00:01Colopinto and Albon currently 18th and 19th and they're looking for a step forward inside the
00:08top 15 let's see what the Argentine driver can do two times he's out qualified Alex Albon not
00:14this time though can Albon get out of the drop zone he can get to 15th and HĂĽlkenberg was on
00:20a flyer and he didn't improve so he's not going again it's whether now Lawson or Tsunoda can
00:26respond HĂĽlkenberg against expectations finds himself in that drop zone Charles Leclerc goes
00:32to P1 we're on ball with Sergio Perez who is trying to gain some confidence behind the wheel of that
00:38Red Bull Joe Guanyu in 12th position make that 13th because Perez finds a time inside the top 10 and
00:46you've got Lawson pushing on you've got Tsunoda pushing on but Tsunoda's lap time is not where
00:51it needs to be Liam Lawson car number 30 coming through turn 15 one to go for Lawson then who
00:59put
00:59it in the top 10 of sprint qualifying went back on the opening lap today can he escape the first
01:06part
01:07of qualifying it comes over the line he's missed out by two hundredths of a second needs to be a
01:12mighty
01:12final sector and it is for Yuki Tsunoda how incredible is that not a single personal best
01:20around the entire lap but when you add it all up he's knocked out Alex Albon as Gasly goes to
01:27P10
01:27and Tsunoda stayed with it and finds P15 and the five to four Albon Lawson HĂĽlkenberg
01:37Kola Pinto and Esteban Ocon Magnusson was psyching himself up we've stayed with him all the way
01:44round he gets himself to a sixth he really delivers when it matters but what can the Saubers do across
01:49the line Joe just misses out on a first Q3 appearance of the entire season he couldn't get
01:56there let's see now with Stroll in 14th the driver at risk is Lewis Hamilton his old teammate his good
02:03friend Valtteri Bottas coming out of the final corner let's see where he can put the car behind
02:08Joe who out qualifies Valtteri Bottas for the second week in a row Sainz is also out there attacking
02:15Charles Leclerc has gone to second Russell stays in fourth Alonso did not have a time on the board
02:20as Sainz goes to sixth and now it's all about Fernando Alonso can the Aston Martin driver find
02:27something he can look at that time good enough for seventh place and suddenly Hamilton was in
02:34the drop zone for all of a couple of seconds because that lap time is good enough for fifth
02:38Verstappen is roaring on to the fastest time and let's see as we go across the line it was all
02:45looking
02:45so good for Pierre Gasly now in the drop zone out in the second part of qualifying and the margins
02:52at
02:52the end there were very very tight as we've come to expect in Formula One 2024
03:00Charles Leclerc searching for his fourth pole position of the season Ferrari trying to minimize
03:06the damage this has been a McLaren track so far this weekend first effort in the final part of
03:11qualifying for Sainz over the line he manages to go fastest of anyone so far his teammate will be next
03:18his teammate will be faster by a tenth and a half George Russell looking to continue this run at
03:25the front of the field in Formula One qualifying faster sector one faster sector two Verstappen now
03:32on an out lap will reply to the Ferraris and this man across the line the first Mercedes across the
03:38line
03:38goes fastest by three tenths of a second Russell to the front of the field on run number one
03:44Piastri's reply puts him only in fourth position and Hamilton where can he put that second Mercedes
03:51that's encouraging for him up to third remember how downbeat he was yesterday he's four tenths of a
03:57second away from Russell's time second place for Max Verstappen he got close but he misses out by
04:05four hundredths across the line Sainz and Leclerc are on for personal best as is Kevin Magnussen so
04:13everyone improving with a track at its best man that was committed oh it's so impressive absolutely
04:20flat through that sequence of corners one to goal small correction on the way and could cost him a bit
04:26of momentum onto the main straight amazing speed through 12 13 and 14 out of 16 across the line no
04:33improvement Verstappen though fastest first sector of the entire session so far to heap the pressure
04:39on George Russell who's pushing on as well checkered flag is out where does Charles Leclerc go across the
04:45line he improves his lap time but not his position over to you McLaren can they find form Piastri goes
04:52to
04:52third Verstappen is roaring on he's still quicker than George Russell here's Lando Norris though across the
04:58line to third place to beat his teammates and now we've got Hamilton pushing on we've got Verstappen
05:03pushing on and Russell as well but it's not been a good middle sector for George Russell the driver
05:09currently in provisional pole final corner for Max Verstappen chasing his first pole position since
05:15Austria earlier in the year and he's got it he's got it by five hundredths of a second ninth place
05:23for
05:23Perez Hamilton will be the last driver over the line Russell couldn't find an improvement and neither
05:29can Lewis Hamilton and the world champion steps forward strikes back and takes his first pole
05:36since the Austrian Grand Prix the world champions back on top in Formula One qualify
05:43Yabba-dabba-doo Max that is the first official pole since Austria well done that was a mighty qualifying
05:49well done mate yeah well done well done that was really amazing the turnaround great job guys
05:57and that was Russell super dangerous Verstappen well race control will look at this yeah that was not
06:05his time lap there was it that was a build lap so if it's a build lap then they can
06:10get away with it if
06:10that was a timed lap then now it's a slam dunk penalty it sets us up for a box office
06:16Qatar Grand Prix
06:18on a day where so much happened in Formula One
