00:00This is oscar piastri early going to the end of the pit lane as the two has cars come out and get that was
00:07Very dangerous by the house
00:09copy
00:11I I would say martin based on the rules and regulations of how you queue up the pit lane
00:16They got there in the nick of time to get that front wing just over the white line max
00:21Verstappen starts his flying lap as lando norris ends his flying lap
00:251 58 8 on the board for lando norris, which is three seconds faster than they were this morning
00:30Um, so it suggests the track's in pretty good nick at this stage kevin
00:34Magnuson drops in behind lando norris oscar piastri in the middle sector was going faster than his teammate nicker holkenberg
00:41Goes quicker than lando norris who of course was the pole setter
00:44Last time out in hungary on board with piastri 1.3
00:47Seconds clear second on the grid here last two years in a row
00:50Verstappen's been fastest last three years in a row
00:52And he's quickest at the moment by nearly one and a half seconds
00:56We're on board with charles leclerc who will be crossing the line in a couple of moments to go third fastest overall
01:03And his teammates carlos sainz will be next to cross the line as magnuson goes seventh fastest sainz below magnuson
01:10Only ninth quickest and to the line alonso crosses it goes fourth fastest second off the pace
01:16Has he put enough distance though between himself and that bottom five his teammate lance stroll goes seventh fastest
01:23And he'll be asking the same question get it straight. He had to go underneath
01:27The salvo there, which is not helpful. But uh, as soon as you can get it straight, you'll get better traction
01:33P3 so far for george before the checkered flag comes out
01:37You can start your lap and they all did all those traffic, uh that were queuing up. Now. This is joe. Guan you
01:43Was he impeding max verstappen?
01:45Oh
01:49Verstappen was on a flying lap and he certainly thinks he was impeded there. The stewards will look at that after the
01:55Session holkenberg tries to lift himself off the bottom does so but only 11 fastest for nico holkenberg. Will that be enough?
02:03Next to cross the line will be fernando alonso. He goes seventh fastest just behind his old teammate esteban
02:09Bottas then makes it eighth fastest for him in the salvo good effort from valtteri bottas nice lap from him
02:15Sergio perez currently in the bottom five as lance stroll lifts himself out and goes 11th fastest
02:21This means a lot to sergio perez as magnuson only just out of the bottom five perez goes fourth fastest good lap
02:28Ricardo then under pressure in 17th. He needs this lap to be good at dizzy crosses the line
02:34He goes
02:35Hamilton is on a lap and has gone for his best for the first sector
02:40But hasn't had a particularly good middle sector, but I think as it all calms down
02:45They're going to be safe norris and hamilton
02:48And I don't see anyone improving behind or with the ability to improve that is the end of the first part of qualifying
02:56And for car number 22 yuki. Sonoda. It's a q1 exit recession. That didn't matter much to him
03:03Anyway, he's starting at the back of the field. We come on to the main straight with george russell
03:08So 154.7 is the time to beat for alex out, but he can't do that
03:12He is faster than gasly and slower than ocon slots into third place pieces
03:17Yeah in these conditions, but a little bit of rain just as norris now does find a cracker of a lap
03:23um
03:24A little bit of rain will take the concept of slicks away and it does look
03:28Damp down the pit straight, doesn't it?
03:30It certainly does uh, lando norris over a second faster than his best time in q1
03:35It was the same for alex albon hamilton goes fifth fastest and the stapper will cross the line to go fastest overall
03:42And does so by six tenths of a second rubber on the track and and also it's a compound that's designed to run
03:48in different temperatures in different conditions, so
03:51quite a bit different and
03:53Max was a bit trigger happy on the throttle, but he knew that was coming and had it well covered
03:58George russell trying to get himself out of the bottom five here. George russell was out q1, of course in hungary
04:05Only track he's ever been knocked out on in q1 as as a mercedes driver and that's better goes fourth fastest
04:12Hamilton will be next to cross the line
04:14You can see the spray coming from underneath those intermediate tires goes fifth fastest alonzo now at risk the
04:22Fringes of the top 10 charles leclerc pushes alonzo into the bottom five leclerc goes third fastest behind norris
04:29And verstappen are on board with leclerc's teammate carlos sainz pole sitter here in
04:352022 crosses the line fourth fastest for him and that pushes
04:40Sergio perez down in the 10th as oscar piastri comes into the bus stop chicane to end
04:46What?
