The Italian Grand Prix - Qualifying

:01:08. > :01:45.DANCE MUSIC this is amazing raising between the two Mercedes team-mate!

:01:46. > :01:50.I had to pull out all the stops. I am Berry disappointed to come

:01:51. > :01:56.second. He has gone straight on. I think Hamilton went over. He had to

:01:57. > :02:02.pass that area under the yellow flags. I will definitely look into

:02:03. > :02:07.it when I get back. I blocked Lewis so I'm sorry for that but I'm happy

:02:08. > :02:10.it worked out. Lewis accusing the other one of doing something stupid.

:02:11. > :02:15.I try to fix this this morning with Lewis but I could not. What is the

:02:16. > :02:22.relationship like between you at the moment? There is not much to say

:02:23. > :02:30.about it. RADIO: Why isn't he letting me through? He has had the

:02:31. > :02:35.message. As far as I'm aware, in my mind, I was racing him. He was given

:02:36. > :02:39.the order several times to let you pass and he did not. It does not

:02:40. > :02:45.make sense for me to speak about that now. Oh, he has damaged the

:02:46. > :02:54.front wing on Rosberg's car! Hamilton has a punch-up. RADIO: He

:02:55. > :02:58.hit me. Unacceptable. RADIO: Lewis, we need to box and cool the car. It

:02:59. > :03:04.looks as though Hamilton's race is done. This is an acceptable for me

:03:05. > :03:09.that Nico Rosberg hit Lewis Hamilton. Fishel, I regret that we

:03:10. > :03:11.touched because it cost me the win. I don't know why he hit me but I'm

:03:12. > :03:21.sure he will leave here happy. We are certainly going to get some

:03:22. > :03:25.more this weekend and what place to drink it all in, one of the most

:03:26. > :03:32.classic of racing temples. Welcome to for Monza. An absolute mecca for

:03:33. > :03:36.the tifosi, the Ferrari fans are here in droves, and David and Eddie

:03:37. > :03:41.are along for the ride. As we saw there, what a story we are getting

:03:42. > :03:46.in Formula One this year. I think we have been dished up with something

:03:47. > :03:51.absolutely appealing. It has been cut and thrust, up and down,

:03:52. > :03:56.friends, foes, high point and low points. It has been a fantastic

:03:57. > :04:00.season so far. It has, and David, coming to the last track in Europe,

:04:01. > :04:05.Monza, a proper race's track. It has got the speed and the hard braking

:04:06. > :04:09.sections. This is the fastest track on the calendar in terms of average

:04:10. > :04:14.speed. You will be regularly breaking from well over 210 mph into

:04:15. > :04:17.the various big stops. It is a huge challenge for the driver's

:04:18. > :04:26.concentration. That kind of speed, in the blink of an eye, you can

:04:27. > :04:29.travel 15-20 metres I miss your breaking point. Huge pressure. We

:04:30. > :04:32.are surrounded by the fans. It is a sell-out. Localise might be on the

:04:33. > :04:34.Ferrari drivers but a lot of others are on the headline making Mercedes

:04:35. > :04:43.boys. If you missed what happened last time out, this is it.

:04:44. > :04:49.COMMENTATOR: Lights out, away we go, the two Mercedes up against each

:04:50. > :04:53.other, Nico Rosberg makes a good start but Hamilton makes a better

:04:54. > :04:56.one. Hamilton snatches the lead, Sebastian Vettel round the outside.

:04:57. > :05:01.Sebastian Vettel slipstream is, tries to go past Lewis Hamilton but

:05:02. > :05:06.this time, you fail. He has to take the short cut and he will lose a

:05:07. > :05:10.couple of places as a result. -- he fails. Nico Rosberg has a look at

:05:11. > :05:14.the outside. A little touch and it has damaged the front wing of

:05:15. > :05:24.Rosberg's car. Hamilton has a punch-up. RADIO: He hit me. He has

:05:25. > :05:29.hit me. Daniel Ricciardo passes Alonso, DRS in operation and he uses

:05:30. > :05:32.it to best effect. Sebastian Vettel gets on the curb, has a wobble and

:05:33. > :05:38.loses momentum which allowed Ricciardo to overtake him. Nico

:05:39. > :05:40.Rosberg into the pits for a front wing change which puts Daniel

:05:41. > :05:44.Ricciardo into the lead at the Belgian Grand Prix. Valtteri Bottas

:05:45. > :05:49.is making a move on Alonso, comfortably overtaking him to move

:05:50. > :05:53.into fourth place. An opportunity for Nico Rosberg as they come down

:05:54. > :05:57.towards the stop, does he go for the inside? He has a think and looks up

:05:58. > :06:02.and goes down the outside and almost overdoes it. Look at this, Raikkonen

:06:03. > :06:08.battling Jenson Button and he has managed to nip in front of Jenson

:06:09. > :06:10.Button. Valtteri Bottas to the outside of Sebastian Vettel.

:06:11. > :06:16.Sebastian Vettel is late on the brakes and he is through! Lovely

:06:17. > :06:21.move. Upfront, Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Rosberg in the background has

:06:22. > :06:26.closed the gap by 0.5 seconds in the last two laps. Hamilton comes in and

:06:27. > :06:29.it looks as though his races done. Alonso on the grass, battling with

:06:30. > :06:32.Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button takes advantage, goes round the

:06:33. > :06:40.outside. Alonso comes in between Beattie McLaren drivers if he can

:06:41. > :06:45.any Jenson Button get it. The McLarens almost touching. Jenson

:06:46. > :06:49.Button squeezed out Alonso takes the place, and Sebastian Vettel still

:06:50. > :06:52.hunting. Daniel Ricciardo wins the Belgian Grand Prix, and Nico Rosberg

:06:53. > :07:00.finishes second. Valtteri Bottas in third position. That that victory

:07:01. > :07:06.for Daniel Ricciardo. -- back-to-back victories.

:07:07. > :07:10.That was an incredible race and an incredible person to my left is

:07:11. > :07:20.joining us now. Hello. Nice to see you. Finally found you guys, good to

:07:21. > :07:23.be here. We just what -- we just watched what happened last time that

:07:24. > :07:27.we could not find a better man to talk to about crashing into team

:07:28. > :07:30.partners than yourself. Let's go back to Turkey in 2010, one of those

:07:31. > :07:33.famous team-mate crashes which went down as a racing incident in the

:07:34. > :07:36.end. How down as a racing incident in the

:07:37. > :07:44.team from your perspective? Not very well! It is not easy. When you start

:07:45. > :07:48.to fight for victories, it is not easy for the team to handle. In that

:07:49. > :07:50.race, we had McLaren breathing down our necks with a

:07:51. > :07:55.race, we had McLaren breathing down were not in a luxurious position of

:07:56. > :07:59.dominating every Grand Prix. When the team-mates clash, obviously, it

:08:00. > :08:03.provides a lot of friction inside the team. David knows, when you have

:08:04. > :08:06.2 guys fighting for victory, it is not easy. But last time out, the

:08:07. > :08:09.puncture changed everything, for you to go into the corner and

:08:10. > :08:13.deliberately give someone a puncture, forget it. Nico Rosberg

:08:14. > :08:17.damaged his wing and the puncture changed the scenario for the media

:08:18. > :08:20.and both of their races. It is interesting you say that because if

:08:21. > :08:24.you look at the public reaction, some people have accused Nico

:08:25. > :08:26.Rosberg of cheating. I agree with you, you cannot target to puncture

:08:27. > :08:30.Rosberg of cheating. I agree with somebody's rear tyre. Do you see it

:08:31. > :08:35.as a bit clumsy, getting his elbows out, going wheel-to-wheel with

:08:36. > :08:40.Lewis? Yes, you was on pole position but he was behind, trying to

:08:41. > :08:44.attack. -- he was. He was frustrated, trying to force the

:08:45. > :08:49.issue and in the end, the sidewall got to Lewis' tire and then it turns

:08:50. > :08:55.into a bigger see no. For the team to manage that inside, then, is not

:08:56. > :08:56.that easy. Lewis has chipped his front wing a few times coming back

:08:57. > :09:00.through the field and it front wing a few times coming back

:09:01. > :09:05.You can clip your front wing off on people but try not to do it on your

:09:06. > :09:12.team-mate. I need to ask you, moving on from there, what happens? We saw

:09:13. > :09:16.a couple of years ago, when there was one new nose available. What

:09:17. > :09:22.does Mercedes do now? We know Nico Rosberg is 29 points ahead. Do they

:09:23. > :09:25.favour him? I think it is too early in the championship especially with

:09:26. > :09:28.double points on the card at the end of the season. You can't change the

:09:29. > :09:33.rules as the season goes on and that is what is hard in the team. Did we

:09:34. > :09:36.know Mercedes were going to be so dominant this year? Probably not.

:09:37. > :09:39.know Mercedes were going to be so The team had a fantastic race in

:09:40. > :09:43.Bahrain, for the win, and in Budapest, they change the rules, let

:09:44. > :09:47.him go because he's on quicker tyres and it creates doubt and friction

:09:48. > :09:51.among the drivers. What has changed? Why is it like that now? For me at

:09:52. > :09:55.Silverstone, new front wing because someone was quickest in practice.

:09:56. > :09:57.Where does it come from? The challenge is keeping the consistency

:09:58. > :10:02.when new rules pop-up. challenge is keeping the consistency

:10:03. > :10:07.easy to become slightly paranoid about the team as a driver. How do

:10:08. > :10:10.you control that, clear everything, and decide that you just have to go

:10:11. > :10:14.out there and do what you have got to do? You have to pull it right

:10:15. > :10:15.back and work hard with the engineers. At the end of the day,

:10:16. > :10:20.ignore the grandstands, everyone in engineers. At the end of the day,

:10:21. > :10:21.the paddock, you have got the car and the track and it is your job to

:10:22. > :10:23.drive on and the track and it is your job to

:10:24. > :10:26.maximum out of the car. It is and the track and it is your job to

:10:27. > :10:29.said than done. Trying to get emotion out of it

:10:30. > :10:32.said than done. Trying to get For me, it is easy to look at now

:10:33. > :10:33.and say we could all have handled it differently but when

:10:34. > :10:39.and say we could all have handled it the bubble, it is great difficulty.

:10:40. > :10:43.Mart, critic to see you, thanks real insight and we will catch you later

:10:44. > :10:47.in the season. -- horrific to see you, thank you for your insight.

:10:48. > :10:51.This is how we go into the race with seven to go. After that much

:10:52. > :10:57.discussed Mercedes incident, Nico Rosberg is now leading by 29

:10:58. > :11:00.points. The top scorer of the last six hours, Daniel Ricciardo, is 35

:11:01. > :11:04.behind Hamilton, and Sebastian Vettel is sixth, 58 points adrift of

:11:05. > :11:09.the Australian and the reigning world champion has not led a lap

:11:10. > :11:13.this year. Mercedes are still rocking the constructors' title over

:11:14. > :11:16.Red Bull. The battle for third place is tight, ten points separating

:11:17. > :11:23.Ferrari and Williams, with McLaren in fifth and Marussia in ninth with

:11:24. > :11:26.a couple of vital points. But of course, all the talk is about

:11:27. > :11:33.Mercedes. Eddie has gone to find team boss Toto Wolff. Bearing in

:11:34. > :11:36.mind everything that has happened in the last number of races, is there

:11:37. > :11:43.anything you would have done differently now? That is a good

:11:44. > :11:46.question. I think in the evening, when you switch off the light, you

:11:47. > :11:50.have to reflect on what you have done well and badly and how to

:11:51. > :11:55.improve. I think there are always things to improve. We had a very

:11:56. > :11:59.difficult situation. It was new ground we have touched with both

:12:00. > :12:02.drivers competing on an equal level. We let them race. Absolutely, there

:12:03. > :12:09.are things we could have done better. The point is, when you see

:12:10. > :12:14.that you were so outwardly critical of Nico Rosberg at the last race,

:12:15. > :12:18.when what you said was recorded, it is not really very usual to have a

:12:19. > :12:25.team boss criticising a driver so openly. If you remember my words, I

:12:26. > :12:30.did not put anything on Nico because it would not have been fair. I would

:12:31. > :12:34.have said both courted each other on the second lap was unacceptable. But

:12:35. > :12:37.it was clearly identified with one person because you must have spoken

:12:38. > :12:43.to him to ask him to apologise or suggest that he did. Why would you

:12:44. > :12:47.feel the need to do that? I did not asking to apologise. We gave them a

:12:48. > :12:52.cooling off period of a couple of days and he reflected and came back

:12:53. > :12:57.and took it on himself. It is not a matter of 100% fault. It is who is

:12:58. > :13:02.to blame for more than 50%. That is what he said. I personally saw it as

:13:03. > :13:06.a 50-50 racing accident so we take on board what you said. This is

:13:07. > :13:12.probably a difficult situation for you. With your experience, with such

:13:13. > :13:15.a great brand, Mercedes, and two great drivers, is the role of team

:13:16. > :13:20.boss a difficult one for you to handle? It is not only the brand,

:13:21. > :13:22.because we represent one of the largest brands in the world but

:13:23. > :13:27.there are many people in a factory working flat out. We had parts on

:13:28. > :13:33.the car in Spa which was supposed to come in Monza or Singapore. People

:13:34. > :13:37.did not go home at the weekend, they were working 24-7, and a race being

:13:38. > :13:40.thrown away on the second lap is not what they deserve which is why maybe

:13:41. > :13:45.we went a bit harder. But I guess this is part of my role. Final

:13:46. > :13:49.question, everyone is on tenterhooks, you said it is not

:13:50. > :13:52.accent double and if it continues, you have to take repercussions on

:13:53. > :13:58.one of the drivers. Would that mean sacking one of them? They are always

:13:59. > :14:02.a radical words. What I said is that if we cannot manage the situation,

:14:03. > :14:06.we would continue to have cars hitting each other, definitely, the

:14:07. > :14:09.driver line-up as to be questioned. But I'm sure this is not going to

:14:10. > :14:16.happen like that. Thank you for joining us. So what do you think?

:14:17. > :14:21.Toto Wolff has said they can still race but effectively, they are

:14:22. > :14:25.really racing each other for the championship, to be world champion.

:14:26. > :14:30.Will we still see that 100% commitment from both of them? Will

:14:31. > :14:32.either of them back off at all? We should not write off Daniel

:14:33. > :14:36.Ricciardo as well because in the last six weeks he has scored more

:14:37. > :14:40.points than anyone. Under normal conditions, it is between these two.

:14:41. > :14:43.The management have done everything they can, said it has not been

:14:44. > :14:47.acceptable, dealt with the drivers but they have to let them get out

:14:48. > :14:51.there and race. The fad has spoken, and Mercedes are not going to go

:14:52. > :14:54.against that. They are in this for marketing reasons as well as

:14:55. > :14:58.engineering reasons. There is every likelihood they will touch again

:14:59. > :15:02.between now and the ever the season. You make decisions at over 200 mph.

:15:03. > :15:06.If somebody sneezes and they moved the car slightly, as we saw with

:15:07. > :15:08.Mark and Sebastien in this for marketing reasons as well as

:15:09. > :15:10.engineering reasons. There is every likelihood they will touch again

:15:11. > :15:13.between now and the ever the season. You make decisions at over 200 mph.

:15:14. > :15:15.If somebody sneezes and they moved the car slightly, as we saw with

:15:16. > :15:18.Mark and Sebastien interview, contact happens. -- in Turkey.

:15:19. > :15:27.It would appear that way. He had an electronic glitch on his gearbox and

:15:28. > :15:30.they have been working hard to rectify the situation. For two

:15:31. > :15:35.hours. They stopped a quarter of an hour into the final practice, he did

:15:36. > :15:39.not do a lap in anger. They say he will be ready for to qualify but it

:15:40. > :15:45.means Rosberg has not done a qualifying simulation. Advantage

:15:46. > :15:49.Hamilton at this stage. Final word as well, Force India, Sergio Perez

:15:50. > :15:52.had a troubled final practice session. He had a clutch problem. No

:15:53. > :16:00.gearbox penalty for him all Rosberg. -- or Rosberg. It is all

:16:01. > :16:08.going on at Monza, let's get the latest news.

