00:00Albon through the final two corners. Has he got enough to move himself out of that bottom five?
00:06He hasn't. Yuki Tsunoda next to go faster. Eighth fastest for Yuki Tsunoda in the Alfa Tauri.
00:13His teammate Pierre Gasly is next across the line. Only 11th fastest for Gasly.
00:18Vettel Lap from Tsunoda. What about Sebastian Vettel? He's in the bottom five at the moment
00:22and he's going to be the next driver to cross the line as underneath the bridge he goes now.
00:26Yeah, Vettel and Ricciardo down there in the drop zone as we got yellow flags.
00:32Yeah, and in sectors two and three that could be bad news for those on a flying lap currently.
00:37Sebastian Vettel goes 11th fastest, gets himself out of that bottom five.
00:41Ricciardo is out of qualifying. Only 16th fastest for Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon has crossed the line too
00:49and he too is out of qualifying. A surprise there for Esteban Ocon in the Alpine.
00:55So you can still see a little bit of spray there. Kevin Magnussen 7th fastest. Mick Schumacher 17th fastest.
01:01Now in his F2 Championship winning year qualifying wasn't his strongest point for Mick Schumacher.
01:06Never got in the front row in that particular year. His racing very much took care of business
01:11but he would dearly love to be out of the bottom five here I'm sure. And can he do it?
01:16This is the big conundrum as we reach the end of the first part of qualifying. Mick Schumacher
01:22rides the bumps a little bit. Magnussen crosses the line. Schumacher makes it out of qualifying
01:27and he relegates Valtteri Bottas into the bottom five. Round of applause down in the Haas garage.
01:35Bottas and Ricciardo Ocon and Albon and Latifi. The five that we've lost.
01:40Verstappen from Hamilton by a tenth at the top of the timings.
01:45As we see round the final corner Yuki Tsunoda go sixth fastest on the intermediate tyres.
01:50He needed to go quicker and boy Ted Kravitz did he do so.
01:53Yeah he did. Vettel was very close but he did make it for one last go as you're right.
01:56Come on Sebastian. You love this track. You've won so many times here.
01:59This is the last time you're going to qualify around Singapore.
02:02Let's see if he's got something magical in the bag on those slick tyres.
02:05Fernando Alonso tenth fastest has just gone quickest overall through the middle sector.
02:10Mick Schumacher picking up pace. It's personal best all the way for him on this particular lap.
02:15Can he get his car into the top ten? No he can't. Only 13th fastest for Mick Schumacher.
02:20What about then Pierre Gasly? As I say five years to the day that he made his debut
02:25for the team he still races for and he goes sixth fastest just ahead of his teammate
02:29Yuki Tsunoda. Fine lap from Pierre Gasly. Fernando Alonso goes fifth fastest.
02:34Saves his best until the last lap as well and it's going to be Lance Stroll
02:37who's next to cross the line. We're on board in the Aston Martin now.
02:41Can Stroll get this car into the top ten? His teammate hasn't managed it.
02:46Lance Stroll crosses the line and it's 12th fastest. The soft tyre gamble didn't work.
02:52Russell is out. And you're right. By six one thousandths of a second.
02:56We're out. We're out. We're out.
03:00It's too early for the race.
03:02The man with the most poles jointly with Lewis Hamilton.
03:07Won't be going for pole tonight. Hamilton will.
03:09And he was right up there in Q2 with Leclerc and Verstappen.
03:14Tsunoda by the way was only two tenths slower than Verstappen through the middle part of the lap.
03:19We'll see Verstappen to cross the line. First of the runners to cross the line in this final part of qualifying.
03:25It's a 1.56.9. Well, he did a 1.52.7 as his best time in Q2.
03:31So maybe it might not be too ready for slick tyres yet.
03:35Yuki Tsunoda goes faster with a 1.55.1 on the intermediate tyres.
03:42Tsunoda, Verstappen, Norris, Alonso Sainz and Perez. That's the top six.
03:46Charles Leclerc will be next to cross the line. Lewis Hamilton's finding plenty of pace.
03:50Charles Leclerc goes second fastest overall.
03:52Still Yuki Tsunoda at the top until Lewis Hamilton says,
03:56I quite fancy provisional pole myself and a 1.53.0.
04:01And he suddenly puts a couple of seconds between himself and Yuki Tsunoda.
04:06And Sergio Perez crosses the line. Third fastest for Sergio Perez.
04:11He's never qualified that high here before.
04:13Fernando Alonso has previous pole setter and goes right to the top of the pile.
04:17So can Hamilton snatch back provisional pole once again?
04:20We'll see in a moment with Charles Leclerc next to cross the line.
04:23Now he's on provisional pole. Hamilton to cross the line and provisional pole is his once more.
04:28Fernando Alonso goes back onto provisional pole.
04:33First man into the 1.50s here this evening.
04:36Charles Leclerc will try and beat that. Doesn't just beat it, smashes it out of the park.
04:401.49.4 for Charles Leclerc. Is that a ninth pole position for him in 2022?
04:47Verstappen.
04:49He's backed off.
04:50Has he backed off?
04:51He's backed off, hasn't he?
04:52He has aborted.
04:53He's got time to get over the line.
04:54Verstappen going for one more flying lap.
04:57Carlos Sainz, this will be his final flying lap of qualifying and goes on to the front row for Ferrari.
05:03It's Ferrari one and two now. Red Bull have got it all to do to try and claw back some good advantage here.
05:09And where can Hamilton and Mercedes and Alpine and Alonso put themselves as now Perez goes on to the front row
05:15for the first time in his career here in Singapore.
05:17It's changing by the minute.
05:18And did Alonso just tap the wall coming out there at turn 19?
05:23Looked to me like he rather did.
05:25Lando Norris goes fourth fastest.
05:27Hamilton has gone quickest through the middle sector.
05:30Fernando Alonso next to cross the line, second row for him.
05:33Four previous pole positions here in Singapore for Lewis Hamilton.
05:37He's not been on pole in 2022 and he's not going to be on pole tonight.
05:42It is the first top three start currently for Lewis Hamilton,
05:45but he's missed out on pole by five one hundredths of a second.
05:49And this is where he's just looked a little bit trepidation throughout this run.
05:55Clips the kerb, gets out of shape before he hits turn 19.
05:59Almost hits the wall coming out of turn 19.
06:02Might be losing him a bit of time.
06:03Tsunoda goes ahead of Gasly.
06:06Max Verstappen been on the front row here before.
06:08He's not going to be on the front row tonight.
06:10He aborts the lap and it gives Charles Leclerc a pole position.
06:15And Verstappen, on the weekend where he could seal the championship,
06:19will be starting from eighth.
06:20Box, Max. Box, box, box, box, box, box.
06:23Why? What the? Why?
06:25He's got to have enough fuel for scrutineering.
06:27So he was on a pole position lap. He had to have abandoned it.
06:31He was on another lap that was very near to pole position.
06:34Told to pit he needs a fuel sample at the end of qualifying.
06:39Otherwise, he'll be thrown out and start at the back.
06:41That's an interesting grid, isn't it?
06:43We've got three different teams in the top three.
06:46And Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso just waiting in fourth and in fifth.
