Alexander Albon
      
    
    
    
  16:31:57
  
  
  
    OK, straight out. Sainz should be, Leclerc should be ahead. Hamilton should be alongside him pulling away. And then there's an 8 second gap back to Bottas and Ocon. Looks like Hamilton's giving Leclerc a bit of space. And Leclerc will come through. And Hamilton in 6, Bottas in 12.
  
  
    
  16:32:42
  
  
  
    Hamilton within 3, Bottas within 9.
  
  
    
  16:32:57
  
  
  
    Hamilton in 2. Potentially he's on consecutive. Let's go out.
  
  
    
  16:33:16
  
  
  
    I think Tsunoda behind me pit. Bottas consecutively slide back, so I must stay ahead of Bottas.
  
  
    
  16:33:26
  
  
  
    Torsen 4.
  
  
    
  16:33:30
  
  
  
    Bottas at 3, go push.
  
  
    
  16:34:30
  
  
  
    Should be good to push again next lap. Magnussen outlap behind you. Three seconds and Sainz six back.
  
  
    
  16:34:37
  
  
  
    Fronts are nowhere. Copy that. And they're opening up a lot on the outlap anyway.
  
  
    
  16:34:45
  
  
  
    Potentially Sainz's consecutive, currently four back. But there's a real bunch if I do.
  
  
    
  16:34:59
  
  
  
    You've got Zhou pushing in three as well. All right, then it's clear behind.
  
  
    
  16:35:52
  
  
  
    OK, red flag. Safety car on. Positive on the delta box this lap.
  
  
    
  16:40:20
  
  
  
    There's no point running this forwards offset on the tyre because it just opens the grating on the outlap.
  
  
    
  16:41:00
  
  
  
    I'll do the go out from turn 7.
  
  
    
  16:41:21
  
  
  
    Potentially the two Ferraris ahead of you are still consecutive. And you've got the George behind you as well, potentially consecutive. Now there's a 10 second gap back to the two Alpines.
  
  
    
  16:41:52
  
  
  
    Tyres are still on the low side, so mode is good to double push if we need. Gap ahead at 5, gap behind at 6.
  
  
    
  16:42:07
  
  
  
    Still six pack for Gasly. Go push.
  
  
    
  16:44:10
  
  
  
    Gasly in sync behind eight seconds back.
  
  
    
  16:44:15
  
  
  
    Is that cool for Hamilton or tyres? It's just the tyres are graining like crazy so there's no point to push it. Copy.
  
  
    
  16:44:36
  
  
  
    Offset mode 2, mode 2.
  
  
    
  16:44:40
  
  
  
    Still in sync behind eight seconds back to the two Alpines.
  
  
    
  16:44:49
  
  
  
    Verstappen needs a load of fuel in 6th gear.
  
  
    
  16:46:07
  
  
  
    Are we okay with the brakes? Everything feels off. Stopping power feels terrible.
  
  
    
  16:46:17
  
  
  
    I'll just use the Alti-Alto straight for me.
  
  
    
  16:46:27
  
  
  
    You've got Ocon pushing in 6, otherwise clear.
  
  
    
  16:47:56
  
  
  
    OK, it's clear behind eight seconds. I'll take a call at plus five, dropping the rear.
  
  
    
  16:48:09
  
  
  
    It's like I have to smash the pedal as hard as I can to get any kind of beef.
  
  
    
  16:48:19
  
  
  
    Norris should be in sync. He's three seconds back.
  
  
    
  16:48:24
  
  
  
    Norris, hold for a second.
  
  
    
  16:48:31
  
  
  
    We try going rearwards on the brake bars to improve the efficiency. Yeah, but it feels a bit lucky, the car.
  
  
    
  16:48:43
  
  
  
    Bottas in for a push.
  
  
    
  16:48:46
  
  
  
    Bottas in a 300 push, then there's a nine second gap to Verstappen.
  
  
    
  16:49:08
  
  
  
    Verstappen in 4th.
  
  
    
  16:49:13
  
  
  
    So he's on a push. Should be slow next time round.
  
  
    
  16:49:20
  
  
  
    Still three back, go push.
  
  
    
  16:50:49
  
  
  
    PSG2 back on the push.
  
  
    
  16:50:56
  
  
  
    I think cars' cooldowns are way too slow.
  
  
    
  16:51:01
  
  
  
    The tyre is so stiff, especially on the front, every lap. OK, I suggest we box and we'll move on to the tyre. No, no, no. You still want to keep going over the top? I do want more than that. Alright, let's watch Norris on 3 then. Behind Norris is clear, 8 seconds.
  
  
    
  16:51:54
  
  
  
    Alex, there's another option on the brakes. Go half a percent forwards, maybe to do with rear temperature, rear performance.
  
  
    
  16:52:04
  
  
  
    It's all clear behind. Two cars in sync. That's two Aston's behind you in sync. Gap ahead at 4 to Tsunoda. Go push.
  
  
    
  16:53:44
  
  
  
    Okay, we're going to box this lap. You can see with the cars around, I need to move up on the tyres in time. I'll try and do this test through turn 10. So we need a blue...
  
  
    
  16:53:56
  
  
  
    Blue 7, position 3. Blue 7, position 3.
  
  
    
  16:54:03
  
  
  
    And then set mode 7 when you can.
  
