The Hungarian Grand Prix - Qualifying

:01:22. > :01:26.speed. The Iron Curtain was raised, and modern society revealed. And

:01:26. > :01:36.one man arrives, having gone from dominating the grid two faltering

:01:36. > :01:44.as others flourish. Past grandeur forgotten in a heartbeat and

:01:44. > :01:54.repetitions can turn on the smallest of margins. This is the

:01:54. > :01:56.

:01:56. > :02:00.sport that likes to bite back. So what is next? Welcome to Budapest...

:02:00. > :02:07.And Buchan to the fans and we love a pink shirt on the programme. The

:02:07. > :02:11.heart of Europe, and the season, nine races to go. Nine races to

:02:11. > :02:17.catch Sebastian Vettel. If any driver would -- if any travel catch

:02:17. > :02:21.him, it will take plenty of skill? The first sector is fairly

:02:21. > :02:26.straightforward with the big brake into to number one but the key is

:02:26. > :02:29.the middle sector, a lot of relentless high-speed corners and

:02:29. > :02:34.that is where Red Bull were dominant last year. Half a second

:02:34. > :02:38.quicker. Will they have that this year? We shall see. Want 0.2

:02:38. > :02:43.seconds ahead of the rival. Do you remember the physical effects when

:02:43. > :02:48.you first raced here? I actually crashed out of this race, I got so

:02:48. > :02:52.tired! Especially that middle sector, it is relentless, corner

:02:52. > :02:59.after corner and the nature of the turns is that you are scrubbing the

:02:59. > :03:06.speed or on the rear axles and that makes you vulnerable. Let's talk

:03:06. > :03:09.about one driver in particular. Sebastian Vettel, comes on only one

:03:09. > :03:13.win in the past three. It has turned on its head and we had seen

:03:13. > :03:17.Mark Webber sliding all over the players and in the final practice

:03:17. > :03:24.this morning, Lewis Hamilton was 1.5 seconds off the pace. Maybe

:03:24. > :03:28.going back the way of Sebastian Vettel? Let's be clear. Sebastien

:03:28. > :03:32.and Red Bull dominated the latter have of last year's season and you

:03:32. > :03:37.must look at the championship, with the racism that various things and

:03:37. > :03:42.it's falling into place. And I think it will continue for Red Bull.

:03:42. > :03:46.We will see. With pride 200 miles in that direction and Sarajevo in

:03:46. > :03:56.the opposite, we are in the heart of things. The fans come from all

:03:56. > :04:21.

:04:21. > :04:25.over Europe for a taste of Formula Let's look at the calendar. WE'RE

:04:25. > :04:29.more than have played through the season. Looking at the running for

:04:29. > :04:39.the rest of the year, this time last year Red Bull picked up 10

:04:39. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:44.podiums and four wins. They will be confident? Look at these races,

:04:44. > :04:51.other races, the straight circuit races like Singapore and then later,

:04:51. > :04:55.Abu Dhabi, I really fear for the other teams. If anyone had to pull

:04:55. > :05:00.something out of the back, it would be a big surprise. The championship

:05:00. > :05:06.falls into place for Red Bull. Evidence of pressure came this

:05:06. > :05:09.morning with news that the engineers had broken their curfew?

:05:09. > :05:13.There is a working time limit on the teams that they have agreed to

:05:13. > :05:16.it and you have two or three jokers you can play for you can work

:05:16. > :05:21.beyond that time to make sure that the mechanics and engineers get at

:05:21. > :05:26.least six hours rest between finishing one day. And starting the

:05:26. > :05:29.next. They used on a third jokers to get the Configuration back to a

:05:29. > :05:32.previous specification they used at other races. That shows that as

:05:32. > :05:39.things have evolved, upgrades at work and other tracks are not

:05:39. > :05:43.working here. And they seem to have found the form again. We do look at

:05:43. > :05:49.Sebastian's championship lead but it was such a lead. You need

:05:49. > :05:59.determination, aggression, self- belief. All the things that one man

:05:59. > :06:00.

:06:00. > :06:04.demonstrated one week ago. Cool! The German Grand Prix is underway.

:06:04. > :06:11.And its neck and neck. Hamilton takes the lead. Sebastian Vettel

:06:11. > :06:21.goes down the outside. It is so tight on the apex. This is a replay.

:06:21. > :06:23.

:06:23. > :06:31.He had a terrible start. Fernando Alonso. Off the racetrack!

:06:31. > :06:36.Turn number one. He takes third place. Uncharacteristic mistake

:06:36. > :06:44.from Sebastian Vettel, the one rule on the changing track is don't

:06:44. > :06:51.touch the white line. And Heidfeld is off the road. Nick Heidfeld was

:06:51. > :06:58.entitled to put his car down there. The pace is still good. Look after

:06:58. > :07:07.the tyres. He has gone too deep. Lewis Hamilton is back in the

:07:07. > :07:12.slipstream and he comes up the inside. Mercedes against McLaren.

:07:12. > :07:20.He has gone too deep. Jensen Button takes the position. We have to

:07:20. > :07:28.retire the car. We have a hydraulics problem. What a shame. I

:07:28. > :07:34.have not seen as many mistakes from Sebastian Vettel... It is a pit

:07:34. > :07:40.stop race. Here we go. Look at that, he is ahead, Ferrari were too slow

:07:40. > :07:48.and Sebastian Vettel takes position going into the final lap. Lewis

:07:48. > :07:55.Hamilton wins the German Grand Prix. Wonderful drive. He described as

:07:55. > :08:02.one of his best but Lewis Hamilton was replaced... No! This is the

:08:02. > :08:06.engineer, going through the final checks. There was something has

:08:06. > :08:11.struggled with the brakes so far, he looks really relaxed and

:08:11. > :08:15.confident. He then struggled throughout the practice session,

:08:15. > :08:21.finishing 1.5 seconds of the place and came onto the team radio after

:08:21. > :08:25.this moment to say that the brakes were a real problem. Let's go on

:08:25. > :08:30.board. He describes himself as braking through a wall of caution

:08:30. > :08:34.this weekend and last weekend. What do you read into that? If anybody

:08:34. > :08:41.was to look at this analytically, he seemed to get away from what we

:08:41. > :08:46.have seen before. Manic decisions and silly errors. We saw a

:08:46. > :08:50.rejuvenated Lewis Hamilton last week, I loved all of that. And I

:08:50. > :08:54.liked it as a spectacle. He was like a reborn man and if he can

:08:54. > :08:58.continue like that, we are in for a really exciting season. If the team

:08:58. > :09:04.said they cannot trust what happens anymore because they thought Lewis

:09:04. > :09:08.Hamilton was there were in Germany and he won the race. He was quick

:09:08. > :09:12.this weekend and they think this might make and store. All of these

:09:12. > :09:17.teams, retires and as that rubber goes down through Friday, it shows

:09:17. > :09:21.some people in a good like -- good light and on Saturday it works the

:09:21. > :09:25.opposite way. It'll be interesting to see if anyone can challenge Red

:09:25. > :09:29.Bull. Plenty of the drivers have said, I'm not interested in the

:09:29. > :09:33.standings. Trust me, they know and if you don't, look at this.

:09:33. > :09:38.Sebastian Vettel is dominant over Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton

:09:38. > :09:45.moved into third place. And with the constructors championship,

:09:45. > :09:53.there is a dominant margin for Red Bull, there at the top with 355

:09:53. > :10:03.points over McLaren. Plenty of news about former No 1. Here is Lee

:10:03. > :10:04.

:10:04. > :10:07.McKenzie with all the on-track action... Red Bull might have

:10:07. > :10:11.Saturday's wrapped up at the last couple of races have proved they

:10:11. > :10:15.are not unbeatable on a Sunday. Fernando Alonso's performance at

:10:15. > :10:24.Silverstone and Lewis Hamilton's victory in Germany has got Red Bull

:10:24. > :10:28.on the attack. We're winning much more and getting beaten but

:10:28. > :10:35.arguably, it is those races, like the last one or two, were we can

:10:35. > :10:39.lose most and improve our car for the next couple of races. McLaren

:10:39. > :10:41.were still smiling after the victory less than a week ago and

:10:41. > :10:46.Lewis Hamilton even managed to watch the German race back in the

:10:46. > :10:52.few days he had off. It was a second grand prix I have ever

:10:52. > :10:56.watched. It felt great, I was smiling happily for a couple of

:10:56. > :11:02.days and I was constantly asking a brother, can you believe we won the

:11:02. > :11:10.Grand Prix at the weekend? He said possibly. He is very chilled, for

:11:11. > :11:14.me, I still have to pinch myself. Jensen Button scored his first

:11:14. > :11:22.victory at the Hungaroring in 2006 so it's fitting he celebrates his

:11:22. > :11:27.200 grand prix at the track. the drivers, to get to that

:11:27. > :11:32.milestone, it is just a number for us. But I think it makes you look

:11:32. > :11:40.back at what you have achieved and the good and the band and the ugly

:11:40. > :11:44.through the career. And it comes to a potential star quality, most

:11:44. > :11:47.experts single out Kobayashi and Perez. Sauber were happy to

:11:47. > :11:53.announce that both drivers will stay with the Swiss outfit for next

:11:53. > :11:57.season. We are in a very good position for next year, I am very

:11:57. > :12:02.confident here and I am looking forward to finishing my season on a

:12:02. > :12:05.high and preparing very well for next season. Finally, a revised

:12:05. > :12:09.calendar for next year has been announced with Turkey being dropped

:12:10. > :12:15.after seven years as a Formula One venue. And there is one you race,

:12:15. > :12:20.the US GP in Austin. The proposed calendar starts and Australia and

:12:20. > :12:24.finishes nine months later in Brazil. Felipe Massa will be

:12:24. > :12:29.disappointed here. He has won three times of the Turkish Grand Prix but

:12:29. > :12:33.he's off the calendar for 2012. It was never embraced out there?

:12:33. > :12:37.Istanbul was a magical place to go. We had great fun doing several

:12:37. > :12:42.pieces for the TV show and I actually loved it and it was a

:12:42. > :12:47.great track. But the people, it's too far away, outside the city and

:12:47. > :12:52.it never was impressed. I am disappointed that it's not there.

:12:52. > :12:56.We can see the revised US Grand Prix. And sure enough -- the

:12:56. > :13:00.drivers are relieved because that was initially in June and if we

:13:00. > :13:07.look at the latest photographs from the circuit of America's, it would

:13:07. > :13:10.have been the wrong time of year? In Canada the temperature was 41

:13:10. > :13:14.degrees in June and rising so in the middle of the season, he would

:13:14. > :13:19.have the risk of tyres melting at the track braking up. November is

:13:19. > :13:27.right time. And you can see the pits and the paddocks. These photos

:13:27. > :13:32.were taken this week. They will keep us up to date. And you are off

:13:32. > :13:38.to Texas to drive a Formula One car. Indeed, everyone is taking two-and-

:13:38. > :13:43.a-half weeks away and I'm doing a demonstration and heading down to

:13:43. > :13:47.Texas to do downtown Boston and try to get a flavour of Formula One.

:13:47. > :13:52.And sure the people. Make some noise and smoke. We were surely

:13:52. > :13:56.that. And I will be working and Eddie will be on holiday, as per

:13:56. > :13:59.usual. If you come to the fans, hello everybody, they would not do

:13:59. > :14:02.we get the chance to stand here because years gone by, this would

:14:02. > :14:07.have been the refuelling ring and that has gone because we no longer

:14:07. > :14:17.have the in risk refuelling. It does not mean that fuel is a longer

:14:17. > :14:41.

:14:41. > :14:46.important. We decided we should do they test the Ferrari cars. Today

:14:46. > :14:53.they are testing the Ferrari fuel. Which is quicker, F1 feel, or road

:14:53. > :15:00.fuel? We thought a double one world champion would help us find out.

:15:00. > :15:05.Good to see. How are you? The drums behind us tell us that we are

:15:05. > :15:11.testing High Street against high testing High Street against high

:15:11. > :15:17.octane, what is the plan? We try to prove an show everybody that we can

:15:17. > :15:21.use the normal fuelled that we use in all the races, and then we will

:15:21. > :15:26.put the normal feel that we can find in the field station, and show

:15:26. > :15:31.we can still run it. The fuel difference between the two is going

:15:31. > :15:36.to be different. This has never been done before. You are something

:15:36. > :15:45.of a guinea pig. You will either be 100 metres down the road, or you

:15:45. > :15:50.will be quicker! I think quicker will be difficult. I expect some

:15:50. > :16:00.kind of less power, but not too much. If there is a big problem,

:16:00. > :16:23.

:16:23. > :16:33.hopefully you cut, and we don't I wasn't really pressing the

:16:33. > :16:40.

:16:40. > :16:44.emptying the car, removing the fuel. We will fit the standard fuel that

:16:44. > :16:49.we find in the station, and hopefully it will work. What do you

:16:49. > :16:53.think will be different? When you put your foot down, you will not

:16:53. > :16:57.get the immediate response? It can be a bit different, there could be

:16:57. > :17:02.a problem with the pick up and the exit at the corners. I guess there

:17:02. > :17:12.will be less power. Maybe there is not the full power available, and

:17:12. > :17:38.

:17:38. > :17:45.we will see. Hopefully it is not second difference, but we will hear

:17:45. > :17:49.from the man himself when he comes in. How different did it feel?

