F1: Japanese Grand Prix Qualifying - Live | Formula one

Lawson, Alonso, Antonelli, Hadjar and Walk are lower five with just over five minutes after the first quarter.

Hadjar is in the box and looks very uncomfortable in the cockpit.

With its new softs, Hamilton defines the six fastest time, It should now be safe for Q2.

Everyone has now registered for a time and what it looks like Lawson, Antonelli, Hamilton, Hadjar and walk, which are the slowest.

Hamilton has already shed its media for some softs.

Isack Hadjar ends his first roundThe 12th fastest and then on the radio to complain about the same problem in the cockpit that he used to have today. Reporting indicates that he has some problems with his seat belt.

George Russell comes by for his first flying round And he divided the McLaren’s and becomes second behind Piatri and in front of Norris.

Verstappen records its first time from Q1 and He went the second fastest, only 0.127 behind Norris.

However, it is not long before he moved down to third place when Oscar Piatri sets a new fastest time with 1: 28.143.

Some of the leading teams are now starting to set the first times And it is Norris who went 1: 28.233 in front of the front of the pack. He follows Leclerc and Tsunoda.

Hamilton apparently came on a number of medium tires for the first quarter. They look like trying to keep a set of soft tires in reserve for later.

Drivers who sometimes start reporting, Bearman followed the fastest followed by Hulkenberg, Sainz, Ocon and Doohan.

Jack Doohan It is very special that his DRS is closed when he hits the corners – the Australian left it when he tried to look around in P2, and it was a major bingle.

Q1 begins

The cars set off on the route, the 18 minutes count and the first qualification of the Japanese Grand Prix is in progress!

The beginning of the qualification is imminent And if you need a memory, it works here.

All 20 cars will reach the race track in a first qualification – Q1 – and have 18 minutes to take a lap time. The five slowest cars at the end fail, with the remaining 15 drivers meet again for the second quarter and have another 15 minutes to set a time.

Another five cars will be switched off at this time, the last ten links with 12 minutes – maybe just enough time for two rounds – to set a fastest time in the third quarter.

Ooooh, you have already updated the intro to show Lawson in his Racing Bulls Gear and Tsunoda in his Red Bull clothing. No mucking in the production team.

One of the most striking features of the Suzuka circuit are the cherry blossoms that are around the route. Blooms, which Haas pays tribute for this weekend with a special paintwork.

We are almost 20 minutes away from the beginning of qualifying And in view of the fact that Verstappen has won in the last three races in Suzuka von Pole, it could prove to be crucial.

One of the most important things you should watch in qualifying Is the potential for fires to break the course. There is a lot of dry grass around the route and it is lit three times in the various previously staged exercise sessions.

The cover has shown marshals as gardeners who try to water potential flash points and to alleviate the risks of other flames, and hopefully prevent future flash points.

Rain is forecast overnight, which hopefully should also reduce the risk of interruptions in the main event.

After a strong crash in FP2, One of the biggest questions that go in the way today was when Jack Doohan’s alpine was repaired in time to hit the route. However, these concerns were treated quickly when the Australian hit the route, with all its parts that a power united replaced.

How did Max Verstappen react to Liam Lawson’s downgrading? If his Instagram activity was doing something, he was not impressed.

Of course, social media are not real life, right? Maybe it was a panties off your finger?

“Well, I liked the comment, the text, so I think that speaks for yourself; it was not a mistake.” Puppy.

preamble

Joey Lynch

In the afternoon everyone and welcome to the Live reporting of the Guardian about qualifying on the legendary Suzuka Circuit, when the Formula -1 World Championships 2025 meets Japan.

My name is Joey Lynch and after I missed Shanghai because I was an hour of bullet train ride away when I defeated Australia at the World Cup qualifying in Hangzhou in Hangzhou.

Undoubtedly all the eyes can be seen on Yuki Tsunoda this weekend. It is not only the home race of the Japanese driver, but it is also his first since he was promoted after only two races to sit in Red Bull in the (maybe cursed?) Number.

The 24-year-old showed promising in chaos that were yesterday’s exercise sessions and ended up in today’s last hit before qualifying in the top 10. No price for what was guessing, but who showed most of the pace, since the McLarens from Lando Norris and Oscar Piatri are fastest in the earlier meeting.

Qualifying starts at 3 p.m. JST/11 p.m. PST/6 a.m. GMT/5 p.m. AEDT.