  
    
  16:54:11
  
  
  
    And then exit 7, you can go push.
  
  
    
  16:54:33
  
  
  
    Push on the way in. No DRS. No DRS.
  
  
    
  16:54:43
  
  
  
    I have box, box. I have box, box.
  
  
    
  16:55:19
  
  
  
    Box turn short.
  
  
    
  17:01:08
  
  
  
    Just got Logan opening a lap here. Now we should be ahead of you. Stay behind after Logan.
  
  
    
  17:01:49
  
  
  
    Go switch to go out now. Gap behind is 7 still.
  
  
    
  17:02:16
  
  
  
    Gap still 5 back to Alonso. He's clear to open the lap.
  
  
    
  17:03:54
  
  
  
    Okay, closing up. You've got three seconds back to Bottas pushing. Aiming for a plus ten. Dropping rear. Bottas on a push.
  
  
    
  17:04:04
  
  
  
    B-P-X.
  
  
    
  17:04:07
  
  
  
    I've got Norris as well. And Alonso in 4.
  
  
    
  17:04:17
  
  
  
    Alonso at 2, Gasly at 4.
  
  
    
  17:04:24
  
  
  
    I've got so much shit on my tyres now.
  
  
    
  17:04:35
  
  
  
    Verstappen in 3. Just a heads up on timing.
  
  
    
  17:04:41
  
  
  
    If we need a mechanical change at any point then looking to do one lap shorter on this run. Tyres may not be able to go that far. Logan pushing in 4. Logan in 3 and there's a 6 second gap behind him.
  
  
    
  17:05:08
  
  
  
    Magnussen in 3 on a push, then Ricciardo out lap. Yeah, but if I go now, I'm going to go for about 7 cars on my push lap.
  
  
    
  17:05:21
  
  
  
    Magnussen still within two, there's no track behind him.
  
  
    
  17:06:12
  
  
  
    Okay, maintain the front, Ricciardo, in three on a push.
  
  
    
  17:06:21
  
  
  
    Just poor co-piloting.
  
  
    
  17:06:44
  
  
  
    Okay, so Logan managed a 13.9 on a second push. Potential time gain to give up a bit more in 8 to maximise 9 a bit more. Stroll behind you at 4 on a push. Otherwise no threat.
  
  
    
  17:06:59
  
  
  
    Cleared to open and go fresh.
  
  
    
  17:08:28
  
  
  
    Alright, I'll take a single slow plus 15.
  
  
    
  17:08:34
  
  
  
    Leclerc will be pushing. Do you think you need a change in the garage, Alex? Yeah, but we are way out of sync. Yeah, I know. It's a bit of everything at the minute, so we've just got to work our way through it. Leclerc pushing. We certainly don't have time to do a double core now.
  
  
    
  17:08:51
  
  
  
    Stroll pushing in 3. Just get the anti on where we can please. Oh my god, man. We can do a double cool but we're going to be tight on time for any change you need in the garage.
  
  
    
  17:09:10
  
  
  
    Hamilton as well then, clear 8 second.
  
  
    
  17:09:14
  
  
  
    No, it's OK. Let's just box. I honestly don't really need the forwards leg valve. I'm front locking, but it's all front locking because of bumps. And I feel like I'm...
  
  
    
  17:09:30
  
  
  
    The car itself is rearwards of the make-bel, but all the bumps are making me front-lock everywhere.
  
  
    
  17:09:39
  
  
  
    Just watch Hulkenberg pushing. Alright, we can box then.
  
  
    
  17:15:45
  
  
  
    Same tyre. Prep on the alarm this time.
  
  
    
  17:16:23
  
  
  
    Go switch to out, it's clear to open.
  
  
    
  17:18:08
  
  
  
    Thank you for watching.
  
  
    
  17:18:17
  
  
  
    Pressure is OK.
  
  
    
  17:18:26
  
  
  
    Floor OK so far.
  
  
    
  17:18:37
  
  
  
    That's just the tow link. Yeah, copy that. We've lost some info on that. You've got Verstappen six-pack push-in.
  
  
    
  17:18:49
  
  
  
    I'm snapping in three, then there's a 10 second gap back to Hamilton.
  
  
    
  17:19:01
  
  
  
    Hamilton in 4th. It's clear behind Hamilton. The number of boxes left is set. Go in.
  
  
    
  17:19:20
  
  
  
    Still clear behind 15 seconds.
  
  
    
  17:19:35
  
  
  
    You can hit the anti as well on the way in. Bottas still eight seconds back.
  
  
    
  17:19:43
  
  
  
    He's in sync with you. A knock-on out lap as well, so he was not pushing. He's 11 back.
  
  
    
  17:19:50
  
  
  
    Is Bottas on an outlap? He's on a cool lap. All the cars behind you are either on outlaps or cool laps. There's no-one pushing.
  
  
    
  17:20:09
  
  
  
    OK, steady on the way in. Still all clear behind. All cars behind on outlaps or call-ups.
  
  
    
  17:20:19
  
  
  
    10 seconds back to Ricciardo on a push.
  
  
    
  17:20:24
  
  
  
    6 back to Ricciardo on a push. He's the only one around you that's on a push. He's within 3. Everyone else on cool-ups. OK, Ricciardo with you now. And we are boxed this lap.
