:01:05. > :01:18.Hello and welcome. You may remember the Spanish driver suffered a
:01:18. > :01:28.serious head injury and lost an eye in a testing incident. She was found
:01:28. > :01:31.in her hotel room in Seville and early reports suggest she died of
:01:31. > :01:50.natural causes. In the pit lane we have Tom. What
:01:51. > :01:54.are the latest conditions? It is a little bit cooler than it was
:01:54. > :02:05.yesterday, a little bit of cloud cover, but that won't be as much
:02:05. > :02:09.concern as the wind. Today we have a strong wind gusting up to about 20
:02:09. > :02:18.kilometres per hour down the pit straight. It might even feel like a
:02:18. > :02:26.new race track. There are some new cars for today's session. Parades is
:02:26. > :02:49.in a new car because he crashed yesterday. -- Perez. If you go off
:02:49. > :02:57.at Suzuka, you are very close to a wall. It all started with the
:02:57. > :03:08.Frenchman. He got it a little bit wrong. He bashed his elbow into the
:03:08. > :03:14.cockpit. A little bit after that we saw him lose his left rear wheel.
:03:15. > :03:31.Forcing him to abandon his car if you met later. He was actually find
:03:31. > :03:41.60,000 euros for this incident. -- fined. He did just managed to stop
:03:41. > :03:48.as he got to the barrier. Back out with all four wheels on his wagon.
:03:48. > :03:54.He got it wrong and this time did some damage to the front end of his
:03:55. > :03:59.car, that was the end of his day. This was the resulting impact and as
:03:59. > :04:06.we have heard, he has a rebuilt chassis for this event today.
:04:06. > :04:15.Thankfully got away without hitting anything. He wasn't so lucky and he
:04:15. > :04:27.lost it as he went up through the course. Gary, it was an eventful
:04:27. > :04:38.time, wasn't it? I wonder if we will see quite that level of action here
:04:38. > :04:47.today. Barely restrained. I think as the wind, there is little run-off
:04:47. > :04:54.area, and if you come in there and lock the break you just can't get
:04:54. > :05:06.the speed out of the car. -- the brakes. Absolutely right. He put in
:05:06. > :05:23.a very good luck yesterday before he went off. It showed that they can be
:05:23. > :05:30.very competitive. They started the season quite strongly but then they
:05:30. > :05:41.seem to drop the ball mid-season. -- seemed. He is not frightened about
:05:41. > :05:56.trying. It will be interesting to see who can come out of the top of
:05:56. > :06:06.data. -- top of that. In the pits, Jenny, how are things where you are?
:06:06. > :06:16.Lewis Hamilton has just got into his car. He looks very relaxed. He has
:06:16. > :06:23.just had a good look at the front of wing of his Mercedes with one the
:06:23. > :06:29.engineers. He was definitely exploring it and seeing what he
:06:29. > :06:36.could do today. The rest of the drivers getting ready to come out.
:06:36. > :06:43.Sebastian Vettel there, the fastest yesterday. Best lap was one minute
:06:43. > :06:56.Sebastian Vettel there, the fastest and 34 seconds.
:06:56. > :07:09.One minute 33.8 seconds. About another 10th of a second slower than
:07:09. > :07:16.that, so pretty close. A little bit of an advantage for Red Bull.
:07:16. > :07:34.They didn't quite get down to that today. Why did think that was? -- do
:07:34. > :07:39.you think that was? It is difficult because in the first session it was
:07:39. > :07:51.the same hard tyre, the wind did get up and it was a tailwind. That could
:07:51. > :08:01.probably be part of it. It is so critical to lap time around here.
:08:01. > :08:09.You could lose a lot of time. Tom was telling us that the wind has
:08:09. > :08:18.changed direction. It is pretty much a perfect headwind now, that will
:08:18. > :08:26.presumably help them. It will help a car to get more downforce. We do
:08:26. > :08:35.hope nothing has gone wrong for him. It is just barking little bit. What
:08:35. > :08:47.is going on their Gary? -- sparking a little. Maybe they're downforce,
:08:47. > :08:59.may be the tyre pressure is off. He doesn't want that again, he had that
:08:59. > :09:05.yesterday. Just seeing how many cars are out on track. We are quite a
:09:05. > :09:23.view in the pits at the moment. Seven are on the tracks and 15 are
:09:23. > :09:31.still in the pit lane. -- quite a few.
:09:31. > :09:43.Just watching Jimmy as he accelerates. Head down the start
:09:43. > :09:50.area. Just another little bit of look, there is a little bit of smoke
:09:50. > :09:58.from the back of his car. This piece of high density would underneath the
:09:58. > :10:06.car. It is to protect the track from getting eaten up. The maximum you
:10:06. > :10:18.are allowed to wear off during a race is one millimetre. It gives the
:10:18. > :10:32.car less drag. They are obviously trying to run it are very low. --
:10:32. > :10:36.run it very low. A little bit closer to the overall pace than we have
:10:36. > :10:44.seen on some occasions. Jimmy was fourth quickest. He would have been
:10:44. > :11:03.quicker than his one minute and 34 seconds. He put it over the curb.
