00:00And you know someone of a staff and strength he can probably do that and that's what they've done
00:04They've sat last night. They look at the data from everyone else in the medium and hard
00:08From what I could see they're actually pretty close in terms of degradation
00:12Get Gasly out on the track at the moment though Alpine still searching for pace despite having to deal with that engine
00:18Deficit that they have putting a Mercedes power unit in the back of that car next year puts himself up into second
00:24I'm out talking much and much and Bukowski or on Rossi and then you go into
00:32But hey, it depends what you're counting high-level senior staff or team principles because you're out of her main as well, haven't you?
00:4226 last corner
00:44Put the power down. It's
00:47Yeah, it's lovely
00:50It's a bit of heat back there from Verstappen and that's something that the team will try and
00:56help them with
00:57Yeah, something to keep an eye on because the first sector of the lap Harry is basically straight turn the first corner and go straight
01:03Again, the meat of the lap is very much in the second and then the final sector where lando is quicker
01:09Then Verstappen and goes quicker by attempt at half and then promptly goes off the track of the first corner
01:14Yeah, a 1 0 5 4 1 2
01:16The fact that he's in the heart on the hard tire and straight away on the pace
01:21That bodes well to put him right in contention for qualifying which we expect he was on pole here
01:26Yes, last year by four tenths of a second and don't expect him to be out of it again
01:32Colopinto locking up at three and
01:35Fernando Alonso as well running right up there at the top of the hill
01:40Yuki Tsunoda's just popped up in the second place
01:43He's not time for Tsunoda. He's on the soft tire. Yeah
01:47105 499 and Charlotte Clare also running out there. I mean Tsunoda is another man who needs a good weekend
01:53It doesn't yourself. I think Lewis Hamilton would like
01:56uh would like one too. Yeah, I think just to pick up on that Corrine I think yesterday they were
02:01de-rating a little bit at the end of the streets and often that doesn't show up in the straight line
02:06speed that we get because if that speed's measured a bit earlier in the street it looks quite comparable
02:12It doesn't look great for the floor. Um, but yeah, sometimes it's they were running a little bit lower down on engine
02:18That was the McLaren that heard of the clerk from me
02:20Well, that just highlights what we were talking about with the traffic management
02:26Behrman straight on the radio to to say it wasn't me coming through into turn six and seven so tricky there
02:32You've got multiple cars coming through piastri running wide at turn one
02:40And we box Charles box and go out straight away
02:43I love it
02:47Is that a sarcastic love it or do we think he actually loves it?
02:51It took five years for them to be fighting for the championship even in the tod era
02:55And even then you know there was loads of questions. Oh, should tod go is tod the man the job?
02:59And there's loads of questions, but tod had the benefit of montezemelo above him
03:04Just just being that buffer you see what happened to oscar the asteri coming round
03:13And that could have been big yeah lord i'm just a carried through there and then just dropped a wheel
03:19dummy that
03:20This huge amount of speed through there you're talking 230 kilometers an hour
03:26Just look at how
03:28It's just brutal isn't it you see the energy going through that
03:31No, you just need to check the floor obviously
03:36yeah, will do
03:37Yeah, the energy going through the floor and the gravel they're just spitting onto the track as well
03:43as i would have annoyed the cars behind him but
03:46oscar straight in the pits they'll have a good look at it
03:48They've got 20 odd minutes to go um so he should still have enough time if there is no damage of course for him to get his uh final quality on it
03:56He's up though the lap time looking good at the moment he's up on both
04:00sectors when it compares to norris's time so let's see if this does put him at the top no it doesn't
04:05It's a good lap from norris surly doors still holds onto it russell up into second it was on the right hand side
04:11But they had paul monaghan crawling around looking at the front leading edge of the floor on the right hand side so uh
04:18Yeah, let's see uh see if you get the news
04:22Thank you ted's we'll come back to you and as alonzo goes up into six spot
04:27Yeah, I was just going to let norris go through turn one, but yeah, basically they can amend so
04:33Yeah, rear of the car just not with him there look at his banging the steering wheel with his hands
04:38So that's just some putty they put into the floor
04:40The data the sensors that we have on these cars are so good at telling us
04:44How much load has been going through the suspension and lap on lap and lap and lap and then we add that up over the race and say
04:49Okay, how close do we think we are to some potential for you?
