:01:10. > :01:13.Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal. The drivers are in the garages, the cars
:01:14. > :01:17.are about to go out on circuit. This morning Fernando Alonso was fastest,
:01:18. > :01:25.followed by Lewis Hamilton, the three times winner round this track.
:01:26. > :01:26.You can get involved using Twitter, and James Allen or Allan McNish
:01:27. > :01:38.might read your messages. Hello, everybody, a beautiful, sunny
:01:39. > :01:45.afternoon waiting for us here in Montreal. Lewis Hamilton, who lost
:01:46. > :01:50.the championship lead to his team-mate and archrival Nico Rosberg
:01:51. > :01:54.and just being strapped into a silver Mercedes in the pit lane. The
:01:55. > :02:01.pit lane is open, the green light is on, and Kevin Magnussen is shaping
:02:02. > :02:06.up to come out on circuit. Bring it up to speed with the events so far a
:02:07. > :02:10.few words with us this morning. Fernando Alonso setting the fastest
:02:11. > :02:13.time in the Ferrari ahead of the two Mercedes cars of Hamilton and Ross
:02:14. > :02:18.Burke. A few problems for Felipe Massa with his energy recovery
:02:19. > :02:22.system. Magnussen drives onto the circuit. The fans get to
:02:23. > :02:27.system. Magnussen drives onto the new quiet sound of the turbo engines
:02:28. > :02:34.for this season. Bianchi had an accident, plotting his copybook
:02:35. > :02:39.after that finish last time in Monaco. A real breakthrough result
:02:40. > :02:43.for the Marussia team and Allan McNish, the reprimand for Daniel
:02:44. > :02:47.Riccardo, that was reported after the session, what you know about
:02:48. > :02:54.that? It was just as Pastor Maldonado was
:02:55. > :02:58.coming in to the pit stop but wanted to slow down so he could similar to
:02:59. > :03:03.the quick entry into it. At the same point Daniel Riccardo wanted to do
:03:04. > :03:08.the same. Maldonado was in the fast lane which probably shouldn't have
:03:09. > :03:14.been in. He was in the slowly. He was undercut by Ricciardo, he went
:03:15. > :03:20.to the left-hand side. And then accelerated Pastor Maldonado.
:03:21. > :03:26.Circumstances were a little bit strange and he only received a
:03:27. > :03:33.reprimand. Once you get into the pit area you go into the speed state
:03:34. > :03:42.limit. Is under quite a dangerous into the
:03:43. > :03:44.don't. What a lucky to get away with the reprimand?
:03:45. > :03:46.Maldonado should maybe have moved across a little bit earlier because
:03:47. > :03:52.he wasn't up to full speed. The thing that probably brought it down
:03:53. > :03:56.was Riccardo did give it a bit of worry and got wheel spin and that is
:03:57. > :03:59.not what you need in a crowded pit lane.
:04:00. > :04:06.Quite a few cars on circuit, Magnussen in the McLaren, Chilton,
:04:07. > :04:10.Hulkenberg. Watch out for Force India this weekend. Already one
:04:11. > :04:19.podium finish for Sergio Perez in Bahrain. They have been tipped for a
:04:20. > :04:26.possible podium contender this weekend. A slippery car in the
:04:27. > :04:30.streets. -- straights. Slow corners followed by long
:04:31. > :04:36.straights, needing to be to break well and exonerate well. If you
:04:37. > :04:41.think back to Bahrain, the last time forced India was extremely strong,
:04:42. > :04:46.Perez was on the podium. It is not out of the question. Since Bahrain
:04:47. > :04:52.other teams have moved forward. Ferrari has got a little bit, Red
:04:53. > :04:58.Bull. I don't think it is as clear cut but that battle for behind the
:04:59. > :05:02.Mercedes. As always, conditions are critical,
:05:03. > :05:09.will be cold, hot, the variation between temperatures here can be
:05:10. > :05:14.enormous. A bit of a tailwind at the pit
:05:15. > :05:19.straight. The conditions feel a bit better than in the first practice
:05:20. > :05:24.session. The track temperature has gone up a few degrees. The ambient
:05:25. > :05:29.has done the same, about 19. Nothing like as warm as it is back home at
:05:30. > :05:33.the moment. It is a good temperature. We had a sprinkling of
:05:34. > :05:37.rain just prior to the start of the session but nothing that will affect
:05:38. > :05:45.the grip on the circuit. Thank you, Tom. Difficult for the
:05:46. > :05:49.engineers. The variation between the lowest temperature on any given day
:05:50. > :05:59.here, and the highest can be enormous. It can bes art.
:06:00. > :06:06.It affects the tyre performance, as we see Kobayashi looking round for
:06:07. > :06:12.stop --. Locked up going into that hairpin. That is a big factor, there
:06:13. > :06:18.has been a big change in Tim Butcher from what was expected. The tyres
:06:19. > :06:25.are a bit harder than last year -- a big change in temperature.
:06:26. > :06:32.It is a dusty, dirty circuit. It is not used all of the time. Only used
:06:33. > :06:41.a very sporadically. RADIO: booster fund if you can. -- boost the front.
:06:42. > :06:49.The critical point is that attack on to the brake pedal. The tyre isn't
:06:50. > :06:54.gripping with the road. When you hit the brake pedal the pad to the disk
:06:55. > :06:59.performance is much greater than the tyre to the ground. A lot of people
:07:00. > :07:07.looking up. Max Chilton getting it a little bit
:07:08. > :07:17.wrong. Really only the top surface of the tyre had been cut. Warming
:07:18. > :07:22.these tyres once again as they were in Monaco. We saw the soft I could
:07:23. > :07:27.take as much as six or seven laps on some cars to come in to the
:07:28. > :07:31.operating window. Mercedes, another of their advantages, they are able
:07:32. > :07:38.to bring those tyres in a little bit more quickly. Let's bring in journey
:07:39. > :07:44.down at the Ferrari garage. There is a bit of work going on to
:07:45. > :07:50.Kimi Raikonnen's car. They have changed the setup of the car, they
:07:51. > :07:53.have switched floors. They have got a new floor, they let Fernando
:07:54. > :07:55.Alonso try it out this morning for stop Kimi Raikonnen trying it out
:07:56. > :07:59.this afternoon to see what he thinks. I was speaking is a MIDI in
:08:00. > :08:05.the lunch break and he thinks they have done something clever to
:08:06. > :08:10.Raikonnen's car. At the moment he is in the car meanwhile on the other
:08:11. > :08:16.side of the garage Fernando Alonso is looking very relaxed at the back
:08:17. > :08:19.of the garage. It is interesting they did that this
:08:20. > :08:25.morning, where they will switch the floors between two cars, but they
:08:26. > :08:28.also did that in Barcelona. They tried it driver in the morning, and
:08:29. > :08:33.then in the afternoon session. As if they weren't 100% sure, 100%
:08:34. > :08:37.committed the results they have got with their test items from the
:08:38. > :08:40.factory is actually going to give a performance on the track. If you
:08:41. > :08:44.look a bit further down the pit lane, anything Red Bull seem to
:08:45. > :08:48.bring to the car for each race seems to stay on the car, right from the
:08:49. > :08:51.first session. They have got a commitment towards it. It isn't the
:08:52. > :08:55.case with Ferrari. There is a nervousness, that has
:08:56. > :08:57.been the case for a few years. Very frustrating for them last season,
:08:58. > :09:04.things not coming through from the wind tunnel in terms of the
:09:05. > :09:07.performance, just wasn't happening on the racetrack. It is an area they
:09:08. > :09:11.had to raise their game. Williams is another team which seems to be able
:09:12. > :09:16.to bring PCs to the car and it automatically makes a difference. --
:09:17. > :09:30.bring bits. Bottas is the fastest man. Magnussen second quickest, then
:09:31. > :09:36.Felipe Massa. Gutierrez is out there, and so is Ericsson and
:09:37. > :09:44.Kobayashi for stop 16 cars out on circuit at the moment. This morning
:09:45. > :09:47.Lewis Hamilton made a small mistake towards the end of the session when
:09:48. > :09:51.he was possibly on a lap that would have given him a time quick enough
:09:52. > :09:56.to top the time sheet. I didn't see it, I was on the
:09:57. > :10:00.circuit, but he has got a car underneath him that will produce a
:10:01. > :10:03.performance. He looked very good, the car looked extremely good as we
:10:04. > :10:07.come out of the hairpin down towards the final chicane. I was watching
:10:08. > :10:11.through there, he flicked left and right, absorbed the kerbs. This is
:10:12. > :10:17.the perfect circuit for the Mercedes, good grip, acceleration,
:10:18. > :10:22.and fantastic top speed. Being quick around here, you need
:10:23. > :10:26.good mechanical grip with his very low grip surface. It is only used
:10:27. > :10:30.for racing once a year. The surface is very smooth. If you run your hand
:10:31. > :10:35.across the top surface of the asphalt it feels smooth to the
:10:36. > :10:38.touch, unlike a lot of places. Pastor Maldonado is being pushed
:10:39. > :10:43.backwards down the pit lane. He was set up to do a practice start
:10:44. > :10:46.but there has been a problem so the whole team have rushed up, they are
:10:47. > :10:51.pushing the car passed me now. No sound from it at all. One of the
:10:52. > :10:55.stewards was making as I like the engine had cut out. They are trying
:10:56. > :10:59.to not get in the way of any the cars that are due to leave.