:17:49. > :17:56.Nothing different, I was surprised. In terms of power, I felt no

:17:56. > :18:01.difference. We need to be in a race situation, maybe the biggest

:18:01. > :18:02.problem was the pick up. I think problem was the pick up. I think

:18:02. > :18:11.the maps are not optimised for that the maps are not optimised for that

:18:11. > :18:18.Let's go through the to military and get some analysis. The blue is

:18:18. > :18:23.the standard fuel. The top speed is similar, or even better with the

:18:23. > :18:32.standard. We need some re- mapping and work with the engine dies.

:18:32. > :18:38.is a remarkable message for people. They think it is alien but the fuel

:18:38. > :18:48.you can have in your car is as good, if not better. It is amazing.

:18:48. > :18:49.

:18:49. > :18:53.What ever the fuel Fernando is using today, it is working. He was

:18:54. > :18:58.second in the financial -- the final practice session. We had a

:18:58. > :19:05.look at a future GP3 drivers looking for superstardom in Formula

:19:05. > :19:13.1, -- looking at a few. We are concentrating a GP2, the feed a

:19:13. > :19:19.series to this sport. -- feeder series. Sandberg was on pole in

:19:19. > :19:29.Monaco, then he stalled the car. -- Sam Byrd. This is him finishing on

:19:29. > :19:31.

:19:31. > :19:34.Welcome to the GP2 paddock, this is where you will find some of the

:19:34. > :19:39.stars of the future. It is the level below Formula 1 in every

:19:39. > :19:45.sense. We can see the Formula 1 paddock. We spoke in Germany about

:19:45. > :19:52.how far a DP three fell from the top, you can see the climb is still

:19:52. > :19:57.pretty steep -- how far GP3 felt from the top. It takes a lot of

:19:57. > :20:01.skill and in some cases, a lot of cash, to make it down here. Some of

:20:01. > :20:06.these drivers are paying about 1.5 million euros for the pleasure of

:20:06. > :20:12.driving in 10 rounds. One driver who has proved he has enough talent

:20:12. > :20:15.is Sandberg, and we are going to interrupt. -- Sam Byrd. Nice to see

:20:15. > :20:20.you. Tell us about your career going so far and what you're doing

:20:20. > :20:27.down here. At the moment, driving in GP2, what has been going quite

:20:27. > :20:32.well. I drove last year and came 5th. Before that, it was Formula

:20:32. > :20:35.Three, Formula Renault and Formula BMW. You are being backed by

:20:35. > :20:39.Mercedes comedy did a young driver test after Abu Dhabi. Do they

:20:39. > :20:45.support you in this and help you get up the giant hell to Formula 1?

:20:45. > :20:49.They don't necessarily back me in this. They are helping me with

:20:49. > :20:54.little things. I tend to work in the simulator and doing other

:20:54. > :20:59.things like Goodwood, demo days and a bit of testing here and there. My

:20:59. > :21:03.main focus at the moment is with GP2. The aim is to get to Formula 1

:21:03. > :21:07.with Mercedes. I am working a bit with them at the moment. Nice to

:21:07. > :21:16.talk to you, thank you. We are going to continue down the paddock.

:21:16. > :21:20.It is not just drivers who start down here. Arden is owned by

:21:20. > :21:25.Christian Horner's family, run by his father, Gary. When I first

:21:25. > :21:35.started this job in 2004 in hungry, Christian Horner was running this

:21:35. > :21:35.

:21:35. > :21:41.team, Tonio Liuzzi was driving. But became GP2. One of the guys behind

:21:41. > :21:49.the wheel, Julian Palmer. This is your first season in GP2, how is it

:21:49. > :21:54.going? In is going OK, there is a tough field. It is my first year,

:21:54. > :21:57.had some top tens, not been going as well as I would have liked, but

:21:57. > :22:02.it is a two or three-year programme. Just chipping away and improving

:22:02. > :22:05.all the time. You are with a good team that has a good history. How

:22:05. > :22:11.far in advance do you have to look? You have to be patient at the same

:22:11. > :22:15.time as being ambitious? Definitely, Arden is a great team to be with. I

:22:15. > :22:19.have been lucky to have the backing and hopefully it will be a two or

:22:19. > :22:24.three-year programme. There are some experienced guys in the field.

:22:24. > :22:28.It is chipping away and not getting too impatient. It is tough, the

:22:28. > :22:32.field is close, the cars are all the same. To stand out in this

:22:32. > :22:35.series is really hard. At the moment, working all the time.

:22:35. > :22:43.Hopefully next year, if I can come back, I will be a lot more

:22:43. > :22:49.competitive. Thank you for talking Back-up to the top of the hill, and

:22:50. > :22:53.back to you. From two men fighting for the chance to get into Formula

:22:53. > :22:58.1, two two men who will be fighting for a decent place on the grid in

:22:58. > :23:04.qualifying. We are in the Sauber garage which is a real treat. No

:23:04. > :23:11.clues as to the first driver I am going to speak to. Speedy Gonzales,

:23:11. > :23:15.Sergio Perez's belt on. Is the young fast Mexican in Formula 1 and

:23:15. > :23:20.you can see him here. It is never nice to but in, but let me get a

:23:20. > :23:25.quick word. These guys have some big news. Sorry to butt him.

:23:25. > :23:33.Confirmation you are staying in Formula 1 for a another year. How

:23:33. > :23:38.would you assess this first year in Formula 1? Very up and down. I had

:23:38. > :23:42.a very good start of the season. I have been up to speed since the

:23:42. > :23:49.first moment. This is very important, to make it in Formula 1.

:23:49. > :23:54.From the first race, be up to speed. I had my accident. I was going with

:23:54. > :23:59.good momentum. I had my accident. It has not been easy to come back.

:23:59. > :24:04.In the beginning it was quite difficult. I was still getting

:24:04. > :24:09.dizzy in the car. It is getting better. It is interesting, how

:24:09. > :24:15.different your approach is to your team-mate, Kamui Kobayashi. He

:24:15. > :24:19.likes to hair long. You are more of a tortoise, slower speeds, but last

:24:19. > :24:24.stops, looking after the tyres, and it is working for you. An

:24:24. > :24:31.interesting approach, do you enjoy it as much? Every race is different.

:24:31. > :24:36.Some races you have to attack. Like my team-mate was that some races,

:24:36. > :24:45.he has to conserve tyres. It is always a different approach. This

:24:45. > :24:49.is all about Formula 1, to be able to change the strategy. It makes it

:24:49. > :24:54.interesting for me. Something I was not used to in GP2, or the other

:24:54. > :24:58.categories. I am enjoying it a lot. Good, we are enjoying watching,

:24:58. > :25:04.nice to see you. These guys have a real battle on their hands. They

:25:04. > :25:07.are fighting with Williams and Force India for fifth or sixth in

:25:07. > :25:11.the championship but I am not sure what is going on here. It looks

:25:11. > :25:15.like Kamui Kobayashi is giving a massage to one of his members would

:25:15. > :25:19.it shouldn't you be trying to relax and come down, what is this about?

:25:19. > :25:26.This is my physio, and he needs to relax now. He is a bit nervous

:25:26. > :25:31.before qualifying. I tried to give him a relax. How was that? It is

:25:31. > :25:36.great. A bit aggressive, but that is what we like with him. I am

:25:36. > :25:40.quite happy with him, yes. Talking about aggressive, I am going to sit

:25:40. > :25:45.here and talk to you. We love watching you. Last G went from the

:25:45. > :25:49.back of the grid to finish 9th. -- last year you went. Do you think

:25:49. > :25:55.that the announcement is that your team principal loves your

:25:55. > :26:04.aggressive driving under way you raised. I have to be very proud.

:26:04. > :26:08.If Formula 1 driver cannot make mistakes. It is very tough. At the

:26:08. > :26:13.moment, I try to make aggressive races. Everybody is excited, I am

:26:13. > :26:19.very happy. I have to be very proud. Depending on how qualifying goes,

:26:19. > :26:24.do you go to sleep, whether you are starting eigth or ninth, or 18th

:26:24. > :26:31.and 19th, you know your real skill comes during the race? You excel in

:26:31. > :26:36.your race craft. I think it is a compromise. It is important to

:26:36. > :26:46.qualify but we have to conserve the tyres. It is not everything, to

:26:46. > :26:51.qualify. I tried to compromise and not to use tyres. We cannot use all

:26:51. > :26:54.our possibility in qualifying. Let's see where we are. You are

:26:54. > :27:02.racing against Force India, they are looking fast, can you beat

:27:02. > :27:10.them? We try. Yesterday, this is what we talked about, this is the

:27:10. > :27:16.target. I think this is our target for today. See you after qualifying

:27:16. > :27:23.for a massage? For sure, you want? Maybe not, not if you are too

:27:23. > :27:27.aggressive. Thanks. We will see how he gets on today.

:27:27. > :27:32.The Japanese hair and the Mexican tortoise at the Swiss team. Two

:27:32. > :27:39.different approaches but it does seem to be working. You mentioned

:27:39. > :27:44.it, the Han the tortoise. Kobayashi is all aggression -- the hair and

:27:45. > :27:49.the tortoise. I think what Sergio has show from the first race, he

:27:49. > :27:52.can look after his tyres, he can play the long game. That is why

:27:52. > :28:01.they have decided to announce them as the drivers for next year so

:28:01. > :28:06.early. Can they finish ahead of Williams and Force India? They can.

:28:06. > :28:11.It is a great battle. For me, Force India seemed to be on the up.

:28:11. > :28:18.Williams, I don't see that yet. The real battle for the second half of

:28:18. > :28:22.the season, Force India, so I am looking forward to it. We were told

:28:22. > :28:26.there would be rain this weekend, the sun has come out and it is

:28:26. > :28:36.blazing in Budapest. How many tyres do you think Formula 1 gets through

:28:36. > :28:48.

:28:48. > :28:51.in any given season? No, far more Formula 1 drivers have 72 tyres

:28:51. > :28:55.available for a Grand Prix weekend. But they still have to use them

:28:55. > :29:00.pretty carefully. This is how it works.

:29:00. > :29:04.Before first practice, each driver has 11 sets of dry tyres available.

:29:04. > :29:11.Six sets of the harder and more durable prime compound, and five

:29:11. > :29:15.sets of the soft and faster option compound. At the end of free

:29:15. > :29:21.practice one, each driver must hand back one set of the harder prime

:29:21. > :29:26.tyres. That is to make sure there is plenty of track action, even if

:29:26. > :29:30.the track is slippery and dirty. At the end of free practice to, they

:29:30. > :29:34.must hand back to more sets of dry tyres. At the end of the free

:29:34. > :29:39.practice three, each driver must and back another set of the harder

:29:39. > :29:44.Prime compound, and a further set of the softer option compound,

:29:44. > :29:49.ensuring plenty of track action for the fans on qualifying morning.

:29:49. > :29:53.This leaves just six sets of tyres for all of qualifying and the race

:29:53. > :29:57.itself, three of each compound. This is why drivers have to avoid

:29:57. > :30:02.damaging their tyres, or using up the softer, faster tyres too

:30:02. > :30:06.quickly. It would compromise their good position and race strategy.

:30:06. > :30:11.They also have four sets of the intermediate tyre, for when the

:30:11. > :30:15.track is too wet for slicks, and three sets of the full wets tyre,

:30:15. > :30:20.for when there is standing water and heavy rain. Whether they are

:30:20. > :30:30.used or not, every tyre is ground- up and recycled. It is a major task,

:30:30. > :30:35.

:30:35. > :30:38.to supply 50,000 tyres to the and younger. He's almost as young

:30:38. > :30:42.as Sebastian Vettel, the youngest man to make his debut on a race

:30:42. > :30:46.weekend. And the youngest on a podium and winner and as well as

:30:46. > :30:52.that, the youngest Formula One world champion, now defending his

:30:52. > :31:02.champion with aplomb. But others to questions about him? Here's Eddie

:31:02. > :31:03.

:31:03. > :31:08.Jordan... -- or the still questions? Sebastian Vettel, world

:31:08. > :31:15.champion. The youngest world champion in history. This season,

:31:15. > :31:23.the leader by 77 points. Sebastien has been almost flawless over the

:31:23. > :31:28.last 18 months. But look closely enough and you will find witnesses.

:31:28. > :31:38.Last weekend at his home grand prix, his customary one-lap mastery let

:31:38. > :31:39.

:31:39. > :31:44.him down. He goes over the line, only third! Then Germany, off the

:31:44. > :31:51.front row for the first time this year, he was made to look mortal.

:31:51. > :31:56.haven't seen the spelling mistakes! It was a Mir sub plot. Leaving the

:31:56. > :32:01.Thrills to be poor for -- to be provided by former world champions.

:32:01. > :32:07.And with that defeat can questions. He doesn't look quite like the same

:32:07. > :32:10.driver, quick but not good in traffic. We have all witnessed

:32:10. > :32:14.bottom, Fernando Alonso and Hamilton coming through and winning

:32:14. > :32:21.races and all of the six wins from Sebastian Vettel have come from the

:32:21. > :32:28.fund. He can race wheel to wheel. He has only ever won at the front.

:32:28. > :32:38.But he has come unstuck. This is the last thing they needed. They

:32:38. > :32:44.

