Temple of speed [Music] get a good exit out of the last corner and fire down towards the line DRS open eigh gear maximum it's a long run down to turn one at the Ropo make sure that the car is perfectly balanced before you slam on the brakes at around about 70 M into the right left Ropo back on the power from first gear very gingerly as you head down round the curve de Grande Long sweeping right hander ever building up the speed into eighth gear flat out maximum another heavy break to the second chicane the dalar roia chicane breaking 100 me FP the car left right back over the bump don't put a wheel on the gravel as you heard down slightly banked is the rightand of lesmo one it sort of feed you in in fifth gear rising up towards lesmo 2 a lot tighter right-hander as well downhill section of the track as you come now with the second DRS Zone maximum eighth gear down underneath the old banking section as you head towards the ascari chicane quick flick to the left down from E GE all the way to fifth carry lot of speed in the traction will carry you flat up as you head down after a scaring towards the power Boler no DRS in this section is worth one overtake you have to use your ERS battery deployment freak the car in then as well light dabble the brakes down fifth gear into the power Bol carry up the speed use as much exit as you're allowed as you hurle down across the line to complete the lap it's a short track but it's a fan favorite that is a lap of Monza it's qualifying time for one of the most eventful races on the calendar welcome to the auto Jobo naal Monza for round 16 of Formula 1 in 2024 it's the Italian Grand Prix and Monza well look he turned up for one session this weekend as well I didn't even know he was going to be here apart from the Indie Cars and the NASCAR tomorrow uh JT is here hello Josh you're here apparently for this indie car and then indie car again and NASCAR so yay we get you for qual yeah this is how much uh this shows how much you pay attention to the commentators chart Josh Prett how much You' pay attention to it I was already completed it true but then again I thought a message that you sent yeah I thought I thought it was already done as well when I looked at it I was like what didn't take long oh good my uh anyway we we are here and it's time for qualifying and this is how much I've been focused on Mexico City and NASCAR is at the start for some reason when you said Auto drama I thought you were going to finish it off with her with World reg that is how much I've been focused on Nascar this past week I know NASCAR we'll get on to that tomorrow but Nascar has announced the race in Mexico City and it's going to be the same weekend on oh God I'm not looking forward to this weekend okay I want to get your thoughts though JT quickly Andrea Kim Anton what are your thoughts on yesterday and his announcement that he's been signed for next year 45g yeah is what I've heard that's a lot that is a massive crash and well that adds another cond Contender of who was driving the safety car on Thursday yeah when B smashed it God you miss everything hello Kimmy I think could it be too soon yes but we'll get back uh to that uh probably in between the breaks cuz it's time for the build up yes we're getting all set ready to go monzo and qualifying have often had very interesting preludes around it as well no one exactly knows what could happen we've had L strolling A Williams lining up on the front row of the grid here before we've had Sebastian Matel and atar Roso take po position here before Monza is speed and whoever's the fastest tends to get ped position we're going to see what is going to happen here it comes then it's the first part of qualifying for the 2024 Italian Grand Prix down in the pit Lane will be Jess ball and Omi as well up in the commentary box is Josh T alongside myself Josh Burch and Megan Burch making her appearance as well who's going to be on poll who's going to be some surprising exits can the toosi get their home here on poll it's time to begin here is then the Italian Grand Prix first part of qualifying for [Music] Monza e qualifying gets underway here for the Formula 1 parelli grand Premier D Italia it's round 16 of FIA formula 1's 20124 campaign Monza the home of the toosi the home of the Italian Grand Prix hosted a race every single year since 1950 bar one in 1980 when the circuit was modified died after the death of the 1979 season as well so here we have it a three Straits flat out three sectors which located by three different chicanes two DRS zones only though lesmo one and lesmo 2 provide the only right turns as well that lead us back towards the start finish St L will fly forever down the amazing Royal Park areas C5 soft C4 medium C3 is the hard compound Tire getting ready to go we're gonna mainly see the softs and the mediums across these two sessions atmosphere is building tension is building as well we welcome you up to uh the commentary box here as well Megan's on her way in as well Josh T's here just ball is down in the pit Lane over on skyports F1 notes Martin bundle and David Croft that's have a quick word with them either genius or completely gormless if they get it wrong in terms of that slipstream Down The Long straights you want to be several seconds behind to get the effect of another car your teammate punching a hole in the air but then you don't want to drive into that turbulent air as you're going through key sections like the escari chicane here but if you don't you're leaving valuable time on the table and it's too close up front not to at least try that but you sacrifice one of your drivers it's going to be fascinating and we know that in q1 uh the first part of this qualifying session their all 20 cars will be out there and they will be tripping over each other even before they get out of the pit Lane that's indeed the case isn't it JT uh RPP and top practice one but practice two and practice three have been dominated by Lewis Hamilton the Mercedes next year Bound for Ferrari Carlos signs on the eve of his 30th birthday wants to try and repeat what he had last year and taking Pole Position there's so much pressure out here who's your pick for pole position who have you got lined up on the board pick for pole is going to be I think it's it's going to be open I think we've got leis Hamilton we've got a couple of other drivers in it but I won't be surprised if Hamilton takes it but then again McLaren have been quick the past couple of races and well pace top speed is crucial here at the temperal speed that were didn't it the the safety car can handle it as well J youve just posted JT this the moner circuit has been reserved and changed that's hilarious as well Jess in the pit a that was but I was just checking Discord to see if you said you were back in the pitch Jess uh what who's your pick for pole position who have you got an idea on here at Monza I would did originally say Lando Norris but the way Lewis Hamilton has been looking good in practice don't count him out either so I think it's between those two m bunie is definitely on Lewis Hamilton to put something in as well one minute to go until the green light goes on then and qualifying will be underway uh Megan bur walks into the side of the comment box she only had about a 20-minute break uh since Le in the commentary box for Moto GP it's all going can I leave here for more than 20 minutes at a time please I don't think so there's bag pipes outside there's bag pipes outside oh I'm than go listen thank you go listen my pick for pole is someone who I hope to win because it is his birthday tomorrow KY SS it shouldn't be the back pipe's shut up I'll go listen no no no no no no I can't hear it i' have to get somewhere else sh up because J wanted to hear it yeah and we're 10 seconds away from the start of the session I don't care I care go listen to the B pipes my look if I want to listen to b pipes I'll go to Scotland now here we go look we're about to start the session you almost did I almost did and I will go back to Scotland next year if I don't have B Pipers in that in at not hill I'll be very disappointed year green lights on away we go and well what would you like to hear about would you like to hear how Megan fell against the fire after walking on some wooden bricks on mom's Mother's first Mother's Day with her 2006 7 2007 and second's day I was