next year for this year.

02:56And, James, just finally from me, we've been talking a lot about young driver programmes,

03:00young driver development.

03:01You were very involved at Mercedes with Kimi Antonelli's development.

03:05We see you've had Victor Martens testing recently as well.

03:08Is he now part of the Williams driver programme?

03:12Can you just shed a bit of light on that?

03:15Yeah, he is.

03:16Actually, for the top four teams to make that decision.

03:18From fifth and below, I actually think it's a no-brainer.

03:23Lock-up, big lock-up for Nico Hülkenberg,

03:25but he has just gone quickest, having stuck on the soft tyres,

03:28as has his team-mate.

03:29A real heavy hitter on a soft tyre here,

03:31so slightly surprised, I'm honest,

03:33to say Piastri going this early in the session,

03:35but clearly they want to get some sort of a reference for the car

03:39at this, even at these temperatures,

03:41and he's on and off at the final corner,

03:43so they're going to have, well, nearly a full lap of information to look at.

03:48The Alpine chassis, he believes, is working really, really well.

03:51He was very quick at sector one.

03:54You know, they were the fifth fastest car,

03:56just behind the top four teams in the first sector,

03:59which is all fast-flowing corners, fast-medium-speed corners.

04:02Here we go, this is a replay of Yuki.

04:08So, into the final corner, this is where we saw him live,

04:11didn't we, going a bit wide just to that final apex,

04:13so that time will be disallowed if he did that in qualifying.

04:17This was Oscar Piastri, who had gone fastest of anybody

04:20in the first two sectors,

04:21and then just ran wide in that final part of the corner.

04:26It's the tricky bit, isn't it,

04:27because you have to set up 14 and 15, really, coming out of 13.

04:32Do you know? Is it, is it, you know, you're shaking your head at me.

04:36I thought that was a really important part of this track.

04:38Am I completely wrong?

04:39You don't need to set it up out of 13, necessarily,

04:42because you've got a long stray, but you need to...

04:45But if you get 13 wrong, you can make up for it.

04:49All right, let's look at this first and come back.

04:51Well, here's Alex Albon.

04:54Okay, straight out.

04:56Oh, sorry.

04:58It's C2 medium, not used at any stage in 2023 or 2024 in the race

05:03by any of the point scorers.

05:04But the tyres are different this year, aren't they?

05:07They are.

05:10They've moved a step.

05:11Yeah, and that suggests that it is going to come in.

05:13Oh, Luke Browning trying to get out of the way of Alex Albon.

05:17Alex Albon not realising that his teammate for this session

05:21was trying to get out of the way.

05:23That could have been massive.

05:24Wow, that was close.

05:27Yeah, opening up the wheel.

05:28This is where we saw his teammate running wide

05:29at the final corner.

05:30No issues for Lando on his soft tyre run,

05:33and he goes to the top of the time.

05:35Yeah, a bit of communication issue there on the Williams pit wall,

05:39and very, very lucky that the two cars didn't collide.

05:43There was a big lock-up in the pit lane coming back in.

05:49Yeah, he's testing the pit entry, you know,

05:51and that's something he's got to...

05:53It is actually quite tricky

05:54because you come out of that last corner, 14, 15,

05:56and you do accelerate a reasonable amount

05:58before you have to jump on the brakes.

06:00Oh, do you really?

06:01Alex, we need to go in up here.

06:02I know we'll turn a half up.

06:03Oh, come on.

06:04We'll get it later.

06:05It's fine.

06:06Yeah, but when I don't know what the brakes are doing,

06:08every lad, it's nice to do something.

06:12I get the frustration.

06:14Okay, so Alex out of the mediums, as we said,

06:16what I wanted to ask you,

06:17we can see what they're doing here.

06:18You've got the flow vis on the front.

06:19They will then get the car back in,

06:21and they will look at how that's dispersed over the car.

06:23They'll work out the error.

06:24They'll look at what's performing.

06:27Yeah, they're looking at airflow.

06:28They're looking, you know,

06:29and they'll send images back, crucially,

06:31to the aero department, back at Grove in the UK.

06:34They'll be studying these images,

06:36trying to look at the way the air flows

06:38across the, not just the wing,

06:40but everything behind it,

06:42the suspension, the floor, the sidebar, the tyre,

06:45where, you know,

06:46where the air keeps going beyond the rest of the car,

06:50because the front wing is so important

06:51for the rest of the car.

06:53as we see Frederick Bestie pull in to the box.

06:58Fred, it was an excellent job.

07:01Thank you, Toto.

07:03Thank you for the opportunity once again.

07:08And gets to pull away in a Formula One car.

07:10Be in the fight for the World Championship.

07:13And he hasn't signed it to be there either,

07:16but as we said, Lando Norris,

07:17fastest in the McLaren today,

07:20with a 1.33.2,

07:22just ahead of Pierre Gasly in the Alpine.

07:25And then comes Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari,

07:295.596 behind him.

07:32Then Alex Albon in the Williams,

07:33Esteban Ocon in Haas, P5,

07:35Nico Hülkenberg in the Sauber, P6,

07:37Jack Doohan in the other Alpine in P7,

07:40Liam Lawson, quickest of the racing bulls in P8,

07:43Yuki Tsunoda in the Red Bull,

07:45P9,

07:46and Oscar Piastri in the other McLaren.

07:4810th quickest ahead of Gabrielle Portoleta,

07:50Isaac Hadjar.

07:51And then come the rookies,

07:52Luke Browning,

07:53the quickest of those in the Williams.

07:55Then Dino Boganovich in the Ferrari,

07:57Lance Stroll in the Aston Martin in P15.

08:00Another of the rookies,

08:00Felipe Drogovic, P16,

08:02Fio Hirakawa in the Haas.

08:04He was in the Alpine in Suzuka.

08:05He's in the Haas this weekend.

08:07Frederick Bestie in the Mercedes in P18,

08:09ahead of Ayumu Uasa.

08:10And Kimi Antonelli who had issues

08:12which they will be fixing through the lunch break.

08:14And I'm sure he will be back out on track in FPT.