:11:03. > :11:10.Using the hard compound tyre. In good form at the moment, Gary. He
:11:10. > :11:14.made one mistake which allowed Jimmy to get past him, but apart from that
:11:14. > :11:35.it was pretty much a perfect weekend. You are coming up and you
:11:35. > :11:45.are doing 300 kilometres per hour, it is so hard to get the breaks in
:11:45. > :11:50.there. -- the brakes. You are throwing away to lapse on the track.
:11:50. > :12:16.-- two laps. Sergio is out in his rebuilt McLaren
:12:17. > :12:34.after the incident yesterday. The wheels are not yet fitted. Fiddling
:12:34. > :12:47.around a bit with our car. -- that car. Everything is ready for the
:12:47. > :12:57.race now. Probably bleed the breaks. -- the brakes. It is better to have
:12:57. > :13:08.the car ready to go in at the end of the session than habit struggling
:13:08. > :13:19.with some problems. -- have it. That is going to lead to a tailwind.
:13:19. > :13:21.Gary, if you are having to decide on your ratio on Friday evening and
:13:21. > :13:29.then you wake up and have a complete your ratio on Friday evening and
:13:29. > :13:43.180 degrees change in the wind like this, are we going to see a change?
:13:43. > :13:48.-- gear ratio. It will really mean that you won't have as big an
:13:48. > :13:56.advantage out of the day, but everyone will be suffering the same
:13:56. > :14:03.thing. Joining us on the pit wall right now is the president of
:14:04. > :14:13.Mercedes. You can join us in our conversation about gear ratios and
:14:13. > :14:19.Windsor ratios. -- wind. It does make quite a difference but we are
:14:19. > :14:24.trying to anticipate it. It is the same for tomorrow. The forecast says
:14:24. > :14:36.there are really heavy gusts this afternoon. It is going to catch our
:14:36. > :14:45.attention for sure. Where would you like to be caught? I think it would
:14:46. > :14:55.be a bit of a headwind into the complex. That would give a little
:14:55. > :15:03.bit more stability. It could give you a bit of a moment. This
:15:03. > :15:10.forecasting has proven to be quite accurate so far, does it say there
:15:10. > :15:17.will be rain this weekend? Not so far. A touch cooler tomorrow. On
:15:17. > :15:28.your long runs yesterday where you happy with tyre degradation? Are you
:15:28. > :15:38.feeling confident? No. We suffered a lot of tyre degradation. We should
:15:38. > :15:48.be in conservation mode to see how much we can save. Try to piece all
:15:48. > :16:00.of that together. It will be about who uses the tyres best. Tyre
:16:00. > :16:06.grading was a big problem. There doesn't seem to be such an issue.
:16:06. > :16:30.Obviously being a figure eight track, we use both sides of the car
:16:30. > :16:37.fairly evenly. It is normally two stops, but I think there will be
:16:37. > :16:49.three stops tomorrow. Are they keeping Japanese hours over the
:16:49. > :16:53.course of the weekend? By the time they get to the weekends they are
:16:53. > :17:16.used to lead and then they try to cover the week after. -- used to
:17:16. > :17:27.it. Keeping an eye on the progress. Quite a reasonable lap. Sergio is
:17:27. > :17:49.second fastest. We just have the fastest first sector. -- had. The
:17:49. > :17:57.circuit definitely is a bit quicker than yesterday. It does look as
:17:57. > :18:18.though they are coming down now. Today it is a headwind. We know in
:18:18. > :18:29.the UK it is a pretty horrible time but we have some people tuning in,
:18:29. > :18:44.so that is great. That is a great shot there. Some slow mode action
:18:44. > :18:54.from the drifts. Is there a regulation for how low the cars can
:18:55. > :19:03.be? No. Some teams probably run very high. It depends on the economic
:19:03. > :19:22.characteristics. It is up to you. You just want to keep the car on the
:19:22. > :19:30.ground in a high-speed section. What you are talking about earlier with
:19:30. > :19:41.heights, it has got people talking. Why do they use a plank? It is not
:19:41. > :19:48.so much a plank. It was put there because the cars were having big
:19:48. > :19:54.skids on the bottom. It was also very dangerous because you could hit
:19:54. > :20:00.the ground very hard. We have seen gearboxes smashed just from the car
:20:00. > :20:04.hitting the ground. To stop the cars being too low and doing the drivers
:20:04. > :20:17.injury. That got a bit messy. That was just
:20:17. > :20:27.a moment ago. He got himself out of rhythm. He got wind and then missed
:20:27. > :20:35.it up. He actually did that twice. Once is a bit of a mistake but twice
:20:35. > :20:39.is the responsible. The technical director of the team would not be
:20:39. > :20:48.impressed. He is Foster's in this session so far. We have seen what he
:20:48. > :20:56.can do but as you can see Mark Webber is on track. We will get an
:20:56. > :21:10.idea of the split. Is almost as fast as anyone in Up towards the happy
:21:10. > :21:18.now. There is a little bit of banking as it comes now through
:21:18. > :21:22.the, the flat out. There is this tricky braking and getting into
:21:22. > :21:26.spinning curve. Very fast entry. Try to slow it down. He is using all the
:21:26. > :21:32.spinning curve. Very fast entry. Try downforce to group the tarmac as he
