So you can build your gap on the way out here.

Track is all clear.

Second one is dry, just...

Yeah, understood. We're happy to do this first push lap.

So Lewis has 12 seconds ahead of him. A bit clear at sector 3. Still a bit damp in Magnus Beckett's. They can afford to put the DRS on. So we're going for fast-slow-fast here. We strut to next lap.

Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. Exit Strat 1. So we'll target minus 50 if we can. Target minus 50 if we can.

Don't signal cars around us.

So you were purple sector 1. That main loss was just that middle sector.

We'll just keep on top of that Delta. Lewis has got clear air ahead of him.

But that was just too quick for inter-tyres.

Strat 1. Box, box.

Verstappen, five seconds behind, just completed.

B-Bal offset plus one.

And we'll have green 7, position 4.

All clear behind. Are we going both of the slicks? Yeah, we've got the tyres in the pitlane. It'll be a live pitstop. Go in. Just let me know. Plus point three.

Over there.

Reach out if anyone is struggling. Flapping turn. 15 is going to be tricky.

Blue 14, position 1.

So, caution in the pitlane. It's busy. Just holding Lewis.

We've got a yellow flag at turn 9. That's Perez.

Let's just keep working the tyres. Brake temperature is up. You've got Perez in the gravel at turn 9.

Cosley, yeah, let's get these wrapped straight away. Yeah, FM. We got that. Going.

So, box, box. We'll stop you short. Keep an eye out for stoop.

Brake fan front.

Yeah, we called it.

Two minutes to restart.

Switch off. Yeah, you've heard me. I switch off.

And, George, there is a light rain about seven minutes out. That would hit turn 7-8 first.

Copy. Just shout to me, it doesn't matter any lap here. If you see people going off, I think, turn 15, it's going to be tricky. Yeah, A-firm. As it stands, I think we need to do consecutives.

And you can go P2.

So that's 40 seconds of fire up. We think this may go three consecutive laps here. Yeah, copy. Just let me know on strat modes.

Yeah, we would be strat 7 for the first lap.

And 10 seconds to green light.

So we'll just keep it rolling.

And magic available for outlap here.

So, timing currently allows us three laps.

So that gap is now good to Lewis. I see him.

It's potentially a light rain in sector 2 in the next minute or so.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8.

AFIR, nothing at the moment. Good gaps ahead, so we'll be clear sector 3. Bottas, first corner lap, 15 seconds.

I'll be Strat 7.

I have understeer at turn 5.

Lucky rain didn't happen.

Train airlock A. A, fermé, Verstappen had snap at 9 as well.

What do I need on my dowshift?

Strat 2 next lap. Currently safe. P7.

Verstappen just done 31.8.

OK, so strat 1. Box, box. That's currently P2.

So we've got a slippery track where we currently are, and we'll just keep the temp in these tyres on this inlap.

No transcript available

So, box, box. I'm going to stop you short. Keep an eye out for stoop.

20 seconds to green light. Everyone's in the pitlane already.

So, DRS is enabled now.

Lando is not in the fast lane, so we don't need to let him in.

Are you still on plan to do... Yeah, AFAB, still on plan.

So we go for... just remind me of the plan. So we'll do two laps here. So two consecutives and then we'll do four laps at the end.

I'll let you know during lap 1 if I think we can do fast-slow-fast here and equally fast-slow-fast after. So, Albon, first car on the lap, three seconds. L2 can be clear of you on exit. And next car, Sargeant, at eight seconds.

No transcript available

Sargeant.

That's seven seconds on a lap.

Sargeant at 6 seconds on a lap.

Four seconds to Sargeant on a lap.

Sargeant now at three seconds on a lap. He's got Zhou 5 behind him.

Four seconds to Joe on the lap. Remember, any of these cars could be doing consecutive laps.

After Zhou? Clear after Zhou until Stroll at 11 seconds. Zhou at 2, so let him through.

Just make sure you get a gap to Zhou. Stroll has six seconds on a lap. Strat mode. Strat 7.

Here we go, fast, slow, fast, slow, fast, slow, fast, we're down.

We'll be tight on time.

