Straight out, straight out. Go that out at turn 12. Piastri, 18 behind in sync and do your tyre prep.

There's a yellow turn 5-6 for Verstappen. Base wheel droning.

I'm not right behind. I can't do 18 in sync.

Okay, track is improving. I'll exit at 45.1. Track is currently 9 tenths quicker than end of P1. Expect Verstappen to beat Norfolk behind. You are hot.

Okay, Verstappen may open, no fault behind, so make sure you have a gap of five to him. You have currently four. So remember, fast, slow, fast, free push. Take it lap after lap. Build up. Verstappen opening. And mode 2, please, and your go push. Mode 2 and go push.

Just feedback, turn 7, no need of quickflicks. Turn 7, no need of quickflicks. Gap at turn 8 is good.

Blue 6, position 3, please. Blue 6, position 3. Gasly 4, pushing.

Gasly 2 and with you and I need fast charge. Gasly with you and 0.9.

Okay, I thought the car would like diff mid 4. Diff exit 5, please. Diff mid 4. Diff exit 5. Exit for the entry. Nice, Tsunoda, 5, pushing.

Tilda, two, and one, with you.

I'm in focus turn 6. Remember the compromise between 5 and 6. And the exit traction is where we lose.

Now looking good on sight. I'd assume that 13 ahead.

I have no grip.

OK, after turn 15, go in. Fast charge.

So, go in, fast charge critical, stay flat at the pit entry. Box, box, Vipa come, flap.

Happy 2-0-1.

Copy, pitlane. So, stop in box, long stop, so select neutral, we'll hold 5 seconds. Now we're gonna up on flap as discussed.

And green 10, position 12. Please green 10, position 12. You go hot. And then we go red after turn 2. And the hot lap, same hot lap as the P1 soft run.

OK, straight out, straight out. Clear pit exit. We'll have to watch Alonso and Albon. Alonso opening, Alex in sync. So Alonso, watch out Alonso 1. Alonso with you. And Alex in sync. So just do your lap.

OK, no, straight behind. Just do your lap, your go-round.

I'll call it in sync with you.

And can I have blue 6 position 4, please? Blue 6 position 4.

Expecting to push through Tsunoda, Bottas and maybe further up. Try to hold position on Ocon.

Tyre selection soft, please. Tyre selection to soft.

You go out and you have P3 pushing, P3 pushing. P3 pushing, three cars ahead to open. After P3, no thread. P3, two. Watch out P3, please. P3, one. And with you. And just have three cars to open. So I'll have to give him weight a bit. Remember, you target a gap of five, there's no thread behind. Just Tsunoda to open. Gap right, two. Tsunoda to open. Gap right, two. And gap, three. Gap, four. And you go push.

Okay, close the lap. Remember, late cross. Tsunoda ahead, closing the lap as well. Pia and Russell the same, so it should be a sync around. First car opening will be Alonso exiting last corner now, and he will target zero on the dash, dropping rear.

Go cool, fast charge. Go cool, fast charge. First car pushing Alonso within 14. Can I get green 12 position 14, please? Green 12 position 14.

Okay, that was a good lap. Losing two turns, sector 1 to Alex. Sector 2 and 3 are good. So Russell in sync. Just do your own slow lap.

And second one is turn one, eight metres on brakes.

That's a good first lap. So, let's build up on that. So, next lap, I don't want the full eight metre. Just build up. Go for four or five, whatever you feel confident with. Don't go for the full. Then we'll have a third lap to try again, okay?

Yeah, I'm being quite gentle under brakes.

Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. Keep it there.

Remind me of the target for the cool-down.

OK, I have Stroll 6 pushing. After Stroll, Gasly 13. So Stroll 5 and Gasly 12.

Russell Stroll, three.

Stroll 2. One shot Stroll. Gasly 8. Gasly 7. The glass is quite.

Gas in 5... 4...

Gasly 3. Watch out Gasly.

Okay, open the gap to Gasly. Make sure you open. That was a good reaction on Gasly. Gasly at 2, 3 and 4. And you go push.

I touch the wall with my rear left. Okay, that's a go. Go in and box. Slow in, slow in, please.

Okay, copy. That was good. I think you were up until the issue at the castle, so that would have been a good lap. Good job, mate. Box, box, watch out. Ocon behind you within one. Ocon one, watch out. And with you. Clear behind and box, box, watch out. White light at the middle.

Copy, pitlane. So, slow in, box on, max engine off.

