00:00Baker Hulkenberg meanwhile have a look at his progress if you look at the engine
00:05cover behind them and that is a big old slide under traction it's not really an
00:11aero issue that's a mechanical issue there into the veil chicane we go and
00:17on power as soon as he can and there's a little snap isn't there as he gets his
00:20foot down a 126.3 he's put seven tenths between himself and the former Williams
00:25driver Franco Collapin Red Bull complaining that he would have to get out
00:29the throttle line comes up quickly we've got a 26 flat kind of okay four tenths
00:34between himself and Alex Albon Kimi Antonelli just about half a second behind
00:39with Alex Albon still in second fastest and we're on board now with Lando Norris
00:45who goes second fastest his teammate Lewis Hamilton didn't get a chance to get his
00:49final run fully completed there was a red flag and Leclerc only third fastest which
00:55is somewhat of a surprise because Ferrari according to Zach Brown are very much on
01:00it and a big threat to McLaren this weekend as Piastri goes quicker than Max Verstappen by
01:05four one hundredths of a second and Lewis Hamilton next across the line goes fourth
01:09fastest it's not quite as tight currently as it was in practice but just stay calm
01:15just tell me what you're thinking so we will box box end of this lap and we'll go for two
01:21two laps of fuel on which set of tires this set of tires I think it's good we're going softer and
01:28softer on the compact oh that's going around he needed more grip Franco Collapinto and he's into the
01:34barriers as well and under pressure for his Alpine survival he has kicked up a storm of dust
01:41the red flag and I would well if he can keep the car going which he seems to have done and get out of
01:47that gravel race control will be all right gets a massive round of applause but how much damage you
01:53can see a lot of vibration there on the rear wing and he's got to do a whole lap here to get back to
01:58the pits car's damage you're obliged to pull over what you don't want to do is go anywhere near the
02:04racing line down in turn one fairly and professionally but he's already having a moment
02:09coming out of stone and see what happens here he's doing a lot of steering wheel movement and he hits
02:16the throttle on the paint and did he yeah he did hit actually hit the wall but albeit quite gently did
02:25well to get it out of there but the etiquette if you can use a word like that in formula one
02:31is you must go and hit the brakes off the racing line yeah get the gravel out of the car do not
02:37drive on the racing line oh there's the reaction from the crowd last time we commentated on a car
02:44doing that Brad Pitt was driving one of them I don't think that's a spoiler it's in the trailer
02:50yes we've got a red flag he's pulled over at pit exit he's pulled over at pit exit so I think
02:58actually the the whole thing vibrating was probably the almost certainly the flat spot on the we can
03:02see the one on the front tire um and the rears are not going to be a whole lot better but you just
03:07cannot look how much how it's hoovering up the gravel look into the side pods you cannot have that
03:13car dropping gravel through beckett's or stowe you know a cop's corner turning in a 180 190
03:19and somebody's left gravel all over the track so what it's meant is it's taken about another minute
03:25before we've got the uh red flag so alex albon goes third fastest nico holkenberg gets himself out of the
03:32uh danger places for a moment but only just 14 for him gabriel bortoletto goes 11th fastest well that
03:3910 place grid penalty is so costly for an ollie bearman's snow to go sixth fastest an ollie bearman
03:45that has been bang in form at times this weekend he goes third fastest overall ferrari's so low at the
03:51back what else is coming can i go again or not negative hamilton pits there's still there's still time
03:59why would i oh no fuel well this this might be a big mistake by ferrari hamilton pits and behind him
04:09others will be going again we'll see how it all pans out can charles de claire improve from 13th he does
04:16he goes eight fast as george russell moves up a 10th and takes the checker flag uh gasly collar pinto
04:22they're down at the bottom science goes eighth fastest pushes hamilton to 14th but crucially for
04:29him bortoletto stroll hulkenberg collar pinto all in the pits or out only gasly can finish off his lap
04:36here and try and improve he does he goes 15th fastest he gets out of the bottom five pushes
04:41lawson down into a week after his career best finish in austria max verstappen as ever ringing the neck of
04:48that red bull and the only one getting really close to him is oscar piastri and as i say that
04:53carlos saints through the first sector verstappen with a 125 3 improves by half a second from his best
04:59time in q1 the two ferraris three four tenths behind in the first part of the lap
05:03there's always issues upshift downshift gear issues uh with max verstappen in that red bull verstappen
05:14is under pressure from piastri here who's gone quicker in the middle section here comes oscar
05:19piastri and look at that sets exactly the same time as max verstappen but goes behind him because
05:25he did it second wow 125 316 for them both as alonso once again third fastest that's way too slow i'm
05:34having to back up i can see that uh george russell um who was he behind i wonder on the out lap i think
05:41that might have been kimmy antonelli uh that he was talking about is for 25 6 is the cutoff time
05:48anyone from george russell upwards should be safe but let's see as charles claire goes quickest with
05:53the 125 1 and lewis hamilton crosses the line to replace him right at the top ferrari one and two
06:00and that has gone down very well indeed through the final uh three corners the veil chicane
06:06an outer club can he put his mercedes into the top 10 yes he can that's yuki sunoda out he was
06:12already out because pierre gasly had gone p10 carlos science pits he's out of qualifying too
06:17with his teammate alex albon uh doing uh is also out for williams and that came to a bit of a damn
06:24squib in the end as one by one they tried to get into the top 10 and in the case of science sunoda
06:30had your album a knock-on sadly failed to do so
06:33totally different car my badge goes well we made it difficult for ourselves
06:43sounds like he's asked for a setup change that went the wrong way
06:47to try and beat over the curb goes verstappen and across the line it's a 125 2 only improves
06:54by half a tenth from his best time in q2 and piastri is a tenth up as antonelli goes third fastest
07:01behind the has of ollie bearman now to the line we go with oscar piastri and he's on provisional
07:08pole ahead of max verstappen and the first driver this weekend into the one minute 24s lando norris
07:15will be next to cross the line it's a mclaren on provisional pole it's a mclaren provisional front
07:20row as norris slots in behind his team mercedes need to start delivering up their potential and
07:27now is the time to do it difficult car for max verstappen russell onto the second row replaced
07:34on that second row by charles leclerc around the final corner here comes hamilton he's on the front
07:40row with oscar piastri as lando norris then tries to put his mclaren on provisional pole misses out
07:47it's front row for lando norris but for the time being oscar piastri still on provisional
07:53and has lost time coming out of the final corner so he remains there but he hasn't improved his time
07:5911 front rows for lewis hamilton here at tilberston before seven poles and it's only the second row for
08:06this year he did lose time through the veil chicane yeah a little bit scruffy for lewis unusual for him
08:11pushing really hard but this then is now about pole position it's mclaren on the front row locking it
08:18out unless this man can deny them and he's taken pole here at silverston for a third time max verstappen
08:26chose the last possible moment to go out and set his final lap and he delivered at the last possible
08:34moment a pole position lap they celebrate gp looks impassive christian horder smiles and max verstappen
08:41is on pole uh you went most rated max that's pole position great job
