00:00Sonoda improving and Ocon improving they're the only two drivers that might
00:04put Kevin Magnussen at risk who's currently 15th. 7th for Sonoda, Esteban Ocon
00:09trying to launch himself forward, oh he's found a lap when it mattered! Esteban
00:14Ocon finally puts an Alpine ahead, Russell is 13th completing the lap but
00:20he's not at risk, two Haases Pierre Gasly and Joe Guarniou but Daniel Ricciardo has
00:27his time deleted for track limits and that is going to change the order. Daniel
00:32Ricciardo who got up to 12th position will tumble down and the new order then
00:39promotes Kevin Magnussen up to 15th. Okay we are through there in E15 as it stands.
00:48Are you joking? No! What do you think? Yeah feels like a bit of a victory that, well done.
01:00Oh that's something to be fair to Joe then that's the only the same amount of
01:03curve as everyone's been taking but you can see the front wing fold in as he
01:06rumbled over it. There you go there there it disappears and the loss of the
01:12downforce compromising him. It's Hulkenberg, Gasly, the home favourite Daniel Ricciardo
01:20found a quick lap time but it wasn't legal and Joe Guarniou is eliminated once
01:24again in Q1. Valtteri Bottas has a good record around here when he raced for
01:32Mercedes. He adores this country, he's a man who likes it in this part of the world
01:37but can he find his way to the top 10? That's the effort. He'll find his way to
01:4112th, not enough. Tsunoda is improving and Stroll is improving as well. Hamilton
01:47could yet be under pressure in that ninth position. This is the big risk. Yuki Tsunoda
01:53trying to make the top 10. Tsunoda will get there, he will get to eighth. He goes
01:58ahead of Russell, he dumps down Lance Stroll who tries to respond and Lance Stroll will
02:03respond. The Canadian driver gets to eighth. Tsunoda thought he's way in as
02:09well.
02:10Are we safe or not?
02:13Like I said, we've just been bumped.
02:16Hamilton is used to dominating at this place. He's out in the second part of
02:22qualifying along with Albon, Bottas, Magnussen and Ocon.
02:30Sainz has put a time on the board of a 1.16.3. Here's George Russell trying to get near
02:37to that.
02:38He's half a second away from that. That's a big goal for a team used to winning races. We move
02:43to the second Ferrari.
02:45A little bit lost in sector two as well for Leclerc who has to wait to get on the throttle
02:49out of the penultimate corner.
02:50Still neck and neck with Sainz to the line. It's going to be really tight across the line with Charles
02:55Leclerc who's a tenth back.
02:57It's a 16.4 for the man from Monaco. Now to the man from Melbourne, the Papaya McLaren with Verstappen
03:05going very quickly.
03:07Sector one, sector two, looking to break Ferrari hearts. But first, the home favourite looking to get past the Mercedes
03:14and the RB. Can he do that?
03:16Yes, he can. He's half a second away, but he's ahead of the Merc and the RB with still plenty
03:24of contenders to come.
03:25Fernando Alonso has been off the road on his first push lap. He was off the road at turn six.
03:30Max Verstappen looking for the front, finding the front. Finally, that car looks dialled in when it matters most.
03:38And he's taken provisional pole. Norris has never been outqualified by a teammate here and he's the lead McLaren at
03:44the moment.
03:44Pérez is ahead of both of them though. He takes fourth on run number one.
03:52That's a moment for Alonso.
03:56Close the car in six.
03:58Sometimes it's a tiny wide moment just over the kerb. That was not a tiny moment. That could have been
04:04the barriers and the end of the session.
04:08Can Verstappen take it further away from everyone else? He can. His advantage is now four tenths of a second
04:16with 20 seconds to go.
04:18And Carlos Sainz is trying to come back and unseat the Red Bulls because Perez has gone to P2.
04:24Here's Sainz back to the front row of the field. He got within three tenths of a second as Piastri
04:29pushing on in the McLaren to go ahead of his teammate as he stands.
04:34But now it will be a chance for Lando Norris. Norris trying to fight back and he gets ahead of
04:41Charles Leclerc.
04:42He gets ahead of his teammate. The checker flag waves for George Russell. Where can he put the car?
04:48He can improve his time but not his position. And Charles Leclerc has bailed out of the lap behind the
04:55McLaren of Lando Norris in fifth position.
04:58And that is Fernando Alonso then trying to improve. We've got Stroll on a personal best. Tsunoda on a personal
05:06best.
05:07And Alonso in a private battle at the end. Let's see what we get from Yuki Tsunoda across the line.
05:14It's eighth position for the Japanese driver. And Fernando Alonso not happy with that session at all.
05:19Will finish behind his teammate and at the bottom of the pile in Q3. The two-time world champion is
05:26in tenth place.
05:27The three-time world champion is in first place once again.
05:32Nice shot, Max. Looks like pole position.
05:35Not bad. That was actually quite a good lap to be honest.
05:38That was two very, very good laps, Max. So well done. Both were good enough for the pole.
05:44This was the final result of qualifying Max Verstappen with his third pole position out of three.
05:51Carlos Sainz in second on the front row. And Sergio Perez completing the top three.
05:56Lando Norris gives McLaren their best start of the season. Charles Leclerc had that moment when he bailed out of
06:00his final run.
06:01Sixth on the grid is a strong result at home.
06:03The Oscar Piastri, the top ten, completed by George Russell, RB's Yuki Tsunoda, Aston Martin.
06:09See Stroll as the lead car on the grid.