almost two would you like to hear the time I yeah there you go would you like to hear that was that was smooth we got to AE this out now you come on bit longer uh would' like to hear about the time that uh we all uh aquip planed on the motorway on some slipp oil and Dad's expert driving skill uh got us to safety I was a baby or would you like to hear about the time that I nearly fell off a speedboat in in uh brington I mean we've got time would you like to hear the fact that we've got two Ferraris heading down pit Lane oh thank God for that I thought we were going have to talk for a nonstop because nobody wants to leave the pit Lane that's the first time this season that the green lights gone on and nobody left the pit Lane I think they'd like the speedboat story yeah they probably would medical lights just flashed on this medical car there so I was literally wondering and and worried we would have to fill a bit of time there and look how slowly they are going Joe aan gazley Magnus and hogenberg SS and the Clair are venturing out onto the circuit and they're all going so slowly we're expecting to see well drama basically I'm not expecting this to be good JT brilliant brilliant TV Direction the first cars we pick up going uh down pit Lane is SS Clair uh they completely missed the five cars that went then oh it's all right we missed uh the accident in F3 earlier on for like a lap and it deployed the safy car yeah it was really bizarre this morning I think there the race director a bit of I've had a quick look at the F3 car I haven't looked at it in detail but at first glance the F3 car literally looks like a baby F2 car yeah they've literally just changed the the adaption there as well I don't know if is in the pit r or something cuz he he's he's not here uh our F3 correspondent this car scienti is qualifying for fifth 7th fourth 8th 10th Megan's praying for pole position is that where you're swearing Scarlet yes yeah I'm wearing a red shirt tomorrow it's our chance how my nice purple shirt it's in there somewhere but also be careful on one of your hangers it broke okay it snapped I have too many shirts as you as you well know dear viewers you take up half a wardrobe I do and some of those are as well they're like two and three on one yeah I think I have around about 40 shirts you have three on one most of the time yeah I have a lot of shirts oh you need to be fashionable don't you Eddie Jordan e your heart out and yet you always say I don't know what words from that's because I have the I have like very few thin ones and I have too many hot ones and it's like do you know what I think well shall I wear and yeah you got match with the trousers or the shorts and that that this is why I just have black leggings I have a pair of jeans down as well so kind of need to go anyway we have lap times for anybody interested at all in Formula 1 uh gatley says I have smoke coming out the front brakes Kia stama won't like that never mind about uh Alpine oh big snap on the over de to caros SS ex lesmo almost put it into the barrier like oh it looked like a spider it looked like a fly also but it's gone now but I keep seeing spiders which can jump I keep saying very athletic spiders I'm scared they're practicing for an Olympics of some sort charot Clair is fast in the second sect to JT but that that was nearly color science out of the race never mind out of anything else yeah that was a massive snap I'm trying to find where it was I think it was was it Oscar pastri who charged in who went wide in the gravel at uh Factor 3 it was one of the McLaren I think it was pastra yeah he touched the wheel right F1 Twitter admin please open your eyes or change what you vote next time because you said it was a very close call to the gravel Oscar pastri hit the gravel it was very close to the wall yeah it was very close to the wall was oh science save of the Year ah his last to the 29 a moment on the track I think he's got another two po ofes to go make yeah but I don't think he'll go off hopefully curse of the commentator red red red red bull with Max fapen first fourth first first second that's qualifying format did you take the shield off yes what look it can go back on science and seventh Max then on his first lap times is it me is q1 bit [Music] boring is it me or they're all going to go out this they're all going to go out last L bun up 5 minutes check 2019 repeat yeah I wasn't in the comment box that one B was check the floor of the car that's not good that's not good Carlos that's not good I was I play up put I put both VAR in my fancy as well oh yeah that probably cursed us didn't it as it locks yeah yeah cuz we used the what we used the UN the the the Limitless uh for this yeah Max maximum points maximum points for this weekend maximum points imagine everyone you put in there went down uh I'd probably cry to be fair we haven't thought of an underdog because bons does not tend to deliver normal race winners we both we both went two Ferraris how I both two Ferraris Hamilton Norris and I can't remember andapp that was it yeah I don't even want to know where I am in the fantasy cuz I haven't even gone JT quick you need to change if you've got Sergeant you need to change it from poly Max only go what I don't think I've got Sergeant I'll check for you I haven't even gone on the fantasy your F just your fa that's not bad to say I've not touched it for a month um youve got the SA Joe thank you sorry I muted 119.99 one for Lando Norris he's gone fastest wasab gone third this is Oscar P asri down towards Turn One locking up at the red ailo and cut in the corner sorry I had to mute you there was a replay and there was a lot of action on the chat yes huge lock up on the front there yeah it did not work well did it yeah so Jos you have the sa Jo valono alod youant Echo wow yeah there is an echo for it's not coming from me because nothing's wrong with them oh it's fine now we can hear you in the house still that's because it's on I contemplate closing the door it is closed [Music] so 119 911 for Norris they clear in second St in third how come I'm getting so frustrated standing here in the commentary box I don't know what it is Megan it's like this is not a normal session like you just want to jump up and SC yeah punch they're all because you know where it's going they're all going to go with twoes together they're going to Bunch up together and we know who's going to end up in Q3 and just like just get to Q3 already yeah sometimes the elimination format isn't grow for tracks that are this small like yeah just doesn't work and you can overtake a Monza just such a quick race that you never see any it hour 15 is the maximum colino in eth Alan in fifth is that what you're pointing out here Hamilton and Russell standing their lap times cross the line comes piastri his F had alberg Max Happ radio just said so Volkswagen why is our timing Tower so confused at the moment more like behind and don't forget George to pick you pick a winner after this oh I always pick it after qualifying anyway oh good cuz otherwise they they uh they tra me uh okay just hearing in my ear I need to lie down JT please do take qualifying cuz I can get a lot of sleep I am really not good I'm fighting sickness as well with bugs um I'm going to put some chips in the no no no no no it's a stomach thing I'm going to put some chips in the air FR have a bit of lasagna and go to bed and then wake up at about 10:00 before the indie car starts Alonzo fifth at the moment as the move out botas again improving SP fine yeah JT what have you made of George Russell then do you reckon he's he's he's ready to become a team leader I mean we'll honestly have to see until we'll have to see in 2025 I think it could either go horribly or it could so very well it's one of those things which is it could do that it could do that but if if it goes around the right uh goes the right way I think yes just seeing Toto wolf that that reminds me Toto Wolf's face after Kimmy Antonelli's crash was probably one of the best faces he's ever pulled he's pulled some cers isn't he as well that face out uh it was like a like we got rid of a seven time world CH for person crashes he reminded me of John Sim with the master when he was killing that woman and remember talk he was going but but I like the fact that he was like a fatherly fig it's like don't worry Kimmy it's