:16:09. > :16:14.The Mercedes battled for Spa has continued to make the headlines of

:16:15. > :16:17.the Grosjean Bonhomme V. Nico Rosberg apologised and Lewis

:16:18. > :16:23.Hamilton was happy -- since the Belgian Grand Prix. I am in a very

:16:24. > :16:30.happy place. After all of these years, the difficult times, I know

:16:31. > :16:34.how to move past things, I am excited about these seven races

:16:35. > :16:41.ahead, a lot of points. I feel good, fit, ready, I have a good car. I

:16:42. > :16:47.can't wait to go. How did the team handle things since far? Are you

:16:48. > :16:52.happy with that? -- handled things since Spa? Yes, we were called in on

:16:53. > :16:57.Friday and had a very difficult discussion. We came up with a

:16:58. > :17:02.solution. It is history. What is important is how we move forward.

:17:03. > :17:05.When we spoke after Spa, did not look like he felt the need to

:17:06. > :17:12.apologise for the incident, you has since apologised -- you felt. What

:17:13. > :17:18.changed? Time. I took some time. I looked at the situation, listened to

:17:19. > :17:21.everybody putts opinion. I came to the conclusion that it is up to me

:17:22. > :17:27.to take responsible at it for what happened -- everybody's opinion. We

:17:28. > :17:30.are the ambassadors and one of the biggest brands in the world,

:17:31. > :17:36.Mercedes-Benz. It is important how we shining light on that. The other

:17:37. > :17:39.driver to finish ahead of the two Mercedes drivers was Daniel

:17:40. > :17:44.Ricciardo. Belgium was his third race of the season and he is 35

:17:45. > :17:47.points behind Hamilton. If I keep winning, the gap will keep

:17:48. > :17:54.reducing. My aim is to still be there by Abu Dhabi, within 50

:17:55. > :17:57.points, knowing there could be a chance at a title. Fernando Alonso

:17:58. > :18:01.is the only driver to finish in the points in every race this season,

:18:02. > :18:06.that he knows this Italian Grand Prix will be his toughest yet in

:18:07. > :18:11.front of the fans. We would like to have more points than we have. But

:18:12. > :18:16.we still have a good record and we want to continue. In terms of

:18:17. > :18:20.Monza, we think back to last year and the fabulous selfie you took up

:18:21. > :18:24.on the podium with everyone underneath, will it be tougher than

:18:25. > :18:29.it has been in several years? Yeah, definitely. Five years at Ferrari,

:18:30. > :18:31.four times on the podium, this is definitely the toughest one. You

:18:32. > :18:39.never know. A lot of talk about Ferrari this

:18:40. > :18:46.weekend, there is the president of Ferrari coming in this morning. The

:18:47. > :18:52.rumours are, Eddie, that Luca will be retiring from Ferrari. He waits

:18:53. > :18:58.to the fans, as he always does. Lots of chat -- he waves. Is there any

:18:59. > :19:04.truth to this? I don't know, he would be a loss to Ferrari and motor

:19:05. > :19:07.in general. He made Italia 90, the World Cup, such an amazing success.

:19:08. > :19:08.in general. He made Italia 90, the He is a genius and organisational

:19:09. > :19:15.opportunities. He did that at He is a genius and organisational

:19:16. > :19:19.bringing Michael Schumacher here. He was responsible for Alonso, some of

:19:20. > :19:22.the great things in Italian sport. We saw him hugging Alonso, did not

:19:23. > :19:30.look like hello, slightly more emotional. Do you think that this

:19:31. > :19:33.could be "our last home race?" He is incredibly emotional, waving at it

:19:34. > :19:36.and stick graph -- empty grandstands. He has brought so much

:19:37. > :19:41.to the sport. Nothing lasts for ever. The key of a good leader is to

:19:42. > :19:44.know when to move on, succession plan. He is the president.

:19:45. > :19:48.know when to move on, succession has not had a great deal of

:19:49. > :19:51.success, part that has to be on his chin. We will wish to see what

:19:52. > :19:57.happens, and emotional hug but they talk a lot. He had an interview with

:19:58. > :20:02.Tom earlier. Seven races to go this season. This is the rest of the

:20:03. > :20:06.calendar. The final European race here and then Singapore, followed by

:20:07. > :20:10.Japan and then Formula One's first trip to Russia to the Winter

:20:11. > :20:17.Olympics venue of Sochi. Controversy still surrounding this event. And

:20:18. > :20:21.indeed the political debate will continue as to whether Formula One

:20:22. > :20:27.or indeed any sporting event should go to Russia at this time. However,

:20:28. > :20:31.as things stand, Formula One is going to Russia. DC went with four

:20:32. > :20:41.whilst champion -- four time world champion to check out the track.

:21:58. > :22:04.excitement coming to Russia, always just another Grand Prix? It should

:22:05. > :22:09.be a great event. -- or is it just. We have been here a year ago. Now

:22:10. > :22:12.everything is ready. This is a very interesting corner. This goes for

:22:13. > :22:20.ever. It is bloody quick, we are doing 150. It is off camber. Not a

:22:21. > :22:24.lot of run-off. I am nervous. Is this the sort of track that you

:22:25. > :22:28.think this is as fast as I can drive, I can get my teeth into it?

:22:29. > :22:32.Difficult to say with this kind of car. It is a bit like Korea, lots of

:22:33. > :22:38.corners after each other. Similar type of speed. Fairly quick. This is

:22:39. > :22:48.a very tricky corner. Breaking, left. Very, very tight, right. Wow.

:22:49. > :22:54.Exceeding track limits. You will get a reprimand. But Fernando is behind

:22:55. > :22:57.us, he won't complain. That has given us some great entertainment,

:22:58. > :23:01.this year. Not complaining about each other on the radio.

:23:02. > :23:13.It would be nice sometimes do have a chat, to shake hands and say "it was

:23:14. > :23:21.what it was". But for some reason, he doesn't really talk much to me.

:23:22. > :23:25.It is fun to race him. It is the new phenomenon in Formula One, Daniel

:23:26. > :23:29.Ricciardo. Let's talk about Daniel. It seems there is fresh air within

:23:30. > :23:34.the team, fair to say there was always a bit of tension there.

:23:35. > :23:41.Previously. What do you mean? He has done a great job. No doubt. I have

:23:42. > :23:46.been struggling with something we need to get on top of. But on his

:23:47. > :23:51.side, it is good for him. Honestly, it is good to see he is doing well.

:23:52. > :23:57.I am happy for him. I'm with you, right with you. Year.

:23:58. > :24:04.We just slow down for a moment... This track seems mighty. Yes, not

:24:05. > :24:11.bad. Very slippery, that is why we are sliding. It is tight, isn't it?

:24:12. > :24:19.This isn't manly panty Valencia. Not an awful lot of run. You need to get

:24:20. > :24:24.out there. Get your hands on the steering wheel and hope for the

:24:25. > :24:27.best. Do you think I could make my living from this? Yeah, I think so.

:24:28. > :24:35.Thanks for the advice. LAUGHTER Sebastian Vettel looking very

:24:36. > :24:40.comfortable on the new track, David, I am not sure you are a

:24:41. > :24:43.natural passenger, are you? Definitely not. Not a natural driver

:24:44. > :24:49.either, I was, double when I was steering. What did you think of the

:24:50. > :24:52.layout? Very fast opening section which will get the driver's

:24:53. > :24:59.attention, massive left-hander on Turn 3, off camber. It will take

:25:00. > :25:03.them to the limit. End of the lap, a bit more Mickey Mouse. This is at

:25:04. > :25:07.the opening stage, crossed the start-finish line, very fast.

:25:08. > :25:11.Approaching 200 miles an hour in this area, unusual for street

:25:12. > :25:15.circuits. Think of Singapore, Valencia, they are not very fast. I

:25:16. > :25:19.would position this is not quite Monte Carlo, but better than

:25:20. > :25:24.Valencia. We can expect some action. It is pretty fast at the beginning.

:25:25. > :25:27.As we get towards the end of the lap, we get into what you would

:25:28. > :25:30.class as a more classic street circuit, the sort of thing you would

:25:31. > :25:35.have raised on in Phoenix and places like that. 90 rights and maths. --

:25:36. > :25:43.you would have raced. Working a lot more that last section. - rights and

:25:44. > :25:46.lefts. Who will bat suit? Red Bull. -- who will matter sued?

:25:47. > :25:51.There is a quick section. It looked a bit like an updated Valencia,

:25:52. > :25:56.probably better and more structured. It will be a good

:25:57. > :26:02.circuit, I am pleased. It is a good addition. I like going to new

:26:03. > :26:07.places. This will be a wheelie great moment, it will be a great circuit.

:26:08. > :26:11.It was the brand spanking news circuit of Sochi and the old cycad

:26:12. > :26:17.of Monza has had a face-lift at the parabolic. Old circuit. Coming to

:26:18. > :26:22.parabolic, 205 mph, hit the brakes 50 metres from the corner, fourth

:26:23. > :26:29.gear, you are always right on the edge of oversteer. Into understeer

:26:30. > :26:33.and onto the throttle. Squeezing it on with total commitment. Your

:26:34. > :26:36.wheels just on this white line and on the left-hand side is grass and

:26:37. > :26:43.gravel. If you make a mistake then there was a big accident. However,

:26:44. > :26:47.with safety in mind they have pushed the gravel back in and put in this

:26:48. > :26:51.tarmac area, which has taken a lot of discussions over the last few

:26:52. > :26:55.days. Was it the right thing to do? The drivers, though, they are

:26:56. > :26:59.pushing harder. Jenson Button said he attacked into this corner with

:27:00. > :27:04.the knowledge that he has got get out of jail free card if it does not

:27:05. > :27:08.work. You could not do that before. What it has done, though, it has

:27:09. > :27:13.meant the drivers have also been thinking "how can we gain a bit of

:27:14. > :27:18.advantage? What can we do differently? Can we run our wheels

:27:19. > :27:22.over? Can we keep tight?". We have seen a few different lines, Daniel

:27:23. > :27:26.Ricciardo would drop a wheel over here and then he would cut back on

:27:27. > :27:30.the exit to try to straighten the wheel to maximise his acceleration

:27:31. > :27:35.down the long straight up to 215 mph. You would have Nico Rosberg as

:27:36. > :27:38.well who would just get two wheels over here and then run all the way

:27:39. > :27:44.round and over the curve on exit to match the car float. Kevin Magnussen

:27:45. > :27:48.was thinking of doing something different, he would drop two wheels

:27:49. > :27:53.perfectly onto this train. Then he would use it to help him accelerate

:27:54. > :27:58.-- onto this train. So he can get hard on the throttle earlier. For

:27:59. > :28:04.him, hopefully gain that one mile an hour that would help him towards the

:28:05. > :28:08.end of the straight. Has this taken some of the magic and mystique away

:28:09. > :28:12.from this fantastic circuit at Monza? No, it hasn't. This circuit

:28:13. > :28:20.has got much more than wonderful bit of safety tarmac area. But maybe it

:28:21. > :28:26.has taken a bit of the edge off Parabolica. Should we walked down

:28:27. > :28:30.here? It is very busy. Let's barge our way through, what do you think

:28:31. > :28:35.about Parabolica? Too much or was it necessary? It was not necessary but

:28:36. > :28:40.part of a number of things that this track has to do to satisfy Formula

:28:41. > :28:43.One. It does not change the challenge particularly of the

:28:44. > :28:46.profile of the corner, it means the drivers have in their mind that they

:28:47. > :28:49.can't afford to make a mistake and get away with it. You have a

:28:50. > :28:54.different mindset in Monaco. Make a mistake and hit the barrier. You

:28:55. > :29:00.will always drive to the conditions. Whether it is wet, dry, whatever.

:29:01. > :29:03.Nice little feature. It will not fundamentally change who wins or

:29:04. > :29:07.loses this Grand Prix. The drivers can go in there a bit harder? They

:29:08. > :29:13.can go harder. It is not a bad thing. If you look at the great

:29:14. > :29:19.circuits on our calendar, Silverstone, Sandoval at Monaco and

:29:20. > :29:22.last week. The Parabolica is one of those unbelievable corners. It

:29:23. > :29:26.catches the attention of every driver. A bit of change here and

:29:27. > :29:29.there, it doesn't matter one bit. If the excitement is still there.

:29:30. > :29:32.there, it doesn't matter one bit. If Excitement is still there at Monza

:29:33. > :29:35.is one of those circuits that tries to maintain some of the beautiful

:29:36. > :29:39.old sections, particularly the incredible banking. They had to

:29:40. > :29:43.resurface it, otherwise it would fall down. That is where David went

:29:44. > :29:49.to meet up with Nico Hulkenberg, who did well here lasted, qualified

:29:50. > :30:00.third and finished fifth. -- last year.

:30:01. > :30:05.We have brought you out to the old banking because there is so much

:30:06. > :30:08.history in Monza, very different to others, high-speed, but 84 years

:30:09. > :30:15.ago, this is what they were racing on. I have never been here,

:30:16. > :30:20.actually. It is quite special and good to be here. I think Monza is a

:30:21. > :30:36.very special place. It is not easy at! LAUGHTER

:30:37. > :30:43.-- it is not easy! . You are the high-risk rink driver ever for Force

:30:44. > :30:54.India. Are you ever scared of being lost in mid-grid. There is more to

:30:55. > :30:59.come, I think. There is with a learning process and I still feel

:31:00. > :31:06.I'm getting better and better. -- always a learning process. I'm just

:31:07. > :31:10.progressing, race by race. Hulkenberg has finished in fifth

:31:11. > :31:15.place, a major result. How much is it about the dream of getting a

:31:16. > :31:18.winning car? Force India, everyone is doing a great job, considering

:31:19. > :31:24.the resources we have and the budget. Other teams would struggle

:31:25. > :31:29.but history suggests that obviously, the interest must be there from

:31:30. > :31:31.whatever team it is. At the moment, I will have to wait for the

:31:32. > :31:38.opportunity and hopefully my time will come. Around this great track,

:31:39. > :31:41.Monza, you will be going at well over 200 mph, breaking, consistency,

:31:42. > :31:48.stability all those things. Any concerns or are you feeling good?

:31:49. > :31:54.I'm not saying we're going to win but we are feeling all right. All

:31:55. > :31:59.you young -- year-long, we have had a good car. We are just going to

:32:00. > :32:03.have to convert it now. Thank you for your time. We know you are busy.

