00:00...somewhat short in session and convincing, convincingly quicker than Damon Hill in second place by the tune of 2.3 seconds.
00:10Agurizuki, the man who made his debut during the Japanese Grand Prix 1988 and his best finish was during the Japanese Grand Prix of 1990 when he finished in third position.
00:24Well, this is the section of circuit where we had all the drama this morning and really watching it on the monitor on TV at home cannot explain or give you the impression of what it is like to charge into Eau Rouge in qualifying conditions.
00:41Most of the front running cars are just about flat out through that section of circuit, 180 miles an hour entering it.
00:48You lose about 8, 10, 12 miles an hour as you climb uphill and exit, but it is without doubt one of the most daunting, but at the same time satisfying corners of any Grand Prix circuit anywhere in the world.
01:04Agurizuki on his way to the first split time on this Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
01:11And the footwork team who's done really well in the last couple of races, Suzuki qualifying well up, Derek Warwick qualifying in ninth position in Hungary, finishing fourth, but Suzuki in the top ten for the last three Grand Prixs.
01:30And really, footwork have now come to terms with the McLaren active suspension system.
01:37And we mentioned in Hungary and we said again here that we think that the footwork car probably has got more overall downforce than its McLaren relation.
01:48But the difference in speed probably comes partly through Senna and also we think that the Ford HB engine and McLaren are using the H series here this weekend to date has probably got a bit more power.
02:01Certainly, it's a lot lighter and much easier installed.
02:0353.882 and that's some two tenths of a second.