:32:44. > :32:48.come together. Going Out! He has gone off! He turned too late! He

:32:48. > :32:53.leads the Grand Prix. Only twice has he won a Grand Prix when not

:32:53. > :32:58.leading into the first corner. The opposition want Sebastian Vettel to

:32:58. > :33:02.slug it out, toe-to-toe, but maybe he is just too clever for that.

:33:02. > :33:06.There is an alternative argument, the world champion is doing a

:33:06. > :33:10.sensible thing. But in the fastest car on the front row and out of

:33:10. > :33:20.harm's way. Make no mistake - Sebastian Vettel will be giving

:33:20. > :33:22.

:33:22. > :33:26.everything to start from light here. Few would bet against that.

:33:26. > :33:32.Christian, can he cut it in traffic? Absolutely, your piece did

:33:32. > :33:37.not pick up on if you go back to Melbourne in the past, if you look

:33:37. > :33:41.at Jensen Button and the three cars he passed on the out lap in

:33:41. > :33:46.Barcelona, the races he has won this year, on a least three he had

:33:46. > :33:51.to make decisive moves. But we have seen Hamilton and Fernando Alonso

:33:51. > :33:56.are outperforming their cars. I don't recall when Sebastian Vettel

:33:56. > :34:00.has done that. Go back to Monaco and think of the huge pressure he

:34:00. > :34:04.soaked up for half of the race on a set of tyres that should not have

:34:04. > :34:08.been in the car. Barcelona, Lewis Hamilton was putting him under

:34:08. > :34:12.massive pressure and he has the ability to soak that up. It would

:34:12. > :34:15.be hard to say that he isn't a racer, he started at the front of

:34:15. > :34:19.the grid so much more often than the other guys, who have had to

:34:19. > :34:25.come through the field, were his starting position over the last

:34:25. > :34:28.couple of years has obviously been pretty much on the front two rows.

:34:28. > :34:36.It leads me to a question, because he is starting at the front, does

:34:36. > :34:41.that impair his racer ability? don't think so, when in the league,

:34:41. > :34:47.he is absolutely flawless, he is so calm in the cockpit and he has the

:34:47. > :34:53.ability to think outside of driving the car as well. When required, he

:34:53. > :34:58.will go wheel to wheel with any driver, 7th place at Silverstone,

:34:58. > :35:02.passing Adrian Sutil on the penultimate lap, that contributed

:35:02. > :35:07.to his World Championship. But the majority of the races we have seen

:35:07. > :35:14.him in, he has been running at the front or pretty near. You talked

:35:14. > :35:18.about Silverstone, this year, the decision we heard so clearly about

:35:18. > :35:23.the hold station, at what stage did he say he would like you to say to

:35:23. > :35:27.the team? He did not demand anything, that was a team decision

:35:27. > :35:36.at the end of the day because be potentially had everything to lose

:35:36. > :35:40.and the last thing we wanted was a repeat of the Istanbul situation.

:35:40. > :35:45.But over 19 races, it is going to be difficult to maintain the kind

:35:45. > :35:51.of level he has. He has won six races already and finished second

:35:51. > :35:55.in three and one 4th place, which is an incredible score. The two

:35:55. > :36:00.drivers you have got are renowned winners, you obviously showed signs

:36:00. > :36:03.you were afraid they would crash? At that stage, we only had less

:36:03. > :36:07.than a handful of laps left and we could not challenge Fernando Alonso

:36:07. > :36:11.and were under no pressure from behind and as we saw with Felipe

:36:11. > :36:15.Massa and Hamilton, to get so close to finishing up in the gravel, at

:36:15. > :36:18.that point in the race, it is conflicting with the desires of the

:36:18. > :36:26.drivers but from a team point of view, we thought, as any other team

:36:26. > :36:31.would have done, let us make sure we bank these points. How do you

:36:31. > :36:38.answer these fans, do they believe the team is showing favouritism to

:36:38. > :36:44.Sebastien? Within the team, we have equal status with drivers, we gave

:36:44. > :36:49.both drivers absolutely the same equipment, the best we can, and

:36:49. > :36:52.Mark and Sebastien know that and we try to allow them to earn their

:36:52. > :36:56.status on the track and it's down to what they do on the circuit at

:36:56. > :37:02.the end of the day. Of course, people think, German driver,

:37:02. > :37:05.Austrian team, and that is, Sebastien has earned his results

:37:05. > :37:12.and Mark Webber deserves the results he has. Together, they make

:37:12. > :37:17.a very strong partnership that pushes each other very hard. Lewis

:37:17. > :37:21.Hamilton is such a very open person coming to see you, how do you

:37:21. > :37:26.answer people who say that was a decoy, just a smokescreen, you

:37:26. > :37:33.actually want to sign Jensen Button? Is there anybody else?!

:37:33. > :37:38.Both drivers are great. We're very happy with our drivers. You would

:37:38. > :37:42.be better asking them. I cannot answer that. All I can tell you is

:37:42. > :37:47.that Red Bull is very happy with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.

:37:47. > :37:52.I'm not sure they would speak to me after last week! Back to Jake

:37:52. > :38:00.Humphrey. I love his theories. A visit from Lewis Hamilton means you

:38:00. > :38:06.want to sign Jensen Button! You have been mentor, you talked about

:38:06. > :38:10.coming over and being star-struck. I think that question has nailed

:38:10. > :38:13.this, he has done most of his racing at the front, with Toro

:38:13. > :38:17.Rosso he was midfield but even then the car came good in the middle of

:38:17. > :38:20.the season. He won his first race at the Italian Grand Prix

:38:20. > :38:24.spectacularly. You have to judge someone after they have done lots

:38:24. > :38:29.of races and he is still relatively young. He is here to try to qualify

:38:29. > :38:34.and when. Talking about qualifying, you are about to disappear to the

:38:34. > :38:39.commentary box. Where is the time won and lost? Lots of slow corners.

:38:39. > :38:43.It's all about the middle sector, on the last sector drivers can

:38:43. > :38:48.influence but the first sector is about DRS and braking. And that

:38:48. > :38:51.middle sector is what the driver can really differentiate. A repeat

:38:51. > :38:56.of last week would be lovely? have different winners and Formula

:38:56. > :39:02.One is good for the sport. It was a stirring qualifying session last

:39:02. > :39:06.week. You have quite a way to go to the commentary box. And it's quite

:39:06. > :39:10.a journey for Vitaly Petrov to end up here, people said it was just a

:39:10. > :39:14.Russian pot of gold but last year he finished 5th and so for this

:39:14. > :39:24.year, more points than the whole of the 2010 season. Just look at the

:39:24. > :39:30.

:39:30. > :39:40.crowds. Thank you for giving us a time. Usually we have got rain in

:39:40. > :39:40.

:39:40. > :39:43.Hungary. In Russia it is even hotter. I can imagine. Turn No. 1,

:39:44. > :39:49.presumably this will be the main point for overtaking? The longest

:39:49. > :39:55.straight. Is there somewhere we can see you pulling moves? And what do

:39:55. > :40:00.my best. It is a tricky corner because it is 60 metres. And you

:40:00. > :40:04.should brake later and sometimes you don't take the apex so it comes

:40:04. > :40:10.down to just one metre, a little bit wider from the corner and don't

:40:10. > :40:17.tell anybody! We want broadcast this until after! One year ago we

:40:17. > :40:22.saw Michael Schumacher doing a very aggressive move. Since then, you

:40:22. > :40:27.have had some very up close and personal racing with Michael,

:40:27. > :40:35.Istanbul you came off better. of people ask me, what is going on

:40:35. > :40:40.with you and Michael? We can see there are some fans here. Hello! It

:40:40. > :40:45.is like the homeless because we have so many Russian fans here.

:40:45. > :40:55.Shall we check out turn at number four? This is a blind entry, 150

:40:55. > :40:55.

:40:55. > :41:04.mph. We start to brake slowly and I'm going to the corner. You cannot

:41:04. > :41:09.see this, even when you arrive you, you can see the corner. I used to

:41:09. > :41:17.brake just before this white line. That explains why I was not good in

:41:17. > :41:22.the first sector! Turn No. 9, 100 mph, no brakes. That is interesting.

:41:22. > :41:30.You don't brake on this corner? There are two ways, you can go with

:41:30. > :41:34.breaks or not brakes. I prefer not to. I don't know why. If I was

:41:34. > :41:37.compared with someone who brake and then aggressively on to the power...

:41:37. > :41:47.It looks like this is the attempt by Hungary to pitch for the

:41:47. > :41:51.

:41:51. > :41:56.Olympics! That is true. Are you farce? -- fast. Right, that is your

:41:56. > :42:02.first win in Budapest! That's a Russian helicopter. It does not

:42:02. > :42:08.look for a dynamic. Hopefully your car will be better and to have

:42:08. > :42:12.brought us to a point of interest, turn No. 14, 130 mph. This is what

:42:12. > :42:19.ers will be right in the middle of the corner. Any particular

:42:19. > :42:24.concerns? Don't activate this in the middle, we will wait until the

:42:24. > :42:29.exit because the corner is too fast and you will open the throttle late.

:42:29. > :42:33.It is difficult to open it in the middle. This tournament is

:42:33. > :42:39.completely different and all of the rounds. There is much more Greece

:42:39. > :42:47.here. This is different from that other parts of the track? This is

:42:47. > :42:51.where smart drivers will have to be careful? You need to go with his

:42:51. > :42:58.little power as you can because then there is the long straight.

:42:58. > :43:01.will be watching the on Sunday. Thank you. It was wet when we

:43:01. > :43:05.filmed this and the sun was blazing a few minutes ago and suddenly this

:43:05. > :43:12.great big cloud is looming over the circuit. And the wind can make a

:43:12. > :43:16.difference to the censor the cars? People don't quite get that. Just

:43:16. > :43:21.as big a comparison between wet and dry as a rose between still and

:43:21. > :43:26.windy. If it's on the side of the car it will blow that car off the

:43:26. > :43:30.track so the driver has to be really careful. No different to an

:43:30. > :43:33.aeroplane, how you plan. Let's talk about the session, we have seen the

:43:33. > :43:38.new teams getting knocked out regularly. There is such a tiny

:43:38. > :43:42.margin between soft and super soft. Some people wonder that that

:43:42. > :43:46.smaller teams might struggle with this will? It is a concern because

:43:46. > :43:49.until now it has been in the back of our minds but we have never had

:43:49. > :43:55.to talk about this but it is a concern, they are worried about the

:43:55. > :43:58.difference. Nevertheless, it will be properly looked at by the

:43:58. > :44:03.stewards and the drivers have behaved well this year and I don't

:44:03. > :44:07.see this being a massive issue in the end. We had this run the people

:44:07. > :44:14.ignore? If you don't make it into this percentage it doesn't matter?

:44:14. > :44:17.They don't ignore this, if there are some of chances, unusual

:44:17. > :44:19.circumstances, they will be given the benefit of the doubt and we

:44:19. > :44:24.want to see as many cars on the grid as possible, providing it is

:44:25. > :44:30.safe. And so do these fans. There could be the fall there? Who could

:44:30. > :44:34.slip? We are in for a surprise. I have not figured out which one that

:44:34. > :44:37.is. But because they don't want to declare who it is but I just feel

:44:37. > :44:43.at the moment that there are moments when SE Williams not going

:44:43. > :44:49.as well as they can do so maybe it's in that area. This time last

:44:49. > :44:53.week it was Kobayashi who was the fall guy. Who will be the 7th

:44:53. > :44:56.slowest? It's time for the first part of qualifying with David

:44:56. > :45:06.Coulthard and Martin Brundle. This is a qualifying for the Hungarian

:45:06. > :45:16.

:45:16. > :45:19.Grand Prix. Back-to-back races. Excellent. Just two days after

:45:19. > :45:29.Lewis Hamilton and his impressive victory in Germany, this is the

:45:29. > :45:35.

:45:35. > :45:42.qualifying. The 26th Hungarian in 1986. It is Round 11 of the 19

:45:43. > :45:46.race Formula 1 World Championship. The track is pretty much all

:45:46. > :45:55.corners, apart from one pit straight, of about 10 seconds of

:45:55. > :45:58.ball throttle. It is about braking, turning and getting the power on --

:45:58. > :46:04.full throttle. They call it Monaco without the houses. It is not

:46:04. > :46:08.really, but we like to say that. We will get into the track in a moment.

:46:08. > :46:15.It is a question of who is going to be fastest. It looks like it will

:46:15. > :46:19.be close again, will it be the raging Bulls, the prancing horses

:46:19. > :46:24.or the dancing McLaren's? Red Bull seem to have backtracked on their

:46:24. > :46:29.set up? They have had a couple of upgrades that have been put on the

:46:29. > :46:34.car and the last couple of Grand Prix. The feeling was it was not

:46:34. > :46:37.working on this track. You have to be careful, with Friday running,

:46:37. > :46:43.because you have a green a track which does not have any rubber laid

:46:44. > :46:49.down on it from previous events and races. They have decided to take

:46:49. > :46:53.off a couple of those upgrades. They broke the curfew, used one of

:46:53. > :46:57.their jokers, to allow the mechanics to work late. They seem

:46:57. > :47:02.to have found a lot better form this morning. What looked like it

:47:02. > :47:08.was going McLaren's way now looks like it has swung back in favour of

:47:08. > :47:12.Red Bull. Conditions are now very windy, the tact from picture --

:47:12. > :47:17.track temperature is higher. It is getting cloudy so maybe it will

:47:17. > :47:22.decrease. I was talking to two McLaren people and they were loving

:47:22. > :47:27.the clouds coming in. They say it is all about who can get the one

:47:27. > :47:32.flying lap that is available out of the super soft tyres. They lose

:47:32. > :47:37.about a half a second after that. They are pretty nervous. They say

:47:37. > :47:42.any one of six cars could be on pole position. We saw in free

:47:42. > :47:48.practice, Lewis Hamilton, when he tried to use the super soft tyres,

:47:48. > :47:52.went straight on at the first corner. Ted has got some more news.

