00:06:1466 points through 25 for a Grand Prix victory.

00:06:18He is 68 ahead of George Russell, 66 ahead of Lewis Hamilton,

00:06:21who is second in the standings going in to this event.

00:06:25Round 7 of the World Championship.

00:06:27And Fernando Alonso taking the time to wave to the masses

00:06:30as he builds the tyre temperature.

00:06:33And that is going to be a very simple job on the evidence of this weekend.

00:06:39Haas have not been happy so far this weekend.

00:06:43They started the season with a car that was easy to set up.

00:06:48Every change improved it.

00:06:50They brought an update in recent races,

00:06:52and they've gone back to what they had last year,

00:06:54where they are searching for answers all the way to the end of 3 Practice 3.

00:07:00And as a result, Esteban Ocon and Holly Behrman, especially DC,

00:07:05have been so downbeat on the radio,

00:07:08struggling for balance on these Pirelli tyres.

00:07:11Yeah, it's the biggest challenge for a driver

00:07:15when you just don't feel that the car is responding to the normal changes you would make

00:07:19when you're seeking balance.

00:07:20It's one thing to accept that you may not have as much downforce or performance

00:07:26as another competitor when the car is at least responsive.

00:07:29But they seem to have found themselves in a window right now

00:07:32where it just isn't reacting in a logical way.

00:07:36That makes it unpredictable.

00:07:37Of course, that affects the driver's confidence

00:07:39when they're approaching some of these high-speed turns.

00:07:42And throw in the fact we're on a hillside,

00:07:44and it can be a little bit gusty with the wind.

00:07:46Then, same way, you get turbulence in an aircraft,

00:07:49and you feel it bouncing around.

00:07:50Clearly, the car is planted into the tarmac,

00:07:53but that wind has an effect to destabilise the aerodynamics

00:07:56and make it further more unpredictable.

00:08:00DC, you've done so many laps around this circuit.

00:08:03You were in Formula 1 when the testing era meant

00:08:07that so many test days were completed at this venue.

00:08:10Just tell everyone at home

00:08:11the corners that can be affected by the wind around this circuit.

00:08:16Well, the main ones, of course,

00:08:17is where you're generating aerodynamic loads.

00:08:20So if we start with the lap as a whole,

00:08:23if you've got a tailwind down into Turn 1,

00:08:25approaching there over 200 miles an hour,

00:08:27as we see the Haas coming out of the final corner,

00:08:29then that just takes downforce off the car.

00:08:32Now, thankfully, that's a fairly open apex turn,

00:08:35but if you get out of shape there,

00:08:37you don't get positioned through 2,

00:08:38which then affects you for Turn 3.

00:08:40Very high-speed, high G, driver's necks with the helmet.

00:08:45Strapped to the head, of course,

00:08:46starts to scream during the Grand Prix.

00:08:50And as we go on board with the Williams,

00:08:53well, Alex Albon has been having a difficult weekend so far,

00:08:56and it'll be interesting to see

00:08:58whether they're getting on top of that balance.

00:09:00I think they found something that suggested

00:09:02the set-up had drifted from the intended position.

00:09:06So looking like he's nipped and tucked there

00:09:08with Sainz only a tenth away,

00:09:10so maybe they've got on top of that.

00:09:12Sainz finds himself top of the pile at the moment.

00:09:15Then it's Ocon and Behrman.

00:09:17Albon finds himself in fourth, which is significant,

00:09:20because we expect the Cadillacs and the Aston Martins

00:09:22to be eliminated.

00:09:23So essentially, we are having a fight

00:09:25over a couple of places,

00:09:27and Albon being behind the Haases and his teammate

00:09:30is not what he would want to see

00:09:32at this stage of the session.

00:09:34Early on, of course, though.

00:09:36And they will still get plenty of time to post more runs

00:09:42later in the session.

00:09:43Alex Albon, on average this year,

00:09:44the 18th best qualifier in a field of 22.

00:09:48Some contrast to this time last year

00:09:50when he was free-scoring in the championship

00:09:53on his way to what was eventually an eighth-place finish

00:09:56in the Formula One World Championship.

00:09:58Yeah, it's been a difficult start for Williams.

00:10:00They were very straightforward and honest

00:10:03in as much that they failed to get the car

00:10:06to the opening test of the season here in Barcelona.

00:10:09And then the car has been a little bit overweight.

00:10:12As a reminder for any of our new listeners and viewers,

00:10:1610 kilograms is about 0.3 of a second

00:10:19on lap time every single lap.

00:10:22So if the car is overweight,

00:10:24then there's just no way around that performance.

00:10:27And they've been getting that car on a diet

00:10:29over the last few weeks and months.

00:10:32And the progress did see them, of course,

00:10:34get some points in Monaco at the weekend.

00:10:36But it may be challenging here.

00:10:39Williams were on for a double-point score

00:10:42in the last Grand Prix.

00:10:43But that late restart upending the order.

00:10:46You can tell that's Matteo Benotto,

00:10:48even if that's a long view with his distinctive haircut.

00:10:51Crossing the pit lane.

00:10:53And it's a busy pit lane at the moment

00:10:55as our main contenders move on to the racetrack,

00:10:59including our championship leader,

00:11:01Kimi Antonelli.

00:11:03Five Grand Prix victories in a row.

00:11:05Four pole positions in this season.

00:11:08A breakthrough.

00:11:09Sprint pole last year in his rookie campaign.

00:11:11And Grand Prix pole on four occasions

00:11:13out of the first six races.

00:11:15But on the evidence of practice so far, DC,

00:11:18he's looked the second faster Mercedes driver.

00:11:21Yeah, he's been slowly playing catch-up.

00:11:23Missed the first part of the weekend

00:11:25as that was reserved for the test and reserve driver

00:11:29to do some laps.

00:11:30So he found himself, actually, as a race fan

00:11:33in the grandstand.

00:11:34He was undercover.

00:11:36And then he had a, what was it,

00:11:37a Spider-Man mask and a hoodie on.

00:11:39So when we saw him on the screen yesterday,

00:11:42it looked like someone couldn't quite afford

00:11:44an adult mask because it didn't cover all his face.

00:11:47But anyway, Mercedes have put all the budget

00:11:50into the Formula One car and it's certainly delivered.

00:11:53So I feel that, yes, he is playing catch-up.

00:11:55And I saw George Russell this morning

00:11:58at breakfast in the hotel.

00:12:00And he didn't bounce in there like someone

00:12:02with the weight of the world in his shoulders.

00:12:04He bounced in there with a confidence

00:12:06and really gave me the sense

00:12:08that he's feeling up for it this weekend.

00:12:11He's feeling confident in what the car's giving him.

00:12:13So I think it's going to be interesting to see

00:12:15how deep Kimi can actually dig

00:12:19and whether he can get to a point

00:12:21where he can overturn George Russell,

00:12:22who we know needs a big result this weekend.

00:12:26No escaping that for George Russell.

00:12:28He has failed to score in the last two Grand Prix.

00:12:31He's not finished on the podium

00:12:32in any of the last four,

00:12:34which would have been unthinkable, really,

00:12:36when you saw how dominant his drive was

00:12:38to take the win in the season opener

00:12:40in the Australian Grand Prix,

00:12:42what must feel, a really long time ago.

00:12:45Max Verstappen is out

00:12:47and attacking the racetrack at the moment.

00:12:50He has the fastest first sector of anyone so far.

00:12:52But as we went VisorCam DC,

00:12:54we saw the story of his weekend

00:12:55fighting at the wheel of the Red Bull.

00:12:58Yeah, he has not found a balance.

00:13:00And he's had to sort of dial in

00:13:02all of his magic there,

00:13:04as you see, on power, kick of oversteer

00:13:06as he comes out of that low-speed turn 10.

00:13:08Again, not much downforce on the car at that point.

00:13:11And that's an area where the Mercedes has been mighty.

00:13:14They look like they've got predictability

00:13:15as they put the power down

00:13:17and they've got stability as well.

00:13:19So let's see, as he lays down his lap,

00:13:2216-3, well, that would suggest

00:13:24that Mercedes have the potential,

00:13:26based on free practice,

00:13:27to do their opening laps in the 15s.

00:13:31It's been a tricky weekend for Pierre Gasly

00:13:34ever since he got the news

00:13:35that he was reinstated to the podium.

00:13:37That has been an Alpine that is troublesome for him.

00:13:40They had to do a gearbox change on the car.

00:13:43They broke the curfew last night

00:13:45trying to troubleshoot an issue.

00:13:47He was level-pegging with his teammate

00:13:49earlier on in practice,

00:13:51one place ahead.

00:13:52And he's one place ahead once again.

00:13:54As Charles Leclerc goes to the top of the pile

00:13:56by three-tenths of a second.

00:13:57And it's Max Verstappen,

00:13:58Nico Hülkenberg, Gasly and Kola Pinto.

00:14:01Hadjar, who I have to say,

00:14:02took the demotion off the podium really well.

00:14:05If you consider that he doesn't hide

00:14:07any of his emotions,

00:14:08he took it on the chin

00:14:09and said he was pleased for Pierre.

00:14:11He said the only thing he was worried about

00:14:13was losing the points in the championship,

00:14:15which was a strong mentality.

00:14:17And what else can you do

00:14:18when you've been shuffled off the podium

00:14:20a few days after the event?

00:14:21George Russell is now the fastest driver out there

00:14:24with a 1.15.7.

00:14:26He's ahead of Charles Leclerc.

00:14:27Then it's Kimi Antonelli on a 1.15.9.

00:14:29And I'm intrigued to see

00:14:31where the second Ferrari goes.

00:14:32Seven-tenths of a second

00:14:33off the raw pace earlier on

00:14:34for Lewis Hamilton.

00:14:35But he is quickest.

00:14:37And I can tell you

00:14:38by way of tyre comparison,

00:14:40it is a new set for everyone out there.

00:14:42And Hamilton,

00:14:43who all he was doing on the radio

00:14:45earlier on, DC,

00:14:46was asking where he was losing time.

00:14:47That's a question for everyone else right now.

00:14:49He is fastest.

00:14:51Yeah, that will be a nice welcome confidence boost

00:14:54as they've reflected on the pre-practice three,

00:14:58made any adjustments

00:14:59that they were able to do

00:15:00ahead of going out

00:15:01to establish where the racetrack is.

