:01:07. > :01:11.If anyone tells you that Formula 1 is boring, you may wish to remind
:01:12. > :01:22.them of this nonstop drama a fortnight ago in Montreal.
:01:23. > :01:28.He has the advantage of natural speed. Let them race, but be careful
:01:29. > :01:35.with the brakes, let's see who does the better job. Lights out, away we
:01:36. > :01:49.go, and it is a good start from Hamilton! Hamilton loses second
:01:50. > :01:55.place! Did he touch his team-mate? This is his opportunity, and he
:01:56. > :02:00.makes the most of it. Rosberg, huge moment. He was so close to putting
:02:01. > :02:01.it into the wall. The pressure is relentless, he has got to keep
:02:02. > :02:16.pushing. RADIO: I have lost power, guys. OK,
:02:17. > :02:34.Nico, we are trying to solve it. COMMENTATOR: Incomes Ricciardo, and
:02:35. > :02:42.he has gone out in front of his team-mate. It is a slowish start,
:02:43. > :02:48.this could be a massive opportunity for Lewis Hamilton. And Massa goes
:02:49. > :03:08.ahead! This has got to be a chance for Hamilton to take the lead! And
:03:09. > :03:10.it looks as though the Canadian Grand Prix is all over for the
:03:11. > :03:27.British driver! Massa is in the pit. Perez will take second place. He is
:03:28. > :03:30.going to go down the inside. DAVID COULTHARD: It is not beyond
:03:31. > :03:39.the realms of possibility that he could be challenging for the lead.
:03:40. > :03:47.He has gone too wide, but he gets it back!
:03:48. > :03:52.Ricciardo goes past Rosberg to take the lead of the Canadian Grand Prix
:03:53. > :03:57.with just a couple of laps to go! And that is a chance for Vettel. And
:03:58. > :04:09.Sebastian Vettel has snatched the position! Oh, my goodness! Daniel
:04:10. > :04:15.Ricciardo takes his first ever Grand Prix win, he wins in Canada! Red
:04:16. > :04:26.Bull are back! Despite those big accidents, happy
:04:27. > :04:30.to say that no one was hurt in the making of the Canadian Grand Prix.
:04:31. > :04:37.So, after 11 years, welcome back to Austria, to qualifying from the
:04:38. > :04:43.beautiful mountains. And of course, David Coulthard raced here, and did
:04:44. > :04:48.very well, more points and more podiums than anyone else, so why did
:04:49. > :04:54.it suit you so much? I think the fact that it has got a lot of
:04:55. > :04:58.elevation, 12% gradient coming up to turn two. We are above sea level, so
:04:59. > :05:02.you have got less downforce available. It will not affect the
:05:03. > :05:06.horsepower this year, because they have got the turbos, but it meant
:05:07. > :05:10.the car, the challenge, the blind corners, one of that made it a
:05:11. > :05:17.high-speed roller-coaster, and I quite like those! It is a fast lap
:05:18. > :05:23.here, so will we see a really tight qualifying session, do you think?
:05:24. > :05:29.Yes, the lap distance is the same as Canada, but because there are only
:05:30. > :05:35.eight corners, the lap time is very short. So, expect to see several
:05:36. > :05:39.cars within a 10th of a second. We saw Daniel Ricciardo winning in
:05:40. > :05:42.Canada, that was a great weekend from him come so do you think he
:05:43. > :05:48.will come here with momentum? Confidence, definitely. It is his
:05:49. > :05:52.first win. He has got all the confidence. That will settle his
:05:53. > :05:56.mind. It will all be down to the performance of the car, of course.
:05:57. > :05:59.We know he has been doing a great job, relative to four times world
:06:00. > :06:03.champion Sebastian Vettel, but it will all be about horsepower, which
:06:04. > :06:09.will probably lend itself more to the Mercedes drivers. We have been
:06:10. > :06:18.catching up with Daniel Ricciardo, as he was walking around the track.
:06:19. > :06:25.Here he is. Formula 1's newest race winner. How are you?! Can you say
:06:26. > :06:29.that again?! COMMENTATOR: Daniel Ricciardo takes
:06:30. > :06:34.his first ever Grand Prix win! Tell us what was happening in the
:06:35. > :06:40.cockpit. I do not know, I was a bit silent, actually. Don't get me
:06:41. > :06:44.wrong, I was ecstatic, obviously, I know that the radio gets fed out, so
:06:45. > :06:52.I was like, don't do anything which is going to be weird. Five times as
:06:53. > :06:59.many people have been into space and have won Grand Prix. What?!
:07:00. > :07:05.Really?! How has it changed your life, has it moved the goalposts for
:07:06. > :07:09.you? It was probably the greatest day of my life, so now it is just
:07:10. > :07:12.keep connecting the dots and building it towards a World
:07:13. > :07:16.Championship one day. Was there a sense of relief for you in a way
:07:17. > :07:20.that your mother was not in Montreal, because she had been to
:07:21. > :07:27.all of your other podiums so far, and you were beginning to think it
:07:28. > :07:31.was a jinx? I spoke to them at about 7.30 that evening after the race,
:07:32. > :07:36.which was 7.30 in the morning for them, and I was still up drinking
:07:37. > :07:40.champagne. -- they were still up. So I think they have a pretty good
:07:41. > :07:45.party back in Australia. Any indications on how the team is
:07:46. > :07:49.treating you, and Sebastian? They have been great from the first day.
:07:50. > :07:54.Mosson was really good. He was gracious in defeat, if that is what
:07:55. > :07:59.you call it, he gave me a lot of respect after the race. They could
:08:00. > :08:03.see how much it meant to me. It was such an opportunistic win as well,
:08:04. > :08:08.you just nailed it around the pit stops? That is what I was really
:08:09. > :08:13.proud of. Yes, Mercedes were quickest, but they had some issues,
:08:14. > :08:17.and who knows, it might be our only chance in a long time to get a win,
:08:18. > :08:20.and it was good that we capitalised, made the move when we could and did
:08:21. > :08:30.everything, we did not leave anything on the table. I hope you
:08:31. > :08:34.maximise every have a good weekend. So, the 24-year-old Australian lies
:08:35. > :08:44.in third, six D1 points behind Championship leader Nico Rosberg. --
:08:45. > :08:55.61. Lewis Hamilton now trails Rosberg by 22 points. Mercedes still
:08:56. > :08:56.command the Constructors' Championship with a large lead over
:08:57. > :09:08.Red Bull. So, that is how your teams and
:09:09. > :09:09.drivers stack up. Here is the latest Formula 1 news round-up, with Lee
:09:10. > :09:19.McKenzie. It was announced this week that
:09:20. > :09:22.Michael Schumacher is out of a coma, after his skiing accident in
:09:23. > :09:26.December. He has been transferred to another hospital to continue his
:09:27. > :09:32.rehabilitation. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg's cars suffered the
:09:33. > :09:41.same problem within 22 seconds of each other in Montreal. Hamilton's
:09:42. > :09:45.could not continue, giving him a very costly not finish. They were
:09:46. > :09:52.both at a critical stage in terms of heat, but Nico was getting clean air
:09:53. > :09:57.into his brake ducts, and I was behind him, in dirty air. So
:09:58. > :10:00.naturally, mine was a bit hotter. So much went wrong in that race, and to
:10:01. > :10:06.bring it home second was really damage limitation day. It was good,
:10:07. > :10:10.definitely. This huge accident at the end of the Grand Prix sent
:10:11. > :10:16.Felipe Massa into the barriers, and Sergio Perez as well. He took a five
:10:17. > :10:22.place penalty for causing the accident, that is adamant it was not
:10:23. > :10:26.his fault. Massa disagrees. The rule says that when a car moves behind
:10:27. > :10:35.you, you cannot move any more, so it is clear. But it happens with young
:10:36. > :10:41.guys. This is a problem. I do not know what they learn in GP2. We are
:10:42. > :10:46.risking our lives, it is not like I wanted to crash or something. I do
:10:47. > :10:50.not see the point of those comments. We came in, we spoke about the
:10:51. > :10:55.accident, I do not think there is much need to speak between us as we
:10:56. > :10:59.will not agree on anything. Sergio seems adamant that it was not his
:11:00. > :11:06.fault? So you see that he will never learn. What would we an appropriate
:11:07. > :11:13.penalty? For me, minimum ten positions. And some points on the
:11:14. > :11:17.driver license! Clearly, a big difference of opinion on that. Let's
:11:18. > :11:22.have another look at the incident. When you first saw it it was
:11:23. > :11:34.difficult to see whose fault it was. DAVID COULTHARD: If you follow the
:11:35. > :11:37.green dotted line, Massa should have taken this as a hint. But you can
:11:38. > :11:46.see Perez coming over to the left which is where the contact was made.
