Clearing the garage. Yes, we have someone. There's Brian there.

Watch out as you steer on the right with the rear right wheel. Yep. You're good. I would be straight out, straight out if you go push. Be mindful of the pit exit. Potentially slippery.

I will have to watch Berman and Russell Hamilton potentially pushing and give you the gaps.

Straight out. Sorry about the gap ahead. That's Beerman opening the knock. That's Beerman 10. And 9, 8, 7. Beerman pushing with it. 5.

Remember, max out of straight into turn 6 with DRS and B6, pushing B6, so good with max out of straight speed into turn 6 using DRS, B5.

And box, box, watch out, white line, pit limiter, box, box.

Can I have a radio check, please? Remember, we are first in the pitlane and you'll be parking in front of Alex, so drive around Alex, who is waiting for you in front of the garage, please.

Do I go back to P2? Back to P2, please.

Do I go back to P2? Yeah. Confirm. Can you hear me when I talk?

Yeah, it's a bit cut sometimes, but on track it was OK.

In the pitlane a bit cut sometimes. OK, copy. Were you aiming me on track, Christian?

That's Hadja ahead. Hadja. Sorry, that's Alex ahead. Alex. Open the gap. Open the gap, please. That's gap 2. Open the gap. Open the gap. Gap 2. Gap 3. That's AC2 already. So that's too little of a gap. Too little of a gap. We're targeting minimum 5, please, at AC2.

Copy that. Remember, that's no DRS into turn 6, max and up straight and braking to 6.

Watch out, Ocon, behind you, trying to overtake. I left Ocon. There's a large gap to Bottas. 8 seconds. Everybody is in sync. I think just one track position.

Happy to push more to the high speed from turn 11 to turn 13 on this hard lap. At times we'll be on the lower side. We'll be looking at consecutive to open the stint. No fail behind.

Copy, do I need to go out now? You go out, go out and no DRS in 250, no DRS in 250.

Okay, and there's five cars to open ahead, no threat behind. Five cars to open ahead, you'll have to queue. Number one to open with a gap of minimum five to Ocon ahead. There's no threat behind. Watch out the kerbs on that first lap. Could be tricky. Two cars to open. There's Hadza ahead. Two cars to open.

No threat behind. Gap 3. Gap 4. Gap 5. And you go push.

Just confirm you will keep pushing, opening another lap.

Okay, close the lap and you go cool. Targeted minus 10 on the dash. Minus 10 on the dash. Go cool. That's a fast slow. Maintain front, please. Next car behind you, Ocon. Gap 16, opening now.

Okay, you're doing good. Keep building up. I think turn the low speed 3, 4, 6, 7, we're better. Losing less to Alex. Currently the main losses are more from turn 9 to turn 15. You have one more push on this set.

I saw a clear behind us, so just focus on that slow lap. Minus 10 on the dash. Maintain front right.

OK, it's clear ahead, clear ahead, clear behind.

All good. And you go push.

OK, close the lap. You go in, go in. Alonso behind in sync. First car to open will be Stroll. Gap 10. So we just want Willem II into turn 6.

Okay, P2 is good. Watch out, wide line perimeter. And you might have to drive around Alex, stop in front of the garage.

Okay, stop in front of gauge. Engine off. P1 and back to P2, please.

I think the pit limiter didn't switch on when I pressed it there at the empty entry.

To follow the delta.

Okay, we'll be straight out, straight on, should be clear from traffic. That's Alex ahead of you in the pitlane.

Copy, do I go that? You go that, will be turn 9 go out.

Straight out. Clear pit exit. Gap to LX5 and LX6. You're good. Follow the hotlap. Remember, max speed in turn 6, no DRS.

I drop behind in 6th.

Prescar, I don't know if you sense, he's on a slow lap. If he's too slow, we can push through. He's six ahead. And turn 9, you go hot. Go hot turn 9, please.

Go straight behind.

Yes, four cars to open ahead of you.

OK, stay ahead of Adra. Keep track position. Two cars to open. Albon, sense yourself. Keep track position to Adra.

And Sainz opening, 3, 4, 5 and Yoko push.

Okay, close the lap. Your go-cord will take a double. You're going to be quick and slow. Target minus 10, maintain front. First car opening, Hulkenberg, gap 8. Hulkenberg opening, gap 7. Behind, Algar should be in sync.

