00:00Leclerc has just got on with it.

00:02And gets on with it to complete the lap with a 1.30.8.

00:06Now, this time last year, Yuki Tsunoda had the fastest time in Q1 with a 1.31.9.

00:12So with that extra DRS zone and the cars being a bit faster this year,

00:15we're already over a second ahead of that.

00:18Sergio Perez crosses the line quite a long way, it has to be said, behind Charles Leclerc.

00:23Out in Q1, of course, in Baku last week, Lando Norris, yellow flag, wrong time, wrong place.

00:29Caught him out, had to back off, then aborted his lap.

00:33Couldn't get into the top 15.

00:35But that bank a lap of a 1.30.7, you would imagine,

00:39will be good enough by the end of this session to get him safely through.

00:42Yeah, I'm sure he can go faster.

00:44But as you know, Martin, it's not just about who's fastest.

00:46At the end of this one, it's about survival.

00:48And that is not the way to survive for Carlos Sainz.

00:51Mention Carlos Sainz not going to the right of the bollard at the end of the first series of corners.

00:58He's been noted for failing to follow the race director's instructions.

01:01Hamilton goes ahead of Albon Perez and Colin Pinto.

01:04Perez can't really improve much.

01:07It's a 1.31.5, but he stays seventh fastest.

01:10Made that eighth fastest.

01:11George Russell crosses the line just ahead of Sergio Perez.

01:15Let's just have a quick look at Max Verstappen out on the track.

01:19Whoa!

01:20That slide, that was sliding around like Simon Leysen beyond the luge.

01:26It was, but it's...

01:28Wow, that could have been such a headfirst into the wall.

01:33And Max's cat-like reactions kept that out, as Charles Leclerc did too.

01:38But you know what?

01:40A year ago, we barely saw a Red Bull slide, did we?

01:44It looked like it was on rail tracks, but it's no longer the case.

01:48Ted Kravitz, let's head down to you.

01:51Hearing a lot on the team radio feed of lots of drivers saying the track is not in a good condition.

01:56Lando Norris has gone purple, purple.

01:59Mercedes out on the track with Lewis Hamilton and with George Russell.

02:04And the two Red Bulls using another set of the new soft tyre,

02:08as Lando Norris goes to the 1.30.0.

02:13Slowing into the final corner, the car hits the ground hard on the way in.

02:17That must be so distracting.

02:19But it's P3 for now.

02:21So, could be enough then for Lewis Hamilton.

02:23Sergio Perez needs to pick up the pace.

02:25He's been out in Q1 four times this season.

02:27Has reached Q3 at the last four races, but he's very much on the cusp currently.

02:32Now goes fourth fastest.

02:34That's the sort of thing that Sergio Perez is looking for.

02:37But below him, lots of green sectors appearing on the timing screens,

02:41which means drivers are improving all the time.

02:43Like his teammate Max Verstappen, who goes second fastest.

02:47Daniel Ricciardo will be crossing the line soon.

02:50He's lighting up the timing screens as well.

02:52And let's ride on board then with the Aussie,

02:55as he hits the line now, goes 12th fastest.

02:58It's totally different to FP3.

03:01Totally different. These tyres are so different.

03:06And that's an ongoing story, isn't it?

03:08Because Pirelli were pretty upset with George or his comments in Baku.

03:11What else have we got here?

03:12Charles Leclerc down in 11th currently.

03:14Russell then down in 12th.

03:16Stroll is out of qualifying, because we've got the chequered flag now,

03:19and he's only 16th fastest.

03:21Behind him, Esteban Ocon, Joe Guanyu, Valtteri Bottas, all going faster.

03:26Ocon pushes Sainz down into 15th.

03:28And Daniel Ricciardo out of qualifying.

03:31Pierre Gasly will be next for Alpine.

03:33He stays in that bottom five, which is a bit surprising.

03:36Alpine fancied a better qualifying here than they had in Baku last time out.

03:40Sainz goes sixth fastest, pushes Ocon into that driver at risk zone.

03:45Who below Ocon is putting a lap in?

03:47It has to be said, he's going to be safe,

03:49because others can't quite get the lap they wanted.

03:52George Russell will survive down in 13th,

03:55and Charles Leclerc pits at the end of that lap,

03:57because there was no danger from behind.

04:05Unbelievable bunch of idiots, Matt.

04:08We are in the way everywhere.

04:16So, you'd expect much more grip on the new tyres

04:21for both Perez and for Max Verstappen.

04:23Well, that's a handful for Verstappen right at the corner,

04:26where Lance Stroll crashed last year.

04:28Max Verstappen pulls off a mighty fine save

04:31and still goes faster than his team mate.

04:33Very good, a low 1 minute 30.

04:36And watch, Norris is going to pop into the 29s with this one.

04:40Incredible speed into the last corner.