:11:47. > :11:49.When the evidence was presented, it showed that he changed his position
:11:50. > :11:53.slightly, and the rules are clear, you are not allowed to have a change
:11:54. > :11:57.of position to defend your position in the braking zone. And the five
:11:58. > :12:03.place grid penalty still stands, is that the right decision? With the
:12:04. > :12:07.evidence, it is tight, but it is the right decision. Mark Webber is here
:12:08. > :12:13.this weekend, chatting with some fans. Nice to see you. Good to be
:12:14. > :12:17.here! Is this a world away from where you are right now in your
:12:18. > :12:22.head? Pretty much, I have been parachuted in this weekend, but it
:12:23. > :12:26.is good to be here. I am just so happy that Formula 1 is returning to
:12:27. > :12:31.a traditional circuit, it is an original circuit, obviously it is
:12:32. > :12:35.shorter than the previous version, but some of these new venues are
:12:36. > :12:41.lacking a bit of character, and this is an all school circuit. Over this
:12:42. > :12:46.weekend, 225,000 fans will be turning up, I think tickets were
:12:47. > :12:51.sold out in 48 hours - how important is it that this stays on the
:12:52. > :12:56.calendar? We are actually not far from Budapest, so a lot of people
:12:57. > :13:01.from this region would go to the Budapest Grand Prix, but now that
:13:02. > :13:14.this is back on the calendar, people will come here in Austria. It is a
:13:15. > :13:20.tricky lap to put together. There is a bit of innovation and change, and
:13:21. > :13:29.some bumps. The first sector, the exit is very important crummy as you
:13:30. > :13:34.can see, they put this yellow kerb on to control them as they go
:13:35. > :13:37.through the gradient. You are used to this recoverable energy in sports
:13:38. > :13:41.cars, but what would you think if you were raising the Formula 1 cars,
:13:42. > :13:46.what would be the big difference over what you have raised
:13:47. > :13:51.previously? Yes, the amount of information the driver has got to
:13:52. > :13:54.take on in the braking area, the electronic brake balance situation
:13:55. > :14:00.as well, these are all facets which the driver has to balance on the way
:14:01. > :14:05.into the corner. These double lefts are quite important for lap time as
:14:06. > :14:09.well. You are using a bit of kerb on the Exeter. This long left-hander
:14:10. > :14:14.goes on for ever. A little bit on the old neck muscles. And then both
:14:15. > :14:19.of these corners are blind towards the end of the lap. You cannot see
:14:20. > :14:24.the apex that well. It is a good little track, a lot of character. We
:14:25. > :14:30.have seen a number of cars running wide here? Yes, the drivers would
:14:31. > :14:35.probably like that except kerb to run a bit longer. But it is good,
:14:36. > :14:38.they have got to concentrate. It sounds like it is going to be a
:14:39. > :14:43.really good qualifying session. Just to get a word with you about Daniel
:14:44. > :14:48.Ricciardo, he seems to have adapted so incredibly well to the new
:14:49. > :14:52.technology and the new team? Star of the year so far for me, driver of
:14:53. > :14:55.the year so far. He is certainly very, very confident, in any
:14:56. > :15:01.conditions. The amount of errors he is making is minimal. he is
:15:02. > :15:08.constantly putting in the lap times. He is brave as well. He has had a
:15:09. > :15:11.crack at Monaco, and I am very happy to have the Australian national
:15:12. > :15:19.anthem playing so quickly after I got a few lucky results! Thank you
:15:20. > :15:31.very much. Let's get the latest from the pit lane, with Tom Clarkson. The
:15:32. > :15:40.teams with the biggest headaches are McLaren and Force India. They have
:15:41. > :15:49.replaced the rear right break caliper. Down at Force India, Sergio
:15:50. > :15:55.Perez did a very spectacular wheelie after he ran wide of the X it at the
:15:56. > :16:02.far corner. He came down very heavily on the front suspension.
:16:03. > :16:07.Apart from that, everyone hours is looking good and all 22 cars should
:16:08. > :16:28.be out at the start of the session. -- everyone else.
:16:29. > :16:35.Qualifying begins in the heart of the Austrian countryside. Who will
:16:36. > :16:40.conquer the demanding Red Bull Ring? Let's get an idea of what the
:16:41. > :16:48.targets are in the first session. Down to our man in the pits, Tom
:16:49. > :16:54.Clarkson. It will be very tight. In final practice, the top four cars
:16:55. > :17:04.separated by .2 of a second. The time for us to look out for is
:17:05. > :17:10.1:11.2. As we have been saying, that is a faster lap than many we go to.
:17:11. > :17:16.They are getting around it in just over 70 seconds, maybe just under.
:17:17. > :17:25.Two Austrian heroes of Grand Prix racing. Helmut Marko lost and I and
:17:26. > :17:36.that prevented him carrying on and get hard burger. They will be out in
:17:37. > :17:41.a Legends parade tonight. He hurt his arm in a skiing accident this
:17:42. > :17:48.winter. He cannot lift his left arm. He said, three of the legends, one
:17:49. > :17:54.has no eye, one cannot move his arm and the other is missing an year.
:17:55. > :18:02.Three of the legends of the walking wounded right now. In that time,
:18:03. > :18:15.they have been heroes here. How much Marko won the first ever race, a
:18:16. > :18:19.saloon car race. -- Helmut. Let's focus now on the cars that are out
:18:20. > :18:27.on the circuit. Immediately out on the track, Daniil Kvyat. He was
:18:28. > :18:35.fourth fastest. We are going on board with him now. He is going for
:18:36. > :18:40.another lap to prepare the rubber. They have been struggling to get the
:18:41. > :18:51.temperature in the soft tyres. They are taking an extra lap to try to
:18:52. > :18:57.generate the heat. I was in first gear when I was actually in neutral
:18:58. > :19:05.so I went back to neutral and put it into first gear. ) the team has had
:19:06. > :19:15.a tough morning so far. -- the team has had a tough morning. It did not
:19:16. > :19:20.engage the gear so it has more than likely gone dock to dock. It will
:19:21. > :19:31.give a half display on the dashboard. Clearly there are some
:19:32. > :19:36.soft -- software issues. Just to confirm, it was Valterri Bottas
:19:37. > :19:40.fastest this morning from Lewis Hamilton. Felipe Massa was third.