okay he just like had a non yeah yeah are the tea principles be like that probably not Christian H would have probably um well he probably would have shown him his what just no no that's enough that's enough if he was going to McLaren then Zach Brown just be like contct over here have broke the contract anyway sliding massively ha cou from George Russell there that was ha cou I actually don't know how to do a hi ask Kimmy Ren and he wrote a book about it gazy goes ninth OT goes 10th and Norris the clear science CH Russell Hamil P Alonzo Alonzo actually the only one in there surprising me there Kinto is 2,000 of a second away from Ricardo in the drop zone SoDo is 9,000 of away B is 42,000 of away Perez is in the drop zone 51,000 of away and then Jo Gran use half a second back just just the just a gasp there of Joe Gru but Franco kapino might qualify for Q2 in his first appearance and only his fourth session in the car whereas Sergio Perez is 19th just let that think him what is going on maybe Paris is post somewhere I don't know where it was if it was on Instagram if it was on Twitter I don't know where it was it could have be on Facebook uh but it was something to be something to do with The Gap is so big between Max and czecho that everyone else who has never driven a lap in Formula 1 including us are better than Sergio Perez oh dear oh dear yeah that is kind of thingy isn't it I did a 211 in practice yesterday H perz has done a 211 as well so currently Jess could go faster in than [Music] P Jess you're part of the Red Bull driver Academy Sport off you go not at the moment thank you I got a race there tomorrow have you oh of course that's what you hear yeah oh Hamilton L time deleted chat limits at uh R ailia CH has been told he has a clear lap what the betting can crash yeah nine times out 10 he's gone out on his own he always crashes me so do Red Bull just not care about him because they've sent him out there with no toe at a track where you need a toe they've done the same for albon who's 12th alon's used to it it doesn't make any sense although albon's going to get lovely toe of Perez albor the ex Red Bull driver is getting a toe for current redb driver it's just like you stole my seat I didn't do anything to be fair Alexander albon is one of the only drivers to actually drive for red not to get the Kelly PK contract Paris too cuz he's obviously Mar that's do since coming to Red Bull he's had another child that is go through forgot about that he has he a kid got four of them God this this qualifying one is so dull literally I I I am I'm I'm tired of fighting a sickness BG right but I am literally it's like I'm be it's like I'm being put to sleep you know Marley and Me Had A better ending than this do you know for Christmas last year you got Mary and me no Perez received baby clothes from one of drivers I think it might have been Max try again albon goes e 120.5 instant involving past has been noted for an unsafe release as well so albon gets out of the way there's James vals watching on team principal at Williams he reminds me of someone I can never work out who Adam Driver one well Mega knew immediately it's for those Max for Sten uh was blocked by Oscar pastra here so max coming out and pastra is going to get launched right in the path here whoa Nelly crash yeah saw that Max that is an unsafe release Mar yeah pastri why did you release him in front of Max was this your game to get him out of the race I don't want to say no bleep Sherlock but come on cofy you can do better than that of course it's an unsafe release that's a bit of a gaess question Steward's now investigating pastri after the session so is that a further grid pen then JT for pastri you already might have one earlier on for a dangerous driving in practice three does he yeah he blocked lir and Ricardo is his friend come on Frank well yeah that's def that's definitely going to be a good penalty the only one no idea because I haven't even seen anything from Factory 3 about uh accept the F1 tweet yeah so I just I was just uh really angry that we've got Perez through I kind of wanted him to get any elimination and C to go through but um still M he's going well isn't he soft tires 34,000 off the p oh never mind never mind maybe next time that was a curse of the commentator yeah he'll he'll he'll keep his foot down clean up the tires Hamilton saying that his seat is getting hot again that's the fourth session running that Mercedes are having seat issues antelli is just standing in Fr one of them yeah get it [Music] yes magn and hulkenberg in there too Joe still if Joe does not I will be very surprised if Joe qualifies with it what's happened to magnon the car stopped what's happened there what are you doing what on Earth's happened there why magnuson's cars ground to Halt again they're going to Red Flag the session he St to parabolica ruining everyone's lap time oh it's happened again green flag Magnus has got going again col Pinto had his La time deleted but Kevin Magnuson for the second time he stopped at the the end of practice three had a problem I think he's got a puncture that was very strange he just look like he couldn't turn in they haven't red flagged the session which is great news but many people got affected by that yellow flag don't believe there's still 7 seconds left Anda goes into 15th Place Danny Ricardo's in elimination Zone as the checker flag Falls Ricardo crosses the line and he goes 15th he kicks out soda well that's the first time this year that M's managed to actually do that in qualify one p should easily go through Perez boxes p goes third actually Max with Chen fastest of all in the second sector comes up towards line he's backed off massively went away he didn't want to he didn't want to push the car save the tire he knew he he knows he's safely through Russell goes fifth behind him sonoda stroll kapino botach Joo looks like that's going to be the design at the moment everyone's down in the first sector because of the yellow flag I think that's an antic climac to get into a very anti clim act close by the qualifying color pins Alonzo's backed out jovic watch is on so it's Coda out stroll out kapino out botas out and Joe Gru for the 15th time in 16 races is eliminated in qualifying one and starts on the 10th row of the Grid at least we call a Pinter it wasn't his fault we shouldn't call it the Slow line we should call it it the show line for row 10 funny col did get his second lap time deleted as well yeah see he it wasn't his fault yeah yellow flag yellow flag affects everybody there unfortunately except the hes huberg had his time to Le for track limits yeah but they get through H don't know about that they do both of them they do not not that last lap time hulkenberg has been deleted by the stewards for chat limits but that wasn't the last lap that he set it was it was no because it would be deleted by now keep an eye on that monitor if it changes sometimes the like to take a few seconds to sort everything in okay let's go through the running order then at the end of q1 it's Norris lir piastri SS Russell ven Hamilton albon Perez Alonzo the top 10 gazley oon hulkenberg Magnus and Ricardo go through the eliminations for sonoda stroll colapinto botas and Joe qualifying one complete Q2 is up next situation then will be coming up to see who's going to be top in a few moments time uh let's check in with our commentary box team JT what did you make of that session well it was a bit boring wasn't it very boring start of Q2 is going to be delayed we've just boring that will be brushing uh gravel up uh back into the gravel trap not on the track I believe at lesmo 2 and at parabolica yeah uh the two uh places where gravel gravel happened there going back to where I mentioned the safety car uh earlier on on Thursday if you haven't seen it it's in the F1 chat uh in the Discord server if that isn't a technical problem yeah I don't know what is it it has because the way that the car snapped tells me that there was something wrong with the brakes or suspension yeah I think but the way that bur mylander spun the car on purpose to get rid of as much energy as possible before it hits the barrier probably stopped him and the passenger getting any in injuries okay let's head back to Sky Sports F1 quickly Megan's got news quickly he was just trying to fill the hole in the wall that Sergeant