:21:32. > :21:37.comes on to the long straight and back towards this left-hand turn. It
:21:37. > :21:42.is an easy corner with how used to be. Yes. That tale wins coming up
:21:42. > :21:51.is an easy corner with how used to their will upset the balance of the
:21:51. > :21:54.car. You need a good front end for the essence you will be using a
:21:54. > :22:03.little bit more rear than you think. A quick lap. And now we're getting
:22:03. > :22:10.down some serious lap times. In this session, Vettel was the fastest. We
:22:10. > :22:12.are looking at being back to the same sort of times. The wind has
:22:12. > :22:22.are looking at being back to the a big effect. This man has just left
:22:22. > :22:27.his first proper run on the session and watching the guys putting the
:22:27. > :22:28.tyres on, he stayed just a little bit longer to make sure the wheels
:22:28. > :22:35.tyres on, he stayed just a little were on properly. The team still
:22:35. > :22:40.does not know why he lost his left rear wheel after three laps during
:22:40. > :22:42.practice yesterday. They are trying to recreate what happened yesterday
:22:42. > :22:52.up in the factory. They try to stimulate those laps on the other
:22:52. > :22:58.red. The FIA want them to pass it on to the rest of the team. As of yet,
:22:58. > :23:04.no idea why it happened. He has just gone third quickest. Red Bull are
:23:04. > :23:17.looking good. Vettel goes through. Not as quick as we are. -- Webber. A
:23:17. > :23:22.wrong to complain Nikkei is not fast enough. Can get the car right. While
:23:22. > :23:28.some of the garage is able to do much good. These guys are out there
:23:28. > :23:32.for a reason. Maybe it's time to get into the car and do the job that
:23:32. > :23:36.they pay for. He did lock up going into the hairpin. There you can see
:23:36. > :23:42.how it leaves that trail of rubber into the hairpin. There you can see
:23:42. > :23:47.on the tarmac. You leave a bit of rubber like that idea and there is
:23:47. > :23:50.one thing to shore, a lot of tyre is left on the road. It is alleged tyre
:23:51. > :23:53.problems because it creates left on the road. It is alleged tyre
:23:53. > :24:00.vibrations and it is very easy to hit that flat spot. Get a lot of
:24:00. > :24:05.breaking on the tyre. It locks up again and that makes a bigger flat
:24:06. > :24:17.spot. He wore right through the tread of the tyre. You have to be
:24:17. > :24:23.very privileged. It is so easy to damage a tyre and then cost you a
:24:23. > :24:32.pit stop. Do you think the front left is damaged? Just a little flat
:24:32. > :24:41.spot. A clear analysis from Vettel. He was not ideal. Not as bad as we
:24:41. > :24:44.have seen from some. I noticed yesterday that there was that big
:24:44. > :24:49.spending which I would have thought left a flat spot. But he still
:24:49. > :24:57.managed to do some of the race immolation on those tyres. It
:24:57. > :25:00.depends. It is not so bad because as long as the driver gets off the
:25:00. > :25:06.brake pedal the car does the spin itself. It is not set in one spot.
:25:06. > :25:14.I'm sure he damaged the tyre but probably not as much as he thought.
:25:14. > :25:19.He won't be very happy though, he is trying to get around and he has gone
:25:19. > :25:30.He won't be very happy though, he is straight back in. A reminder, they
:25:30. > :25:34.are now tied in the championship. We've seen a Vettel going fastest in
:25:34. > :25:44.the first sector. Very wide from this driver. Getting to grips with
:25:44. > :25:58.this is a -- circuit. We will keep an eye on him. Vettel and Webber are
:25:58. > :26:02.at the top of the figures. Similarly, they are the top it all
:26:02. > :26:12.the speed tracks. We have a problem Similarly, they are the top it all
:26:12. > :26:17.with the exhaust. The exhaust broke. That is going to be challenging for
:26:17. > :26:24.him. They're going to change the exhaust system. It is like a bunch
:26:24. > :26:29.of bananas and you need not to hold on. It is not easy. Maybe it is a
:26:30. > :26:34.tailpipe that is broken which wouldn't be too bad. What you are
:26:34. > :26:40.trying to do is create downforce in the rear of the car and the exhaust
:26:40. > :26:47.gases are at high speed. Each... Here it is going wide... Some tracks
:26:47. > :26:53.we are trying to do is a small exhaust pipes so the exhaust can
:26:53. > :26:59.cover at a higher the loss compromises engine performance. That
:26:59. > :27:07.is what they are doing at the moment. These exhaust, another great
:27:07. > :27:11.replay their, hopping over the curb at the chicane. We keep talking
:27:11. > :27:17.about him being a finger tip driver. at the chicane. We keep talking
:27:17. > :27:25.He is definitely able to fix it in an instant. His girlfriend Jessica
:27:25. > :27:33.is a big star in Japan. You could hear it as he came in. It did not
:27:33. > :27:40.sound right. There are four excise -- exhaust pipes that come out. Tom,
:27:40. > :27:46.you are there, had a sound to you? Very poorly. It looks like he might
:27:46. > :27:52.even be getting out of the car. Actually, no he is not. I'll give a
:27:52. > :27:58.very close eye on what they are doing. Not an ideal start for him.