:47:52. > :47:57.Thank you, did I miss anything? Just updating you on the Lewis

:47:57. > :48:02.Hamilton issue, it was brake material. He has done what he did

:48:02. > :48:06.at the Nurburgring which is changed the brake pads and discs. He has

:48:06. > :48:13.gone back to Brymbo which she feels is a better material and easier to

:48:14. > :48:17.control. Lewis Hamilton is hard on brakes. Just looking as some of the

:48:18. > :48:22.other drivers in trouble, Heidfeld had fuel pressure problems and only

:48:22. > :48:26.managed a few laps. Paul di Resta felt the car was unsettled around

:48:26. > :48:30.him as the wind picks up, and he seems to have lost pace in the

:48:31. > :48:34.Force India. Sebastien Buemi has a five place penalty which he will

:48:34. > :48:42.expand on for the grid tomorrow, but we're expecting one run from

:48:42. > :48:47.him as he attempts to save tyres. Thank you. What is this about?

:48:47. > :48:57.Let's put the fans and the beer was on the brake pedal? Brake material,

:48:57. > :49:01.

:49:01. > :49:05.carbon fibre. The process of making them takes a couple of months. You

:49:05. > :49:10.heard Ted mentioning carbon industry, an American company, who

:49:10. > :49:15.have been supplying Formula 1 for many years, and their competitors.

:49:15. > :49:20.The feel of those different types of Briggs, one will give a slightly

:49:20. > :49:26.more attacking field. More tricky to deal with when you first it the

:49:26. > :49:30.brakes -- attacking field -- the different types of brakes. It

:49:30. > :49:40.really comes down to drive her choice on a given day, and how the

:49:40. > :49:45.

:49:45. > :49:50.driver feels like hammering the required. I preferred a softer,

:49:50. > :49:55.easier brake material, so I didn't have too many surprises. They start

:49:55. > :50:01.to fade as you go a bit further into the braking zone. It is about

:50:01. > :50:07.car set-up and track layout, and driver preference. Heikki

:50:07. > :50:12.Kovalainen, beadily eyeing the green light -- eagerly eyeing.

:50:12. > :50:20.There it is, qualifying begins. We are looking to lose seven drivers

:50:20. > :50:29.before we go into qualifying to, the second part of the weekend. --

:50:29. > :50:34.before we go into Q2. RADIO: The strength is quite a bit

:50:34. > :50:38.smaller. Beds explain why the wind makes a

:50:38. > :50:42.difference, the wind direction and strength. The car is flying through

:50:42. > :50:49.the air, it is like an upside-down aeroplane. The aerodynamics are

:50:49. > :50:59.pushing the car into the racetrack. As U-turn through the corners, if

:50:59. > :51:00.

:51:00. > :51:04.you have got a 25 mph tailwind, you have 25 miles power less air. Less

:51:04. > :51:11.downforce. It is when you go through the corners that it really

:51:11. > :51:15.matters. The other thing is when travelling close to the track is

:51:15. > :51:19.slowed by his proximity to the ground. The front wing has a

:51:19. > :51:29.different speed of their passing over its surface than the rear wing

:51:29. > :51:33.

:51:33. > :51:37.would. -- bead of air -- speed of the car will be more sensitive to

:51:37. > :51:43.gusts of wind and that is what the drivers will feel, when they have

:51:43. > :51:48.the tail wind into the chicane. you have got a tail wind, you need

:51:48. > :51:55.to break earlier. You have got less downforce. Two cars on the track,

:51:55. > :52:05.looking for TV time for their sponsors. Ricardo and Tonio Liuzzi

:52:05. > :52:20.

:52:20. > :52:25.all running on Speroni tyres. -- going to be more than issue in the

:52:25. > :52:30.Grand Prix. We are projecting three stop races, not that that will be a

:52:30. > :52:34.big concern for HRT. Getting out there early and getting TV exposure

:52:35. > :52:41.time. They won't be expecting to make it through this first part of

:52:41. > :52:48.qualifying, but they have got to see what the gap is to their other

:52:48. > :52:52.new team competitors. And he is wanting to show that is faster than

:52:52. > :52:57.Liuzzi, I don't think he will end up in a Red Bull next year, because

:52:57. > :53:02.it seems like Mark Webber will stay there. He will be hoping he can

:53:02. > :53:07.show well enough to get into a Toro Rosso, if they decide to change

:53:07. > :53:11.their drivers. Toro Rosso have a difficult situation. It looked like

:53:11. > :53:16.Buemi was the strongest in the first half of the season, but

:53:16. > :53:19.Alguersauri has come back in the mid- part. It doesn't seem as if

:53:19. > :53:23.the mid- -- the performance issue is down to the driver. It would be

:53:23. > :53:33.a hard call to say, step aside, we are going to let a different driver

:53:33. > :53:36.

:53:36. > :53:41.in. He crosses the line in a 1:28.0. Opposition last year was sub 1:20.

:53:41. > :53:46.-- pole position. We have not seen anything like that paced this

:53:46. > :53:50.weekend but so many differences in terms of the DRS, KERS, Pirelli

:53:50. > :53:56.tyres, we don't have the F-duct, the double diffuses. It is

:53:56. > :54:06.difficult to compare apples with apples. -- we don't have the double

:54:06. > :54:09.

:54:09. > :54:13.last weekend? The rules are clear, you are allowed one defensive move,

:54:13. > :54:21.underbraking. Once you have taken that position, you must maintain it

:54:21. > :54:26.through the braking phase. Once Nick Heidfeld had positioned his

:54:26. > :54:30.car on the right, Buemi drifted into the normal line. There is no

:54:30. > :54:34.question that Nick was forced from the racetrack. Rules are rules and

:54:34. > :54:37.stewards are there to apply them. It would seem they are opening the

:54:37. > :54:42.rule book and giving the same penalty to Buemi that would be

:54:42. > :54:49.applied to any of the drivers. stewards have far more information

:54:49. > :54:59.than we have. They are into GPS, multiple that places, different

:54:59. > :55:07.

:55:07. > :55:17.camera angles, all matched to data is saying the tyres are coming in,

:55:17. > :55:20.

:55:20. > :55:23.that they have chosen for this round. They must bring two of the

:55:24. > :55:32.four compounds to this Grand Prix. More of that in a feature we are

:55:32. > :55:36.doing tomorrow. The second compound is the super soft. Sebastian Vettel

:55:36. > :55:41.looked infinitely more happy this morning than at any time through

:55:41. > :55:51.the German Grand Prix, and indeed, yesterday here. Yes, the mojos

:55:51. > :55:52.

:55:52. > :55:55.seems to be back. He has to deliver yesterday afternoon, trying to

:55:55. > :56:01.achieve the balance. A very difficult track, because of the

:56:01. > :56:11.nature of the middle sector, because it is corner after corner.

:56:11. > :56:15.

:56:15. > :56:25.A bit of traffic in front of Mark pits straight for Mark Webber,

:56:25. > :56:32.

:56:32. > :56:36.Alguersauri. Jenson has done a reasonable lap. Lewis Hamilton is

:56:36. > :56:42.flying. Michael Schumacher gets completely out of the way to allow

:56:43. > :56:52.clear access to the final corner for Button. Hamilton is on the move.

:56:53. > :56:55.

:56:55. > :56:59.He goes -- Button goes into second on the slower tyres. Around eight-

:56:59. > :57:06.tenths of a second slower than the super softs they will be using

:57:06. > :57:10.later. A reasonable marker. I think it is a good opening lap. Track

:57:10. > :57:14.temperature has dropped a bit. Lewis did not have an easy session

:57:14. > :57:19.this morning but it is a clear second quicker than he managed on

:57:20. > :57:27.the option tyre. It looks like McLaren could be in line for pole

:57:27. > :57:36.position. To rest are taking a completely different line. -- di

:57:36. > :57:46.Resta, taking a completely different line. 11 drivers have

:57:46. > :57:46.

:57:46. > :57:50.completed a flying lap. Make that 12 now. They were all pretty tidy

:57:50. > :57:54.in getting under way, they wanted others to go out there to pave the

:57:54. > :58:02.way and clean the track, where are possible. The track is a living

:58:02. > :58:11.thing. -- wherever possible. You can see how the track is rubber

:58:11. > :58:21.ring in. They all go down the left- hand side. Drivers hope to get an

:58:21. > :58:27.

:58:27. > :58:32.They are expecting more marbles than we experienced at the

:58:32. > :58:37.Nurburgring last weekend. The last few Grand Prix have been won from

:58:38. > :58:43.the dirty side of the track, because of issues during the race.

:58:43. > :58:47.11 of the 25 races have been won from pole position here. It is a

:58:47. > :58:54.street circuit style fact, that one. You really need a front-row grid

:58:54. > :58:59.slot. It has been won from 14th by Jenson Button in 2006, but that was

:58:59. > :59:04.on a day with lots of incidents, and would strike conditions. When

:59:04. > :59:07.we used to have morning warm-up, you would spend half of that

:59:07. > :59:12.session running down the right hand side of the track, to try to clean

:59:12. > :59:19.up the grid position. Way back, I think gills Villeneuve stopped in

:59:19. > :59:24.his grid slot during a warm-up session -- Giles Villeneuve. That

:59:24. > :59:28.would be an instant penalty nowadays. I used to just clear up

:59:28. > :59:35.the bit I was starting on in front of me, but it is quite difficult to

:59:35. > :59:40.spot those white lines. There is no warm-up any more, it is about

:59:40. > :59:46.getting the hot laps in, as we saw Nico Rosberg going through the

:59:46. > :59:50.foreground. Kobayashi, newly signed for next year in the Sauber team,

:59:50. > :59:55.along with Perez in the second Sauber. Gutierrez is the spare

:59:55. > :00:01.driver. Probably not quite the right word, I think reserve is the

:00:01. > :00:08.official term. You'd did say that drivers are like light bulbs.

:00:08. > :00:18.goes out, we put another one in. Alonso, in 18th, but on a very

:00:18. > :00:30.

:00:30. > :00:38.improve so who will be in the middle grid, the scalp that we will

:00:38. > :00:44.lose? Toro Rosso are looking vulnerable at this time. Sebastien

:00:44. > :00:47.Buemi has got a five plays grid drop after last weekend and that is

:00:47. > :00:54.applied after qualifying so he can still get through the various

:00:54. > :00:58.phases. And then to qualifying number two but we're expecting

:00:58. > :01:04.three stopped tomorrow and will he just save his tyres and start from

:01:04. > :01:06.the back of the grid? No, he will go all out and deliver the best

:01:06. > :01:13.qualifying he can't because he is still fighting for his players in

:01:13. > :01:17.that team. Ferrari, 4th and 5th and Ted has news. Ferrari hoping for

:01:17. > :01:24.the front rows start but not aiming for the pole position but not

:01:24. > :01:29.realistically. That is impressive and sector one, Fernando Alonso,

:01:29. > :01:32.all weekend he has been struggling in sector one so Ferrari spent the

:01:32. > :01:36.last three practice sessions concentrating on that, just getting

:01:36. > :01:41.that right on the first corner and getting traction all that long

:01:41. > :01:48.hairpin. It looks like they have nailed that. They're constantly

:01:48. > :01:51.evolve in the cars but as they rode out into the qualifying session,,

:01:51. > :01:56.they can change a tyre pressure, the front wing angle and the

:01:56. > :02:00.cooling and that is it. No significant changes. Mark Webber

:02:00. > :02:08.crosses the line, only in 5th place and that is the second effort he

:02:08. > :02:13.has had an those tyres. Rubens Barrichello, 14th at this time. And

:02:13. > :02:17.that was too personal bests on this flat so far, heading into that 180

:02:17. > :02:25.degree final corner and you have to patient with the throttle in the

:02:25. > :02:29.wrong. It is that the straight, the only place they can put that?

:02:29. > :02:33.the longest straight on the track, as we discovered with the track

:02:33. > :02:37.walk. It's actually a different surface on that last corner, very

:02:37. > :02:42.abrasive and the like of that corner really eats into the front

:02:42. > :02:46.tyres. The drivers not only have to be precise, they must be patient,

:02:46. > :02:50.too early on the throttle and you will just be working at the front

:02:50. > :02:55.left too hard. These Pirelli tyres are quite susceptible to hitting

:02:55. > :02:59.the wall, not such an issue this afternoon. It's all about that one-

:02:59. > :03:05.lap performance, as we see with Fernando Alonso, setting the first

:03:05. > :03:09.fastest sector. It is comparable to last year because of the lap times

:03:09. > :03:13.have been slower than last year, he listed all the differences and I am

:03:13. > :03:18.surprised by that because other tracks this year, the Times have

:03:18. > :03:23.been comparable. It is small corners here, really has got lots

:03:23. > :03:28.of grip, they are designed to win it faster and make strategy at

:03:28. > :03:32.least three stops. Why, with so many braking zones, were they not

:03:32. > :03:38.be on the same place? That is another one of those answers on a

:03:38. > :03:45.postcard! I don't have aligned for you on that. It's all about this

:03:45. > :03:51.day in history, last year does not matter. And Ted has got more news.

