00:00Well, let's talk about Pierre Gasly first.

00:02We've already seen that floor scraping along,

00:05and they might need to adjust the ride height a touch on that one

00:09because he's... Oh, did something just fly off the car?

00:12Trying to get a big, long run in.

00:14What's the game plan here?

00:16It's Franklin Colapinto making his way...

00:18Whoa! And sliding nicely through the S's there.

00:23Fantastic.

00:24What's your plan for today?

00:27And the word I got... Two words I got back was set up.

00:30It's all about set up and giving the drivers confidence

00:33in the cars to take it to Sprint Qualify.

00:35I have to be careful not to drop my microphone into a car

00:38coming out of the pit lane exit

00:40because I'm actually right on top of them here.

00:41But you get a fantastic look right inside the cockpit.

00:45And that was Lewis getting a bit squirrelly there

00:48through the S's on the exit of the first turn.

00:51So that's... I think that's Valtteri in the state salvo.

00:58But another flurry of cars coming out.

01:01I've heard that if that was Checo,

01:03I was told that he may have got a new chassis,

01:06or not a new chassis, but he's changed his chassis.

01:10So it'll be interesting to see whether he thinks it's any better

01:12as I watch Carlos Sainz going right underneath me.

01:17Going right underneath me.

01:20The track, you can tell it's much darker than it used to be.

01:24On Saturday after qualifying as well,

01:26which is a terrific thrill for him and everyone here.

01:29Yeah, I really hope the weather holds up.

01:31Oh, man, there's a Ferrari dawdling.

01:33That's Carlos Sainz on the race line.

01:34So Sainz trying to get a gap with Leclerc in front,

01:37and Lewis ended up going past.

01:39A struggle to keep under control.

01:41I think we've seen this a little bit.

01:42Do you want to talk to me this week, Lecroft,

01:44or are you happy for me to keep going?

01:45Yeah, Carlos Sainz was definitely trying to build a gap,

01:47a jump south.

01:49And whether he'd been warned that Lewis Hamilton was coming or not,

01:53I'm not quite sure.

01:55And he was looking in his mirrors and probably felt

01:57that he was far enough over,

01:59but I get the feeling Lewis might disagree somewhat on that one.

02:04Let's have a look at Yuki Tsunoda before we come back to Porter.

02:06As at ten, and whenever he touched the grass,

02:08probably on the left, with the rear left tyre.

02:10Potentially.

02:11Because you sometimes see that,

02:13because your eye line is looking to the right, into the apex.

02:17No, just a bit of rear instability there.

02:21I was looking at it.

02:25Oh, dear.

02:26Yeah, so having a look at the lap time profile,

02:29if we like, last year, and as you've mentioned, Corinne,

02:32we do have the soft tyre for the majority still to come.

02:36Between P1, the end of P1, obviously we've got...

02:39Watch Lewis Hamilton here, by the way.

02:44This is heading towards Maguglielo and Jun Cao.

02:50And just finding that there's no room past Lando Norris there.

02:54He was about to start a lap himself.

02:57And that would have compromised Lewis's run,

02:59because you do need a good, clean run through Jun Cao.

03:03He's gone wide at Turn 4 anyway.

03:05But you do need a good, clean run through Jun Cao

03:07to get the speed up the hill and down the straight.

03:12I just wouldn't get the words out.

03:14We can practice.

03:15We've been practicing all week long on that one, to be honest.

03:18I thought you were going to say,

03:19where would Formula 1 be without numbers?

03:21Here's a number for George Russell.

03:23P1.

03:24P1 by some margin on the soft compound tyre.

03:27A 1.10.7.

03:29So a 1.10.7 was the fastest time in Q3 last year.

03:32Max Verstappen, we're only in FP1 here at the moment,

03:36but we're on to the soft tyres there with George Russell.

03:38Faster and closer to track every day.

03:42We're going to hear a lot of this, aren't we?

03:43We're going to hear bumpy track and overheating tyres,

03:46I predict, at the end of this session.

03:48Honestly, you know, coming as a complete rookie here from,

03:52you know, as Behrman is, it is a tough track.

03:54There's lots of subtle cambers.

03:56There's lots of just, you know, ways you need to attack the kerbs

04:00and ride the kerbs to just find a bit more rotation in the car.

04:04Piastri understeering wide a little bit at the first apex.

04:06That would have compromised his run for the right-hander

04:09and hence, I think, forced him off wide.

04:12My right elbow's getting caught on some duct tape.

04:19If that happened to me, I'd pull all the hair off.

04:21You start to get that movement, don't you, if it gets too hot.

04:24You just start to get some movement on the soft tyre.

04:27Yeah, I was just going to see if there was anything interesting

04:29that you wanted to talk through this, Corinne, but a lot of traffic.

04:32That is a struggle at the end of these sessions.

04:34That's often why people like Russell do the run a bit earlier on

04:37when the track is quiet.

04:39How much do you think we've got?

04:42It'll be one more lap when you cross the line.

04:47That has, I believe, had him over in the past

04:50with not having to learn on that soft tyre for this afternoon.

04:53You use it first time getting into SQ3 and it's a bit of a shock.

04:58Lando Norris goes fastest by a couple of tenths from George Russell.

05:03He did get a faster lap out of his second lap.

05:06There's not fully grip there on those final grid positions.

05:09Lewis Hamilton...

05:11That was one bumpy ride. Wow.

05:17Certainly looked like it.

05:18Lando Norris, his bumps might have been worth it a little bit more

05:38because he had the fastest time.

05:40By just under two tenths from George Russell, Oliver Behrman

05:42in the top three, deputising for Kevin Magnussen.

05:46For the sprints, definitely, and the Grand Prix, potentially.

05:50Gasly and Alonso Hülkenberg all making their way into the top ten.

05:54But Verstappen didn't do a full lap on the soft compound tyre,

05:58so his best lap was on the medium.

06:00Lewis Hamilton didn't put the softs on at all.

06:02Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda both getting their best laps on the mediums.

06:06They started the session on the softs,

06:07then went to the mediums towards the end.

06:09And Sergio Perez, down in 19th,

06:12changed his chassis, hasn't necessarily improved his fortunes.

06:15In the practice session, sprint qualifying to come next.

06:19And that's where it gets important.
