00:00Personal best through the first sector for Haja, for Albon, for Stroll, for Sunoda, for Sainz and for Gabriel Bortoletto.
00:07The house is yet to push on. Behrmann's in the first sector. Ocon is on an outlap. He's going to be last over the line. Albon improves to P8.
00:15So Lawson down to 13th and he's backed off this lap. He may just about have time for another one, but it's going to be tight.
00:22Lando Norris went out there and improved his first and third sectors. He is ahead by three tenths of a second.
00:29Pressure lap time this for Carlos Sainz who comes over the line, goes ahead of his teammate and finds his way into the next part of the session.
00:37Improvements coming from loads of those further back as well. Lawson now 15th and I don't think he has started a flying lap. This could be it for Lawson.
00:45Fifth for Haja is a superb effort. Ninth for Lance Stroll. Yuki Sunoda is in the drop zone. Gabriel Bortoletto is pushing on.
00:52The racing bull car is up to ninth position. Gabriel Bortoletto made it through into Q2. SQ2 at the moment is possible because he's got to 14th.
01:03So Lawson is gone. 18th and he's pitted. Disaster continues for Liam Lawson. The two Haas cars started their laps very late and we ride on board with Oli Behrmann.
01:12Gasly is done. He's in the drop zone. Hülkenberg is improving as well. They're all pushing. They're all on personal bests and they need it.
01:19One Haas over the line and going to ninth position. What a lap when it counted for Oliver Behrmann who now drops Jacques Touin into the drop zone along with his teammate Pierre Gasly.
01:29Bortoletto on the bubble. Let's see whether Hülkenberg can get past, whether he can out-qualify his teammate in this format.
01:35Hülkenberg can't find the time. He's out. What about Esteban Ocon? He improves to 18th, but he can't make it either.
01:43Just understeered wide at turn 9 and it is an understeer-inducing corner that you've got to wait for the front to turn.
01:50You can see the steering lock on and he's just tried to squeeze on the gas, but he's run too far off the road there. Lost the traction of the rear tires and that is Lawson done.
02:00That was Esteban Ocon putting a wheel on the gravel coming through the 16th and final turn. He's been out-qualified by his new teammate Oliver Behrmann.
02:09And it's doing! Gasly, Ocon, Hülkenberg and Liam Lawson is 20th in the Red Bull.
02:19Hamilton's out there and he is on Norris' pace in the middle sector.
02:23So this is more like it then from Hamilton. We have seen that he's been able to match Norris. First lap not so much. Now he's got the tires fired up and it's working.
02:31Alonso's first sector once again is really good. His middle sector is decent so it's looking good for Fernando Alonso.
02:36Good teamwork from the Racing Bulls. Slipstream orchestrated on the long back straight here for Yuki Tsunoda.
02:42Every second helps, every tenth of a second helps around this circuit and it's the fourth fastest time for the Japanese driver.
02:49And Lance Stroll goes ahead of him into P4 at the moment. One year ago Aston Martin were in the top three on the grid around here.
02:57Lewis Hamilton finds the top three. He's two tenths of a second back compared to the benchmark set by Lando Norris.
03:03Charles Leclerc doesn't have the pace of his teammate at the moment. He's only in fifth.
03:08What about the rest of the order? Fernando Alonso makes it into the top eight. He's ahead of both Mercedes.
03:13Yeah, Mercedes slipping down. Need to find a bit of something. Baermann gets into the top ten as well but everyone behind is improving.
03:19Super lap from Oliver Baermann who is really having a better time of it in round two compared to round one.
03:25Sainz is not going to make it into the top ten shootout. Neither is Gabriel Bortoletto. He's gone into 13th position.
03:32Alex Albon was a star in Melbourne. He's a star in Shanghai. A superb lap to go ahead of the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc.
03:39Tsunoda is in eighth. Alonso is in ninth. Tenth for Oliver Baermann who was this man's teammate when it came to Formula 2 last year.
03:47But it's Antonelli who finds the fourth fastest time and knocks out the Haas driver.
03:52Russell is next up. He was behind Antonelli. He's a rookie teammate before. He comes across the line.
03:57He's second fastest ahead of the McLaren of Oscar Piastri. This is where Hajar's chance of SQ3 disappeared.
04:05If you haven't driven the circuit before, it is pretty specialist coming through this first turn.
04:09It goes on and on and on and you've got to go through five gears before you just pick it up there at turn three.
04:16Alonso, Baermann, Sainz, Bortoletto and Hajar are out.
04:23Lewis Hamilton, the rear moving around on the exit at turn 13.
04:27They're desperate to stand on the power and take all the momentum they can onto this long straight with the DRS open.
04:34Piastri's in the mix as well. This is going to be hundredths if not thousandths of a second.
04:39As we come over the line, Hamilton has the middle and it's the best one.
04:44The middle sector is the best of anyone out there. One minute to go.
04:47Still a battle rages between the Ferraris and the McLaren. Will Lewis Hamilton go to the top?
04:52He will by eight hundredths of a second.
04:55Norris is going quickly though through the middle part of the lap. Here's Charles Leclerc to the line.
04:59The Ferrari cuts the beam and goes to third. He's two tenths back on what his new teammate could do.
05:05Now Piastri and Norris are the only drivers who can get in the mix when it comes to Hamilton.
05:12Piastri misses out and Lando Norris is in the background. Lando Norris is pitting.
05:17And Lewis Hamilton has found a lap time to take him top.
05:22Can Verstappen take sprint pole?
05:24It's only to start at the front for a 19 lap race, but it's so competitive.
05:29And once again, Formula 1 is not following the script.
05:33How about the world champion? Does he take it away from Lewis Hamilton?
05:36Oh, he misses out by less than two hundredths of a second.
05:40And the two titans are at the front of the field.
05:43There's a seven time world champion and a four time world champion.
05:47Welcome to Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton.
05:50He's the driver to beat in the opening sprint of the year.
05:54Over the line goes Albon to eighth position.
05:57Yuki Tsunoda will complete our order. He's got the hairpin at 14.
06:03Hamilton, Verstappen, Piastri, Leclerc, Russell, Norris in sixth.
06:08No one would have predicted that.
06:10Now, where does Yuki slot into this order as we complete our top 10?
06:14Eighth place is a great lap.
06:16Where are we?
06:17San Diego.
06:18Really?
06:19Yeah.
06:21Good job, San Diego.
06:25Mega job.
06:32And that is why Lando pitted.
06:34He was on for a pole lap.
06:36Had to throw everything out of the final corners.
06:38You have to take some risks.
06:39And he's made a big mistake.
06:40Sicked on the grid.
06:42Max Verstappen, not with the pace overall.
06:44He's only two hundredths of a second away.
06:46And the support that Lewis Hamilton has is outrageous.