:32:04. > :32:08.I trust you so much, I'm going to have you hold me at the top of the

:32:09. > :32:11.banking while I freestyle. You're going to pull me down. Have a great

:32:12. > :32:12.weekend. You go down and going to pull me down. Have a great

:32:13. > :32:23.catch me at the bottom. going to pull me down. Have a great

:32:24. > :32:34.you could. Play it cool. Play it cool, no problem. Nice bit of

:32:35. > :32:38.styling it out, David. That is the car of Nico Hulkenberg, who we have

:32:39. > :32:41.talked about a lot over the last few years. He says he's got a lot to

:32:42. > :32:48.give but where is he going to give it? Hopefully for the team, Force

:32:49. > :32:51.India, it will be with them. He is top of the list at Ferrari but that

:32:52. > :32:56.depends on what Raikkonen is going to do. We know Alonso is going to

:32:57. > :33:01.stay and my Canon has a contract. Really, I think Hulkenberg will do

:33:02. > :33:04.another year. And then see what happens. Intriguing times for him

:33:05. > :33:10.because I think he is one of the people who could absolutely come and

:33:11. > :33:16.be crowned world champion. It is a kind of domino effect, and we know

:33:17. > :33:19.that after Fernando Alonso, you don't think he is going to leave

:33:20. > :33:23.Ferrari just yet and we will be having this conversation next year

:33:24. > :33:28.and Christian also think that none of the top drivers will move. Do you

:33:29. > :33:31.buy into that theory as well? If you imagine it, it can happen in Formula

:33:32. > :33:36.One but it's not just about next year. This is about understanding

:33:37. > :33:38.performance related issues and the drivers that need release options

:33:39. > :33:44.going forward. I'm sure Eddie would have done this. I was already signed

:33:45. > :33:48.to McLaren while I was racing at Williams. I knew that I would be

:33:49. > :33:52.joining them two years before I did. Teams by options on drivers. They

:33:53. > :33:56.have the right of first refusal on things. But they have to be

:33:57. > :34:06.negotiated. That is why McLaren are holding back. Where does that leave

:34:07. > :34:09.Jenson Button. The biggest thing in his favour, there's only one team he

:34:10. > :34:13.can continue with, McLaren, and I think the big advantage he has got

:34:14. > :34:19.is the emergence or the start of the relationship with Honda, he has had

:34:20. > :34:22.a good relationship with them, as have McLaren, and they will look for

:34:23. > :34:26.somebody of the calibre of a world champion, somebody who is calm and

:34:27. > :34:29.cool, to bring them through the difficult early part of the season

:34:30. > :34:33.and the ever them. That is what I think is his biggest asset, to hope

:34:34. > :34:41.that Honda will back him to stay there. Take a look at these chaotic

:34:42. > :34:45.scenes outside Ferrari, that is Luca di Montezemolo, the Ferrari

:34:46. > :34:48.president, giving a press conference, and it is absolute

:34:49. > :34:52.madness. We will let you know if he says anything important. For now,

:34:53. > :34:54.Williams have been looking to refit this weekend and they are lying

:34:55. > :34:59.fourth in the Constructors' Championship. -- looking terrific.

:35:00. > :35:03.Valtteri Bottas is lying fifth and as Tom find out -- found out, he

:35:04. > :35:28.likes to hit his target. Pull. The beginning of last year, I

:35:29. > :35:32.tried for the first time and got hooked immediately. It is religious

:35:33. > :35:40.in. Also, useful for a driver, hand eye coordination, and for the

:35:41. > :35:42.reactions. You feel the rear end of the car starting to slide, how much

:35:43. > :35:53.do you need to correct? It just comes naturally. You need to go a

:35:54. > :35:57.lot with just your instinct. He's very good. The first time he went

:35:58. > :36:05.with no lessons, picked up the gun, and he was already better than me.

:36:06. > :36:12.And I have been doing it for years. The driver and race engineer

:36:13. > :36:18.relationship is really important. You both have to know exactly what

:36:19. > :36:22.you are speaking about, and any message, I tell him or he tells me

:36:23. > :36:26.in the race, we understand each other immediately. To be a good race

:36:27. > :36:29.engineer, you need your driver to have trust in you, and vice versa.

:36:30. > :36:37.You need to speak the same language. These kind of hobbies

:36:38. > :36:40.together have really helpful when he's on the track. RADIO: It feels

:36:50. > :36:53.love a bit of competition. What we would like you to do first is to

:36:54. > :36:55.fire ten plays over you, to see what your strike rate is when you are

:36:56. > :37:01.100% focused on what is going on. OK? OK.

:37:02. > :37:18.DANCE MUSIC good shooting. Not good enough. Good

:37:19. > :37:21.anyway. What we thought we would do now is to ten more but Jonathan is

:37:22. > :37:27.going to give you a few instructions whilst firing at these targets, and

:37:28. > :37:35.after you have shopped all ten, we want you to tell us what he has been

:37:36. > :37:44.telling you. OK, interesting. Radio check? Copy that. You are going to

:37:45. > :37:47.issue the instruction when? As soon as I see the clay, that is when I

:37:48. > :37:54.will issue the instruction so we are talking through the clays, the hand

:38:21. > :38:36.Guatemala City. Peter Margarita with extra cheese. How did you get on?

:38:37. > :38:40.About 50% -- about 50%? There was a weird stuff. How much can you

:38:41. > :38:47.remember. The first one was break forward. After that, it was

:38:48. > :38:55.something about Guatemala City. Anything in between? How many laps?

:38:56. > :38:59.It was not a race. Once again, Valtteri Bottas shows what he can do

:39:00. > :39:04.among the best in the world. Did you really believe that you were going

:39:05. > :39:08.to be challenging the likes of the top this year? We could not dream

:39:09. > :39:11.this would happen. We thought we would make steps and we knew we

:39:12. > :39:18.would have a strong engine. But to go from there, to battling at the

:39:19. > :39:26.front, and podium finishes as well, it was a dream, really. COMMENTATOR:

:39:37. > :39:41.ready to take the mantle from him and have the hopes of a nation on

:39:42. > :39:46.your shoulders? Why not? I would not mind. Has he given you any advice

:39:47. > :39:58.about your Formula One career? Not really. You always want to win. We

:39:59. > :40:01.are always aiming for that. It could be really difficult. It could be

:40:02. > :40:09.impossible this year but we need to keep trying.

:40:10. > :40:17.Live pictures now Valtteri Bottas, and unassuming superstar, Eddie.

:40:18. > :40:22.That piece really showed him, just how he is, a bit of fun but very

:40:23. > :40:27.focused, and very interesting to watch in concentrating, there. I

:40:28. > :40:30.think that is more or less what most of the drivers are like. They are

:40:31. > :40:34.very serious when they need to be but he stands out. A lot of people

:40:35. > :40:38.called into question the wisdom of Williams when they decided to get

:40:39. > :40:42.rid of Pastor Maldonado, who had just one in Barcelona. They got

:40:43. > :40:45.rid of Pastor Maldonado, who had of him in favour of this boy but it

:40:46. > :40:49.was the right decision. In my opinion, he's a world champion

:40:50. > :40:52.waiting to happen. He could do it at Williams. They have been the

:40:53. > :40:57.revelation this year. He's on the right place at the right time, and

:40:58. > :41:01.he feels happy and comfortable. He did a year racing with Maldonado

:41:02. > :41:03.larcenies. A big thank you to Richard, our gold medal winning

:41:04. > :41:07.Olympian Richard, our gold medal winning

:41:08. > :41:10.when he says it is a good shot, it is a good shot. What I thought was

:41:11. > :41:12.interesting was that Valtteri Bottas could remember the messages about

:41:13. > :41:17.cars but not the stuff about the pizza and the other rubbish. He

:41:18. > :41:23.blocked it out. It shows how a driver uses his brain. Yes, and in

:41:24. > :41:25.the heat of the moment, these guys are operating in a very tough

:41:26. > :41:29.environment on the track with all the speed and everything going on

:41:30. > :41:33.around them, and they can identify the things which are important to

:41:34. > :41:36.their success on the track and disregard all the peripheral stuff.

:41:37. > :41:41.He is no different. When he is doing so good at shooting, the last really

:41:42. > :41:46.top man was Jackie Stewart so if you can follow Jackie, three times world

:41:47. > :41:49.champion, he is right there. That relationship between the driver and

:41:50. > :41:53.the race engineer is so vital and they clearly have a fantastic Bond.

:41:54. > :41:59.Bond is absolutely the right expression. They must be friends.

:42:00. > :42:03.They speak in the evening, when everything is calm and quiet, crazy

:42:04. > :42:05.phone calls, and they will be working, working as one. That is

:42:06. > :42:09.what needs to happen. Total and working, working as one. That is

:42:10. > :42:12.absolute belief that the information he is being given is accurate and

:42:13. > :42:16.precise and is going to be successful. They have been looking

:42:17. > :42:23.very good in a race setting. Really, after Mercedes, Red Bull, and Jenson

:42:24. > :42:28.button as well coming into the mix, Williams, they all look very close

:42:29. > :42:33.with Ferrari. I'm absolutely -- I'm absolutely sure that given

:42:34. > :42:34.with Ferrari. I'm absolutely -- I'm run, the Williams cars will line up

:42:35. > :42:37.with Ferrari. I'm absolutely -- I'm at the front. They are good and

:42:38. > :42:41.strong and this is the perfect circuit

:42:42. > :42:43.strong and this is the perfect they have a top engine and two very

:42:44. > :42:48.strong and this is the perfect good drivers. Let's see what

:42:49. > :42:50.happens. Let's go to Lee, who was listening to the Ferrari press

:42:51. > :42:56.conference with Luca di Montezemolo. Could you decipher what is going on?

:42:57. > :42:59.What did he say? There were about 80 cameras but I heard what he was

:43:00. > :43:02.saying. A lot of rumours and spec elation that Luca di Montezemolo

:43:03. > :43:06.might turn up to stay here stepping down from the top job at Ferrari but

:43:07. > :43:08.that is not true, you said. He said when he makes that decision, he will

:43:09. > :43:12.be the first to tell us. when he makes that decision, he will

:43:13. > :43:16.interesting thoughts, saying that the fans must be put first. He

:43:17. > :43:22.enjoys this type of Formula One that we have. He was not sure that he

:43:23. > :43:24.would but says he enjoys it, but we must have a spectacle and there must

:43:25. > :43:27.also be must have a spectacle and there must

:43:28. > :43:31.to him. He says he has never seen a sport that from weekend, nothing

:43:32. > :43:34.happens in between. That is not good for the fans, for the sponsors

:43:35. > :43:39.awfully young drivers who are trying break into Formula One. -- all for

:43:40. > :43:42.the young drivers. We will let you know if he comes back to same thing

:43:43. > :43:46.else but essentially, Luca di Montezemolo is it to stay.

:43:47. > :43:50.else but essentially, Luca di anything else. Always the rumours in

:43:51. > :43:53.Italy and yet the Italian journalist yesterday felt he would retire from

:43:54. > :43:57.Ferrari but maybe not make the announcement until later in the year

:43:58. > :44:01.and would announce some of the business before he left but we will

:44:02. > :44:04.wait to see. This is the Ferrari garage, the scenes at the moment.

:44:05. > :44:10.They look like they could have a decent qualifying today. Ferrari

:44:11. > :44:15.traditionally, as we saw and we will see more clips of the fantastic

:44:16. > :44:19.pictures of Alonso, here, with the tifosi, he is in touch with them,

:44:20. > :44:24.and he has their spirit in his mind. It is over a positive for him.

:44:25. > :44:28.I think Ferrari will be strong or so. Lewis Hamilton, a single front

:44:29. > :44:31.row start in the last five and he needs to put something together

:44:32. > :44:36.today to give him the best chance. A really good start, being on the

:44:37. > :44:40.front row is vital. He will be on the front row, I've no doubt. He had

:44:41. > :44:50.a little problem yesterday but it is overcome now. I think he will be on

:44:51. > :44:53.pole. Strong words from Eddie Jordan. He's fighting form, they

:44:54. > :44:56.have got rid of their troubles and he is there. Now it is time for

:44:57. > :44:58.qualifying for Monza. Lee and Tom in the pit lane and David and then in

:44:59. > :45:18.the commentary box. Here comes Q1. Home of the Italian Grand Prix,

:45:19. > :45:22.every year from one since 1950, Monza is the fastest track on the

:45:23. > :45:27.calendar and one of the most atmospheric. Qualifying for Round 13

:45:28. > :45:29.of what is becoming a classic championship context takes place in

:45:30. > :45:35.northern Italy at the Royal Park Monza. Just ten miles north-east of

:45:36. > :45:40.Milan. We are on a layout that is little changed since 1976 when all

:45:41. > :45:45.three chicane Bru were first used. Speeds of over 200 miles an hour --

:45:46. > :45:49.chicanes. Recorded four times per lap. On Twitter by heavy braking

:45:50. > :45:54.zones and momentum something corners such as the two right handers, the

:45:55. > :45:57.Curva di Lesmo and Parabolica. Pole position has led to race victory in

:45:58. > :46:02.each of the last four years, nine of the last 11 races here have been won

:46:03. > :46:06.from the top spot on the grid. Today's session is crucial, Lewis

:46:07. > :46:09.Hamilton trails Nico Rosberg by 29 points, coming into this race and

:46:10. > :46:15.hasn't qualified his team-mate in seven events. Can he regain the

:46:16. > :46:20.initiative today? -- outqualified. This is the old track, they will not

:46:21. > :46:24.run on the steep banks of Monza, but they will still run on the

:46:25. > :46:28.high-speed sections. This long start finish straight that leads to the

:46:29. > :46:34.first chicane. We will see speeds of 220 mph. Narrow and visually

:46:35. > :46:37.narrower as you go down towards the first corner. They have got to pick

:46:38. > :46:42.their breaking spot with immense accuracy going. Into that section

:46:43. > :46:46.current track conditions good -- going into that section. Temperature

:46:47. > :46:51.is a pleasant 25 degrees. Everything is building up nicely. Nico Rosberg

:46:52. > :46:55.did not have a good start this morning, he did not get a timed lap

:46:56. > :47:00.in but Lewis Hamilton was fastest. It is to Lewis Hamilton's advantage

:47:01. > :47:03.what we have seen so far. Interesting to see how the

:47:04. > :47:07.reliability issues have played out for Mercedes in the free practice

:47:08. > :47:14.sessions. Lewis has been somewhat more unlucky in the sessions that

:47:15. > :47:18.count. Nico was there, analysing every week lap. Leading the time

:47:19. > :47:23.sheets. He seemed comfortable to attack the braking zones.

:47:24. > :47:27.It gives Lewis an advantage, knowing where the race track is on Saturday

:47:28. > :47:33.morning as we go towards the qualifying session. Garage.

:47:34. > :47:43.Involved with the Ferrari boss. We wonder how much longer he will be in

:47:44. > :47:47.charge for. Looking at the champ in Schippers, Kimi Raikkonen in 10th.

:47:48. > :47:54.Ferrari have been looking better -- Championships. Bottas was third.

:47:55. > :48:01.Felipe Massa fourth for Williams. He was third fastest yesterday. Montoya

:48:02. > :48:04.is here, making a rare visit from racing in the United States. The

:48:05. > :48:08.last man to either win a race or take pole position for Williams

:48:09. > :48:11.about this circuit. He has got himself back in shape, racing in

:48:12. > :48:16.singles heats, he piled on the pounds when he was doing Nascar

:48:17. > :48:20.racing for a few years. Back behind the wheel of a single seat and

:48:21. > :48:24.winning races. Lewis Hamilton getting ready for qualifying, his

:48:25. > :48:27.father Anthony just giving him a final few words before he gets in

:48:28. > :48:32.the car. Sergio Perez had a problem with his car this morning. It looks

:48:33. > :48:36.to be in good shape now. Ready to start this session. The normal

:48:37. > :48:42.format will see all of the cars out in the first part of qualifying. We

:48:43. > :48:46.will lose some of them, six cars. The second part of qualifying will

:48:47. > :48:49.come after. We have seen just how close the times are, Hamilton had a

:48:50. > :48:55.bit of an edge over most of the others. But behind him Alonso in

:48:56. > :48:59.second place, there was one second covering 2nd-11th position in

:49:00. > :49:05.practice this morning. This classic view through the trees of Monza,

:49:06. > :49:08.where speed is everything. You want to carry every kilometre an hour you

:49:09. > :49:14.can, every mile an hour you can offer the exit of these terms. The

:49:15. > :49:18.straights are so long -- these turns. You have a lap belt, which is

:49:19. > :49:22.laid on the steering wheel, on the cockpit of the chassis. That delta

:49:23. > :49:26.will tell you every few metres, whether you are faster or slower

:49:27. > :49:29.than the previous lap. Counting to the half ten, you can see the

:49:30. > :49:33.benefit as you reflect on the previous corner and go down the next

:49:34. > :49:38.straight. Do I take a risk in the braking zone at the next corner? At

:49:39. > :49:43.ten, do I risk adding another ten. If I make a mistake I will drop two.