00:15:04And Hamilton will take

00:15:05a lot of confidence from that.

00:15:08Nothing better than seeing

00:15:09your name at the top

00:15:11after the timing screens.

00:15:14Drivers, of course,

00:15:15get that information

00:15:15in the cockpit

00:15:16in terms of what they've delivered.

00:15:18And then they'll look up

00:15:19to the big screen

00:15:20that's on the right

00:15:21of the start-finish straight

00:15:22to get confirmation

00:15:23of where they sit

00:15:24in the pecking order.

00:15:26And for Hamilton,

00:15:27it's number one right now.

00:15:29And Lando Norris

00:15:30previously has a pole position

00:15:31around this circuit.

00:15:32Remember,

00:15:32we're just looking

00:15:33for the top 16

00:15:34to progress

00:15:34into the next part of qualifying

00:15:36before we'll reset the times.

00:15:38It's only a second

00:15:39career pole position

00:15:39when he took it

00:15:40a couple of years ago.

00:15:41Piastri goes ahead

00:15:42of his teammate.

00:15:43He's in fifth.

00:15:44Norris is in sixth position

00:15:46at the moment.

00:15:47Running again,

00:15:48Oliver Behrman,

00:15:49up to 15th,

00:15:50but only 15th.

00:15:51And the Haas is really at risk

00:15:53of falling at the first hurdle.

00:15:55For the Cadillac drivers,

00:15:56the Aston Martin drivers,

00:15:58it's just a hit and hope

00:15:59at this stage of the weekend.

00:16:00As we go over the line

00:16:01with Valtteri Bottas,

00:16:02he improves to 19th position,

00:16:04personal best

00:16:05in all three sectors

00:16:06of the racetrack.

00:16:07The yellow flag

00:16:09I'm hearing

00:16:10was for Lance Stroll,

00:16:11who is still circulating

00:16:14on my graphic

00:16:15in front of me.

00:16:16Let's go to the first turn.

00:16:18This is Carlos Sainz,

00:16:18not Alex Albon.

00:16:19And Carlos Sainz

00:16:20breaking into the first turn

00:16:22with a lockup.

00:16:23Oh, you see plenty of those.

00:16:24Then you've got to rejoin

00:16:25the right way.

00:16:26No, ignore that.

00:16:27Don't worry about it.

00:16:27And he's straight back

00:16:28onto the racetrack.

00:16:29Yeah, it's surprising

00:16:30to have that kind of lockup

00:16:33as we see Alex Albon

00:16:34go very, very wide

00:16:36in nine.

00:16:38We're talking

00:16:39almost another postcode.

00:16:40It's one thing

00:16:41to go beyond

00:16:42the red and white curve,

00:16:42but to have gone that wide,

00:16:45I'm very surprised.

00:16:46But yeah,

00:16:47for Sainz,

00:16:48the lockup,

00:16:49it's sort of reminiscent

00:16:50of what we've seen here

00:16:51with Stroll down

00:16:52in turn 10.

00:16:53A number of cars,

00:16:54including the Mercedes,

00:16:55found themselves

00:16:56being pushed on

00:16:57through the apex.

00:16:58and it's almost like

00:17:00it's a sort of

00:17:02control systems issue,

00:17:04especially in turn one,

00:17:06which you give a big

00:17:07spike of brake initially,

00:17:08but then you're off the brakes

00:17:09and rolling through

00:17:10what is a fairly long apex corner.

00:17:13So yeah,

00:17:14some anomalies

00:17:15in the way the cars

00:17:16are delivering

00:17:17their performance here.

00:17:18It's kind of what

00:17:19we've been seeing

00:17:20since Melbourne, Australia.

00:17:22There's new regulation,

00:17:23new hybrid control systems,

00:17:25a lot more management

00:17:26required to charge

00:17:28what is almost 45%

00:17:31of the total energy

00:17:32available around

00:17:33the race lap.

00:17:35We were not at all

00:17:36energy limited in Monaco,

00:17:38but a more natural racetrack

00:17:40like Barcelona,

00:17:42then the management

00:17:43becomes a much bigger

00:17:44part of the overall performance.

00:17:47So the driver's having

00:17:48to balance all of that.

00:17:50It is a changing

00:17:51wind direction

00:17:52down at turn one as well.

00:17:53We started the session

00:17:54with a tailwind.

00:17:55It's now a crosswind

00:17:56under the bumps

00:17:57of turn one.

00:18:00Signs has reported

00:18:03that he's unhappy

00:18:04with the prep

00:18:05and his tyres

00:18:06were not in the temperature window

00:18:07because of where

00:18:08the car was placed

00:18:09onto the circuit

00:18:10and the team

00:18:11forced him,

00:18:12he believes,

00:18:13to slow down

00:18:13and let the other drivers

00:18:14through who are on push laps.

00:18:16It's Hamilton,

00:18:17Russell, Leclerc

00:18:17and Antonelli.

00:18:19Albon is reporting

00:18:20on the radio

00:18:20that he doesn't understand

00:18:21what's going on

00:18:22with the car

00:18:22in turn nine.

00:18:24Specifically,

00:18:25that's understandable

00:18:25if you consider

00:18:26that he was a car's width

00:18:27wide and into the gravel

00:18:29at that point.

00:18:30Worth highlighting for you

00:18:31Arvid Lindblad

00:18:32in eighth position.

00:18:34A winner here

00:18:34in Formula 3

00:18:35and Formula 2

00:18:37and he's carried that

00:18:38into the top tier

00:18:40of motor racing.

00:18:41He's eighth at the moment

00:18:42ahead of his experienced

00:18:44teammate Liam Lawson.

00:18:45It was the same

00:18:46in free practice.

00:18:47It's the same again

00:18:48in the first part

00:18:49of qualifying

00:18:50and our attention

00:18:51now turns

00:18:52to those at risk.

00:18:54Those who don't have

00:18:55a time on the board

00:18:56where they can feel safe.

00:18:58Sainz is looking

00:18:59over his shoulder

00:18:59at a venue

00:19:00where if you give him

00:19:01the equipment

00:19:01he's a 10-time

00:19:03point scorer

00:19:03and he's absolutely

00:19:04desperate to get out

00:19:05there DC

00:19:06before the blankets

00:19:07had even come

00:19:08off the tyres.

00:19:09Yeah,

00:19:09he wants to go out

00:19:11and sort of build

00:19:12on his most recent

00:19:14experience

00:19:15of being out on track.

00:19:16There's always going

00:19:17to be a little bit

00:19:18of circuit evolution

00:19:19as the circuit

00:19:20is reconnected

00:19:23with the Formula 1

00:19:24Pirelli tyres

00:19:25rather than the other

00:19:26sport races

00:19:27that are here

00:19:28and he wants to be

00:19:29in control

00:19:29of his out lap

00:19:30and his build as well.

00:19:32If you end up

00:19:32in amongst the masses

00:19:33like this

00:19:34you're at the mercy

00:19:35of if they go slow

00:19:37in front of you

00:19:37and you want to go fast

00:19:38and then you get there

00:19:39and then they accelerate

00:19:40and then you have to

00:19:41slow down.

00:19:42It just really gets

00:19:43in the way

00:19:43of your tyre prep.

00:19:44Fernando Alonso

00:19:46currently in

00:19:4821st position

00:19:493.6 seconds

00:19:51off the

00:19:53benchmark pace

00:19:54set by

00:19:54Lewis Hamilton.

00:19:56Lance Stroll

00:19:564.3 seconds off.

00:19:59Alex Albon

00:20:00finds himself

00:20:01in 20th place

00:20:02facing elimination

00:20:04at the moment

00:20:04along with

00:20:05Esteban Ocon

00:20:06and then the two

00:20:07Cadillacs

00:20:07but it is worth saying

00:20:08Sergio Perez

00:20:09trying to escape

00:20:11the first part

00:20:11of Grand Prix

00:20:12qualifying

00:20:13for the first time

00:20:15with Cadillac

00:20:16and he is

00:20:17margins away

00:20:18from Sainz

00:20:19and that might

00:20:19explain the urgency

00:20:20that we're seeing.

00:20:21It's only two hundredths

00:20:22of a second

00:20:23between Sainz's time

00:20:24and Perez's time.

00:20:25There is an opportunity

00:20:26for Perez

00:20:27to escape the first part

00:20:28of qualifying here

00:20:30and will it make

00:20:31an overall

00:20:31big difference

00:20:32to the weekend?

00:20:32No, but psychologically

00:20:34every hurdle cleared

00:20:35is a big deal

00:20:37for a new team

00:20:38and Cadillac

00:20:38are in just their

00:20:39seventh Grand Prix

00:20:40in Formula 1.

00:20:42Every lap matters.

00:20:43Every lap matters

00:20:44in practice

00:20:45every lap matters

00:20:46in qualifying

00:20:46and the Grand Prix.

00:20:48This is Formula 1.

00:20:50It's not Formula fun.

00:20:52It's not like

00:20:52let's go and have

00:20:52a little wee.

00:20:53You know, this is nice.

00:20:55There's so much

00:20:56goes in

00:20:56so much brain power

00:20:58so much money.

00:21:00New technology

00:21:00is developed

00:21:01on the racetrack

00:21:02that we take advantage

00:21:03of in our everyday lives.

00:21:05So, yeah,

00:21:06it would be huge

00:21:07getting 16th.

00:21:10And I get the feeling

00:21:11he's fully motivated

00:21:12after that error

00:21:13parking up on the grid

00:21:14cost the team

00:21:15their first point

00:21:15in Formula 1.

00:21:17He has really been pushing

00:21:18the Cadillac

00:21:19underneath him.

00:21:20Around the 2.8 mile circuit

00:21:21that runs to 14 corners.

00:21:23We're heading now

00:21:24through the flat out 6th.

00:21:25Not really a corner

00:21:26the drivers worry about.

00:21:277 and 8th.

00:21:27Completely different.

00:21:29All the momentum

00:21:29you carry into

00:21:30the awesome turn 9.

00:21:32That is high speed

00:21:33and that's another corner

00:21:34exposed to the wind.