:27:58. > :28:09.He was one of the stars of Korea last time. He got for lost time. Got
:28:09. > :28:15.a lot of admiring comments from people in the pit lane stop see what
:28:15. > :28:23.his lap is like, is it being behind his teammate, there seemed a bit
:28:23. > :28:32.closer yesterday. Quite now there is a big gap between the top and the
:28:32. > :28:40.bottom. Early days, of course. We will keep an eye on that. He has
:28:40. > :28:55.done best in the first sector. He is only down a little bit and in the
:28:55. > :29:00.end he is doing very well. It does look like Rebel have the pace on
:29:00. > :29:10.this harder compound tyres. He is off again. He has had eight scrappy
:29:10. > :29:14.weekend so far we have got a car that isn't as fast as you want it to
:29:14. > :29:19.be an attractive push the car faster than will go sometimes you back off
:29:19. > :29:30.a bit and that is the best thing you got. It probably won't be that bag
:29:30. > :29:39.of -- bad. Sometimes you can do a good job. You are opposite Joe
:29:39. > :29:45.Scarborough 's remark I am. A lot of work going on at the moment. This is
:29:45. > :29:56.the spare chassis that they have had to rebuild overnight. They have not
:29:56. > :29:59.done any extra work on the car. The are stuck with the plan but they
:29:59. > :30:05.initially had and they are working hard on this curb. A difficult
:30:05. > :30:10.weekend for him as well. He heads down shoe turns one and two. At the
:30:10. > :30:15.moment, the four rara is are not doing a lot. He is 11th fastest on
:30:15. > :30:25.that lap. We are yet to see a time to him. We have not seen him
:30:25. > :30:31.establish a lap time yet. He goes through the chicane clearly. There
:30:31. > :30:37.is lot of comments coming in through Twitter. Just got in from a night of
:30:37. > :30:44.watching the Formula 1. Great comment. In the changes of a new
:30:44. > :30:56.power unit in 2014, will we still have DIS? It will disappear into a
:30:56. > :31:06.hybrid engine. It will be used in conjunction with something else.
:31:06. > :31:15.There will be a driver pressed on. The BRS that is my opinion. Do you
:31:15. > :31:37.think about Rome and grow John has reached at the same pace? -- Roman.
:31:37. > :31:54.He asked to say look, I'm your man. -- house -- has to say. The question
:31:54. > :31:57.has been about is solidity and staying out of trouble on the track.
:31:57. > :32:13.-- he's. -- his. What's going on here, Gary? We see
:32:13. > :32:28.these cars, they are all covered in bodywork. Let's get down to Jenny,
:32:28. > :32:38.what is going on at Red Bull. --? At the back of Mark Webber's car. You
:32:38. > :32:49.can clearly see that on Mark Webber's car. We can see on
:32:49. > :33:01.Sebastian Vettel's car, which they are just firing up. This is just
:33:01. > :33:13.about getting the right downforce. Webber is doing 203. That is just a
:33:13. > :33:29.gust of wind indifference. -- in different. Difference.
:33:30. > :33:40.Interesting, he has just gone quickest. Then again over the curb.
:33:40. > :33:58.-- Hamilton. Another replay here, Gary. It took
:33:58. > :34:16.him a while to get back on. The Jenson button griller. -- gorilla.
:34:17. > :34:36.One of them gained via 10th of a second. -- five ninths. -- five
:34:36. > :34:49.tenths. He is last of the runners at the
:34:49. > :35:01.moment. White writing on the side wall. When we saw his car bottom
:35:01. > :35:14.before. He has been on the median tyres for a while now. -- medium. He
:35:14. > :35:22.is having a tough time, isn't he? So much grip says Lewis Hamilton. A
:35:22. > :35:43.headwind blowing up through those bands. -- bends. You are getting
:35:43. > :35:55.help through those very tricky curves. That headwind will also
:35:55. > :36:04.help. It really is like a different circuit today. We will wait to see
:36:04. > :36:11.when he puts the medium compound tyre on. I will think because he
:36:11. > :36:20.wants to do a little bit more work tyre on. I will think because he
:36:20. > :36:26.on the higher fuel load. Awful qualifying and then you have to use
:36:26. > :36:47.it at the start of the race. -- or four -- for. You can see by his head
:36:47. > :36:56.position. Please turn right, it didn't want to do that. Oh no, he
:36:56. > :37:04.got a bit sideways there. Just swipes it off there. There is
:37:04. > :37:14.another victim of the unforgiving Suzuka circuit. Just lost control as
:37:14. > :37:21.he came out of that corner. You have the headwind giving you that extra
:37:21. > :37:34.grip. The transformation of the car between those is bigger than normal.