:19:41. > :19:48.Daniil Kvyat was strong in the Tyrone Rosso. We will be keeping an
:19:49. > :19:54.eye on Fernando Alonso. -- beat Tyrone Rosso. Most of these guys are
:19:55. > :19:59.on the harder of the compound tyres. It does look like we will see the
:20:00. > :20:14.Marussias and the catering is going out on the super-soft tyres. --
:20:15. > :20:21.Caterhams. That was pretty good. They will get penalised if they are
:20:22. > :20:27.too wide on Turn 8. An opening gambit therefore Daniil Kvyat. That
:20:28. > :20:30.is the sort of closeness we are expecting to see between team-mates.
:20:31. > :20:35.Daniel Gilliat gets the initial advantage. Q1 is all about getting
:20:36. > :20:58.into the top 16. -- Daniel Kibby at. Holcombe Berg goes quickest. He is
:20:59. > :21:06.marginally -- Nico Hulkenberg goes quickest. He is marginally faster
:21:07. > :21:12.than Daniil Kvyat. The only exception to the super-soft users is
:21:13. > :21:18.Emilio Gutierrez. I believe that was an image of the new partner of Kimi
:21:19. > :21:24.Raikkonen. The Williams is going very slowly. Hopefully he is not in
:21:25. > :21:29.trouble. I have just seen that Fernando Alonso has gone fastest. We
:21:30. > :21:34.will see a rapid change. You need to keep your eyes peeled to see the
:21:35. > :21:43.changes. What about the opening gambit by Hamilton? Not as quick as
:21:44. > :21:53.that. It would be interesting to see where Valterri Bottas ends up. Let's
:21:54. > :21:59.see what Nico Rosberg does as he puts in his first lap. Hamilton has
:22:00. > :22:03.had the edge so far. He is three tenths slower than his team-mate.
:22:04. > :22:11.Fernando Alonso is in third. You are outside the Ferrari garage. Mercedes
:22:12. > :22:15.are one and two but they will be encouraged by the pace of Alonso.
:22:16. > :22:20.They will be able to use the updates slated to Canada but could not use.
:22:21. > :22:23.They have been able to run knows this weekend. Alonso was very
:22:24. > :22:33.positive one I caught up with him this morning. That was Jenson Button
:22:34. > :22:41.having a moment at the first corner. It looks like Jenson Button was
:22:42. > :22:47.hoping to catch the caterer. He lost downforce and ran wide. Let's watch
:22:48. > :23:00.Fernando Alonso as he comes through here. That was a big slide. He comes
:23:01. > :23:07.out of the last corner. A big chunk of oversteer through the panel to a
:23:08. > :23:15.corner. A slightly better lap. -- the penultimate corner. He had the
:23:16. > :23:23.big slide at Turn 8. This will be a crucial corner. If you take all four
:23:24. > :23:27.wheels over the line, immediately you have your turn disallowed. You
:23:28. > :23:35.will get one or two warnings and then you will get a five second
:23:36. > :23:41.penalty. Hamilton is still faster than Nico Rosberg. He is still just
:23:42. > :23:46.a fraction behind. Sebastian Vettel has gone ninth fastest on the last
:23:47. > :23:52.lap. Red Bull were struggling to get into the top ten this morning.
:23:53. > :23:57.Sebastian Vettel achieved it. It will not be an easy day for Red Bull
:23:58. > :24:03.despite this being at their home track, loaned by their boss, even if
:24:04. > :24:07.the team is actually based in the UK. They have their other home track
:24:08. > :24:13.coming up in a few weeks, at Silverstone. I think they will get
:24:14. > :24:20.through to the next part of qualifying. I would be surprised to
:24:21. > :24:24.see them run again. If they do it will be the fact that they want to
:24:25. > :24:32.learn something from a new set of tyres. Fernando Alonso is fifth
:24:33. > :24:39.fastest. He is on the harder of the compound tyres. This is Turn 8. A
:24:40. > :24:44.big oversteer slide in the middle of the corner. He had to use the
:24:45. > :24:50.run-off. That lap has to be disallowed. It has come up on our
:24:51. > :24:56.screen. They'd turn in with such high speed. Minimum speed on the
:24:57. > :25:01.apex is 130 miles an hour. Not a slow corner by any stretch of the
:25:02. > :25:04.imagination. Normally you would expect the car to understeer
:25:05. > :25:10.slightly through a corner like that. I suspect a lot of the drivers
:25:11. > :25:14.have gone with more front wing angle which is putting a district portion
:25:15. > :25:20.at amount of front load on the axle. For qualifying, they are trying to
:25:21. > :25:30.get heat into the front tyres. Daniel Ricardo has done 1:10.3.
:25:31. > :25:35.Felipe Massa is in third. Then we have 11 cars covered by a second
:25:36. > :25:43.behind NAT. It'll be very tight. Williams next best the Mercedes.
:25:44. > :25:49.Kimi Raikkonen is closer to Fernando Alonso. In terms of time he is three
:25:50. > :25:59.tenths of a second. In the drop zone currently we have the Stauber of
:26:00. > :26:09.Emilio Gutierrez, the Marussias. We have Kamui Kobayashi and Marcus
:26:10. > :26:17.Ericsson. It looks unlikely we will need to go again but get the car
:26:18. > :26:24.ready. It is an impressive time from Jules Bianchi. He is just over a
:26:25. > :26:31.tenth behind Adrian Sutil. Exactly the same lap time as Esteban
:26:32. > :26:37.Gutierrez. An improvement for Romain Grosjean. He has been struggling a
:26:38. > :26:40.bit this weekend. The difficulty is getting the super-soft tired to
:26:41. > :26:47.work. He was on the super-soft tired to do that. In some ways, he would
:26:48. > :26:52.have to think he needs to do a little more. Hopefully that will be
:26:53. > :26:57.enough to see him in the next part of qualifying. We reckon there is
:26:58. > :27:04.anything from half a second plus on the super-soft higher. A sizeable
:27:05. > :27:13.gain if you just apply the half second. That would put him in 13th
:27:14. > :27:30.place. Jules Bianchi is the fastest of the young teams. The two patrons
:27:31. > :27:41.are bringing up the rear. -- the two Caterhams are bringing up the rear.