00:21:35Using a little bit

00:21:36of the exit curve

00:21:37Pierre Gasly

00:21:38doesn't have a personal best

00:21:39in the first sector

00:21:40but he does

00:21:41in the second.

00:21:42The driver currently

00:21:43in 13th.

00:21:45Everyone in the drop zone

00:21:46finding themselves

00:21:47on outlaps.

00:21:49Personal best improvement

00:21:50for Estevan Ocon

00:21:51and for Alex Albon.

00:21:52That's what they need

00:21:53at this stage of the weekend.

00:21:55Minute and 20 seconds

00:21:56to go.

00:21:57Yeah, it's always

00:21:59the adrenaline

00:22:00pumps harder

00:22:01as you get closer

00:22:02to the cut-off point.

00:22:04clearly our front runners

00:22:06Hamilton and the likes

00:22:08no pressure from them

00:22:09but for those

00:22:10trying to get themselves

00:22:11out of that drop zone

00:22:12and Alex Albon

00:22:13again another green

00:22:15sector in the middle

00:22:17as we go on board.

00:22:18Final lap

00:22:19looked a little bit

00:22:20tentative through the apex

00:22:21as he runs for the line.

00:22:23and he manages to get

00:22:25to 15th position.

00:22:26That was a real improvement

00:22:27of lap time for Albon

00:22:28when it mattered most.

00:22:30He puts Behrman

00:22:31to the brink of elimination

00:22:32and he drops his teammate

00:22:33into the drop zone.

00:22:35Sainz-Perez, Ocon,

00:22:37Bottas, Stroll

00:22:37and Alonso heading out.

00:22:39A fine lap for Hülkenberg

00:22:40who moves up to P5.

00:22:42The top 11 did not run again

00:22:44at the end of this session.

00:22:46Ocon goes to 15th.

00:22:48Behrman responds

00:22:49to drop both Williams

00:22:50down into the bottom six

00:22:52at the moment.

00:22:53Here's Fernando Alonso

00:22:54who has conjured

00:22:55some absolute magic

00:22:57when it comes to qualifying

00:22:58around here in the past

00:23:00but even by his standards

00:23:01it would be very,

00:23:03very difficult

00:23:03and he finds himself

00:23:05behind Stroll

00:23:06for the first time

00:23:07in over 40 races

00:23:08with the chequered flag out.

00:23:10Lance Stroll

00:23:11will out-qualify

00:23:12Fernando Alonso.

00:23:14Pérez gets to 19th.

00:23:16He will out-qualify

00:23:17Valtteri Bottas

00:23:18and Esteban Ocon

00:23:20and Alex Albon

00:23:21couldn't find

00:23:22the improvement

00:23:23at the last.

00:23:24Sainz manages

00:23:25to get to P16

00:23:28and he has escaped.

00:23:30There are a lot of drivers

00:23:30who could have fallen

00:23:32that first hurdle

00:23:32but Carlos Sainz

00:23:34finds his way

00:23:35into the next part

00:23:37of qualifying.

00:23:38Albon found

00:23:38a big chunk of time

00:23:39not enough.

00:23:41He is eliminated

00:23:42with Ocon

00:23:43and then it's the Cadillacs

00:23:44and the Aston Martins.

00:23:46Sainz scraping through

00:23:48along with Lawson

00:23:49and Bortoleto

00:23:51the top 14

00:23:52separated by

00:23:53nine tenths of a second

00:23:54but it's Ocon

00:23:56Albon

00:23:57Perez

00:23:58Bottas

00:23:59Stroll

00:24:00finally out-qualifying

00:24:01Fernando Alonso

00:24:02who will start

00:24:03his home race

00:24:04at the back of the field

00:24:06in 22nd place.

00:24:07Lewis Hamilton

00:24:08was fastest

00:24:09in Q1.

00:24:13Well a big margin

00:24:15DC

00:24:16between Behrman

00:24:17and Ocon

00:24:18on the timing page

00:24:19half a second

00:24:20between them

00:24:21and Behrman

00:24:22who looked a candidate

00:24:23to be under pressure

00:24:24delivers

00:24:25under the pressure

00:24:26of the end

00:24:27of Q1.

00:24:28Yeah

00:24:29he's doing a brilliant job.

00:24:31But anyway

00:24:31I think

00:24:32we maximize it

00:24:33for tomorrow.

00:24:34We are

00:24:35going to go to

00:24:36in Q1 tomorrow.

00:24:38Yeah

00:24:39that's the compromise.

00:24:42Well that compromise

00:24:44that they mention

00:24:45to me

00:24:45would suggest

00:24:46race setup

00:24:47versus

00:24:48what would be

00:24:49maybe the best

00:24:50for a single lap

00:24:51and I think

00:24:52given where

00:24:53this team is

00:24:54in its journey

00:24:54that's the smart move

00:24:56and it's going to be

00:24:58a long Grand Prix

00:24:58we're expecting

00:24:59multiple stops

00:25:00tomorrow

00:25:01so Cadillac

00:25:02can be reliable

00:25:03and consistent

00:25:04which

00:25:05you think back

00:25:06on Perez's early career

00:25:07he was sort of

00:25:08you know

00:25:08he was the conservationist

00:25:10amongst the paddock

00:25:11he was able to make

00:25:12tyres go a distance

00:25:13that others could only

00:25:15dream of.

00:25:16Yeah

00:25:16his early podiums

00:25:17with the Salva team

00:25:18in the 2012 season

00:25:20all built

00:25:21on that skill

00:25:22of extracting

00:25:23the best

00:25:24from the Pirelli rubber

00:25:25and just able to go

00:25:26deeper into the Grand Prix

00:25:27than anyone else

00:25:28seemed to be able to do so

00:25:29certainly

00:25:30in the midfield

00:25:31he continued that

00:25:33when he raced

00:25:33for Force India

00:25:34with podiums

00:25:36that others

00:25:36could not manage

00:25:38when it came to

00:25:39running deep

00:25:40into the Grand Prix

00:25:41in Sochi

00:25:42in Monaco

00:25:43yeah

00:25:43it's always been a skill

00:25:45he'll try and replicate it

00:25:46again tomorrow

00:25:47but he's out

00:25:48in the first part

00:25:49of qualifying.

