00:00need to keep a close eye in the mirrors for those ferraris especially down the back straight

00:04where they can get the drs the rear wing open and therefore got a good amount of straight line speed

00:10so we can see some action down in to that turn 14 here but this track really works well

00:17for formula one cars they just they've got the right speed and grip and they bring this track

00:22alive and it destroys tires as well so you're slipping and sliding around as tanya ricardo

00:28is right at the start here at the end of each and every step one stopper say the teams is what

00:33they'd like to do whether they can get away with it or not we wait to see valtteri bottas starts on

00:39pole then four of the last five winners here at the chinese grand prix have started on pole but

00:43not daniel ricardo last year he started sixth and i wonder is poland advantage today or not because

00:49pole hasn't won in 2019 yet either that's an interesting stat isn't it and we know that

00:54valtteri bottas oh he's gone around so that's max verstappen now he's uh trying to warm the tires up

01:02you've got an amazing tire warmer underneath your right foot now as long as he doesn't drop to the

01:07back of the field he can make his way back through i'd imagine he got away quite quickly but yeah

01:13you've got to warm your tires up you've got your brake pedal that'll warm the fronts up and he's back

01:18he's back in position isn't he um but underneath your right foot it's a thousand horse there is

01:24robert kibica in the williams who might just have done martin something very very similar to what

01:30happened but they've got it they've got to bring one of the ferraris in to cover that surely which

01:34one they're going to bring in first leclerc is the one most at risk from the undercut now this i said

01:40about lando norris has he got a bit of damage well we know he's got a bit of floor damage but look how that

01:45front wing is scraping along the ground getting very hot and throwing out a lot of sparks as well

01:50yeah you can get the the ferrari don't appear to be coming yes they're coming out now ferrari

01:56mechanics running out now of the garage which ferrari are they going to pick first looks very

02:01much a judgment as to when you fully release the clutch the second phase uh now we've got three four

02:08more abreast in here so how can we end up back there then but he got away well and then and just

02:15got swallowed up by the field and in the second phase and then overtaken by perez and giovanazzi as

02:22well trying to make up for it bang bang bang yeah norris so unlucky there it was after his sixth place finish in

02:33bahrain the the harsh realities of a long formula one season uh hitting him like a danny fiat

02:41mistimed move on the opening lap here meanwhile george russell another young british rookie

02:48getting lapped by charles leclerc as it has been in the other races so far this season the williams

02:54are not on the same lap as the leaders in this race uh ted to you a couple of things from down here in the

02:59pits first of all lance stroll p12 uh in the racing point at the moment reporting some uh rough downshave