left hey colapinto yeah sorry for that that's what F colapinto had to say uh Jess you're quick thoughts on key1 before we head back over to crafty very very boring uh um predictable q1 eliminations for quite a lot of drivers but both [ __ ] and Alp through let's head up for the sky just watch goes with the under steer eventually ends up on the gravel has a big snap manages to save it fortunately for him it was earlier in the session so he got to do another lab unfortunately for Franco kapino in his first F1 qualifying session similar in fact carrying more runers Ste in that Williams gets to lesmo to just watches hands there sliding sliding the front hoping it bites and it doesn't he ends up on the gravel and this really was his final lap and his final opportunity so he's ended up getting knocked out in q1 uh maybe take another look at that unsafe release that's being investigated as Martin and cofy said it was really a slam dunk I mean vppa is driving along here and I'm just trying to see where that McLaren mechanic is looking and certainly not looking at Vapin coming down the pit Lane you know and and that is a mistake there by not acknowledging and recognizing that vapen was coming along so I think the team will be in trouble with that one um and I think we've got some Kevin Magnus at Radio we can listen to now oh my God man yeah it ruined the end of Kevin magnuson's lap he is though through to the next part of qualifying which has been delayed because there's a lot of gravel on the track that needs sweeping away before before we get going again uh meanwhile I've just read the guidelines the steward's guidelines for penalties and releasing a car uh in an unsafe uh release for a car team fine uh if it happens during qualifying so I'm not expecting Oscar pastri to get a penalty on the grid for that let's just have a quick look at what's going on on the track and I said that the uh there was a lot of gravel there is I'm I'm assuming those witches brooms Martin they are the most effective way to get rid of gravel yeah carbon fiber obviously and uh high tech but no it looks like u a quick way rather than having to get machines out there uh and then recover those machines back to a and you don't want them going the wrong way around the racet trck either back to a service road it's better to get out there with a bit of elbow grease yeah and amongst two Silver Arrow machines in the Mercedes garage is Bradley Lord he's our expert in the pit lane or in the garage for us this week again down at Mercedes right take us through that first part of qualifying not without its drama for either of your drivers but they're both safely through yeah both safely through as you say cofty um not quite as competitive as we saw in fp3 relative to the field um it's obviously a hotter track so we've just got to make the right changes and give the drivers the right inputs just to keep Tire temps under control particularly the rear axle avoid it sliding the rear end too much because that puts temperature in that then just penalizes them around the rest of the lap so that's the convers ation going on here right now uh talking of temperature both your drivers seem to have very warm bottoms uh going down the street what is what is that about and why can't you do anything about it um it's a little bit to do with how much the car's touching the ground and um that you know we want to run it as quick in the quickest configuration we can Martin so that means running low because that's where these cars perform best um there's also potentially something with the airflow or the arrow we've added wind screens to the car as well to change the air flow around the cockpit to try and help that but to be honest it's something we'll really dig into after this week to to better understand because I don't think we've got a full grasp of um why the cooling air isn't going where it should to toe or not to toe that could be the question what's the answer at Mercedes I think if you ask anyone on the pit wall or wearing an engineering shirt here it's to not tow because what you gain on the straights you lose more in the corners and you slide in the corners as well so you want to be in the swirl but at a good six to 7 second Gap we think thanks Bradley uh we'll SP to you after Q2 which will get underway Martin in 3 minutes time so everyone gets a chance to uh to catch their breath somewhat and only one driver in the one minute 19s and that was Lando Norris and he didn't need a toe to do that no you're right and good speed from him H it's 310 quicker than last year's poll already as we say there been expain the tracks changed quite a bit since then and and I thought it would be a bigger Delta bigger difference than that but it doesn't really matter it matters on uh how they line up and which times they can get out now we've still got 48 1 12° track temperature massive temperatures there over 33 air temperature which takes away grip takes away performance um but we'll expect that to keep dropping a little bit over the next few minutes or so what's going on there sudden Dash to get rid of uh the tire is on Pierre gaz's Alpine and SWA them for another set so have they do they have a new set on are they going to go with used at the start of this uh Q2 session or is just uh have they just been cooling a little bit while they've been in their blankets we'll we'll send Ted down to find out and while we do that let's hear from Yuki sonoda he's in the the upgraded RB finds himself out of q1 Yuki just taught me through that did you get caught out by the yellow flags cuz I didn't see where you were on track at the time I didn't no so tell talk me through your qualifying them what do you think yeah I think um just gener generally this week uh lacking of pace and uh I mean there's some bits different across the car and uh maybe some I don't know it's affecting my performance or either my driving what I don't know but yeah I mean definitely yeah soon as that we have to understand what's what's going on and obviously a lot of things happen to stand up with this uh new new floor are there different bits when you say different bits on the car different to Daniels or different to last so you've got different parts to Daniels are running this weekend yeah okay and at the moment they're just not working for you well it should be work because it's upgrade but I mean soon as I since fp1 is uh fp1 was pretty pretty terrible and um he managed to CL close the gap uh session by session but yeah I mean um yeah even I I push flat out I just uh this feels like this uh just limitations are there and uh never able to achieve to uh create the car that we that we want I hope tomorrow's better thank you hello the session is a about to begin now and this time we actually have cars heading out on the track back and yet again first out is a Ferrari hello yes Ferrari head out onto the circuit s ahead of La Clair and there's another one just behind as well I can't tell at the moment Who's tring down Gaz G yeah then hogberg and Magnus and to are shaping up to come out according to the monitor so Q2 was underway after a little delay because theyve had to sweep the track because the amount of gravel that they've thrown onto it as well it's going to be very much uh ah to atmosphere isn't it anticlimactic and then Q3 will be like open Moment sa private R right who's going to be the Shocker to be eliminated in this session I'll go first Perez P oh okay JayZ Perez isn't a shock to me in my opinion so I'm going to [Music] go I think both RBS are going to go out is that a shot maybe not both hes and then I'm going to say the fifth one who has been strong uh album oh okay okay first TR Jess what about you I going agree with Josh T I think Al will be knocked out it'll be surprised cuz he's been looking strong all weekend T po there I'm a bit alarmed by how much my commentary box door is swinging considering it's locked yeah I keep hearing it make noise also I went for p cuz he ain't having a good weekend so far I don't think going to be any better is having such a bad weekend now it's getting a bit funny h on a minute hello what are you you're here yeah cuz you told me to be here no I've just realized something you never do Italy you never do mon only you only just realized that Josh yeah sorry it's just da sorry Megan never does moner it's always a this this season is an exception I can't miss caros it's his birthday I think this I think this entire season mean just angry at herself but she missed Japan yeah don't forget she's doing the pre-show tomorrow someone's doing the pre-show tomorrow with Omie uh no me me in the box of me it's om on his own all right doesn't have to do much it's a shorter pre-show tomorrow anyway besides he's got enough fact that can last him more yeah we're on at 115 with a 5 minute usual pre-show Omie comes on at 20 pass immedately hands over to Sky so it's a short pre-show tomorrow oh nice so so it's literally just Wy yeah yeah until me and Megan and Omie come back in for the for the uh the main part om's going to be busy tomorrow yeah streaming a lotf just like I did last week yeah yeah yeah Ms the F2 does the Porsches and that's all because Megan's laptop is a bit feted this weekend so we've had to move the Moto GPS to this box so we had to shake things up a bit2 yeah Carlo SS cross the line gets his first time on the board it's a 120. 