00:01Hamilton fastest of anyone sector one sector two putting all of that experience to good use and
00:07they're off the back of what was a confidence inspiring championship drive in Silverstone
00:12and he's able to find the group for that opening lap I don't think we can improve like this what's
00:20your concern the temperatures or the rain okay calm down Max then if you're concerned about the
00:26rainy weekend box you can come back to the garage it's not a problem you were talking about tire
00:29attempts one Red Bull driver being calmed down on the radio the other one in the middle part of the
00:35track finds the barrier and a driver under pressure coming into the weekend finds the wall once again
00:42in Formula One qualifying Sergio Perez is okay that's the most important thing but Sergio Perez
00:48is out in the first part of qualifying that's down at turn eight in the middle sector and it's another
00:54moment for Perez when the rain started to fall that he's found the barriers
01:00checkered flag out Verstappen stunning an identical time to Lewis Hamilton massive improvement in the
01:06middle sector for Daniel Ricciardo there's time to be found out there Ricciardo goes fastest of anyone
01:11so far currently looking over their shoulders dropping down it's Pierre Gasly who's stuck in
01:17the pit lane Russell could yet be in trouble everyone behind him is improving and by a huge amount he's
01:22now 13th and shuffling down Alvin goes to fifth Hulkenberg from the back to sixth position Gasly in
01:28the drop zone Ocon in the drop zone Tsunoda improves to eighth position it's changed right at the end now
01:34count the salvers get through Joe just misses out Russell is at risk though can Bottas knock out Russell
01:41he can Bottas gets himself through into the next part of qualifying and George Russell for the second
01:49year in a row will be eliminated in Q1 at the hungaring Magnussen finds a time that gets him to
01:5615th he will
01:58continue to play a part in Formula One qualifying and it changed right at the last Perez hit the wall
02:06he's out
02:06Russell improved but then the track dried up even further Joe improved but not by enough and Alpine
02:12weren't on the circuit at the right time Ocon and Gasly on the back row Fernando Alonso trying to beat
02:21his teammate trying to take his place in the top 10 here he's always been in the points here in
02:25recent
02:26times trying to continue that run improves his lap time not his position Hamilton's not safe in ninth
02:31position one Mercedes has gone out Tsunoda's improving Hulkenberg is on a lap as well as is Bottas
02:37Hamilton is not safe in ninth currently he is not improving Hamilton is done in terms of his lap time
02:44on the racetrack risky moments for Alex Elbin Logan Sargent down to 11th and now it's Sayuki Tsunoda in the
02:51V car gets himself up to eighth position Ricciardo is currently in ninth the driver at risk is Lewis Hamilton
02:58and Valtteri Bottas and Hulkenberg are on personal bests Hulkenberg's quicker than Hamilton through two sectors
03:04Hamilton's in big trouble Hamilton is done he has crossed the line the checkered flag is waving Bottas
03:11Hulkenberg Magnussen all aiming for that top 10 it's 11th for Bottas what about Hulkenberg can he find
03:18a time that's good enough no he's in 11th place Magnussen trying to find his way to Q3 for the
03:24first time
03:25this year and he can't get there oh what a reprieve at the end for Lewis Hamilton who's made it
03:30through
03:31by 100th of a second 100th is a tiny margin but it sees Hamilton through for a refresh and a
03:40go at
03:40getting higher up the order he's got two corners to go before he puts his time on the board looking
03:48for
03:48his ninth pole position of the season and 41st all time time to beat a 115 555 and look at
03:56the way
03:56that he jumps immediately off the racing line to not give Norris a toe Piastri's not done the job in
04:02the first two sectors he's good in the final sector but there's a three-tenth gap between the first Red
04:08Bull and the first McLaren Norris only now starts a flyer he will hope it stays dry third place for
04:14Carlos Sainz doesn't have an answer to Piastri or Max Verstappen what about Lewis Hamilton nine times
04:19on pole position at this circuit in the past but he can't get on to the provisional front row as
04:24it
04:24stands he's ahead of Carlos Sainz third place for him fighting the car soaring away at the steering
04:30wheel Charles Leclerc one of four pole sitters so far this year he's up to third this is the penultimate
04:36corner of the racetrack for a driver who is chasing pole position number three in Formula One
04:42he'll want to get it done on the first run in case the rain is arriving Lando Norris to the
04:48line
04:48and to the front of the field by three tenths of a second that's provisional pole and then some
04:57this one is not settled yet three minutes to go improving times on the racetrack let's see what
05:03Oscar Piastri can do chasing his maiden pole position in Formula One he's missed out by two hundredths
05:08of a second it's a provisional front row for McLaren Sainz in the mix though Verstappen in the mix who
05:15can get to the front row who can get to pole Sainz fighting the car the Ferrari's not so good
05:20as the
05:20lap continues and the time ebbing away for Carlos Sainz but what can Verstappen do about Norris's
05:26benchmark this looks good for Max Verstappen he goes past Lando Norris Norris will get the right of reply
05:31he will hope the rain stays light but Verstappen gunning to the line Verstappen just misses out
05:38he's behind Norris he's behind Piastri and he finds himself in third place as Yuki Tsunoda finds the
05:45barrier and the red flag comes out with an all McLaren front row with a v-carb in the wall
05:52and
05:53Verstappen got close he was four hundredths of a second away Yuki Tsunoda is okay but the red flag is
06:00flying
06:00to interrupt the push laps of Alonso of Riccardo and the man who dropped it pushing on there Norris
06:07didn't get a right of reply not at this stage it's a very unusual place for him to end up
06:13it's
06:14it's on the outside of turn five which is newly uh crossed oh my word he launched off it up
06:22high into
06:23the barrier something happened sorry very very unusual you know he was definitely running wide
06:31but you would have expected Julian just to see the rear step out on him but it actually looked
06:35like the whole car just was like a magnet to the armco barrier Max Verstappen won't be heading back
06:40out there with uh two minutes to go as Lando Norris comes in to celebrate a third career pole position
06:48and he did it on the first run he had to do it on the first run what a lap
06:53it was Piastri and Verstappen
06:55both had challenges but couldn't quite get there it ends up being one of those famously close
07:00Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying sessions Lando Norris at the front of the field for the second time this
07:05season for the third time in his career Oscar Piastri equals his best result in Formula 1 qualifying
