19:58:39
OK, one minute 40 to go. We're going to fire up in about 40 seconds. That will just be a normal MG UK start.
19:58:50
And we'll be looking to build that energy into the tyre.
19:59:14
MGUK start, please MGUK start.
19:59:23
And 55 seconds to go.
20:00:30
OK, so recharge off 728.
20:01:04
Let's introduce weaving where we can, please.
20:01:26
Okay, that's good for recharge on now. So we're going into a prep lap after this.
20:01:33
Apparently some light drops in the air but no heavy rain expected. It's not on the radar.
20:01:46
So a lot of cars still leaving the pitlane now, so we'll actually be in sync with those guys.
20:02:05
Okay, so prep lap.
20:02:14
Tsunoda leaving the pitlane now.
20:02:21
So if you're recharged off 728 once again.
20:02:30
Maintain that weaving.
20:02:55
Okay, so Piastri in front could be on a prep lap next time, so he might not be pushing this time. He's a lap behind.
20:03:17
Piastri, rethink prep lap next time.
20:03:30
Very good to go.
20:05:00
OK, recharge on. We've got Piastri pushing behind now. It was a prep lap last time. Let's go brake 5, please. Watch for Piastri. And then we have Gasly pushing behind as well. He aborted his first lap. Pierre, three seconds timed.
20:05:17
Next car, Tsunoda, slow lap.
20:05:22
Alright, so we'll focus on recharge as best we can.
20:05:32
Okay, my tyre temp's looking good. I'm just going to stick to that delta time, so just negative, please. Going for another push lap after this. Clear of traffic behind currently. P5 with that time.
20:05:59
Clear of traffic behind. We will have Magnussen coming through. Seven seconds back on a timed lap and a nine second gap behind him.
20:06:09
Plenty of space here.
20:06:13
Magnussen five and a half timed. Brake three, brake three.
20:06:22
And we're pushing this time.
20:07:50
OK, recharge on box watch for Russell. Timed lap behind Russell now.
20:07:56
Behind him, Hamilton also pushing.
20:08:02
OK, Hamilton, I think went deep. I think he's aborted. OK, and we are boxing now.
20:08:10
Okay, so Pierre has boxed. He only did one timed due to his aborting the lap. He's managed a 14.54. 14.54, so less than a tenth of an inch.
20:08:39
So, we are sticking with the plan for the second run, Esteban. How is the balance?
20:08:47
Transponder is OK. Understood.
20:08:53
Okay, so we are boxing now. Stand watch for the way. Bridge lights on the way and clear of traffic behind.
20:09:00
What's the flat for the second one? Three timed. Fast, slow, fast. That's the recommendation.
20:09:14
Turn in. OK, so we'll stop around the marks and switching off.
20:12:07
Best answer, brake 5 please, brake 5. Should be clear pit exit.
20:12:28
OK, we've got Sargeant going into turn 1 now. I think he'll be starting a time-lap. Five seconds back. If he's on a prep, we're in a good place here.
20:12:41
OK, let's introduce weaving, please.
20:12:49
Recharge offset 28.
20:12:58
Sartre behind, prep lap.
20:13:09
Recharge on. We are pushing next lap. Fast, slow, fast.
20:13:25
OK, brake 3. Three cars to go ahead. No traffic behind.
20:13:35
Car is behind on slow laps.
20:13:42
Fernando, outlap the car behind. Good to go.
20:15:08
OK, recharge on. Staying just negative on this cool-up. And then one more timed. Clear of traffic behind currently.
20:15:21
So Pierre did out-prep push. He was a couple of tenths up in the first sector. He's done a 13.3, 13.3. So the prep lap will have helped that sector 1. Let's see what we get next time. Cars behind out or slow laps.
20:15:45
We will have Russell coming through on a timed lap.
20:15:50
Russell is six seconds back.
20:15:59
Apparently Russell is the only car pushing behind.
20:16:15
Clear of traffic behind.
20:16:20
So about four cars to go in front, correction, five cars to go in front.
20:16:28
Three cars now. We've got Hamilton coming through timed as well. Four seconds. Clear behind Hamilton. All other cars on slow.
20:16:44
All cars behind slow laps. One more time.
20:18:12
OK, recharge on and box now. OK, unfortunately we are out then.
20:18:41
Okay, so staying negative on the delta on the way in. That's P17 at the moment.
20:18:49
PO through Justin, P40.
20:19:11
Yeah, it was a messy last sector there. You couldn't prep the tyres well. No, absolutely. And, yeah, we went up against it with the time rules as well. Sorry, mate. We gave it a go. It was always going to be difficult. OK, so we're boxing now. Watch for the waybridge lights on the way in.
20:19:44
Stopping on the marks and switching off.
20:20:12
Our day was always going to be tomorrow anyway. So we can focus on that. It's okay, we'll just get a couple of quick comments.
