OK, Pierre, so we're going to want to switch off once you're stopped.

How many cars are ahead of us?

I'll have to do a count. Yeah, just to have a rough idea.

That's a count of about seven, that's as far as I can see at the minute.

I'll let you know once we head out how many cars are on track. Seven or eight or so. We'll wait until about 90 seconds to switch on. We've got just over three minutes until the green.

Similar outlap procedures to what has been discussed. So happy to push on the outlap.

Pierre, if we could go P2, please.

Two minutes to the green. Thirty seconds until fire up.

Okay, Pierre, we're happy to fire up with the MGU-K.

And if possible, Pierre, we could go forwards on offset for this outlap.

Tyres are going to be too cold, so I don't want to front lock. Just leave it there. Copy that. We'll keep you posted on the slow laps.

And we've got 20 seconds until the green.

And track is green.

Okay, mate. 10 cars on track ahead of us. Hamilton, the first car pushing. He's in turn 19 now. So let's push on this outlap. We'll go recharge off at turn three. Now Hamilton crossing the start finish. Four seconds to Hamilton. We can go recharge on.

And 2.5 to Hamilton.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on and we'll box this lap. And let's do a fast in-lap if we can, please. So we're boxing this lap. So Esteban's last lap was a 12.2. So sometime sector 3 by 1.10 we'll give you an update. No threats behind at the minute.

Lost a bit of debris on that lap. Copy that. How's the front wing for you?

And Pierre, are you happy with the product?

Okay, Pierre, we've got Hulkenberg crossing the start-finish now. Alright, there's a clear section of track behind us for now.

So, no changes to the outlap procedure. Let's push.

Okay, so we've got Alonso and Hamilton, not just Alonso, starting a lap now.

So Alonso is five seconds back on a time-lap.

And there's three seconds to Alonso.

Two seconds to Alonso.

And we've got just over three seconds to stroll. We're happy with tyre temps.

Two and a half to stroll, so let's go recharge off and let's go.

Alright, we're watching track and let's go around on a cool down lap.

So Esteban, last lap 11.9. We've got Alonso behind pushing. He's four seconds back.

Pierre, we don't have time but to go again. Watch out for Alonso. One and a half behind. Suggest taking some kerb. Watch out for Alonso. We can do some weaving. Suggest taking some light kerb. 15-16. It's gone now. Numbers look good to us. Let's prepare for our lap. No threats behind. Reset your brake balance. There's three cars ahead waiting to start a lap.

So we'll go recharge off before we go. We're still watching Stroll, but he is 13 seconds back. All good on time.

Let's go recharge on and box this lap. We are safe. So that's box, Pierre. Great. We'll give the car a good look over when you're here. Yeah, scary stuff. So we're P8 at the minute.

So Esteban's lap was an 11.9 in P16, in P15, so it's both cars in. Lovely to hear, so let's bring the car in and we'll get ready for Q2.

Just have a good look under the car.

Okay, so we've got under a minute to the flag. To the green light I'm in. 50 seconds.

OK, on the offset, Pierre, the other car is minus one from us.

It's just that we are looking to the chicane.

Okay, Pierre, we see high rear slip on braking for turn 10, which is costing us on exit.

And we can go recharge off up to turn 3. So we'll go same amount laps as before.

OK, mate. Nine cars on track. Hulkenberg the first car to open a time lap. He's in turn 18 at the minute. So Hulkenberg opening the lap now on the front straight. So two seconds to Hulkenberg. Watch out for him.

Copy, steering is a bit bent. Okay, we'll take a good look. Recharge on boxes lap, no threats behind.

Turn 6 and 12. Copy. Okay, I can drive.

I just want a single lap and a clean out lap if possible.

There's a spot to slap. We are wondering about the run sequence.

If an extra lap can help.

Alright Pierre, on this outlap we'll keep it a bit gentle and we'll push a bit more on the prep.

So Norris just crossing the start finish. Magnussen in turn 19 about to start his lap.

So, five seconds to Magnussen.

OK, OK, we'll go recharge on. Recharge on and box this lap.

How was that? That was pretty good. Let's wait till everyone finishes.

Alright mate, so we are P5. Let's go! Let's go! So let's box this lap and we'll get ready for Q3.

Don't mind the bad steering.

Very good job, guys. Very good job.

And one minute to green light.

Do you confirm we do prep lap on both sets?

Sorry, please repeat. Can you confirm we do out and prep? Out, prep, fast. Copy.

And if we can press OK twice, press OK twice.

We can have recharge off up to turn 3. Green flag. Green light is now.

And we can have recharge on. We don't need recharge off on this outlap.

No transcript available

So we can stay gentle on this outlap and then we'll push a bit more on the prep lap. We've got two cars on track ahead of you, Hamilton the car behind.

And no need for recharge off in the tunnel.

So let's go around for a prep lap. Hamilton still the car behind. He's three and a half seconds back. He might be pushing.

Two seconds to Hamilton.

Our next car back is Russell, 13 seconds back.

And the Russell is on a time lap.

We can go recharge off from 8 to 10.

Still nine seconds to Russell.

And when we get to sector 3, let's work the surface of the tyre. Russell has backed off, so you don't have any threats at the minute.

So let's just prepare for our lap.

Reminder, we'll go recharge off at 19.

OK, Perez, you'll recharge on and box this lap. Happy for a quick end lap.

So that's P6 at the minute. We've got eight cars who've done a time-lapse so far.

Tsunoda and Albon went unscrubbed there behind us.

OK, so the track is clear behind. We'll stay recharged on up to turn 3. Stay gentle on this outlap and then we'll push more on the prep.

So when we go through the tunnel, we can avoid partial throttle. So similar to what you did up to turn 3 would be perfect.

So still nobody behind pushing.

So we just focus on the tyres. When we go down the front straight, we'll do the same thing. We'll keep the speed down.

So we've got Tsunoda five seconds behind.

We can start to push this prep lap. Tsunoda is pushing his three seconds back on the time lap.

Two seconds to Tsunoda.

Next car will be Leclerc, eight seconds back. We can go recharge off through the tunnel.

Suspension. Suspension. OK, I'm going to recharge on, slow down, we've got a puncture there. Yeah.

Fuck. Mid 12. Let's go mid 12, please.

And can you bring it back?

All right, let's just keep the speed down.

And if we can have recharge on.

All right, mate. Let's box this lap.

Okay mate, so that's a POCSIS lap. We're going to Parc fermé.

Anyways, did some good laps today. Shame about that at the end. Real good sector 2.

Yeah, that's a shame.

Still the first Q3, guys, so it's good to be here.

Yep, good to be here and we'll race from here tomorrow.

What's the final... So, Leclerc on pole from Piastri and Sainz. Then we've got Norris, Russell Verstappen, Hamilton in 7th, Tsunoda 8th, Albon 9th, and then yourself, Esteban in P11. What was Albon's lap? Albon did a 10.94.

And then Tsunoda did a 10.85.
