13:57:21
And three minutes until session start.
13:58:26
And we need to switch off the engine for temperatures. Copy.
13:59:21
And one minute until session starts.
14:00:01
And you can fire up.
14:01:06
And we will need to build temperature as much as possible in this outlap.
14:01:21
Turn mode out. Mode out.
14:02:52
Build a good gap to Joe in front and mode push when you're ready.
14:05:53
And mode charge. Mode charge.
14:06:02
Alonso, five seconds behind pushing and behind him is Stroll, nine seconds. Currently P8.
14:06:26
And you can select SOC 7. Alonso 3 seconds behind and Stroll 9 behind him. Copy.
14:06:49
Stroll 7 seconds behind with Albon 4 behind him. There is a good gap behind Albon if you need it. Otherwise you can stay where you are and we will go for two push laps.
14:07:02
Tyres are overheating after one lap.
14:07:19
And SOC 3. SOC 3.
14:09:24
And good lap, Valtteri. Good lap. Currently P6.
14:09:34
And Piastri, three seconds behind, opening a lap. Behind him, Zhou.
14:09:41
Zhou, seven seconds behind. And we will box this lap. Box this lap for new Inter. Copy.
14:09:53
Zhou, five seconds now and a big gap behind him.
14:10:15
0-2, and a big gap behind Smith.
14:10:26
Is there any rain on the radar?
14:10:31
We don't see anything else for Q1. Okay.
14:10:41
Any update on flap? Keep. Copy.
14:10:57
And currently P9 with a few cars improving.
14:11:06
Ricciardo P3 with a 56.6.
14:11:22
And we will hold the car to find a good spot for traffic.
14:12:17
And still P10 at the moment with Sainz on a good lap. Sainz P13 for now.
14:12:29
And we will go for a build lap on the first lap.
14:12:38
Is that because of timing or because tyres stayed on B4? Before timing. Before timing. Okay. And watch for stroll on pit exit.
14:12:49
And Gasly now, five seconds behind.
14:12:54
Behind Gasly. Behind Gasly. Five seconds to Ocon. And then six seconds to Perez.
14:13:09
Two seconds to Ocon and Perez six seconds behind him.
14:13:21
And Perez six seconds behind. Magnussen six behind him.
14:13:38
Perez three seconds behind and Magnussen six behind him.
14:13:44
We do not need a fast build lap, you just need to follow the safety car reference. OK.
14:13:51
And watch for Perez now. Magnussen 6 behind him.
14:14:05
Magnussen 4 and then a 14 second gap.
14:14:23
And now Albon, 13.
14:14:27
Yeah, I couldn't follow the FIA reference because of the traffic. Understood.
14:14:36
And Albon 11 seconds with Sainz 4 behind him.
14:14:46
And stay in mode out.
14:15:10
And Gasly P3 with a 55.6.
14:15:16
Main time losses to Gasly. Turn 9 and the chicane is the last corner.
14:15:30
And try to keep your tyres cool.
14:15:57
Is this FIA time drive? Because I struggle to follow it.
14:16:07
Yes, it is the dry reference. It is the dry reference.
14:16:32
And consider high-speed position 12. High-speed 12.
14:16:49
That's Stroll in front and Alonso in front of him. Both cars should push this lap.
14:17:04
And diff mid minus one. Mid minus one.
14:17:14
End mode push when you're ready.
14:19:30
I am not in charge, but charge currently P8.
14:19:39
And a lot of cars behind still completing their lap now.
14:20:18
And looks like we are P11. P11. Good job. Good job.
14:26:27
And Valtteri, we recommend a slow outlap in these conditions. And keep us updated on track feeling. Copy.
14:26:41
Thank you for watching.
14:27:05
Track is similar to the end of Q1, so tyres can take one lap at a time. OK, understood.
14:28:15
And diff entry and made it minus one. You have energy for one time lap. We will do a push and then charge. Copy.
14:28:30
And some drops in the pitlane. This might be the best track.
14:30:41
And across the line mode charge in sync with everybody around us.
14:31:12
And currently P14. Sainz in P10 with a 54.9.
14:31:30
And Albon in P3 with the 54.7.
14:31:36
And main losses to Albon, turn 5 and turn 8.
14:32:14
And keep cooling your tyres.
14:32:18
Looks like Albon might be taking a wider line in turn 8.
14:32:36
And Valtteri, we will push next lap. If you are not improving, we can abort and we will fit another set of inter.
14:34:20
I have no grip. Yeah, understood. So let's box this lap. Watch for Perez, 4 seconds behind. Perez, 4 seconds and behind him Sainz, 5.
14:34:39
Perez, three seconds behind.
14:34:44
Front wing keep. Yep. Copy. Box, Valtteri, Box.
14:36:04
So, Valtteri, we will go for a fast outlap and then a build and push for timing and fuel. Yeah, OK. There's still a ball, right? So, hopefully it stops.
14:36:18
Understood. Some guys improving now.
14:36:53
And Perez one and a half seconds behind. Not sure what he's doing. I think he's on an outlap.
14:37:20
So, Valtteri, we see the rain might be picking up. We will go for two push laps. You can select sock 7. Sock 7.
14:37:33
And the cutoff is 54.7. Mode push when you're ready.
14:38:58
Track is way slower. I can't improve.
14:39:03
I'll try the next lap. Yeah, one minute 15, one minute 15 until the flag. Other cars are improving. Ocon just went purple sector 1.
14:39:18
And we can select SOC 3 for the last push.
14:39:23
Use some wet patches to cool the tyres if possible.
14:39:29
And mid plus one, mid plus one.
14:39:35
Cars are bunching up in the last corner and Stroll is eight seconds behind pushing.
14:42:10
It was a good improvement, Valtteri, a good improvement, but that is P14 for us. Copy.
14:42:19
Did he have much more? Well, any more.
