00:01Confirmation that's Verstappen's qualifying session over. Because he's got an injured penalty, he is at the back.
00:07Oh, as Giovinazzi spins and very nearly gets collected by Charles Leclerc.
00:13Coming out of turn 16, there goes Giovinazzi spinning around.
00:18And you can just see how close that was, but Leclerc are not all the right bits of the track
00:21compared to Giovinazzi.
00:24It's another Q1 knockout for Kimi Räikkönen, only 16th fastest.
00:29Now Mick Schumacher across the line stays down in 17th.
00:33So Paul qualifying for him as Alonso goes 7th fastest and just ahead of Carlos Sainz.
00:37And Hamilton, as expected, with those first purple sectors, first and second sectors, goes quickest overall.
00:43Yuki Tsunoda next across the line. He's still at risk. He's only 15th.
00:47Can Nikita Mazepin get his hat out of the bottom five? The answer is no.
00:51He's 19th and slowest because Verstappen didn't set a time.
00:54And that should be that. We have lost Kimi. We have lost Mick.
00:59We've lost Antonio, Nikita and Max, who was expected to be out in that bottom five
01:04because he didn't set a time and didn't need to.
01:08That is Charles Leclerc who, like Max Verstappen, walking away from this qualifying session.
01:13We won't see him setting a time.
01:16What's going to happen here?
01:18Yeah, the f***ing Williams, is he killing me?
01:20I know, it's a joke.
01:21Yeah.
01:22What the hell is he doing?
01:26Fernando Alonso goes third fastest and George Russell now has got two more corners to try and ace
01:32to get that Williams up a couple of places and into Q3 once again.
01:37Out of the final corner comes George Russell and he does make it into the top ten.
01:41Pushes Sebastian Vettel out of it and gets another big round of applause from his mates down at Williams.
01:46Yuki Tsunoda will be next to cross the line.
01:49Can he put himself and his AlphaTauri into Q3 for the first time here in Formula One?
01:54No, he stays exactly where he is.
01:56And Pierre Gasly, who's made a habit of Q3 so far this season, is going to be with him.
02:01K11, we're out.
02:04No way!
02:06Five hundredths.
02:08Oh f***ing way!
02:10Oh!
02:13Disappointing session that for the two AlphaTauris.
02:16And Carlos Sainz makes it through by five one hundredths of a second.
02:26One forty four seven for Valtteri Bottas but we could be very much in that crossover zone now
02:31as Lewis Hamilton goes seven tenths faster than his teammate.
02:35He's found a lot more grip out there.
02:37Everyone is on the intermediate tyres as it stands.
02:41And Lance Stroll has just put in the best first sector time
02:44but has lost about six tenths of a second to Hamilton through the middle sector.
02:49Perez crosses the line. Fifth fastest.
02:51Stroll third fastest behind Bottas.
02:54On days like this, never discount Lance Stroll from a very good qualifying.
02:59He seems to like it in the wet and got his first Polar course in very similar conditions in Turkey
03:04in last time out when we went to Istanbul Park.
03:08I think Lando Norris would be a good bet as well if he could get on a set of slicks.
03:12You know, he works the tyres.
03:13And he was the first one to try and spare, remember.
03:15And he gets himself up to P2, so why not?
03:18Soft tyres for George Russell.
03:20Get through here, keep the temperature in them.
03:22And that's the thing is just don't let the temperature come out the surface.
03:28Right, here we go, George Russell.
03:30Time-lap on the slick tyres.
03:32First driver to go for a time-lap as Lewis Hamilton comes into the pits and hits the wall.
03:38Now it's only 60 kilometres an hour, but it's such a tight pit lane entrance.
03:43And Lewis Hamilton, even before they put the slick tyres on, has bashed the wall.
03:47Just hit the wall, man. Hit the wall.
03:51Drama for Lewis Hamilton for the second year running and qualifying here in Russia.
03:57Carlos Sainz, never been on pole before in his Formula One career, is absolutely flying out there.
04:03Sainz goes onto pole position with a 1.42.5 Ferrari on pole here in Sochi.
04:10But who's got pace behind him?
04:12Lando Norris has got a middle sector to be proud of.
04:15Lewis Hamilton is not going to improve on the front row.
04:19He couldn't get the time he wanted.
04:21Ricciardo goes third fastest.
04:23Lando Norris crosses the line.
04:24Lando Norris is on pole for the first time in his Formula One career, unless someone can deny him.
04:31Fernando Alonso is out there. He's trying his hardest.
04:34Lewis Hamilton stopped on the track.
04:37George Russell goes third fastest.
04:39What a lap from George Russell.
04:41Lewis Hamilton has spun on his final flying lap.
04:45Fernando Alonso crosses the line sixth fastest overall.
04:48But a race after they got their first 1.2 since Canada 2010.
04:55McLaren and Lando Norris are back winning qualifying and getting pole position.
05:02Okay.
05:03Pole position mate. Pole position.
05:06Oh baby. Oh my God.
05:18Yes.
05:19Absolutely outstanding.
05:21And you have to say Hamilton's got his only himself to blame.
05:25He stuck it in the wall in the pits and that's cost him and Bottas a good starting position
05:30because they didn't have two laps.
05:32And he had to let everybody else pass when he was on his out lap and couldn't get temperature.
05:36What a dramatic end to qualifying that was.
05:40Just after the party celebrations had died down after Monza.
05:44Well they can start to whoop and cheer with delight at McLaren again.
05:48Lando Norris recorded his best ever finish didn't he at Monza.
05:53And now he takes pole position.
05:54First career front row start.
05:57Lando Norris the 102nd driver to take a pole position in Formula One.
06:04Yeah, there's there.
06:10Whichポ supports are the least four of them in Formula One.
06:10I'd like to say it was a hock sogasite.
06:10Admitted his장abiscكم,
06:10I, I learned it.