:11:00. > :11:04.Being pushed backwards down the pit lane for stop the mechanics will try
:11:05. > :11:09.and figure out what happened there. Renault, this weekend, as his
:11:10. > :11:15.team-mate Sebastian Gresham heads out, Lotus had some fuel problems
:11:16. > :11:23.last time. Sebastian Vettel suffering issues. Reliability? For
:11:24. > :11:29.the team which leaves Sebastian Vettel in a difficult position. He
:11:30. > :11:33.has only got 45 points on the board, 77 points behind Nico Rosberg
:11:34. > :11:37.after just six rounds. With the kind of advantage Mercedes have at the
:11:38. > :11:40.moment it will not be too long before mathematically it might be
:11:41. > :11:45.still possible but realistically it is looking like a long shot. Let's
:11:46. > :11:47.get another update from the pit lane and Tom.
:11:48. > :11:52.Seeing Maldonado being pushed back to his pit immediately made me think
:11:53. > :12:00.of Bianchi so I made my way up to Marussia. If you cast your mind back
:12:01. > :12:03.couple of weeks to Monaco, it was because Maldonado wasn't able to
:12:04. > :12:06.take the start because of a fuel pump problem, that Bianchi ended up
:12:07. > :12:10.in the wrong grid position which led to a five second penalty which he
:12:11. > :12:16.then took at the wrong time in the race and was added to his Raith
:12:17. > :12:20.Stanciu eighth place finish turned into ninth. Still a fantastic
:12:21. > :12:25.result, the first points for Marussia in five years since that
:12:26. > :12:28.team was first born. Bianchi hasn't had a smooth day so far. He is
:12:29. > :12:33.heading out into the pit lane now. This morning he hit the wall, he
:12:34. > :12:38.kissed the wall, enough to break the right rear suspension on his car,
:12:39. > :12:46.and that damaged the gay box. He has had a new gearbox between practice
:12:47. > :12:56.sessions -- damaged big year box. He is the hero of the moment. His team
:12:57. > :13:00.couldn't speak highly enough of him. That would've been a cold shower and
:13:01. > :13:03.a reality check. The other link between him and Pastor Maldonado is
:13:04. > :13:12.they have the same manager in Nicholas Todd, son of Jean Todt.
:13:13. > :13:16.This is one of his trademarks around here, Hamilton, to be so close to
:13:17. > :13:20.the walls. We were talking about what makes an quick in Montreal, it
:13:21. > :13:30.is his ability over the kerb, Ricky has been a huge part of Hamilton's
:13:31. > :13:35.game. We look at Gutierrez doing a little gardening going across the
:13:36. > :13:40.grass at the apex of turn four. The first chicane. He has missed the
:13:41. > :13:50.apex of turn 14 on the same lap. Obviously had a very scruffy lap.
:13:51. > :13:55.Any other areas that making quicker?
:13:56. > :13:58.This is the term for incident for interiors where he has commented
:13:59. > :14:09.quickly and aborted and gone across the grass under was a bumper. You
:14:10. > :14:13.need to carry speed into the apex, you need to be able to get the car
:14:14. > :14:17.pivoted, rotated and out of the corner. And that is a style that is
:14:18. > :14:21.in the DNA of Lewis Hamilton. It is the way he likes to drive. It is
:14:22. > :14:28.like a little kart circuit and he throws the car around. Nico Rosberg
:14:29. > :14:33.is very precise and nice and gentle. With the time difference between the
:14:34. > :14:50.two being less than a tenth of a second, there is nothing to it in
:14:51. > :14:54.the whole scheme of things. Just a 10th of a second between them. Rose
:14:55. > :14:58.hasn't got the track record Hamilton has got. Hamilton three times a
:14:59. > :15:05.winner and three times on pole position. Only two wins from pole
:15:06. > :15:11.position. There was the famous race he crashed into Kimi Raikkonen in
:15:12. > :15:20.the pit lane. Hamilton needs to do it. Both of them needs to do it. You
:15:21. > :15:23.sort per is going slowly down the back straight. He is recharging his
:15:24. > :15:29.hybrid system to make sure he has the maximum energy before he hit the
:15:30. > :15:34.throttle to be able to use it on this lap. We have seen it a lot this
:15:35. > :15:36.morning, where they are this lap. We have seen it a lot this
:15:37. > :15:41.long, slow, lifting off and letting this lap. We have seen it a lot this
:15:42. > :15:51.it to recuperate the energy. No sign of any of the Red Bull drivers, they
:15:52. > :15:55.are in the pit lane. Jenny is there. If you look at Sebastian Vettel's
:15:56. > :16:03.car, they have done a few tweaks to the rear. It is a skinny rear wing
:16:04. > :16:09.and there are two slots which make it a low downforce setting. Where
:16:10. > :16:14.you can see the yellow on the nose, they have changed it this weekend.
:16:15. > :16:21.There is no old chap. There was a bulge underneath where they yellow
:16:22. > :16:35.section of the car is. They may have moved the positioning of the front,
:16:36. > :16:48.a bit like the Mercedes. To help out this Red Bull car. The front wing is
:16:49. > :16:52.the first thing of a Formula One car that hit the air and the way it
:16:53. > :16:55.shapes it, particularly down to the floor which is where most of the
:16:56. > :16:57.downforce comes from, that is the key thing. They always fiddling
:16:58. > :16:58.round and changing to get the optimum shaping. So out onto the
:16:59. > :17:04.racetrack goes the reigning world champion, Sebastian Vettel. You can
:17:05. > :17:09.get in touch with us. Nico Rosberg coming through to complete a lap
:17:10. > :17:19.now. It is the fastest lap we have had so far this weekend in Montreal
:17:20. > :17:23.for Nico Rosberg. You can get in touch with us. We have some
:17:24. > :17:30.questions already. This is one for you, Alan. This is from Tom, are
:17:31. > :17:37.Ferrari expected to compete with Mercedes this weekend? You have just
:17:38. > :17:43.pulled a face like you are sucking a lemon? It is unlikely Ferrari will
:17:44. > :17:47.be competing with Ferrari. They are definitely moving forward. But their
:17:48. > :17:54.performance where Alonso was quickest is a bit premature. When
:17:55. > :18:01.you look back, it has been the first practice where Alonso has been able
:18:02. > :18:06.to get straight up to speed. But then the others have a higher limit
:18:07. > :18:12.where they can continue to perform and develop. Their thing is to be
:18:13. > :18:20.the best of the rest, not necessarily to be ahead of Mercedes.
:18:21. > :18:26.Fernando Alonso exits the final corner. He was weaving vigorously to
:18:27. > :18:32.get some heat into his soft compound per early tyres. With this move
:18:33. > :18:38.service, although temperatures are coming up, 21 degrees, the air
:18:39. > :18:49.temperature. The forecast for the rest of the weekend is in the high
:18:50. > :18:57.20s. So the conditions now are very different from what is expected for
:18:58. > :19:02.the rest of the weekend. It adds another level of challenge for the
:19:03. > :19:11.drivers and the engineers. TEAM RADIO: he was 1.5 tenths slower. My
:19:12. > :19:20.team-mate, that is an interesting little thing. He did the same thing
:19:21. > :19:25.in Monaco, it is not the first time Nico Rosberg has called him my
:19:26. > :19:34.colleague. He who cannot be named. Nico Rosberg is going fastest will
:19:35. > :19:48.stop that is the take for Alonso's first flying lap. Nico Rosberg comes
:19:49. > :19:52.across the line. That quiet Mercedes engine whispering past us. We are
:19:53. > :19:58.looking into the cup pits of the car will stop our commentary position on
:19:59. > :20:11.the outside, wonderful vantage point. Hamilton is three tenths of a
:20:12. > :20:17.second slower than his team-mate. Any signs or any indicators from way
:20:18. > :20:22.the cars are handling, plenty of work on the steering wheel? This is
:20:23. > :20:30.a team that are struggling. Low speed grip and mechanical grip is
:20:31. > :20:36.not their best at the moment. It is a circuit where you do need that.
:20:37. > :20:43.They are not making the tyre generate the temperature so you get
:20:44. > :20:46.a lot of incidents like this. You have do abort the corner very early
:20:47. > :20:50.if it goes wrong or you will have trips across the grass. If you
:20:51. > :20:57.realised early enough, you can get away with it. If not, it can create
:20:58. > :21:01.some drama. Sebastian Vettel comes out of the final corner.
:21:02. > :21:01.some drama. Sebastian Vettel comes across the line and he goes into
:21:02. > :21:08.15th place. No improvement. across the line and he goes into
:21:09. > :21:17.Ricciardo is out on circuits and has just done the 13th fastest time. He
:21:18. > :21:20.is on a better lap now. Let's talk to Jenny in the pit lane. Picked
:21:21. > :21:29.this up Pastor Maldonado in his Lotus. He was being pushed back into
:21:30. > :21:37.his garage, so it was the wrong map set on his engine. He is taking it
:21:38. > :21:43.easy at the moment. You can see how in the corner it goes more orange
:21:44. > :21:49.and red, that is when the temperature gets into the tyre. Has
:21:50. > :21:57.already cool down significantly and Don Black on the outside. You feel a
:21:58. > :22:08.change in front grip. What you need is a constant drip. As soon as you
:22:09. > :22:11.break and turn in you want a situation where you have more grip
:22:12. > :22:18.from the first moment you hit the brakes. Right now with these harder
:22:19. > :22:20.Pirelli tyres, that is what the teams were struggling with in Monte
:22:21. > :22:29.Carlo and they will be struggling here. Watch the towered -- tyres
:22:30. > :22:33.when he brakes. You can see what we're talking about, the stability
:22:34. > :22:37.of the tyre and the braking is critical around here. These new
:22:38. > :22:54.hybrid turbo cars have break by wire system. 5.4 grams, going into that
:22:55. > :22:58.final corner. The driver's head weighing five times its normal
:22:59. > :23:06.weight for almost two seconds and pulling on his neck as he brakes for
:23:07. > :23:11.the final chicane. In a road car, if it is a supercar, you would be under
:23:12. > :23:18.one. 5.4 is like hitting an emergency stop multiplied by ten. It
:23:19. > :23:24.is a huge deceleration. When you lock a break you lose 25% of your
:23:25. > :23:31.braking capacity. It needs to keep rotating to slow the car down and
:23:32. > :23:40.that is why you missed the apex so quickly on this track. Hamilton has
:23:41. > :23:48.just set the fastest time. TEAM RADIO: we are looking into it.
