00:00...back with barriers, dusted himself off, walked back to the pits, shrugged a bit and said, I'm sorry.

00:09This is the lap Alan Prost has got to do it in, I suppose, because he has four minutes to go.

00:16So that is, let's say, two laps of this Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

00:21Ooh, Prost sliding very wide there.

00:23Well, Prost is now going to go out and do something which she has yet to achieve,

00:28and that's, I was going to say beat Damon Hill, but beat Damon Hill's time this afternoon.

00:35And he's just over a tenth of a second slower on the very quick part of the circuit.

00:40Now here, this is the technical part of the circuit, and this is where I would expect to see Prost claw back that tenth of a second

00:48and maybe edge slightly ahead.

00:52Michael Schumacher improving yet again, one minute, 50.613, some two tenths quicker than he was.

00:57Formally, but this is where the skill and the intelligence of Alan Prost in his race car really is going to tell.

01:06We can't see it, but Damon Hill is out on the circuit as well, somewhere.

01:14And Prost on his way to the second intermediate point.

01:19Damon, 1.19803, Prost, 0.1 of a second slower.

01:25So the gap has stayed exactly the same.

01:27Well, in that case, I have to believe that we're going to see Damon Hill retain that provisional pole.

01:33We're only moments away from the end of this session.

01:37But Damon was pretty good on the entry into the bus stop.

01:39He was good on the exit.

01:41You can see Prost trying very hard indeed.

01:43You don't normally see his car weave under braking as much as that.

01:47He normally is fairly early on the brakes.

01:4948.794, there's the difference.

01:54You can barely visually see it.

01:56And on the stop.