:27:42. > :27:49.Daniil Kvyat puts himself up into second. Certainly he has his eye
:27:50. > :27:58.dialled in this afternoon. That was a very impressive lap by him. The
:27:59. > :28:04.back end of the car has looked quite unstable. It has not been very happy
:28:05. > :28:11.underbraking. Does he go wide? Not too wide. He gets away with that. A
:28:12. > :28:15.nice turn on the inside. At the moment he is in 17th place. That is
:28:16. > :28:20.a useful improvement. I think he will be relatively happy with the
:28:21. > :28:25.time. It is difficult to see if they are running wide or not. There is a
:28:26. > :28:34.huge advertising banner on the run-off area. Adrian Sutil is off
:28:35. > :28:39.track. He has had time disallowed. It is just the pressure pads. A
:28:40. > :28:44.light goes on and eight big arrow point at them to make it easier for
:28:45. > :28:51.us to be able to tell what is going on. You can see that Jenson Button
:28:52. > :28:58.was well within the restraints required. Let's see what they do
:28:59. > :29:03.here. Jenson Button goes 12th. He is ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. That was an
:29:04. > :29:09.out lap. Let's see what the Dane can do. He raised here in the World
:29:10. > :29:15.Series last year. Now he is getting to grips with a Formula One car. He
:29:16. > :29:21.is up to fourth. That is very impressive from Kevin Magnussen. He
:29:22. > :29:27.is keeping a watchful eye on that. This is where Adrian Sutil went
:29:28. > :29:33.wide. He got greedy with the oversteer. The momentum just takes
:29:34. > :29:38.you there. You know you are not supposed to. You have thrown it
:29:39. > :29:46.through the apex and the track is dropping away. Not enough grip from
:29:47. > :29:51.the tyres to be able to pull it back on the line -- online. You need to
:29:52. > :29:58.get right up against the kerb at the apex of the corner to have a chance
:29:59. > :30:01.of staying within the white lines. Jules Bianchi has a chance of
:30:02. > :30:06.beating one macro Stauber, if not two. We are just watching Kimi
:30:07. > :30:11.Raikkonen and he moves up to seventh. That puts him ahead of
:30:12. > :30:14.Valterri Bottas at the moment. Felipe Massa about who got us have
:30:15. > :30:20.not done a run on the super-soft. They may have done enough. Again a
:30:21. > :30:24.slide from Adrian Sutil. He is up on what he needs to be in terms of
:30:25. > :30:28.getting into the top 16. Currently he is in the drop zone with his
:30:29. > :30:33.team-mate. Can they move up the order a bit? Pastor Maldonado is
:30:34. > :30:39.putting on an impressive performance. Is this enough for
:30:40. > :30:48.Adrian Sutil to move into the top 16? Not quite. He has missed out by
:30:49. > :30:58.4000th of a second. A good lap by Adrian Sutil. He must have got
:30:59. > :31:03.everything out of the Stauber. On our timing screens, we get
:31:04. > :31:05.indications, and at no point was Sutil faster in any of the sectors,
:31:06. > :31:08.so, just indications, and at no point was
:31:09. > :31:11.Sutil faster in any of used up the life of the tyres. His team-mate,
:31:12. > :31:20.very deliberate in not running wide through the apex of turn eight. And
:31:21. > :31:24.it does look as though both Saubers are out of the qualifying battle.
:31:25. > :31:31.And their difficult season continues. What about Bianchi? Can
:31:32. > :31:39.he move ahead of at least one of the Saubers? That would be a big feather
:31:40. > :31:45.in the of Marussia. No, he has missed out by just a few hundreds.
:31:46. > :31:50.The caterer has been struggling here this weekend, and Max Chilton will
:31:51. > :31:54.definitely start at the very back of the field. He will have been miffed
:31:55. > :31:57.to have seen that Kobayashi was actually quicker than him in
:31:58. > :32:00.qualifying. But to be fair to Chilton, he did not get a run on the
:32:01. > :32:10.super softs in practice this morning.
:32:11. > :32:15.DAVID COULTHARD: He has pulled the lap together. Well done to him. Yes,
:32:16. > :32:19.I think that was a pretty impressive run. But really no surprises in that
:32:20. > :32:31.what group. RADIO: Unfortunately, we are out by
:32:32. > :32:36.nearly half a second. That is a big margin on a short
:32:37. > :32:45.track like this. So, we confirm those which are now out...
:32:46. > :32:54.So, no major shocks in Q1, I am now joined by ten time Grand Prix winner
:32:55. > :33:00.Gerhardt Burger. Great experience here when it was the store) what
:33:01. > :33:06.memories do you have? You're right, the circuit has had a lot of
:33:07. > :33:10.different names! But yes, we Austrian drivers, we grew up on this
:33:11. > :33:14.circuit, so for us it is very important to have a race back here.
:33:15. > :33:19.Thanks to Red Bull, we have a great race back here. They have done a
:33:20. > :33:22.great race on the facility. It is a great racing spirit here, and a lot
:33:23. > :33:27.of fans. We can see from that session held tricky this track is,
:33:28. > :33:31.there seems to be a few problems for some of the drivers, so who
:33:32. > :33:41.impressed you during that session? Difficult to say. Yes, the circuit
:33:42. > :33:44.is tricky, with the kerbs and the couple of difficult lines, but the
:33:45. > :33:47.main issue here is the power, and the power is with the Mercedes. But
:33:48. > :34:03.as we saw in the last race, you never know. Things can turn around.
:34:04. > :34:07.Thank you very much here is Q2. The second part of qualifying gets
:34:08. > :34:12.under way here in Austria. So, who is going to get into the top ten?
:34:13. > :34:15.That is the next question. First car out on the circuit is Nico
:34:16. > :34:19.Hulkenberg, in the Force India. Never raced here in the past, but
:34:20. > :34:23.enjoying the look of the track when he took his walk around the circuit
:34:24. > :34:40.here on Thursday morning. And there is a wonderful view over the trees
:34:41. > :34:45.and the hillside. So, we have seen some impressive times from the CDs,
:34:46. > :34:52.using the harder of the two compounds of tyres. One of the
:34:53. > :34:55.Ferrari 's and the Williams or managed get through that first part
:34:56. > :35:02.of qualifying, without resorting to the soft tyre. Tom, what are your
:35:03. > :35:06.thoughts? For the top teams, the track temperature is now a good 5
:35:07. > :35:08.degrees warmer than when they last around the super soft tyre this
:35:09. > :35:15.morning. That is going to help give more grip. So, in terms of a cut-off
:35:16. > :35:22.time, I think they will have to get well inside the one-minute nines.
:35:23. > :35:26.Hulkenberg is on the super soft tyre, putting in a proper attempt
:35:27. > :35:31.immediately at the start of this session. Coming in to the two
:35:32. > :35:34.crucial right-handers to complete the lap.
:35:35. > :35:39.DAVID COULTHARD: This is where he has got to be careful not to go over
:35:40. > :35:42.the white line. It just looks like he might have taken all four wheels
:35:43. > :35:47.over the line. Unfortunately they have got white paint beyond the
:35:48. > :35:50.white line which meets its difficult for us to identify, so we will have
:35:51. > :35:55.to wait and see what the stewards say. That is certainly the fastest
:35:56. > :35:59.time we have seen from him so far today. Using the super-soft tyres
:36:00. > :36:04.are reasonable effect. But wait until we see what some of the faster
:36:05. > :36:09.teams can do. Hulkenberg the only one so far to have established a lap
:36:10. > :36:15.time. Nothing yet from Mercedes. The other Force India has gone around in
:36:16. > :36:19.an almost identical lap time, so nothing to choose between Hulkenberg
:36:20. > :36:24.and Perez. Riding on board with Magnusson.
:36:25. > :36:27.nothing to choose between Hulkenberg and Perez. Riding It looked to me he
:36:28. > :36:39.was going through that corner in fifth gear. Romain Grosjean and
:36:40. > :36:43.Maldonado both in this second part of qualifying. Only the second time
:36:44. > :36:50.this year that Maldonado has made it into Q2 just he has had so many
:36:51. > :36:57.troubles with the car. That is a fair bit of the pace of the Force
:36:58. > :37:01.Indias for Grosjean. But we did see some drivers putting in a quicker
:37:02. > :37:05.lap on their second flying lap this morning in practice, so that could
:37:06. > :37:10.happen again. Certainly that is the strategy of McLaren. As Raikkonen
:37:11. > :37:18.goes very wide there. That will have cost him time. Kevin Magnussen was
:37:19. > :37:22.fastest of all in the first sector, and that is his second lap on those
:37:23. > :37:26.particular tyres. So, coming across the line, let's see what Kimi
:37:27. > :37:34.Raikkonen has done. That puts him third. Again, behind the Force
:37:35. > :37:37.Indias. I do not think Ferrari would expect to be behind them at this
:37:38. > :37:48.stage. Down with Magnusson again, humming into this tricky turn eight.