:03:51. > :03:56.Jarno Trulli, a 19th at the moment, that time was set on a hard tyres.

:03:56. > :04:00.That is impressive, he has got many one-second in his pocket but now

:04:00. > :04:04.they have fixed the powers during one that Lotus, it depends on what

:04:04. > :04:11.Sebastien Buemi does. If he doesn't go out, he has a chance of making

:04:11. > :04:16.it into Q 2. The marshal on turn number three. That is a scary thing

:04:16. > :04:21.to say. The cars are so fast through there. That is where Felipe

:04:21. > :04:26.Massa had his accident two years ago. He got whacked on the head

:04:26. > :04:30.from that torsion bar. He would only be allowed to access the track

:04:30. > :04:35.through instructions from his control, which is Charlie Whiting

:04:36. > :04:45.and his team. No fear that he would have decided to just run out, he is

:04:46. > :04:46.

:04:46. > :04:51.in radio contact, like all the marshals. He was picking up pieces

:04:51. > :04:58.of Liuzzi's hit her cheek, that he got bored with. He discarded that

:04:58. > :05:08.on the way out of the track. Ted was acting as on Fernando Alonso,

:05:08. > :05:12.fastest on that 1.21 0.5. His DRS going up and down. It should have

:05:12. > :05:19.been fully open on that. In qualifying they can use that at any

:05:19. > :05:29.time. Even the middle of the corner. That could have been the in-lap.

:05:29. > :05:29.

:05:29. > :05:35.That looks like it is winking. will give you that. Rosberg, eighth

:05:35. > :05:41.place, 9th is Paul di Resta. I think the top eight drivers will

:05:41. > :05:45.not feel the need to go out again. From Paul di Resta onwards. In fact,

:05:45. > :05:54.Rosberg has gone out, surprisingly. Everybody else is going out on the

:05:54. > :06:01.super soft. This is Paul di Resta. I was not expecting Rosberg to go

:06:01. > :06:08.out. Mercedes has been closer this weekend than last year. Michael has

:06:08. > :06:18.gone out as well. I am surprised. This is all about who is going to

:06:18. > :06:22.

:06:22. > :06:27.be in the top 17 cars. Do not release. That is because System

:06:27. > :06:30.Button, being told to only use it on the last corner. Engineers

:06:30. > :06:40.constantly evolve think instructions to the driver as to

:06:40. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:50.the most efficient place. -- the Kers system Button. How's it

:06:50. > :06:53.looking so far? He is so tidy. It does not look like his first season.

:06:53. > :06:59.He had the upper hand through practice over his more experienced

:06:59. > :07:03.team make. He will be looking to build on his invitation. -- team-

:07:03. > :07:08.mate. He could be getting his season back on track, and young

:07:08. > :07:12.Paul di Resta? He is showing promise and you feel they have

:07:12. > :07:18.given away a number of points through little accidents in their

:07:18. > :07:24.strategy calls so the feel that the underlying pace is there. 6th place

:07:24. > :07:27.last week, of course. Paul di Resta was over the line and was up to

:07:27. > :07:34.eight players and Kobayashi slots into 10th place. Looking for the

:07:34. > :07:44.top 17 at the moment. Alguersuari, Petrov crosses the line. Up into

:07:44. > :07:48.

:07:48. > :07:51.10th place. Timo Glock. 21st. Ahead of d'Ambrosio and Liuzzi. This is

:07:52. > :07:56.about honour at the back of the grid. The final seven and demand in

:07:56. > :08:04.the drop zone is Sebastien Buemi, he is on the track and he is about

:08:04. > :08:08.to complete a lap. He has done more runs than I thought he might. It's

:08:08. > :08:17.all moving around. Adrian Sutil has gone into 70s, pushing Paul di

:08:17. > :08:25.Resta into 9th place. Barrichello and Maldonado for Williams, both of

:08:25. > :08:29.them on track. This is Maldonado. 17th place. They have not shown

:08:29. > :08:37.tremendous pace this weekend. They were 14th and 15th in the final

:08:37. > :08:43.practice session at the top of the hill. Maldonado. 1.6 seconds off

:08:43. > :08:48.and coasting, it looks like to me. The team battle between Brno Trulli

:08:48. > :08:52.and Kovaleinen, Jarno Trulli are appearing more relaxed this weekend.

:08:52. > :08:56.They have come back with that new powers during and he is smiling and

:08:56. > :09:00.says he now feels the car. It is a question of, he will perform better

:09:00. > :09:05.in that team? Kovaleinen has started his lap ahead of Jarno

:09:05. > :09:09.Trulli. He has done a personal best. Keep an eye on this. On likely to

:09:09. > :09:15.get through the next part of qualifying but Team Murray is at

:09:15. > :09:20.stake. The top six did not bother going out. Adrian Sutil is down in

:09:20. > :09:27.7th place and Michael Schumacher and Paul di Resta have pitted. They

:09:27. > :09:32.obviously feel that having done 22.8 and 22.9, they are satisfied.

:09:32. > :09:36.Sebastien Buemi still in the drop zone. If that is Rubens Barrichello

:09:36. > :09:41.trying to get out of trouble, if he is only in 16th at the moment and

:09:41. > :09:46.this is an important corner, if you can, still low on as Prime tyres,

:09:46. > :09:54.he has not used those super soft tyres. Barrichello was open to 14th

:09:54. > :10:00.place. That is a good save. Kovaleinen, 19th and ahead of Jarno

:10:00. > :10:09.Trulli. 24.3. In 10th place behind Maldonado, that was a tremendous

:10:09. > :10:14.lap. You train was very concerned about something on the rear wing.

:10:14. > :10:21.The car of Sebastian Vettel, the championship leader. Using a soft

:10:21. > :10:27.tyres, that graphic confirms at the bottom. And Maldonado, now in the

:10:27. > :10:32.Dobson, Sebastien Buemi is in. The clock has stopped, he was able to

:10:32. > :10:40.get a lap in, Kovaleinen, Barrichello, Sebastien Buemi, they

:10:40. > :10:45.have just got through before the track -- the flag drops. Timo Glock,

:10:45. > :10:50.cannot complete any further laps. Let's just confirm. The back of the

:10:50. > :10:57.field... Maldonado, Kovaleinen, Jarno Trulli, Maldonado over the

:10:57. > :11:06.line. And he has done it! 17th place, by the skin of his teeth.

:11:06. > :11:10.Pastor Maldonado. I wonder, then, if Sebastien Buemi might have

:11:10. > :11:15.missed this loss... That is him coming in. He could have done

:11:15. > :11:20.another lap. Would it have made any difference? He will start in 23rd

:11:20. > :11:30.on the grid. I wonder if he thought he had done enough to get through

:11:30. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:37.qualifying? They got -- the Called women. -- they called him in. There

:11:37. > :11:47.is a long face. They have lost a runner already and he has that five

:11:47. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:11.all within that 107% time. To as we can see, Jarno Trulli making his

:12:11. > :12:16.way down the pit lane, there will try to get hold of him and have a

:12:16. > :12:20.quick word. All of the wet tyres lined up but no need for wet tyres.

:12:20. > :12:26.Big clouds looming over the circuit. Sebastien Buemi is the latest man

:12:26. > :12:34.to have a bad weekend? Yes, that has been compounded by the five

:12:34. > :12:38.players penalty that he got at the last race. Martin in a good point.

:12:38. > :12:45.Fortunes have changed. Alguersuari has just picked his game up and he

:12:45. > :12:49.has got better. He seemed to have made that big jump forward. And the

:12:49. > :12:53.roles are reversed. Let's see what happens but not a great race for

:12:53. > :12:58.Sebastien Buemi. Not a great season for Toro Rosso, the regulars seem

:12:58. > :13:04.to be the car that is slipping out in qualifying. -- they regularly

:13:04. > :13:09.seen. That car should be better, it should be in front of the Force

:13:09. > :13:15.India cars and Williams and Sauber. They have the budget and the DNA

:13:15. > :13:19.from Red Bull? A call into question the DNA. It's clear, the rules are

:13:19. > :13:24.very strong, you cannot change the intellectual property rights from

:13:24. > :13:27.one to the other and a lot of the team's... They were so close, it is

:13:27. > :13:32.an iteration of the car they have in recent years? But we realise how

:13:33. > :13:37.find these cars are made. Yes, Red Bull was running away with a lot of

:13:37. > :13:41.races and you cannot say it's the same car, Toro Rosso. Their

:13:41. > :13:44.different TDs, different management and I am surprised they have

:13:44. > :13:52.stepped down the pecking order because they are fundamentally very

:13:52. > :13:55.strong and race-winning. Kovaleinen was so close to Williams, and they

:13:55. > :14:00.have made big changes. Can a Trulli has been talking what you're about

:14:00. > :14:03.power-steering. Obviously, steering is crucial because it's all about

:14:03. > :14:07.the feel and the ability to know what the car is doing next but it

:14:07. > :14:13.seems like this weekend has done what they wanted, closer but still

:14:13. > :14:16.not close enough? Sooner or later, these teams traditionally anchored

:14:16. > :14:23.to the back and they will have to make a big step, one will have to

:14:23. > :14:29.make a big step forward and here is our old friend. Nice to see. The

:14:29. > :14:34.number one question, what is the difference? It is much better for

:14:34. > :14:39.me. I was quick call weekend and unfortunately I did not get it

:14:39. > :14:42.right on qualifying because I did not expect to pick so much upon us

:14:42. > :14:46.during but until this morning it was very good so I am confident for

:14:46. > :14:51.the rest of the season. They were unable to speak to last season --

:14:51. > :14:56.last week, you're sitting down and watching the sessions. How

:14:56. > :15:00.difficult was it not to be in the car? To make that decision?

:15:00. > :15:03.discussed about Tony and there was nothing to be gained because the

:15:03. > :15:10.power steering was not ready and I could not feel the car so we give

:15:10. > :15:15.to any a chance to have around. So, I was standing up and waiting for

:15:15. > :15:25.this. It's a case of getting rid of a car you're not enjoying? It was

:15:25. > :15:30.difficult, I was more of a down, and one of the conditions was

:15:30. > :15:35.you would get a new contract for next year, as that taken place?

:15:35. > :15:40.cannot discuss now, but you will no sooner or later. Would you like to

:15:40. > :15:46.stay in Formula 1? Obviously. I am fired up with this power steering.

:15:46. > :15:49.A brand new season is starting for me and I think we can still do it.

:15:49. > :15:56.Can we expect to see Karun Chandhok in your car for the next Grand

:15:56. > :15:59.Prix? It is a question for the team manager. Well done, there is a man

:16:00. > :16:06.with a big smile on his face because a car has new power

:16:06. > :16:13.steering. We can go back to Martin and David, as Nico Rosberg gears up

:16:13. > :16:17.for the second part of qualifying. COMMENTATORS: That is the story at

:16:17. > :16:22.the back end of the grid. What stood out for you in the first part

:16:22. > :16:27.of qualifying? We were talking to Jarno Trulli, he has been put in a

:16:27. > :16:31.much stronger position. Looking at HRT, that is either a strong

:16:31. > :16:37.performance from Liuzzi, or Ricky Arnault is not quite settled and,

:16:37. > :16:42.because he has had the benefit of having raced earlier in the air

:16:42. > :16:52.here, which has a bigger advantage and a track like this -- Daniel

:16:52. > :16:54.

:16:54. > :17:01.Bull, as McLaren and Ferrari get their act together and evolve their

:17:02. > :17:08.cars. The drivers begin to understand their tyres and they are

:17:08. > :17:15.putting this man under pressure. Qualifying to is under way --

:17:15. > :17:21.qualifying two is under way. We are expecting a close and Wild One

:17:21. > :17:25.today. Have Red Bull fixed their problems of last weekend. His

:17:25. > :17:30.Hamilton really on such scintillating form but he can take

:17:30. > :17:37.the battle to Red Bull, and what can Fernando Alonso do? Can he drag

:17:37. > :17:42.Felipe Massa along with him? Let's hear from Ted. What ever that

:17:42. > :17:46.little problem was with the rear wing of Vettel's car has been fixed.

:17:46. > :17:51.They can't replace it because we are under parc ferme conditions. If

:17:51. > :17:55.there is damage, they will ask the FIA if they can change it. They

:17:55. > :18:01.were looking at the join between the back of the rear wing, where

:18:01. > :18:06.the DRS mounting his. We will update you on Sunday morning. Mark

:18:07. > :18:11.Webber did have to change his real wing element, both flats, in

:18:11. > :18:17.between free practice three in this qualifying. Looks like there might

:18:17. > :18:23.be an issue to follow up on. They don't seem very keen to get out on

:18:23. > :18:33.the racetrack. I laugh this track, I thought I was handy here -- I

:18:33. > :18:38.

:18:38. > :18:42.good to do your own publicity rather than waiting for others. I

:18:42. > :18:47.wouldn't have remembered back then, so I wouldn't have reminded you. I

:18:47. > :18:53.think I have forgotten the question. Were you any good on this track?

