00:00The Ferraris are the ones with form Crofty on they're coming into this weekend
00:04Two wins back-to-back in Austin and Mexico Carlos took two laps good enough for pole in in the last time
00:11We were in a qualifying in Mexico as well and we'll see on the first run
00:15He's a long way off six tenths to his teammates Charlotte Sergio Perez
00:20It was 19th fastest only in the first practice session
00:24The only practice session who has a type of a 111 one on the board and Alex now
00:27But has just gone a little better than that
00:30But Russell going well in the middle sector and now we're into the 110s told you it was gonna wrap up frankly
00:36They've only got one set of tires to use so there's not a lot that the teams can do to help the drivers out there
00:41Russell complaining about the brakes, but it was still good enough to be about a 10th ahead of Lewis Hamilton
00:47There's go by the way qualifying this year Russell to Hamilton 18 6 including the sprint
00:53So yeah, Russell comprehensively in front 15 minutes
00:56It's the vision that gets a bit blurred as well for the drivers picking out your braking points
01:01And where the car needs to be becomes increasingly difficult as Oscar Piastri crosses the line three tenths between himself and Liam Lawson
01:08That's a strong lava
01:09Oliver man's first taste of sprint in Formula one but he's won two sprint races in f2 the junior series
01:15Max Verstappen about to go quickest, but didn't his final sector was a few tenths off the pace
01:22Only fourth fastest in that Red Bull and that's the situation with the clouds. The after his benchmark is very strong, isn't it?
01:29We're seeing now drivers trying multiple laps to try and catch him, but it's not really happening
01:35So let's see sign 35 a he's a 10th up on Leclerc's time
01:39So science could well end up on the front row
01:42And if he had a very good final sector may even get ahead of Piastri. Well, let's have a look
01:47He was a team fastest
01:48He's now for fastest Sergio Perez fastest in the middle sector Max Verstappen his teammate has gone second fastest Hamilton only a fastest
01:56But that should be good enough in his last sector as you were saying
02:00Caroon not very impressive Sergio Perez goes second fastest overall
02:05Alonso to the line now to try and get out of the bottom five does and that moves ahead of Alex Albon and into 11th place
02:12Olli Behrmann is improving, but is he improving enough?
02:15He's making his way now behind Lance Stroll towards the finish line stroll is very much a risk of being knocked out here
02:22He's only 15th fastest as Norris goes quickest in the first sector and Behrmann goes fifth fastest overall
02:28That is a super lap from the young 19 year old Gasly lifts himself out of trouble and is 11th puts Lance Stroll out
02:35Of qualifying Joe Guan Yu is also out his teammate Valtteri Bottas
02:40Currently on a lap as we now look to Esteban Ocon who only goes 15th fastest
02:44But that pushes Yuki Tsunoda down into the bottom five and while we're looking at the relegation zone Bottas lifts himself out
02:51Lando Norris the man who was fastest in the practice session
02:54Looks like he's gonna end this first bit of qualifying fastest and does by nearly eight tenths of a second Franco Colopinso top ten
03:01Last time around his teammate Alex Albon has gone third fastest. Can he get himself out of sq1?
03:07Yes
03:07He does ninth fastest and that then pushes the most
03:11Experienced driver on the grid down into the bottom five and Aston Martin looked impressive in fb1
03:17But they've got a double knockout in this first part of the qualifying for the sprint
03:22Alonso 16 stroll 19 they join up on Tsunoda and Joe as Norris makes his way towards the line
03:29He had a 109 for as the fastest time in sq1 and wow
03:33Yes, it's time of a 1090 is round about half a second faster
03:40The Claire third fastest behind George Russell Lewis Hamilton still taking his time to warm up those tires as Carlos Sainz
03:48Goes second fastest ahead of the Mercedes
03:52Notice is on a different planet for enough now
03:54That's a good what the asterick can do because that's a like-for-like comparison. He's only 30 years
03:58You don't get points for qualifying
04:00But a second sprint pole of the season for Lando Norris would go down very nicely with him
04:06I'm sure as Hamilton goes seven fastest three tenths nearly in the middle sector of the lap after being quicker than
04:13Lando in the first sector Perez meanwhile nearly seven tenths down
04:17So the snap in will probably end up ahead of science if he gets a decent final sector
04:23And he does end up there, but Perez coffee
04:26He's gonna end up sort of casually Hamilton territory. Well, let's have a look
04:30You're absolutely right and he was three tenths up on his teammate Nick a Hulkenberg through that middle sector
04:35Sergio Perez in the top ten Hulkenberg in the top ten
04:39He's ninth fastest but under pressure as Ollie Berman goes fifth fastest and that pushes Sergio Perez out of the top ten
04:45It's not over for him yet, though. We're on board now with Liam Lawson
04:50Lawson is ahead of Sergio Perez check your flag is out
04:54I don't think Sergio Perez has got to the line. Lawson goes ninth fastest pushes Hulkenberg out Perez pits
05:01Because he wasn't going to get to the line in time
05:03And I don't know what happened there with the red ball, but he came out
05:06But he didn't come out in time to get to the line before the checkered flag
05:11box
05:14He's been out in sq2 as I said in Miami
05:18He's risking another exit now as Bottas crosses the line and his slowest of the 15
05:23Hamilton now only climbs up to 11th and he is out once again in sq2 as he was in Miami
05:30And he didn't look like he had the pace from the outset in this session sound now
05:34It's full throttle for 1.2 kilometers rising up some 30 meters to the finish line
05:41It's a 109 to pretty much on par with his best time in sq2 on the medium tire
05:47Lando Norris though about to go quicker crosses the line now and is into the 1 minute and 8 seconds
05:54108 9
05:56Phenomenal Lawson goes fifth fastest make that for fastest as Behrman's lap time as you can see has now
06:02Disappeared Carlos Sainz goes into the top three at four Ferrari
06:07So another one to challenge Lando Norris
06:09Didn't quite make it Charles Leclerc onto the front row with a very good final sector
06:14Gets to a couple of tenths away from the McLaren and this McLaren is going even faster than it had on the previous lap
06:22Oscar Piastri who had a couple of moments and he knew where he lost time is now trying to make a bid for
06:29Provisional pole for the sprint race here in South. How does it by three hundredths of a second Lando?
06:35Norris has abandoned his lap. He's boxed. He's coming to the pits Oscar Piastri zone provisional pole
06:41Unless Max Verstappen crofty has a sector of all sectors on a run of six consecutive poles for the sprint races
06:48Here's Max Verstappen to the line and it is only row two for Max Verstappen
06:53Not the qualifying he was looking for for fastest George Russell who won the sprint race here a couple of years ago
07:00Only six fastest in his Mercedes. It's a McLaren one two on the front row here
07:06And it was Lando Norris on provisional pole until his teammate Oscar Piastri
07:10Snatched it away from him the Aussie who hasn't got a pole in Grand Prix has done it in the sprint
07:17Well, he had two attempts
07:20You up he won good job, mate
07:22Whoo
07:24nice
07:35You
08:05You