:49:44. > :49:46.It is an interesting mental battle, so much time to reflect on what you

:49:47. > :49:51.are doing. Something like Monte Carlo, they are coming at you thick

:49:52. > :49:54.and fast, the corners, you are instinctively reacting to corner,

:49:55. > :49:58.corner, corner. You have time to look around at the trees and enjoy

:49:59. > :50:02.the Italian summer here. It is a lovely day as we mentioned, that

:50:03. > :50:04.temperatures. Tom is in the pit lane, you are not having to protect

:50:05. > :50:12.yourself from the southern rain that we saw at Spa last time -- sudden

:50:13. > :50:16.rain. Zero chance of rain, beautiful blue skies. The couple of things to

:50:17. > :50:21.give you as Q1 gets underway. Drama at Lotus in the last ten minutes.

:50:22. > :50:24.They have found a fluid leak on Romain Grosjean's are, they are

:50:25. > :50:29.rectifying it and putting the car back together but busy scenes. With

:50:30. > :50:32.regards to cut off times, it took to the engineers prior to this session

:50:33. > :50:41.to work out what we need to do to get into Q2. 127 is going to be the

:50:42. > :50:47.cut-off. Thank you very much. 127.4. We will keep an eye on that time. It

:50:48. > :50:49.was for 14th place but you always see a bit of improvement in

:50:50. > :50:54.performance as we go into qualifying. That is the mark to see

:50:55. > :50:58.whether they get to that point. What I am curious to see is just whether

:50:59. > :51:05.the time that was said by Mercedes this morning was a time that was on

:51:06. > :51:09.low fuel. Whether they were carrying a few extra kilos, having confidence

:51:10. > :51:13.that the drivers will deliver. It is giving the Ferrari fans some reason

:51:14. > :51:17.to be optimistic. Alonso was not far behind this morning.

:51:18. > :51:20.to be optimistic. Alonso was not far cars going out would they work

:51:21. > :51:24.together? We have seen Ferrari do that at Monza, they try to tow it

:51:25. > :51:26.other around, make a hole in the air that the other can take advantage.

:51:27. > :51:31.Alonso did it last year and he complained on the radio that the

:51:32. > :51:37.team got it all wrong. It looks like Morrissey might try to do that? --

:51:38. > :51:43.Morrissey. It has been the subject of debate this weekend. I did it at

:51:44. > :51:47.McLaren in my career. It did not always work, trying to get the

:51:48. > :51:51.timing right, acceleration points, so the driver gets a slingshot takes

:51:52. > :51:55.two team-mates accepting you will give away, one of your own laps for

:51:56. > :52:00.your team to give a slingshot. In order that he will do the same. If

:52:01. > :52:06.it links up, you gain time. You move faster. Punching a hole in the air.

:52:07. > :52:12.In the slipstream. It allows the car to accelerate more. Both Marussia's

:52:13. > :52:16.cars have gone back in, they will not do it for the moment, we will

:52:17. > :52:22.try to see it they do it later. , B Kobayashi is back at catering, we

:52:23. > :52:25.had a 1 off at Spa. But the regular Japanese driver who has been in the

:52:26. > :52:33.seat throughout the season in this map of event is now back for this

:52:34. > :52:36.weekend. -- lap event. RADIO: The first one will be an accommodation

:52:37. > :52:42.lap, we will get the breaks up to temperature and the tyres up.

:52:43. > :52:45.Planning, for Lewis Hamilton. As he tries to repeat that performance he

:52:46. > :52:48.put in this morning. Interesting, accommodation lap, not a word I

:52:49. > :52:53.would ever think of using as a warm up lap. This

:52:54. > :52:57.would ever think of using as a warm you. Why use a small word that gets

:52:58. > :53:01.to the point when you can use a big work that confuses everyone? So many

:53:02. > :53:02.new words, these new hybrid cars, completely different language

:53:03. > :53:06.developing between engineers and drivers. Some

:53:07. > :53:11.nonsense. LAUGHTER Kobayashi is out of Parabolica.

:53:12. > :53:14.nonsense. LAUGHTER revised run off. If you put a wheel

:53:15. > :53:19.over the edge, he doesn't put a wheel into the gravel. Some people

:53:20. > :53:24.not happy. His first flying lap is 1.28.2. Kobayashi goes to the top of

:53:25. > :53:29.the time sheet, but he is the only one so far, how does that compare

:53:30. > :53:35.with this morning? Exactly the same. Showing very consistent. He is happy

:53:36. > :53:39.to be back in the car. Very little notice he was going to be racing

:53:40. > :53:44.this weekend. It was the last moment. He was back in the car. They

:53:45. > :53:45.had a youngster in the car for Friday morning. There was

:53:46. > :53:49.had a youngster in the car for would do the race but he did not

:53:50. > :53:53.have the super-licence required. Roberto is someone I know from my

:53:54. > :53:57.brief spell in DTM. A very talented and naturally quick, get wild.

:53:58. > :54:02.brief spell in DTM. A very talented will naturally calm down as he gains

:54:03. > :54:07.more experience. A lot of activity around Romain Grosjean. He is ready

:54:08. > :54:09.more experience. A lot of activity to go. That looks like it is a good

:54:10. > :54:11.5-10 minutes away to go. That looks like it is a good

:54:12. > :54:13.have they to go. That looks like it is a good

:54:14. > :54:16.mentioned there was a fluid leak. to go. That looks like it is a good

:54:17. > :54:20.They are still trying to sort it out. John Eric

:54:21. > :54:22.They are still trying to sort it quickly. Toro Rosso, like Red Bull,

:54:23. > :54:28.with a Renault power unit, they have gone for a low drag set up --

:54:29. > :54:30.Jean-Eric Vergne. Removing some of the elements around the front wing.

:54:31. > :54:35.They have been going the elements around the front wing.

:54:36. > :54:38.straight line. Vergne goes fastest. We have always played around with

:54:39. > :54:43.it, the trade-off. In places like this. Attract like Silverstone was a

:54:44. > :54:49.circuit in the past that you could almost do the same lap time with low

:54:50. > :54:54.downforce as high downforce. You could break more deep into the

:54:55. > :54:57.corner, later, gaining lap time. But you lose a lot of acceleration down

:54:58. > :55:00.the next straight. Monza is a circuit that if you have the

:55:01. > :55:04.horsepower, you will always take the downforce. Mercedes engined cars are

:55:05. > :55:10.going to have a bit more blockage in the wind. That will generate more

:55:11. > :55:15.load, which will give the, stability but Renault powered cars have to go

:55:16. > :55:20.slippy. The rear wing has backed off as much as they can achieve. You can

:55:21. > :55:25.see Alonso sliding on power, as it comes through Parabolica. That was

:55:26. > :55:29.lovely, not scrubbing off too much speed, on the limit. A good lap. He

:55:30. > :55:36.goes fastest. Still on the hard compound tyre. If we think of the

:55:37. > 0:48:42cut-off being around 1.27.4, he should become double but Rosberg

0:48:43 > 0:48:42goes faster need also on the hard tyre. 1.25.8. Only three tenths away

0:48:43 > 0:48:42from Hamilton this morning. He benefited from slipstream from the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Morrissey in front. The drivers will look to form a that they know they

0:48:43 > 0:48:42are quicker than. -- form a car. A new graphic showing the corner timer

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Parabolica. 3.8 seconds but let's see his overall lap time. Almost the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42same as he did in morning practice. Slower than he achieved this

0:48:43 > 0:48:42morning. It answers the question they were running the fuel level

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they thought was necessary this morning to allow the driver to warm

0:48:43 > 0:48:42up. Popping into second. A good performance from Williams. Bottas

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has looks like he has had the upper hand on Massa this weekend. Keep a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42lookout for Bottas, could he do enough? Claire Williams surveying

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the team. Patrick head in the background, a great base. As he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tries to concentrate on the monitors. -- a great face. A legend

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Formula One, designed Grand Prix cars, world champion ship running

0:48:43 > 0:48:42cars in the past. With Williams. But not in such an act of capacity. On

0:48:43 > 0:48:42board with Kimi Raikkonen, dragging more yesterday in Friday afternoon

0:48:43 > 0:48:42practice. He has a bit more traffic up ahead -- practising more. As he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42comes up through this very fast chicane. Variante Ascari. Not going

0:48:43 > 0:48:42well. Traffic ahead of him. One of the sour because getting out of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42way. It looks like he would try to get a slipstream locked up in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42way to Parabolica. Not a tidy lap at all that he will look to open his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42lap with the slipstream. 210 slower than Hamilton to the parabolic

0:48:43 > 0:48:42return. Ninth fastest so far but he will back off. They have short

0:48:43 > 0:48:42breaking areas. They do not get full recharge on the hybrid system over

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the course of one lap. They have to do an energy recovery lap. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:42durability of the tyres we are seeing here is giving them the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42confidence to do that. Giving them a chance to give the batteries charged

0:48:43 > 0:48:42bullied at my get the batteries. That is easy to do when you're

0:48:43 > 0:48:42breaking down from under 220 miles an hour -- a chance to get the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42batteries charged fully. They will reduce the pressure on the brake

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pedal. Conflicting in your mind, you are trying to get the wheel

0:48:43 > 0:48:42rotating. The minute you release the pressure, the car will not slow

0:48:43 > 0:48:42down. You run the risk of missing the apex. Kevin Magnussen former

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tyrant, struggled a bit this morning on 11th fastest. Button was in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42top ten. He is using a harder compound tyre. Most of the top teams

0:48:43 > 0:48:42hoping to get three. -- Kevin Magnussen for McLaren. -- hoping to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42get through. No difference very much. Let's see what Bottas does as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he crosses the line, he goes for. Slots in behind the Mercedes of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg -- goes in fourth position. Felipe Massa on a good lap and Lewis

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton looking to further improve on what he has done so far. It

0:48:43 > 0:48:42highlights the fact that tyres are showing good durability. They get

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the chance to take the shine off. Wind up the card to full speed.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Charge the battery to its maximum. Deploy that on the lap. Hamilton

0:48:43 > 0:48:42looking to improve on this map. Slower in the last sector -- is lap.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Lost some time. Massa able to do, as he comes through Parabolica. Both

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Red Bulls have gone through, eighth and ninth for Vettel and Ricardo,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not great pace. Massa goes fastest. -- Ricciardo. The leader Massa is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the only driver this year to have taken pole position away from

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes. He took pole position in Austria early on this season. Early

0:48:43 > 0:48:42days in this qualifying session. That is a very promising performers

0:48:43 > 0:48:42from the Brazilian. We are looking at Bottas, followed by Fernando

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Alonso. On a lap slightly better in his first sector. Hasn't made any

0:48:43 > 0:48:42thing in the middle sector. He is sixth. Bottas gets well out of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42way not only to make sure he doesn't block Alonso, he does not want to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42give him slipstream. He pulled over to the left-hand side. Alonso has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42got to punch a hole in the air on his own using as much of the circuit

0:48:43 > 0:48:42as they are allowed on the exit of Parabolica.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42With that lap, no improvement, he stays sick but we have to focus on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the top 16 now. RADIO: That was a pretty shocking lap. Hamilton not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42happy with his performance. It did not improve on that last lap.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg improves, goes fastest, 1:25 .493. He gains a little bit ahead of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Felipe Massa. Jules Bianchi is currently in the drop zone in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Marussia, as is Adrian Sutil. Max Chilton in the other Marussia, both

0:48:43 > 0:48:42caters and the other one has not set a time because they are still trying

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to fix the car but it looks as though Romain Grosjean will be out

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of the garage soon. He is the other one who has not yet set a time to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42see him into the top 16. Speed track figures coming up on screen. At the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42moment, Rosberg topping it -- speed trap. Just over

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes in the top four at this stage and Renault fifth with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Jean-Eric Vergne. You can see how small the margins are, with the DRS

0:48:43 > 0:48:42flap opens for Sebastian Vettel. They have got the minimum amount of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42drag on the car. Christian Horner commented... He made a mistake, ran

0:48:43 > 0:48:42onto the kerb. Christian Horner says they compromised a bit of speed, as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he comes out of the rundown to Parabolica. Good overhead shots as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he comes down into the corner that has been a bigger area of tarmac at

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the bottom of the picture. RADIO: Is the time good enough? You are in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pole position at the moment, and well inside the cut-off. Years safe,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42through to the next part of qualifying. Sebastian Vettel, no

0:48:43 > 0:48:42change on that lap, only eighth, and Daniel Ricciardo is tense, Raikkonen

0:48:43 > 0:48:42in the top ten but in the danger zone. Pastor Maldonado only 16 at

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the moment. I think Lotus will struggle. Is this a better lap from

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton? Yes, and he goes fastest, 1:20 5.3, one tenth faster than Nico

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg has set. It is going to be that close. Interesting to see how

0:48:43 > 0:48:42many laps worth of fuel they are running with the knowledge that they

0:48:43 > 0:48:42need to try to get their tyres optimised, recharge into the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42batteries perfect, and get the clear lap. Romain Grosjean is being sent

0:48:43 > 0:48:42on his way. Tom, interesting to see they have put it straight out onto

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the softer tyres. No real surprise because they need a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the softer tyres. No real surprise straight away. They have struggled a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42lot this weekend with the performance, have not got the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42straight-line speed. In practice this morning, you was 19th fastest,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42slower than Pastor Maldonado. -- he was. It will be a big ask for him to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42get to Q2. Interesting stat, showing the best combined times, he is three

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tenths faster. RADIO: I did not get the perfect lap. It was within one

0:48:43 > 0:48:42or two tenths. We did not get the radio identity before Sebastian

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Vettel started talking but he was giving the team some feedback. For a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42half minutes to go and Nico Hulkenberg, currently down in 13th,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and as ever, the two Force India cars quite evenly matched, host --

0:48:43 > 0:48:42both of their 1.5 seconds off the pace that has been set by the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes of Hamilton and Rosberg. But Nico Hulkenberg qualified well

0:48:43 > 0:48:42last year for Sauber so we know he can deliver a fast lap. That

0:48:43 > 0:48:42feedback from Sebastian can deliver a fast lap. That

0:48:43 > 0:48:42suggest he thinks he is still a couple of tenths away from the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42perfect lap but it suggests he is in the hunt with maybe McLaren for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42where they are going to line up, keeping Jenson Button company in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fifth place and Kevin Magnussen right behind them, like the like of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42lap time almost. Door buster it, coming into the first chicane. This

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is all about rolling the speed, nice and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is all about rolling the speed, nice straight in for best acceleration

0:48:43 > 0:48:42through the curve a grand day, straight in for best acceleration

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the challenging corner, flat out, trying not to stop at all. Then you

0:48:43 > 0:48:42start to lose sight a bit with the shadows of the trees, picking

0:48:43 > 0:48:42start to lose sight a bit with the breaking point, try to use as much

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of the kerb and the car had understeer as he went into the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42left-hander, and he drifted nicely, but again, a bit too wide.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42left-hander, and he drifted nicely, to be hooked into the kerb so that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will compromise in by about a 10th. You can see the understeer in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Force India, not getting the car turned, which means he misses the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42apex every time. When you do that, you are slow to pull power. That

0:48:43 > 0:48:42means that all the straits take longer to get down. Turning early

0:48:43 > 0:48:42into the chicane, and short shifts in the middle, not a problem to have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42understeer on the exit but he will have built up the knowledge, as he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42comes towards Parabolica, a faster caller so you can inspect the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42downforce to support the front end. caller so you can inspect the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42He does not miss the apex by much but it does

0:48:43 > 0:48:42He does not miss the apex by much attacking lap either. Let's see

0:48:43 > 0:48:42where Nico Hulkenberg put it together, currently 13th. He moves

0:48:43 > 0:48:42up to ninth, a good improvement in performance. He should be safe with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that but as you say, the car was not really giving him the messages he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42would have liked. The Tierra is currently 15th, still in danger, but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not in the drop zone yet. Romain Grosjean is yet to clock a lap. A

0:48:43 > 0:48:42good lap by Jean-Eric Vergne. Quite a few of the Q1 sessions this year

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he has done well, topped a couple of them. He moves up to fifth, as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Adrian Sutil is 16th but only just say. Maldonado still in 17th. Let's

0:48:43 > 0:48:42see what Romain Grosjean does. Oh, dear, that is disappointing at his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42first attempt, only 19th, not as quick as Jules Bianchi in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Marussia. We did not see the lap so let's give him the benefit of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42doubt. Maybe a cat was crossing the circuit or something! Let's see what

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he can wind it up into because he will only get another lap. Maldonado

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is on a flying lap but already half a second down on where he needs to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42be. Lotus are in dire trouble with their performance of the car. A

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seasoned observer out on track yesterday said he had never seen a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42car look so bad on the track. They are really struggling. They are not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42over winter but it does not seem to allow them to get right up there in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the straight-line speed trap. The overall package, even with the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42skinny rear wing, is generating too much drag. Not enough and Maldonado

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is still in the drop zone by half a second, not even close in terms of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Monza qualifying. That is a massive gap, half a second, and it does not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42look as though Grosjean will do any better. He is probably doing a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42recovery lap at the moment to get fully charged for the next lap, and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he will have one more chance. RADIO: For the final timed lap, trying to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42get in front Bianchi. I don't think Bianchi will help him that much

0:48:43 > 0:48:42because he is one of the main rivals at this point. He got out of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42way, didn't he? That was a slightly awkward place to get out of the way.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42You never really want to do that into a braking zone, pulling over

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and allowing a driver the inside. Will Grosjean complain about that?