Watch, I can go back six.

As you come back, 5, 4, watch out to go back, pushing, and that's 3, go back 2, and review.

Next car pushing will be Ricardo. Gap 18. So that's a double slow. Target minus 10. Maintaining both front please. That was a good first lap. Let's keep building up on that.

Minus 10, you want? Minus 10 on the dash, yes. Minus 10, it's a fast slope, please.

Copy that. First car pushing, Ricardo, that's within 9. We're happy with the balance high speed.

Some understeer, mate. Can we go up on the flap? Yeah, we can. The other guy's talking about that. That's Ricciardo 5 pushing. Watch out for Ricciardo 4.

And three.

Ricciardo 2. Squad after Ricciardo. How much flap do you think? Ricciardo 1. Do you want plus 1 or plus 2? Ricciardo with you.

Box, box, no third behind. Box, box, through the pitlane. Pit limiter is only in the lower gear. Wait to press pit limiter. And you will have to drive around Alex. Stop in front of the garage. Plus two on the flap.

Copy. Why Alex Koldavo is so much slower than mine? Behind Alex, please, behind Alex.

Do I switch off? No, no. We're going to rejoin. Just a flap I just made. You're good. And when he's done gentle, pull away.

Do I go out or go that? Go cool, still go cool.

We still target minus 10. Remember, we have to maintain the front and feed back your tyres. Watch out your gap to Alonso. Allez, C2. That's 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. You're good. And watch out Norris. Norris, slow in sync. First car pushing will be Dohan. Dohan, 6th pushing.

So first car pushing, 2-1-4. Mach number 96, 2-1-4, pushing.

And with you. The other one is quiet.

Okay, I've got a zone in at 5.

Okay, we need harder slow lap, harder slow lap, so push more, please push more.

Okay, focus on driving. We'll be turn 3, 6, braking. You can brake later. Other hand, release and watch out. Minimum speed at 16. You went wide and you got the snap in 17. Three cars to open ahead, no threat behind. Three cars to open ahead, no threat behind. That's two cars to open. Ocon, first car in front of you, gap 4. Nürburgring, gap 5.

No threat behind, Ocon opening. That was gap 4, gap 5, and you go push.

Okay, you go in. Go in. So we're going to reset the tyres before going to the consecutive. Feedback on the balance. What do you think going to the consecutive or where the front tyre this lap?

Better in high speed. I used the pull toggle and it helped me for the low speed as well. Watch out, Alex pushing within 8.

If I would do another Qualifying now, I would go more front wing for sure. And also a bit more front for... Okay, Alex, 5, pussy. Alex, 4. Watch out, Alex, please. Alex, 3.

Alex2 with you, next car pushing Verstappen, 8.

Ok, do you think the front was dying towards the end of the lap and you need to protect it for the consecutive?

Oh mate, I overheated the rears. So I overheated the rears towards the end of the lap. But I also started to use a bit too much front in the high speed and it was feeling worse through the fast section. Verstappen, Verstappen is clear. Verstappen 2 and 1. With you.

Okay, copy. I think in high speed you're going to manage, so I would be happy to go one down, so it would be box, box, stop in box, one down on the flap, please.

Copy that. And box, box, watch at white line pit limiter. So you will stop in box. Keep the engine running. Long stop, select neutral. And watch the light.

OK, you can go. You can have tyre select D1, mode 7, and go race. Go race. And that would be straight out. Straight out.

Track is clear. Push and complete exit.

Now we need both 7.

You could spot the car ahead of you, Bottas, on I-field.

Copy that. No, we need any Lyco.

No Lyco for now. No Lyco. We're pushing.

Okay, so you are pushing, but the one low of you pushing, fall behind.

Okay, watch out. Go on 2, pushing.

You're in a good spot. Alonso will pull away.

Okay, no management on 9. No Lyko. Lateral management on 13 and 15, please.

Okay, that's you taking the flag. So you need to cool down the tyres. Select tyre switch to hard, please. Cool down your race. Cool down your race. It's a slow lap to go back to the grid for the grid start. Everybody in sync, no fret. So just cool down the tyres, please. You should have target on your dash.