00:25:54Esteban Ocon

00:25:56Alex Albon

00:25:57Sergio Perez

00:25:58Valdry Bottas

00:25:59Lance Stroll

00:25:59and Fernando Alonso

00:26:01have been eliminated

00:26:02from qualifying

00:26:03Lewis Hamilton

00:26:04was fastest

00:26:05in that session

00:26:06let's get some analysis

00:26:07now

00:26:08with Callum Nicholas

00:26:09down in the pit

00:26:10how are we doing Alex

00:26:12great to be back here

00:26:13well

00:26:14an interesting session

00:26:15that one

00:26:15obviously the first thing

00:26:16to talk about

00:26:17being Lance Stroll

00:26:18finally out qualifying

00:26:19his teammate

00:26:20Fernando Alonso

00:26:20unfortunately

00:26:21Fernando

00:26:22that has come

00:26:23at his home

00:26:23Grand Prix

00:26:24but being a little bit

00:26:25more optimistic

00:26:26and looking further

00:26:27up the field

00:26:28what a lap

00:26:28from Nico Hülkenberg

00:26:30now could Audi

00:26:31be serious challenges

00:26:32for Q3

00:26:33that is the question

00:26:34that we're waiting

00:26:34to find out

00:26:35but then

00:26:35let's talk about

00:26:37the Ferraris

00:26:37Lewis Hamilton

00:26:38faster than

00:26:39Charles Leclerc

00:26:40in that session

00:26:40putting it on the top step

00:26:41for now

00:26:42we'll have to see

00:26:43if he can continue that

00:26:44obviously Charles

00:26:45gone in with a new

00:26:45brake package

00:26:46it'd be interesting

00:26:47to find out

00:26:47after qualifying

00:26:48how he feels

00:26:49that's worked out

00:26:49for him

00:26:50but all in all

00:26:51I think this could

00:26:52really heat up

00:26:53I was a bit surprised

00:26:54that the McLarens

00:26:55weren't further up

00:26:55the pecking order

00:26:56in that session

00:26:57it's going to be

00:26:57an interesting one to see

00:26:58I still think

00:26:59it's going to be

00:27:00quite close up the top

00:27:01I've got to say

00:27:02I'm hoping

00:27:03that McLaren

00:27:04can pull something

00:27:04out the bag

00:27:05at some point here

00:27:08it'll be fascinating

00:27:09to see

00:27:10whether McLaren

00:27:11can dial it up

00:27:12on the pressure

00:27:13moment of qualifying

00:27:15Saturday

00:27:16but

00:27:17there were many

00:27:18who believed

00:27:19at the start

00:27:20of the weekend

00:27:21that their car

00:27:22would suit

00:27:23this circuit

00:27:24although if you

00:27:25asked Oscar Piastri

00:27:26DC

00:27:26he said

00:27:27I don't know

00:27:27I've got no idea

00:27:29whether it's going

00:27:29to work around here

00:27:30or not

00:27:30we've not had

00:27:31this type of circuit

00:27:32really earlier

00:27:33in the campaign

00:27:34there are a few

00:27:35you know

00:27:36the opening sector

00:27:36in Miami

00:27:37which is a circuit

00:27:39that both McLarens

00:27:40are on the podium for

00:27:41that's similar

00:27:43with the high speed

00:27:43demands

00:27:44but realistically

00:27:45this is a circuit

00:27:46that tests

00:27:47every facet

00:27:48of the car

00:27:49that you've built

00:27:49yeah I'd say

00:27:51yeah I'd say

00:27:51it's like the ultimate

00:27:52proving ground

00:27:53for a Grand Prix car

00:27:54medium fast

00:27:56couple of slow

00:27:57but long

00:27:58slow corners

00:27:59so no sort of

00:28:01classic

00:28:01big stops

00:28:02point

00:28:03and then

00:28:03squirt

00:28:04as you

00:28:05exit

00:28:05so yeah

00:28:06it's a really

00:28:07challenging racetrack

00:28:08and throw in

00:28:09and throw in

00:28:09the 51 degree

00:28:10track temperature

00:28:13your race cars

00:28:14like cool

00:28:15the engine breathes

00:28:17more easily

00:28:17the tyres

00:28:18just feel like

00:28:19they hang on

00:28:20a lot better

00:28:21so the sort of

00:28:22utopian moment

00:28:23for a race driver

00:28:24is winter testing

00:28:25nine o'clock

00:28:26in the morning

00:28:27new set of tyres

00:28:28and you just

00:28:29feel everything

00:28:30you feel the grip

00:28:31you feel the power

00:28:32this is where it

00:28:33gets really challenging

00:28:33in the heat

00:28:35the tyres

00:28:36getting them to

00:28:37balance around

00:28:38the whole lap

00:28:38especially with

00:28:39the variability

00:28:40of the speed

00:28:40of corners

00:28:41it's just

00:28:42you know

00:28:43it's a compromise

00:28:43and well

00:28:44we're going to

00:28:46find out

00:28:46as we ramp up

00:28:47to the final part

00:28:48of qualifying

00:28:49who has got

00:28:50the best qualifying

00:28:51car

00:28:51and the best

00:28:52compromise

00:28:53looking at those

00:28:54who have been

00:28:55eliminated

00:28:56from the first part

00:28:57of qualifying

00:28:57Esteban Ocon

00:28:58he's out in Q1

00:29:00for the third

00:29:01straight round

00:29:02for Alex Albon

00:29:03he's out in the

00:29:04fourth straight

00:29:05it's his fourth

00:29:06Q1 elimination

00:29:07of the season

00:29:08Albon who is

00:29:09wearing a

00:29:10Nigel Mansell

00:29:11helmet

00:29:12at the occasion

00:29:13of going past

00:29:14Mansell's record

00:29:15of 95 starts

00:29:16for the Williams

00:29:18team

00:29:19Mansell might have

00:29:20wanted to add

00:29:21another season

00:29:22to that

00:29:22but someone

00:29:23took his seat

00:29:23DC

00:29:25that would be me

00:29:26yeah

00:29:27yeah well

00:29:29sorry Nigel

00:29:29Mansell fans

00:29:31of which I was

00:29:32I was definitely

00:29:33one

00:29:33growing up

00:29:34he was

00:29:34one of the

00:29:35star drivers

00:29:37absolute commitment

00:29:38behind the wheel

00:29:39he's sort of a mixture

00:29:40of a

00:29:41Hadjer

00:29:43and a

00:29:44Senna

00:29:45or you know

00:29:46Schumacher

00:29:47and by that I mean

00:29:48he was quite an emotional

00:29:49character wasn't he

00:29:50you'd see him

00:29:50getting out of the car

00:29:52throwing his gloves around

00:29:53and doing all that

00:29:55sort of stuff

00:29:55but then behind the wheel

00:29:57when it came to a

00:29:58qualifying lap

00:29:58in those Williams

00:29:59you know

00:30:00he's Williams

00:30:01Hedy

00:30:01he knew

00:30:03you were about to

00:30:03witness something special

00:30:04absolute commitment

00:30:06behind the wheel

00:30:07and he won the first

00:30:08two Grand Prix

00:30:09held here in

00:30:091991

00:30:10and 1992

00:30:12Peter Sauber

00:30:13has been a guest

00:30:15at Audi

00:30:16in the team

00:30:17that used to bear his name

00:30:18a couple of times

00:30:19in Formula 1

00:30:20started in 1993

00:30:22and sold the team

00:30:23got it back again

00:30:24sold it again

00:30:26and now Audi

00:30:26are trying to build

00:30:28a real foundation

00:30:29to do what they've done

00:30:30in other championships

00:30:31and

00:30:33and compete for titles

00:30:34but it's a long-term plan

00:30:36there's a lot of teams

00:30:37out there though

00:30:37with long-term plans

00:30:39talking about

00:30:402030

00:30:422032

00:30:42that was a strong run

00:30:44for Hülkenberg

00:30:45who of all of the drivers

00:30:47that went for a second run

00:30:48he placed

00:30:49top there

00:30:50with a

00:30:52P5 effort

00:30:53and then

00:30:54the next highest

00:30:54he went for another run

00:30:55for example

00:30:56was Oliver Behrman

00:30:57we are waiting

00:30:59for a car

00:31:00to hit the circuit

00:31:01but we have a green light

00:31:02at the end

00:31:03of the pit lane

00:31:04everyone

00:31:04waiting

00:31:06of the 16

00:31:07that can still compete

00:31:08in this session

00:31:09for a chance

00:31:09to use the track

00:31:11at its best

00:31:12it's just a feature

00:31:13of the tyres

00:31:14being good

00:31:15for one push lap

00:31:16DC

00:31:16not like we've seen

00:31:17in Montreal

00:31:18where you could do

00:31:19a push lap

00:31:21couple of cool down laps

00:31:22and go again

00:31:23this weekend

00:31:24due to the sweltering

00:31:25temperatures

00:31:25you've got one

00:31:28grippy

00:31:28Pirelli push lap

00:31:29to be able to use

00:31:31and then the tyre

00:31:31is well past its best

00:31:33yeah

00:31:33it's that

00:31:34chemical interaction

00:31:35that happens

00:31:36when rubber

00:31:37comes in contact

00:31:38with tarmac

00:31:39on this particular

00:31:40track

00:31:40with this particular

00:31:42track temperature

00:31:42which according

00:31:43to my screen here

00:31:44has just dropped

00:31:45a degree

00:31:46not any particular

00:31:48reason I guess

00:31:49other than it's

00:31:494.30 local

00:31:50time here in Barcelona

00:31:52so

00:31:53that

00:31:54you know

00:31:54one degree

00:31:55if that's accurate

00:31:56where that actual

00:31:57sensor is placed

00:31:59you can feel it

00:32:01you feel it

00:32:02if you go out

00:32:03under a cloud

00:32:03it just takes

00:32:05the heat out

00:32:06of the air

00:32:06and suddenly

00:32:07the car

00:32:08performs a little

00:32:09bit better

00:32:09the engine

00:32:10breathes a little

00:32:11bit better

00:32:11as we look out

00:32:13of our commentary

00:32:13box here

00:32:14I'm not seeing

00:32:14a lot of clouds

00:32:15unfortunately

00:32:16for anyone

00:32:17looking for that

00:32:18magic cloud

00:32:18but the slightly

00:32:20lower track

00:32:20temperature

00:32:21will be welcome

00:32:23they will take

00:32:24anything

00:32:25by way

00:32:25of a cooler

00:32:26temperature

00:32:27at the moment

00:32:27they've been

00:32:28battling it

00:32:28in practice

00:32:29McLaren still

00:32:31running

00:32:31the livery

00:32:31that celebrates

00:32:32a thousand

00:32:33races

00:32:33in Formula 1

00:32:35and there's

00:32:36the winner

00:32:36of the Grand Prix

00:32:37one year ago

00:32:38Oscar Piastri

00:32:39who had struggled

00:32:41around this circuit

00:32:41in his first two

00:32:42years of Formula 1

00:32:43found a real

00:32:44balance with that

00:32:45superb car

00:32:47that carried

00:32:48them to

00:32:48so many wins

00:32:50seven wins

00:32:51Philando Norris

00:32:51on his way

00:32:52to the title

00:32:52seven wins

00:32:53for Oscar Piastri

00:32:54and he will

00:32:55attempt to mix

00:32:56it at the front

00:32:57once again

00:32:58in what has been

00:32:59in the qualifying

00:33:01head-to-head

00:33:024-2 to Oscar

00:33:04Piastri so far

00:33:05this year

00:33:05in the Grand Prix

00:33:06format

00:33:06he heads out