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Is there a case for saying he should not have moved about of way? That

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was Daniel caveat in the Toro Rosso, that had an issue with it. --

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Daniel is excessively from the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42chicane. From that distance, you will pick up a small slipstream, and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that is the Marussia ahead of him, as they come down approaching the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42second chicane. Let's see if we get the first sector times. 28.1. Still

0:48:43 > 0:48:42outside the opportunity to progress. Not in a happy place at all with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that car. It is really not good. RADIO: Do not changed it any more,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pastel. We may have a problem with the car. -- do not change gear any

0:48:43 > 0:48:42more. It sounds like he has some kind of failure. Hulkenberg has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42improved with ninth place on the last lap but it does not make much

0:48:43 > 0:48:42difference because he's all ready through. Maldonado is definitely out

0:48:43 > 0:48:42as he has seen the chequered flag and he is not in the top 16. It

0:48:43 > 0:48:42looks as though we will lose both Lotus cars, good work by Jules

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Bianchi to split them but it is a question over whether Grosjean has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42done enough to go ahead of the Marussia. Kobayashi has gone quicker

0:48:43 > 0:48:42than Max Chilton but they are all rushing out on their final lap. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is slower in the middle section than his previous lap, Grosjean, sauna C

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has done something spectacular through Parabolica, this will not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42improve. Well, marginally, the 10th quicker. Bianchi has come in and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42cannot further improved but he has just been pipped. For the Lotus

0:48:43 > 0:48:42management, this is not looking good. Both cars out in Q1. Let's see

0:48:43 > 0:48:42if there are any changes. Kobayashi has grabbed the initiative over

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Marussia, right at the last-gasp, there, and has gone 19th, which

0:48:43 > 0:48:42means that cater still retain their record of always out-qualifying

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Marussia at Monza. -- Caterham. We have not seen them ahead of them

0:48:43 > 0:48:42very much in recent events. That was a team effort because Eriksson was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42just ahead of him and they needed everything. Toby Ashy has been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42consistently quicker but he has played the team role perfectly.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes have topped the times, Hamilton and Rosberg but we have now

0:48:43 > 0:48:42dropped six cars, Pastor Maldonado, roaming Grosjean, Kirby Ashy, who is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fastest of the Marussia and Caterham grouping, Jules Bianchi, Max Chilton

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and Marcus Ericsson. Sunglasses appreciation going on. No

0:48:43 > 0:48:42huge surprises in Q1. We are joined by Juan Pablo Montes, seven wins in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Formula One. And the Indy 500. You have had some classic wins but which

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is the most special? Between the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indy 500,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this place was a special, especially with my first win in 2001. It was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42one of those things, it was more than exciting, it was like,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42"finally". You go so close so many times and when you get the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42win, it is special. Williams, the great name of the past, you were

0:48:43 > 0:48:42there and they fell away for a while and now they are back. How exciting

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is it for them? It is exciting and Frank Williams loves motor racing

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and Formula One. When you see them running badly, you feel bad for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42them. I know how hard they work to get where they are. It is pretty

0:48:43 > 0:48:42impressive. You were the last guy before Pastor Maldonado got a win of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42years ago to get a win for Williams. Do you keep an eye on Formula One?

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We don't see you here very often. This is my first time back since my

0:48:43 > 0:48:42last race. Really? With the Nascar schedule, you don't have time off,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42really, and within the car, we just finished last weekend and I've got a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42bit of time off. I can come back and see friends. It is 36 weeks racing,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42full-time job. It was nice, 19 races but only 16 weekend, so some

0:48:43 > 0:48:42double-headers. Do you have time to keep a check is what -- on what is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going on? What do you think of Formula One at the moment? It is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pretty cool. Everyone is talking about the noise it is a different

0:48:43 > 0:48:42but the technology is unbelievable how far they have gone. Do you ever

0:48:43 > 0:48:42see a situation, coming back here because you had such a huge fan base

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and so many people want to see back. Is it ever going to happen? I

0:48:43 > 0:48:42don't think so. I am happy with where I am, I really enjoy America.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42I have never even thought about it, to be honest. While you have been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42here, have you caught up with Bernie Ecclestone? I have not seen him. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was a bit busy when I went to see him, but I have seen Frank and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Roger, and a lot of the race engineers and mechanics. It is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42amazing, like in Williams, I went to the GB two, to watch the practice in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the pit lane, and I saw Kyle and some of the other guys that worked

0:48:43 > 0:48:42when I was around. -- GP to. Stay with us because we have pictures of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Luca di Montezemolo, who was talking to Bernie Ecclestone a few minutes

0:48:43 > 0:48:42ago and he has been very vocal about what he wants out of the sport,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42in-season testing, giving the fans what they want, presumably, he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42thinks they want to see Ferrari at the top end rather than Mercedes but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42we will keep you up-to-date with everything that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42we will keep you up-to-date with great to see you. Who do you think

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will great to see you. Who do you think

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg. Wow. I expect there was a big sigh in the UK with that one.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42I'm sorry. Hamilton has the speed but is not as strong mentally.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg is a bit stronger in the head right now. It is a matter of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42who can put it together. They still have to drive. You think it will be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Lewis? Of all the tracks, this suits him best. If he does not do it here,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42then I think the pendulum is swinging away from him. He has to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42capitalise on a circuit made for him, speed comedy loves that and he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is quick. He certainly is. -- speed, he loves that. Thank you for joining

0:48:43 > 0:48:42us. It is great to talk to you. Let's catch up with Q2.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42COMMENTATOR: The second part of qualifying due to get under way

0:48:43 > 0:48:42shortly. Lewis Hamilton was fastest in Q1 by Ada for margin over his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42team-mate, Nico Rosberg but everything is set back to zero and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42we start again to try to get into the top ten. The gap or 0.13

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seconds. A quick note about temp to -- Kvyat he was sixth fastest, you

0:48:43 > 0:48:42can go through qualifying as normal but we know that he will have a ten

0:48:43 > 0:48:42place grid penalty because he is now on his sixth engine in his car. It

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is one of the elements of the new power units. Once you have used five

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and you go on to number six, power units. Once you have used five

0:48:43 > 0:48:42means an immediate penalty for the next race. That is never a good

0:48:43 > 0:48:42thing for a driver going into qualifying, knowing that whatever

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you manage to achieve, you will be dropping down. On a circuit like

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this, although we have a lot of high-speed and double DRS, it is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42difficult to make the pass. That is nothing to do with him particularly

0:48:43 > 0:48:42as a driver. It is just a result of the Renault issues they have been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42having this year. We know that Red Bull expect to take a penalty before

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the end of the season Prozac to the same thing, using

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the end of the season Prozac to the any one element that makes up the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42power unit. Has everybody so far got a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42trouble-free run? It is looking that way. But they will put on the medium

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tyre, it will be too close to get Q3 on the hard tyre. From the practice

0:48:43 > 0:48:42sessions, it should give people over one lap a jump of about half a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42second certainly. What is the cut off going to be to get to Q3? Quite

0:48:43 > 0:48:42frantic to get straight answers out of the engineers. 26 dead, at least.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Quite a big jump in terms of time to get into the top ten. What we saw

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this morning, the top ten, the lower reaches were incredibly close.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Talking fractions, reaches were incredibly close.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a second between getting into the top ten and having a chance to fight

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for pole position or dropping out at this stage. Jenson Button has been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42delivering pretty good performances. Magnussen taking up a step in Q1,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42compared to Magnussen taking up a step in Q1,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42changes. Danny Platt, he has gone quickly so far but he will have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42eight grid penalty from wherever he qualifies. Nothing to stop him

0:48:43 > 0:48:42getting into the top ten -- Daniil Kvyat. If you can repeat his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performance. Sean Eric Vernon, still no news of his future career, he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will be replaced at Toro Rosso. -- Jean-Eric Vergne. No sign of him

0:48:43 > 0:48:42getting a seat elsewhere. There are a number of other drivers that have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42achieved more, a number of other drivers that have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42him. Showing more promise. Floating around. I fear to say that he is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42probably doubtful to retain a seat at Formula One, just looking at the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42current marketplace. Nico Hulkenberg quick to get out and see what he can

0:48:43 > 0:48:42do in the Force India. Force India had a great qualifying years in

0:48:43 > 0:48:422009, when Adrian Sutil put the car second on the grid. That was his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42best ever qualifying performance and went on to finish in fourth place.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We will not expect that kind of performance from Force India. They

0:48:43 > 0:48:42want to be in the top ten, that is their challenge. Hulkenberg was 10th

0:48:43 > 0:48:42quickest this morning, we will see if he has enough. A close battle

0:48:43 > 0:48:42between Force India and McLaren in the Constructors' Championship. Only

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a couple of points between them, McLaren on 105, Force India on 103.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42He is in the back part of the circuit. Through the second Curva di

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Lesmo. Setting the initial times we will get an idea about the sort of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42change in track performance. Doesn't tend to change very much here,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42David? Some tracks get much quick as we go through the session. Not much

0:48:43 > 0:48:42track ever loose and. The circuit is that it acted -- tracked evolution.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42In terms of creating grit it is not very dusty. -- grip. The driver

0:48:43 > 0:48:42needs momentum around the lap. 24.371 in the first part of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42qualifying. He goes on to what will be... Slow lap. Timed lap but 1.31.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42On the set of tyres he used. Checking out something perhaps on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the car. Not a full on attempts to set a quick lap time. Ron Dennis.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42The man back in control at McLaren. We know there are driver talks going

0:48:43 > 0:48:42on at the moment but still no word as to whether Kevin Magnussen and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Jenson Button will definitely still be driving for that team next year.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Difficult to imagine they will replace both drivers. They might

0:48:43 > 0:48:42keep both. RADIO: The first lap, number four. Two laps available.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Interesting mix of languages, the Italian and English. The language of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the team is English. With the amount of English engineers and senior

0:48:43 > 0:48:42management around. But they drop in and out, when it is the direct

0:48:43 > 0:48:42conversation with the driver. Daniil Kvyat is the one we are watching. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has impressed us on several occasions. Quite evenly handled

0:48:43 > 0:48:42battle between the two team-mates in terms of their qualifying

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performances so far this season. Daniil Kvyat and John Eric Verne are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42six apiece. A decider. Plenty more races -- Jean-Eric Vergne. He has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42been able to manage Vergne at this stage. Vergne was able to mix it

0:48:43 > 0:48:42with Daniel Ricciardo when they were team-mates. Daniel showing more

0:48:43 > 0:48:42consistency in his qualifying performances. But in the end they

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have made their choice they will get another opportunity. They will have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Max Chris tapping in, the youngest ever Grand Prix driver.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hulkenberg is not as quick, Force India not as quick as Toro Rosso.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42This year is coming through. Adrian Sutil slower. Rosberg is immediately

0:48:43 > 0:48:42faster. Moving into new territory, that is the fastest lap we have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seen. Alonso is eight tenths slower in the Ferrari. We will have to see

0:48:43 > 0:48:42where Williams is, close from Bottas, two tenths of a second

0:48:43 > 0:48:42behind Rosberg. Interesting to see the performance gains coming out of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the option tyre. More than I would have expected. Around the half

0:48:43 > 0:48:42second, six tenths mark taking a step forward. Felipe Massa couple of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tenths down on his team-mate. Fastest in that sector, first as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42qualifying -- same as first qualifying. Massa has not down

0:48:43 > 0:48:42nicely for S1. Is all about straight-line speed and braking zone

0:48:43 > 0:48:42in the first chicane. Fernando Alonso. A bit of a wobble

0:48:43 > 0:48:42mid-corner. Backs new run of certainly helped him. -- that new he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has the confidence, the oversteer into the apex. Previously, you would

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have had to lift out. You know you can run a bit wide onto what is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42effectively still tarmac although it is painted green. It is some type of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42grip paint. I must research what they call that grip paint, never

0:48:43 > 0:48:42know how to call it. RADIO: One timed on the next tyre. Unnecessary

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to take the risk of that time? Can we practice with two? Let's discuss

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it in the garage, Nico. We have a concern that you will be out of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position relative to other cars. Tony Ross chatting away to Nico

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg as they chat about the best way to go about this. Rosberg is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42quickest at the moment. It is about getting into the top ten. Several

0:48:43 > 0:48:42drivers still to record a time including Lewis Hamilton. Magnussen

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has not recorded a time that they are all on circuit. Nobody has been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42left stuck in the pit lane. We should get a view more indicators in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a moment or two. Plenty of time for a second opportunity to come out on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a new set of tyres -- get a view. Rosberg with the initial pacesetting

0:48:43 > 0:48:42advantage in Q2. -- get a few. Who will get into the top ten shoot

0:48:43 > 0:48:42out? That is the question. Hamilton now picking up the pace. On his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42quick lap. Vergne has gone into eighth position. Daniil Kvyat and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Vergne, three thousands of a second between the two Toro

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Vergne, three thousands of a second team-mates. As we now keep an eye on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull. A matter of millimetres around the 3.6

0:48:43 > 0:48:42mile lap. Astonishing that they can be that close. Let's ride with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Sebastian Vettel, tough time this year.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Five slash seven in his qualifying battle with his team-mate Brickyard

0:48:43 > 0:48:42-- 5-7. Always good at Monza, he took his first ever pole position

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for Toro Rosso and his first ever victory -- team-mate, Ricciardo.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Down on the fastest lap. Daniel Ricciardo is on a map of the same

0:48:43 > 0:48:42time, we will try to get an idea of how they are comparing. He was a

0:48:43 > 0:48:4210th quicker in the first sector and virtually identical in the middle

0:48:43 > 0:48:42sector. Hamilton has gone fastest of anybody in the middle sector.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42That'll is using that bit of extra road, being a bit more circumspect

0:48:43 > 0:48:42-- Vettel. About the odd special grass. Sixth quickest, what is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Ricciardo do? -- about the artificial. Just a fraction slower.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Sixth and seventh. Magnussen comes through. Hamilton is quickest.

