00:00 If we have a chaotic race like last year
00:03 Yeah, but hang on two seconds. We're not in the days of Sterling Moss jumping into cars and
00:10 Taking his teammates car. Are you allowed to once once the drivers been out in a chassis
00:15 Can his teammate take over that chassis for the for the rest of the weekend?
00:19 I think you can because then for you can have a reserve driver. Yeah, well you can have yeah, but pop
00:26 You can have a reserve driver obviously yet step in and that is the difficulty
00:32 So hopefully they will do everything to try and repair the chassis that has been damaged in Albans crash. What more do you have crofty?
00:39 Just that there is no spare chassis available here this weekend
00:45 I've just asked the the next question. Do you need a spare chassis and I've let you know
00:50 What comes back to me on that one, but that's that's not right
00:54 It is very
00:56 It looks wonderful reminds me actually that it's very windy out here because this
01:06 Edifice that we're on this rocks around a little bit. You can sort of see from the trees over there
01:12 You got the cityscape and the lake behind this as a driver
01:17 You never have any idea whatsoever that you're going all the way around the lake
01:22 Basically, you just never see it. But of course you do when you're out and about is that a Williams I can see
01:28 Spun in the middle of the road over there on one of the many it is diamond screen
01:33 They're really moving around the back end of the car
01:36 Complaining hard as we see Oscar Piazza now coming through this quite a slow lap actually
01:42 They head off and you've got a never-ending curve then down to the tricky turn three
01:48 Here comes the Mercedes of George Russell again on a slow lap
01:52 Wait and see something come through it quickly, but they really
01:56 Accelerate hard cars sound fabulous as they head off down towards turn three shall we say so the clear one?
02:04 179
02:06 Don't forget
02:07 He got pulled here in
02:09 2022
02:11 Loved this track
02:13 Although retired on that one for the fifth time
02:15 Last year when he got caught up in the the melee and the kerfuffle at the start Pierre Gasly
02:21 Closer to the wall. Yeah, then you would really want season at the expense potentially of their race pace as well
02:30 Oh, that was Fernando Alonso on the soft tires through a beautiful section of track
02:36 But not getting the fastest time so far. Did you see that coffee? That's where
02:39 I
02:41 For our dangerously slow the straight science
02:50 blank corner
02:53 Lost lost even more time compared to his teammate those around him through that final section
03:01 So there's probably more pace Karun. There's definitely more pace in those two Alpines that we didn't see
03:07 But let's have a look at that moment. We saw the bunny hop moment almost for his teammate
03:12 And that is such an easy thing to do going into what is the slowest corner on the track?
03:17 Yeah, we saw Paris do that
03:19 this morning
03:22 Yeah, I just went in there a bit too hard it's it's so tricky coffee because you come through the previous corner quite high-speed
03:34 The the five relegated from q1 have been the same in both the opening races. Here's Kevin Magnuson going
03:39 And dipping a front left tire into the gravel that could have been a lot worse for him
03:46 Yeah, I was about to say Karun
03:51 You would have seen what he did
03:53 If you looked in the the wing mirrors of the the salvo when you see them across the line in about a minute's time
03:59 There's a gonna see Russell as something happened with Russell Crofty as the replay is going off again. Yeah, Russ
04:05 Yeah, I was gonna say we're gonna get the the true read about whether going back to the
04:13 Testing spec floor for Mercedes has been the right way to go on these laps
04:18 Around here just coming up just a final thought for me about Williams and Alex Albon Logan sergeant
04:25 Yeah, let's look about the fears final sector is stroll and the loans
04:30 It is six or seven laps and we're still finding performance as we said before
04:34 The clear comes across the line and goes to the top of the time very strong final sector
04:40 I was saying in FB1 coffee. I think the Ferrari is particularly well suited to the final sector of the lap
04:47 Yeah, well, he kept it on the road that time very good lap from George Russell
04:52 It's an even bigger advantage for Ferrari to be that strong or stronger
04:56 As we see Max Verstappen down towards a turn three and got a car ahead of him
05:02 Which I think might have been Valtteri Bottas, no it wasn't it was his teammate Joe Guan you
05:14 Couldn't quite see the color of the the tea cap
05:16 from on board
05:19 Before
05:21 Before you go thinking it was Joe Gwynne useful
05:27 He just wasn't given the information as early as he needed to yeah, they can afford a suboptimal soft
05:33 I run today. I think I think it's more important for them to try and get the medium
05:38 Information because they have tomorrow. This was Hamilton's nap, but they said this way
05:43 He probably bailed out of it. You see hand off the wheel
05:46 They're under steered off onto that curb. It is such a harsh run to the driver's spine watch there as it bounces
05:53 we're gonna see it and the
05:55 Energy that goes through the floor. You can see bits of almost looks like flame property, isn't it?
06:00 But it's actually a shower of stars
06:02 But across the season you're right that the teams tend to build four or five different chassis through the year
06:08 Which is actually less than they used to if you always look less
06:12 Nap of oversteer on the way in and that sent him across
06:17 And the grass but he's got away with it
06:20 Yeah, I mean back back in let's go the early 2000s all the testing they used to build six seven chassis for you
06:27 Actually, so yeah, it's quite normal for teams to just cycle chassis through here's a replay properly and just
06:34 Grass cutting and a bit of gravel flicking up as well from Charlotte Claire, which we see quite often
06:41 During the course of a Grand Prix weekend, especially if there's a tailwind going in to turn one, which there which there isn't
06:48 It's it's very much a crosswind today
06:50 The car much favors either
06:54 124,000 people here today, by the way
06:58 124,000
07:02 Reliable season the Claire was 22 8 last lap medium time
07:08 That's something wrong
07:10 All four of those power units that you get allocated
07:15 Lewis Hamilton career and if you're watching his lap times, he does not feel that he's really on the pace
07:21 there's Lance Stroll a second time in this session just having a bit of a
07:26 moment at
07:29 13 no harm done is back on the track and going wheel to wheel
07:36 So that goes last row, yeah, it's a much bigger lockup than the one he had earlier in the day, isn't it?
07:42 When we get to the Grand Prix, we're gonna see more of that
07:49 Lot of drivers struggle. You remember last year actually max went off there didn't he during the during the race?
07:55 if
07:59 Williams were to swap chassis and effectively, let's say Albon took over
08:05 sergeant's chassis
08:07 Would what would happen there? Would would he?
08:11 need to take his up will he take his own engines and components and put onto
08:16 Sergeant's car or how would that work potentially does a penalty thing?
08:21 It's a tricky question
08:26 With his gardening leaf a current Chad don't check the flag is out shoulder Claire
08:33 Who you pinpointed early on in that session really looked to have a bit between his teeth ends up with the fastest time?
08:39 from Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz
08:42 Ferrari Red Bull Ferrari
08:45 As to Martin fourth and fifth wouldn't mind a grid like that for Sunday's race to be honest
08:50 Yeah, so let's give you the times and give you the rundown from practice to that
08:55 Sharla Claire who?
08:57 Was on pole and won in 2022 here
09:00 Fastest by just under four tenths of a second from Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz who is back after a coming from appendicitis
09:08 third fastest strolling Alonso in the top five Russell Piastri Perez
09:13 Norris and Yuki Sonoda all separated by less than one second at the top ten outside of which Joe Guanyu
09:22 For the Sauber team ahead of Daniel Ricciardo Logan sergeant who had a spin himself and missed the wall
09:29 Valtteri Bottas ahead of Pierre Gasly.