:37:34. > :37:42.He clambers out of the car. There is a bit of work for those guys. It
:37:42. > :37:51.looks pretty straightforward. Clips the first curb okay. That wind from
:37:51. > :38:00.behind just changes the balance of the car. You want to come out of
:38:00. > :38:16.there as quickly as possible. Too much throttle to Airlie. -- too
:38:16. > :38:25.early. The cars are quite a handful. It is making it very tricky to
:38:25. > :38:35.drive. It has changed since it went back to last year's construction. It
:38:35. > :38:44.is a thing of responsibility. It does make one car better than the
:38:44. > :38:52.other, but at the end of the day they have to respond to it because
:38:52. > :39:07.that is their job. When he came back in, I happen to be at the front of
:39:07. > :39:10.the Mercedes Garrard. -- garage. They have just put some soft tyres
:39:10. > :39:28.on a pink, so he will be back out soon. -- I think. Bouncing over the
:39:28. > :39:40.curbs. A skid plate there. The interesting thing was that punctured
:39:40. > :39:47.his tyre and sparked. That will look into why Sebastian Vettel will have
:39:47. > :39:54.a tyre failure. Still use that skid plate and it still makes sparks.
:39:54. > :40:03.That is the end of the session clearly for him. We have 25 minutes
:40:03. > :40:04.to go in this practice session. He is 18 minutes in the overall
:40:04. > :40:41.standings. -- he is 18 th. I think if you look at yesterday's
:40:41. > :40:48.time, back to a reasonably comfortable time. I think the same
:40:48. > :40:55.cars will be at the front again at the end of the session. I would have
:40:55. > :41:01.said there will be five or six cars that will be able to do that and
:41:01. > :41:15.rest. Looking at Alonzo, he is on the harder tyre. Down to second
:41:15. > :41:25.gear. Watch that speed rise now. Absolutely flat out. Until he comes
:41:25. > :41:35.up towards spin corner. Takes another gear down, or gear for the
:41:35. > :41:44.second part. -- fourth. And then he has backed off. Very quickly. Put
:41:44. > :41:49.the gearbox into one gear before he takes out the other one, so there is
:41:49. > :41:58.minimum loss as far as he is concerned. You can hear the
:41:58. > :42:07.driveshaft winding up. You shouldn't have that if the gear changes are
:42:08. > :42:18.working 100% correctly. Ferrari can hear that, some other Khasi can hear
:42:18. > :42:26.that. -- cars. We can learn from watching the camera is a bit small.
:42:26. > :42:37.-- bit more. Currently sixth fastest. They haven't gone to the
:42:37. > :42:47.softer compound tyres yet. We wait expect to see any more improvements
:42:47. > :42:56.at this point in the session. -- would not. Chance to do a qualifying
:42:56. > :43:03.simulation and see what pace they can do exactly. With all Lewis
:43:03. > :43:15.Hamilton a little bit earlier in the session. -- we saw. Suzuka track
:43:15. > :43:22.really looks after the fans. There is always a big screen in all of the
:43:22. > :43:31.grandstands. It is an area that spectators can't really get to see
:43:31. > :43:52.the marshals enjoy the view there. -- sorry -- so the marshals.
:43:52. > :44:04.Sebastian Vettel. Across the line goes Rothberg. That was about two
:44:04. > :44:11.10th slower than his previous best. There were fans for each and every
:44:11. > :44:18.driver out there in Japan. The excitement is great. A fair bit of
:44:18. > :44:36.work going on in the Red Bull barrage at the moment. -- garage.
:44:36. > :44:50.They do play around a fair bit. It sort of is a compromise. Especially
:44:50. > :44:51.for the race, you want to make sure you are looking after the rear
:44:51. > :45:01.wheels. Tom, do you have any news for us
:45:01. > :45:15.there? They have replaced it. It looks like
:45:15. > :45:26.he will be back out before the end of the session which is crucial.
:45:26. > :45:33.Quick work by the team there. He has come on quite well in the last few
:45:33. > :45:44.races. Those new part also seem to have helped his car. There is no
:45:44. > :45:55.room for complacency. That is not what he needs at the moment. You
:45:55. > :45:58.need a bit of a push. Sometimes drivers have different drivers star
:45:58. > :46:04.and can find a bit of time in a certain area and can learn from each
:46:04. > :46:12.other. It is also that he has come on better. His car has suited him
:46:12. > :46:18.better. He has used the car that in the best possible way. We saw that a
:46:18. > :46:22.bit last year with Ferrari. The tragedy were meeting the inks with a
:46:22. > :46:25.bit last year with Ferrari. The car that was clearly not competitive
:46:25. > :46:31.and then as the car got better through the year, we saw him get
:46:31. > :46:36.better and improve. The improved relative to his earlier performance.