0:48:43 > 0:48:421.24.5. A temp fastest Twenty20, Nico Rosberg. Both progressing

0:48:43 > 0:48:42through to the top ten -- one tenth fastest for Hamilton. Let's not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42discount Williams, could still be in with a shout. Ahead the Red Bulls.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Pretty close in the middle part of the top ten. Fascinating. Pole

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position. I agree. It will come down to the Grand Prix drivers getting a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42clean lap. We have seen Hamilton dropped the ball a few

0:48:43 > 0:48:42clean lap. We have seen Hamilton his own hands. Interesting.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Reflecting on what... Montoya was saying. For him, it is clear that he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42picks Rosberg is stronger. RADIO: Just over a 10th, Nico. Make sure

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you don't hang around coming back. Get a second run in. Time is ticking

0:48:43 > 0:48:42away but he should be OK. Not in the top ten yet after this first run,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Magnussen just outside. Button is comfortable in six. Daniil Kvyat Has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42been pushed down because everybody has moved up. Daniil Kvyat And

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Vergne out of the top ten, and Hulkenberg and the two Stauber boo,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42no great surprise. Peres on his first run Mr laps this morning, did

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not get a simulating in qualifier -- Peres on his first lap missed. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42drove a great race a couple of years ago, finished second. . He feels at

0:48:43 > 0:48:42home here. -- Peres Daniil a strong performance. Force India

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not developing that package. As aggressively as McLaren. They know

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they have slipped back in that battle. It is important if they can

0:48:43 > 0:48:42keep in the hunt in the Constructors' Championship the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42battle between McLaren and Force India could keep going to the wire.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42It is close, Williams-Ferrari, for third place. Williams and Ferrari

0:48:43 > 0:48:42closely matched. Raikkonen is the one in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42closely matched. Raikkonen is the we Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:42closely matched. Raikkonen is the management at Mercedes. -- between

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mickey louder. Nico Hulkenberg squeezed into 14th place. -- Mickey

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Perez has gone quicker. Let's see louder.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Perez has gone quicker. Let's see what happens in the second run. They

0:48:43 > 0:48:42are using the softer tyre at this point. A bit of peace and quiet.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Kimi Raikkonen has just got out of the pit lane, the only car on track.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Now is the time to ramp up the focus and concentration. Nico Rosberg, a

0:48:43 > 0:48:4210th slower than his team-mate. Doesn't need to take risks, get into

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the top ten. Raikkonen has got to do something, 1.5 seconds of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fastest pace, how far off Alonso? Six tenths, quite a big margin

0:48:43 > 0:48:42around here. Looking as if he's a bit more together. But in a good

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performance at Belgium. He has been a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Important to the Ferrari team to be right there with Alonso. What are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42your thoughts with what is going on at Ferrari? They have played a bit

0:48:43 > 0:48:42with different downforce setups. They have, but they have both opted

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to go with minimal downforce. Interesting to see the Raikkonen has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42gone out on a completely clear track. In final practice this

0:48:43 > 0:48:42morning he did not get a proper run, he was held up in traffic. We saw

0:48:43 > 0:48:42him have traffic in Q1. I am guessing Kimi said sent me out

0:48:43 > 0:48:42early, I want a kitsch accuracy what I can do. Interesting,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42early, I want a kitsch accuracy what Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not telling each other around like we saw Massa and Alonso do last

0:48:43 > 0:48:42year. -- want a clear round to see what I can do. Massa might have been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42more subservient to the obstructions with Ferrari, they don't even bother

0:48:43 > 0:48:42trying to negotiate with Kimi. We are riding on board, let's see how

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this goes, the first point is to get breaking right. To 20 mph, it looks

0:48:43 > 0:48:42like traffic ahead, never a good thing. -- 220 mph. Gets a way with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it. A bit of a lock-up which will not affect the tyre. Sometimes over

0:48:43 > 0:48:42speeding the entry like that gains you a bit of lap time. Interesting

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to see what this first sector is. As he comes down under the breaking

0:48:43 > 0:48:42into the second chicane. Not bad. Four tenths away, 3.5 tenths away

0:48:43 > 0:48:42from the fastest. A bit too wide on the exit of the second chicane. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has backed out. Interesting. He must have felt lost a huge amount but he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42did not look that way. Once he was over the back of the curve on the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42exit of the second chicane, even if you're keeping your foot in, you are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42losing as the car bounces up and down. He got the apex to the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42part and solidifying. Understeer wide. As he got the timestamp on,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you have got the feedback on the lap delta. You have experience and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42feel. Dipping into the gravel. You know there is a 10th gone. A short

0:48:43 > 0:48:42run until the first Curva di Lesmo. Evil be in a crucial position.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42run until the first Curva di Lesmo. will be. He has the opportunity of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the tyres are holding up but he can't afford another mistake. At Spa

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he made another mistake at qualifying which dropped him but he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42recovered to finish fourth he needs a decent qualifying run. Coming out

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of Parabolica to start another lap. Magnussen ahead of him and McLaren

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to give him the slipstream. We are seeing fast times. Rosberg setting

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the pace in the first set. We are waiting for Hamilton. Behind Rosberg

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Ontrack. Hamilton has been slower in the first section and Rosberg, let's

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not be very concerned if it is not managed to go purple Parabolica --

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not manage Parabolica one tenth down. Contrasting driving styles and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42setup of the car -- not manage. He will use his advantage in the middle

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and last sector. It is interesting, Rosberg not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42having a great middle sector, Sebastian Vettel has gone seven,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42chequered flag is that an Valtteri Bottas is that, who is in the drop

0:48:43 > 0:48:42zone? Kevin Magnussen, Daniil Kvyat, Jean-Eric Vergne, Nico Hulkenberg

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and Gutierrez. Adrian Sutil is out. Nico Rosberg gets within 0.04

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seconds of Lewis Hamilton but the real battle is to come. Nico

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hulkenberg is out the rest of qualifying, crossing in 14th

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position but Sergio Perez is through. A great lap earlier from

0:48:43 > 0:48:42parents. He did not improve on the second run but enough to get his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Force India through. Jean-Eric Vergne improves but not enough

0:48:43 > 0:48:42because he is 12. As Kevin Magnussen got enough to improve? He would

0:48:43 > 0:48:42knock out Kimi Raikkonen who is on a lap as well. He knocks out Kimi

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Raikkonen for the moment and Raikkonen has not done enough, or

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has he? No, Daniil Kvyat moves up and Raikkonen is definitely out,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42squeezed out by not as Kevin Magnussen but by Daniil Kvyat as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42well. And Raikkonen, only 12, when Alonso was fifth fastest.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Disappointment. Meanwhile, Hamilton managed to almost matches earlier

0:48:43 > 0:48:42time, crucially, psychologically, still marginally faster on the last

0:48:43 > 0:48:42time that than what Rosberg achieved. The battle is on, there,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42as the disappointment in the Ferrari side of the garage shows. Was there

0:48:43 > 0:48:42another mistake? This is at the second chicane again, where he had

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the issue, oversteer on entry, corrects, gets away with it but does

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he go wide again? Not as bad on the exit but he loses time on the entry

0:48:43 > 0:48:42phase. Esteban Gutierrez was very wide out of Ascarate. Looked like he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was aiming to Mexico, the line he was taking. Adrian Sutil again a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fraction faster but I think Hulkenberg will be disappointed to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42be done in 14th when Peretz has gone through and Daniil Kvyat again was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fast. RADIO: It is 14th position, I'm afraid. It has not come together

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for Nico Hulkenberg today. But Hamilton has just maintained an edge

0:48:43 > 0:48:42over Nico Rosberg. Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa showing Williams

0:48:43 > 0:48:42are forced be reckoned with but probably not quite enough to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42challenge for pole position. Then it looks as though it is a close

0:48:43 > 0:48:42between Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull and it could go anyway. But I

0:48:43 > 0:48:42think that was a good lap by Kevin Magnussen at the end and both

0:48:43 > 0:48:42rookies delivering a solid performance in that session,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42although Daniil Kvyat did not get into the top ten, he was still a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fraction faster than his team-mate and I don't think Toro Rosso could

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have asked for more. On any given day, that is what they are looking

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for, a belief the driver has got everything out of the machinery.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Disappointment that he will drop down to 21 on the grid. But he has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42done the best he could today. Those cars that have gone out our Daniil

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Kvyat, Kimi Raikkonen, the big news, Jean-Eric Vergne, Nico Hulkenberg,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez. Interesting session. With a lap time

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of 1:20 4.6, Nico Rosberg wanted to do another lap and that shows the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42level of competition because he was easily through the cut-off point. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was and as a team, he should not have gone out and must not have.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42That was clear because he needs to make sure he keeps his tyres, not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42just for the next session but also the race. This is going to be very

0:48:43 > 0:48:42hot and you never know what will happen. I can see that he is going

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to bring the fight to Lewis, who has to have pole position, I believe, to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42keep any real sign of the championship alive. It is as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42difficult as that. A couple of disappointed team-mates, Nico

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hulkenberg and Kimi Raikkonen, was that a surprise? He looked as though

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he was sailing through and he had a couple of moments. His car does not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seem balanced, and he still seems nervous. He has not got the best out

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of it in spite of a very good race in Spa, which is his pet track.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Nonetheless, he has come here and does not make the final qualifying,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42big disappointment for Ferrari with Luca di Montezemolo here, but a big

0:48:43 > 0:48:42disappointment for him as well. Let's have a quick word with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Christian Horner on the pit wall. How is your session going so far? We

0:48:43 > 0:48:42are extracting every ounce of performance we can, Bunning as low

0:48:43 > 0:48:42downforce as we can but to be honest, if

0:48:43 > 0:48:42downforce as we can but to be pretty well. It is extremely tight

0:48:43 > 0:48:42downforce as we can but to be Incredibly. You can see the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42four cars are ballistic liquid, the Incredibly. You can see the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams and Mercedes on the straight. Rosberg has done 353

0:48:43 > 0:48:42kilometres per hour on the straight and we are doing 345 at best. We are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42giving away a lot in a straight line. Hopefully we will be able to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42get closer to Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso. Is this a track

0:48:43 > 0:48:42where you are trying to maximise the points you can get, put it aside and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42look at the rest of the season? All of those circuits seem to be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42favourable to read book, if you like. That must be your damage

0:48:43 > 0:48:42limitation scenario. -- to Red Bull. It is right, damage limitation is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42limitation scenario. -- to Red Bull. right. We know we have better tracks

0:48:43 > 0:48:42coming up so if we can sneak a car on the third row, that would be very

0:48:43 > 0:48:42strong. We know we have better race pace but the problem is, it is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42likely to be a 1-stop race. It is going to be interesting. With the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fact it will be a 1-stop race, do you think that tactics played into

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Daniel's cans? Perhaps that will not happen tomorrow for you, that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42perfect plan. It will be fascinating, we will see what they

0:48:43 > 0:48:42doing this qualifying, get stuck into the race, survived the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42corner and see where we end up. Good luck. Thank you for joining us. So,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42exciting times, as you said, it was very tight in the midfield but the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams boys are really coming used to great word, ballistic. They seem

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams boys are really coming used to have great race pace as well.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42They have got the qualifying pace and the race pace but it looks like

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes will be the front row still. It is a fight for pole

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position between the Mercedes drivers but I think the second rope

0:48:43 > 0:48:42could be the property of Williams. We have said that earlier today.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42They look so strong, confident. This is a really cracking little car.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42What Pat Symonds has done has revitalised it, along with the other

0:48:43 > 0:48:42people. Williams is absolutely a team to be reckoned with. It

0:48:43 > 0:48:42certainly is. This is going to be very exciting top ten shoot out. Q3

0:48:43 > 0:48:42coming up right now. COMMENTATOR: Fernando Alonso four

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for Rory. So much hope and expectation always on Ferrari

0:48:43 > 0:48:42drivers, here. He is the only one in the top ten now because we have lost

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Kimi Raikkonen. Sergio Perez is the only Force India but where are they

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going to place on the final grid going to place on the final grid

0:48:43 > 0:48:42behind them but we also have to allow for penalties to be applied.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We know Daniil Kvyat, who qualified 11th, has a ten place penalty which

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will move Kimi Raikkonen up into 11th place,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will move Kimi Raikkonen up into three victories so far this year but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42generally they have been from the third row of the grid. He has not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42had any wins from the front row. third row of the grid. He has not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42time from third row of the grid. He has not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42saying. But will he or Sebastian Vettel be in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42saying. But will he or Sebastian Sebastian Vettel has had a slight

0:48:43 > 0:48:42edge. He has looked more Sebastian Vettel has had a slight

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to one they have Sebastian Vettel has had a slight

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this season. He had a much cleaner Friday. He has had all sorts of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42issues on Fridays. The fact he got a normal Friday, the frustrations that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have been there in previous grands sprees have subsided. -- Grands

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Prix. Looks like he will give Daniel Ricciardo around his money. He has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42had pole position here three times, the first with Toro Rosso in 2008,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42but also in 2011 and 2013. Tom, what is happening in the pit lane? It is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42still sporting, the highest track temperature of the weekend so

0:48:43 > 0:48:42still sporting, the highest track 45 degrees. It will be fascinating

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to see in the final session how Mercedes deal with it. There are two

0:48:43 > 0:48:42types of pressure, the intra- team battle between the team-mates but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they cannot afford to make any errors. Valtteri Bottas was only two

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tenths of Rosberg in Q2. It all to play for, inside the team and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams are sitting pretty. Yes, they will put the pressure on and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they managed to do it in Austria when it went wrong, Lewis Hamilton

0:48:43 > 0:48:42exceeded track boundaries and then spun in qualifying. Rosberg just did

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not quite get a lap together and Felipe Massa was very impressive,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and so was out to rebut us, in Austria. It does not look as though

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they have quite got the edge, yet, but let's wait and see. We will find

0:48:43 > 0:48:42out in the next ten minutes. Sergio Perez, then, having had a problem in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42practice this morning, has put it behind him and is solidly in the top

0:48:43 > 0:48:42ten. But whereabouts in the top ten is he going to end up? That is what

0:48:43 > 0:48:42we will find out soon. Jenson Button, we thought he was going to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42be the only McLaren in the top ten for a while but his team-mates just

0:48:43 > 0:48:42snuck in there in the dying moments so he will have to do it all again.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42-- team-mate. There is one of the two we think will end up on pole

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position and Nico Rosberg has an amazing sequence of pole positions

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going at the moment, seven times he has out-qualified Lewis Hamilton

0:48:43 > 0:48:42recently. RADIO: Degradation is low on this compound. I would not be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42surprised if you better York YouTube -- York YouTube time considerably.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42-- your Q2 time. That is Sergio Perez's engineer, who will switch to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Sebastian Vettel next year. Nico Rosberg has had four consecutive

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pole positions in these last few races, seven in all, and in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42qualifying, as I say, he has done better than Lewis Hamilton. Let's

0:48:43 > 0:48:42see what happens as Perez goes into the first chicane, speed trap

0:48:43 > 0:48:42figures, not quite up there with the best, 353 kilometres per hour was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the best we have seen for Nico Rosberg but a pretty clean entry and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42exit. The first lap, you expect him to wind up to improving in the first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42sector. It is so difficult to spot the braking when you are opening a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42lap with different tyres. You start to build a picture of how the car is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performing as you get through the second chicane. Keeping out of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42way of the traffic, Rosberg, allowing parents to go through the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42first Lesmo. Only two corners on this track that resemble anything of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42any other circuit you may be on. Every other corner, like the Ascari

0:48:43 > 0:48:42chicane coming up is truly unique. And that is where he is coming, out

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of the trees, before the left- right- left Flash, trying to get on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the power as early as possible. Another key straight and he heads

0:48:43 > 0:48:42down towards the final turn, Another key straight and he heads

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Parabolica. Again, the car is picking up an immense amount of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42speed and then just judging the braking correctly, as Perez turns

