Track is clear ahead. Recharge off when you're ready.

Who's that final car? He just turned to the left suddenly. Magnussen, he's now opening a lap behind you, Max.

OK, next car is Bottas. He's at four seconds.

3.5. Let him through before turn 13, Max. Let Bottas through before turn 13, please. Don't get in his way.

Okay, so manage your pace here.

OK, cars opening a lap. Alex is approaching turn 1. Gap 2 seconds. Alex approaching.

OK, Sainz two seconds, Leclerc three seconds.

So Sainz and Leclerc coming through. OK, Leclerc's backed out. Norris though, coming through. Norris coming through.

OK, no more threats for now.

So, P1 now is a 14-0, that's Russell. In terms of sectors, it's three and a half seconds down to Lando in sector 1, seven tenths in sector 2 to Russell, and half a second in sector 3 to Hamilton.

Magnussen P2, 14-0.

OK, ease your margin. Recharge off.

Can we have a double slow, please, Max. That's P1. Things evolving quickly. So you've got Alex behind. Alex behind opening a lap. And then back on your delta.

Next car on the push. Sainz, five seconds.

OK, next one, Lando, two seconds.

Lando 1.5.

OK, the next car is Hulkenberg. He's at 5 seconds.

Hulk, four seconds.

Hulk 3.

So, Hulkenberg 2, let him through now, please, Max, before turn 13. Cool your tyres, let him through before turn 13.

OK, now you can manage your pace.

So we have Leclerc opening a lap, so let him through before turn 1.

I miss the corner. OK, no more threats.

So currently P1 is Russell, 13.2. That's a tenth quicker than yourself. You're currently P2. You're purple in sector 1. We're 2.5 purple in sector 3.

Losses sector 2. Exit turn 7.

And entry turn 8.

No more threats behind now, Max. Is he boxing or not? I have to leave the gap. Unsure, mate, unsure. But yes, make sure you have sufficient gap to Leclerc to open the lap.

Okay, he is pushing and Russell is boxing behind you.

Recharge off when you're ready.

That's not good.

What do you want me to do? There's a carry on there.

Oh my god, where's my lap time? What do you want me to do?

OK, we can box, Max. Box and recharge on.

On the way, Bruce. Yeah, dark is a silly fit as well. Okay, Max, we'll need a bit more detail than that. Not everything is digital, please, mate. Yeah, it's just not...

So let's have some good weaving along the straights, please, Max, just in case there's a bit of a concertina at turn 13.

OK, so Sainz on a push at three seconds, Max, three seconds.

P1 is currently at 12.8.

Sainz at one second. Recharge off.

Box this lap, please, Max. Box this lap.

OK, nose across the line. OK, thank you. And then we'll have to wait for Yuki. I can't make it now, I don't know what to say. OK, that's fine. I can't. You'll find her.

How long before the grid? We have one and a half minutes.

So, only Yuki, yeah?

Sorry, repeat please mate. Only Yuki, I have to let by. We're just discussing it.

OK, now we'll let both Yuki and Daniel through and the Alpine as well.

That's 45 minutes. Be ready in case he comes back. Yep, no worries.

And 10 seconds left.

Hold it there. Let Yuki through.

OK, we're going to have to start the day off, then.

Engine is running hot.

Ah, it's everything's OK now.

Thank you, Gap.

OK, so Russell opening his lap on the run to turn 1.

So, gap to Russell, three seconds.

Helicopter gasoline. I'm happy you did that on purpose.

That's pretty P2, Max. Six tenths behind Piastri. Mercedes 13.1 on the new tyre.

So what was the incident? The tyre has no grip. He just doesn't move out of the way in 6-7. He's just 1-0 seconds in front. Understood. Russell now 1.5, let him through before 6.

What are we doing here? New tyres or not? Double slow, please, Max. Double slow.

So, Hamilton at 2.5.

So Russell now, P1, 12.3.

So look out for Sargeant opening a lap. Sargeant coming through.

Is it going to rain more or not? Negative, Max.

So, now situation around me. OK, so track will be clear once you get there ahead of you. There's no threats behind. You just need to manage your gap to the car ahead.

OK, box this lap, Max. Keep up the pace on the way in. Box this lap. Keep up the pace.

Okay, so info Tsunoda on the push 2.5 behind.

Both cars ahead. Closing time-lapse.

And recharge off when you're ready.

Is it really still life again? Yep, not your best final sector. It's four tenths off your sector from Q1.

Ah, it's also the dark kids again. So inconsistent.

I'm going to box this lap.

So you've got Daniel at 2.5 max.

So, box. No DRS.

What's he saying?

So you have margin to work the tyres.

Recharge off when you're ready.

Perhaps a call, please, Max? Perhaps a call, please, Max?

The single core. The single core. These tyres are definitely out of their comfort zone. Understood.

Strat 5. Strat 5.

Tyres have to hop. OK, box is locked.

So you've got Stroll at three seconds on a push. Tsunoda still 11 ahead.

Stroll at 2.5.

And track is clear.

Had the slow button on.

Ah, I ran out of tyres. Fuck.

At the moment it's exactly the same lap time as Russell. Oh man, second one was good. The next one ran out of tyres.

But it is P2, Max. That's a good effort and very, very close to a pole. Yeah, wow. Very good effort. Wow. What a first sector. And that is 0.000 exactly the same time as George Russell. So, very, very good effort there. I think we really tried everything we could there, guys. So, good effort. Not a bad place to start tomorrow.