:37:49. > :37:51.Perfect. Touches the kerb on the inside, lovely line from Kevin
:37:52. > :37:59.Magnussen. That puts him fastest for the moment. I think that was a
:38:00. > :38:03.pretty good-looking lap. Still no reaction from Eric Boullier on the
:38:04. > :38:10.pit wall. But for the moment, Magnusson is quickest. Still ten
:38:11. > :38:14.minutes to go, though. And we are still waiting to see the fancied
:38:15. > :38:23.cars, the Mercedes and the Williams. Riding with Alonso.
:38:24. > :38:26.It is interesting that Magnusson has found more than half a second over
:38:27. > :38:46.his Q1 time. That looked marginal to me. He is
:38:47. > :38:51.off, here's on the grass! Alonso just gets it act on. That was where
:38:52. > :38:56.Vettel did a complete double 360 yesterday. I think that that will be
:38:57. > :39:00.taken off him. He was over the white line on the exit of turn nine. We
:39:01. > :39:01.will have to see. But Massa goes fastest now. And
:39:02. > :39:08.will have to see. But Massa goes fastest now. And we have got some
:39:09. > :39:12.quick sector is getting set now. The FIA have been clear in stipulating
:39:13. > :39:17.you cannot go beyond the white lines on the exit of turn eight but they
:39:18. > :39:22.have not said anything about turn nine. Clearly you cannot gain
:39:23. > :39:27.anything by being on the grass. So, Bottas rigour than his team-mate.
:39:28. > :39:34.Yes, does he go over the white line on the first part? Yes, he does. So,
:39:35. > :39:39.that counts. And you can gain an advantage there, whereas I suppose
:39:40. > :39:49.on the exit of turn nine, you can't. It would have cost him, running on
:39:50. > :39:51.the grass. The mechanic does not really appreciate that, looks as if
:39:52. > :40:06.he has been sucking on a lemon! Watch out full was Hamilton, who is
:40:07. > :40:16.currently lighting up the timing screens! That was the replay of
:40:17. > :40:22.Alonso. He is on a great lap. Oh, he has backed off, has he? No, he
:40:23. > :40:27.hasn't, he has gone fastest. But that last sector was not as quick as
:40:28. > :40:32.his other sectors. Yes, visibly, it did not look as if he was committed
:40:33. > :40:37.coming across the line. Whether he has had an issue. But not the
:40:38. > :40:42.fastest man in that last sector. Was Berg has just beaten that in the
:40:43. > :40:47.middle sector. So, a little bit down, just by about half a 10th. I
:40:48. > :40:58.would expect, if Rosberg can nail this last couple of corners... Oh,
:40:59. > :41:02.yes, he has gone fastest. So I think Hamilton has not been able to show
:41:03. > :41:12.is exactly what he can do. Ricciardo is coming into the last corner... He
:41:13. > :41:16.goes into ninth place. Let's get some news from Tom in the pit lane.
:41:17. > :41:21.I am trying to cast my beady eye macro into the Ferrari pit to see
:41:22. > :41:31.what they are doing to Fernando Alonso's car. The same thing
:41:32. > :41:37.happened to a car on Friday, going wide at that corner, and the team
:41:38. > :41:42.sought fit to replace part of the floor. But I do not think Ferrari
:41:43. > :41:46.will have the time to do that now. Alonso is not as fast as the
:41:47. > :41:52.Mercedes, but he might just go up a little bit from seventh place. He
:41:53. > :41:59.gains a couple of tenths, moving up one place. As Hulkenberg comes
:42:00. > :42:04.across the line, in seventh. Nothing to choose between them. This is
:42:05. > :42:09.where we get to the heart of the business in qualifying, in Q2, it is
:42:10. > :42:12.extremely tough to get into the top ten. At the moment both Red Bulls
:42:13. > :42:31.are outside it. For those who like comparing
:42:32. > :42:34.different eras, the fastest ever lap time at this track was set by
:42:35. > :42:38.Michael Schumacher in 2003. We are only one second away from that, and
:42:39. > :42:43.still some room for improvement as the track rubbers in. I think that
:42:44. > :42:46.puts spotlight on how good the development of this hybrid
:42:47. > :42:56.technology has been, because the cars have got much less downforce
:42:57. > :43:02.available, in comparison to a decade ago for absolutely. And we are
:43:03. > :43:08.already underneath the 2003 pole position time. Let's just watch
:43:09. > :43:15.Sergio Perez. He had that little moment this morning out of that
:43:16. > :43:19.corner. He did it twice, once when the car almost took off. He is in
:43:20. > :43:26.10th spot, but that was no improvement in lap time. There is Dr
:43:27. > :43:31.Helmut Marko, the man who masterminds the Red Bull driver
:43:32. > :43:35.programme, and who has been so delighted to see that first victory
:43:36. > :43:41.for Daniel Ricciardo. But can he see both cars in the top ten? There is a
:43:42. > :43:48.real danger of losing one or both of the Red Bulls from the top ten,
:43:49. > :43:56.which would be a huge shock. This next lap could be crucial. This is
:43:57. > :44:04.it. Chequered flag will be out at the end of this lap. He has not
:44:05. > :44:10.improved on his own personal best there. Vettel has not, either. This
:44:11. > :44:14.is going to be difficult for him to find something in that middle
:44:15. > :44:20.sector. And of course, if you do put a wheel over that white line, you
:44:21. > :44:26.could lose your lap time. Raikkonen has squeezed in, and Ricciardo has
:44:27. > :44:32.pushed in just ahead of him! But will Vettel be able to squeeze in,
:44:33. > :44:35.ahead of his team-mate? He has been beaten in qualifying five times out
:44:36. > :44:40.of the seven qualifying sessions so far this year. It has been a tough
:44:41. > :44:48.competition with his team-mate. Has he got enough in hand? Well, that is
:44:49. > :44:55.a personal best middle sector. A lot of commitment as he throws it into
:44:56. > :45:00.the last corner... It is not enough! He is outqualify again by his
:45:01. > :45:04.team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo! And Jenson Button has failed as well! He
:45:05. > :45:08.has just pushed Vettel down, but he is not in the top ten, whereas
:45:09. > :45:12.Magnusson is comfortable you there. So, Jenson Button outqualified by
:45:13. > :45:33.Kevin Magnussen, I quite a few places.
:45:34. > :45:39.the Force India, they managed to get the super-soft tyres to work. Kimi
:45:40. > :45:43.Raikkonen has scraped into the top ten. Sebastian Vettel with the Red
:45:44. > :45:48.Bull Racing team has failed to get through into the top ten on this
:45:49. > :45:57.return to the track. A real disappointment. Coming in to Turn 5,
:45:58. > :46:01.Pastor Maldonado comes in with the oversteer and takes a trip to the
:46:02. > :46:11.beach. It is unusual to see graph or on the modern circuits. The penalty
:46:12. > :46:21.you pay, it ups the stakes in the braking zone. Jenson Button is out.
:46:22. > :46:26.Sebastian Vettel has also fallen. And the second Lotus of Romain
:46:27. > :46:32.Grosjean. Sebastian Vettel is out. What is going on with Sebastian
:46:33. > :46:42.Vettel? Yellow macadamia struggling to get the tyres on for one lap in
:46:43. > :46:49.qualifying. -- they were struggling. They are struggling to get the
:46:50. > :46:56.tyres. White Tiger he has been out-qualified by his team-mate six
:46:57. > :47:01.times and he will not be happy. -- he has been out-qualified. You need
:47:02. > :47:07.to be in the window with yourself and start the laps with confidence.
