10:33:53
Radio check. Yes, loud and clear. Likewise.
10:34:05
OK, so Bottas at turn 17.
10:34:17
So he's opening a lap seven seconds back.
10:34:38
Bottas at six seconds.
10:34:55
And radio check.
10:34:58
Yes, likely. Yeah, likewise. How are conditions? Yeah, it's good for Inter. Copy.
10:35:13
Bottas still six seconds back.
10:35:31
Bottas at six seconds still.
10:35:36
Sainz and Max in front to open laps.
10:35:44
Got six seconds to Bottas though. A bit more of a gap to Max here. He's at five.
10:35:51
What was that? Four.
10:37:24
Energy is good to keep on pushing.
10:37:35
Yellows at turn 16. Yellows ahead. It's like Gasly on the right-hand side.
10:37:52
OK, recharge on. Red flag.
10:38:19
Okay, so we'll do a practice pitstop here. So, a nice gap to max. There's no rush coming in here.
10:39:42
OK, so no rush on the way in here. Exaggerate this gap to max. Nice big gap to max.
10:39:52
We'll box, there'll be a practice pit stop and then switch off.
10:44:04
OK, so build the temperature. Piastri's the lead car at turn 7.
10:44:23
Expecting the first spots of rain now.
10:44:33
Piastri's at turn 12.
10:45:07
Wingtape V-Charge off. V-Charge off.
10:45:23
So, first push lap last time was minus 10. Left-hand side minus 15. Right-hand side. No. No. No fucking sign.
10:45:36
Build up, build the temperature.
10:45:57
So it's clear in front. I can't score.
10:47:33
Energy is good, keep on pushing.
10:48:13
Yellows at turn 4. Yellows ahead. Clear.
10:49:21
And she's good. Keep on pushing.
10:49:42
Left-hand tyres now above optimum. Let me know if we need a cooldown lap.
10:51:29
Energy's all good, huh? Yeah, they were clearly better.
10:51:38
So P1 currently max 40.3.
10:51:47
Main losses are in 6 and 7. That was consecutive pushes, but he's back to help now.
10:51:55
Main losses are 6-7 and 3-4.
10:52:04
We can go to mode 1, mode 1 and strat 7, strat 7.
10:52:16
So we've got Hulkenberg pushing 11 seconds back.
10:52:34
And Strat red 7. Strat red 7. Hulkenberg at 10 seconds.
10:52:51
Pretty clear in front, just Daniel to open the lap.
10:52:57
Hulk still eight seconds back, shouldn't be an issue. Daniel has gone, so recharge off when you're ready.
10:55:04
OK, we're going V-Charge on. Cool down and have one more push.
10:55:12
Okay, so max current is P1, 38.8.
10:55:21
Main loss is still turn 3-4 and 6-7.
10:55:40
Copy. So push toggle available.
10:56:21
So you've got Hulkenberg at seven seconds pushing.
10:56:25
A couple of cars to go in front but should all be clear by the time you get there.
10:56:31
Hulkenberg's at five seconds.
10:56:42
This is clear in front. Retarge off when you're ready. Push toggle, turn 6-7.
10:57:00
Push to return 6-7 and turns 11-40.
10:58:43
Okay, visual, John.
10:58:47
Let's box at the end of this lap. We're going to have a look at Ariba.
10:59:07
Sir Hulkenberg at 12 seconds.
10:59:51
Hulkenberg still seven seconds back.
11:00:01
Hulkenberg at four seconds.
11:00:10
OK, so box, practice pitstop and switch off.
11:10:27
So, should have a nice window here.
11:10:35
Tyres a bit on the cool side, so do what you can and build the temp.
11:11:28
Yeah, it's breaking my heart. I'm here.
11:11:35
Obviously no risks, but if we can learn something. Got a clear track in front now.
11:11:50
It's this rain until the end of the session. Track is clear in front. Recharge off when you're ready.
11:14:04
Strat 8. Strat red 8. Keep on pushing. Doesn't look too far off the track.
11:14:32
Sorry, repeat. Just save the time so the other cars aren't too far off.
11:15:23
What sort of lap time did we get?
11:15:28
Hamilton's just done a 40.3, Russell a 40.6.
11:16:33
Any better in the low speed balance? Front left is gone.
11:16:58
OK, Checo, I'm happy to box.
11:17:02
We'll go recharge on and box at the end of this lap.
11:17:18
OK, that'll be a practice pitstop and switch off.
11:28:58
OK, track is clear. Tsunoda first car, turn 18. 11 seconds back.
11:29:09
So go around, take the chequered flag and then back around for the grid stop.
11:29:39
Tsunoda at seven seconds.
11:30:18
Tsunoda is still five seconds back.
11:30:40
So, take the chequered flag and then back round for the grid stop.
11:31:38
I have understeer.
11:31:52
Yeah, where we are is good. Happy where we are.
11:32:16
So it'll be one burnout and a start on the right-hand side. One burnout, right-hand side. Second gear, standard release.
11:32:54
Second gear, standard release.
11:33:52
Is it raining harder now? Yeah, that little window has cleared. Rain's picked up. We're going to reach our drop. Box is at the end of this lap.
11:34:40
OK, so box, practice pitstop and switch off.
