00:00Lance Stroll puts himself just above his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, could still be very much at risk.
00:07Latifi's gone fastest overall in the first sector, Vettel's in the bottom five, Ocon goes 8th fastest.
00:13There are green sector times all across the board here, one of which was Yuki Tsunoda,
00:18but he's only gone 16th on his latest lap, and green sector times means a personal best for that driver.
00:24Gasly goes 13th fastest, pushes Stroll down into the bottom, Stroll's out of qualifying in Q1 again.
00:30Albon can't get out of Q1, his teammate Nicholas Latifi might, Lando Norris goes 5th fastest.
00:37Mick Schumacher the driver at risk, but Mick Schumacher is out of the bottom five, is 14th.
00:43Nicholas Latifi, whatever happened on that lap happened in the final sector to him sadly,
00:48whilst he put in a really good first sector and a pretty decent middle sector, the time just went by the end, and he is out.
00:57And on the new tyres towards the ends, the two Mercedes of Hamilton and Russell put in the fastest two times from Sainz, Verstappen and Norris.
01:07OK, we've lost that lap for track limits at Turn 5.
01:10Turn 5 is what it said on the screens. Well, that actually looked like he was on the line.
01:15He was still on the line, wasn't he, surely?
01:18The stewards have had a little rethink.
01:20They have indeed. They are reinstating Perez's time, rightly so.
01:24Somebody was a bit overeager there, weren't they?
01:27Yeah.
01:28This is annoying for him if he's having to go again when he didn't need to.
01:33Valtteri Bottas then, who I mentioned on a run now of not making Q3 at the last six races,
01:42has put in a couple of personal bests in the first two sectors, as has Esteban Ocon.
01:47Ocon a couple of tenths maybe faster than Valtteri Bottas during those two sectors.
01:52Bottas could make things interesting for everyone else if he gets into that top ten, and he does.
01:57pushes Sergio Perez right onto the limit.
02:00Lando Norris has just gone fastest overall in the first sector.
02:03Esteban Ocon goes eighth fastest ahead then of Valtteri Bottas.
02:07Perez is now in the bottom five and is out of qualifying.
02:12Yes, he's not on the racetrack. I'm looking at the tracker here. He's not out.
02:15Got to be in it to win it, and he wasn't. So Sergio Perez is out.
02:19F*** Magnussen. Yeah, what's the luck doing mate? Magnussen.
02:24S***. Copy that check-out.
02:26Perez along with Magnussen both out. Joe Guanyu also out. Lance Stroll and Mick Schumacher completing that bottom five.
02:34Verstappen and Leclerc separated by six one-hundredths.
02:39Ocon does a 1.18.8 then on his flying lap. Ricciardo behind him a 1.19.3.
02:45Let's watch Charles Leclerc through the final corner. Be patient, be patient, and then get the DRS open.
02:51Straight line to the line. 1.17.9.
02:54Clean lap. Sainz will have him and have him quite comfortably.
02:57Here's Lando Norris next across the line. Goes on to the second row ahead of Ocon and his teammate Daniel Ricciardo.
03:03Carlos Sainz though looking for provisional pole. Gets provisional pole by nearly half a second from his teammate Charles Leclerc.
03:10Takes a beating.
03:12Very good first lap for Carlos Sainz.
03:15Fernando Alonso we know has got a new set of tyres on board his Alpine.
03:19Twice a pole sitter here before. Goes third fastest behind the two Ferraris.
03:23And that will certainly be news down at Red Bull.
03:26As Lewis Hamilton now goes third fastest on a used set of tyres.
03:31George Russell next across the line. Goes second fastest ahead of Charles Leclerc.
03:35Charles Leclerc and the Mercedes running a used set of tyres. And they found pace where Charles Leclerc got all a little bit squirrely coming out of turn one and lost time.
03:44Here's Max Verstappen next across the line. Only seventh fastest for Max Verstappen.
03:50Nothing horrible through the last corner.
03:53Leclerc has gone fastest through the first sector.
03:56Nothing works.
03:57Well, Verstappen's still going but there's problems there.
04:00Yeah, that's the 28 one we were expecting from Leclerc last time around. He's nailed it this time.
04:05But Sainz even faster with a 28-0. Sainz currently on pole by best part of half a second.
04:12Ferrari wants a front row lockout here. And they're going the best way about it with Sainz and Leclerc comfortably ahead of the rest of the field through the first sector.
04:23I can tell you that George Russell and Lewis Hamilton are still to go through that first sector.
04:28We'll get their comparisons in a moment. Lando Norris was a couple of tenths down on Carlos Sainz.
04:33But here comes Leclerc then out of the final corner. Is this another provisional pole? No, it's not.
04:39By six one-hundredths of a second, he can't better his teammate Carlos Sainz.
04:44So Sainz knows that one threat has gone. Another in the space of Verstappen has gone as well.
04:50His first sector absolutely nowhere. Carlos Sainz on provisional pole extends his margin ahead of the rest.
04:57And it could be a second pole of his career for Carlos Sainz.
05:01Lando Norris will be next to cross the line in his McLaren. Goes up to third.
05:06New set of tyres on that McLaren giving Norris everything.
05:09Now for ****, F***, F***.
05:13They can't fix it. It's going to be tenth and eleventh on the grid for Red Bull.
05:19Red Bull. This has been a dream Saturday for Ferrari, but can Mercedes come back and try and get a front row?
05:25Oh, it's better than that! George Russell takes provisional pole! For the first time in his career in Formula One,
05:33George Russell could be starting on pole, and that is absolutely incredible!
05:38You've made it!
05:40Come on!
05:41Woo!
05:42Come on, mate!
05:44Yes!
05:45Woo!
05:46Come on!
05:47Come on!
05:49You beauty!
05:51You beauty!
05:53Few things to pick up on here. Lewis Hamilton had a DRS issue. It was an opening.
05:57That's why he pitted and aborted his final flying lap.
06:01Max Verstappen limped round, and it's going to be 10th and 11th on the grid for Red Bull.
06:06And guess what? The boy from Kingsland's on pole!