:47:08. > :47:12.It is all measured in fine margins. He will be frustrated but the whole
:47:13. > :47:15.team will be with the performance today. No Jenson Button and no
:47:16. > :47:31.Sebastian Vettel through to Q3. Was there any one particular problem
:47:32. > :47:40.this afternoon? Know, apart from the fact we were not quick enough.
:47:41. > :47:48.Daniel was slightly quicker in Turn 5, quicker in turn to all weekend.
:47:49. > :47:53.At his about it. Jenson Button, how hampered when you by events this
:47:54. > :48:03.morning? You never know. I had to take a shot in the dark for today. I
:48:04. > :48:07.do not know. It was looking OK. I was getting to grips with it
:48:08. > :48:17.reasonably well in Q2. On my last run, I had a Lotus in front and he
:48:18. > :48:20.kept running wide. It hurts a lot. He pulled over in the end and the
:48:21. > :48:27.last sector was green for me. I do not know where we would have ended
:48:28. > :48:32.up. We are now joined by the racing director at McLaren. It has been a
:48:33. > :48:38.mixed session for you. Kevin Magnussen has done a great job
:48:39. > :48:48.getting into the top ten. A bit of mixed feelings. Jenson Button missed
:48:49. > :48:53.out on laps this morning. How crucial has that been this
:48:54. > :49:01.afternoon? It is difficult to say how much. When you see the lap times
:49:02. > :49:07.today, it is three tenths. You may expect the lack of driving may have
:49:08. > :49:13.cost him a few tenths which was enough to break into the top ten.
:49:14. > :49:18.Kevin is in the top ten shoot out. What do you think he is capable of
:49:19. > :49:30.achieving? Where do you see him in the mix at the end of it? I do not
:49:31. > :49:38.want to promise anything. I think we need to be realistic, top eight.
:49:39. > :49:43.Thank you very much for joining us. The final part of qualifying in
:49:44. > :49:49.Austria. Kimi Raikkonen is in the top ten but several drivers have
:49:50. > :49:53.missed out. Sergio Perez does have a five place grid penalty so Jenson
:49:54. > :49:58.Button will move up to 11th place, courtesy of that. It will move
:49:59. > :50:03.Sebastian Vettel up a place as well. The other Force India is in the top
:50:04. > :50:08.ten. We have both the Williams in the top ten and both Mercedes in the
:50:09. > :50:14.top ten. It looks like it will be a jewel for pole position between
:50:15. > :50:19.Lewis Hamilton and Nicola Rosberg. -- Nico Rosberg.
:50:20. > :50:31.The drivers will be helped by the track temperature. A bit of cloud
:50:32. > :50:33.cover. In the pit lane, a bit of shadow. Our slap on the track, it
:50:34. > :50:49.will be sunshine. About three Bottas coming into the
:50:50. > :50:59.last couple of corners. -- Valterri Bottas will stop lets just wait and
:51:00. > :51:06.see. It is 1.8.8. That is a great birth lap by the flying Finn. 1.8.8
:51:07. > :51:08.quicker than anybody we have seen so far. That is macro a great first
:51:09. > :51:21.lap. What about Fernando Alonso? We are
:51:22. > :51:30.not expecting him to be challenging for the first couple of rows. How
:51:31. > :51:37.high can he get the Ferrari? He keeps it together unlike his
:51:38. > :51:39.previous attempt at Q2. They had the last three pole positions. Four
:51:40. > :51:48.tenths of a second of Valterri Bottas. Michael Schumacher had the
:51:49. > :51:54.last pole position here for Ferrari in 2003 but it had been a hat-trick
:51:55. > :52:12.of pole positions for himself and Rubens Borough cello in those years.
:52:13. > :52:18.-- Barichello. A long time since Felipe Massa has had a pole
:52:19. > :52:22.position. His team-mate has the slight edge by some three tenths of
:52:23. > :52:28.a second. Here we go. Lewis Hamilton, we certainly are expecting
:52:29. > :52:33.it to be between Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. I think Hamilton got the
:52:34. > :52:38.choice of who gets which run in the final part of qualifying. They
:52:39. > :52:43.automated as to which driver gets the choice whether to go first or
:52:44. > :52:54.second. It has been Nico Rosberg 's choice this time. Nico Rosberg not
:52:55. > :52:59.quite as quick in the first sector as Hamilton. That is the end of that
:53:00. > :53:04.lap, surely. He will have to give that lap time up. That is the key
:53:05. > :53:08.issue around this track. You have to stay in the margins. He was only
:53:09. > :53:15.forth and that time will be disallowed, I am sure. It is noted
:53:16. > :53:22.he has gone wide already. Nico Rosberg, the same place. That was
:53:23. > :53:28.very close as well. Did he get away with that one? A quick lap. It is
:53:29. > :53:36.not quick enough to be Valterri Bottas. Just outside the lap time
:53:37. > :53:40.set by the Williams driver. No sign coming up yet as to whether... We
:53:41. > :53:53.are looking at the replay of Hamilton. He definitely went wide.
:53:54. > :54:01.You can see a massive kick of oversteer. It was the change of
:54:02. > :54:12.track surface. He has now been pushed down. He has not set a time
:54:13. > :54:17.as yet. Valterri Bottas is on top. We would expect Hamilton to come and
:54:18. > :54:22.rather than going for another lap on those tyres. That means the pressure
:54:23. > :54:27.is on. He only has one run to try and get the pole position. The
:54:28. > :54:36.pressure is slightly off Valterri Bottas and Nico Rosberg. Williams at
:54:37. > :54:39.the moment are beating Mercedes, as we saw in Canada when Felipe Massa
:54:40. > :54:45.became the first non-Mercedes driver to lead a Grand Prix. Now they find
:54:46. > :54:49.themselves under some real pressure from the Williams team. There is
:54:50. > :54:55.Valterri Bottas. Only his 27th Grand Prix. He is showing he has got great
:54:56. > :55:00.form, great ability and trying to deliver on that today. It will come
:55:01. > :55:05.down to the final run in the session. We are watching Kimi
:55:06. > :55:20.Raikkonen. He has not set a lap time as yet. He has the one new set of
:55:21. > :55:29.tyres and we are seeing him out of sequence. He is being chased by
:55:30. > :55:35.Daniel Ricardo. He is on and out laps and he will not necessarily
:55:36. > :55:42.want to be too close to the Ferrari. He is some eight tenths of a second
:55:43. > :55:48.down. The second sector and he is slow there as well. It does not look
:55:49. > :55:55.like this will be a quick lap. He is preparing his tyres or they are not
:55:56. > :56:02.at all happy with the balance. Does he have a bit more to deliver? Can
:56:03. > :56:07.he be the time set by Valterri Bottas? What about Lewis Hamilton?
:56:08. > :56:13.He has to get a lap in. At the moment he is ninth. This is not what
:56:14. > :56:17.Hamilton needs. If anyone can respond to the pressure, it is this
:56:18. > :56:24.man, Lewis Hamilton. He is always one to watch in qualifying. He will
:56:25. > :56:30.have the confidence to deliver. He will be thinking, I need to make
:56:31. > :56:34.enough of a gap to the car in front will stop he knows what the balance
:56:35. > :56:39.was on the previous set of new tyres. There is no such thing as
:56:40. > :56:44.exactly the same when it comes to handmade tyres. There will be
:56:45. > :56:48.something different in the way he prepares the lap or the response. He
:56:49. > :56:53.will get the feedback. He will need to make a mental adjustment to the
:56:54. > :57:00.way he prepares for the braking zone. There is a lot going on in his
:57:01. > :57:05.mind. Can Valterri Bottas improve on what he has done already? He is
:57:06. > :57:13.fastest in their session so far. With 1.5 minutes to go, Kimi
:57:14. > :57:24.Raikkonen is still on his lap, trying to improve on the situation.