328 Landon Norris goes second fastest charlot Clair's got the fastest first and goes fastest 120. [Music] 296 I love the phrase that homos Simpson coined cautiously wildly accelerating what Max with doing right now goinging to lesmo lesmo to bit bed there I like that we've got gravel as a natural deterrent here towards the line we come then Shing middle sector down a bit H back up to third Norris is looking good as well as he comes into the lesmos P steals purple he's 410 up 26 822 in that middle sector maybe he won't get eliminated Perez goes third maxer is down in all sectors now as ladin took seor one which happen I think he's only going to go okay never mind 119 874 what the twoam McLaren's got to give and the McLaren into the picture there go and I got bid of the DRS booster for staff and oh I should have changed it I gave mine to Lando I think so I think I my gave mine to no as well Lando top9 thank you R in for 19 I love how the F1 fantasy league has just become betting for us lot yeah next year Megan has one what would I have to do well you don't have to have a paying account so we just give you an account if want fantasy it's free anyway so yeah so we'll give you an account I will destroy you we can have one next time out if you like can see how many points you get in the first half of the Season we'll see next time out is as aan yeah it's back out there not next week but the week after yeah yeah typical the same week which I start uni for my second year I always started betting on f one it's dist stress but more than likely you doing back here let me get this just doing every race this year depends unless you're really busy yeah so that's at least one Main St cuz I have a test at some point I'm just really worried about the time we get to the night races GP waking you up in the middle of the night it's going to be like oh yeah have fun yeah waking the dead eight rting that's like waking you up I wake up I just I sleep after last year honestly didn't killed me or was it nine weekends running you didn't sleep properly at all I worried for your help it was really bad NASCAR this time is really going to muck it up isn't it do you know what I had to do last year I had to I literally I grabbed hold of his arm walked into his room and locked him in I said go to bed she did do that albon goes eighth fastest Magnuson is ninth are they on the same time I think I've got the ladders in front of your door magnus's time hasn't appeared on the race control stage yet uh Magnus albor 120. 460 Magnus 120. 698 Russell across the line he goes fourth with a 11987 7 next off salono oh and he only goes 10th that at Magnuson so Hamilton's going to go up and wow it's a 119 641 for Lewis Hamilton he goes fastest overall Lou there's Bradley Lord and Toto wol foring at what point is leis Hamilton going to you know curse himself that he's left a team that suddenly found itself oh look Mercedes Ferrari they are the two bravest fans in all of Monza to be wearing red but to be wearing Mercedes in a sea of toosi I kind of forgot that Al that both Alpine drivers uh got through when I did my Q2 predictions yeah they're here so uh both alpines are going out and then no idea about the others James but Al but albon still my surprise James Hunt one on his birthday Max was has won on his birthday can Carlo SSS win on his birthday and on his 30th too what a way to start your 30th well they call James hunt hunt the shunt they call caros S Smooth Operator smooth they called him they called him hun the Shan there was a cocking SL on that one s goes third 11 19799 but yeah they they they always meant it as the other thing but it was it was just a cheeky little thing that cuz he always crashed the Clearo 7th 1207 second 007 we've had this weekend do you know sometimes I wonder Big Boss beretto V as well the chief executive the CEO of Ferrari I'm not going to say chief executive officer I couldn't I I was swallowing orange juice at the time sometimes I wonder do they just pick a wheel and decide okay this is the driver's playlist We Shall play on the speakers this weekend on the grid yeah yeah B because a few weeks ago it was K sign and I know for a fact that the week before that that had to be Danny with car is not uh is not turning at all again clear it is charlot Clair I I stop moing just just stop we can literally see you turning your wheel fine it looked fine there's no under steer there's no over steer would have caused bigger problems than that also I am wearing red trainers so I'm wearing some Med this is black this is I'm worried I'm going to go through these soon cuz the I need shoes I need combox shoes and I need for uh Converse why don't you wear those trailers in the comx the ones I got for the track ah they're too heavy George just said the front's too hot and the rear is too cold so he's in the middle he's perfect first time this weekend considering all the heat stuff he's having wrong with his seat ah if you want G mag hulkenberg Pi alled out on track and a couple more moving including the two red bulls if you're wondering by the way where Omi is in this session uh he is actually commentating on the Porsche super Cup qualifying uh where the footage has been sent and he is commentating on that session to get out for you ahead of tomorrow and the season finale those a fly it'll be premiered later yes sorry thank you that was I was going to say thank you yes uh premiered later on I took out [Music] the Christie clean by the way uh his uh cousin I believe uh he's [Music] racing Marv CL if you walk into the kitchen right now it's just four things to F I can be here you walk into the kitchen I had a fog in my throat you're if you walk into the kitchen right now there are just four things defrosting that sounded hilarious think it was the HIC and fact that I hadn't breathed in yet bloody hell eson has not gone on a push lap he is lifted off gaz's lifted off so it's a double build lap but now look we've got Magnus on a push lap here comes the Magnus at the end of qualifying everyone's looking for a toe and all backing off I think it's I think I don't think we'll see that I think we'll see the two alpines and two hassid and then Ricardo in the drop zone yeah yeah I think I'm with you on that Alonzo is going to go through Al definitely go through again they go well at this circuit yeah lso did do well think seventh last year yeah it's been remarkably calm qualifying hasn't it nothing's nothing's blown up I was expecting a bit more chaos I was expecting like F3 levels or something cute but no I now look to the time screen for a yellow flag after you've said that and oh there is no no no Josh jigs jigs when we were like oh let's stay to the end and they're fre and then there was a safety car yeah that nearly cooked me with fp2 for OG GP and then we literally I we signed off for F2 and the first minute we went on a from Sprint race on the world feed came on that was tied to Perfection beautiful timing Q we say what we say Q you may say the keyword quiet oh no Cal elenberg ninth Magnus in 12th here's Sergio Perez Danny Ricardo is improving actually as well in these sectors into the last Corner fast sector two belongs to maxen as well Perez eight time not position 120 oh Max only second 119 662 21,000 off of Hamilton top three inside the same turn Ricardo's 19,000 off of albon albon's going quicker