:23:49. > :23:54.Daniel Ricciardo said, can we do anything for the shift? The engineer
:23:55. > :24:02.saying we will have to look at it. It is a job to be done in the garage
:24:03. > :24:06.rather than something they can work on remotely. It is almost 2:25pm
:24:07. > :24:11.local time in Montreal. A few hundred miles north from New York
:24:12. > :24:19.City over the border into Canada. It is a cloudy day. The Australian is
:24:20. > :24:24.making his mark on Formula One this season. Daniel Ricciardo at the
:24:25. > :24:41.wheel of the Red Bull. Hamilton, Ross Barbour, Raikkonen. From one to
:24:42. > :24:46.ten are in team order. Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams, McLaren and Force
:24:47. > :24:50.India. Williams is a team that should go pretty well round here.
:24:51. > :24:56.They have gone well in the other circuits where you have had some
:24:57. > :25:02.quick accelerations. They feel confident. They need to be able to
:25:03. > :25:11.do it in qualifying and the race. Where they have struggled is they
:25:12. > :25:16.have failed to do it in both. Round about half an hour into the session
:25:17. > :25:22.we tend to see the first drivers putting on the option tyres. It is
:25:23. > :25:28.Adrian Sutil who has gone out on those super-soft tyres, according to
:25:29. > :25:35.the data we have. Romain Grosjean who is in the pits in the Lotus,
:25:36. > :25:41.also has a set of super-soft 's, but he is not out yet. Hamilton leads
:25:42. > :25:54.the way I almost a 10th from Ross Berk. -- Nico Rosberg. Quite a big
:25:55. > :25:58.gap. Alonso on his own. Clear of his own team-mate and then it is not us
:25:59. > :26:04.in fifth. Jean-Eric Vergne, so unlucky in Monaco. If this guy did
:26:05. > :26:11.not have bad luck, he would have no look at all. Got himself in the top
:26:12. > :26:15.four row grid slot, looking set for sixth place, then was unsafely
:26:16. > :26:22.released from his one and only pit stop and was given a penalty. It was
:26:23. > :26:25.a result he needed because he is under pressure. When you are driving
:26:26. > :26:32.that Toro Rosso there is always a trapdoor you are standing on. He
:26:33. > :26:34.really needed that results? But he produced the sort of performance,
:26:35. > :26:39.even though he did not get the chequered flag at the right point
:26:40. > :26:44.for him, he produced the sort of performance that says yes, he has
:26:45. > :26:51.done a good job. I have been impressed with his team-mate. As
:26:52. > :27:02.Sutil dumbs down this site, you can see the red of the super-soft. That
:27:03. > :27:07.was unbelievable. I think it was Ericsson in the Caterham who was
:27:08. > :27:20.cruising round. TEAM RADIO: what has happened now? It wasn't closing to
:27:21. > :27:29.the correct closed position. We saw it in the data and it wasn't worth
:27:30. > :27:31.carrying on. That is what the driver likes to hear, if there is a rear
:27:32. > :27:41.wing problem, the team have noticed it first. That is the DRS. Sutil had
:27:42. > :27:46.another close moments. One of the cars was starting his lap and was
:27:47. > :27:52.going very slowly into the next chicane. Sutil recognised it very
:27:53. > :28:00.late. I think it was Magnusson in the McLaren. The DRS isn't closing
:28:01. > :28:07.completely on Pastor Maldonado's Lotus and therefore it was jammed on
:28:08. > :28:13.one side creating an inconsistent rear downforce. That does need to be
:28:14. > :28:21.fixed. It was a ragged lap from Sutil. Clearly not aware Sutil was
:28:22. > :28:30.coming. Sutil was aware he was there and he was in the braking zone. What
:28:31. > :28:37.was Magnusson supposed to do? TEAM RADIO: I don't know what happened
:28:38. > :28:41.there. Magnusson was hanging back waiting to begin a lap. Sutil had
:28:42. > :28:50.nowhere to go. Closing speed was enormous. Sutil doing 200 miles an
:28:51. > :28:55.hour as he hit the brakes. He jumped over the yellow curbing. The team
:28:56. > :29:00.should tell the driver that is going slow and building his lap where the
:29:01. > :29:08.approaching car is. It is difficult to see out of these mirrors. You are
:29:09. > :29:11.meant to know what is around you and you focus on your main sponsor which
:29:12. > :29:17.is on the rear wing. The team should have been giving him the
:29:18. > :29:23.information. A couple of hairy moments in that lap the Sutil. He
:29:24. > :29:28.passed the Caterham with about a foot to spare and almost running
:29:29. > :29:34.into the back of Magnusson. Ron Dennis, the boss of McLaren is here
:29:35. > :29:38.and is looking on at his rookie driver. Many great results here for
:29:39. > :29:44.McLaren down the years. Some awkward ones, I remember being here with
:29:45. > :29:56.Pablo Montoya who was going to win the race and McLaren made a bad
:29:57. > :30:00.call. He was absolutely livid. Ron Dennis had to find him in his hotel
:30:01. > :30:12.room and apologise for costing him the race. 3:30pm almost local time.
:30:13. > :30:19.Tom is in the pit with some news. I don't think we can draw too many
:30:20. > :30:24.conclusions on the super-soft tyres, but Max Chilton has just gone past
:30:25. > :30:29.me on them. As the front runners start going out, I think we will get
:30:30. > :30:36.lots of positive radio messages. This super-soft tyres is obviously
:30:37. > :30:43.softer than the soft tyre they have used, but it is designed to perform
:30:44. > :30:46.at lower temperatures. The soft tyre is designed to perform at higher
:30:47. > :30:51.temperatures. The track temperature is in the early 30s, it is still
:30:52. > :30:55.cool in Formula One. In Bahrain it is mid-40s. The super-soft is going
:30:56. > :31:02.to perform much better for the drivers. Pirelli said their
:31:03. > :31:15.simulations reckon there will be a lap time difference of about .7
:31:16. > :31:24.between the two tyres. That is what they aim for. The super-soft will be
:31:25. > :31:28.the qualifying tyre. Depending on how it lasts, maybe it will be the
:31:29. > :31:54.favoured tyre for the two stints in the race. Jon In Monaco it did over
:31:55. > :31:57.40 laps, half the race with Hulkenberg and OK, he was hanging on
:31:58. > :32:01.at the end of it, but around here you couldn't quite do that.
:32:02. > :32:10.It suggests that has got a durability. No doubt about it. He
:32:11. > :32:15.was hanging on a little bit. A gigantic boost to the mercy team.
:32:16. > :32:19.Here comes the young fellow from Surrey for stop that incident
:32:20. > :32:33.involving Magnussen and Sutil is being investigated by the stewards.
:32:34. > :32:44.Chilton goes 14. Hamilton, Rosberg, Alonso, Raikkonen. You can get in
:32:45. > :32:53.touch with us. A question here, Dan says can Marussia school again or
:32:54. > :32:59.was that Monaco? Lewis for the win, he says. But in podium with
:33:00. > :33:06.Hulkenberg. Probably a good chance of some of that, not all of it. It
:33:07. > :33:10.would be unrealistic to think that unless there is a lot of carnage
:33:11. > :33:13.going on for them to be able to repeat what was a fantastic result
:33:14. > :33:17.for them, this is a team that hopes that does not happen, catering,
:33:18. > :33:22.because that is who they are fighting with, but right now in its
:33:23. > :33:37.like Marussia have got the upper hand on K2 run in every area. RADIO:
:33:38. > :33:46.there is something in the system. Engine cut out?
:33:47. > :33:51.Some problem for Max Chilton. Tom Clancy says what do you make of the
:33:52. > :33:55.cost cuts by dropping FP one on Friday mornings, an option that
:33:56. > :33:58.affects fans seems wrong and circuit will lose money on Friday
:33:59. > :34:05.attendance. That is a story on the BBC Sport website about changes
:34:06. > :34:10.potentially for next season which might see Thursdays being dropped
:34:11. > :34:16.and the first practice session on Friday morning being dropped, and
:34:17. > :34:25.cars running on Friday afternoon, later in the evening to encourage
:34:26. > :34:31.people to come after work. Marshal is coming across to talk to him,
:34:32. > :34:36.quite a difficult place to get back on, that area.
:34:37. > :34:40.You would be reversing back onto the sort of racing line to be able to do
:34:41. > :34:44.it. It is too narrow to loop around safely, a decent chance that if you
:34:45. > :34:49.tried to do a quick spin round you could catch the front or the rear of
:34:50. > :34:53.the car. Especially on the tyres to the right. With the car sitting idly
:34:54. > :34:57.it is not good because there is no airflow going through the radiator
:34:58. > :35:05.so the temperature will build. It looks like, the marshals are
:35:06. > :35:10.talking to him. Not wide enough to do a doughnut spin turns they like
:35:11. > :35:15.to be. It is a risk. They are pushing him behind the barrier.