:57:25. > :57:33.This is pretty close. He is half a tenth slower than Lewis Hamilton. He
:57:34. > :57:37.gets away with it. He will get a good drive of that term. Kimi
:57:38. > :57:40.Raikkonen set a time good drive of that term. Kimi
:57:41. > :57:47.Raikkonen set a but it is very slow. -- off that turn.
:57:48. > :57:53.Raikkonen set a but it is very slow. He has not improved on his
:57:54. > :58:00.personal best. He just keeps it in line. He is four tenths down on this
:58:01. > :58:09.lap in these tyres so there is no point really finishing the lap. That
:58:10. > :58:18.has not shown the loss of time. He goes to wide. At the end, his lap is
:58:19. > :58:24.lower than the pole position lap. Problems for one of the Mercedes. It
:58:25. > :58:32.is Hamilton, is it? He will run out of time. He is currently going to
:58:33. > :58:39.start this race... Did he have a massive lock-up into turn to? He
:58:40. > :58:45.will be in tenth place. This is crucial for his world champion
:58:46. > :58:52.hopes. Let's keep an eye on Felipe Massa. He is currently third. He has
:58:53. > :58:59.gone fastest. He has dragged the last sector together and he has gone
:59:00. > :59:07.fastest of all. Has he taken pole position? What about Nico Rosberg?
:59:08. > :59:12.He is down to third position. He is off the front row entirely. Daniil
:59:13. > :59:16.Kvyat comes through in seventh. Williams are in pole position but
:59:17. > :59:23.they have the entire front row. This is unbelievable. Nick Rosberg brings
:59:24. > :59:28.it back into the pits. He takes his first pole position since the
:59:29. > :59:34.Spanish Grand Prix where he inherited a pole position after
:59:35. > :59:39.Hamilton got excluded. What a result for Williams! Felipe Massa ahead of
:59:40. > :59:43.Valterri Bottas with their first pole position since 2008 and the
:59:44. > :59:51.first time he has been in pole position since his accident in 2009.
:59:52. > :59:56.What happened to Hamilton? There was an issue with the rear axle locking
:59:57. > :00:01.up. You can see... Smoke is coming out of the rear. It did not look
:00:02. > :00:11.like the left rear had started to under rotate. Was it another issue?
:00:12. > :00:17.Something went wrong, surely, the way the car reacted. You have got to
:00:18. > :00:21.feel for Valtteri Bottas. But what a fantastic performance that was from
:00:22. > :00:28.Felipe Massa. A fantastic overall performance from the Williams team.
:00:29. > :00:33.RADIO: Great lap, great lap! Great job, guys, great job!
:00:34. > :00:39.What is it about this Austrian track?! Fastest in the last race at
:00:40. > :00:43.the strike ring in 1987, Jack Villeneuve took whole position for
:00:44. > :00:48.Williams in 1997, and now Williams have done it again, in its new guise
:00:49. > :00:52.as the Red Bull Ring, there is something about Williams and Austria
:00:53. > :00:54.which just goes together. It is the Brazilian who has taken pole
:00:55. > :01:03.position, and listen to that response. It is Williams that has
:01:04. > :01:08.dominated here at the Red Bull Ring. A real surprise. Massa taking his
:01:09. > :01:09.first pole position in six years. Bottas will line up alongside him,
:01:10. > :01:22.Fon Williams. Seventh for Kvyat, his best ever
:01:23. > :01:23.qualifying performance. And we have got some penalties to be applied.
:01:24. > :01:42.Perez has a five place penalty. Max Chilton also with a penalty.
:01:43. > :01:47.Rosberg just trying to work out what happened, I think. Indeed! I did not
:01:48. > :01:53.think anyone was going to challenge them. Susie Wolfe, she will be in
:01:54. > :01:58.the Williams, in the first practice session at Silverstone, of course.
:01:59. > :02:02.The Williams team really starting to come together, a team which has been
:02:03. > :02:07.through some buried good times. But at that, a fantastic performance
:02:08. > :02:07.from Felipe Massa. He has taken pole position for the Austrian Grand
:02:08. > :02:19.Prix. Felipe, huge congratulations, it has
:02:20. > :02:22.been a long time since your last pole position in 2008 - what were
:02:23. > :02:27.you thinking when you went across the line? Well, I was sure that the
:02:28. > :02:34.lap was good, but I was not sure it was pole position. You always have
:02:35. > :02:37.these Mercedes in our mind, that maybe they will be in front, maybe a
:02:38. > :02:45.lot in front. So when I crossed the line, my engineer was screaming,
:02:46. > :02:52.saying, great lap, great lap! But then I was still waiting. I was
:02:53. > :02:58.asking, where are the Mercedes?! And then there was no Mercedes, so I was
:02:59. > :03:04.first. I was really emotional. I was missing it a lot, this position.
:03:05. > :03:10.Something that I have been many times in my career, even in Formula
:03:11. > :03:16.1 many times, so I was missing it, it was a long time. But it is great,
:03:17. > :03:21.it is fantastic. There were some difficult moments in the lap, but
:03:22. > :03:29.have a look at that, with David. It seems that you had a bit of a
:03:30. > :03:35.lock-up at turn one? It is true, I lost a little bit of time there. I
:03:36. > :03:41.even saw my lap time, I was half a 10th slower than my best. So then I
:03:42. > :03:45.came into turn two, which was a good corner for me, actually. And then
:03:46. > :03:50.from there to the end of the lap, I made just a perfect lap crumbled
:03:51. > :03:53.that is interesting, because there was another lock-up at turn three,
:03:54. > :04:00.but you were able to use that to your advantage. Yes, but I did not
:04:01. > :04:08.lose anything. It looks like I did, but I didn't, because I was able to
:04:09. > :04:13.go earlier on the throttle. This is a key part of the lap, we saw your
:04:14. > :04:16.team-mate going ride here, Kimi Raikkonen. So, at this point you
:04:17. > :04:22.knew you were on for something special? Yes, even at the end of the
:04:23. > :04:27.lap, it was great, I did this corner here, and then, just going into the
:04:28. > :04:32.last corner, I even went a little bit wide, I said, don't touch the
:04:33. > :04:37.outside of the kerb! And then we finished, and it was great. We know
:04:38. > :04:41.that your son gave you a good luck charm to put in your car to date. I
:04:42. > :04:47.think you had better use it tomorrow for the race as well! Yes, it is
:04:48. > :04:51.something that he was playing with in the motorhome beforehand, and he
:04:52. > :05:05.said, take it with you. It is a little name are. It is always as it
:05:06. > :05:10.is to have the family behind you! -- a little Neymar. Let's hear from his
:05:11. > :05:16.team-mates now. Congratulations on that. You had to back out, you made
:05:17. > :05:21.a slight mistake on that last one, how close were you to pole
:05:22. > :05:29.position? Obviously, the first run was much better for me and even
:05:30. > :05:35.before I went wide, I was quite a bit down on the lap time anyway. So,
:05:36. > :05:39.it is a little bit unfortunate. I would have preferred to be P1, but
:05:40. > :05:45.as a team, it is the maximum result we could have got today, so that is
:05:46. > :05:56.very good. Tough day to day, tellers what happened at the end? Just Q3
:05:57. > :06:00.was not a good one, I think I just locked up the rear and it spun me
:06:01. > :06:07.around, those things happen. There was nothing which broke on the car?