woohoo well this is going to get a very entertaining end of this qualifying session and Ricardo is not doing a double push so he is out right so that's one down alono albon is's only 210 off of Hamilton it's could put albon up into about sixth seventh position just ahead out as well could be impr might get through it no never mind oh actually I'll come M oh should take down on albor albor N I put hulkenberg in danger 10 seconds the flag Alonzo come on Alonzo 12th goes 11th a no he's out by 10,000 of a second to hulkenberg is a flag comes out here comes estan hon 15th at the moment does he go through no improves time not position again gazley 14th so it looks like that's it because we know that Ricardo's backed out Alonzo's only completed it it's only Kevin Magnuson and he's boxed as well another Ricardo definitely wasn't pushing as he was only going 150 mes power around the curve of the Grande and they can reach 200 round there what I'm shocked about is hulberg thr yeah third third time this year he's managed to get through to the Final Phase of in a house at Monza Russell is completing his lap time but it doesn't matter he may as well box and he hasn't and Mercedes a bit thick yes you boxing don't you I would and they've kept Hamilton out there as well I'm hungry so out of Q2 Alonzo Ricardo Magnus at gazley and Aon 10 left with 12 at the clock that's it for Fernando 18 I think 11 is better than expect oh at least happy better than expected Q3 is up next here to decide poll position for the Italian Grand Prix at mza Hamilton's the fastest time for 19 19 641 cofy kept talking yeah cofy kept talking there I heard the countdown and they said advert cofty advert they screamed there on the radar so that was a bit much here's your top 10 then going through Hamilton rppa Norris SS pastri Russell lir Perez albon hulkenberg eliminations for Alonzo Ricardo Magnuson Gaz and oon now already in1 was sonod strong colapinto botas and Joe kapino though won start his first PR last go to the two Salas at the back of the grid and there's some penalties still to be decided okay uh let's get thoughts in on that session starting with J down in the pit Lan what did you make a Q2 well unsurprisingly see three cars in the drop zone but the biggest shock I have to say Fernando Alonzo yeah I agree with you there I think you do too Megan agreed Joshy guys this is way too calm and quiet for a qualifying session round Monza you said the KE word we're stuffed aren't we I am going to curse Q3 a different way really and not say calm or not say quiet even though I just did I'm going to say I want to press the yellow flag button on my lights can I say the word chaos what peaceful I'll just do quiet quiet quiet quiet just just give us something okay so Magnuson has been uh noted uh and will be investigated after the session for something that we already know the case of failing to follow race director's instructions maximum Delta time no further action Le H di Z fire that's quite good B Simpson it is yeah actually forgot about I love that episode what is it Lisa's first word yes I love I am so great I am so great s m t I mean no no no no no everybody loves me I have so great honey honey can you please be quiet did I turn up for this session let's save ourselves and our brains to CRA why do I feel like we were a lot like Bart and a little let's get cofty let's let's head over yeah honestly say that was about all what had yeah agreed good job on the fringes of the top 10 Daniel Ricardo who of course had that glorious glorious moment here a few years ago uh when he won for McLaren in 2021 buts on the fringes today and he'll start 12th for this year's Italian Grand Prix meanwhile Lewis Hamilton fastest with a 11 196 but Bradley Lord at Mercedes it is so so tight I imagine if you had chickens you wouldn't count them just yet definitely not no I mean it's it's going to be about putting everything together in that last lap um we see cars improving on their second lap that's probably not going to be relevant for Q3 because most of the top cars will have two new sets and be doing that first lap that they're aiming to hit to get the peak of the tire grip as well to get the most out of that tire so yeah I think the drivers are still trying to assemble their perfect sectors into a single lap and we'll see what happens when it's all on the line in a few minutes time and you're still feeling the same way on the Mercedes Pit All About slip streaming teammates y absolutely I think um you know Lewis obviously has gone fast this George a little bit off will be in the more in the pack than maybe they were in the last two sessions and it's that swrl effect that you're that you're looking for so yeah if you're slip streaming you're sacrificing one car for the other and that's something we're never going to do anyway thanks ever so much Bradley I can see a Sky Sports F1 camera crew in the back of the Mercedes garage with are behind the scenes with Mercedes this uh weekend you can see uh the uh footage in the recording uh next time out in Baku what a weekend to spend in the Mercedes garage Kimmy Antonelli gets announced for next year has a crash during qualifying and they might be on poll as well yeah car's going well isn't it uh yeah they they dipped out a little bit in zamor and they say they understand why now and they're certainly right back in it again and they'd won three out of four races hadn't they there um just before B so Mercedes look handy and as expected ven's not very far away either Max will stand up in the seat for this final Q3 and you send McLaren and Ferrari got more to offer as well so uh top four teams are represented in the top eight in Q2 with all due respect to Alex albon and niik hulkenberg I think this is about the top eight and their battle here and and Ted krabit is it is wide open uh Sergio Perez we know he's capable of a lap and he could certainly put his Red Bull ahead of a Ferrari or a Mercedes or a McLaren and who knows what's going to happen uh in the first couple of rows on this well he certainly could do cofty I'm actually quite interested to see who wins the Alex Alvin n hulkenberg battle my money's on the Hulk just pulling a name out of nowhere right I told you I was looking into Landon Norris's garage indeed he did stay there didn't do uh lap at the end of Q2 I think Hamilton did just to get a read on the conditions that's kind of been Mercedes Mo hasn't it cofy they they tended to do that um even though that he was already quicker but you know let's not forget I know Zan was only a week ago cofty but let's not forget the dri's world championship and Lando needs to put as many points as possible and as much distance between him and Max ven his rival for the world championship as possible and the likes of well ven being quicker than him in that Q2 session even though I know Lando didn't do another run at the end and Lis Hamilton being in the mix it just complicates things doesn't it does indeed C tell C thank you very much for that one as well as they come into it thanks guys uh we didn't listen we don't obviously listen to Sky's commentary uh I get their production as the green light goes on K's underway uh but apparently Nico hul Nico rosberg is in the airone comment box in qualif in practice 3 early one I've heard about this he said I have an opportunity in my inbox to buy part of Alpine cofy says what K goes you can't just L that into fp3 commentary so what pres that isn't what I was thought you were talking about but I've heard all weekend that Nico rosberg has been just uh dropping some truth bombs about Kimmy Antonelli yes he has and Mercedes oh boy as he as he has oh he I need you uh need to catch me up after the session about it all I'm not getting liable on here down no I mean like after The Bard G oh no no just Megan no Megan's looking at me like a puppy dog ah and here look here they come look the fastest raced cars in the world going about 20 mph because nobody wants to give a d to we go Street Sten we've got 17 for Hamilton 16 for Hamilton now take a look at take a look at it take look at it this is the B look at how slowly they're going 25 look look around the pig Lane and Max St nearly runs into the Ferrari we saw that one as well y okay that time yes it wasn't on safe release but why did you go into his path it's Carlos SS he's trying to ruin his 30th birthday what wait