:18:53. > :18:59.was not particularly strong. As I said in my preview column, at the

:18:59. > :19:04.middle sector is a real driver sector. Because of the nature of

:19:04. > :19:11.the high APEC speeds, U-turn in, leaning on the axle, some short

:19:11. > :19:17.break in phases, I never felt comfortable. My team mates tend to

:19:17. > :19:23.have the better of me on this track. Presumably the 62 podiums that you

:19:23. > :19:30.got were just lucky! Thank you for that. The payment is

:19:30. > :19:40.in the post. Good stuff. 12.5 minutes remaining. Paul di Resta is

:19:40. > :19:46.

:19:46. > :19:55.back on track, we have four cars Red Bull.

:19:55. > :20:02.RADIO: Only use KERS to start your timed lap. Why would that be?

:20:02. > :20:10.have decided the biggest advantage is to deploy KERS... We have a head

:20:10. > :20:20.wind. A wind speed of about seven kilometres an hour. -- metres per

:20:20. > :20:27.

:20:27. > :20:30.Lewis Hamilton on the slower tyre. I wonder if McLaren think they have

:20:30. > :20:36.inherent speed and Lewis can get through this session on the super

:20:36. > :20:40.soft. Unless he is still tried to find his way with those breaks. --

:20:40. > :20:48.still trying to find his way with those brakes. It is an unusual

:20:48. > :20:54.choice. We haven't seen a completed flying lap yet. Presumably Vettel

:20:54. > :21:01.will be the first to do that. In fact Paul di Resta was out a little

:21:01. > :21:05.bit earlier. We will see what they can make now of these magnificent

:21:05. > :21:10.tyres, when they are working. We were talking about how they give

:21:10. > :21:19.their best performance for one lap, over 2.7 miles, before you start to

:21:19. > :21:29.lose a bit of grit and braking is not quite as good. You can't

:21:29. > :21:36.

:21:36. > :21:46.connect the rear tyres up. -- used the throttle to the firewall. Down

:21:46. > :22:01.

:22:01. > :22:07.acceleration down the straight. It is not particularly fast, it only

:22:07. > :22:11.matches the best time of the weekend. It is surprising. It is

:22:11. > :22:17.windier than I remember ever before at this racetrack. It is having an

:22:17. > :22:23.effect on the aerodynamics. Rosberg is the fastest man in the first

:22:23. > :22:27.second -- sector of the lap. Hamilton is through the McLaren

:22:27. > :22:37.corralled -- throwing the McLaren around. Belief that the back end

:22:37. > :22:37.

:22:37. > :22:42.will stick. The exhaust is rattling away, as the system is igniting

:22:42. > :22:47.fuel. They can go back to what they had prior to Silverstone. The teams

:22:47. > :22:52.are using that fully again, to use the exhaust gas, to give them more

:22:52. > :23:02.downforce. Will it give them a faster lap time? Only second place

:23:02. > :23:09.

:23:09. > :23:19.Webber, the first man into the 1:20s, only just. Webber from

:23:19. > :23:26.

:23:26. > :23:31.his lap. There he is. In the silver McLaren. As he rides the white line,

:23:31. > :23:37.almost like a railway line on the inside of the last corner. Button

:23:37. > :23:44.goes fastest. Where did that come from? Jenson Button surprises the

:23:44. > :23:52.lot of us with that. They are going to see what Ferrari have got.

:23:52. > :24:02.RADIO: We have your for three laps. -- three timed laps -- we have fuel

:24:02. > :24:04.

:24:04. > :24:07.second per lap, carrying that fuel. The Ferrari, struggling to get heat

:24:07. > :24:17.in these tyres. Surprising, given others are only seeing one usable

:24:17. > :24:18.

:24:18. > :24:24.lap. Just to clarify, every lap is worth... Every lap of fuel you

:24:24. > :24:34.carry around to accelerate, turn and break, costs you a tenth of a

:24:34. > :24:36.

:24:36. > :24:45.second per lap. Hamilton is down in fifth place on the super soft tyre.

:24:45. > :24:55.If they are eight-tenths faster, he will be on a 1:20.2. As Webber pits,

:24:55. > :24:59.

:24:59. > :25:09.looking for the seven slowest out of the 17 runners. Only nine on

:25:09. > :25:09.

:25:09. > :25:19.track at the moment. Nick Heidfeld crosses the line to go 7th. He...

:25:19. > :25:23.

:25:23. > :25:26.four times a winner here, a man who has his steering wheel pointing the

:25:26. > :25:36.runway in the penultimate corners as he fights the oversteer -- the

:25:36. > :25:37.

:25:37. > :25:41.wrong way. His actual time is 1:22.3, over two seconds adrift. A

:25:41. > :25:51.second slower than his team-mate, or more. Michael was really

:25:51. > :25:58.

:25:58. > :26:03.fighting that Clarke -- that car to Nico Rosberg on this track last

:26:04. > :26:07.year. This is one of the circuits he has been mighty at in the past.

:26:07. > :26:12.There is something about this particular style of Formula 1 that

:26:12. > :26:15.doesn't suit him so far round this track. Just adding to what we were

:26:15. > :26:19.discussing on Ferrari, the other thing they could be doing by

:26:19. > :26:24.putting in those three timed laps, which would mean he needs five laps

:26:24. > :26:28.of York, could be we are seeing big balance shifts between the prime

:26:28. > :26:32.and option tyre, taking up a lot of understeer. This should be a

:26:32. > :26:36.formality, for Ferrari to get into the top 10. It could be about the

:26:36. > :26:41.driver getting a sighter, what is the balance of the car doing, what

:26:41. > :26:45.changes do I need to make to my front wing, Mike tyre pressures,

:26:45. > :26:50.differentials, any of the other things they have available -- my

:26:50. > :26:58.tyre pressures. You think they are setting themselves up, as much as

:26:58. > :27:04.anything? And fact-finding, for when it really counts? We are now

:27:04. > :27:08.going to set grid positions, from 11317, and the top 10 are then

:27:08. > :27:14.reset. Anything they have done gets cancelled and their only prize is

:27:14. > :27:18.getting through to the top 10 shoot out. The lap time that they then

:27:18. > :27:23.put in, if you are new to this Formula 1 business, and hello to

:27:23. > :27:27.the BBC viewers, it is good to have you on board with us for this

:27:27. > :27:36.qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix. It has all

:27:36. > :27:43.gone a bit quiet, 4.5 minutes to go. Only one car on track. Why don't we

:27:43. > :27:48.use this lull to hear from Ted? always like to come in on a lull!

:27:48. > :27:54.That is so impressive, he is looking very promising. As his team

:27:54. > :28:00.boss said. What a turnaround it would be for McLaren. On Rannoch,

:28:00. > :28:07.who are not looking particularly good, they have now used up to sets

:28:07. > :28:12.of super soft tyres. They are going to use another set as they tried to

:28:12. > :28:16.get further up the grid in this last attempt, just coming up.

:28:16. > :28:26.tiers that would be needed for the Grand Prix tomorrow. -- tyres that

:28:26. > :28:34.would. Thank you for that. We watch Sergio Perez, the first man on the

:28:34. > :28:39.bubble, he is not on the shoot out. He has got to find himself a 1:22

:28:39. > :28:45.point nine. He needs at least a second. Before he has got a prayer

:28:45. > :28:52.of getting in the top 10 shoot-out. 14 corners to do it, you can always

:28:52. > :29:00.kid yourself. I am going to find a tenth per lap. It doesn't seem to

:29:00. > :29:08.be quite that easy. What she meant was a tenth per corner. 14 corners

:29:08. > :29:14.on this track. He has opened the lap with a personal best, some way

:29:14. > :29:19.short of the fastest man on that sector at the moment, Nico Rosberg.

:29:19. > :29:25.He is losing seven-tenths of a second, only 29 seconds. There are

:29:25. > :29:34.only three corners of that, two of which the drivers can do anything.

:29:34. > :29:39.It is not about drag, it is about power. The 100 Grand Prix for these

:29:39. > :29:47.2.4 litre V8s that would barely pull the skin off a rice pudding

:29:47. > :29:57.unless they were doing 18,000 roads. Paras gets himself into eighth --

:29:57. > :29:57.

:29:57. > :30:01.you need high downforce, you don't necessarily need hydride, but it

:30:01. > :30:11.looks like it could be quite a strap -- don't necessarily need

:30:11. > :30:20.

:30:20. > :30:27.That's interesting. The match position for the Kers system, which

:30:27. > :30:35.has not allowed Williams to fully charged. The immediate response,

:30:35. > :30:39.someone has been playing with my knobs and buttons! The equivalent

:30:39. > :30:46.of thumping the radio if it will not work. They have done the first

:30:46. > :30:54.part, who has been tampering with his cockpit?! They do put the

:30:54. > :30:59.umbilical car in to charge the batteries. -- under the accord. He

:30:59. > :31:06.did not trouble the apex on the first part of the chicane and he is

:31:06. > :31:16.dead and 16th place at the moment. That is a pretty steady first lap.

:31:16. > :31:19.

:31:19. > :31:29.On the super soft tyres. He will get another lap in after this. He

:31:29. > :31:34.is have a second of getting into the top 10. He has done a personal

:31:34. > :31:39.best middle sector. 16 at the moment. On board with Rubens

:31:39. > :31:48.Barrichello. Up to 11th, he has another lap, in terms of time, but

:31:48. > :31:52.has he got the grip? Adrian Sutil, down in 16th place, he crosses the

:31:52. > :32:01.line and goes into it to us. Right inside the top 10 at the moment.

:32:01. > :32:11.Still lots of action to come. And as the flag drops, we will have a

:32:11. > :32:12.

:32:12. > :32:18.look at that. Looking at Kew to. The end is over. Paul di Resta goes

:32:18. > :32:22.10. Both Force India cars in the top 10 shoot-out. Still lot of

:32:22. > :32:29.drivers out with a chance to do something. As to watch Petrov

:32:29. > :32:36.crossing the line, sauna, that is Heidfeld. Petrov is on a reasonable

:32:36. > :32:41.lap, as is Schumacher. Kobayashi is also what there with a chance. They

:32:41. > :32:46.can complete the slap, even though the flag has dropped. As he watched

:32:47. > :32:51.Schumacher go over the line. Eighth place it is for Michael Schumacher.

:32:51. > :32:57.Kobayashi in the background, 16th at the moment, only moving up to

:32:57. > :33:06.13th. Is there any more action at there. I feel like an auctioneer!

:33:06. > :33:13.Nobody is betting. It is over, Paul di Resta starts at 11, Petrov

:33:13. > :33:23.Twelfth, Heidfeld, Barrichello, Alguersuari in 16th. And Maldonado,

:33:23. > :33:27.

:33:27. > :33:33.17th place. Alonso was quickest. Then Button, Webber, Sebastian

:33:34. > :33:38.Vettel, Hamilton, Schumacher, Adrian Sutil and prayers. Giving a

:33:38. > :33:45.great job for Sauber, getting into the top 10? That was fairly

:33:45. > :33:51.impressive from Perez. He was a good 10th quicker than Paul di

:33:51. > :33:57.Resta in the 11th. It doesn't sound like a lot around the track.

:33:57. > :34:01.Therese is looking for 1.4 seconds and pretty much find that. And

:34:01. > :34:08.confirmation that knocked out in quarter to, Paul di Resta, Petrov,

:34:08. > :34:14.Kobayashi, Heidfeld, Barrichello, Alguersuari and Maldonado. Unlucky,

:34:14. > :34:16.Paul di Resta, not making the top 10 shoot-out. He started in six at

:34:16. > :34:21.Silverstone in the British Grand Prix and last weekend was one to

:34:21. > :34:29.forget. Tomorrow he fights from 11th place but we are with the man

:34:29. > :34:36.who went out in Q1. Sebastien Buemi, it was strategic, you know you have

:34:36. > :34:41.that five place penalty and two did not use up any of your soft tyres?

:34:41. > :34:45.How does that affect your confidence? It does not affect the

:34:45. > :34:49.confidence, at the end of the day it was an edgy call because he

:34:49. > :34:53.could not aim for better the 16th so there was no point in using both

:34:53. > :34:59.sets of Superstock tyres, especially with the five. Penalty.

:34:59. > :35:02.Tomorrow I can aim for a good race. We need to go back to the last race

:35:03. > :35:09.in Germany and look at the reason for that penalty. The natural

:35:09. > :35:13.question has to be, should you have got the penalty? It is all the

:35:13. > :35:17.Trulli difficult from this perspective because you cannot

:35:17. > :35:20.really see where Heidfeld is in comparison to my car. I had the

:35:20. > :35:25.feeling before braking that he was just a mite back but not really

:35:25. > :35:31.side-by-side and during a break-in, he really went for it. Retouched.

:35:31. > :35:36.At the end of the day, I have to accept the penalty and move forward.

:35:36. > :35:40.Just before we spoke to, we talked about the Red Bull DNA in Toro

:35:40. > :35:45.Rosso. And many possible information swapping. Is that

:35:45. > :35:49.possible? Are you totally separate teams? Completely separate for two

:35:49. > :35:53.years. It would be good to have the possibility to work together but at

:35:53. > :36:01.the moment it is completely separate so we have to do up her

:36:01. > :36:07.own stuff and move forward and try to work very hard but the safety.