:35:16. > :35:18.It suggests his session is over. The team has offices there is not
:35:19. > :35:22.much we can do for you there and he has lost an hour of running, viable
:35:23. > :35:27.running for the rookie driver on his first Formula One experience here in
:35:28. > :35:30.Montreal for the this is a confident circuit, not necessarily to the same
:35:31. > :35:36.extent as Monaco, where rookies need to build up their confidence, but it
:35:37. > :35:39.is still a place with the walls lining most of the corners where you
:35:40. > :35:44.need to build yourself up. You have got low downforce. Monaco
:35:45. > :35:47.you have a very high downforce so security in the aerodynamic grip,
:35:48. > :35:50.hey you do not have that because of the length of the straights. You
:35:51. > :35:55.have got to build up your confidence with the car. Coming in very light,
:35:56. > :35:59.the rear, just always a little bit on the edge. You have got these
:36:00. > :36:07.walls to the left and right. It is as much of a confident circuit as
:36:08. > :36:10.Monaco but in a different way. He has just lost an hour of the
:36:11. > :36:17.session, climbing out of the car now. That is it for Marcus Ericsson
:36:18. > :36:24.for practice too. Hamilton, Rosberg, Alonso. The top six hasn't changed
:36:25. > :36:29.for about 20 minutes. None of them have put the super soft tyre on.
:36:30. > :36:34.Adrian Sutil has done a run on them, so has Max Chilton and we have 53
:36:35. > :36:38.minutes remaining. The incident involving Magnussen and
:36:39. > :36:42.Adrian Sutil work Magnussen will score quickly in the last chicane,
:36:43. > :36:44.then had to take avoiding action, there is no further action. The
:36:45. > :36:51.stewards have looked at it, deemed it wasn't any problem. Then released
:36:52. > :36:58.it. The question from a regular
:36:59. > :37:02.correspondent, how does a track layout like this one in Montreal
:37:03. > :37:08.affect energy recovery, heavy braking zones, there are seven of
:37:09. > :37:12.them here, should make it easier to store kinetic energy or harvest
:37:13. > :37:16.kinetic energy? Yes, it does but you do have a limit. There is a maximum
:37:17. > :37:22.you are allowed to stall. From that point of view if you go over that it
:37:23. > :37:28.doesn't store any more. You have got that situation where it is easier,
:37:29. > :37:32.it is easy because you can also do big liftoff is on the straights
:37:33. > :37:37.which is the most efficient ways to save fuel but instead of the actual
:37:38. > :37:41.energy recovery being the critical point around here, it is the fuel.
:37:42. > :37:44.That is going to be a factor on Sunday in terms of being able to do
:37:45. > :37:50.this race with 100 kilograms of fuel.
:37:51. > :37:56.OK, so Nico Rosberg is on a lap now, just beginning at, on the super soft
:37:57. > :38:00.tyre. He comes round 31, you let the car
:38:01. > :38:06.floating, the important thing is to get a clean exit, now into ten
:38:07. > :38:13.three. You let it float out to the wall. This is just holding on,
:38:14. > :38:18.breaking in a straight line. Just kicking a little bit. Using the
:38:19. > :38:23.kerbs as much as you can. A clean exit. Now you are onto one of those
:38:24. > :38:27.bigger and longer straights, break just about that bridge, down the
:38:28. > :38:31.gears, hit the kerb if you can coming through here. Be careful,
:38:32. > :38:39.another wall in the exit. You can see the fans shaking. -- fence. This
:38:40. > :38:42.is an important braking area, you have got to do it when the car is
:38:43. > :38:47.straight, the load on both the wheels balanced so you can run a
:38:48. > :38:56.little white but the key thing is getting that exhilarating. This is a
:38:57. > :39:02.deal RSN. You have got the last corner, stealing yourself for it. 30
:39:03. > :39:05.seconds, a bit of debris, crosses the line.
:39:06. > :39:12.The middle sector was great, because of that overshoot on the hairpin. He
:39:13. > :39:15.has dropped a little time to Hamilton in the middle section. He
:39:16. > :39:23.was the fastest man of anybody in sector one and three. The margin is
:39:24. > :39:27.five thousandths of a second. There is a piece of carbon fibre bodywork
:39:28. > :39:30.lying on the grid close to the pit wall side. Five metres out from the
:39:31. > :39:33.pit wall for. Not a great danger to anybody but they need to know it is
:39:34. > :39:42.therefore top it might be from Kobayashi's car. We are looking at
:39:43. > :39:46.the replay on our monitors. He just does a few pirouettes and triple
:39:47. > :39:53.Salchow 's and comes to arrest on the grid area for top --. Hamilton
:39:54. > :40:06.has been blisteringly quick. 326, it is now. Beautifully precise.
:40:07. > :40:14.Hamilton thunders into the final corner, applause from the fans and
:40:15. > :40:16.the grandstand. That was a great lap from Lewis Hamilton. The quickest
:40:17. > :40:23.lap we have seen so far this weekend. That could well end up
:40:24. > :40:34.being the fastest time of the day and ice was Burke has another go. --
:40:35. > :40:43.unless was Burke. Alonso is third, it yet to use the super soft tyres.
:40:44. > :40:46.I wouldn't be surprised if some of the teams decided to try and do a
:40:47. > :40:50.second lap on these super-soft tyres or maybe a cooldown lap and then go
:40:51. > :40:54.again. With the time it was taken to get the soft tyres up to speed and
:40:55. > :40:58.get the grip out of them suggests maybe you will be able to do more
:40:59. > :41:09.than just one lap on them. A bit of debris coming of Bottas's
:41:10. > :41:14.car. He is on the super-soft tyre as well. As is Felipe Massa. Sergio
:41:15. > :41:21.Perez is having a go on the quicker tyre now. Ben Gutierrez, Ricciardo,
:41:22. > :41:24.and Chilton. We are into that phase of the session, approaching the
:41:25. > :41:29.halfway stage. People are going up to set the fastest times of the day
:41:30. > :41:32.and after they will come back into the pits, but some fuel in the car
:41:33. > :41:35.and do some race simulations and we will get an idea of how competitive
:41:36. > :41:39.they will be on race day. As the Williams crosses the line Bottas is
:41:40. > :41:43.they will be on race day. As the the fastest driver in all the speed
:41:44. > :41:49.traps. Hamilton, the fastest in terms of time but in pure speed
:41:50. > :41:55.traps Bottas is the quickest. As Massa starts his lap you get an idea
:41:56. > :42:00.they have got good aerodynamic force.
:42:01. > :42:03.A lot of smiles around the Williams garage so far this weekend. They
:42:04. > :42:08.haven't necessarily quite translated the performance of this car which
:42:09. > :42:14.was clearly the second best car in pre-season testing into points
:42:15. > :42:17.finishes. Tired at the moment with McLaren on 52 points in the
:42:18. > :42:23.Constructors' Championship, behind Force India, Ferrari, Red Bull and
:42:24. > :42:26.Mercedes. That is not exactly what Williams hoped to be given the
:42:27. > :42:29.problems they came into the season with. Not with the performance they
:42:30. > :42:36.had in Melbourne either. The reality is up at the front the Red Bull
:42:37. > :42:39.cars, Mercedes, the ones which have a bit more resources but in
:42:40. > :42:42.comparison to 2013 this is like winning the world championship for
:42:43. > :42:46.them where they had a dreadful season. Lewis Hamilton has just gone
:42:47. > :42:52.quickest in the middle sector, not the best first tech debate quickest
:42:53. > :42:57.in the middle. 16.157. Equalling his bravest fastest time.
:42:58. > :42:58.Felipe Massa just three engine 28 kilometres per hour onto the final
:42:59. > :43:16.chicane. -- 328. Felipe Massa is only just behind
:43:17. > :43:20.Rosberg. Four tenths off in the first sector than any dropped
:43:21. > :43:24.another three tenths integral on arrest of a lap. They have got a low
:43:25. > :43:30.downforce setup for straight-line speed which is their race strategy
:43:31. > :43:36.side of things. It just proves that they are performing pretty well.
:43:37. > :43:39.Rosberg took your advice and has taken a breather lap and gone for it
:43:40. > :43:47.again. Quite a script as West Ham round. He has just clocked 16.293.
:43:48. > :43:56.Hamilton, was Burke, Massa, Bottas round. He has just clocked 16.293.
:43:57. > :44:00.goes for fastest. Alonso has just gone out now on a set of the
:44:01. > :44:02.super-soft tyres upset the quickest time in free practice in the
:44:03. > :44:08.Ferrari. Here is the annual Ricciardo.
:44:09. > :44:14.That was close. He is on a similar time to Bottas will stop practices
:44:15. > :44:19.sector of the circuit I would expect the Red Bull to be better. This is
:44:20. > :44:29.the area with a big long acceleration areas. This is the
:44:30. > :44:34.point where this team is struggling. This is probably their nightmare for
:44:35. > :44:38.2014. For Mercedes it is their best rank in terms of what this circuit,
:44:39. > :44:43.the characteristics of a car, for Ricciardo and Red Bull, probably the
:44:44. > :44:53.worst. A lot of speed to be giving away.