0:48:43 > 0:48:42in. How wide does he run on the exit? We lost sight of him a bit but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he was just on to the white line, perhaps a touch over. Pretty clean

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and it is 1:20 6.2, four Sergio Perez. He did a 1:20 5.8 earlier. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has got a used set of tyres, so that would have allowed for a bit of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42time. There is the boss, watching just one car in this session for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Force India. Nico Rosberg, onto a lap. I think he's on a new set of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tyres. We might see a pretty dramatic fast lap from Nico

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg, but Valtteri Bottas is also one and Lewis Hamilton a bit further

0:48:43 > 0:48:42back, with the advantage to be running behind although it was not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42in Monaco this year. Rosberg will potentially get the benefit of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Peretz's slipstream and Hamilton coming up against Alonzo, in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42parabolic, completing his first lap, has a completely clear track of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42everything -- ahead of him so he will not get a distant slipstream

0:48:43 > 0:48:42advantage. Rosberg is picking up a bit of a slipstream, as will be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Valtteri Bottas in the Williams. Peretz has got out of the way,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42releasing Rosberg into Ascari. Valtteri Bottas will catch him on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the exit the corner so it should not make much difference. Rosberg going

0:48:43 > 0:48:42off a bit but nothing overly dramatic. We know

0:48:43 > 0:48:42off a bit but nothing overly great pace. They don't need to throw

0:48:43 > 0:48:42everything into the first attempt but it has worked in the past. It

0:48:43 > 0:48:42worked well for Rosberg. He just runs it out over the white line,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pretty neat. Let's see what his lap time is like. He will go quickest

0:48:43 > 0:48:42but will it be enough. 1.24.5. That matches what Hamilton did. Valtteri

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Bottas go second. 1.24.6. Can Felipe Massa find a bit more speed from the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams costume and how about Hamilton? He has just gone fastest

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that any -- faster than anybody buy to dent in the mid-sector and that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will give him a chance to go fastest. Felipe Massa will be the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42first of the better cross the line, 1:20 4.8. He's a bit slower than bow

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to rebut us. -- 1:24 .8. He is a bit slower than Valtteri Bottas. This

0:48:43 > 0:48:42could be enough for Hamilton to take top spot away from Nico Rosberg and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it is exclusion not 1:24 .1. Four tenths faster than Nico Rosberg and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Alonzo goes fifth fastest for the moment, tucked in behind Williams.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42That is a mighty lap, the second and third sector, Hamilton has stamped

0:48:43 > 0:48:42his name all over it every time he's been on track. The only area he can

0:48:43 > 0:48:42improve his in the first sector, looking at the session so far.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Sebastian Vettel comes across the line to go fifth, ahead of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Ferrari but Jenson Button has gone faster than both

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Ferrari but Jenson Button has gone Outstanding! Much better than we

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have seen from McLaren recently. Daniel Ricciardo only ninth in his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42first run and we are still waiting to see, no, Kevin Magnussen is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42innate, so everyone has done their first run. That was a good lap,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42particularly by Jenson Button. He is in fifth place at the moment and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton fastest. RADIO: That is P1, four tenths to Rosberg, P2, and we

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will get an overlay for you. Consistently, sector one is always

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg but Hamilton is mightiest in the other two. I would suggest he is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42coming in for a splash and dash if they are going to get an overlay for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42him. It is not something they are beaming to the car so he can look at

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it on the dashboard. Rosberg coming for another set of tyres. He has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42been looking at the lap with Hamilton, scratching his head and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42thinking, "what do I have to do to find the time? " He will have to dig

0:48:43 > 0:48:42deep. The final sector is the fast

0:48:43 > 0:48:42chicane. And then the last time, the Parabolica. It can be down to the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42individual driving style, the setups they have separating the two cars

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this weekend. But the consistency of Rosberg, every time he goes out, he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is delivering the fastest sector through S1. He doesn't seem to have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the confidence through the Variante Ascari and Curva di Lesmos. To

0:48:43 > 0:48:42challenge Hamilton but he has another run out. What is Rosberg

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going to do about this golf between him and Hamilton? -- this golf.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We'll driving make the difference or has it got to come from the car? He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is limited in what he can change, tyre pressure will have an effect on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the overall spring rate of the car. Front wing. They can control the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42differential, if they need more stability or less. The driver can do

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that. There are chilling devices. -- chewing.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Changes are gone. -- the chance to make fundamental changes are gone.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42When you are in the zone of performance, tinier Josh adjustments

0:48:43 > 0:48:42under pressure can make differences -- tiny adjustments. You are basing

0:48:43 > 0:48:42your decision to change something on the car on the set of tyres that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have come. Off you can't possibly know with absolute confidence with

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the next set of tyres, what they will perform like -- have come off.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42They can't out of the same mixing batch of rubber, they are hand

0:48:43 > 0:48:42rolled onto the carcass. Is a handbuilt element of the tyre. You

0:48:43 > 0:48:42see small variations. He looks pretty cool, he does not look like a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42man with darting eyes, panicking about how evil but find the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performance -- how he will find. Yes, Ricciardo has been on the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42radio, saying losing the back end of the car by the time he gets to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Variante Ascari, maybe they should drop the pressure to help keep the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42balance of the car for the entire lap. As the surface overheats, it

0:48:43 > 0:48:42radiates into the carcass and into the air of the nitrogen. It is held

0:48:43 > 0:48:42within the tire. -- within the tyres. Into the final

0:48:43 > 0:48:422.5 minutes of qualifying at Monza. This is the decisive time.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Confrontation between Rosberg and Hamilton, who will come out on top?

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg, so many times recently but for once, Hamilton, touch wood,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42whatever, has had a trouble-free run. We want to see teen dies

0:48:43 > 0:48:42between these two but also in qualifying, we don't want problems

0:48:43 > 0:48:42afflicting either Kardashian and we want to see a good race. He has had

0:48:43 > 0:48:42all in these events. Don't pass the Williams.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42They want to try to take advantage from the slipstream. Interesting,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42putting ourselves inside the minds of the driver. Rosberg has to take a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42big step forward. He is going to find half a second. A huge amount of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42lap time. The pressure is clearly on him. As the driver attacking from

0:48:43 > 0:48:42behind. Hamilton needs to deliver a another sweet lap. Everything on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg pass shoulders. -- deliver another. We think -- he will be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42thinking why can he get back lap time. Alonso does not need to lose

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position. He is trying to control the gap to bot us in front, Alonso

0:48:43 > 0:48:42get in position for slipstream. Has he got enough in hand over bot has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to take a gamble? In theory or task of John Rosberg if he messes up.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to take a gamble? In theory or task has to go for pole position, you

0:48:43 > 0:48:42must not worry about has to go for pole position, you

0:48:43 > 0:48:42behind. It is about finding half a second, not defending from the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams. We are on board with Williams. Fontas a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams. We are on board with -- Bottas. He looks a bit hesitant

0:48:43 > 0:48:42as he got the lock-up in the corner. With Raikkonen, the lock-up

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was much more corner. With Raikkonen, the lock-up

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the term. You can see how it has affected his first sector -- turn.

0:48:43 > 0:48:421000 slower than Rosberg's first sector. That sector time comes up

0:48:43 > 0:48:42against the overall fastest. Rosberg going faster than all in this

0:48:43 > 0:48:42session. Consistently fastest. Is he going to do it on the second and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42first sectors? That is where he has lost out, let's watch Rosberg.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Tidy so far. Very tidy as he comes down towards Variante Ascari. Two

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tenths slower than Hamilton in this first sector. In sectors two and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42three. He is in the personal middle sector but not as fast as what

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton achieved. Another opportunity, one more opportunity to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42make the difference at Parabolica. This is exactly where we join bot

0:48:43 > 0:48:42as. Let's see him try to improve from third position. -- join

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Fontas. Rosberg behind. Waiting for him to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42jump. It is not -- it is not enough to jump Lewis Hamilton. Alonso

0:48:43 > 0:48:42crosses the line in sixth position. He can't get ahead of Button.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Disappointing. Massa, always working, in qualifying, he can pull

0:48:43 > 0:48:42out a surprise every now and again as. We have seen he runs wide out of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Parabolica. Magnussen has gone quicker than Button. -- as we have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seen. It does not change his performance. Awaiting Button to come

0:48:43 > 0:48:42through. Hamilton has crossed the line, he is happy, he has done

0:48:43 > 0:48:42enough. Button is sixth, not enough to beat Magnussen. Ricciardo can do

0:48:43 > 0:48:42no better than ninth, outqualified by Sebastian Vettel by a bit of a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42margin on this occasion. Lewis Hamilton has finally taken a pole

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position. Finally, he had a sequence of them earlier, but it is his first

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pole position eight Grand Prix races. His fifth pole for Lewis

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton this season and his third pole position at the Monza circuit.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42He was on pole in 2009, 2012 and definitely the place you want to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42start this Grand Prix from, historically. Valtteri Bottas has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42qualified third and out-qualified his team-mate. Williams has the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42second row of the grid to themselves. And then it is the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42McLarens. McLarens have both cars ahead of the Ferrari of Alonso and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Red Bulls of Vettel and Ricciardo. Well done to McLaren, much better

0:48:43 > 0:48:42effort. Six tenths down on Williams, though. Using the Mercedes

0:48:43 > 0:48:42horsepower. Although it looks a good starting position, still got some

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pace to find. Massive difference in performance. RADIO: Opposition in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42P1, great job. Did anyone else improved? Nico improved a small

0:48:43 > 0:48:42amount. -- improve? Still a couple of tenths off. This time, Lewis

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton has taken the top spot away from Nico Rosberg. We wondered how

0:48:43 > 0:48:42things would develop at Monza, after the incident at Spa. Rosberg, of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42course, took pole position at Spa but was not fastest at the start of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the Grand Prix, tomorrow we will see what happens when Hamilton is on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pole position. Nico Rosberg finds himself starting from second place.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Good effort from Sergio Perez to get in the top ten that he had to settle

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for last in that group. He was 10th in the Force India. It is Lewis

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton who maybe has just picked up the momentum a touch, after the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42events of Spa. He has taken that fully to heart. He has claimed pole

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position for the Italian Grand Prix. He has got to set about reducing the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42points gap, 29 points the gap between himself and Rosberg. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:42difference between first and 2nd is seven points. It will take him a few

0:48:43 > 0:48:42races, if they are always first and second. It might not be the case,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42because the race pace from Williams was very impressive on Friday. They

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will have a race on their hands from both bot as and mass of behind them.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42-- from bot as. It is going to be about track

0:48:43 > 0:48:42position and momentum. They will be relying on getting a clean start.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Anthony Hamilton, Lewis' father, he will be proud of his son's

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performance. Definitely, outstanding performance. Bottas And mass will be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pretty satisfied in the end. Not able to challenge Mercedes ultimate

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pace. -- and mass. Two x two from Mercedes, Williams and McLaren --

0:48:43 > 0:48:42massa. No handshake from Rosberg to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Hamilton, that would normally be the sporting thing to do. He has picked

0:48:43 > 0:48:42up his helmet and wondered out. ABI am reading too much into it. I am

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not sure you are. -- maybe I am reading.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Going well for McLaren on this occasion, outpacing Fernando Alonso.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42It will be desperately disappointing to Ferrari fans. Alonso only seven.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42He was showing good pace up until this point.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Raikkonen will move up because Daniil Kvyat has a penalty. Notice

0:48:43 > 0:48:42struggling. -- Lotus struggling. Lots to look forward to in the Grand

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Prix itself. Valtteri Bottas looking forward to tomorrow. He came over

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the radio just now. He said he was looking forward to the race. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:42team said we are as well, a lot of optimism at Williams after the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42performance they put in. Lewis Hamilton has taken his third

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pole position at Monza in six years. He is perfectly poised to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42close the points gap on Rosberg at the fastest circuit in Formula One.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42He has done an all right and almost three tenths was the difference

0:48:43 > 0:48:42between Hamilton and Rosberg -- he has done all right. You called it,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42saying Lewis would get pole position. Pat on the back for you,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he did it in style, he looks like he is in the zone. Absolutely, he is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42focused. He knows. He has to put his marker down from here on in. This is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a tough call to win this championship. He will need to do

0:48:43 > 0:48:42everything right. He started that today. Opposition herewith a good

0:48:43 > 0:48:42margin. It will have Rosberg thinking more bad strategy for the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42rest -- pole position here. It will make Mercedes, the power has been a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42big friend to the top three cars at top three teams. All six cars are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42all Mercedes engine cars. Big advantage. I don't expect anything

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to happen. Hamilton can go on and win this. Possibly a feud

0:48:43 > 0:48:42disappointed win this. Possibly a feud

0:48:43 > 0:48:42more from a land so -- possibly if you disappointed this weekend as

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they wanted more from Alonso. This year the car has suffered in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42engine department, you can see that. Not as good as the Mercedes. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes engined cars are running away with things as we speak. It was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42always going to be that way because Monza is traditionally a very fast

0:48:43 > 0:48:42track. Very low downforce. Ferrari are not quite in that realm yet. We

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will have to see what happens. Lewis has given himself the best chance

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tomorrow. 11 out of the last 14 winners here in Monza have come from

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pole position. I don't want to jinx anything for him tomorrow. But you

0:48:43 > 0:48:42can't be any further up the grid than in pole. He has got Nico bit on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the hop. After last week's bad news, no doubt there will be friction for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the first couple of laps going into this corner. I see a fairly

0:48:43 > 0:48:42trouble-free run from Lewis, subject to the car behaving itself. It is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42also more likely to be only one stop. Less things do go wrong.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Yeah. These are items stop. Less things do go wrong.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42into the hands of Lewis. By all accounts, Lewis should win this.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Jenson Button had a good day, taking sixth place. Very well done.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Jenson Button had a good day, taking always knew it was going to be a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42circuit that would sue the Mercedes cars. McLaren struggled at times

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this year, better than expected in the end? All weekend it has been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pretty good. Tweaking the setup through the weekend. I was surprised

0:48:43 > 0:48:42how quick Williams was. One car we did not expect to be that far in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42front of us. Last run in qualifying was not great, the middle sector,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the Curva di Lesmos was not clean. Third-best team, may be surprising

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to some people. One lap pace, we have to hope that we go close to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that in racing. How will have to hope that we go close to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42from Saturday to Sunday? Friday, have to hope that we go close to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42long runs for us, have to hope that we go close to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42than the short runs. We will see what we can do. Interesting. McLaren

0:48:43 > 0:48:42on the third row, here, which they will be pleased about that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he was quite surprised at the pace of the Williams. Were you? We knew

0:48:43 > 0:48:42from free practice, they had good race pace but we wondered whether it

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was going to be, might but they looked fast. I am surprised he said

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that, most of us looked fast. I am surprised he said

0:48:43 > 0:48:42knew, we realised that the only people who could bring the fight to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the almighty team of Mercedes was going to be Williams. I think

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams are very strong and getting stronger. I really think they have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42got something. They just unleashing something. The car handles better.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42It has good downforce. And something. The car handles better.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42downforce. When something. The car handles better.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42downforce it is quick. Their race pace is sensational, not just a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42given for Mercedes. It pace is sensational, not just a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42but if they make any problems whatsoever, Williams are there ?2.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Remember, Bottas who we have seen all through this show, he seems

0:48:43 > 0:48:42accustomed to being on that podium -- thereto pouts.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We have seen Patrick head wondering around, it would be nice to get a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42word with him and where he sees the future of Williams. Eighth and ninth

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for the Red Bull boys, he is Sebastian Vettel.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Everyone expected the front three rows to be a Mercedes party but is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the fourth row what you expected today? Yes, realistically, anything

0:48:43 > 0:48:42from P four, p five, to where we are now, to the end of the top ten, was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42realistic. It was very close. It is a shame if you then missed a couple