:36:07. > :36:10.Sharing the motor home is the only thing you do? That is right. What

:36:10. > :36:14.have you said your team-mate? He started at the back and a couple of

:36:14. > :36:19.occasions and has made an art form out of picking up points. What is

:36:19. > :36:23.the plan? At the end of the day, he had a really good strategy and and

:36:23. > :36:26.all the races to score points and hopefully I think tomorrow will be

:36:26. > :36:30.the same because in Valencia and Canada are qualified ahead of him

:36:30. > :36:35.but at the end of the day I was behind him so tomorrow hopefully

:36:35. > :36:40.will be the opposite and we can pick up points. What is going on?

:36:40. > :36:45.No points since Canada? We were and to Valencia with an update which

:36:45. > :36:50.was a little bit less powerful than what be expected and we still got

:36:50. > :36:54.points but for Silverstone, the first thing was we improved and we

:36:54. > :36:59.had to make a step forward and now it starts to get difficult and

:36:59. > :37:03.hopefully the power will be back with the new DRS. A looking forward

:37:03. > :37:07.to next season, to you see any change in the team in terms of

:37:07. > :37:11.driver set up? At the moment I don't really know what Red Bull

:37:11. > :37:15.will decide but definitely I'm doing my job and I am training as

:37:15. > :37:22.much as I can on delivering a good performance and in the end we will

:37:22. > :37:28.see. Thank you very much and good luck tomorrow. You can go back into

:37:28. > :37:33.a motor home and enjoy the sunshine. Thanks a lot. And after Sebastien

:37:33. > :37:37.going out in the first part, we support arrester missing out on the

:37:37. > :37:43.top 10 by just one 10th, very difficult for him but let's focus

:37:43. > :37:47.on the drivers that it through. Pole position, however this go?

:37:47. > :37:51.think Hamilton just has asked the King chance of getting away with it.

:37:51. > :37:57.What he did on as tyres, if you can replicate that with softer tyres,

:37:57. > :38:03.he has more than a better chance of getting pole position. What about

:38:04. > :38:09.Red Bull on a super soft? Let's first year from Paul di Resta...

:38:09. > :38:14.Again, so close but you just missed out on that 10th position. We had a

:38:14. > :38:17.bit of a mess you run on the super soft but other than that, the

:38:17. > :38:22.Primary 1 was very good and I was happy with the cart and the lap was

:38:22. > :38:28.just not quite there. I could it be more adventurous on it but it's a

:38:28. > :38:34.reasonable position to start the race on. How are you feeling,

:38:34. > :38:39.conferred twice, in the car? It is coming together, the temperatures

:38:39. > :38:44.have increased today. The track is warmer now and it's getting easier.

:38:44. > :38:50.In terms of the long run, we have to be very optimistic that we can

:38:50. > :38:54.continue that. We had the Team Jadia saying that the tyres were

:38:54. > :39:00.coming in quicker than you expected? Today, yes, that was a

:39:00. > :39:05.problem. We were too hard and they were not there in the end.

:39:05. > :39:09.happy with the tyres. You can ride on board with him. What would be

:39:09. > :39:14.more frustrating? The tiny Norwich in between making it through to the

:39:14. > :39:21.top 10 or the fact that his team it is in the top 10? Every time, the

:39:22. > :39:27.team it comes first. -- the tiny margin. The first thing is, where

:39:27. > :39:37.was my tin it? The said Lewis Hamilton a moment ago, we saw that

:39:37. > :39:37.

:39:37. > :39:40.great lap and Fernando Alonso. This is shaping up beautifully? -- we

:39:40. > :39:46.saw Lewis Hamilton. We have not got a clue, we're supposed to know

:39:47. > :39:52.what's going on out there and it is pure guesswork and it's exciting

:39:52. > :39:56.because four five guys could win. We have had two-and-a-half years of

:39:57. > :40:00.wonderful shoot-outs and the BBC, time to bring you another one. All

:40:00. > :40:07.were to Martin and David for the shoot-out for that pole position. -

:40:07. > :40:13.- over to Martin. Will we see the first pole position of the year

:40:13. > :40:18.taking it by someone other than a driver in a Red Bull car. It is too

:40:18. > :40:25.close to call. The interesting thing from that session was that

:40:25. > :40:34.there was Hamilton did not run on the softer option. The faster tyres.

:40:34. > :40:39.Anything from not 0.8 to over one second. Time will be the issue. His

:40:39. > :40:43.team-mate, Jensen Button, he clocked a very handy time in Q 2.

:40:43. > :40:48.That will put him in a good frame of mind going into this last part

:40:48. > :40:55.of the qualifying. No cars on track. It suggests they might only do one

:40:55. > :41:00.run. Maldonado did not run at all, he is 17th, and is saving himself

:41:00. > :41:04.another set of tyres. Will Hamilton do both runs are will he go in

:41:04. > :41:12.tomorrow being the only front runner with the brand new set of

:41:12. > :41:16.super soft tyres? He has lined up. He will go out and he will have the

:41:17. > :41:19.time to do both France if he needs to. The sensible thing to live.

:41:19. > :41:28.is the best judge of knowing if he has delivered everything from the

:41:28. > :41:33.car. Just to correct myself, he said I can't go any faster in

:41:33. > :41:40.Germany. He has found his confidence. I think that turbulent

:41:40. > :41:50.start to the year was... The grid position is more important than a

:41:50. > :41:54.fresh set of tyres? You can is a much time in that middle sector. It

:41:54. > :41:59.is just relentless, you mention that it is seen as Monaco without

:41:59. > :42:02.houses and even if you are 1.5 seconds behind, you are taking that

:42:02. > :42:07.downforce and overheating the brakes and the engine does not cool

:42:08. > :42:12.as well. You want to have clean air. Strategy will win this race. But

:42:12. > :42:16.doing the from the fund will make an afternoon so much easier. That

:42:16. > :42:23.is the first of three sets of super soft tyres he is using. He will

:42:23. > :42:28.still have a brand new set tomorrow. He is looking very good shape. Ted?

:42:28. > :42:33.Absolutely spot on, in fact, if Lewis Hamilton only chose to do one

:42:33. > :42:41.run, he would have two sets of slippers of tyres, fresh sets, for

:42:41. > :42:46.the rest. That would be a real bonus. -- sets of tyres. Ferrari

:42:46. > :42:56.have gone out, they will turn the engine revs up and turning up

:42:56. > :43:01.everything. They could be a factor. Seven car a on the track, three

:43:01. > :43:06.remaining in the pits at the moment. Schumacher, Rosberg and Therese,

:43:06. > :43:10.suggesting one run only. Fernando Alonso, look at that direction

:43:10. > :43:15.changed, it's a wonderful feeling that the way these cars when you

:43:15. > :43:19.just turn the wheel and the car wants to go were you cool. It is

:43:19. > :43:24.just an extension of your mind when they are really hooked up,

:43:24. > :43:31.especially on a set of tyres with Cripps Like These super soft. We

:43:31. > :43:38.are seeing all sorts of decent first sector times. 28.74 Hamilton.

:43:39. > :43:44.On one so very fast. Ferrari looking well balanced. Not sliding

:43:44. > :43:50.around too much. No surprises. Some traffic at the end of the lap.

:43:50. > :44:00.Something for Alonso to focus on. This should clear his way onto the

:44:00. > :44:00.

:44:00. > :44:08.pit straight. Fernando Alonso, about to deliver his time, 1:20.3.

:44:08. > :44:13.Lewis Hamilton, he has not been fastest in either of the first two

:44:13. > :44:21.sectors and some oversteer coming through 13. Some more. And that's

:44:22. > :44:25.the middle of 14. Lewis Hamilton, still faster, but you have to say,

:44:25. > :44:30.that still did not look absolutely perfect in terms of the balance of

:44:30. > :44:36.the car. But in terms of the stopwatch. Jensen Button, about to

:44:36. > :44:45.show just how fast he was. Felipe Massa is going very quickly as well.

:44:45. > :44:55.He crosses the line. 4th place. Cotton, also, bottom, Massa and

:44:55. > :44:59.

:44:59. > :45:06.Sebastian Vettel. -- Fernando Alonso, Button. Less than one 10th

:45:06. > :45:10.slower. Hamilton has delivered the time. Mark Webber is in that final

:45:10. > :45:17.corner. Some down shifts in the middle and then Flora's the

:45:17. > :45:22.throttle. Whoever crosses the line, only good enough for 6th place. He

:45:22. > :45:27.has Dutch-owned anything like the kind of pace we expected from him.

:45:27. > :45:32.-- has not shown. His times have been very strong in the last sector.

:45:32. > :45:42.And there he was over one-tenth down. That is what he needed to be

:45:42. > :45:47.

:45:47. > :45:50.round, a first run on the super soft tyres, for Lewis Hamilton. He

:45:50. > :45:54.doesn't have the experience from the previous part of qualifying to

:45:54. > :46:00.know what to expect in terms of grip. Real talent on display, not

:46:00. > :46:06.that we had any doubt. Did you read it at the back end was trying to

:46:06. > :46:11.get away from him in 13 and 14? didn't look as if he was well

:46:11. > :46:15.cooked up in that corner, but we know he was absolutely floating on

:46:15. > :46:25.the limit of the Riyait grip of that tyre, and that is what has

:46:25. > :46:28.

:46:28. > :46:34.delivered in three fastest time -- little bit of set-up work that they

:46:34. > :46:39.can change for tomorrow. Front wing, differential, tyre pressures they

:46:39. > :46:43.can work on. They have got to have good front end on this lap. If you

:46:43. > :46:51.don't hit your APACS, forget getting out of the first corner. --

:46:51. > :46:55.if you don't hit your apex. Mark Webber must have had a problem. He

:46:55. > :46:59.is 6th of the six runners to have finished a complete flying lap. Ted

:46:59. > :47:04.has got an update. Yes, Mark Webber will be the last to go out, he will

:47:04. > :47:07.get the cleanest track. These guys are fuelled for three more laps.

:47:07. > :47:14.You're talking about the fuel effect, they can still go quicker

:47:14. > :47:18.than this. RADIO: KERS has come to live, we

:47:18. > :47:23.can do our second round with KERS in discharge only -- come to life.

:47:23. > :47:27.You just push the button when you want it, on your timed lap only.

:47:27. > :47:32.That means he has got a full charge in his batteries. He won't have to

:47:32. > :47:37.do any charging on the out lap, they have more than enough reserve

:47:37. > :47:40.in the battery packs to be able to use that. That will enable him to

:47:40. > :47:44.not have to compromise his brake balance. They have to move the

:47:44. > :47:49.brake balance Ford when they are charging the KERS, which is what

:47:49. > :47:59.will happen during the race -- the brake balance for it. That will be

:47:59. > :48:00.

:48:00. > :48:04.welcome news for Mark Webber. -- a second. He hasn't got the

:48:04. > :48:08.complication of trying to collect any energy and the inconsistency in

:48:08. > :48:13.the braking system. Through the braking phase is when they charge

:48:13. > :48:17.the KERS system. It has the effect of slowing down the rear axle, when

:48:17. > :48:21.they are braking into the corner. Not what you want, when you have a

:48:21. > :48:26.qualifying lap at stake and a bit of a tail wind. Your driver can't

:48:26. > :48:31.know when you're going to have a gust of wind. He has all the upside,

:48:31. > :48:34.the power of the KERS, he won't be able to use any one the out lap

:48:34. > :48:39.without the complications of collecting further energy. That

:48:39. > :48:44.means he has only got one lap. One lap to get it done. That is where

:48:44. > :48:48.we think the tyres are at anyway, and so is the clock, come to that.

:48:48. > :48:56.One lap, it will become as we have 10 of 10 on the racetrack, as

:48:56. > :49:06.expected. Four of them, yet to set a time. This is going to be a

:49:06. > :49:09.

:49:09. > :49:18.closing seconds. Alonso will be one of the first over the line. Off we

:49:18. > :49:25.go, or bored with Fernando Alonso. 185 miles per hour, he spots the

:49:25. > :49:32.apex beautifully, a flick to the right hand side. The track falls

:49:32. > :49:35.away from turn two, so you have to be a patient. Absolutely flat out,

:49:35. > :49:39.brilliant corner as you climb the hill. You start turning right

:49:39. > :49:44.before you have to flick it left and it is unsighted, from the

:49:44. > :49:49.cockpit of a Formula 1 car. You have to be so precise, when you

:49:49. > :49:55.can't see any reference points. Late braking for the chicane at

:49:55. > :50:01.turn 6 and 7. It is a brilliant first sector, but nowhere near as

:50:01. > :50:06.quick as Vettel's. We are talking about half a tenth of a second

:50:06. > :50:11.making all the difference. Hamilton is even faster in the first sector

:50:11. > :50:21.than Vettel. Only by four hundredths of a second. They are

:50:21. > :50:30.

:50:30. > :50:40.really getting down to it. It is corner. He stays third, he has gone

:50:40. > :50:50.

:50:50. > :50:55.difficult middle sector, lots of understeer, did he go wide? Looked

:50:55. > :50:58.like he was fighting the car. Lewis Hamilton crosses the line and stays

:50:58. > :51:05.in second place. Three-tenths slower than his first effort.

:51:05. > :51:15.Jenson Button in fourth, one corner to go. A short straight, can he

:51:15. > :51:16.

