00:01Hamilton's just done the fastest Middlesex but his first sector which was
00:04fastest initially that's already being beaten by several others he slides he
00:08spins Lewis Hamilton spins off now can he get it out of the gravel he knows what
00:12he's doing he's gonna get out I think and get back onto the track wall and
00:18Hamilton there just turned it in and it was one of those things he carrying dry
00:21speed he had good commitment on the other fast corners but you touch a damp part
00:24and you suddenly got no grip at all it's way too late to save it because you're
00:28offline and you haven't got the right ties for that bit of track
00:32I don't think to switch off red flag now 311 to go you might get one flying
00:38lap in when they restart this oh oh wow yeah everything did you shut off coming
00:43through still that's unusual isn't it just to hear it cut out completely like that
00:48there's a broken wing on Max Verstappen's car how has he managed that we gather he
00:52drove into the wall as he left his garage so he's damaged the front wing that's
00:55something they can change pretty quickly here's just a quick replay yeah just I
00:59mean pretty standard here I just understand I know it's just in a group
01:05everyone is crying if you don't put in a lot wherever you are now you could be in
01:09trouble here's Perez to the top by seven tenths of a second you're gonna see a
01:13complete turnaround look at that Albon's come quicker than Perez so he's surely safe
01:17into the next part of qualifying but we're gonna see a massive change Lando
01:21Norris goes 1-2 for Williams Logan Sargent 1-2 for Williams as you say it's one lap
01:28qualifying it's like the days of old here and everyone is improving Norris is
01:33absolutely flying on this lap there's Joe then up into the top five ahead of Max
01:37Verstappen and it is an advantage to be the last across the line because the
01:41others up ahead of you have dried the circuit dried the line out a bit so it's
01:45definitely better if you're last look at Norris you're seeing improved lap times
01:48all the time but Steppen's not going very quickly you know he's not improved in
01:52the first sector halfway around the lap and he's barely finding time on himself
01:55that cheer did you hear that cheer as Norris has set the fastest time
01:59Stroll's gone second but Steppen's down to tenth guys you you weren't wrong
02:04Ben nobody's safe when the track's over a second and a half faster
02:07still the grips right on the edge as we jump on board with Hulkenberg who's now
02:1119th out of the 19 runners he goes fourth wow and now Hamilton's down in 15th place
02:17Russell's out at the moment Tsunoda up to 10th here's Russell coming over the
02:20line he goes second so Russell's safe there's Hamilton in the background about
02:24to come through he goes third and Verstappen Perez is in trouble 14th 15th for
02:30Perez Perez is gone my goodness again that's that's five Q3s in a row that he's not
02:36gonna make that's remarkable Perez out Tsunoda out
02:39Joe Guan Yu and there's Valtteri Bottas at the side of the track Bottas has made it
02:45through no power copy copy he was the first one out was that an error to put
02:51him at the end of the pit lane first one out because he had to deal in a way with
02:55the wetter track
02:57we're gonna see some more improvements again it's important you get your final
03:01lap in here
03:02so Leclerc goes second he's still not quite as quick as Norris on the complete lap
03:07let's just see what his teammate does as well in the background you'll see Carlos
03:10Sainz just coming out of the last corner he goes second
03:13still Norris is on top because they give themselves another lap technically I don't
03:17think they'll improve now but they were in the way or they would really meddling
03:20with drivers starting a final flyer Albon goes second what a lap
03:23wow Alex Albon and that is tremendous and what about his teammate he's into
03:28ninth can he get into Q3 for the first time in his career
03:31Alonso's just set a purple middle sector so I'm not sure he jumps up to fifth
03:35now sergeant
03:36he's pushing behind
03:41here's max then faster through the first two sectors everyone improving you've got to
03:45deliver on this final up I don't think sergeant's going to have done enough in
03:47tenth right now as Verstappen lowers the benchmark even more yeah 127.7 so here we go this is the
03:54crucial moment the checkered flag is out Piastri second fastest surely he's into Q3
03:59another tremendous effort by Piastri Stroll goes 10th that may well not be enough
04:04but Ocon actually only 11th yeah that's surprising Hulkenberg goes 10th so he might be safe it just
04:11depends now on who else can improve it's Gasly v Hulkenberg so Alonso's going to be fine up in
04:17seventh as it turns out across the line he's done it he's got through and Hulkenberg has been
04:21squeezed out to Hulkenberg Stroll Ocon sergeant sergeant's on a lap but it's not on a quick lap at all
04:27and that's it and Bottas of course with no time so this was Ocon I believe starting a flying lap
04:33with Lance Stroll launched it in on Stroll what I don't really know what he's doing there just wait
04:38a turn so we now know who's in the top 10 Verstappen Piastri Norris both McLarens
04:43Albon then the Ferraris Alonso safe Hamilton through Gasly and Russell
04:51into the last little section comes Lewis Hamilton is he going to have the pace to challenge for yet
04:56another pole position here at Silverson I rather doubt he's got quite enough this weekend he does
05:00go fastest for the moment 127.717 let's see what his teammate does Albon goes second fastest 27.9
05:09Russell already over the lines a little bit slower and Lando Norris goes fourth fastest so look at that
05:15Brits I know he's a tie as well but briefly and then Alonso jumps in the Spaniard goes second
05:21it helps when they're the first four over the line though the first four drivers all the Brits
05:26and there goes Max Verstappen their fastest lap of the weekend for Max and that was new tyres on the
05:31Red Bull so that's the really representative one at this stage of Verstappen gapping the field but
05:36you would expect that with the tyres that he was on and the Ferrari's over the line now and
05:40Leclerc third Sainz fourth and Piastri good lap from Piastri again he's out qualified Lando Norris
05:46Lando Norris is a lot not so strong Gasly now goes eighth Sainz is uh one tenth down on Verstappen
05:54so
05:54the two Ferraris gonna come through first Leclerc final corner really left then right now squeeze on
05:59the throttle the last will be flat out Russell's in the mix as well one tenth down on Verstappen
06:03he goes second Charles Leclerc potentially on the front row but it depends what everybody else does
06:09here only second by 0.052 we always see it like this at Silverstone it's always within 0.06 0
06:15.07
06:16Sainz goes third fastest beaten by his teammate but good for Ferrari Russell goes fourth for the
06:22moment 1.27 1.55 watch out for Alonso and Hamilton Alonso goes fifth fastest what can Hamilton do
06:30in the background and don't forget Lando Norris has been fast all the time though Hamilton's fifth
06:34behind his teammate and Lando Norris Lando Norris has taken a pole what's Verstappen doing I'm not
06:41sure he's doing enough I'm not sure Piastri third let's have a look Verstappen can he get it back
06:48oh he's done it he's done it my goodness oh what a performance from McLaren second and third
06:56this is incredible we're now about to see Albon come across the line he could improve on tenth place
07:02just the last little section when he moves up to eight that's great that's fabulous for Williams
07:08great achievement but boy that's incredible for McLaren front row for Lando Norris third place
07:14for Piastri by far the best he's ever qualified yes Max has taken pole but what a story behind him
07:21guys
07:21right mate that's P2 P2 Oscar P3 well done mate great drive very good yeah baby awesome job well done
07:33mate
07:33is that happy? I think so Max Verstappen starting from pole position for Red Bull but then it's the two
07:40McLarens
07:41Lando Norris will start on the front row here at Zelwison first time he's managed to do that at his
07:45home event
07:45and Oscar Piastri with his best ever qualified performance in only his 10th Grand Prix
07:50you