00:33:07to the fast lane

00:33:09and begins

00:33:09the process

00:33:11of queuing

00:33:13as they take

00:33:14this prototype

00:33:15technology to

00:33:16the racetrack

00:33:16and then park

00:33:17it up immediately

00:33:18but everyone's

00:33:19gapping

00:33:19as per

00:33:20the regulations

00:33:22Max Verstappen

00:33:23trundling out there

00:33:24he's reported

00:33:25understeer

00:33:25he's reported

00:33:26oversteer

00:33:27he's had a lack

00:33:28of balance

00:33:28and at one point

00:33:31he reported

00:33:32after practice

00:33:33yesterday DC

00:33:34that the problem

00:33:34was the high speed

00:33:36the medium speed

00:33:37and the low speed

00:33:38so not much

00:33:39to fix for Red Bull

00:33:40overnight

00:33:40well at least

00:33:42he wasn't complaining

00:33:42about the straights

00:33:44and as we've

00:33:45discovered

00:33:46through the

00:33:47rumor mill

00:33:48Red Bull

00:33:50powertrains

00:33:50apparently have

00:33:52the most powerful

00:33:53ice engine

00:33:54internal combustion engine

00:33:55which is

00:33:56pretty impressive

00:33:57for a complete

00:33:58start-up

00:33:59of a company

00:34:00it's not a

00:34:01rebranding exercise

00:34:02they didn't buy

00:34:03another engine

00:34:04manufacturer

00:34:05and call it

00:34:06Red Bull

00:34:06powertrains

00:34:07they actually

00:34:07Greenfield

00:34:09say

00:34:09built a factory

00:34:10and I think

00:34:11there'll be

00:34:12a lot of pride

00:34:12in that

00:34:14just an update

00:34:15in temperature

00:34:15I think that sensor

00:34:17they must have

00:34:17had someone

00:34:17standing in front

00:34:18of it

00:34:19because it

00:34:19dropped to 49

00:34:20it's now back

00:34:21up in mid 50s

00:34:23so maybe

00:34:24there was

00:34:25maybe whatever

00:34:25that sensor

00:34:26that gives us

00:34:26this information

00:34:28momentarily

00:34:28there was

00:34:29someone blocking

00:34:30the sun

00:34:31from the track

00:34:32so the optimism

00:34:34I was trying

00:34:35to share

00:34:36with the drivers

00:34:36has suddenly

00:34:37just drifted away

00:34:38back to sweltering

00:34:39once again

00:34:40Pierre Gasly

00:34:41does not have

00:34:42a Mercedes

00:34:42on the apex

00:34:43as he attacks

00:34:44turn 1

00:34:44you get an idea

00:34:45of the flow

00:34:45of this corner

00:34:46and it wasn't

00:34:47compliant

00:34:48through turn 2

00:34:48DC

00:34:50now got out of

00:34:51position

00:34:51which then just

00:34:52makes turn 3

00:34:53a long

00:34:54high speed

00:34:55turn

00:34:56where you need

00:34:56everything balanced

00:34:58as you enter

00:34:58and accelerate

00:34:59into that turn

00:35:00and take the

00:35:02lateral load

00:35:03on board

00:35:03first on the

00:35:04front tyre

00:35:04of course

00:35:05then on to

00:35:05the rear tyre

00:35:06once you get

00:35:07into the middle

00:35:07of the lap

00:35:08here

00:35:09as he's

00:35:09coming out

00:35:10and dropping

00:35:11down towards

00:35:11turn 7

00:35:12you've got an

00:35:12idea of what

00:35:13the car balance

00:35:14is

00:35:14you know

00:35:15whether you've

00:35:16got understeer

00:35:16you know

00:35:16whether you've

00:35:17got oversteer

00:35:17you're now

00:35:19as you approach

00:35:209

00:35:20you just hear

00:35:21that small lift

00:35:22through the apex

00:35:23and a little

00:35:24correction

00:35:24was that a

00:35:25downshift

00:35:27or was it

00:35:28you know

00:35:28it must be

00:35:28another

00:35:30recharge

00:35:31adjustment

00:35:31they've got

00:35:32various paddles

00:35:33on the back

00:35:34of the steering

00:35:34wheel

00:35:35bit of traffic

00:35:36ahead

00:35:36well offline

00:35:37but it still

00:35:37catches your eye

00:35:38and distracts

00:35:39you

00:35:39and then

00:35:41you just

00:35:41got those

00:35:41final two

00:35:42fast fast

00:35:43corners

00:35:44tyre temperatures

00:35:45streaming enough

00:35:46as you get

00:35:47to this stage

00:35:47but you've got

00:35:48plenty of downforce

00:35:49to push the car

00:35:50into the track

00:35:51as he comes

00:35:52across the line

00:35:52with a

00:35:53117.6

00:35:54and the car

00:35:55loose

00:35:56multiple corners

00:35:57of the lap

00:35:57for a driver

00:35:58who in his

00:35:59eight starts

00:36:00around this circuit

00:36:01has made it

00:36:01into the top

00:36:02ten for qualifying

00:36:03on five

00:36:04occasions

00:36:05but that was

00:36:05a loose lap

00:36:06and Colopinto

00:36:06shows that

00:36:08there is a

00:36:08better one

00:36:08out there

00:36:09for Alpine

00:36:09he is ahead

00:36:10by a couple

00:36:11of tenths

00:36:11of a second

00:36:12and Hülkenberg

00:36:13picking up

00:36:13where he left

00:36:14off last year

00:36:15where he was

00:36:15inside the top

00:36:16ten

00:36:16with a strong

00:36:17run

00:36:17there was a

00:36:18bit of timing

00:36:19with the safety

00:36:19car in there

00:36:20as well

00:36:20but he's got

00:36:21good form

00:36:21never higher

00:36:22than seventh

00:36:23on the grid

00:36:23around this

00:36:24circuit

00:36:25Hülkenberg

00:36:25but he's

00:36:25looking confident

00:36:26at the moment

00:36:28ahead of both

00:36:28Alpins

00:36:29who he can

00:36:30try and beat

00:36:30to take his

00:36:31place in the

00:36:32top ten

00:36:33shootout

00:36:33Linblad will

00:36:34believe he can

00:36:34get there again

00:36:35that is a

00:36:36very good lap

00:36:36time for the

00:36:37racing bulls

00:36:38driver

00:36:38Verstappen

00:36:39Linblad

00:36:39Hülkenberg

00:36:40and Hülkenberg's

00:36:42time has been

00:36:42deleted

00:36:42goodbye to the

00:36:43Audi on the

00:36:44left-hand side

00:36:44so it is

00:36:45Verstappen

00:36:46Linblad

00:36:46Lawson

00:36:47Colopinto

00:36:47Gasly

00:36:49and signs

00:36:50at the

00:36:50moment

00:36:51as Hajar

00:36:51slots in

00:36:52to second

00:36:53the top

00:36:54four

00:36:54have used

00:36:55new tires

00:36:56old tires

00:36:57for Colopinto

00:36:58Gasly

00:36:58and Carlos

00:36:59signs

00:37:00as Charles

00:37:00Leclerc goes

00:37:01fastest of

00:37:02anyone so far

00:37:03on run one

00:37:04in Q2

00:37:05and our

00:37:05championship

00:37:06leader

00:37:06has a mighty

00:37:07middle sector

00:37:08that is really

00:37:09important for a

00:37:10benchmark for later

00:37:11on because

00:37:11all of the

00:37:12damage that

00:37:13Russell was

00:37:14doing to the

00:37:14Ferraris and

00:37:15the McLarens was

00:37:16being done

00:37:16in the middle

00:37:17part of the

00:37:18lap

00:37:19that's heading

00:37:19which begins

00:37:20heading into

00:37:21turn four

00:37:21and ends

00:37:22just before

00:37:23turn ten

00:37:23this is

00:37:24turn 14

00:37:25and George

00:37:26Russell's first

00:37:27effort

00:37:27he's just

00:37:27looking to get

00:37:28it into

00:37:28the top ten

00:37:29and he continues

00:37:30his strong

00:37:31form around

00:37:32the circuit

00:37:32but the margins

00:37:33have closed

00:37:34top three

00:37:35separated by

00:37:36six hundredths

00:37:37of a second

00:37:37Hamilton

00:37:38nearly a couple

00:37:39of tenths back

00:37:40let's see where

00:37:41the McLarens go

00:37:42starting with

00:37:43the Australian

00:37:44driver Oscar

00:37:45Piastri

00:37:45who's a long

00:37:47way off there

00:37:47there's no

00:37:48prep lapse

00:37:48so that's got

00:37:49a mistake in

00:37:50it or he's

00:37:50been impeded

00:37:51somewhere

00:37:51not ideal

00:37:52for the

00:37:53McLaren man

00:37:54let's go to

00:37:54Lando Norris

00:37:55the reigning

00:37:55world champion

00:37:56bit of a

00:37:57fight of the

00:37:58car through

00:37:59the 14th

00:37:59and final

00:38:00turn

00:38:00and he fades

00:38:01down to

00:38:02eighth

00:38:02McLaren

00:38:03looked really

00:38:03good yesterday

00:38:04that does not

00:38:05appear to be

00:38:05replicated

00:38:06tight at the

00:38:07front

00:38:07but it's

00:38:08Mercedes

00:38:08currently

00:38:09fighting

00:38:09Charles

00:38:10Leclerc's

00:38:10much updated

00:38:11Ferrari

00:38:12on run

00:38:13and one

00:38:13of Q2

00:38:14we're saying

00:38:14that there

00:38:15is differences

00:38:16in the tyres

00:38:17being run

00:38:18at this stage

00:38:18it was an

00:38:19old set

00:38:20for McLaren

00:38:21Lando Norris

00:38:22is on an

00:38:22old set

00:38:22of soft tyres

00:38:23Oscar Piastri

00:38:24on an

00:38:24old set

00:38:25of soft tyres

00:38:26and we've

00:38:26been telling

00:38:26you all

00:38:27weekend

00:38:27that it's

00:38:28one push

00:38:29lap

00:38:29and then

00:38:29the tyre

00:38:30grip fades

00:38:30away

00:38:31the McLaren

00:38:32lap time

00:38:32shows you

00:38:32just how

00:38:33much

00:38:34yeah

00:38:35that's

00:38:35clearly

00:38:36they've

00:38:36made

00:38:36an adjustment

00:38:38either

00:38:38on aero

00:38:39maybe a

00:38:40little bit

00:38:40of pressure

00:38:41a little bit

00:38:41on control

00:38:42systems

00:38:42and they

00:38:42wanted to

00:38:43go out

00:38:43and get

00:38:44a feel

00:38:44for where

00:38:45the racetrack

00:38:45is before

00:38:46putting on

00:38:46the new tyres

00:38:47what's really

00:38:48interesting is

00:38:49Russell who

00:38:49is currently

00:38:50the fastest

00:38:51by the

00:38:51tiniest of

00:38:52margins

00:38:52wasn't actually

00:38:53quickest in

00:38:54any of the

00:38:54sectors

00:38:54we've got a

00:38:55Red Bull

00:38:55in the first

00:38:56sector

00:38:56fastest

00:38:57we've got

00:38:57Mercedes in

00:38:58the middle

00:38:58and then a

00:38:59Ferrari

00:39:00in the final

00:39:01so I think

00:39:02he's showing

00:39:02you can

00:39:03let's say

00:39:04be a little

00:39:04bit under

00:39:05the tyre

00:39:06in those

00:39:07first two

00:39:07three corners

00:39:08to give

00:39:09yourself

00:39:09more

00:39:09performance

00:39:10at the

00:39:10end

00:39:11of the

00:39:11lap

00:39:11and if

00:39:12you go

00:39:12all in

00:39:12right at

00:39:13the beginning

00:39:13the final

00:39:15sector

00:39:16of the

00:39:16racetrack

00:39:17you might

00:39:17be struggling

00:39:18with that

00:39:19surface

00:39:19temperature

00:39:19and the

00:39:20performance

00:39:21so this

00:39:21is a

00:39:22compromise

