00:00Oh, doesn't just apply to SkyPads, it applies to F1 cars as well.

00:05Here's Lewis Hamilton.

00:08Avoiding the wall, but sliding his way around the corner.

00:11Look at the dust that is coming up.

00:13It's like we're racing in Bahrain, the amount of dust that's coming up on the surface there.

00:18Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.

00:20So, where does he go in terms of next season?

00:24Or is he looking like he might have to spend a year on the sidelines?

00:27I think it depends how he performs in the next few races.

00:29I think two races, yes, have been very impressive, but it's such early days

00:33and we know how quickly things can change in Formula 1.

00:35So, I think there's a lot riding on performance.

00:37In his position, the one thing about Franco is he dances on the limit.

00:41We saw him back here, he put it in the wall in F1.

00:44On board with Verstappen, your championship leader, of course.

00:49And hoping for a better weekend than what he had last time here

00:54and also last time out in this car.

00:57Time sheets for now.

00:58Checking both mirrors there, left and right.

01:00So, here's his challenger.

01:02And out on the track, already going purple-purple for the first two sectors.

01:061.33.44 for Verstappen.

01:09Half a second quicker, Lando Norris.

01:11Speaking to Ross Brawn about this.

01:13We were talking about Michael Schumacher.

01:14He said, yes, he likes to go out in FP1.

01:16A bit like a dog marking its favourite lamppost.

01:19He likes to mark his territory.

01:22Stay away from the lamppost here, though.

01:24Well done, George.

01:25You've managed to do that.

01:26But I do think there's something in that, though.

01:29When you're in a title battle, as you have been,

01:31and you've come out on the right end of it, J.P.,

01:33you want to get on the track.

01:34There's the yellow flag as well, where there is a double wave yellow

01:37after, or there should have been, at least.

01:39And then, therefore, drivers approaching that corner

01:41should be slowing down and preparing to stop.

01:44Yeah, yeah.

01:45So, yes.

01:46Yeah, Sergio, you could argue, potentially, yeah, there's the yellow flag.

01:50So, it's a single yellow.

01:51So, he's rejoining.

01:53He thinks about finding a gap there.

01:55Oh, and the Stampen as well.

01:57That's down to turn 14, isn't it?

01:59It is.

02:00At the end of the Esplanade.

02:02But it is.

02:03Communication can be a real problem with the radio, Steve.

02:06I actually never knew that,

02:07but the teams and the drivers are so reliant on good radio comms.

02:11So, that really does add a different challenge to the mix, I guess.

02:15It's looking like it goes quickest by a pretty decent margin on the hard tyre.

02:19Yes.

02:20And the great and not a sir, David Hill.

02:26You could just see, couldn't you, before he even went for the brakes,

02:29he was leaving out very late.

02:32And I'm not surprised to see it go straight on,

02:34but it's lucky that the drivers have that bit of a get-out, isn't it,

02:37through the inside of that corner.

02:41It looks particularly challenging, that turn 16, in this session, to be honest,

02:44with the DRS, the added speed.

02:46If he's talking about his lap, it might not be a positive word.

02:50If he's talking about Yuki Tsunoda's or Landon Norris's,

02:53it might be a more positive word.

02:55Valtteri Bottas probably hasn't got many positive words to say about anything,

02:59because there's another lap where he gets blocked.

03:01Is this pre-eleration coming out?

03:03Blocked by the red block.

03:04Yeah, I don't know what he was doing there.

03:09For the brand new set of soft tyres on,

03:11he gets traffic straight away in the second corner.

03:13That's just...

03:14And that Sergio Perez coming out, that...

03:17Sorry, can't see that.

03:18That's the moment I was talking about before.

03:20Really kicks up the dust.

03:21Yeah, a bit of understeer creeps in.

03:23Gets on the kerb, and that's what caught out Stroll last year as well.

03:37Just to check, how do you push the pit button?

03:40Is that on purpose?

03:42Can't avoid a crash with this car, I push the buttons.

03:45All the ones I have.

04:04I got blocked by Alain.

04:13Together, after Singapore, that's where we are really.

04:17So, nothing decided so far.

04:20Lauren, I appreciate that.

04:21Thanks ever so much.

04:22And we'll speak to you under the lights in a little while.

04:25That's where they thought we'd get a bit close.

04:29No.

04:30No, it's not.

04:31It's much earlier in the lap.

04:33Down by the cricket ground.

04:34Wow, exit turn 10.

04:35What a strange place to do it.

04:37Basically, he just got on the dust.

04:38So, he's carried the speed that he would have done on the racing line

04:41drifted a bit wide onto the dust.

04:44And you have to be going slower by that point.

04:47I'm trying to reduce this traction, actually.

04:52You guys got to fix this, man.

04:53I'll be as soft as I can.

04:56Sure thing, Lewis.

04:57We'll have a conversation.

04:59So, what he's saying there, Anthony, Jimmy,

05:02that he's effectively putting the old egg, the unboiled egg,

05:06between foot and accelerator, and yet still getting loads of wheelspin.

05:11What we're about to see here with Perez as he goes over the bridge.

05:14He talked about the right front not being able to slow down,

05:16and yeah, absolutely, just grabbing a bit too much there.

05:19Just as he's finished turning right,

05:21and it's actually locked over the bump as he's turning right.

05:24Just at the end of the right-hander of turn 12,

05:27it's grabbed, and that's probably why he's commenting

05:30he's struggling to slow that front right down.

05:32It's working.

05:34It's locking up too much there.

05:38Ooh, big old snap for Joe,

05:40but it sounded like he didn't lose drive there as well.

05:44Didn't sound very healthy.

05:45Yeah, no porpoising.

05:47And the first classification of the weekend.

05:50Charles Leclerc picking up where he left off this time last year

05:53by leading FP1 from Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz.

05:58Max Verstappen, fourth-fastest, three-tenths of the pace,

06:02ahead of Yuki Tsunoda, half a second down,

06:04and about a tenth of a second between him and his teammate,

06:07Daniel Ricciardo, Oscar Piastri, in between,

06:09and the other McLaren he was in the garage for a while,

06:12where they fixed an issue on the hub of his rear left wheel.

06:17Albon, and then Alonso,

06:19went off on completing the top ten outside of this.

06:22Franco Polopinto in 11th place,

06:25just by a few one-hundredths of a second.

06:27Lewis Hamilton not happy with the tyre metrics in his Mercedes,

06:31and just complaining a bit that he's driving one way,

06:34but it's not the best way, and he's really struggling to a touch.

06:37George Russell right down there as well.

06:39Not the best session for Mercedes,

06:41but it's only the first of three practice sessions,

06:43the big one, the big representative practice session,

06:46comes next.