And which colour was it you touched?

In the castle, so it's T9, the right side, rear right. Okay, rear right, at the exit of turn 8. Yes.

...anywhere ahead of, quite a lot ahead of you. So, yeah, wait to give you feedback.

Okay, you blip, burnout button, go burn.

End of pitlane start. End of pitlane start. Gasly ahead of you.

Go right, pushing from the right. Leclerc behind you is slow. Keep position.

OK, Piastri ahead of you on I-Fuel as well. Gap 4. We appear where we are. Can I have blue 7, position 4? Blue 7, position 4. And you're going to be doing 10 time laps.

Copy. If any advice or tools for the race, just let me know.

Just as a suggestion, use your teeth and meat to balance the car. You can go up and down as you know where it is. You can go up to P6, P6, P6, P6, P6, P6.

Copy. Copy that.

So our lap time target is in 1 minute 50. I want to start Leico and watch that slip turn 7, entry and exit.

Currently, I'll be with base, I'll feed back your management.

OK. Suggestion to go through the brake balance at least 0.5 and watch out your throttle application, early pick up. And Lyko, we're targeting only level 1 at the moment. With you achieving 1, we want to target level 2.

Can I have green 10 position 3, please? Green 10 position 3.

Okay, keep back turn 5, 6. You're using the throttle too much to rotate the car. Watch out. It's okay, we need to be on top of that management, okay?

OK, 5 more laps. We need to increase Lyco. Turn 7 and turn 15. Increase Lyco 7 and 15 and we need more slip management all over the lap. More slip management.

Okay, I need to get these rears under control. So if we can take it, I'd like to move the brake balance forward at least half a percent, maybe one, and you can lock the diff mid. You can go plus one or plus two on diff mid.

Can I have green, green, position 2, please? Green, green, position 2. It's for your entries. And on the next lap, I would like to start using anti-overtec in turn 4, 5, 7, 8 and 15. Start practicing anti-overtec in these corners, please. Repeat the corners.

I would be into turn 4, 5, 7, 8, 15. 4, 5, 7, 8, 15.

Okay, I need more focus on that slip. I see on that lap, lap before, I need to be under control. At the moment it's not.

If you can take brake balance forwards, that's the one thing to help you, but you mostly need to focus on this exit slip, get that back under control and keep practicing the anti-overtake next lap.

And Lyco, target level 3, increased on 3, 7 and 15. Remember the anti-overtake as well, please.

Early overtake turn 16.

And the next lap, keep practicing the anti in turn 4, 5, 7, 8 and 15. We don't see much. Turn 15 was OK this lap.

I am pressing it in a low-score race.

You're probably pressing too late.

Okay, correction, you need to be full throttle to do it. You should do it before being full throttle.

Green line position 14, please. Green line position 14.

Okay, understeer on this lap way better. So you'll be taking the flag, you'll be focused on tyre cooling, rear tyre cooling and tyre switch to medium. So you're taking the flag, cool the car, cool the rear tyre, tyre switch to medium. No foot behind, Gasly 14.

Green 9, position 7, offset.

That was green, 9.14. Rear tyre cooling, please. And PU cooling, please.

Okay, so focus on that cooling. Clear behind Gasly's floor as well. So I will talk when you're back, but a good session overall. A lot to discuss, a lot to do better tomorrow, but that's a good session, mate. So you'll be the second Williams car, so I'll give you the side. I'll confirm target and burnouts.

And from turn 12, focus on Pucullin, please.

I'll be left-hand side, please left-hand side. Three burnouts, three burnouts. P-U-TAP OK. Target as done earlier in session.

Your previous start was 5 shallow, 5 shallow. Wait, what side? The previous start you did was 5 shallow. What side? Left, left.

What a use.

You're supposed to move as forward as you can till you start up.

Okay, go in, go in. Yeah, I copy. There will be pitstop and session gap to LX is good. Can I have VLIM in to turn 3? VLIM 2 to turn 3, please.

Okay, that's box. Box will be pit stop and session. All marks. Engine off.

What a difference of balance all tyres could learn a bit.

Yes, as fuck spots your core form. Watch out for white line perimeter.

Copy for that. Live stop. All marks, all brakes, engine off.

OK, we're back in, just jump out. You can come if you want to have a quick chat before the debrief with the headset. Yeah, copy. Thank you guys for all the hard work. Sorry for that, everyone. Thank you, mate. Super quick, Tom. Thank you, guys. Thank you, everyone.