:44:54. > :44:56.You will have a closing difference of over 24 kilometres an hour
:44:57. > :45:03.between the two, more than enough to make and overtake. Red Bull are
:45:04. > :45:07.struggling. Felipe Massa is improving on this lap, his first
:45:08. > :45:13.sector is the best he has done so far. He is having a second go on the
:45:14. > :45:20.second lap on the super-soft tyres. Ricciardo very close to the at that.
:45:21. > :45:29.He touched it with the left front, I think. He was very close if he
:45:30. > :45:33.didn't. It wasn't close enough for him to
:45:34. > :45:43.start to lift. It was as close as you would ever want to get. He is
:45:44. > :45:52.hanging it all out, Daniel Ricciardo. Eighth fastest in the Red
:45:53. > :45:59.Bull. Alonso in the Ferrari. Because this morning. What has he done in
:46:00. > :46:03.this lap? Personal best. About a 10th down on the Mercedes of
:46:04. > :46:10.Hamilton. That is pretty good. We don't know the amount of fuel they
:46:11. > :46:16.have in the car which can dictate performance. He is the best of the
:46:17. > :46:24.rest in that first sector. The Achilles heel in the Ferrari over
:46:25. > :46:30.the years has been the corners. They always bring an upgrade package to
:46:31. > :46:40.this race. They have got something to give them more power. Fernando
:46:41. > :46:44.Alonso comes in the best of the rest. Squeezing in in front of
:46:45. > :46:54.Williams. Magnusson is seventh in the McLaren. It is Hamilton, Nico
:46:55. > :46:59.Rosberg, Alonso. Punching above his weight in six, Magnusson seventh,
:47:00. > :47:26.Grosjean, suspension. Ricciardo goes back
:47:27. > :47:37.reasonably for grandstand for a Friday in Montreal. Coming into the
:47:38. > :47:45.last chicane. I was standing on the right-hand side. The front of the
:47:46. > :47:55.Red Bull was soaked size. When he turned the steering wheel at you
:47:56. > :48:03.millimetres, the front wheels reacted. You need that round here
:48:04. > :48:06.but you also need the straight-line speed balance. No more speed for
:48:07. > :48:08.Ricciardo. What do you make up the young Australian and the job he has
:48:09. > :48:11.done so far at the wheel the Red Bull? I asked the question last
:48:12. > :48:13.year, would he still be smiling at the end of 2014 Allwood Sebastian
:48:14. > :48:17.Vettel crash his team-mate like he did with Mark Webber almost. But he
:48:18. > :48:23.is the one who has taken over, I would have said when times got
:48:24. > :48:30.difficult when Vettel had a technical problem or what ever. He
:48:31. > :48:37.has produced the performances. In difficult conditions in Melbourne,
:48:38. > :48:41.he has done an excellent job. Ricciardo is fourth in the drivers
:48:42. > :48:45.World Championship with 54 points. Seven behind Fernando Alonso, who
:48:46. > :48:57.manages to keep himself in the Lace. But some weight adrift of the two
:48:58. > :49:08.Mercedes. The gaps are growing. Mercedes on a run of six consecutive
:49:09. > :49:14.one, two finishes. It is impressive. Lewis Hamilton was on pole position
:49:15. > :49:18.for the first round Imam Alton -- Melbourne but as soon as the lights
:49:19. > :49:23.turn to green coming had a problem. They are the dominant team. They
:49:24. > :49:26.have something unique, I would have said in my career lifetime in
:49:27. > :49:31.motorsport to have that strength and depth. To have the performance
:49:32. > :49:41.advantage over everybody else. Here is Sebastian Vettel. His team-mate,
:49:42. > :49:47.Ricciardo. Vettel hits the brakes and gets the 5.4 deceleration on his
:49:48. > :49:56.body that makes his innards want to fly forward into his rib cage, which
:49:57. > :50:02.is harnessed into the car. What are you looking at? He is still on the
:50:03. > :50:06.soft tyre, not the super-soft. They have gone for a different strategy
:50:07. > :50:15.in the way they are running. They still have 40 minutes to go in this
:50:16. > :50:27.session and we are eating into some of the long runs here. Lots of brake
:50:28. > :50:36.dust of the Jenson Button, but his engineer does not seem too
:50:37. > :50:42.concerned. Raikkonen has just done a decent lap and we will see what he
:50:43. > :50:48.can do now. Maybe this was the reason he wasn't quite so quick. The
:50:49. > :50:57.car got out of the way. It was more of a replay of how close we got to
:50:58. > :51:03.the wall. He slips past. Coming back to Jenson Button's comments. When he
:51:04. > :51:11.had a break, there was a tremendous amount of brake dust. The driver can
:51:12. > :51:13.see it. It is a hard braking circuit. High speed, slow corners
:51:14. > :51:17.and historically it has been a problem for the temperature of
:51:18. > :51:25.brakes and the feeling and feed back for the driver. And I think we will
:51:26. > :51:32.hear a few comments about brakes as the race progresses on Sunday. To
:51:33. > :51:35.break into the hairpin, 291 kilometres an hour down to 57
:51:36. > :51:44.kilometres. 2.7 seconds of deceleration. The other thing is,
:51:45. > :51:48.apart ROM along straight that connects the hairpin, there aren't
:51:49. > :51:55.too many other places where the brakes get a chance to cool down?
:51:56. > :51:59.Every braking is big round here. They are cooling down on the
:52:00. > :52:05.straights but then we have a highly intense of energy and then they cool
:52:06. > :52:14.down, then another highly intense of energy. That is why they were out a
:52:15. > :52:25.lot. Romain Grosjean getting cross. Into turn one. There is Felipe
:52:26. > :52:34.Massa, in fifth place. Williams looking competitive. Massa's best
:52:35. > :52:40.result so far is a pair of seventh places. Not had the results his
:52:41. > :52:45.performances would have suggested. 37 minutes remaining on the clock in
:52:46. > :52:50.this freedom clap this two session run the Canadian Grand Prix in
:52:51. > :53:02.Montreal. Now more news from Tom. Two I am standing in front of Danny
:53:03. > :53:12.Kaya's car. Nobody will tell me what the problem is. It suggests it is
:53:13. > :53:22.terminal. -- Daniil Kvyat. I think the guys are taking the floor of the
:53:23. > :53:26.car. He is 19th fastest. It is a big ask for him, it is a real confidence
:53:27. > :53:30.track and he has never been here before. He will now miss out on some
:53:31. > :53:38.vital milage this up and noon. What is interesting is, they have taken
:53:39. > :53:40.his seat out and everybody is so obsessed with the weight of the cars
:53:41. > :53:48.this year which of 50 kilos more than last year. On the back of his
:53:49. > :53:54.seat, it says his seat at ways to .3 kilos. So a nice little exclusive.
:53:55. > :53:59.Massa has just got out of his car and walked into the back of the
:54:00. > :54:10.garage. Can you find out what is going on with Jules Bianchi? 36
:54:11. > :54:21.minutes remaining. Two Mercedes, two Ferraris and then Magnusson is still
:54:22. > :54:26.ahead of Button. 10th place, the Lotus of Romain Grosjean. You can
:54:27. > :54:28.get in touch with us. We have a few more of your questions and
:54:29. > :54:36.observations. David bash away from the action, what is your best
:54:37. > :54:45.Canadian Grand Prix? Mine is the one you mention, when Pablo Montoya was
:54:46. > :54:49.black flagged. This wasn't the best circuit for the Toyota. We struggled
:54:50. > :54:57.with the mechanical grip, we did not get round the corners very well. The
:54:58. > :55:06.thing about it, I am trying to think of the best race. This has produced
:55:07. > :55:15.a lot of good races. We have just seen Kobayashi, bouncing across.
:55:16. > :55:27.Grosjean aborted the corner early. One of the things about here is pole
:55:28. > :55:36.position is not the defining fact as to whether you win this race or not.
:55:37. > :55:38.Some cars have won it from further back than the third rail on the
:55:39. > :55:42.grid. There have been some memorable ones as we look at a replay from
:55:43. > :55:48.Kobayashi. And very memorable one was Nigel Mansell when he switched
:55:49. > :55:54.the Williams. Raikkonen spinning around. Not getting any rear grip
:55:55. > :56:03.with Ferrari. Spinning round on the exit. It is unusual? It is. Not many
:56:04. > :56:10.times you see people spinning coming out of a corner. Not often it is
:56:11. > :56:18.when you hit the throttle. No harm done, maybe a little flat spot on
:56:19. > :56:26.the tyre. Another memorable Grand Prix was the one and only victory of
:56:27. > :56:31.Laci. A driver with so much promise and sign the contract to race for
:56:32. > :56:32.Williams but Ferrari came and offered
:56:33. > :56:38.Williams but Ferrari came and Sicilian he had to drive a Ferrari.
:56:39. > :56:48.Bought himself out of his contract. Ferrari gave Williams Formula One
:56:49. > :56:54.car and some money as well. He walked away, and it became the
:56:55. > :57:01.dominant carpal Nigel Mansell. I think that was in 1995. Skill in the
:57:02. > :57:10.decision making process and skill in the cup with did not tie up with
:57:11. > :57:12.that one. Some drivers have had tremendous amount of talent behind
:57:13. > :57:19.the wheel but not in their decision-making. Henry Kelsall says,
:57:20. > :57:24.what do you think has been the main reason Kimi Raikkonen has struggled
:57:25. > :57:29.compared to Fernando Alonso? Is it a combination of things? It is always
:57:30. > :57:36.a combination but there is one factor I believe has caused him to
:57:37. > :57:40.struggle more and that is the brakes. It is the braking area. It
:57:41. > :57:46.is something he is very much driver response, feed back and feel. The
:57:47. > :57:54.break by wire systems is more digital and their is less feed back
:57:55. > :57:59.into the foot of the driver. It is an area where Fernando Alonso has a
:58:00. > :58:02.better balance on the way up to the apex. Kimi Raikkonen has struggled.
