08:44:35
Thank you for Joe. Bottas is six, five seconds behind you now.
08:44:58
Oscar Ocon has stopped on track in turn 17. Exit. This could go red.
08:45:08
Red flag, red flag, delta positive.
08:45:17
And a reminder for no overtaking. We're boxed this lap. So Ocon has stopped on the left-hand side between turns 17 and 18.
08:45:51
Oscar, the launch you did was 2% deep.
08:46:14
Oscar Ocon is getting out of his car now, so just be extra careful past turn 17-18. He's on the left-hand side between 17-18.
08:46:37
I'm going to box this lap, box this lap. We'll stop in front of our garage. Don't drive through the box. Drive round the box and stop in front of our garage.
08:52:54
Oscar, session will start in one minute and 20 seconds. One minute and 20 seconds. When you get your place in the queue, you can switch off.
08:53:33
That's 45 seconds.
08:53:58
OK, engine start.
08:54:13
Five seconds now.
08:55:26
Sir, very light drops of rain.
08:55:31
So far we have not seen them affect the track at any point.
08:58:01
Okay, reminder for brake temperature turn 1. Oscar, I suggest to do push-cool-push here. We'll see if we get the chance to assess a used tyre at the end of the session.
08:58:23
White H3, position 10. White H3, 10.
08:58:28
Parallel pin to 3.
08:58:42
White H9, position 10, White H9, position 10.
09:01:48
Box and stay out. I'll pit and stay out.
09:02:04
Okay, we've got Tsunoda opening lap, eight seconds.
09:03:03
Red flag, Oscar, red flag. Delta positive for a boxed lap. This is for Behrmann in turn 1, where you are the track should be OK.
09:03:22
Purple C7, position 8. Purple C7, position 8.
09:04:01
Great work. Box this lap. Box this lap.
09:04:07
Step away from the box.
09:04:17
And stop on the marks, Oscar.
09:13:12
OK, car behind Stroll should be in phase.
09:14:08
Cars around are still all in phase.
09:16:43
Form the brakes.
09:16:51
Verstappen will have one more go. He can afford a slow cooldown lap as the round are in phase.
09:17:22
Oscar, consider orange torque 10 for the used tyre. Orange torque 10.
09:17:35
White H9, position 5. White H9, position 5.
09:18:06
So, Oscar, the plan will be to abort the next lap. We're expecting Zhou to box, which will give you pretty clear air ahead of you. Maybe just cars on out laps.
09:18:19
Coming. I'm happy that you practised the pit entry so you won't need to switch recharge on. You can push to the pit entry and practise the pit entry at the end of this lap.
09:20:32
Box this lap, box. Copy, box.
09:20:48
That's good for now. Okay, they'll stop you short. We're not changing tyres. Lay rubber from the box. Drive straight out the box to avoid carry.
09:21:09
That will be clear when you join.
09:21:20
Currently yellow flags turn 3. Gasly in the runoff turn 3. Take care as you approach.
09:21:30
It looks like Gasly will get going again.
09:21:47
Slippery here. Hard to track here.
09:21:52
Cars behind are in phase.
09:22:05
So am I staying out now or coming back in? Negative, we'll box this lap. Box this lap. Copy. If you want to practice pit entry again, go strat 5 and recharge off before the final corner.
09:22:47
Okay, we'll be boxed this lap.
09:23:24
Oscar Perez. Stop on the mark. And engine on.
09:23:51
Stop in position. Rear was 5 right, otherwise good.
09:29:24
Next car is Leclerc. He's turned one now. Five seconds. Leclerc's just finished a lap.
09:29:59
Flats drop 1% deep. Drive out with slightly conservative.
09:30:54
OK, you'll take the chequered flag this time. Warm the brakes into turn 1.
09:31:04
Purple C13, 7. Purple C13, position 7.
09:32:29
Okay, launch instructions. No bite point find. One ramp at the back of the grid. One burnout. Right hand side. Standard drop.
09:32:48
Try and make it a long burnout. So one ramp, one long burnout.
09:34:32
Okay Oscar, let's slow middle sector. We want to open a gap to Lando. He's currently 10. I need at least 15.
09:34:42
Clutch drop 1%, otherwise good.
09:34:57
Gap to Lando is 12.
09:35:13
Gap to Lando now 15.
09:35:20
We'll do the CSLs as well. So the CSLs, the first one is purple C13 for 160 kph and then C12 for 240 kph at turn 16. So purple C13.
09:36:14
Pitstop practice, then engine off.
09:36:31
Oscar, if you could stay in the car, we'll just do some clutch practice.
09:37:34
Oscar, we're going to swap to the spare steering wheel.
