00:00down into turn 10 you break you trail brake a long way deep into that corner you're on the
00:04brake just guarding it as you turn into the corner that's what i mean by trail braking
00:08you do a similar thing into turn 12 as well such a long corner is turn 12 and then you've got these
00:15fast two corners coming up dismissing the chicane that used to be there on the right hand side
00:21nice high speed core you really feel the g-force going through your whole body you've got the
00:26electronic brakes as well harvesting the energy when you put your foot on the left on the left
00:30brake so it's integrated into the steering wheel and it's you can control it digitally as we see
00:36Ocon come up to the line to do the fastest time of what it's worth so far in the one minute 15s
00:42round the final corner for Carlos Sainz and over the line with the DRS are about four tenths up on
00:49Lando Norris who did his lap on the media car yesterday i was watching Carlos Sainz's throttle
00:54trace property through that final corner you could just see it on the graphics on the halo
00:58and barely a lift through that final corner so i should imagine later on in qualifying if we do
01:03see those graphics watch out before you get to turn 12 a long corner it feels like you're in there
01:07forever even at these speeds in formula one and then you can be full throttle through 13 penultimate
01:13corner then into the final corner i wish i could see the graphic on the halo on his car
01:18as he crosses the line to only go p3 somebody's surprised by that you never know it could be but
01:23here's hamilton on the medium as well so as a as a complete reference back to back between the two
01:29cars what can hamilton do goes faster than piastri now i'm really surprised and smacks with staff
01:36maybe they put a bit more ballast frontwards on his red ball which is why he's struggling with with
01:43rear grip because the balance is just a bit out of kilter on that one just a surmise on that here we go
01:49across all around that final corner like you said crofty on an absolute flyer 13 4 on the board for
01:55him and almost five tenths quicker than lando norris but again he's on those soft tires so yeah the
02:01mercedes seems to be competitive it's there or thereabouts isn't it we saw that yesterday
02:05there's uh i have something hard on my left leg of my seat so i'm gonna just check that uh that'd be
02:12good copy that's an odd one for oscar piastri because it's the same pushing against something or
02:19someone left something on the seat the timing charts that the timing screen say it's a bit slower
02:24so have they to stop it sliding around have they put a bit more wing on and therefore it's a bit
02:31draggier down the straights well also don't forget that he's he's on older tires here so he had already
02:37done a lap and that he's sitting p3 at the moment so you start losing a lot of the edge of the tire
02:43especially when it's as hot as this something i never thought i'd see not on television but
02:47um just goes way too wide there but it's a super little interview and kimmy in a very chatty mood
02:55that that just got worse didn't it for liam lawson went wide at turn 10 and then slid
03:02and dipped a couple of tires into the gravel at the top of the hill and i'm not surprised he's coming
03:08in but uh we might actually yeah so this is turned a little bit wide yeah and actually you're off the
03:13track all four wheels over the white line so that lap if it was qualifying that would
03:17get deleted so then he gets to turn 12 probably still some rubbish on his tires from turn 10
03:22and that's all it took to uh to send the rear out and when it happens so late in the corner like that
03:29it's it's awful because you've already committed to going full throttle any other issue in the car
03:33so just trying to double check it's exactly as you want it can drift in pit stops it can sometimes
03:38get a nudge on the car but less likely it's probably more that the setup's gone out not as they
03:43expect it to thanks ever so much bernie ollie bearman just going a tad wide liam lawson territory
03:49there interesting when you do kick up the gravel now through through either turn 10 12 where they're
03:56the only two corners where you can really make mistakes and speaking of that so i've just been
03:59looking for a flag because you need to see a flag occasionally we've got a great view from the top
04:04of the grandstand in our commentary box and i can see a flag out and guess where the wind's blowing
04:09at the moment when it comes to turn 10 towards turn 10 it is a tailwind turn 10 ladies and gentlemen
04:14there you go it's actually quite normal for this track yeah the wind usually picks up as well in the
04:20afternoons it's it's it's not a day that we normally come racing which i'm sure lewis hamilton's been
04:26quite pleased about in the past because it's also his dad's birthday today so rather than spending the day
04:30with his dad going fishing or whatever they do he's got to come here and work instead and there's
04:34max verstappen with a 1.133 to go a couple of hundreds ahead of george russell you mean for
04:40their second run for their second runs lando norris is out there at the moment but you know
04:44piastri hamilton leclerc russell all in the garage currently and he has gone way too wide
04:51has lando norris yeah no harm done he no that's the little chicane there that's uh the bikes use
05:00that i think do they here we go then riding on board what happens oh it sounds like you know what
05:06the car hit the ground quite a lot there's a lot of touching there wasn't there a bit i think they
05:10were new tires mate well and that was because he ran mediums before those so wow that's uh
05:17well the first sector something had already gone wrong for him so he wasn't even a personal best
05:22there where the driver's doing a lot of work and feeling the balance so lando in turn nine we think
05:27it wasn't touching but we saw porting so if we want to fix that we'd have to box now to lift at the
05:33rear and they came in for a slight adjustment and that's why you end up when it really matters
05:40with moments like this in turn 12 the rear lets go first of all the wind direction not helping
05:45and you just think i'm going to keep my foot in there anyway and that's when you run into the
05:51gravel but it was all going wrong even before he turned into turn 12 yeah just as he started to
05:56the rear wasn't there for him gravel waiting to uh to catch you two cents off your best time you've
06:04probably picked up two tenths worth of performance and setup yes at least four times i'd say on a day
06:10like today and and a mistake thrown in for good measure as well through turn 12 so let's say
06:14it's comfortably you'd go five tenths quicker if you if that lap was clean and you throw another
06:19set of new tires at it now it's just not working probably i don't know what's wrong with the
06:23gas shift they're still taking it up your shift's not working i've got no education so what gear is
06:31lewis hamilton stuck in wow it's odd that you it's odd that you can't downshift but that's a it's a
06:38worrying time ahead of qualifying for ferrari as for mclaren they picked up where they left off
06:43yesterday and it's oscar piastri a half a second ahead of his teammate lando norris now part of
06:48that can be explained by the fact that lando went off touch of porpoising at turn nine on his first
06:54flying lap so he came in little adjustment went back out again tires had dropped off a bit by the time
07:00he went out again so that half a second could be reduced uh if norris had got a full lap together
07:06either way they're a big way clear of charlotte claire seven tenths off for ferrari then george
07:11russell fourth and max was stafford and isaac had just second off the pace in fifth and six
07:15outside of the top 10 impressive from gabriel bortoletto decent time from him and ahead of
07:21his teammate nika hulkenberg he's out qualified him three times out of eight so far this season
07:25williams struggles continue alex albon's got an issue that needs fixing lewis hamilton's got a
07:30gearbox that needs check