a minute wait wait I've got a perfect sound ball for this if I can find it hang on there we go that was an unsafe release you don't think that's an unsafe release and get the hell out of Formula One she s you GRE with this honestly to be honest I was mainly talking to the engineers then I remember the thinking just like why are you letting them go you remember when you said that I didn't even remember when you said that Mexico incident involving car 55 science noted unsafe release No Way Sherlock that was in relation to signs that clip by the way I have rage and it was go some there there Megan there there it's okay Max the stewards can't hurt you it's okay they can't seem to hurt Max she would a run as Megan plots hard to destroy the steward's office and Honda and Honda we continue on with this key3 session as Oscar pastry is the first one to start the lap time at full speed as he comes through the atelo down down towards C Grand would you shut up so I will be there shut up CH has jumped to the top for some reason what if one day I get really rich and buy the entire of Hond and sell it to for SA that would go down well would a dick there's an idea forming in Megan's mind which is well I can't give red full any more power Ross Brawn brought the team stop the clock alon's fastest 12.87 actually I might gift it to Rena they need something oh P just kick the dirt of there goes hulkenberg oh okay there you go 12.42 Hamilton is third there goes perz okay definitely don't we can't let him now Adam says give me Lando Norris for Paul regard Italian Grand Prix But Here Comes pastri to spoil the party and then possibly Norris and SS behind oh it's a 119 436 of pastri Norris just behind him then this is not going to be the fastest runs no way Nelly Norris is on provisional Pole Position by 35 thousands of a seconds of 11941 car sides goes third 19 701 I thought he was going to get P there Max was jaen fif f f oh oh my God Josh the CLA four for the first how are you so excited because for the first yeah because for the first time this year Perez is unqualified for sto huh F be right no further action for caros science it's been reviewed instant involvement car 55 science has been reviewed by the stward no further action Russell goes third and Hamilton goes for for sh on the grid and Monza a circuit where historically he does not go well at it's all blowing up now here and this is [Music] pandemonium nice isn't there to behind yeah they are very much behind aren't they on the order there do Megan is Googling Honda how much does Honda Motorsport team cost Megan to buy the entirety of Honda you'd have to become a shareholder and Rise the ranks or just become like either must or marry the owner that's always that [Music] would Max St all this Shing so we had a tiny Max had no grip at all on this set they on soft what ti is that a brand new set it is a brand new set I just have to buy this so this is all going to hell isn't it this is the most weirdest session of this of the entire season and nobody knows what's happening now we get to the problem though because they're all coming into the pit Lane and they're all going to go out exactly the same time for the last lap this is Max into the parabolica and look at that exactly like Perez lir and Antonelli and so many others a slide in the power bica and he just held it together that's well held there for Max look at their net so the biggest gap between teammates is Norris and piash 5,000 a second Russell Hamilton's Gap is 32,000 peris M DPP in is 10,000 and there's only 3,000 between science and the CL and sorry to interrupt you JT Megan it's 2 by two Mercedes it's it's McLaren Mercedes Ferrari Red Bull oh that's so perfect and we've completely lost Megan haven't we we have Maxin is the worst of the top four team qualifiers and if you're talking about engines top four Mercedes power oh spot on Jess and we've seen that a couple of times in zamort as well they've got the highest top speed at the moment compared to Red Bull Red Bull really must be going to Adrian yui please come back please please please we'll sack Christian we'll do anything just please come back please to be fair I think you need to because this is getting disastrous now for Red Bull what's the time for what's the gap between oh four t Okay albon's out is he going on the track he just activated his TS in the pit L well everybody Welcome to the great Monza weight that we're all used to because Q3 is about to show that this qualifying session has been completely fical cuz they're all going to come out there and this is going to be mad it's going to be absolutely chaos yeah I'm saying it now no one's making it to the line we're going to have a repeat here you can sense it can I oh I wouldn't mind that because noise would be on pole and that would help me with my fantasy Perez is heading out is anyone else going to Red Bull just don't care about Perez do they Max Max to Max to Perez is turning Perez Turing Max so they're going for an oh and here they all come look but that's too early early yeah that's massively too early they've just panicked there and released they're going to go so slow oh God that's too early with three it's a it's a one minute it's a 1 minute 30 out laap got 3 minutes 20 to go and yeah look look at is look they're all stopping at the exit of the pit Lane the Red Bulls have just G on with it everybody else is stopped at the fast lane of the pit Lane oh God the Red Bull's going to be on pole isn't it I like what Adam's put the Italian train at mono it really is who's going to do the Italian job though your thingy I was going to say something else rude but I won listen is ridiculous look at this the stoms in the f one more charot Clair not moving get going 23 mph for the Clair now 218 mph science there's Alexandra Russell and Hamilton have not even got out yet lovely name Alexandra I think Russell and Hamilton are waiting but I wouldn't waited for that long my [Music] friend I keep forgetting that Zara's middle name is [Music] Alexandra Russ's going out there's your previous pole winners look at this so it's Hamilton everyone now out on track but the Red Bulls are going to get caught by H to the Mercedes so they're going to catch them up look they're going so slow yeah they've all gone out in two by two but hulkenberg and Alber have just gone gone on with it that's one advantage of um Al and hul not having a teammate they can just go out when they want this is it then the final lap they've all managed to Coast around it's not going to be a double lap here we're going to end qualifying about a minute early as they come through we're Shing into the rilio nicely done now the first sector from Norris was a 24 was a 26 point point4 for happen is ow 25 26 oh he's 8,000 up it's a 26392 so he's faster Megan needs going to be close 53 Megan needs 53 billion do to buy Honda oh someone's had a bit of an off yeah who's ahead there of maen it's Hamilton Perez to so they have so Perez has CAU them and Hamilton's going to block foren right in the middle of thear Shane ran is twitching everywhere yeah ran is not going to be on p position here I don't think Hamilton's moved out the way Perez in there too Perez is backed off he's given the run to Max Max will give Perez the to the next lap but it might not be good enough it's one or done for Max jaen and it's not going to be enough he's only seventh fastest he only un qualifies Perez Red Bull of the worst car oh my God caros s might be on PO position he's got the fastest first SE of anybody Lando Norris is improving in his own time and Perez picks Red Bull have their worst qualifying of the Year seventh and eighth on the grid Al albon ninth 12299 out comes the Jack fly he's look at that yeah purple second sector is l i about to take his second pole in the unit a row yes it's a 11 19224 SS still to be done isn't a mlar one two across the line for pastri second yeah no improvement on time there Carlos SS only Third only third 1194 Charlotte Clair goes third Ferrari's look out the second row Rip but look at Mercedes they're still improving it's in order again it's 2 by two again Russell and Hamilton they've been trading sectors they might still spoil the second row McLaren have the front lock out we know that but who's going to have the advantage forther back George Russell across the line and he takes third can Hamilton