04:52lando norris on a mighty lap fastest of anybody or his own lap in the first and middle sectors finds half a second on his own time
05:01In the one oh four three two four almost seven tenths clear
05:05Of the next best george russell as albon pops himself up into sixth and I think he's about to turn the car around as well around the final corner
05:14Just got greedy
05:16And got away with it good pirouette
05:19That's a that's a very good choreography
05:22Yeah, what she just goes in carries a lot of speed under stairs on the gravel and you know what?
05:28Well, uh, sorry
05:30And looking at things like that i'd say well done to the owners of the red bull
05:39Are you ready to start from this last 11 minutes or so of free practice three and oscar piastri?
05:44Pushing hard in that first sector personal best in the middle sector around the final corner
05:49A tenth the drift of his teammate puts himself up into second spot on his run out on the soft tire
05:55Max staff in here in terms of numbers five consecutive pole positions around this track it is a happy
06:02Hunting ground for the reigning champion five times a winner around this track regardless of what we've called the grand prix
06:10Currently first lap out on that fresh set of softs pushing to the limits around turn nine out of the final corner
06:17DRS will come for the dutchman across the line two tenths adrift down in third
06:22We'll see how that unfolds when we get to qualifying
06:26Lando by the way went faster than anybody in the first sector and then had this moment at the top of the hill at turn three
06:32so uh
06:33Ended up sort of aborting that lap gets over the curb and
06:38That's less damaging than when you hit a curb at full load
06:44At turn nine for example when when the car's compressed and buried into the ground still not great, but it's
06:49Less damaging than what we saw from oscar earlier. Yeah yellow flag sonoda going slow out of the exit
06:55Will wait for antonelli
06:58The red ball gets out of the way sonoda is back up and running now green
07:03Back out onto the track as antonelli almost has a large moment around the final corner losing time as a result
07:10Um, so he's done good mileage around here, and it's nice to see him
07:14You know in in the window of performance against russell so far
07:18rally style almost for kimmy antonelli he's so exciting to watch there's an energy about him
07:24He's he's just very very exciting to watch and in here just went in carried the speed dropped the wheel in the gravel quick as a cat with reflexes
07:33And uh, yeah, got away with it. So this was
07:38Uh, I almost jumped it with that red ball. I don't know who the f*** it was
07:44f***ing knowing these guys
07:45It's max Verstappen who saw him tried to get out of the way, but that is a tough place to get out of a final corner all the way to the inside
07:54Bernie is shaking your head at that one. Yeah, that's too late
07:56If he was given the information there that's too late. He's a clear track ahead of him
08:00Yes, he's trying to prep his tires and things, but he should have just gone. He should have gone ahead of that and not had the disturbance
08:07That's what happened to sonoda
08:10Really are leaving it to the last minute
08:12Max Verstappen and round he went clouted that curb on the inside another perfect pirouette from a red bull driver
08:18Yeah, took a lot of that inside curve and the car just didn't go with it there
08:23Soon as it you could hear it couldn't even do over that inside curb
08:30They all sound so cool and chill about it because it happens
08:34Yeah, and you can see the flat spots on those tires. So, uh, yeah max won't get that final lap
08:39So ferrari have tried to go for a final lap here and this is leclerc
08:43So he did a did the first sector and then this is what happened to him at the top of the hill just some rear locking
08:50Under breaking for the corner that that seemed to sort of foul the downshift. He's in the wrong gear
08:54You see you heard him fumbling for gears on the exit of the corner, which is unusual practice three
08:59I'll have a little interlude before we go qualifying but
09:04Advantage lando norris
09:06fastest at the end of fp3 oscar piastri makes it a mclaren 1-2 and max verstappen tucked in behind in third
09:14It could be a really tight qualifying later on this afternoon charlotte
09:19And lewis hamilton looking a little better for ferrari on saturday george russell and kimmy antinelli a couple of tents behind
09:25Them inside the top seven lance stroll up there in the aston martin once more
09:29So too for sunoda but had a spin and watch out for gabriel bortoletto throughout the rest of this weekend
09:35Could be on course for a good qualifying liam lawson in 11th ahead of fernando alonso nico hulkenberg was 13th head of alex album
09:43signs ahead of behem and pierre gasly in 17
09:46esterman ocon down in 18th ahead of franco colapinto had a spin and isaac hadjar too