:46:36. > :46:42.When you are driving a car to its limit, and limit is actually quite
:46:42. > :46:48.good. He can recognise a driver and recognise that weather. A driver who
:46:48. > :46:54.tries to hide just pushes it to hide. He was always driving the car
:46:54. > :47:10.and making lots of mistakes. Some of them were massive. He is on the
:47:10. > :47:17.softer tyre now. Nobody is on prime-time. You are clear very good
:47:17. > :47:26.run. What you think on that? It is difficult. The harder of the two
:47:26. > :47:34.tyres. Webber We saw that his problem and not quicker but is not
:47:34. > :47:39.too far away. Is the consistency of the tyre that they should be looking
:47:39. > :47:48.at now stop them getting a time on it. Interestingly, there is a bit of
:47:48. > :47:57.a rumour on Twitter has been created by Mark Hughes, is rumoured to be
:47:57. > :48:04.heading back to McLaren. You think that is headline grabbing? There
:48:04. > :48:10.might be a headline grabbing change. Anyone who has heard at Rebel would
:48:10. > :48:14.be a valuable asset that those happening in those great stock for
:48:15. > :48:16.McLaren. There must be some reason why he is moving on from that
:48:16. > :48:25.McLaren. There must be some reason building because it is a team that
:48:25. > :48:31.is really working in harmony. They could use his Rebel experience. He
:48:31. > :48:37.has been with McLaren before. Yes, he had a great relationship with
:48:37. > :48:45.Rebel so I'm surprised that someone of that level is leaving red ball to
:48:45. > :48:54.go to McLaren. Mike Hughes is very respected journalist. We will find
:48:54. > :49:03.out more no doubt. Not long to go here on the track, qualifying, the
:49:03. > :49:06.cloud has come over today a little bit more but we still have a track
:49:06. > :49:11.and richer to six degrees. Yesterday it was up of Auty, especially in the
:49:11. > :49:16.afternoon. We had quite a community and the humidity dropped a little
:49:16. > :49:21.bit. We really are having to rethink is a bit stop they do not have a lot
:49:21. > :49:25.of time to change the car because once you get out of the third track
:49:25. > :49:29.session you have to fine tune it for qualifying and then you cannot
:49:29. > :49:37.change that all stop the only thing you can change is the setup. You
:49:37. > :49:42.cannot just a car for after qualifying for the race you are
:49:42. > :49:48.stuck with we got. Is have a look at a replay, what are we seeing here,
:49:48. > :49:57.Hamilton running a wide again. This was the first part of it. As ever,
:49:57. > :50:01.taking the car to the very limit, so much grip on the road. He is still
:50:01. > :50:06.experimenting with the boundaries. It is up to use it a little bit
:50:06. > :50:17.occurs you could lose a lot of lap time. Hamilton is this fastest at
:50:17. > :50:24.the moment. Interestingly, there are only two cars running the medium
:50:24. > :50:32.tyre. That is because he had a puncture. There is still a lot of
:50:32. > :50:43.what they can do. More news from red will. Big dramas for Sebastien
:50:43. > :50:49.Vettel. He has walked it in with a T-shirt on. They are changing the
:50:49. > :50:55.cars that reads. He is not going to get back out at the end of the
:50:55. > :51:00.session so it will be Acehnese to see how he gets on in qualifying
:51:00. > :51:07.this afternoon. Is going to miss out on a quick run. In the past, if he
:51:07. > :51:14.didn't have occurs earlier on when he did that, he is looking in very
:51:14. > :51:21.good shape he would be in qualifying using the test possible at time. It
:51:21. > :51:30.will be very close between Mark Webber and him. This should at the
:51:31. > :51:37.qualifying will be pretty impressive stop it has this amazing record here
:51:37. > :51:45.of four prime positions in the last four years. You wonder at any going
:51:45. > :51:53.to knock him off his perch. Mark Webber will be up for it. Is or is
:51:53. > :51:59.very fast on this corners. He is trying to break that sequence that
:51:59. > :52:03.Vettel has been giving him. He reviewed a little bit of an age but
:52:03. > :52:07.we have seen Mac one before do an amazing job in qualifying and he has
:52:07. > :52:14.only been given one run her qualifying session. We will have a
:52:14. > :52:19.look at the chicane again. Even Iceland motion shot. Interestingly,
:52:19. > :52:28.we have no more laps than anyone else. Because you are not into the
:52:28. > :52:36.gravel trap and is making up for that. He believes is doing the right