get to the second row better six he doesn't improve Mercedes engines are 1 2 three Ferrari 45 Hamilton 6 vman his worst qualifying of the year in seventh without a grid penalty applied Perez eighth Alor ahead of hulkenberg but a second pole in a row and a fourth career pole for Landon noris the Red Bulls don't have the top speed that they used to woohoo need 40 billion in pound Megan needs $40 billion in pound what the hell is happening in Formula 1 right now question to you all one word is Lando going to catch Max for this Championship yes yeah yes yes he will after that Adam got it right Adam gets pick a pole right with nand Norris I picked a pole as well he was the first world to take the flag too unbelievable aable Max crazy Max 7th what is happening L Maris you are entering your new area my friends I'm sorry my bad okay mate I'm sorry you're uh that was good enough for poll cool means uh your setup was amazing what boys lovely to you congrats he not happy with his yet and still a go p i mean wow I am at well we've got the Lando hat in the coms box still from last week just been sat on the desk is this a new era D yes yes I'm going to leave now I expect the race to be very exciting hopefully lat Megan now takes off a headset always takes off a headset like she's pulling off a BAL CL instead of just I don't know taking off some headphones so not bad and uh we're get ready to close over in fact uh we're going to give ourselves a bit of a break because we're all tired up here so we're going to hand over to Sky for now and get their thoughts on the session and get our team's thoughts after this here we go half a second off the back of Hamilton in sixth yeah Hamilton sixth they're seventh and eighth and in fact only two10 ahead of Alex albon in the Williams who's had a stellar qualifying session hasn't he and he did out qualify Nico hulkenberg uh for that particular battle Alex albon started ninth here in 2020 but he's always been in the top 10 uh whenever he's been into qualifying here vapen has started from pole only once in the last nine races and I know he did win qualifying in Spar and had to take that engine penalty but that's not Championship form at all no and worse than that it looked such a handful didn't it I mean when we picked him up with a hel shot through the escar isane towards the end of the lap I mean it was all over the place Earth's going on with that car it's it's it's gone from being on Rails to looking really quite difficult to drive it certainly has and without the the top speed to promise you know a chance of overtaking tomorrow as well this was perz we saw the dust and it came from this corner the second at lesmo corner that that that's the handful you're talking about Mar yeah little bit of underair is wandered wide and that will have uh chewed the underneath the car a little bit and then of course that sends Max for stappen who's already gone wide himself in the first lesmo that sends him some dust to drive into which doesn't help him either oh dear that wasn't Red Bull's day but it was McLaren's day David veki has the mic phone in his hand and a McLaren driver in front of him say ciao to everyone to Oscar second Today front row for tomorrow how was your lap man you were there yeah the the first lap in Q2 in Q3 was was quite good just the second one uh not quite enough which uh I feel like I've said a few too many times this year so uh no still a good performance and uh a really good team effort you know I think the The Field's been incredibly tight this weekend so I think I said on the radio you know there was no guarantee of a front row lockout for us so um yeah had amazing effort to to be able to pull that off yeah fantastic moment for you and for your team what do you what do you expect about tomorrow race because seems that you are in a perfect moment with your car yeah I mean starting a bit further up the front than last week is definitely uh a positive for myself uh it's obviously a long run down to turn one so starting second here is is not always the worst thing but um yeah let's see what the the tires do tomorrow it's been uh a little bit different to what we're used to in Monza so uh yeah could be a pretty exciting race and with such a a tight feel at

your lap and how was your car to drive yeah it was great uh ending up P3 a little bit better than I expected because it was a really tough session q1 and Q2 and fortunately we saved it until the end

amazing race this season what do you expect and what do you think about mon I think it's going to be a tight battle everybody's so so close out there so exciting for F1 you know we've all been waiting

an absolutely fantastic charm we're having here is very well done pman fifth of his career London noris pman in mon tell me talk me through your lap my friend yeah um thank you I mean another poll which is amazing so like uh like Oscar said to have two cars first and a first and second um when the field has been as tight as it has all weekend it's a little bit of a Sur priz but a nice one so uh big well done to the team done an amazing job uh honestly my lap was it hurts me to say it was not a great lab um my my Q3 run one was but run two was a little bit more and uh we're still getting enough a PLL so a little surprised again but um but very very happy congratulations for it seems that you are building up a fantastic moment for yourself you're racing so well you are always competitive your car is helping you what do you expect for tomorrow race yeah um the same really the same would be lovely but it like we've seen all weekend it's so close um there's a lot of very quick drivers behind and quick cars so I'm not expecting a a very easy race tomorrow um and like George said a lot of un uh unknown things going into the race with the degradation the tires the TAC you know so um plenty of question marks and plenty of excitement I'm sure and then Prim VAR first CH here in mon scared me so much but I'm not London noris but what do you think about that uh I mean it's it's it's always a little daunting you know on a qual lap especially you don't know how much to push uh but it's a fun one the whole circuit is amazing and um I'm looking forward to tomorrow congratulation well done Lon noris bman with McLaren let's confirm how they finish then here for qualifying it's Landon Norris on Pole Position Oscar pastre is second George Russell is third fourth for sha Clair fifth kth Lou Hamilton sixth Max seventh Perez eth Alba ninth hulkenberg having the top 10 then it's Alonzo Ricardo Magnus gazley okon sonoda stroll Kinto botas and Joe at the back of the grid once again closing thoughts then from the team uh Jess Dy in the pits make of qualifying and go into the race tomorrow because then you're not going to be with us oh you going to be in the background oh oh my goodness Nando Norris is on form once again got a pole he's got to nail that start he has to can he translate to the nice win to tomorrow it's going to be kind of repeated maybe 2021 but we'll have to wait and see we obviously don't know what the Ferrari and Mercedes going to do literally three and a half teams are in a chance of winning but I don't think Red Bull are going to be in a chance of those cars looking slow but you know it's it's good ones that always deliver so it should be fun JC yeah as Jess said we are honestly going to have to wait and see we know what land nois most most of the time happens at turn one he drops down a couple of positions but then we saw like last week he fought back and he got it by 20 plus seconds will we see that around Monza 20 plus seconds I don't think so because of the nature of this circuit but with the top speed that the M that the Mercedes engine and the McLaren team has I honestly will not be surprised if we see something special tomorrow with the McLaren team team it's going to be something really special as well thanks JT thanks Jess pleasure to have you both here this weekend Jess will be back with us for the support series tomorrow and JT be back for indie car later on so what a qualifying we were expecting either Red Bull or t the toosi cars of uh Ferrari to take over it did not happen it is McLaren with a onew here in Ferrari land that's going to go down well isn't it what's going to happen orange rules again in the sea of red we'll see you tomorrow for the Italian Grand Pre bye-bye [Music]
