Qualifying Highlights | 2024 Italian Grand Prix

this is Max aaen leaving the garage and who is going to appear in his path oh my word Oscar piastri almost crashed yeah I saw that Max that was close close close close perz is 19th and just trying to make the second stage of qualifying yeah he had a whole bunch of traffic he was first out and uh there was a delay on the next group coming so we had a bunch of traffic oh Kinto fighting the car he was trying to punch his way into Q2 but he's through the gravel to blow that opportunity hulkenberg's finding a clean lap improving sector one and two A Something's gone no way don't drive it into the gravel like that surely it looked like he'd been off earlier in the lap but that's very bizarre the way he took it to the uh the gravel yeah maybe an issue there with a puncher maybe something's gone a right yellow flag is out for everyone trying to improve Joe improves his lap time not his position white flag is waving for a slow recovering car we've got Ricardo colapinto sonoda botas and Joe in that drop zone at the moment stroll was on the brink but he's unable to find a lap time can anyone find an improvement including a driver who's won around here in the past the winner in 2021 Daniel Ricardo desperately looking for a time that can take him out of the Drop Zone like Yuki codre has just managed can he put him straight back in Ricardo can Ricardo gets to 15th position sonoda into the drop zone five cars out sonoda stroll colapinto and the two salvas with botas ahead of Joe albin's going quickly through half a lap both alpines are still pushing Magnuson is out in 13th and alono is trying to improve as well so there's still plenty trying to just Shuffle out hulkenberg and Alban yeah Alban definitely right on the ragged Edge through a scar and um carried brilliant speed through the middle part but that made it more difficult for him to position the car for a clean exit let's see if it's cost him any time Alin trying to get into Q3 once again up to ninth he goes ahead of hulkenberg what can Alonzo do trying to reach Q3 for the fifth session in a row can he get there or does that run come to an end it comes to an end in 11th place okon is on for a personal best but can it contend with the time set by hulkenberg no improves his lap time but not his position and the efforts have been thrown at this Monza circuit once again Alonzo in 11th out along with Ricardo Magnuson gazley and Aon we saw that one as well yep that wasn't quite as bad I think as the mlan issue earlier around the final corner corner for Oscar piastri so aggressive low fuel high speed piastri to the line fastest as you would expect for McLaren the formed team in Formula 1 but Lando Norris is trying to take that place away Lando Norris up through the gears over the line gets ahead of his teammate by three hundreds of a second so many more contenders to come though including Carlos SS he's only third what about Max for stappen in the Red Bull the world championship leader is fifth that has not gone to plan sh Clair always a master when it counts in qualifying but he's behind his teammate at the moment we've ticked off the McLaren the Ferraris and the Red Bulls it's now over to the Mercedes pair of Russell and Hamilton and can George Russell find his way in a super tight battle between the two McLaren can he find any Improvement to get near it third he doesn't quite get on McLaren Pace but what about Hamilton he is behind George Russell Norris and his teammate pastri Russell and his teammate Hamilton SS and his teammate lir Perez who has out qualified Max a stappen all season long is the lead Red Bull here's the oversteer that Max had at parabolica and that is what cost him a significant amount of time all the way up to the line then and he lost 610 total in the final sector it's not improving at this stage he is close though to the first sector time of Lando Norris dropping back in the middle part of the lap the stapper not on for a personal best he needs the parabola to go a lot better they're going to pick their way past the Mercedes that's Perez who's gone off he left a cloud of gravel in the way of aaen he peels out of the way of his teammate where does this lap put Max aaen it is going to be an improvement from eighth place but everyone else is going to have the right of reply the're staing across the line only to seventh huge moment in the context of the world championship and now it's the battle for pole position between the McLaren the Ferraris and the Mercedes Lando Norris improving middle sector of the laugh as he goes through aari is the best so far the Ferraris are flying in the first part of the lap as well though McLaren now have to execute pole position for Norris to make the most of this situation the Mercedes will also be able to come back as well but it's Lando Norris trying to take back-to- back pole positions in for 1 for the first time in his career can he get there and extend the advantage he can it's a 1193 to beat Carlos SS he's in the mix as well but first of all Oscar piastri looking for a maiden pole he's not going to get there over to Ferrari and Carlos SS who gets to third Char Clair trying to do what he's done two times before he's the lead Ferrari on the grid but it's the second row and now only the Mercedes can deny McLaren a front row lockout I don't think they're doing enough it doesn't look we've got Hamilton and uh Russell trading who was better in the first and second sector but this is going to have to be Mighty if it's going to change anything George Russell trying to be the lead Mercedes on the grid can he get on terms with the Ferraris he can can Hamilton join him on the second row or go better no only sixth for Lewis Hamilton McLaren have a front row lockout in mza for the the first time since 2012 and Lando Norris has two pole positions in seven days he's rival for the championship is in seventh in Formula 1 2024 it's game on Lando Norris on pole for the Italian Grand Prix this is huge this could be one of the big turning points in the season I know xan was emphatic but the gap on a circuit that is so different to xanor has been continued McLaren on the front and now vapen with a scruffy qualifying is only seventh on a circuit that is not that easy to pass on [Music]