:06:08. > :06:10.I have no idea, I drove it back so I assume not. I know you like to
:06:11. > :06:16.overtake, and you will have to do a bit of that tomorrow, but is it
:06:17. > :06:20.possible around here? I think it will be hard around here. The last
:06:21. > :06:25.sector is all downforce, so tomorrow is just down which damage
:06:26. > :06:33.limitation. I have got to try and fix what I did today. Allen, Lewis
:06:34. > :06:38.was talking about that spin and the fact that he did not think there was
:06:39. > :06:42.a problem with the car, do you agree with that? Yes, Niki Lauda conquered
:06:43. > :06:48.that there was no technical problem with the car. Lewis Hamilton is very
:06:49. > :06:51.aggressive, immediately, the rear brakes locked up and immediately, he
:06:52. > :06:57.was going backwards and off the circuit. You can see on this one, as
:06:58. > :07:01.soon as he touches the brakes, he is putting on opposite lock, and from
:07:02. > :07:05.this point, there was nothing he could do about it. But he did drive
:07:06. > :07:10.back to the pits, and I think it was an opportunity missed. He did seem
:07:11. > :07:14.to put himself under an enormous amount of pressure, though, having
:07:15. > :07:19.to do that flying lap? In reality, he lost it on the first run. In the
:07:20. > :07:25.first run, he was in a position, as we can see, against Felipe Massa's
:07:26. > :07:32.pole position on the left-hand side, he is already ahead. He was three
:07:33. > :07:37.tenths up at this point. And as we sit here, if we freeze it now, look
:07:38. > :07:41.how far ahead Lewis Hamilton is, as he throws it into the corner at turn
:07:42. > :07:47.eight, and then runs wide, which penalise is his lap and disallows
:07:48. > :07:52.it. That puts the pressure on him for his next and only run in
:07:53. > :07:57.qualifying. David, what about Nico Rosberg, who starts off the second
:07:58. > :08:02.row, did he ever looked like he could get pole position? I do not
:08:03. > :08:05.think so, he has been on the back foot relative to Lewis Hamilton,
:08:06. > :08:11.which is why it is even more surprising that Lewis felt he had to
:08:12. > :08:13.do so much in that first run. So it seems that it was a big missed
:08:14. > :08:20.opportunity for Lewis Hamilton today. We can hear from Nico Rosberg
:08:21. > :08:24.now. Nico, you had to back out on that
:08:25. > :08:29.last lap, was pole position looking likely, do you think? Definitely,
:08:30. > :08:34.the chance was there, but I had to back out of it, because I have two
:08:35. > :08:38.left at least two tenths, and then to be safe, I need to lose three
:08:39. > :08:42.tenths, and I cannot make up that much, so I backed out of. And the
:08:43. > :08:47.first one that I had was really not good because I messed up my setup,
:08:48. > :08:50.because I had too much understeer, so I tried something with the
:08:51. > :08:54.switch, and these switches we have on the steering wheel, they can
:08:55. > :08:59.really transform the car, and I put too much and break into the car, so
:09:00. > :09:04.I was going into much sideways into the corners, and it did not work out
:09:05. > :09:09.at all. But there we are, I have a good setup for the race, so the pace
:09:10. > :09:16.should be good tomorrow. Not going to be easy to get by them, but I
:09:17. > :09:25.going to try. Fernando, you must be pleased with fourth string is yes,
:09:26. > :09:35.it was a nice surprise. Qualifying was not as clean as other times. In
:09:36. > :09:41.my last lap in Q3 I was improving, and then I went long in corner five,
:09:42. > :09:47.semi-feelings. But to get fourth, the best result of the year, that
:09:48. > :09:50.compensates for everything. Yes, it is not typical qualifying, with
:09:51. > :09:58.Williams in front, and we have Hamilton behind us, so I guess for
:09:59. > :10:03.the race it is going to be tough. Forth today, David, best qualifying
:10:04. > :10:06.for Ferrari this year, and it is a bit sad to hear Fernando Alonso
:10:07. > :10:10.saying he is fighting for fourth place tomorrow? I think it is
:10:11. > :10:11.realistic. saying he is fighting for fourth
:10:12. > :10:14.place tomorrow? I think Williams have taken some time to develop
:10:15. > :10:19.their package. What is disappointing is that Ferrari, with all of their
:10:20. > :10:22.resources, they find themselves in a rebuilding phase of this year, not
:10:23. > :10:28.looking like they will be challenging for a podium, unless
:10:29. > :10:33.there is an accident ahead. But they are still continuing to restructure,
:10:34. > :10:37.which takes time, so do you think they are heading in the right
:10:38. > :10:40.direction? They have been stored in that position for some time now.
:10:41. > :10:43.They had a couple of years where they were quite competitive, but at
:10:44. > :10:51.the moment, it looks like they are going around in circles. Let's check
:10:52. > :11:07.out the great, with Ben Edwards. -- the green.
:11:08. > :11:17.Neither Hamilton nor Hulkenberg set a time, so they will start ninth and
:11:18. > :11:23.10th. Maldonado drove a good lap to outqualify his team-mate, Grosjean,
:11:24. > :11:38.for the first time. The five place penalty puts Perez in 16th.
:11:39. > :11:48.So, that is how your grid lines up for tomorrow. We are joined now by
:11:49. > :11:51.the deputy team principal at Williams, Claire Williams. What do
:11:52. > :11:55.you think about tomorrow? That it is what it is all about, and Franck has
:11:56. > :11:58.been saying, why are you celebrating, we have not won
:11:59. > :12:02.anything?! And it is about tomorrow. We have got to get some big points
:12:03. > :12:06.to put on the table tomorrow. We have not done as well as we could
:12:07. > :12:10.have done in the past few races, to capitalise on the car that we have,
:12:11. > :12:16.so I hope tomorrow that the guys can keep it on the black stuff and get
:12:17. > :12:19.some good points for us. What do you think has turned the car around in
:12:20. > :12:24.pace on this circuit and why would it not translate into race pace for
:12:25. > :12:28.tomorrow? I hope it does translate into race pace. The guys back at
:12:29. > :12:32.home have done a great job to deliver long run pace, so I hope we
:12:33. > :12:36.can capitalise on that tomorrow. It is all about the race. I just hope
:12:37. > :12:41.that into the first corner, we have a clean exits, and the guys can just
:12:42. > :12:46.go away. But it is a long race, the Mercedes are so competitive, and the
:12:47. > :12:53.Red Bulls are going to want to prove something at their home Grand Prix.
:12:54. > :13:00.Very quickly, if Valtteri Bottas gets on the podium, I think there is
:13:01. > :13:08.a bet? I had a bet with him that if he gets onto the podium, he has to
:13:09. > :13:13.wear his lederhosen! We will have all the highlights for you tomorrow
:13:14. > :13:18.evening, and it is all live on Radio 5 Live. So, it is all Williams on
:13:19. > :13:23.the front row, with Felipe Massa in pole position. Do you want me to say
:13:24. > :13:27.that again?! Thank you very much for watching. It is going to be a
:13:28. > :14:14.terrific race tomorrow. Join us for the highlights - see you then.
:14:15. > :14:17.So much pressure, so much expectation.
:14:18. > :14:21.It's the title that all the players want to win.