:58:03. > :58:10.Looking this morning, he looked to be on and off, it wasn't aggressive
:58:11. > :58:15.and smooth. It was like he was sitting on top of the car and not
:58:16. > :58:24.interact ring with it in the way that he really needs to. In the last
:58:25. > :58:26.couple of races he has been more competitive. But so far you have a
:58:27. > :58:32.lawn are sitting in fourth. You have got to drop down a little bit,
:58:33. > :58:37.Raikkonen is now in third. Approaching the hour mark in
:58:38. > :58:40.Montreal. We were mentioning Jules Bianchi had only done three laps in
:58:41. > :58:46.the Marussia. Bianchi had only done three laps in
:58:47. > :58:57.hero the Marussia last time out. Jenny, can you tell us why? No more
:58:58. > :59:05.action the Bianchi. Just three laps in this session. 15 in the last. He
:59:06. > :59:09.ran into a wall of champions and needed a new gearbox. That could be
:59:10. > :59:13.in indicator as to what the problem is. The team are a little bit cagey
:59:14. > :59:21.about it but say it is a Ferrari issue and Y will not be getting back
:59:22. > :59:28.in the car. -- Bianchi. Max Chilton is popping in and just a second as
:59:29. > :59:37.well. A forlorn looking Jules Bianchi. That is sport for years.
:59:38. > :59:43.The first rush of getting Marussia's points in Monaco, then
:59:44. > :59:49.losing so much track time in Montreal. It sounds like a power
:59:50. > :59:54.related problem, a Ferrari problem in the back of that Marussia. Lewis
:59:55. > :00:02.Hamilton seeking to regain the lead of the World Championship. He says
:00:03. > :00:06.he is not bothered about that at the moment, he just wants to be the top
:00:07. > :00:13.of the championship in the last round in Abu Dhabi. He wants to
:00:14. > :00:16.recapture the momentum, he was on a roll. For consecutive wins going
:00:17. > :00:25.into Monaco. Nico Rosberg knew he had to bring that went to an end and
:00:26. > :00:29.he did it? Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton struggling a little bit
:00:30. > :00:32.just to get that edge. He thought he might have been able
:00:33. > :00:37.to do it in qualifying, we would never know now. Certainly in the
:00:38. > :00:39.race was Burke at the control. It is a difficult battle for the two of
:00:40. > :00:43.them. If you take every single session, the difference between Nico
:00:44. > :00:50.Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton has been an average of just over one tenth of
:00:51. > :00:53.a second per lap. They are so tightly matched, so much faster than
:00:54. > :00:56.anybody else. Immediately although talking about is what is my
:00:57. > :01:05.team-mates doing, how was mighty me getting on. There is no focus on any
:01:06. > :01:09.other car in the whole grid. This normally should be a circuit that
:01:10. > :01:13.favours Lewis Hamilton little bit more. He does have to make sure he
:01:14. > :01:16.gets it nailed in qualifying tomorrow, and that will allow him to
:01:17. > :01:20.have the best chance of getting into the first corner first in control.
:01:21. > :01:26.Adrian Sutil is doing his wrong or at the moment on the soft tyre. 19
:01:27. > :01:29.laps is the age of the set of tyres, although this particular stint isn't
:01:30. > :01:35.a 19 lap stint he has used them before. He had problems on his
:01:36. > :01:39.super-soft tyre, he came across Magnussen right here in the final
:01:40. > :01:44.chicane, as well as a little lock-up earlier in the lap. He is doing his
:01:45. > :01:54.long runs on that. The two Mercedes cars of lapping very consistently.
:01:55. > :02:10.That looks like quite a pace they are setting. Perras -- Perras is
:02:11. > :02:14.lapping well. -- Sergio Perez. The last of the late breakers into
:02:15. > :02:19.the hairpin, a little bit too late. The problem that you can quite
:02:20. > :02:24.easily say yes he should break earlier, which in some respects you
:02:25. > :02:27.should do, you have got to know whether limit of your car is, the
:02:28. > :02:33.limit the grid. Struggling so much to build the tyre temperature. It is
:02:34. > :02:39.like a knife edge. You either have it or you don't stop the difference
:02:40. > :02:50.between it is such a marginal amount. So tricky, limited downforce
:02:51. > :02:57.and grip. Daniel Ricciardo's lap times, he is running on the
:02:58. > :03:06.super-soft tyre, the settee used to set his simulation lap. He is a
:03:07. > :03:12.second slower than the Mercedes Hamilton. Very consistent pace from
:03:13. > :03:18.Hamilton. Rosberg has upped the ante a little bit. He has increased his
:03:19. > :03:22.pace a little bit. He is into 1:19s, looks like a crushing
:03:23. > :03:27.performance was again from the Mercedes team. They tend to
:03:28. > :03:32.replicate the same kind of pattern, but we don't know the exact fuel
:03:33. > :03:36.load. You have got to Satan says have been
:03:37. > :03:40.quick in every session, in every Grand Prix this year, it is unlikely
:03:41. > :03:55.they are going to be slow in this one. You can see just a little bit
:03:56. > :04:03.of a dark line on these left rear tyres, loading the tyrant, you see
:04:04. > :04:06.the darker section which is about four or five inches wide in the
:04:07. > :04:15.centre. That is when the tyre is losing its grip. That was on the
:04:16. > :04:19.soft tyre. The harder of the two possibilities this weekend. That
:04:20. > :04:27.will gain a little bit as the race circuit develops grip. It is not an
:04:28. > :04:34.ideal situation. That tyre has only done 15 maps. According to our data.
:04:35. > :04:38.-- 15 laps. You have some in a long hairpin
:04:39. > :04:47.bends, if you look at it out of here, turn to, along, loaded corner.
:04:48. > :04:53.Three times when the rear left is taking a hell of a hit. That is a
:04:54. > :04:57.problem for the tyre, one of the areas the Red Bull, the Mercedes and
:04:58. > :05:03.the Ferrari cars they have been pretty good at through the course of
:05:04. > :05:07.the session. Good crowd here for the Friday,
:05:08. > :05:12.looking down, enjoying us, it is not reined in the session. A bit of
:05:13. > :05:14.sunshine in the air. Blue sky around will mean look at the thermal image
:05:15. > :05:33.camera of great Jon. -- wrote Jon. Plenty of people have gone off
:05:34. > :05:37.there. You can see the tyre is lighting up like a Christmas tree.
:05:38. > :05:41.You can see what Alan was talking about, the leading on the outside
:05:42. > :05:47.tyre taking that extra load when you exit the corners. Hamilton,
:05:48. > :05:51.Rosberg. One and two at the moment, Raikkonen third, Alonso, Master,
:05:52. > :05:57.Bottas, the top six. Not too many people doing long runs. Some
:05:58. > :06:10.starting to go out and do it now. Consistent lap times from Hamilton.
:06:11. > :06:17.One: 19.1 from Rosberg. A little bit less consistent from him.
:06:18. > :06:23.One: 19.1 from Rosberg. A little bit Ricciardo, last lap, just picking up
:06:24. > :06:28.his pace. We will study this after the session and see who looks in
:06:29. > :06:41.good shape for the race. Yet to see what the Force Indias country.
:06:42. > :06:49.-- can do. Williams is going strong, but its characteristic has gone
:06:50. > :06:52.extremely well here in Monza. Here we haven't had the results will stop
:06:53. > :07:00.there are forms and results haven't quite linked up. They are not quite
:07:01. > :07:01.up to where I expect them to be full stop-it expect him to be much faster
:07:02. > :07:10.tomorrow .
:07:11. > :07:14.Sebastian Vettel comes down, slows down to just over 90 mph full top
:07:15. > :07:18.flicks the company first. Three the final chicane, gives the Wall of
:07:19. > :07:25.Champions wide berth about six inches. Goes through in the sixth
:07:26. > :07:33.fastest time. The fastest he has managed in all three sectors. Is
:07:34. > :07:36.that all Red Bull have got this weekend? Beaten by the two Ferrari
:07:37. > :07:39.cars under Williams for. Christian Horner told us this morning he
:07:40. > :07:48.thought fifth-place would be what they might aspire to. They won this
:07:49. > :07:52.Grand Prix last year. We were just saying so far Force India have been
:07:53. > :07:57.keeping their powder dry, 13th and 14th for Hulkenberg and Sergio
:07:58. > :08:00.Perez. Keeping their powder dry is not
:08:01. > :08:03.exactly how I would rate it. Hulkenberg has been out of the car
:08:04. > :08:08.for the last 15 minutes. There is Hulkenberg has been out of the car
:08:09. > :08:12.issue at the back of the car. Initially I thought is there a
:08:13. > :08:16.terminal power unit problem last remark they have just tried to fire
:08:17. > :08:20.the Kara. It would suggest they think they have found a solution.
:08:21. > :08:27.Hulkenberg has come back into the garage. Expect to see him out
:08:28. > :08:34.shortly. Can we have a look at the front wings at the front of the car?
