00:00Natural ebb and flow of racing as we join him on board here
00:03down into the braking zone into turn one.
00:05You've got to get a front wheel on that kerb and he was a little bit wider than he should
00:08really be.
00:09And again at turn two, you've got to get a lot closer to that kerb.
00:12So whether that's just inexperience on the track or something to do with the characteristic of the car.
00:16Again, there's got to be a bit of kerb hopping through the second chicane
00:19and look how close they get to the wall on the exit there.
00:22Through this very fast right-hander taken flat out,
00:24which is where Olivier Panis unfortunately broke both his legs a decade or so ago.
00:29And then out off the back chicane and then down this very street circuit feel, isn't it?
00:36You've got walls and arm core either side and then you've got a brake just under the bridge.
00:40Sounded like he was on the brakes a bit earlier.
00:42And then the run through the chicane that takes you down to the hairpin.
00:45Looks like he was struggling with traction coming off that turn.
00:48Nice run up through the gears and then look at that,
00:51all the sea of people down at this hairpin here.
00:54You've got grandstand surrounding you, keen to get on the throttle as early as possible.
00:57Again, just too much wheel spin there.
01:00And that will be passing him lap time all the way down this long stretch.
01:04The fastest part of the track is well over 320 kilometres an hour
01:08as he tries to spot his braking,
01:09probably being put off a little bit by the car in front.
01:12And then over the kerbs.
01:14And as you can see that approaching car, I think it was,
01:17just missed a chicane completely,
01:18allowing him to get round to his lap.
01:20And unfortunately, he's one of the big teams that have dropped out.
01:24Not good enough for Q2, but a fair bit.