00:39:22lap

00:39:23we're not

00:39:24seeing

00:39:24any one

00:39:25driver

00:39:25owning

00:39:25all the

00:39:26sectors

00:39:26of course

00:39:27as we

00:39:28get towards

00:39:28the final

00:39:29part of

00:39:30qualifying

00:39:31we'll

00:39:32see 100%

00:39:34of their

00:39:35efforts

00:39:35deployed

00:39:36but it's

00:39:37showing

00:39:37it is

00:39:37very tight

00:39:38there

00:39:38look at

00:39:39the time

00:39:40difference

00:39:40covering

00:39:41the top

00:39:42three

00:39:44what

00:39:45an exciting

00:39:47session

00:39:47this is

00:39:48looking like

00:39:48it's going

00:39:48to turn

00:39:48out to

00:39:49be

00:39:50Lando

00:39:51Norris

00:39:51has been

00:39:51talking

00:39:51of rear

00:39:52locking

00:39:52everywhere

00:39:53around

00:39:54this

00:39:54was

00:39:54turn

00:39:5410

00:39:59as he

00:40:00drops

00:40:00it

00:40:01down

00:40:01the

00:40:01gears

00:40:01you can

00:40:02see

00:40:02that

00:40:02drifting

00:40:03at

00:40:03lower

00:40:03speed

00:40:04there's

00:40:05no big

00:40:05kicks

00:40:06of

00:40:06oversteer

00:40:06but that

00:40:06doesn't

00:40:07mean

00:40:07that he's

00:40:07not

00:40:08on the

00:40:08edge

00:40:08of

00:40:09adhesion

00:40:12that was

01:01:05you're doing

01:01:05nose

01:01:06front wing

01:01:06that front

01:01:07left corner

01:01:08has gone

01:01:09as well

01:01:09they'll check

01:01:10the front

01:01:10right

01:01:11maybe

01:01:11precautionary

01:01:12change

01:01:12but nothing

01:01:13to worry

01:01:14about

01:01:14with the

01:01:15back of

01:01:15the car

01:01:15which is

01:01:16where you

01:01:16can end

01:01:17up having

01:01:17gearbox

01:01:17changes

01:01:19that's a

01:01:20lot more

01:01:20complex

01:01:21so if

01:01:22you are

01:01:22going to

01:01:22crash

01:01:23going in

01:01:24front

01:01:24is the

01:01:25best way

01:01:26to do

01:01:26it

01:01:26to minimise

01:01:27the repair

01:01:28bill

01:01:28which

01:01:29actually

01:01:29let's

01:01:30remind

01:01:30ourselves

01:01:31things like

01:01:33rebuilding

01:01:33extra front

01:01:34suspension

01:01:35and noses

01:01:36comes out

01:01:36of the

01:01:36budget cap

01:01:37so it

01:01:38has an

01:01:39effect

01:01:39on how

01:01:39the team

01:01:40can spend

01:01:41their allocation

01:01:42of development

01:01:42money

01:01:43and we'll

01:01:44find out

01:01:45whether there

01:01:45was a

01:01:46torque

01:01:46spike of

01:01:47acceleration

01:01:48that caught

01:01:48the driver

01:01:49out

01:01:49so obviously

01:01:50we don't

01:01:50have that

01:01:50information

01:01:51as we said

01:01:51in the

01:01:51commentary box

01:01:52right now

01:01:52if it was

01:01:53just pure

01:01:54let's say

01:01:55frustration

01:01:56because it

01:01:56was a clear

01:01:57slide of

01:01:58the rear

01:01:58he corrected

01:01:59for it

01:01:59he then

01:02:00committed

01:02:00again to

01:02:01the power

01:02:01and lost

01:02:02the rear end

01:02:03if it was

01:02:04just pure

01:02:05let's say

01:02:05driver

01:02:06kind of

01:02:07desperately

01:02:07trying to

01:02:08eke out

01:02:09the last

01:02:09part

01:02:09then that

01:02:10that is

01:02:11an unusual

01:02:12error for

01:02:13an experienced

01:02:13driver like

01:02:14Charles to

01:02:14make

01:02:14but as I

01:02:15say the

01:02:15waiver

01:02:16from the

01:02:17get out

01:02:18of trouble

01:02:18in the

01:02:19commentary

01:02:19boxes

01:02:20that we

01:02:20don't know

01:02:21whether as

01:02:22the electrical

01:02:23energy was

01:02:24deploying

01:02:24whether he

01:02:25got a spike

01:02:26more than he

01:02:27expected from

01:02:28his throttle

01:02:29application

01:02:29let's listen

01:02:31in on the

01:02:31exit for

01:02:32Charles

01:02:32Leclerc

01:02:39yeah well

01:02:39the telltale

01:02:40sound of

01:02:41increased

01:02:42rpm and

01:02:43opposite lock

01:02:44yeah that is

01:02:45just a very

01:02:46unusual incident

01:02:48for a driver

01:02:49of that experience

01:02:50so I'm going to

01:02:51go down the

01:02:51route of

01:02:52he got more

01:02:53deployment than

01:02:54he expected

01:02:55is it because I

01:02:56have a man crush

01:02:57on Charles or is

01:02:57it because it's

01:02:59possible that that

01:03:00happened

01:03:01he definitely

01:03:02heard the

01:03:03engine

01:03:05well we will

01:03:06we will find

01:03:07out when he

01:03:07gets back to

01:03:08the media pen

01:03:09and gives us

01:03:11the answer

01:03:12it's rare you

01:03:13leave me

01:03:14speechless DC

01:03:14but I think

01:03:15I think we

01:03:17finally reached

01:03:18it

01:03:18after all these

01:03:19years of working

01:03:20together

01:03:20the red flag is

01:03:21out for the

01:03:22moment but the

01:03:22clock is paused

01:03:23plenty of

01:03:25drivers who

01:03:26had the

01:03:27push laps

01:03:29in progress

01:03:31were interrupted

01:03:32by that red

01:03:33flag

01:03:33Norris lost

01:03:34out the most

01:03:35with the

01:03:35timing

01:03:35thanks to the

01:03:36marshals

01:03:36they've recovered

01:03:37that car

01:03:38and Charles

01:03:40Leclerc will

01:03:40play no further

01:03:41part of Q3

01:03:44championship

01:03:45leader still to

01:03:45get his time

01:03:47his time on

01:03:48the board

01:03:48seven time

01:03:51Lewis Hamilton

01:03:51yet to get

01:03:52his time

01:03:53on the board

01:03:54and we will

01:03:55see who can

01:03:56stack up to

01:03:56Oscar Piastri

01:03:57who found

01:03:59himself at

01:04:00the front

01:04:00here last

01:04:02year with

01:04:03pole position

01:04:03and is the

01:04:04contender to

01:04:05beat we've

01:04:07got the

01:04:07resumption

01:04:07time which

01:04:08allows everyone

01:04:09to make their

01:04:10way to the

01:04:11end of the

01:04:12pit lane

01:04:12it's going to

01:04:13be a while

01:04:13though still

01:04:14four minutes

01:04:15until we get

01:04:16going and

01:04:17that eight

01:04:18minutes and

01:04:1830 seconds

01:04:19will tick

01:04:19down

01:04:23okay let's

01:04:24hear from a

01:04:24driver who

01:04:43specific on

01:04:43that final

01:04:44run

01:04:46term one so

01:04:47went on power

01:04:48out the last

01:04:48corner and

01:04:50the engine

01:04:50didn't go so

01:04:51it was two

01:04:51seconds off down

01:04:52before T1 so

01:04:53yeah bit of a

01:04:54shame considering

01:04:55I think we were

01:04:56you know very

01:04:57much in the

01:04:58fight for Q3

01:04:59I mean I was

01:05:03what P6

01:05:06Q2 is pretty

01:05:06disappointing but

01:05:07regardless whatever

01:05:08the team have

01:05:08done a really

01:05:09good job to give

01:05:16looking ahead to

01:05:17the race tomorrow

01:05:18with that strong

01:05:19pace throughout the

01:05:20weekend up to this

01:05:20point in mind

01:05:21what do you think

01:05:22might be possible

01:05:22then yeah I mean

01:05:23for sure points are

01:05:24on the cards but

01:05:25you know I'm

01:05:26I'm annoyed not to

01:05:27have another Q3

01:05:32was on the card so

01:05:34fine yeah we'll

01:05:37hard luck

01:05:40Mike Seymour with

01:05:41the questions

01:05:42Arvid Lindblad with

01:05:43the answers and

01:05:44understandable when

01:05:45you've got rhythm

01:05:46and balance and

01:05:48confidence to not

01:05:49quite find the time

01:05:50when required

01:05:51P11 still gives

01:05:52him all the

01:05:54options for

01:05:54tomorrow and we

01:05:55are expecting a

01:05:57really varied race

01:05:59compared to the

01:06:00one stop fests that

01:06:01we've had of recent

01:06:02times it is looking

01:06:04like a two stop

01:06:05tomorrow it's looking

01:06:06like we could have

01:06:06real variation of

01:06:08which tyres are

01:06:09used the soft and

01:06:10the medium compounds

01:06:11according to Pirelli

01:06:11not separated by

01:06:12much at all

01:06:13two minute warning

01:06:14to restart the

01:06:16session as the

01:06:17remaining drivers

01:06:18minus Charles

01:06:19Leclerc will go

01:06:20out and attack the

01:06:22racetrack Kimi

01:06:23Antonelli looking for

01:06:24a fifth pole position

01:06:26in Formula One

01:06:27his fifth of the

01:06:28season George

01:06:29Russell looking for

01:06:29his third of the

01:06:31campaign and

01:06:33everyone else

01:06:33looking to beat

01:06:34Mercedes for the

01:06:35first time when it

01:06:37comes to Grand Prix

01:06:38qualifying in 2026

01:06:41it's interesting

01:06:42Arvid talking about

01:06:43deployment there so

01:06:44for any new viewers

01:06:46that we have then

01:06:47he's gone on the gas

01:06:48out of the final

01:06:49corner expected a

01:06:50certain amount of

01:06:51energy to come from

01:06:53the electrical system

01:06:54and it just didn't

01:06:55deploy it didn't give

01:06:56him that kick of

01:06:57performance and I

01:06:58think that as we

01:06:59still in the sort of

01:07:01immature phase of this

01:07:02new technology some

01:07:04were getting lack of

01:07:05deployment we saw

01:07:05that with Alex Albon

01:07:06for several of the

01:07:08laps in Monaco last

01:07:09weekend and then was

01:07:12Charles Leclerc caught

01:07:13out with a bit more

01:07:14deployment than he

01:07:16expected as he squeezed

01:07:18the throttle pedal

01:07:19towards full power we

01:07:21will find out in time

01:07:22that leaves one sole

01:07:23Ferrari to try and see

01:07:25if they can uphold the

01:07:27prancing horse honour

01:07:30okay mindset DC if

01:07:32you've just lost a lap

01:07:33like Lando Norris has

01:07:35are you just going

01:07:36all right nothing I

01:07:37can do outside of my

01:07:38control go again or is

01:07:40there a frustration

01:07:41that a lap that had

01:07:43strong sectors has

01:07:45fallen away I believe

01:07:48race drivers and I

01:07:49believe this is probably

01:07:51across all sports are

01:07:52masters at resetting

01:07:54it's done it's in the

01:07:55past it does not

01:07:56influence what he's

01:07:58about to go and do

01:08:00therefore it's gone

01:08:01he's not in his mind

01:08:02anymore he's got to

01:08:03set of tires the track's

01:08:05going to be live and

01:08:05within the next few

01:08:06seconds and he's got

01:08:07an opportunity to go

01:08:08out and do what these

