30 watts.

Leclerc still on track. Reversing.

So Leclerc is still halfway across the track.

Just waiting to make sure the track is clear.

So, there's obviously this turn 16 where Leclerc's parked across the track. These cars will try and push each lap as they open now, so. We may have to be watching our mirrors unless they red flag this.

I'll switch off as red flag.

That should be great.

So we're looking at fast, slow, fast, and then potentially through the pitlane, and then cut sec. So it's fast, slow, fast.

No transcript available

Radio check when you can. Yes, copy.

Go switch to go out.

SS Logan opening a lap now. Two seconds to Tsunoda. He got clear behind. Try and open at 6 or 7 seconds.

Gap at 4, 5, 6, go push.

Happy to push again, sector 1. I'll let you know.

For traffic, I prefer to take a call.

Yeah, I'll just... a bit of both, but we're... You're taking the cars behind. Yeah, copy. So, target zero on the dash.

So I'll push next lap. Do you want to try the mode 2? Yeah, we can. Copy. Alright, you can preset mode 2. You've got Verstappen out lap. He's pushing quite hard on his out lap, otherwise in sync.

That was quite bad, Sargeant, in third gear. Very similar to China.

Okay, so mode 2 set. Be mindful of turn 3 on this lap. Just Verstappen ahead. He's five ahead already. And go push.

It's going to be busy, I had five cars to open that up.

Okay, go switch to go and you've got cars pushing through now. I'll try and get the feeling about a seven. A few cars coming through.

Feeling two gear 7 cars coming through.

You've got a gap to five seconds back to Ricciardo and then there's a bunch.

So Tricano in 3, Magnussen in 4, Zhou in 6.

After Zhou, it's quiet. Zhou through. Give yourself a gap. Then VLM 2, 7th gear.

You've got a seven second gap back to Bottas.

It'll be the same VLIM again out of turn 16, so perhaps you can just leave it in VLIM 2 once you go through the slow stuff. Good, Bottas in 3.

Is he flashing? Yep.

I'm sure feeling on the front wing in a minute. We'll come through the pitlane to do a lay-rubber and do the consec. We're not bad actually. The track's going to come up, so just leave it for the long run. I think we've got Logan outlaps, Sainz on a push, a couple of seconds back to try and get Venum 2 again. We'll box this lap for a stop short lay-rubber.

Okay, we'll box this. Just go mode 7 when you go mode 7. Try and practice a bit. I know it's a bit late.

It'll be a stop short and then a low rubber, then into Konsec.

Should be clear pit exit. Watch the white line.

Tsunoda want to push in 6. So for the surge, try position 5. When you can, try position 5.

Tsunoda is still five back.

And it's green 10 position 4 for the first of the shifts.

And we're into concept looking at five times, five times.

Rick and Joe will push next lap. Probably build some space then. You've got an 8 second gap back to walk on.

Is he fishing? Negative, he's in second gear. You've still got eight seconds back to him.

The cars ahead are doing a fast lap fast, so you may start interacting with them as we progress, but still got a gap behind.

So let's just go push 5 consecutive knots DRS.

Alex, feedback on balance, if we can help you with any switches.

I'm doing it myself.

Shift change. Green 10, position 6. Green 10, position 6.

That's Hulkenberg out lap scrap pad.

One more time lap. Norris pit exit.

Looking at one more time. Potentially you can use this for following. Get a feel for following.

Stay in this switch setting. I'm going to box this lap to a practice pit entry. Stopping box engine off. Mode is good. Switches are good.

And box, box.

That should be clear.

Okay, so there's two McLarens 10 seconds back. They're on consecutive.

There's Piastri first, then Norris, then there's a six second gap between Norris and Hamilton. It's also consecutive.

Go search to go out.

Piastri is still three seconds back and you're clear to open the lap, so if you can stay ahead would look OK.

Gap behind at 2 to Piastri. It's clear to open.

Maintain the front. Bottas, in sync with you behind on an outlet. New soft. He's six seconds back. The two McLarens will either pull away or they'll pit.

Okay, so timing-wise to do the test, we need to be probably looking at push, cool, cool, push abort.

Be clear to open the lap in sync with Bottas behind.

What is going on?

Is that re-locking or what?

Copy, re-locking.

OK, here in Sigma, Gasly, outlap, new soft, Zhou on a cool behind. Six seconds back.

Turn front to the decent window and drop rear when we can.

Go switch to go out quickly. Back still full.

8-5 Gasly, we'll push next lap.

Gap to him out at 4. We'll give a push.

Close the lap and then, boom, change your pedal to double corner single and then a final push lap, OK?

So the plan is double-crawl, push, then a fast in-lap, live-stop onto the hard on the grid start, so it's going to be tight towards the end to get the grid start.

Looking at plus 20 on the dash for double cores dropping front and rear. Currently inting the cars behind, there's two purple sectors, two and three currently.

Yeah, zero. Zero confidence. Pump it up.

So, there's a few cars on outlaps now. New soft.

Just watch Sainz pushing in 3.

Shift change when you can. Green 10, position 11. Green 10, position 11.

We've got seven seconds back. He's jaw-pushing. First lap on the soft.

Stay and go cool, go round again. Plus 20 on the dash. George still in 4 seconds back.

First car pusher behind you, 8 seconds, Bottas.

And Hulk in 7 on a push.

Hulken 5 and there's a gap behind 10.

I think George will be double course and he'll be slow next time around. You've got a 20 second gap behind you two. Ricardo, who is in sync with you.

So, we'll aim to complete the next push lap and then a fast end.

So George will be slow next time around. And let's go push.

Okay, complete the lap and then it's go switch to go in. I'll push on the way in. You've got Ocon 6 back about to open.

Okay, timing, we're okay. Just keep pushing all the way in. So green 10, position 7 when you can. Green 10, position 7.

Okay, so we'll box this out for a live stop onto the hard single crew stop. You can manage the position if you want to. Practice per entry. Go race. We've got no threat behind. On mode 7. Still need mode 7.

Okay, so for your live stop, single crew stop, hitting the hard, it's just over a minute and a half of the session.

Joshi Bottas going to enter 1-0, should be ahead of you, and Ocon going to push his 5 back.

Alonso four on a push, Magnussen seven on a push.

Alonso at 2, Magnussen at 5.

Magnussen in 2, then there's an 8 second gap.

So, Hulkenberg 5 back on a push. But the flag is out, so he'll take the flag.

Hulken 2.

OK, switches are OK for now. You're 8th in line currently.

Target B4-0.

I'll let you know on the side. Logan is second in line.

What's that, Tony? I'll confirm. Two burnouts, target 4-0.

That'll be right-hand side, right-hand side.

We'll just manage the gap out of turn 16 so we can push 17 and through to pit entry and stop in box. Gap is 10 seconds to the car ahead of them.

Just before turn 17 you can set go race as well.

Gap ahead, 11 to Hulkenberg and Verstappen ahead of him in the last corner, so it should be relatively clear. You can set go race, gap to Hulkenberg at 8 and we'll push last corner.

Qualifying 1-0.