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of positions for tense and a bit more. But we knew it was Ray close

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going in. -- by a 10th and a bit more. But we knew it was very close

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going in. The leaders of this group, if you exclude Williams and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes, we are there. Not entirely happy because you know, if you see

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that the gaps are so close, you always think you could have gone

0:48:43 > 0:48:42quicker but overall, I think it was what we could do today. In terms of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tomorrow, is it about is getting as many points as possible, being ready

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to jump if the chaos happens in front of you and then getting onto

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the races which may be sued Red Bull better? I think so. We should be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42quicker than McLaren. It is difficult to say where Ferrari is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42but we should be as quick as them and then we will go from there.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Williams and Mercedes, as I said, unfortunately a bit too quick but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you never know, if they take each other out... Then if you are behind,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42never mind if people are in front of you who get it wrong, but firstly,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you have to look after yourself so you don't get it wrong. A good point

0:48:43 > 0:48:42made by Sebastian Vettel. We have seen Red Bull pouncing when things

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have gone wrong at the front. Although this is not really that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42rank you cannot write them off for tomorrow. I think you can. They are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42not at the races here. I don't think they are strong enough. Christian

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Horner indoors that. They just want to get out of here tomorrow night

0:48:43 > 0:48:42with as many points as they can. But what I am saying is, what happens if

0:48:43 > 0:48:42something happens at the front? They are not the ones to pick it up. They

0:48:43 > 0:48:42don't have the race pace and they don't seem quick enough. They could

0:48:43 > 0:48:42target the podium if things went wrong but at the moment, that would

0:48:43 > 0:48:42be such a major result, I promise you, we would see such happy Red

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Bull faces if they got on the podium tomorrow. Now let's hear from the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42top three in the press conference. Lewis, your first pole position

0:48:43 > 0:48:42since Barcelona in May. It has been quite a journey since then to get to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this point. How do you feel? I feel excited for tomorrow. I am very

0:48:43 > 0:48:42proud of my guys come you know, my guys on the side of the garage have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42also been through a difficult time with me and they have done a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42remarkable job, bouncing back every time and fixing the car, dealing

0:48:43 > 0:48:42with the difficulties. We have done this as a team. It is great to have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42another one-two for the team and I'm proud I could be up here for them.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42You were up by a 10th and a half at the end of the first sector but it

0:48:43 > 0:48:42got away from you. Relative to? Lewis' benchmark. Wood we are always

0:48:43 > 0:48:42going to be quicker in some parts and slower in others. Relative to my

0:48:43 > 0:48:42own lap, it was an OK lap. From that point of view, you know, second

0:48:43 > 0:48:42place is still a good position for tomorrow. It is a long race and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42anything can happen. We just need to work towards the race and try to get

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a good start. And then have a good race but also, definitely, the team,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42again, it is so great, even on a track like monster, where it is so

0:48:43 > 0:48:42different to all the others, even coming here, still, we are so

0:48:43 > 0:48:42dominant and that is great to see. Of course, it is only qualifying and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the race is still to come. But it is ready awesome and the team is doing

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a fantastic job. Your third top three qualifying in the last four

0:48:43 > 0:48:42races but a particularly strong performance in the long runs

0:48:43 > 0:48:42yesterday. Does that suggest you could challenge for victory

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tomorrow? I really hope so. From Friday, to today, they seemed to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have a bit more pace, and maybe we expected we could be a bit closer to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42them today. But I really hope so. We have a solid race pace. It just

0:48:43 > 0:48:42depends on how much they have more pace left on Friday. Coming back to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you, Lewis, obviously, the margins are always pretty fine around here.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42How do you feel about the race tomorrow? You have got some points

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to make up. Any suggestion of team orders or free racing? Free racing

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is the decision last weekend. It continues as usual. Hopefully,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tomorrow will be really good, to get another one-two for the team. I

0:48:43 > 0:48:42think they are working extremely hard and I hope we also have some

0:48:43 > 0:48:42competition with these guys. That will be great for the fans. As for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42me, I am looking forward to it. We are certainly looking forward to it

0:48:43 > 0:48:42and we are looking forward to speaking to Patrick Head. Valtteri

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Bottas on the second row again, his third one in four races, years

0:48:43 > 0:48:42really coming through now and we are seeing the potential that was

0:48:43 > 0:48:42promised. -- he is really. Yes, very strong, and he is not a here today,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42gone tomorrow, up and down. He is a consistent. Here's what we call the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42real deal. I have to reflect as we often do at this stage, we have seen

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a grown up with a great name, the huge success Williams has had, and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42then it had dropped off. Do you feel it is coming back to where it was,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it's glory days? I think there's a long way to go. The team, obviously,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42still has a considerably lower budget than the team that is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fighting against. Undoubted Lee, -- undoubted late, he Mercedes engine

0:48:43 > 0:48:42has a very strong engine in the back. It is still a Williams

0:48:43 > 0:48:42gearbox, and all the other hardware. And Pat Symonds and Rob Smedley and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42the other guys are doing a very good job in bringing the company up.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Meanwhile, it is unusual in being a plc in the pit lane, a publicly

0:48:43 > 0:48:42owned company. Thereafter I do is and nonexecutive directors who are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42doing a very good job in the background, tried to build up the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42budget. It is good to see it coming together on many sides. This has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42been an incredible turnaround for Williams from last year and previous

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seasons. What is your input now? I have to say to the Formula One side,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it is minimal, although why send Pat and Rob Little homilies by mail

0:48:43 > 0:48:42every now and then. I am never quite certain whether they take notice of

0:48:43 > 0:48:42them not. I was quite heavily involved in what was Williams hybrid

0:48:43 > 0:48:42power, the energy storage and high-speed flywheels but we sold

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that because the company we sold it to work interested in their

0:48:43 > 0:48:42applications on inner city buses. We sold that last April. At the moment,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42I'm loosely involved with what is called Williams advanced

0:48:43 > 0:48:42engineering, but I don't think we have quite worked out what my

0:48:43 > 0:48:42connection is and what my contribution is yet. It is lovely to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42see you here, though. Thank you for joining us. Felipe Massa is in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42fourth place and here he is. You knew Williams were going to be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42strong this weekend and are you happy with how things went today?

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Could you have got more out of it? It was a good qualifying for us. I

0:48:43 > 0:48:42think we need to be happy for what we did today. I missed just a bit to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42be third but it was a good qualifying, a good pace. It started

0:48:43 > 0:48:42more in the front which is with positive for the race. I hope this

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is just the beginning of a good result tomorrow. Let's try

0:48:43 > 0:48:42everything we can but I think it was a good day for us. We know how

0:48:43 > 0:48:42strong you are around the circuit from previous years. Tomorrow,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42surely the podium? I will try everything I can. It won't be an

0:48:43 > 0:48:42easy race but I will try everything and hopefully we can be there at the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42end with a good result. and hopefully we can be there at the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Massa, there, coming off the second row tomorrow and a good qualifying

0:48:43 > 0:48:42for Williams. Any surprises for you today? Just how far-away, in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42end, the lap time difference was between Ferrari, Red Bull and the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Mercedes powered cars. The fact the top six are all must 80s units is no

0:48:43 > 0:48:42big surprise. But if I was Ferrari uncertainly Red Bull, 1.5 seconds

0:48:43 > 0:48:42away, they are hoping to have a much better race pace. Let's look at

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Fernando's quickest lap. Your thoughts? In the first chicane,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Fernando is the team leader, even though Kimi Raikkonen is a former

0:48:43 > 0:48:42world champion, and showed he had the pace in Belgium. But here,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42clearly, the car is tricky to drive and get the maximum out of it and he

0:48:43 > 0:48:42was not able to perform at Alonzo's level. That is why he is such a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42great asset for Ferrari. As was seen by Luca di Montezemolo giving him a

0:48:43 > 0:48:42cuddle before the start of the session. You know he delivers so

0:48:43 > 0:48:42much performance, no wonder you don't want to let go of him. Coming

0:48:43 > 0:48:42up to the second Lesmo, no mistakes so far. He delivers and that is the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42mark of a champion, when they just, without question, can get the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42maximum out of the car. He without question, can get the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42consummate professional. We see it, time after time, when we are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42interviewing top drivers, they time after time, when we are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Alonzo. I think he is the one that is revered.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Alonzo. I think he is the one that mistakes on this lap. Ferrari have

0:48:43 > 0:48:42said they are trying to keep Fernando and let live from Luca di

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Montezemolo. We always thought that maybe Mercedes would come

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Montezemolo. We always thought that try to spoil a good Ferrari party.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42You have been showing good speed we can. How do you feel about seventh?

0:48:43 > 0:48:42The expectations were a bit better after free practice because we

0:48:43 > 0:48:42seemed competitive but in qualifying, we were back to reality

0:48:43 > 0:48:42when they turned up the engines of it and we were robbed of some of the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pace we have shown. In the end, I'm happy. You can see the grid,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42pace we have shown. In the end, I'm Ferrari and Red Bull. Everybody has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a team-mate on their shoulder. But it seems I could extract something

0:48:43 > 0:48:42extra. Even though it might be a tougher Sunday than you have had for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Ferrari in previous years, and you feel when you wake up a Ferrari

0:48:43 > 0:48:42driver at the Italian Grand Prix? It is nice because I have huge support.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42People are crazy about Ferrari. They are hoping that one of us will win.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42It does not matter, they will see the season has not been to our

0:48:43 > 0:48:42standards, and they have seen us qualifying today in seventh but it

0:48:43 > 0:48:42does not matter, tomorrow, they renew their hopes and think we will

0:48:43 > 0:48:42win. That is something that motivates you a lot. Literally, we

0:48:43 > 0:48:42can give them something back for the support. -- hopefully. It is fair to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42say the tifosi might be slightly deluded if they think Ferrari will

0:48:43 > 0:48:42win tomorrow? Anything is possible and there is such passion here for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42motor racing generally. The crowds are here. I was a bit worried on

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Friday because it was not that busy but they have turned out today, and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42there is a huge passion for Ferrari in Italy and he cannot do any more.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42They are not going to win the Grand Prix something remarkable happens up

0:48:43 > 0:48:42front. Interesting, talking about thinking they were further on than

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they were in qualifying. Free practice gives you some idea but you

0:48:43 > 0:48:42can't be clear-cut because you don't know what other teams are doing. It

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is cloak and dagger, everyone plays it nice and cool and nobody really

0:48:43 > 0:48:42deals with an open hand. The first open hand we see is qualifying. The

0:48:43 > 0:48:42clock never lies. The time they have done is the one the car is able to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42do. He is seventh on the grid and as he said, he's not that disappointed.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42At the best comedy could have been sixth, maybe but he could have been

0:48:43 > 0:48:42far worse. Do I think Ferrari have a chance of winning this race, like

0:48:43 > 0:48:42David said, unless there is an absolute huge problem at the front

0:48:43 > 0:48:42of the grid, absolutely no chance. What did you think of Red Bull

0:48:43 > 0:48:42today? They are suffering like Ferrari with not enough horsepower.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42They have trimmed the car out, taking the downforce off and today

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it did not work although we know from Friday long runs that they are

0:48:43 > 0:48:42more competitive. But when you start that far back, it is difficult to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42overcome a car which has a lot more straight-line speed. I don't think

0:48:43 > 0:48:42we will see the kind of performance we saw from them in Spa, when they

0:48:43 > 0:48:42genuinely seemed to be in the hunt in terms of race pace. It is going

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to be damage limitation. Let's hear from the man who has got more points

0:48:43 > 0:48:42than anyone in the last six races, Daniel Ricciardo. We always thought

0:48:43 > 0:48:42it might be tougher for Red Bull rowdier than some of the Mercedes

0:48:43 > 0:48:42powered engine cars, but how do you feel after that? Even though we

0:48:43 > 0:48:42expected a tricky qualifying, a bit disappointed. Ninth is not something

0:48:43 > 0:48:42to get excited about. Sebastien is in front but only in eighth place.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42As a team, we would have loved to have been closer to the top five. We

0:48:43 > 0:48:42knew we would not challenge for the front two rows but we thought fifth

0:48:43 > 0:48:42or sixth was possible. Fingers crossed we have got better race pace

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tomorrow, and we can do something with that. What you have done in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42previous races is in there, ready to capitalise on others' mistakes and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42opportunities given. Is that what tomorrow is about? It is going to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have to be. We have put ourselves further back on the grid. The start

0:48:43 > 0:48:42is going to be crucial. Once everyone gets going, here, with the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42top speeds everyone has got, there's probably not too much room for us,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42especially with strategy, probably a 1-stop, everyone will try to achieve

0:48:43 > 0:48:42that. The first lap is where we can hopefully try to capitalise. We can

0:48:43 > 0:48:42go for it a bit. Thanks. Here is your provisional grid for

0:48:43 > 0:48:42tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton in pole position with Nico

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Rosberg alongside him. It looks as though it is going to be

0:48:43 > 0:48:42a scintillating race tomorrow, do you think it is going to end in the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42same way that we are looking at it there? Will we have any surprises?

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We have seen a lot of drivers missing their breaking points.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Qualifying is one thing. All day, honing in to do one magic lap but

0:48:43 > 0:48:42when they go off the grid tomorrow, 100 kilos of fuel, it changes the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42way the car breaks, terms, long one to the first corner with ties not

0:48:43 > 0:48:42quite up to the optimal precious -- turns. There will be influences and

0:48:43 > 0:48:42action. Despite the telling off that the Mercedes drivers will have had,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42there is no guarantee that they will not brush wheels again. They

0:48:43 > 0:48:42certainly seem to both be... Very professional. They both want to win.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We saw Nico asking to do another lap. This competition, scintillating

0:48:43 > 0:48:42action set to continue? Yes. Now it has slightly changed. It is

0:48:43 > 0:48:42absolutely on Rosberg's interest to stay up there. He does not need to

0:48:43 > 0:48:42have confrontation with Lewis. If Lewis wins, it is seven point max if

0:48:43 > 0:48:42they finish first and 2nd. He has 29 points in the bag. This is not the

0:48:43 > 0:48:42place to flex your muscles, particularly after what went on in

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Spa. I really don't want we will see much change from first three

0:48:43 > 0:48:42qualifying to the first three on podium, it looks that way to me.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Nico could be second four times to Lewis winning, do you think you will

0:48:43 > 0:48:42think of it like that or will he want to win the race? Knowing what

0:48:43 > 0:48:42sort of mind Nico has. He has to go for it in qualifying at the start,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42he has to push every single map of that Grand Prix. He will think about

0:48:43 > 0:48:42when it comes to wheel-to-wheel action. Lewis has the psychological

0:48:43 > 0:48:42advantage. If they are running marginally, like we saw in Bahrain,

0:48:43 > 0:48:42in Spa, wheel-to-wheel. Nico will back out of it. Lewis will go

0:48:43 > 0:48:42forward, you will have that upper hand because he can't afford

0:48:43 > 0:48:42contact. From Lewis' point of view, he will be thinking I have two win

0:48:43 > 0:48:42this? He has to win it. He has to hope somewhere along the line that

0:48:43 > 0:48:42Nico has a problem. Sooner or later. Because in his mind, he has

0:48:43 > 0:48:42had so many little problems, far greater in his mind than the little

0:48:43 > 0:48:42problems that Nico has had. He wants equality. He wants Fairplay. In his

0:48:43 > 0:48:42mind, the only Fairplay would be for Nico to have a couple of DNSs. He

0:48:43 > 0:48:42may need one of those to win this championship -- DNSs.

0:48:43 > 0:48:42We asked whether the tide has turned for Lewis this weekend and only time

0:48:43 > 0:48:42will tell, join us tomorrow. More from the magic of Monza. Thank

0:48:43 > 0:48:42you for joining us today, what an exciting race it will be tomorrow,

0:48:43 > 0:48:43goodbye.