:08:35. > :08:41.There are three of them, they are 80 grand each, that is about the
:08:42. > :08:45.average house price in the UK you are looking up there. Those three
:08:46. > :08:50.wings put together. If we come this way, it is interesting to compare
:08:51. > :08:55.the Sauber friend went and the Force India front wing. Just to see how
:08:56. > :08:58.much more intricate Force India front wing is. You have got these
:08:59. > :09:02.three turning veins, a lot more going on on the Force India front
:09:03. > :09:10.wing than the Sauber friend went which is more basic. -- Sauber front
:09:11. > :09:17.wing. Good luck getting a mortgage to buy those. 240 ground for three
:09:18. > :09:23.front wings. They can get taken off in an instant at the start line.
:09:24. > :09:31.A replay of Nico Rosberg locking up the right front. He aborted and took
:09:32. > :09:35.down the escape route. Lewis Hamilton coming down to the last
:09:36. > :09:40.chicane, this is where they were very good this morning. They may
:09:41. > :09:47.come through that, the car absorbed it, the wheels slipped up. They can
:09:48. > :09:55.get straight back onto the throttle.
:09:56. > :10:02.Hamilton has done a laps on the set of tyres, Sebastian Vettel comes
:10:03. > :10:09.through. Third fastest for him. Second fly on lap -- flying lap on
:10:10. > :10:15.the super-soft tyre. That was a sharp lap from the reigning
:10:16. > :10:21.champion. The defending Canadian Grand Prix winner. Sebastian Vettel
:10:22. > :10:26.Grossberg. RADIO: we need to do a better job, stage two.
:10:27. > :10:31.That is Sergio Perez being told he needs to do a better job on fuel
:10:32. > :10:35.saving, stage two, lift and coastal top left earlier and coast a bit
:10:36. > :10:42.more, save a bit more fuel. Around here you can do that with not
:10:43. > :10:45.as big a time loss as may be other circuits, reduced aerodynamics, the
:10:46. > :10:52.carp floats through a bit better. When you are coming up to the next
:10:53. > :10:58.one, you can lift off 150 metres and lose just a little bit. The gain on
:10:59. > :11:02.the fuel is significant. That is something they will be coaching the
:11:03. > :11:06.drivers through the course of the session, doing the long runs in
:11:07. > :11:10.operation for Sunday afternoon. This circuit is very heavy on fuel. It
:11:11. > :11:18.will be quite critical. There will be a lot of discussions on the radio
:11:19. > :11:22.on Sunday about better fuel mileage. In the days of the V8 engines around
:11:23. > :11:32.here they used EU 's 2.38 kilos of fuel per lap -- they used to use.
:11:33. > :11:39.30% has been taken away, now it is 1.43 kilos per lap. That is what you
:11:40. > :11:42.need with these hybrid turbo cars. You can see the saving in terms of
:11:43. > :11:45.the fuel economy of these cars in comparison thanks to this
:11:46. > :11:48.the fuel economy of these cars in improved energy recovery system
:11:49. > :11:53.which gives 160 horsepower back into the system harvested from breaking
:11:54. > :11:57.and teach energy from the turbo. -- heat energy for stop the maths don't
:11:58. > :12:01.add up so it will be quite tight with 100 kilos to do the race
:12:02. > :12:04.without having to do so it will be quite tight with 100 kilos to do the
:12:05. > :12:08.race without having to decent fuel saving.
:12:09. > :12:19.You have to decent fuel saving. -- do some. The rear tyres again, the
:12:20. > :12:22.left rear tyre got that dark band. The left rear, we will see it on the
:12:23. > :12:26.way out of the corner, right in the middle, that dark band whether
:12:27. > :12:31.graining is happening. When you get that, you have got little grip.
:12:32. > :12:42.Let's get down to the pits. You had the pleasure of going out
:12:43. > :12:46.this morning, the first time, in the Castle. You have done a lot of work
:12:47. > :12:52.with the team so far. Tell us what is your main observation of the 2014
:12:53. > :12:56.car. The biggest difference is the breaking. That is what surprised me
:12:57. > :13:03.for I went into the session not knowing what to expect, a simulator
:13:04. > :13:06.can only do so much. There were some things that caught me off guard and
:13:07. > :13:11.some things were better than expected, but the one big thing that
:13:12. > :13:14.took getting used to was the breaking. Very different, a break by
:13:15. > :13:18.wire system for stop powder that translate to a driver, what you feel
:13:19. > :13:25.is different? You don't have control on the rear brakes, so the technique
:13:26. > :13:28.that has been ingrained has to go out the window a little bit.
:13:29. > :13:31.that has been ingrained has to go makes things a little bit difficult,
:13:32. > :13:37.a hard habit to break. At the end of the day, after my 25 laps I felt I
:13:38. > :13:43.was getting on top of it. Disappointing for me to have the
:13:44. > :13:48.other cargo quicker, but at the end of the day it was successful. Talk
:13:49. > :13:54.to me about how much you are having to do. You have to do a lot more in
:13:55. > :14:00.one aspect, but others you aren't. You're changing the carp a lot but
:14:01. > :14:03.on the actual lap you are trying to get the lap time out of the car, you
:14:04. > :14:07.are not doing anything, you are doing less than you are used to
:14:08. > :14:16.because the KERS isn't all that it now. -- is alter Matic now. -- is
:14:17. > :14:22.automatic now. What other like ammo? This circuit doesn't get used very
:14:23. > :14:32.often. Very slippery this morning, tyre warm up was a big issue. That
:14:33. > :14:36.will be a feature of the weekend. Similar to a track like Monica, it
:14:37. > :14:40.might as well be a straight circuit was in every session is getting
:14:41. > :14:44.exponentially better for stop hopefully tyre warm up issues will
:14:45. > :14:49.not be as bad as the weekend goes on. Kobayashi is out at the moment
:14:50. > :14:53.but Marcus Ericsson added transmission problem, he doesn't get
:14:54. > :14:57.any running. What is the mood like in the team, a pretty rough race
:14:58. > :15:03.last time with Marussia managing to get two points, what does it feel
:15:04. > :15:09.like knitting? -- what does it feel like in the team? Identikit will
:15:10. > :15:14.hurt them too much. Obviously Sunday night in Monaco everybody was
:15:15. > :15:16.disappointed. Everybody is as motivated as they have
:15:17. > :15:20.disappointed. Everybody is as pushing forward and do the best they

:15:36. > :15:39.Caterham. He is a big guy, a tall driver, the same mould as Mark
:15:40. > :15:43.Webber and Nico Hulkenberg. A lot of promise. We will see if he gets a

:16:36. > :16:38.the nail on the head. They are working the tyre in the correct

:17:03. > :17:10.is only 3:15pm in the afternoon on Friday. I am talking about on the
:17:11. > :17:17.track. We have all but four cars out on the circuit will stop Vettel is
:17:18. > :17:21.in the pits, Daniil Kvyat is in trouble, as we heard before and has
:17:22. > :17:27.the floor off his car. There is a problem with Jules Bianchi and the
:17:28. > :17:29.power unit. He has only done three laps. Ericsson stopped on the
:17:30. > :17:35.circuit in the caterer about half an hour into this session and losing

:17:47. > :17:51.grey clouds that were hanging over us at the beginning have finally
:17:52. > :17:56.gone. A few in the distance but it is a beautiful sunny afternoon in

:18:00. > :18:02.kind of colour we will have over the weekend. The forecast for tomorrow
:18:03. > :18:09.and Sunday is temperatures are in the high 20s and it will be set for
:18:10. > :18:15.a good-looking spectacle with a sunny Vista and the track surrounded
:18:16. > :18:27.by water here in Montreal. Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Vettel in the top
:18:28. > :18:37.three. I don't wink we will see anybody else setting any quicker
:18:38. > :18:42.times in terms of simulations, but we are looking at the race pace.
:18:43. > :18:48.Williams isn't looking too bad in the hands of Felipe Massa. One of
:18:49. > :18:52.the Lotus cars has dragged a lot of dirt onto the track? He lost the
:18:53. > :18:54.rear coming into the first apex. Grosjean went across. It is a tea
:18:55. > :19:04.tray that is underneath the driver. It is like a shovel when you are
:19:05. > :19:07.going across the grass. You will see this commonly tomorrow morning and
:19:08. > :19:11.possibly into qualifying as well. People will have little laughs and
:19:12. > :19:20.lose the rear grip and decide to abort the corner. A conversation
:19:21. > :19:28.going on with Daniil Kvyat who is now in his team uniform talking to
:19:29. > :19:31.the engineers. Joining us from the Red Bull pit wall is a team
:19:32. > :19:39.principal, Christian Horner. Good afternoon. A good run for Sebastian
:19:40. > :19:45.Vettel. We saw on board at the end of the lap, Parenti of position and
:19:46. > :19:56.energy at the steering wheel, you must be pleased? It was very good.
:19:57. > :20:00.Working on setup and put a decent run together. The pace of the
:20:01. > :20:03.Mercedes looks worrying. But I guess it is no surprise to you, but they
:20:04. > :20:12.look strong on the single lap and the long runs? It looks a bit
:20:13. > :20:17.depressing! But it is supposed to get warmer on Sunday, compared to
:20:18. > :20:22.today so it will probably have an influence. What we are seeing now
:20:23. > :20:29.might not be relevant to Sunday. How is the tyre degradation on the
:20:30. > :20:36.super-soft tyre? It is not too bad. It is about Alan 's. It is about
:20:37. > :20:41.getting a reasonable balance from the outside and it will have a
:20:42. > :20:48.reasonable longevity. It depends how sensitive to temperature it will be
:20:49. > :20:51.on Sunday. It is about getting the tyres into that window which
:20:52. > :20:58.Mercedes seem to do. Are you finding it easy to get into the window on
:20:59. > :21:02.your car? We are probably running a lot less downforce from Mercedes so
:21:03. > :21:05.it is hard to generate the temperature. Hopefully as the
:21:06. > :21:13.temperature comes up on the track it should let helpers in the weekend.
