00:00Lando Norris has set two personal bests through the first and middle sector of this lap.

00:06And there is a bollard knocked by Lando Norris as he goes fourth fastest.

00:12So was it the Haas that hit it? Yes, it was.

00:15Of Mick Schumacher.

00:17Lando Norris running straight over it.

00:20And it could have been quite easily flicked up.

00:23Nicholas Latifi, a driver at risk at the moment

00:26because Latifi only 15th fastest at the end of his final flying lap.

00:31Stroll in his 100th Grand Prix this weekend,

00:34crosses the line, goes 13th and puts Latifi into the bottom five.

00:38Is there anyone behind Sebastian Vettel that might cause a bit of danger?

00:42Ocon goes ninth ahead of Daniel Ricciardo.

00:45Well, George Russell is out on the track as Alonso goes 11th fastest.

00:50George Russell has got potential and pace

00:53as Carlos Sainz goes eighth fastest and he's safely through

00:57as Charles Leclerc goes sixth fastest.

01:00So Ocon and Vettel, we saw them having a bit of a moment at the final corner.

01:05Are they both going to go through?

01:07It looks like it as it stands at the moment.

01:09George Russell outqualified by Nicholas Latifi.

01:13Yeah, we're in tyres but nowhere, absolutely nowhere.

01:16So guys, we didn't need to risk it.

01:18Slánz Stroll will be the next driver to cross the line,

01:23making his 100th race start this weekend.

01:26Would love to do it inside the top ten.

01:28He's not going to get that chance.

01:29Misses out by three-tenths of a second.

01:32Pierre Gasly would like to be in the top six.

01:34He's not.

01:35He's only 12th at the moment as Perez goes fastest

01:38on the soft compound tyre.

01:40So Perez will definitely be starting this race

01:42on the soft tyres.

01:43Verstappen's done a 17-0 for the first sector.

01:47That's on pace for a flying lap

01:49as we now ride on board with Esteban Ocon

01:51round that turn 14

01:53where Sebastian Vettel scuffed the advertising hoardings

01:56a little while ago.

01:58Ocon now to the final corner.

02:00Norris has gone fastest, his fastest,

02:02to the middle sector.

02:03Ocon eighth fastest.

02:05Norris at risk with his teammate Daniel Ricciardo

02:07also putting in a personal best in the middle sector.

02:10Norris goes quickest, quicker I should say.

02:12Seventh fastest for him.

02:14Max Verstappen will start the race

02:16on the soft compound tyre

02:18because he has gone quicker

02:19and he's gone quickest of all.

02:21Cheers from the crowd.

02:22Red Bull have played their strategy hand here.

02:26Mercedes will be starting this race on the medium.

02:28Red Bull hoping for more speed off the line

02:30on the softs.

02:31Ricciardo makes it into Q3

02:33but only just.

02:35But in this championship battle, Martin Brundle,

02:37Red Bull have gone for speed and grip off the line.

02:40It's Carnage again.

02:44Yeah.

02:45And this Martin Brundle was the kerfuffle of all kerfuffles

02:48and a gentleman's agreement that no one could agree on.

02:51Well, they're all trying to get on with it

02:52but it'd be so easy to chip over another driver there.

02:55Fernando Alonso feeling that the McLaren held him up.

02:58So, Sebastian Vettel misses out.

03:00Giovinazzi misses out.

03:02Lance Stroll misses out on Q3.

03:04Pierre Gasly fails to reach Q3

03:06for only the fourth time in the last 25 Grand Prix

03:09and Fernando Alonso misses Q3

03:12by just 12 one-thousandths of a second.

03:1617-0 for Perez.

03:18He's a couple of tenths down as we watch Hamilton.

03:20He pulled out of the way.

03:21Perez pulled out of the way there.

03:23Did slipstream Verstappen down the straight towards turn nine.

03:27So, Verstappen with a 35-6 in the middle sector.

03:30They've been losing time to Mercedes in the middle sector.

03:33Maybe that's where they needed it the most then.

03:35Verstappen with three more corners to go

03:37as we look now at this two right-handers to finish the lap.

03:42He's two tenths up on Hamilton through the middle sector.

03:45Verstappen crosses the line.

03:46122-1.

03:48Is that good enough to take provisional pole?

03:51We'll find out shortly.

03:52Yeah, he aced the last corner, did Max Verstappen.

03:55So, it's all on Lewis Hamilton now through the final sector.

04:00Verstappen's been always saving a little bit of tyre as well

04:03for this final few corners.

04:05Let's see what Lewis Hamilton's got in reply.

04:07Tsunoda ahead of Norris.

04:09Here comes Hamilton.

04:10Crosses the line only second fastest.

04:13It's front row and half a second between Verstappen and Hamilton.

04:17The team game at Red Bull has worked on the first flying laps.

04:22We're in to the final shootout for pole position here.

04:25Tremendous exit from the first corner for Lewis.

04:28But he's still 49,000th of a second down.

04:32Apex hit this time.

04:33Remember, he locked up in there before.

04:36Down the first of the long straights then

04:38to the very tight and technical turn.

04:41Six and seven.

04:43Car sparking away as the aerodynamics force the chassis to the ground.

04:48And let's see if he can pick up the throttle nicely through the exit

04:51without any complaint from the rear tyres.

04:54A little bit of movement there.

04:55You never want any sideways movement.

04:57That means you're not going forwards when you're going sideways.

05:00He's out on his own.

05:01No slipstream for Lewis.

05:02And he can pour the car into turn nine.

05:06It's a green middle sector for him.

05:08Has he kept some tyres for the end of the lap?

05:11If he has, he needs to absolutely ace this final sector

05:14because he's lacking by about a tenth of a second

05:17any time to beat Max Verstappen,

05:20who's out on track and you can see him there.

05:22Green sector's been displayed by all the drivers.

05:24The track is ramping up.

05:26It's getting quicker.

05:27But is it getting quick enough for Lewis Hamilton?

05:29Five-time pole sitter here at Yas Marina.

05:32Crosses the line.

05:33He's not on pole in 2021.

05:36You can hear the roars of the crowd.

05:38Hamilton on the front row at best.

05:40Max Verstappen is going quicker through the middle sector

05:44as Sonoda gets a time on the board

05:45that's good enough for sixth fastest

05:47after getting his initial lap time deleted.

05:50Last time he came here to Yas Marina,

05:52Max Verstappen, what on pole, went on to win the race.

05:55Can Perez get his Red Bull ahead of Hamilton?

05:59Make it an all Red Bull front row.

06:01They're absolutely equal in the first two seconds.

06:03Norris goes third for now.

06:05Perez hasn't been on the front row since Imola.

06:07It's fourth fastest only for Perez.

06:09Second row for him.

06:11Max Verstappen crosses the line.

06:13Didn't need to go faster.

06:15Actually got it all done on the first flying lap.

06:17He's on pole.

06:22Oh, yes!

06:25Didn't expect that one, but amazing job, guys.

06:28Well done, mate.