:52:36. > :52:41.thing. The win today's going to be similar to win tomorrow. You want to
:52:41. > :52:45.do that well. I'm confused why people on giving it a little bit
:52:45. > :52:52.more. It is about maximum learning possible. The track will be a bit
:52:52. > :52:59.better. An annual problem do a better lap. When everyone does it in
:52:59. > :53:06.qualifying at the same time, it seems a bit strange. He is off
:53:06. > :53:10.again. He is a like Hamilton and has been warring track limits. He
:53:10. > :53:17.again. He is a like Hamilton and has doesn't want to be getting in the
:53:17. > :53:21.have it all it later on. They've managed to repair the exhaust system
:53:21. > :53:30.we saw earlier. Thankfully they have gone back on the circuit stop he
:53:30. > :53:34.joined us on the coverage yesterday. Entertainers with some of his
:53:34. > :53:41.opinion. There is a tall man in Formula 1 stop here is busy trying
:53:41. > :53:49.to sort out its future in Formula 1. Still no word as to whether he will
:53:49. > :53:53.be seen next year. Sebastian Vettel in jeans and his Rebel T-shirt is
:53:53. > :53:59.out of the rest of the session with just over 11 to go. Just a little
:53:59. > :54:06.problem with you and not often see problems for them. Over the years,
:54:06. > :54:13.we have seen that his crash quite heavily in practice and still come
:54:13. > :54:19.out on Saturday and blitz everybody. He is very good at managing his mind
:54:19. > :54:27.and ensure that he gets on with the job. He does a pretty good job and
:54:27. > :54:35.is doing that. He is one of those fans. Even a works in a different
:54:35. > :54:41.team. He is very supportive of what Vettel has done in the last couple
:54:41. > :54:46.of years. This is the little bit of calm before the storm. We have 18
:54:46. > :54:53.cars in the pit at the moment stop as he gets a quick lap or two in the
:54:53. > :54:58.car to check the fix they have done on the exhaust. A look of
:54:58. > :55:04.disappointment on the fence face because they are back in the pit.
:55:04. > :55:13.Ten minutes to go or have equivalent. It is just a matter of
:55:13. > :55:19.making sure he was a K. Being sure you're ready to go the final lap
:55:19. > :55:28.time. He is but his speed trap the year up to 304 kilometres now. Very
:55:28. > :55:30.interesting to note that. Right now that was a lap is set on the softer
:55:30. > :55:34.compound tyre stop you will probably that was a lap is set on the softer
:55:34. > :55:40.see him dropped down the order because they have not got the best
:55:40. > :55:44.tyres. Vettel have not done the best simulation run. He could be a dark
:55:44. > :55:52.horse. He will test more than normal. Whether they are going to
:55:52. > :56:02.apply any pressure to Mercedes will have to wait and see. The gap
:56:02. > :56:11.between red Bull is quite large. It seemed like the gap was a little bit
:56:11. > :56:17.less. When the notice here, they almost give Vettel a hard time. You
:56:17. > :56:21.never knew what Vettel had in hand until you catch him. Most of the
:56:21. > :56:30.time. But they are doing their homework right, as long as they are
:56:30. > :56:38.doing it. The really are looking very strong with regard to how race
:56:38. > :56:45.times are going. This could be a very interesting next lap. It is
:56:45. > :56:50.about half way around. He is on the extreme softer tower. Ferrari have
:56:50. > :57:00.been struggling in all of finding throughout the year, have not had a
:57:00. > :57:04.pole star the whole year. It is not right you would expect from a team
:57:04. > :57:17.like Ferrari stop less travelled this, and I of spiking. Whole -- a
:57:17. > :57:21.little bit of spiking. They get stuck in the queue and they could
:57:21. > :57:27.not use what has usually been a race basis. He had to move up through the
:57:27. > :57:32.order. Here is Alonso going on to the quick lap and we will see that
:57:32. > :57:37.he can do stop there is a little bit of power when we Newtonian at high
:57:37. > :57:43.speed. It is a very easy right-hand turn. Once you get the car in
:57:43. > :57:48.position for this you really need to get because if you do not keep it
:57:48. > :57:55.online you just get worse and worse. It is an important lap and important
:57:55. > :57:59.corner to start the lap. It gives a driver confidence how high it can
:57:59. > :58:06.push for the rest of the lap. It does not headed as hard as it can
:58:06. > :58:20.do. Now we are going down towards hairpin. That was all fairly wide.
