00:00this is a nervous moment then for George Russell so much talk of his contract status coming into

00:07this weekend Tsunoda's done he's on a slow lap next to Russell there so Tsunoda was on a flying

00:12lap didn't find a big improvement and he's out in Q1 17th place at best Gasly jumps up to fourth

00:19position Sainz has got a personal best Colopinto demotes George Russell to the drop zone and now

00:27Colopinto's improvement means that Russell needs to find something at the circuit where he won last

00:33year he needs an improvement as Hajar goes to P5 and Russell is down not on the P16 time that's

00:40compared to Lando Norris he is on for a personal best in the first sector no improvement in the

00:45middle of the lap Russell up against the clock here facing pressure he would not have expected

00:51his teammate is in 10th Russell hangs on to it goes to the line and finds the 11th fastest time

00:57it's not the easiest lap for him but it's enough to progress him through Stroll is in the drop zone

01:02along with Ocon Tsunoda is done Sainz is the driver fighting Hülkenberg is in 20th position and Sainz

01:09is only 19th now we're getting into the high speeds this way saying there's no load and there's just not

01:16actually there I think there is something wrong with that car there's no way the tail should be

01:20wagging like that

01:21and it's Stroll, Ocon, Tsunoda, Sainz and Hülkenberg the five to fall

01:29Gabriel Bortleto what a time that is for the man chasing a first appearance in the top 10 shootout

01:39good enough for P3 both Mercedes tidally through the first sector it's a decent job from the two

01:45they're almost purple actually in that first part so Antonelli clean as well through turn six straight

01:50into turn seven the second of these lefts and now there's a reasonable run flat out over the crest

01:55hope you don't find someone going slowly over here but there's 10 seconds left to the end of the session

01:59so everyone is on a last flyer and it's working for them Lawson went up to seventh Alonso went up to

02:0528th Antonelli now replaces the two-time world champion in P8 at the moment Russell Noscam

02:11around the final corner on the racetrack and Russell posts himself in the top five

02:16Gasly is still fighting to try and find his place in the top 10 and he's on a really good lap at the

02:23moment he was fourth in Q1 Gasly has pace today in the Alpine Colopinto is not far away either so

02:29Antonelli and Alonso are not safe in ninth and tenth all down to the final few meters of the racetrack

02:34Pierre Gasly to the line to sixth position to eliminate Fernando Alonso now Antonelli's at risk

02:41Colopinto trying to get to Q3 for the first time with Alpine and he falls short at the end

02:48despite a personal best and Alex Albon can climb only to 12th Antonelli gets through

02:54Alonso Albon, Hadjar, Colopinto and Behrman are out

03:01as Oscar now sweeps through the middle sector and does a very tidy effort through there so

03:08Piastri now already coming to the final couple of corners it is such a rapid racetrack two corners to

03:14go for the championship leader Antonelli is ahead of Gasly but it's McLaren versus McLaren and there's a

03:20brush of the gravel through turn nine through turn 10 goes Piastri it's a 104.5 to beat he immediately

03:27peels from the racing line you go on board with Lando Norris who's a tenth up on his teammate

03:32faster sector one and two and three and fastest overall provisional pole for Lando Norris that is

03:39a very tidy clean lap from Norris and again he's got that margin to his teammate this one is bigger than

03:45what it has been previously that wasn't the best Oscar Piastri lap we've seen Verstappen chasing six

03:51pole positions around here in a row but he's six tenths of a second off the pace

03:56Charles Leclerc can he keep it on the road because he was rapid at the end of the second sector it was

04:01good enough to split the McLarens Russell aiming to beat his old teammate Lewis Hamilton where can he go

04:09across the line he's behind and the time fell away for the Mercedes man our most recent

04:15Grand Prix winner P5 so it's a great first sector for George Russell it's a great first sector for

04:22Charles Leclerc Lando Norris is under pressure the yellow flag is out momentarily 20 seconds to go

04:29Norris does the fastest first sector of anyone so far as Verstappen brings it to the end of the lap

04:35he's backed off yeah he was on a really decent lap there and he's backed off it he's going to be able

04:39to go again because he's just going to get it in before the the checker flag but presumably he's got

04:44no fuel in the car to go for it again Russell is going quickly Charles Leclerc is in the fight

04:49for pole position Russell the winner here last year over the line and he can't improve again the time

04:56fails in the final few corners Charles Leclerc trying to make Lando Norris answer it's a rapid lap so far

05:03the time disappears for Leclerc at the end fastest in sector one sector two the expectation was that

05:11Norris would be in this position and Lando Norris converts to pole position Oscar Piastri cannot respond

05:19he's not in the fight he's done there in third position Hamilton cannot quite pit the second

05:25McLaren down another place Piastri had yellow flags in the last corner as he started his last lap so he

05:30was only able to complete one run under green flag conditions and right on the final corner we go

05:37with Gabriel Bortoleto and Bortoleto gets ahead of Antonelli and his first start inside the top 10

05:44will be p8 for the Brazilian driver 1.1 seconds away from a scorching pace set by Lando Norris

05:52that is pole and by some margin well done yes thank you guys nice to see the old me back every now and

06:00I don't know oh that car was pretty damn beautiful good effort mate proud of you

06:07Pierre Gasly chasing it to the end pirouetting rounds and still they all avoid the wall and still

06:17we're not sure how

06:18I don't have time for another lap do I

06:24me man

06:26brilliant effort from Charles Leclerc getting himself up onto the front row the half a second

06:33gap won't be pretty for for anyone chasing Norris but at least Leclerc has the clean view ahead of

06:39him as he starts tomorrow could dream of leading the race

06:41you
