06:57:40

OK, mate. Two minutes 30 to go. Got a queue forming in the pitlane behind you now.

06:57:52

Who are the cars behind? We've got Tsunoda, we've got both Haas cars queuing up, both Strikes, both Williams.

06:58:13

Two minutes to go.

06:58:55

And just a reminder, Pierre, we've got the top right available for turn 1.

06:59:06

Yeah, if you can remind me, I'm out of the turn 14. Copy that.

06:59:16

And just under one minute to go.

06:59:21

So, outlap as per previous and we can use DRS after turn 13.

06:59:44

I'm just under 30 to go.

07:00:01

And that's 10 seconds. Do you want a faster outlap?

07:00:15

So we're happy for the outlap, same as P1, so partial throttle up to turn 7 and then we can push after turn 13.

07:01:27

Let's just keep an eye on our delta.

07:01:55

We can push out of 13 and use DRS.

07:02:00

Let's just be mindful of the delta.

07:02:04

I know I'm going to be stuck behind the office area.

07:02:17

Copy that. You've got a little bit of margin now. Reminder, we'll go recharge off at 16. You have the top right available for turn 1. And let's go, mate.

07:04:12

We'll go recharge on. We'll go recharge on mate. We'll box this lap. Let's keep the speed up on the in lap.

07:04:20

So we're currently P1 on the timesheets.

07:04:32

So, I'm just going to watch Norris, the first car behind you, pushing his five-second lap.

07:04:42

Esteban did a 37.6.

07:04:48

Three seconds to Norris.

07:05:00

Okay, so the next car pushing is Piastri, but he's a long way back, 26 seconds.

07:05:07

We'll just box this lap. And how's the front wing?

07:05:17

I can put a click more. Copy that.

07:05:22

Let me know about front tyres, they're a bit pulled, like Apex 10-2. Copy, we think we can push a bit harder on the outlap next time. We should be careful because we're waiting three minutes.

07:05:39

Copy that, we'll box this lap. We'll have a quick chat and go again.

07:07:50

Okay, so pit exit should be clear. You've got Verstappen finishing the time lap, so no threats at the minute. We can focus on our outlap.

07:08:08

So we feel we can push a bit harder through turn 7.

07:08:32

So the first car back pushing is Zhou. He's 12 seconds back.

07:08:40

So you've got Esteban behind you on an outlap.

07:08:47

Zhou's now seven seconds behind.

07:08:59

And now five seconds to Joe behind.

07:09:17

So let's watch out for Joe.

07:09:20

And then we can push out of 13.

07:09:47

And we'll go recharge off at 16.

07:11:34

Ok mate, we'll go recharge on and box this lap, box this lap, keep the speed up on the in lap. Yeah, you saw turn 8. Yep, we saw turn 8, so we'll discuss that. Esteban behind, he did a 35.8.

07:11:48

You are currently sat in P11. Esteban, P9.

07:11:53

And how's the front wing? Mate, it's all in 10. I almost crashed turn 8. I don't know. I need to find something there. Copy that.

07:12:09

So, currently no threats behind, so we'll keep the speed up.

07:12:57

Still no traffic behind or box at this lap.

07:13:22

Just keep an eye on the weighbridge.

07:14:45

It's OK, the screen. I just want to make sure.

07:15:07

What's the minimum lap time?

07:15:11

Please repeat Pierre. What's the minimum lap time?

07:15:19

On the outlap, question? Yeah. Yeah, so it's two minutes through safety car lines.

07:15:31

I will keep you up to date on timing.

07:15:37

We are good for time, so we can focus on our outlap.

07:15:43

No stress, let's just focus on the tyres.

07:15:52

And we've got Zhou is going to be the first car pushing. He's just coming across start-finish now.

07:16:14

So at the minute we're P14, so nice clean lap.

07:16:25

We've got five seconds to Joe behind.

07:16:33

And three seconds to show.

07:16:41

Two seconds.

07:16:46

The next car pushing is Albon. He is 12 seconds back.

07:17:02

So still nine seconds to Albon.

07:17:06

What are the guys ahead doing? So we've got Perez ahead.

07:17:14

On a slow lap. Not clear what he's doing.

07:17:24

So, Albon four seconds back.

07:17:29

Perez might go again. Two seconds to Albon.

07:19:19

Recharge on. Recharge on. We'll box this lap.

07:19:28

I had some derailing on the line. OK, we'll look into that for the next session. We are through.

07:19:36

So let's save fuel on the inlap.

07:19:43

We've got a couple of minutes to discuss the balance when we come in, so let's think about front wing.

07:19:51

Yeah, nice lap. Yeah, it was a good lap mate. Still a bit of time in sector 1 compared to the other car, but we'll review once you're here.

07:20:11

Biggest problem for me is turn 8. I still have this touching and can't really carry the speed. Put me off a bit for turn 9. Not sure we can do much.

07:28:00

No transcript available

07:28:13

OK, Pierre, so you've got Esteban the car ahead and Stroll is the car behind, so let's focus on the tyres.

07:29:36

Okay, so Esteban, nine seconds up the road and you've got a good gap to stroll behind.

07:29:53

Got a recharge off at 16.

07:31:41

Copy that mate. We'll go recharge on and box this lap. Box this lap.

07:31:53

So we've got Russell opening the lap. He's just crossing the start-finish 10 seconds back.

07:32:00

There's the wind stabiliser.

07:32:04

Yep, we'll get back to you.

07:32:08

So, Esteban, that was a 35.3.

07:32:34

And we're watching Russell behind three seconds.

07:32:48

Okay, Pierre, all cars behind now in sync with you, so box this lap. Wind looks similar to us, similar to the previous run.

07:32:58

I was too slow, I think. Outlap.

07:33:16

You've got a double yellow coming up. You've got double yellow 16.

07:33:24

So, we are boxing this lap.

07:33:48

And he could just go around Esteban in the pitlane.

07:47:52

Take your time. Verstappen crossing the start finish now.

07:48:00

He's two seconds back.

07:48:18

Pierre, we can push a bit more through turn 7. Front temps are a bit down.

07:49:19

And we can push out of 13, use DRS.

07:49:44

And a reminder, we'll go recharge off at turn 16. And let's go, buddy.

07:51:33

Okay, I'll go recharge on, recharge on, watch out for Piastri behind.

07:51:42

And we'll save fuel on the in lap. Let's save fuel on the in lap.

07:51:50

Yeah, at turn 8, got some dogs. Copy that, mate. Apologies. Been an issue for us this session. Save fuel on the in-lap.

07:52:23

For info, Esteban's lap was a 35.2. Still a few cars to finish.

07:52:40

Did Sainz and Russell set a lap? Sainz and Russell did set a lap. And they both made it Q3.

07:52:57

OK mate, so after that we've ended up P15, Esteban in P13.

07:53:05

Albon has split the cars. He did a 35.2 and then Bottas was P10 at a 34.7.

07:53:19

Let's just keep saving fuel and we'll box this lap.

07:53:45

Maximum fuel saving.
