00:02Joguan Yew has been noted for failing to follow the race director's instructions.
00:06We will report them.
00:07Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna risk crashing.
00:10No, no, you've done the right thing.
00:11We will report them.
00:13They should have a penalty.
00:15That is Logan Sargent into the braking zone.
00:18Wait, what was that?
00:20Wait, did you see that?
00:21Sonoda ruined me.
00:22It'll be interesting to see if Race Control takes a look at that one.
00:26Someone is gonna have an agonizing gap like the one that Sargent has got to Daniel Ricciardo at the moment.
00:31So every moment matters, and that is not what you need if you're Kevin Magnussen,
00:36who's fighting the car all the way through.
00:38Cars on the inside, distraction at the very least.
00:41As Verstappen goes fastest, Magnussen was looking for an improvement.
00:44He finds it, but he misses out, and he does an identical lap time to Logan Sargent,
00:49but he set it second, so he's behind him in the order.
00:53What can the home favorite do?
00:55This man grew up not too far away, just 18 miles away,
01:00and Logan Sargent finds himself up to 12th position.
01:04That's the improvement he was looking for.
01:05Albin gets ahead of his teammate to restore what we've seen in every session,
01:09apart from sprint qualifying yesterday since they became teammates.
01:13Okon goes ahead of Albin in the elimination zone at the moment.
01:17Both V-carps, including this man, Yuki Tsunoda, and Daniel Ricciardo, who finished 4th earlier on.
01:24Crucial moments in qualifying. Tsunoda finds a lap time. That was important.
01:28Alonso is not on an improvement, and is tumbling further down the order.
01:34Sargent's behind him, but let's see whether we get any further improvement now.
01:38No! What a contrast for Daniel Ricciardo.
01:42Here's Stroll across the line. He's the driver at risk, and he is now into 10th position.
01:48He needed that. Sargent's missing out. Bottas gets ahead of him.
01:52That's going to be so close for Valtteri Bottas, who misses out by one hundredth of a second.
01:57And Alonso, he didn't find an improvement, and he has just made it through there by one hundredth of a
02:05second.
02:09That's bizarre, actually. No obvious saying of lock-up as he rolled into the corner. Just listen.
02:15Ties are just absolutely destroyed. I can't get them to last more than six corners.
02:22Fernando Alonso on the racetrack, pushing on and trying to fight his way into the top ten shootout.
02:29Struggling with the front grip. He sits behind his teammate right now.
02:32He's going to pop up at a personal best only just ahead of Stroll, but Stroll on a decent lap
02:36behind him.
02:37He's on a personal best. He's just got one corner to go coming through turn 17.
02:41Not ideal for Aston Martin, but Fernando Alonso is on an old set of tires, and it certainly showed with
02:48that lap time.
02:49Stroll gets up to ninth, and Lance Stroll, Canadian driver, into ninth position at the moment.
02:55Tsunoda improved, and that is a key indicator for the rest of the field.
03:00Hamilton on a decent lap at the moment. Needs one to progress, and up to second position he goes.
03:08It's Leclerc, then Hamilton, then Piastri, Perez and Norris in the drop zone at the moment.
03:14George Russell trying to respond immediately. He's just seen his teammate move up to second place.
03:18It's only eighth though for Russell, and the checkered flag is waving.
03:22Can anyone put the pressure on Russell?
03:25Alex Alvin reported on the radio that he could only make the soft tires last for six corners.
03:31Well, he's heading to turn 17 where he had a moment before, which is why he's miles adrift on the
03:36timing tower.
03:37Can he get himself anywhere close to making it in to the top ten shootout for the first time this
03:43year?
03:43He's gone out in Q2 every single time, and he goes over the line, and the same thing has happened
03:50again.
03:51He is out in the second part of qualifying. Stroll, Gasly, Ocon, Albon and Alonso.
03:58The five to go for the first time all season long though.
04:02It'll be Gasly, the lead Alpine on the grid. He's out qualified his teammate for the first time this year.
04:08Hamilton over the line, chasing his first top six start in a Grand Prix all year long.
04:14He goes ahead of Hülkenberg, who's set the only real representative lap time on the board.
04:20Russell is behind his teammates at the two thirds distance.
04:23By the time you get to the end though, Hamilton's sliding in the middle part of the lap in the
04:29final sector as well, proving key.
04:32Perez goes three tenths of a second ahead of Russell.
04:34Verstappen going even quicker still in the middle part of the racetrack.
04:39Lando Norris looking nice at the middle sector as well.
04:43Charles Leclerc is setting a roasting pace out there to match the temperature.
04:48That is a great lap time for Max Verstappen.
04:5127-2. Does anyone have a response to that?
04:55He's gone half a second quicker than his teammate Lando Norris behind on that medium tyre.
05:00What about Charles Leclerc though? He was on the front row yesterday.
05:03He books his place back on the front row after run number one goes ahead of Perez.
05:09Sainz does the same thing as well. Verstappen, Leclerc, Sainz, Perez, Norris on the mediums.
05:15Russell ahead of Hamilton, Hülkenberg ahead of Tsunoda.
05:18And the final piece of the puzzle is Oscar Piastri, who goes ahead of Perez and takes P4.
05:27There's very few personal bests appearing on the timing page at the moment.
05:32Charles Leclerc's car has slid away. It's not going to work.
05:36Perez have got up to fourth position ahead of Piastri.
05:38Max Verstappen can't improve his time. The only personal best that we've had over the line so far was Sergio
05:44Perez to take fourth place.
05:47Can anyone find an improvement?
05:49Lando Norris gets ahead of his teammate up to fifth.
05:51And now let's see as we go over the line and as expected. No improvement for Leclerc.
05:59What about the second Ferrari? This is Carlos Sainz currently third on the grid.
06:04And he'll remain third on the grid. The grip going away. And the driver's not able to find an improvement.
06:11We go to the private battle then. And Hamilton is on for an improvement.
06:16Let's see what he can find over the line. He gets himself up to eighth.
06:20Still behind his teammate though on that medium tire. Medium tire for George Russell as well.
06:26What can he find? Personal best in sector three, but not overall.
06:30So hardly anything by way of improvement.
06:34And that is a perfect record in Grand Prix qualifying, continuing for the sixth race in a row.
06:42Verstappen will continue to start from the front of the field.
06:46He's taken pole for the Miami Grand Prix.