So, we'll keep pushing here. We'll be strapped to over the line.

Nice!

Norris was 27.4, Lewis 28.3.

Strat 1, box, box. Just keep the pace up here. Keep the temp in the car. We've got Sainz at 5 seconds just starting a lap.

So Lewis improved to a 27.5. You've got Sainz at 4 seconds on a lap.

I've got Sainz at 2 seconds now on his lap.

Sainz still pushing.

Clear aft of Sainz.

So Alonso on the new soft tyre did fast, slow, fast. And he improved to a 27.3 at the end there. So box, box, stop on your marks and switch off. Turn point 2. Hang on.

So you're on the way, Bridge.

No transcript available

So we'll do tyres in the box.

Future driver ahead.

And are we good on time? So we've got Zhou car ahead. Yeah, good on time for three laps here. Can't hang around, but we're on time for three laps.

So we need to slide front axle here. Get the tyres into the window. Similar to Montreal here.

First car on the lap, Norris, eight seconds.

We've got Sergeant 11 ahead on his outlap. Full clear ahead of him. This will be clear in sector 3.

And I recommend using a bit of high speed to help slide the fronts.

That'll be Strat 2. Full hark on Minota.

1.2 currently.

Keep pushing to pit exit.

Keep pushing to exit just to get ahead of traffic here.

And then it'll be strat 1. Go for a cool lap.

So, Albon, first corner lap, five seconds.

4, 3, 2, 1.

Two seconds to Albon on a lap.

And Norris just on a 26.6.

Traffic? No-one at the moment. Clear. So you're currently P2, two tenths to Norris. Just completed his lap. All these cars around you are on outlaps or slow laps. So Verstappen, outlap.

So just keep an eye on the delta. Yeah, copy. I'll let him drive us by.

The only real loss there was a turn 6 entry.

Stroll car behind is Outlap, just pushed past Zhou.

No one on a lap behind will be strapped to next lap to get you up to Verstappen.

So, good to go. Good to go.

Complete the lap for learning, but we are safe.

OK, so strat 1. Box, box.

So, box, box, stop on the marks and switch off.

So that was just 10 long.

Hold.

So we'll be straight out at the DRS building a gap. We've got two ahead.

B-Bal offset plus one.

No transcript available

Wind feels like it's picked up again here.

Albon, first car on the lap, 20 seconds.

So Lewis has got 6 ahead of him. Hulkenberg has got 13 ahead of him, so this will be clear in sector 3.

Albon at 14 seconds on a lap.

I will be strat 2 next lap.

OK. Strat 1. Box. Box.

That's currently P1. Six milliseconds to Norse.

Give me some feedback on tyres. I'll be out lap.

So we're targeting a little bit hotter than you were on that first lap.

So, box, box, stop on your marks and switch off.

Happy with that. Copy that, thank you.

So, this could be a tight end of the session for the flag, for some people. So, just build your gap. How long? Two minutes ten remaining currently. So, build your gap on the outlap. Don't let people squeeze past you.

So, build a gap, build a gap before we get out on the track.

So we've got three cars, Piastri, Sainz and Alonso, all on top of each other, seven seconds behind you.

So you've got Norris ahead six seconds. You've got two to Lewis. But he's got 11 ahead of him, so just keep an eye on these cars behind you.

So, obviously, keep an eye on them trying to jump past you into 16. You've got six seconds ahead to Norris. He's got four ahead of him to Lewis.

You'll be strapped to next lap. Gap is good.

Nice job. Zubaba. Pole position, mate. Woo-hoo-hoo! You hear me? Is that 1-2? 1-2. Yes! Yeah! Nice one, team! Come on! Woo-hoo! Race to win tomorrow. Target 0.4, please. Target 0.4. Keep an eye on your delta.

So, we'll be into the pitlane, end of the session, end of this lap. So, we've got yourself, Lewis, and then Norris, P3, and then Verstappen, P4. George, a front row lockout hasn't been done for a long time. Congratulations for Paul.

We are coming.

Thought we were going to sing a bit of Sister Sledge there.

Sister sledge. Yeah, you're a bit too young for that, I'm sure.