01:08:10guys are brilliant at

01:08:11which is find a lap

01:08:13when it really counts

01:08:16okay green lights at the

01:08:17end of the pit lane a

01:08:20defining few moments for

01:08:21George Russell and the

01:08:24new tires remaining is a

01:08:27key graphic because you

01:08:28need a new set of softs

01:08:29if you're going to contend

01:08:30for the major rows the top

01:08:32two rows on the grid only

01:08:34two times on the board it's

01:08:37Piastri and Verstappen at

01:08:39the moment we've yet to see

01:08:41the Mercedes pair try and

01:08:44add to their collection of

01:08:45pole positions it's only

01:08:46been Mercedes on Grand Prix

01:08:47pole and they've only been

01:08:48beaten once to a major event

01:08:51this year that was Lando

01:08:52Norris in Miami in the sprint

01:08:54race you can see he's got

01:08:55one new set of soft tires

01:08:57despite the time remaining

01:08:59on the clock on the left

01:09:01hand side there and he is a

01:09:04six-time winner in the Grand

01:09:05Prix format around this

01:09:07circuit Kimi Antonoli has

01:09:09been told that his opening

01:09:10sector was very very strong

01:09:12they were happy with that

01:09:14Pete Bonington on the radio to

01:09:16the championship leader saying

01:09:18same again please and they're

01:09:22also going to give him a target

01:09:23temperature to hit and just

01:09:25shows you that they're still

01:09:26having to generate all of the

01:09:28heat required to make sure

01:09:29that rubber works effectively

01:09:31but having to keep it down

01:09:33without spiking and losing the

01:09:34grip that would result even by

01:09:36the end of a 2.8 mile lap

01:09:41yeah everyone's got plenty of

01:09:43space to get themselves prepped

01:09:45Antonelli is going to be the

01:09:46first to launch it out over the

01:09:48line nothing but fresh air

01:09:51between him and turn one nice

01:09:55flowing say medium speed

01:09:57corner where it's all about

01:09:59positioning the car nicely for

01:10:02two and then trying to squeeze

01:10:05it to full power as you go

01:10:07through the high speed turn

01:10:08three he's a very smooth race

01:10:14driver it's quite difficult to

01:10:16define his driving style because

01:10:19we've just seen him sort of

01:10:20glide towards these victories

01:10:22we've not seen it really be

01:10:24messy it doesn't make a lot of

01:10:25mistakes

01:10:27in time we'll have a much

01:10:29better picture of just you know

01:10:31what sort of driver he

01:10:32matures into

01:10:32and by that of course I don't

01:10:34mean speed wise he's proven

01:10:36that already

01:10:38at the moment through the first sector

01:10:40both Mercedes back on last year's

01:10:42pulse hitter Oscar Piastri but a

01:10:44reminder for you it's the middle

01:10:46sector where Russell has been so

01:10:48effective this weekend that is the

01:10:51part of the racetrack he is in right

01:10:53now Antonelli further on in the final

01:10:56corners of this configuration trying to

01:10:59give himself a chance of provisional

01:11:01pole five minutes to go we've got four

01:11:05cars out on the circuit at the moment

01:11:06Antonelli can only go third look at

01:11:09that middle sector Russell repeats what

01:11:11we've seen all weekend long that DC is

01:11:14where he has been devastating compared to

01:11:16the rest of the field yeah and he's

01:11:18fighting it though as he goes through the

01:11:20final hairpin at 12 one more corner to

01:11:23go and that mighty middle sector might

01:11:26have taken a bit much out of the tires as

01:11:28he runs for the line George Russell to

01:11:30a provisional pole by three hundredths of a

01:11:33second it was a fine lap for Piastri

01:11:37Norris will wait until the track is at its

01:11:39best Charles Leclerc is in the wall his

01:11:41teammate Lewis Hamilton goes to sixth

01:11:43position Isaac Hadjar also putting a time

01:11:45on the board good enough for P5 at the

01:11:48moment Verstappen able to get close

01:11:50they will wait this a quirk of Leclerc

01:11:53finding the barrier and if you don't have

01:11:55a new set of tires it's not worth

01:11:57running so everyone else Piastri and

01:11:59Verstappen put their times on the board

01:12:01but Norris effectively completed the lap

01:12:04but didn't get to stand because of the

01:12:06timing of the red flag he's waiting so is

01:12:08Lawson so is Holkenberg they had to burn

01:12:10through more sets earlier on in

01:12:12qualifying to make it through and if it's

01:12:15not new rubber it's not worth running

01:12:16George Russell on a weekend of big

01:12:18pressure trying to respond to not

01:12:20scoring in the last two Grand Prix

01:12:23to potentially staring at the gap in the

01:12:26world championship coming down to 11 points

01:12:28if he won in Canada suddenly finding

01:12:29himself a couple of rounds later down to

01:12:32third in the standings but he's up to

01:12:35first on provisional pole with everyone's

01:12:37final effort on the new Pirellis to come

01:12:40but the margin being three hundredths of a

01:12:42second is something to remark upon DC

01:12:45McLaren if you give them medium and high

01:12:48speed corners seem to have a real

01:12:50strength with this year's car

01:12:51yeah that's super impressive the

01:12:54difference between the two and they've

01:12:57got to say Verstappen just under two

01:12:59tenths is within the Verstappen factor

01:13:03margin of being able to try and get in

01:13:06amongst the two of them feels like a pull

01:13:12well you can never say no with Verstappen

01:13:14but it just feels like that might be a

01:13:16step too far but the overall performance

01:13:19of Red Bull given the sort of variability

01:13:22of the beginning of this year I think

01:13:24he'll be quite infused by the upgrades

01:13:28putting him into shouting distance in the

01:13:30front row but as we predicted it feels

01:13:33that this is a shootout between Mercedes

01:13:35and McLaren and Russell well he's done

01:13:38everything right so far this weekend

01:13:40everything can he do a little bit more

01:13:44right now and it is worth saying that

01:13:47George Russell on the radio said he was

01:13:49struggling for power and was immediately

01:13:52questioning whether his boost was working

01:13:55for the deployment of extra electrical

01:13:57energy so Russell potentially without a

01:14:01completely optimized lap was immediately

01:14:04on the radio to his race engineer

01:14:06Marcus Dudley Antonelli with a strange

01:14:09situation in front of him at the moment

01:14:11he's yet to be off the front row this

01:14:14season when it comes to Grand Prix

01:14:16qualifying

01:14:18yeah it's been an incredible start to his

01:14:20world championship campaign

01:14:22he's got a lot of racing knowledge around

01:14:25him his father of course is a racer

01:14:27he's been brought up through the Mercedes

01:14:30young driver program so like anyone

01:14:33who is in motor racing you lose more

01:14:36than you win it's a horrible statistic if

01:14:39you were a boxer but in our industry

01:14:41they're just you know the Lewis Hamilton

01:14:44your Schumachers the drivers who've

01:14:46dominated their eras of the sport

01:14:49around 30 percent or less of the races

01:14:51they've entered they win so he'll know

01:14:54even at the tender age of 19 that you're

01:14:56just not going to get it all your own way

01:14:59all the time but right now as he gets

01:15:02ready to launch his lap he'll be

01:15:05absolutely in the moment he'll be

01:15:07feeling what those tires have given him

01:15:09on the out lap and he gets ready to go

01:15:12and what is the ultimate display of

01:15:14driver performance a qualifying lap

01:15:17he was told to press the boost a little

01:15:19earlier chasing the optimum tire

01:15:21temperature Kimi Antonelli started six

01:15:23on the grid here last year he has an

01:15:26improvement in the first sector at the

01:15:28key moment of Q3 Antonelli is up on his

01:15:32rival for the title's time in the first

01:15:34third of a lap

01:15:35we saw working the wheel hard off of the

01:15:39exit of turn one as he lined it up into

01:15:41two sort of rare correction if you like

01:15:45and an otherwise very clean and smooth

01:15:48race driver

01:15:51Antonelli heading to turn 10 this is crucial

01:15:54he's found that second sector improvement

01:15:57that Russell has made a hallmark of his

01:15:59weekend hustling the car it's animated

01:16:02it's underneath him and Antonelli is on for

01:16:05provisional pole if he can keep the speed

01:16:07through the final two corners but Russell is

01:16:09improving as well the two Mercedes going for

01:16:13pole position Kimi Antonelli looking to hit the

01:16:16front of the field again he's beaten his

01:16:19teammates original time by a tenth and a

01:16:21half and now the pressure swings to George

01:16:24Russell who is looking to return to pole

01:16:26position will it be his third of the season

01:16:29Russell strikes back and takes provisional

01:16:32pole away from his teammate no improvement

01:16:35sector one for Lando Norris middle sector

01:16:37and final sector get him ahead of his

01:16:39teammate get him to third Piastri is two

01:16:43tenths of a second away and DC that car is

01:16:46all over the road yeah he's having to fight

01:16:49it the tires are overheating as he got low

01:16:52downforce through that section Verstappen

01:16:54is quickest in the first sector a little

01:16:56bit down in the middle but this final part of

01:16:58the lap for Piastri looking a bit messy

01:17:01lines up behind his teammate Norris so it

01:17:03really comes down to Verstappen quickest in

01:17:06the first Hamilton quickest in the second

01:17:08let's see it falls away for Max Verstappen in

01:17:11that third and final sector middle part of the

01:17:14lap for Lewis Hamilton is very strong

01:17:16Hajar goes to fifth position behind his

01:17:19teammate Lewis Hamilton in the skull of

01:17:22Ferrari gets to the front row and misses out by

01:17:27six hundredths of a second where did that lap come from

01:17:32unbelievable it's Russell on pole position for the

01:17:37Spanish Grand Prix but a resurgent Lewis Hamilton misses out by six hundredths of a second his best lap of