04:47He hopes will be his final flying lap, but it might need another
04:51He goes second fastest final sector. Absolutely brilliant for oscar piastri there where aston martin currently find themselves
04:58This is oscar piastri into the gravel just dipping a tire there, but no harm done
05:03Yeah, we saw him do that in
05:05Budapest on his way to victory last week and he he seems to not mind that too much
05:10Lean on the gravel sergio. Perez. They're trying to get into q3
05:15And he goes fourth fastest six tenths off the pace on
05:18154
05:19Four lewis hamilton crosses the line goes from 12th to second fastest. So perez now down to seventh fastest
05:27Fastest in the middle sector charles leclerc alonzo goes fifth fastest
05:31This is not good news. If you're sergio perez albon goes ninth fastest leclerc and sites to come
05:39and
05:40Then we'll see what bottas can do who's done personal best first and second sectors leclerc goes fifth fastest
05:47So alex albon now is on the fringes of the drop zone
05:51For williams made that into the bottom five as science goes into the top four and valtteri bottas crosses the line
05:57He stays 14th sergio perez makes it into q3 by three one thousandths of a second
06:04Shortest run to the line
06:06And what are we into? We're into the 54 flat george rosser was the 10th down through the first two sectors ended up at two
06:13Tenths down to lewis hamilton when he crossed the line oscar piastri fastest middle sector. He was eight tenths clear
06:19Of esteban ocon who was fastest in the first part of the lap piastri crosses the line behind hamilton
06:26By just 16 one thousandths of a second ocon next to cross the line and he's about eight tenths down all lost
06:33In that middle sector next over the line lando norris
06:38And he moves on to the second ring charles leclerc crosses the line and he's behind carlos sainz
06:44Last three races in a row science has outqualified. Leclerc. Here's verstappen. He's been fastest all the way through qualifying
06:50And so this is sergio perez who goes quickest
06:53By about three tenths of a second from lewis hamilton
06:56I was watching verstappen out of the commentary box window going through the bus stop chicane and by six tenths of a second
07:02He puts his red bull
07:04Fastest in q3
07:06So far, that's a cracking effort from him. That's his best lap of the day
07:11That's really put him in contention up there and minimized the pain of his tires because verstappen hamilton piastri
07:18russell and norris all were out on their I believe one set of
07:24Verstappen's got two but the rest of them with one set piastri still playing deer with the gravel
07:30And that's that's cost him hasn't it? Yeah, that's cost him quite a bit of time
07:35I think that science crosses the line stays only seventh fastest didn't improve on his time
07:41So what could charles leclerc do?
07:42Can he put his ferrari somewhere near the front two rows?
07:45He can put his car on the front row currently and that could be pole position for charles leclerc
07:53Along with the one he inherited this time last year when this man had grid penalties for power unit elements
07:59Once again, absolutely perfect for charles leclerc as verstappen since the fastest final sector crosses the line
08:06He is clear by nearly six tenths of a second once again
08:11And for the third year in a row, he's going to be denied pole position here because he's taken
08:17Extra power unit elements and he's got a grid penalty to go along with it
08:22So verstappen gets that 10 places, but what's going to happen behind him perez nowhere in the middle sector. I suspect he might even pit
08:30Um with that a 53.4 and indeed he does so he starts second for the third year in a row
08:38Red bull congratulate themselves on a job
08:40Well done with verstappen the fastest and he never looked like being anything else from the moment
08:45The first green light went out to get this qualifying lap hour underway
08:50I should say but right at the end
08:52Charles leclerc pops up to inherit pole position for the second year running and what a decent lap that was
09:20So
09:50You