04:43All easily within track limits.

04:45Didn't quite make it, did he?

04:47Talking to each other and in the right zone.

04:50And Max had already had one adventure then on that lap,

04:53by the looks of it.

04:54And here comes the second one.

04:56He's turned in and had a big swap on the bump.

05:01Ran wide and good night.

05:03Thank you to that lap time.

05:05Yeah, it didn't look great on board.

05:07It didn't look any better off board.

05:09I tell you, once again, cat-like reactions from Verstappen

05:12to save that one.

05:13Yeah, that was impressive, as was that.

05:17That sliding from Lando Norris as well.

05:19The track temperature's gone down about a degree.

05:22Is that what's making the difference?

05:24Just one degree track temperature?

05:27As you turn in, you need to touch both kerbs.

05:30The back end just about the right amount of slide.

05:33This one is working out a lot better for him.

05:36Into the final corner and over the line

05:39comes Max Verstappen to go fastest with that 1.29.6.

05:43More than Max we're used to seeing driving a Red Bull

05:46than perhaps we've seen for a few races now.

05:49Yeah, that is an indication of the hustle at Turn 14.

05:53It might not be the fastest time.

05:55It might be the fastest time.

05:57We don't know in this Q2 session.

05:59But I hope it gets him through into Q3

06:02because you want to see Max Verstappen competing with the rest.

06:06You said just the right amount of slide.

06:08Here comes Charles Leclerc as Piastri has gone fastest.

06:11Leclerc goes third fastest overall.

06:13And we've now got four drivers into the 1.29s on board

06:17with Carlos Sainz, a bit tentative, on turn in

06:21and goes sixth fastest.

06:23Albon and Colopinso both improving.

06:25Tsunoda goes down to 11th.

06:27Albon into the top 10, trying to reach Q3 at four races in a row

06:31for the first time as a Williams driver.

06:33But could his teammate deny him?

06:34No, Colopinso beat him in Baku, slots him behind him here.

06:38And he's out of qualifying too.

06:40Here comes Yuki Tsunoda.

06:41Albon's out of qualifying.

06:43Yuki Tsunoda goes eighth fastest in the RB.

06:46He's picking up a lot of pace in that middle part of the lap.

06:48Four tenths on his teammate Sergio Perez in Q2 in the final laps.

06:52But he's got three tenths up on Oscar Piastri

06:54who crosses the line, can't get into the 1.29s.

06:56And someone's gone off at the final corner, and it's Carlos Sainz.

07:01And we've had another accident at the final corner.

07:04And a red flag as well.

07:06This time last year, it was in Q1.

07:08Now, it's in Q3.

07:10And the session has been immediately stopped

07:12with the Ferrari hitting the barriers at that final turn

07:16at a speed of around 120 miles an hour

07:19and going backwards into the Tecro barriers.

07:22Let's have a little look here, earlier on in the lap.

07:25He was just slowing down.

07:27And he was starting a lap, Carlos Sainz.

07:29So, slow to let Oscar Piastri through.

07:33Yeah, and that's why it was nowhere near as big as we have seen in there.

07:36Because he was literally...

07:38So, basically, he's...

07:40Yeah, he's really backed off.

07:43Yeah, I think it was cold tires.

07:50Yeah, so he's had to back off a long way to get himself some space.

07:53And when he got there, nowhere near enough grip, as you say.

07:56He was focused on the steering wheel as well, wasn't he?

07:58Around the final corner with the young Australian.

08:01And it's a 1.29.9 for Oscar Piastri,

08:05who did not put in a best personal sector in that final bit.

08:09So, that allows Lando Norris half a chance more

08:12to try and snatch that provisional pole

08:14and what would be a first pole from Oscar Piastri.

08:16Norris crosses the line. He is ahead, then.

08:19It's a 1.29.5, and that might...

08:21And now, around the final couple of corners.

08:23A corner that took out his teammate, Carlos Sainz.

08:26Charles Leclerc is only fourth fastest.

08:28Second row and behind, Nico Hülkenberg,

08:31whose time is still holding that third place.

08:34Here comes Lewis Hamilton.

08:36Four poles previously in Singapore.

08:38And he's on the front row!

08:39What a final sector from Lewis Hamilton.

08:41And the crowd absolutely loved that one.

08:44Here's Max Verstappen. No pole for him since Imola.

08:47And he's now on the front row, tantalizing the two tens

08:51behind Lando Norris, his nearest challenger in the championship.

08:55George Russell goes on to the second row.

08:57He aces the final sector.

08:58Here comes Yuki Tsunoda, eighth fastest for him.

09:01Leclerc, time deleted. Ferrari, ninth in ten.

09:05That's pole.

09:07Yeah, well, that's difficult.

09:09Difficult to drive, but...

09:12Well done, everyone.