:21:14. > :21:17.We saw in Monaco the two Mercedes drivers having a battle, what is the
:21:18. > :21:23.atmosphere like between your two? Ricciardo is giving Vettel a bit of
:21:24. > :21:29.a challenge? It is a bit of a challenge. They get on well, are of
:21:30. > :21:33.a similar age. There is rivalry on track, but it is a healthy rivalry
:21:34. > :21:40.and does not spill over to ask track. They are both focused on
:21:41. > :21:44.making the cargo quicker. The quicker you go, the more fuel you
:21:45. > :21:50.use, how will that run-out are you guys on Sunday at noon with a 100
:21:51. > :21:55.kilograms limit? We should be OK, it is about strategically plotting your
:21:56. > :22:00.way through. There are a few pace cars here as well. That then
:22:01. > :22:08.obviously takes any pressure off fuel. Do you expect one to be on
:22:09. > :22:12.Sunday, is that in your mind when you are doing your programming? It
:22:13. > :22:23.depends how risky you want to go. No risk, no fun. How risky are you
:22:24. > :22:26.going to be? You should know by now, we love risk. You have nothing to
:22:27. > :22:30.lose. Renault said they would give you 100% of the power finally, is
:22:31. > :22:36.that what is coming through and making a difference? I am not sure,
:22:37. > :22:44.we have the same amount of power we had last week. We are looking
:22:45. > :22:52.forward to 100% at the weekend. From what you are seeing so far, the race
:22:53. > :22:57.on Sunday, is two stop going to be faster? It is difficult to call at
:22:58. > :23:01.the moment, it will depend on the weather. If it is hot, that could
:23:02. > :23:07.swing it towards two stop. Somebody will try to make a one stop working
:23:08. > :23:13.for them. There is always the safety car here at Montreal. Thanks your
:23:14. > :23:28.time. Hamilton from Nico Rosberg will stop Ricciardo is in 12th.
:23:29. > :23:38.It has been two x two team order apart from Vettel and Raikkonen.
:23:39. > :23:46.Once again, keeping company with the big boys in the top ten in the Toro
:23:47. > :23:54.Rosso. If we go down to the other end, we have Maldonado, whereas,
:23:55. > :24:01.Sutil on 79 and had to raise. Marussia is a bit closer again to
:24:02. > :24:10.the Marussia. Hamilton is now on a set of soft tyres. Having done a few
:24:11. > :24:13.laps on the super-soft. Christian Horner was saying a slightly
:24:14. > :24:17.depressing long run pace from Mercedes. I don't think anybody
:24:18. > :24:22.thought Mercedes with come here and do anything else would drive off
:24:23. > :24:26.into the distance. A betting man would look at the record here of
:24:27. > :24:32.Hamilton with three wins and three pole positions. You put your hard
:24:33. > :24:38.earned cash on the man from Stevenage to do it this weekend. One
:24:39. > :24:44.of the reasons why Hamilton wanted to very behold disgruntlement with
:24:45. > :24:47.Nico Rosberg by putting out a tweet, saying he reached out on the phone
:24:48. > :24:57.to Nico Rosberg, called him up, they are friends again. And oversteer
:24:58. > :25:02.problem to Jenson Button in the McLaren. Do you buy that story?
:25:03. > :25:06.Hamilton wants to go into this weekend and not think about Nico
:25:07. > :25:14.Rosberg, wants to drive his fastest race. Do you buy the thing they have
:25:15. > :25:20.buried the hatchet? There are two parts to this. Maldonado has just
:25:21. > :25:24.locked up big style. One part is, do I buy the fact Hamilton needs and
:25:25. > :25:32.wants to put Monaco behind him? Yes, he needs to clear his head, come to
:25:33. > :25:34.this grand prix. He has got to get back on track. Do I buy they are
:25:35. > :25:38.friends? No, I don't. They live close to each other, they work in
:25:39. > :25:45.the same environment. But Nico Rosberg said it best. Where is my
:25:46. > :25:55.team-mate, was his radio call early on. Where can I improve. It is not
:25:56. > :25:58.very cordial. Nico Rosberg said their relationship is more
:25:59. > :26:02.difficult. There has to be. You cannot go through these situations
:26:03. > :26:08.without there being a little bit of friction. There has to be a
:26:09. > :26:12.separation of that friendship, the mental separation that you would
:26:13. > :26:18.treat your team-mate, the other side of the garage exactly the way you
:26:19. > :26:26.would do as any other person on the grid. It is built in. You cannot
:26:27. > :26:29.have it any other way. One of them is almost certainly going to be the
:26:30. > :26:32.Formula One world Champion. Will it be Hamilton of the second time or
:26:33. > :26:38.Nico Rosberg for the first time. I am sure later in life, just in
:26:39. > :26:44.earlier in life, their friendship will be strong and they will be able
:26:45. > :26:53.to laugh about this time over a glass of brandy around the
:26:54. > :27:01.fireplace. There is no time for friendship at the moment between
:27:02. > :27:08.them. They stand in each other's way. Remember Ayrton Senna and Alan
:27:09. > :27:11.Frost, they ended up, once Alan Frost had retired, baby came friends
:27:12. > :27:17.and spoke regularly in the weeks and months or Ayrton Senna's death in
:27:18. > :27:24.1994. Into the closing stages then. Just under three minutes remaining.
:27:25. > :27:28.This has revealed the same picture we expected. Mercedes quickest on a
:27:29. > :27:32.single lap. Hamilton faster than Sebastian Vettel in the qualifying
:27:33. > :27:42.simulations. Mercedes very strong on the long runs with strong pace and
:27:43. > :27:44.consistent pace. Looking like they are getting these super-soft tyres
:27:45. > :27:53.to last where other teams seem to be struggling. Changes and upgrades on
:27:54. > :27:57.the Ferrari have made a difference. They might be surprised to see
:27:58. > :28:05.Vettel in front of them after the qualifying simulations. The two
:28:06. > :28:12.Williams, sixth and seventh. McLaren is a and ninth. We have not seen the
:28:13. > :28:16.best of Force India, 13th and 14th, Hulkenberg and Perez. They should be
:28:17. > :28:23.a contender for a top three grid start. They have done well here in
:28:24. > :28:27.the past in terms of speed. I expect them to be sick that the can leave
:28:28. > :28:33.further up. They will have to be a them to be sick that the can leave
:28:34. > :28:40.with Williams. It is where they look in terms of the long runs, they are
:28:41. > :28:48.pretty quick. Massa is going round in a 19.81. It is not as used as
:28:49. > :28:50.some of the other people about him, but it is still quick. Those
:28:51. > :28:58.Mercedes have put in the homework this afternoon. Lewis Hamilton is
:28:59. > :29:09.competing -- completing his 42nd lap. Has spent almost no time in the
:29:10. > :29:14.pits and has done a long run on the super-soft. Now he is on the soft
:29:15. > :29:17.and dangling in the laps one after the other. He has got a good sense
:29:18. > :29:28.of what the race is going to be like for him? He is trying to follow the
:29:29. > :29:32.track evolution with the tyre. It is putting rubber down and the tyre
:29:33. > :29:35.will have an easier time. They are following the track progression is
:29:36. > :29:47.that it will evolve today and tomorrow. We have a Toro Rosso down
:29:48. > :29:53.the escape road. The same escape road Jean-Eric Vergne went down. He
:29:54. > :29:59.is reversing onto the racing line. Now onto the breaking point. You can
:30:00. > :30:05.see the tyre on turning right. He managed to get going. That is what
:30:06. > :30:10.Ericsson could not do earlier on. Neatly done from Jean Eric Berne.
:30:11. > :30:15.Counting down and the chequered flag comes out at the end of this free
:30:16. > :30:24.practice session. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, one on two. Sebastian
:30:25. > :30:29.Vettel, second flying lap on the super-soft tyre. He is in third.
:30:30. > :30:36.Raikkonen ahead of Alonso. Williams doing well in sixth and seventh,
:30:37. > :30:47.Massa ahead of Bottas. Riccardo rounding up the top 12. Alan, what
:30:48. > :30:53.are your thoughts? The Mercedes are in a strong position. Ferrari are
:30:54. > :30:57.quicker, their upgrades have helped. Williams are looking strong, expect
:30:58. > :31:02.Force India to leapfrog up there as well tomorrow. The temperature is
:31:03. > :31:06.set to be hotter. 21 degrees this up on in. Beautiful sunshine
:31:07. > :31:10.set to be hotter. 21 degrees this up on in. Beautiful here in Montreal.
:31:11. > :31:15.We have seen lots of action. Lewis Hamilton has been doing his
:31:16. > :31:21.homework. He knows what lies ahead of him this weekend in qualifying.
:31:22. > :31:28.He sets the fastest time here this afternoon 1.16 point 118. Sends out
:31:29. > :31:36.a clear message to the rest of the Formula One paddock. Come and get
:31:37. > :31:39.me. Another Mercedes one, two. Lewis Hamilton will be delighted as he
:31:40. > :31:45.takes momentum into Saturday. He is so strong here. It is his team-mate,