:58:20. > :58:29.He missed the apex ashore. -- for sure. He is nowhere near that turf
:58:29. > :58:36.as he does so. The oversteer in the mid- corner. Definitely. And then it
:58:36. > :58:43.changes to another corner, that decision. The rear got loose. For
:58:43. > :58:51.the left-hander it was this boom when he overtook Michael Schumacher
:58:51. > :59:01.2000 years ago. Into the chicane becomes, he drops down quite steeply
:59:01. > :59:04.and it is a 132.8, which puts him further think we are going to see
:59:04. > :59:15.quite a improvements around him there. He probably will be at least
:59:15. > :59:26..5 of a second off the pace. We have to wait and see what the red Bull is
:59:26. > :59:31.going to be doing. He is sitting in a garage for half of the session and
:59:31. > :59:36.I do not understand why a bad driver would do that. He is just about to
:59:36. > :59:42.complete his lap as well. His personal best and first in again on
:59:42. > :59:57.the softer tyre, he goes into fourth position. Separated by 15,000 of a
:59:57. > :00:04.second -- 0.015 of a second. He is up on the first sector. Which is
:00:04. > :00:10.only a little bit quicker than we have seen so far. We have seen some
:00:10. > :00:19.quicker first sectors than that. Again, and little bit wide. Maybe
:00:19. > :00:37.there is a little bit of a deep there and that upsets the traction.
:00:37. > :00:45.-- dip. That is where you are going through a whole 180 degrees from
:00:45. > :00:53.headwind to tail wind. And a good middle sector there. Very fast
:00:53. > :01:02.middle sector there. Just what is going to be the targets here for
:01:02. > :01:18.Mark Webber? Put in six tenths faster than anyone else -- him. Get
:01:18. > :01:24.past him without losing any time. Their usual target is to get into
:01:24. > :01:34.that top ten safely and securely. That is what they will be trying to
:01:34. > :01:49.do here. Neat and tidy on the way. 30 28. -- 32 eight. I think there
:01:49. > :01:57.will be quite a few cars up ahead of them once we see the likes of
:01:57. > :02:20.Mercedes out there. All of the rest are getting ready to build up. Just
:02:20. > :02:27.watching from the pit garage. I think he won't be too unhappy with
:02:27. > :02:37.that. It does move them into contention with a Ferrari. Not quite
:02:37. > :02:47.as quick there. If he is also one battling for the top ten. He is in
:02:47. > :03:00.the same kind of ballpark normally. Very quick here. -- very quick here
:03:01. > :03:08.in 2011. Currently 16th. A think that was on his softer tyre.
:03:09. > :03:17.Hamilton just started his third fastest lap. I'm not sure why, he
:03:17. > :03:26.had started his warmup lap that maybe the Tigers went there
:03:26. > :03:36.something. -- Tigers were not -- tyres. He hasn't really done very
:03:36. > :03:46.much yet. He has gone back out on a set of hard tyres. He is about to
:03:46. > :04:05.come out of the final term there. -- turn. She is watching that progress
:04:05. > :04:15.closely, I am sure. Not too bad. He is down by a 10th on web. -- Mark
:04:15. > :04:26.Webber. Whether it is close enough to go on a lot. -- or not. You
:04:26. > :04:33.wonder if they really have the pace to take the challenge to Red Bull.
:04:33. > :04:41.Sebastian Vettel will not be making any more laps in the session.
:04:41. > :04:49.Riccardo goes across the line. That is not as quick. Hamilton has just
:04:49. > :04:58.gone faster than anyone in the first sector so let's watch that lap. It
:04:58. > :05:14.definitely helps whenever you can do that slower lap and get the tyres
:05:14. > :05:20.all working for you. Not a great place but he gets out of the way.
:05:20. > :05:31.That rumbles the vibration through the car, changes up to six year. --
:05:31. > :05:54.sixth gear. Absolutely flat out now, the breaking begins. -- the
:05:54. > :06:08.braking. Certainly a good challenge from Lewis Hamilton. A little bit of
:06:08. > :06:14.fuel, ten mg of fuel. You never know who is keeping that in there to stop
:06:14. > :06:20.showing their true performance. Everybody looks at it after each
:06:20. > :06:28.race and tries to predict what each person does. We didn't get a clear
:06:28. > :06:42.picture. They run a different strategy. They run it better. There
:06:42. > :06:52.is a bit more to come from them. He is back in eighth position there.
:06:52. > :06:56.Lewis Hamilton just slowing down. I don't know if he is doing something
:06:56. > :07:06.that he has been asked to do by the team, checking controls or
:07:06. > :07:14.something. We have an order with Mark Webber having set the pace in
:07:14. > :07:26.the first session. It means that Mercedes have ended up second and
:07:26. > :07:38.third. Fourth for Lotus. Alonso was fifth. Slightly out of position. It
:07:38. > :07:51.is likely that letters could challenge Ferrari. -- Lotus. Even
:07:51. > :07:56.then he is the top ten which is pretty impressive. On the cusp again
:07:56. > :08:24.of getting into the top ten. It has been an interesting
:08:24. > :08:33.practice. We are certainly set up for a jewel for pole position. --
:08:33. > :08:40.dual. Sebastian Vettel will be one to watch. That is certainly the
:08:40. > :08:54.wishful thinking of the drivers up and down this paddock. You can see
:08:54. > :09:00.it again at 1:20pm on BBC One. We will see you in one-hour's time.
:09:00. > :09:03.Thank you. Goodbye.