01:17:46the weekend by a mile reserved for the end and for the first time this season Kimi Antonelli will not

01:17:54start a Grand Prix from the front row of the grid Hamilton and Russell will occupy it Ferrari came good

01:18:01at the end with the seven time champ

01:18:04they missed out on a first pole of the season by six hundredths of a second and George Russell takes

01:18:11pole

01:18:12that's it nice work mate

01:18:17nice to feel the groove again

01:18:23what a lap what a lap when everyone's questioning can he take the pressure can

01:18:30can he deliver wow and he shares the front row

01:18:33with his former teammate Hamilton who has delivered some brilliant performance once again

01:18:39Lewis Hamilton back on the front row and that will give him a huge amount of cheer it is Lewis

01:18:44Hamilton's best qualifying result of the season so far

01:18:49but for George Russell

01:18:52so many saying it's make or break and he delivered under the high pressure of Q3

01:18:59Antonelli took it away his old teammate pushed him close but he responded to both

01:19:05and the Mercedes man will start the Spanish Grand Prix from the front with his third pole of the season

01:19:13pole in Melbourne pole in Montreal

01:19:15the town that we actually race in just outside of Barcelona

01:19:23but where did Lewis Hamilton come from I know when he's been on the front row

01:19:28so many times in his career make that 176 to be exact you shouldn't be surprised but the Ferrari

01:19:35driver coming good and

01:19:38said in turn one it got away from him turn one is where he believed

01:19:44it fell apart but not by much he's on the front row and Antonelli is demoted to third for the

01:19:50first time this season

01:19:51Norris was fourth Verstappen was in fifth and then it was Hajar in sixth place

01:19:57Piastri in seventh

01:19:59fading from a provisional pole after the first run

01:20:02and then it was Lawson Hülkenberg and Charles Leclerc found the barrier but Lewis Hamilton at the end

01:20:07delivering a lap to defy expectations and he was seven hundredths of a second from ending his Grand Prix

01:20:14drought for pole that stretches all the way back to 2023 in Budapest

01:20:25howerton talking to George Russell and saying how tight it was

01:20:30it was that second sector he managed to find a mighty time there Antonelli found an improvement

01:20:43well we thought for all the world it was going to be Mercedes versus McLaren

01:20:49step forward Lewis Hamilton

01:20:53George Russell has taken pole and it is a strong performance for the British driver he has taken pole

01:21:00for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix

01:21:05Lewis Hamilton joining him on the front row and Kimi Antonelli finding himself in third place next to

01:21:13the world champion Lando Norris Max Verstappen in fifth ahead of Isaac Hajar and then it's Piastri

01:21:20Lawson Hülkenberg and Charles Leclerc hit the barriers

01:21:24in a moment we will hear from our top three

01:21:27in Park Fermi get their thoughts

01:21:30but that was an expectation defying final lap from Lewis Hamilton Naomi Schiff is speaking to our top

01:21:37three qualifiers down in Park Fermi

01:21:42George a big congratulations this pole position for you out here in Barcelona momentum hasn't been on

01:21:48your side lately but you've come back to the European season and you're coming swinging so how does it feel

01:21:53it's been a great weekend so far i kind of feel like my old self again where

01:21:57sort of every lap i'm doing the job always fighting those

01:22:00top positions obviously the last few races for numerous reasons haven't quite been on our side but

01:22:06i came in this weekend with just a clean slate felt good and yeah just great to be on pole

01:22:11it's obviously a very different track here it's a traditional circuit we've also got a step softer

01:22:16on the tires this year tell us how was your experience during qualifying there in the car

01:22:20yeah i think it's going to be an interesting race tomorrow you know Lewis did an amazing job

01:22:24to to get up there i think that was a real surprise um we thought the fight was with

01:22:29ourselves and mclaren and then you know Lewis uh has been really quick all this session so

01:22:33i'm sure there's going to be a fight on our hands obviously Kimi's been doing an amazing job so

01:22:38tomorrow is not going to be easy from every standpoint but i feel feeling ready

01:22:42Kimi just coming over to you congratulations this p3 here this is actually the first time this

01:22:47season you've qualified not on the front row so that just goes to show how well your season's gone so

01:22:51far but tell us how it was in the car for you out there yeah it's been a little bit

01:22:56of a difficult

01:22:56weekend so far uh for me didn't really have the feeling with the car uh but uh yeah long run

01:23:03was

01:23:03strong yesterday so definitely we can uh you know that that's a positive but today i've been lacking a

01:23:10little bit uh but looking forward to tomorrow it's a long hard race tomorrow as i was just saying to

01:23:15george but also one of the longest runs to turn one so do you think being in third might be

01:23:19of an

01:23:19advantage to tuck up behind the others and get a bit of a slipstream yeah i mean we'll try to

01:23:23get

01:23:23a good start and then for sure we'll try to make the best use of the toe uh also without

01:23:28using we we

01:23:29won't use any osm so definitely the the slipstream is going to be even stronger so yeah uh now obviously

01:23:37a

01:23:37lot of work to do in order to be ready for tomorrow fantastic lewis coming over to you congratulations

01:23:42it's p2 for you so front row starts which just goes to continue another great run of form so tell

01:23:48us

01:23:48about how this weekend has gone so far for you and how it was out there for you in the

01:23:50car

01:23:51are you speaking south african to me i mean uh english with a south african accent i can't hear

01:23:56no i can't hear anything it's so hard to hear i'd love to come over but i think the cameras

01:24:00are

01:24:00going to have to follow me we've got a great crowd here by the way always the weather's incredible out

01:24:05here in in barcelona so gracias um it feels great to be up here with them honestly this weekend has

01:24:11been so difficult uh missing p1 was normally it's okay to miss p1 but it had a huge offset so

01:24:19every

01:24:19time so we went to p2 i was a second just over a second off and then um we just

01:24:25didn't feel quite

01:24:26comfortable and up to it and these tires only last one lap right so you only have two shots at

01:24:30it in each

01:24:30session and even if you do a cool down lap and go again the car balance is completely off so

01:24:36it's

01:24:36not a good reference so then i went to p3 and again i was easily four tenths five tenths off

01:24:42and i was

01:24:42thinking jesus where i'm going to get that pace and i went and left the track between qualifying and

01:24:48between p3 and qualifying where did you go i went back to my motorhome okay came back and then q1

01:24:54i was

01:24:54first and so i knew that i had good a good balance and good i was really comfortable in that

01:24:59first um

01:24:59that first session q2 was a little bit harder with traffic and everything and then all right you

01:25:05know these guys did a great lap uh naturally um congrats to to george but we're in a good position

01:25:11to be able to fight for tomorrow so we have a race well even though it hasn't been a very

01:25:14straightforward

01:25:15weekend as you've just pointed out for you you're in the front row your p2 and this is a track

01:25:19that we

01:25:20often say is sort of shows us exactly what the pecking order is a traditional circuit and we get a

01:25:25great

01:25:25balance of what the teams have would you say even though we've seen you up here quite a few times

01:25:29lately that this is the true position of where ferrari is at ready to take on mercedes every

01:25:34time well again i think all weekend we've been kind of like four tenths off these guys and so

01:25:38we really even with the upgrade we thought that maybe that's where we were so but for us to be

01:25:43that

01:25:43close less than a tenth between us shows just it's a real showing of the hard work everyone at the

01:25:48factory's done to bring these upgrades to this track and uh so big big big thank you to everyone

01:25:53back in marinello and uh yeah we just got to keep pushing keep keep pushing keep developing

01:25:59and um i'm hoping tomorrow we can squeeze some more out of this and hopefully keep up with these

01:26:03guys for once okay well that's all we have time for thank you so much gentlemen well done and a

01:26:07great race ahead of us tomorrow thank you thank you to naomi shift speaking to george russell lewis

01:26:14hamilton and kimmy antonelli it is george russell on pole in catalonia for the barcelona catalonia grand

01:26:20prix and he's got his old teammate his new teammate and a pole position trophy coming his way

01:26:28interesting to hear his comments about being back in the groove when he was on the radio how does it

01:26:37feel

01:26:37it was a time where toto wolf wouldn't go on the radio lewis hamilton's pole app in singapore 2018

01:26:44changed all that and now he's asking his drivers how he feels almost turned into a broadcaster we

01:26:49appreciate it all the same he got the answer out of his lead driver nice conversation between these two

01:26:57hamilton motivated fascinating that he went for the reset

01:27:00and the great sir chris hoy presenting the pole position trophy six-time olympic gold medalist

01:27:10and keen racing driver himself

01:27:20fine person to present the trophy to george russell lovely moment and russell needed that one it's his

01:27:2610th career pole and it gives him a foundation to fight for a grand prix victory that would mean so

01:27:32much acknowledging the crowd and toto wolf asking how it felt on the radio there's a long way back in

01:27:40the championship all george russell can do is focus on winning grand prix he's given himself a brilliant

01:27:46chance with that pole position and he's third of the campaign

01:27:56well a session that defied expectations with hamilton's late lap there as he said in his post

01:28:02interview there were four tenths of a second off all weekend his teammate found the barrier he found

01:28:07the front row george russell is on pole though here in barcelona hamilton will start eight meters further

01:28:13back then it's kimmy antonelli in third lando norris in fourth and max verstappen in fifth place on the

01:28:19grid ahead of his teammate isaac hadja piastri in seventh ahead of lawson and then it is hulkenberg

01:28:26in ninth place because charlotte claire finds himself in the wall at turn four

01:28:32arvid linblad was in 11th disappointed to miss out on q3 he was ahead of gabriel bordleto

01:28:38then it was colopinto gasly behrman and signs ocon was ahead of alban and then it was perez and botas

01:28:49and it might be the back row of the grid but lance stroll has finally out qualified fernando

01:28:56alonso and doesn't have to hear that stats about it being the other way around for the last 42 grand

01:29:01prie my thanks to the whole team for a session that upended expectations charlotte claire found

01:29:09the barriers lewis hamilton found the front row and for the first time this season kimmy antonelli

01:29:15is not on the front row of the grid for a grand prie george russell's the driver to beat he

01:29:20goes from pole

01:29:23as it seems to be tomorrow goodbye