:51:16. > :51:23.improve on fourth position? He is fifth place. Felipe Massa goes

:51:23. > :51:29.forth, he has out-qualified Fernando Alonso. Vettel, yet again,

:51:29. > :51:34.on pole position, his 23rd. Lewis Hamilton looked as if he attacked

:51:34. > :51:42.the final corner, and the car wouldn't stick to the road. A great

:51:42. > :51:52.performance from Vettel as -- from Button as a Vettel look like

:51:52. > :51:56.

:51:56. > :52:06.qualifying -- recovering from being about! It is what we are talking

:52:06. > :52:13.

:52:13. > :52:23.front row as well. He is third on the grid on the creepier side. --

:52:23. > :52:31.

:52:31. > :52:36.numbered slots being cleaner. Once again, they made a lot of changes

:52:36. > :52:42.overnight to the Red Bull, particularly to Vettel's car. They

:52:42. > :52:49.went back to something they had before the Silverstone Grand Prix

:52:49. > :52:55.round. It has made the difference. Mark Webber, with the KERS issue,

:52:55. > :52:59.nearly six-tenths of pole position. I am going to ask you to do your

:52:59. > :53:09.best muffled radio message and something we haven't heard this

:53:09. > :53:16.

:53:16. > :53:26.year. Fernando, Felipe is faster pretty frustrated with that last

:53:26. > :53:36.lap, didn't come together. There is confirmation. Sebastian Vettel is

:53:36. > :53:36.

:53:36. > :54:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

:54:22. > :54:28.to be weighed, along with their devices, crash helmet and

:54:28. > :54:35.everything else. It is then added to the weight of the car, to make

:54:35. > :54:45.sure it equals at least 640 kilograms. Sebastian Vettel, your

:54:45. > :54:55.pole sitter, is the man on the two men who will be very happy

:54:55. > :55:03.

:55:03. > :55:08.pleased, he starts third. Any one of five could have taken the

:55:08. > :55:13.proposition. I don't think they knew until even after the end of

:55:13. > :55:17.the qualifying. We were served up yet another titanic battle for the

:55:17. > :55:23.pole position. I love qualifying, the way it is working at the moment.

:55:23. > :55:27.You questioned McLaren's ability to go racing, they won be raised. You

:55:28. > :55:37.have question Sebastian Vettel in some ways, he is on pole position.

:55:38. > :55:49.

:55:49. > :55:59.race. He has answered all the critics -- he had a tarred the race.

:55:59. > :56:06.

:56:06. > :56:12.He can get it done. He has His six on the grid today. He is

:56:12. > :56:18.with Lee McKenzie. 6th tomorrow, not what we have been used to, how

:56:18. > :56:28.are you feeling about it? Bizarre, really. No way I could do that lap

:56:28. > :56:29.

:56:29. > :56:36.time. I did my best, we had a few KERS issues. In the end, it is a

:56:36. > :56:44.difference alone -- zone to me. Fernando didn't have the best day

:56:44. > :56:49.either. We will see how sensitive the tyres are. We didn't extract

:56:49. > :56:55.enough from them to be further up the grid. You were evenly matched

:56:55. > :57:01.yesterday. They worked on both cars for a long time last night? Yeah.

:57:01. > :57:06.Yesterday was nip and tuck. Today, there's a gap. Need to look at it.

:57:06. > :57:13.Do my best tomorrow. Did your car feel it was lacking, did it feel

:57:13. > :57:18.different? It felt OK in terms of balance. If you have a gap of six-

:57:18. > :57:26.tenths, I need to look through it. It is a big step compared to the

:57:26. > :57:30.last few races, I need to analyse candid of the Formula 1 drivers,

:57:30. > :57:34.and being totally clear, he could not have done the lap time that his

:57:34. > :57:38.team-mate managed. How often do you hear that kind of honesty from any

:57:38. > :57:45.sportsman? This guy is a step a part in some respects. He is very

:57:45. > :57:49.honest and clear. He cannot see how his car, is set up, could get into

:57:49. > :57:57.the 19s, and you have to applaud him for that. This honesty is

:57:57. > :58:01.seldom seen. A week ago we saw him on proposition. -- pole position.

:58:01. > :58:07.What about Fernando Alonso, what is the reason for him starting behind

:58:07. > :58:10.Felipe Massa for the first time this season? Again, it was a close

:58:10. > :58:20.qualifying, you got pipped by a team-mate at the end, how are you

:58:20. > :58:30.

:58:30. > :58:35.a way, because it is quite a big difference here. We lost a little

:58:35. > :58:38.bit of ground, especially for the first corner. If we want to put

:58:38. > :58:44.Vettel in some trouble, starting 5th is a bit more difficult. Let's

:58:44. > :58:49.hope the McLaren can do it in the first corner. Tell us how you think

:58:49. > :58:56.tomorrow will play out. What is the key to doing well? Consistency,

:58:56. > :59:01.with the tyre. This weekend we had a lot of pit stops, a lot of tyre

:59:01. > :59:07.problems. We need to take care of this and have a consistent pace all

:59:07. > :59:11.through the race, all 70 laps. It is very open, but we need to have a

:59:11. > :59:15.good start and a good first couple of laps. Are you go down a team

:59:15. > :59:20.talk with Lewis and Jenson now? think they know what to do my act -

:59:20. > :59:30.going to have a team talk. Drivers are always going to look on the

:59:30. > :59:32.

:59:32. > :59:36.The clean part of the track is on the left side, the first corner is

:59:36. > :59:39.a right hander. As a result, the cars on the inside will have a

:59:39. > :59:45.slight advantage. I am not saying they are exactly equal, but it is

:59:45. > :59:49.not as big a difference as some of these drivers are saying. We should

:59:49. > :59:52.say congratulations to Felipe Massa, he will be delighted at starting

:59:52. > :59:55.4th. Martin Whitmarsh would have been sitting on the pit wall

:59:55. > :00:00.wondering whether Lewis Hamilton could snatch pole position. He was

:00:00. > :00:10.close, and he was close again. He had provisional pole, it was stolen

:00:10. > :00:14.

:00:14. > :00:20.disappointing but we have got of cars on the front two rows. It will

:00:20. > :00:24.be exciting. It was close. Not quite the result we wanted.

:00:24. > :00:34.made a little mistake in the middle sector? A little bit on the last

:00:34. > :00:39.corner. But neither of the lamps were bad. It would have been nice

:00:39. > :00:45.to have picked for the pole but tomorrow, you'll prove we have some

:00:45. > :00:49.good starts. Both guys had big long runs yesterday so they will be

:00:49. > :00:53.competitive in the race. That move in the queue to, showing confidence

:00:54. > :00:59.with the Saltire, that meant you could have been on pole position?

:00:59. > :01:04.But unfortunately we are not. We're not in a bad place tomorrow. Let us

:01:04. > :01:13.see if we can make it an exciting one. Thank you. It was certainly an

:01:13. > :01:16.exciting qualifying session. One 10th ahead of Lewis Hamilton. When

:01:16. > :01:20.Sebastien looks at this tonight, she will look even more beautiful

:01:20. > :01:25.than ever. The fans will have enjoyed watching Sebastian Vettel,

:01:25. > :01:31.plenty of German support and they were delighted with this. And I am

:01:31. > :01:38.sure he is. Let's hear... picked the right moment to set your

:01:38. > :01:42.fastest lap of any of the qualifying sessions? Yes, it was a

:01:42. > :01:46.very good session and after yesterday, I think these boys were

:01:46. > :01:51.a little bit quicker than us but it seems we have done the right thing

:01:51. > :01:55.and I felt more comfortable this morning. I was about to get through

:01:55. > :02:01.to the last section of qualifying and I am very pleased with the

:02:01. > :02:08.result. Obviously, we changed a lot in the car. The boys were working

:02:08. > :02:13.very hard. And I did not get much sleep. But if we have a result like

:02:13. > :02:17.this, it's the best way to say thanks. I am very happy and I have

:02:17. > :02:23.got back confidence back today. I felt much more comfortable in the

:02:23. > :02:28.car. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Yours, we saw your

:02:28. > :02:33.delight without front rows start and your second successive front-

:02:33. > :02:40.row start but is there to light because you did have pole at one

:02:40. > :02:44.point? -- delight. We knew from the previous race at we had good pace

:02:44. > :02:49.and yesterday was a good day and today they picked up the pace and

:02:49. > :02:54.to be in the front row, that was a good job. I am quite happy. We can

:02:54. > :02:57.get some really good points. Jensen Button, it looked like Fernando

:02:57. > :03:05.Alonso was going to make it a three-way fight and you were third

:03:05. > :03:13.on the grid, that was at his factory? Yes, I'm pretty happy. --

:03:13. > :03:17.was that satisfactory. I am happy to be in third. That has been my

:03:17. > :03:23.issue. It makes it very difficult to make up the time. It is nice to

:03:23. > :03:27.be in a position and hopefully I can have a good fight. And Jensen

:03:27. > :03:31.Button will be particularly happy and it might be Sebastian Vettel

:03:31. > :03:35.and Lewis Hamilton sharing the front but so far, Jensen Button has

:03:35. > :03:39.struggled on Saturdays but not today. Felipe Massa starting the

:03:39. > :03:44.4th, he is just in front of his team-mate, Fernando Alonso. Mark

:03:44. > :03:49.Webber in 6th place. Then Nico Rosberg and Adrian Sutil, both

:03:49. > :03:56.German drivers. Michael Schumacher being out qualified by his team-

:03:56. > :04:01.mate. Sergio Perez rounds off the top 10. Then Paul di Resta.

:04:01. > :04:06.Alongside petrol. Kobayashi, another disappointing qualifying

:04:06. > :04:10.performance and also Nick Heidfeld, he would have wanted more.

:04:10. > :04:16.Barrichello out qualifying his team mate and Alguersuari making it

:04:16. > :04:21.through. Maldonado, 17th, then Sebastien Buemi. He takes that

:04:21. > :04:27.penalty because of his accident in the last race. Kovaleinen and Jarno

:04:27. > :04:37.Trulli. Timo Glock and Liuzzi, 21st and 22nd, rounding off the back of

:04:37. > :04:40.the grid. Ricardo and d'Ambrosio. We saw all the cars last we going

:04:40. > :04:45.onto the track of the few minutes to go and it was exciting to finish.

:04:45. > :04:50.Deja vu? That was great? It was a great session. Trying to follow the

:04:51. > :04:55.laps and see them unfold. And in the end, Sebastian was able to

:04:55. > :04:59.deliver that lap. I thought Lewis Hamilton's first lap in that last

:04:59. > :05:02.part of qualifying was in prison, first time on the sippers of tyres

:05:02. > :05:07.at this point in the day. Martin what Marsh said it was the first

:05:07. > :05:11.time he was running in full engine note! I'm not sure if that is

:05:11. > :05:19.entirely accurate. He was telling me that's a new we tell everybody

:05:19. > :05:24.else. That would be pretty impressive. Talk us through... As a

:05:24. > :05:31.lap was unfolding, it did not look as if he was entirely satisfied

:05:31. > :05:38.with the car. In the turn, he is really working the wheel a lot.

:05:38. > :05:45.Early on to the power. Flat out through turn number three.

:05:45. > :05:51.Employing DRS. Up to this blind corner. 150 mph. And that

:05:51. > :05:56.relentless right hand. Then difficult braking into the chicane.

:05:56. > :06:02.The wind right behind the car. He hits his apex nice and clean but

:06:02. > :06:09.the middle sector, where Red Bull have been strong, I thought, is in

:06:09. > :06:16.trouble? Is that hesitation? Look again. So much kick back through

:06:16. > :06:26.the front axle. In the end, he gets towards the end of the lap and this

:06:26. > :06:26.

:06:27. > :06:32.is more like a Mark Webber. When it came to it, Sebastian was able to

:06:32. > :06:37.place him. That little stab at the power. And then drives through the

:06:37. > :06:41.line. Today, one-tenth quicker than Lewis Hamilton and enough for a

:06:41. > :06:47.Lewis Hamilton. -- pole position. More sport this afternoon. It did

:06:47. > :06:50.not rain but it will be wet if you stick with us. We're going to the

:06:50. > :06:55.world swimming championships, highlights from Shanghai on BBC One

:06:55. > :06:59.and the Red Button. And the Women's British Open from Carnoustie. You

:06:59. > :07:04.have got an afternoon of support on this channel and also on BBC Two,

:07:04. > :07:10.tonight from 6pm, the world trials and the UK Championships from

:07:10. > :07:16.Birmingham. And we are back, Formula One, on the BBC and on BBC

:07:16. > :07:26.One PhD, 12 will 5:00pm. Really making sure the wheels don't come

:07:26. > :07:30.

:07:30. > :07:35.off for McLaren. Jensen and Lewis are running into each other. I am

:07:35. > :07:45.worried that Jensen might not know which pit-stop to the winter.

:07:45. > :07:50.

:07:50. > :07:55.that pink or green? Peach? One of the least safe things I have ever

:07:55. > :07:59.done, racing drivers are incredibly competitive. It was a great session,

:07:59. > :08:06.set up beautifully for tomorrow. were just dished up an absolutely

:08:06. > :08:09.sparkling qualifier. You never know what the sport, Felipe Massa? He

:08:09. > :08:13.flew out of qualifying, Lewis Hamilton had a provisional pole and

:08:13. > :08:16.Jensen Button behind them and Sebastian Vettel back at the front
