Cleared to stop.

And your cap to all exits C2, please. Cap to all exits C2. Number minimum 7.

Straight out, gap, exit.

Alex, I just see two. I just got four. Five. Six.

Gap 7. You're good. Do your lap. Speed. DRS in straight line.

Another straight into turn 10. We're seeing currently 1.1 track reset. Let's speed up for the track.

And you've got at turn 13, first car pushing, Norris 9, ahead of a gap of 11 to Alex.

Just Alex Tourban ahead. Norris 6 pushing. Let Norris go. Gap to Alex 9. Norris 5. Alex Tourban in the gap. Alex Tourban in the gap. It is good. Norris 4 behind. Norris 4 still good. Norris 4 and 3. And you go push.

OK, close the lap. You're going. Target minus one on the dash. Fast dash. Stroll opening six behind. Watch out. Stroll pushing six. Five. Four. Stroll three.

Watch out, Stroll.

Stroll 2. Stroll 1. With you. OK, so that was a good sector 1, a very crappy sector 2 and 3. Turn 8, 10, 13. Cost us quite a bit. And exit turn 17. And watch out, Ricardo pushing 6.

Recaro 4 pushing.

Ricciardo 4 and 3, followed by Tsunoda 10. Ricciardo 3 and Ricciardo 2. Ah, just Ricciardo 1.

With you. Tsunoda 7, pushing. Tsunoda 5, followed by Alonso 13, Tsunoda 5.

Tour de France.

Tsunoda, three. Steeds are getting minus one on your dash, currently plus one. Tsunoda, three and two.

Turn at 2. Pull up and down on the 8, 7.

And Alonso for 5.

Alonso, four and three.

And box, box, box, box.

Quali turn. Stop in front of garage. Feedback on flap, please.

You have quite a lot of forwards here, mate. Some entries. Might be the DFF more than the flap. I'm happy with the flap, I think. Copy. I think we just need to tidy up things and get a clean lap. Second run will be good, okay? Have a chat with Marco.

Okay, we're on target. Thank you. Number gap to a C2.

OK. Gap closed C2. You've been on time.

Don't last. We expect us to have a similar outlap to us.

And these are still not slow and should not be able to go in front of you. So, keep position, keep position.

Alex is improving quite a lot at the moment, so I expect much like he will. Just focus on that gap at C2. Stay good on timing.

So, Alex in sync. Just close this lap so we can push through. Gap to Tsunoda. Gap 4, 5, 6 and 7. Norris in sync. Just close this lap. Do your lap. Just want to back off. Turn 15, 20 kph. This was good. Thanks for watching.

Not very good.

Gap 8 to Tsunoda, 7. Norris will box behind you.

No fluid behind. Turn 13 you go out.

I have three cars prepared ahead of you.

Don't worry about it, Norris, he will box.

There's a straight speed in turn 16. Be careful on your rears opening the lap. Tyres are in a good window.

Gap head 9. You're good.

And you go push.

Okay, you P8, go in. Watch your delta. Feedback on the flap, I'll let you know as soon as I know if we're safe. That was a good lap. Some stuff to fast-charge, just turn 5 to tally up. Okay, we're safe going through Q2. Good job. So let us know what we can do to help, mostly losing turn 5.

Yeah, let's go up on the flap, mate. Okay. Good job. Happy to. Plus one. Remember, we're going to be on a used set. Stay on the flap and follow your delta, please. Currently positive.

Yeah, still on the flap. I'm also gonna have this set for the next lap because I had much less slip than we tested before.

Okay, stick tach at minus one. The dash is good.

Okay, so I need a P9, P9, so it's good lap. Again, a few things to tidy up, but keep building up on that.

Box, box, watch out, point line perimeter.

Stop in front of the garage. Quali turn 1.

Yeah, let's go up on the flat. Yep, yep, I got you.

Gap to SC2. And we'd like to repeat the hotlap, please repeat the hotlap. Gap to SC2. It's Norris, first car behind you.

OK, we're 4th in queue. That's good.

Okay, Alex is making his gap. Make your gap to him. Alex is making his gap. Still making his gap. Okay, gap 3. Gap 4. Gap 5. And 6. 7, you're good. Do your lap.

OK, turn 13, you go out.

Gaps are good. Two cars to a pit.

It's just Alex to open. Just close to your delta. You're looking good.

Remember what we discussed at turn 5?

Gap are good.

And you go push.

OK, close the lap. Yoko in. Target minus one on the dash. Fast charge in sync with cars behind.

Russell Hamilton just left the pitlane. No foot behind.

Just watch out Alonso. Alonso pushing. Alonso 9.

Alonso, 5. Give me feedback on that flap, please.

That's Alonso 4. I have no grip. We can also go up another one. Alonso 2.

Alonso, two, one, with you. Okay, after Alonso.

Ok, just have a second think on that lap. Try not to overshoot it. We can talk when you're back.

Alex, 31.0.

Okay, looking at what we did. The track evolution is not that high right now. And we were used, Alex was new. The snap doesn't help. And we were a bit early braking turn 1. So I think just on that used set, the snap hurt us probably more. Box, box, box, box.

Copy, pitlanes. Stop in front of your garage. Quality time run all the way to early.

I can see you'll have to be quicker.

Copy and lights. That's good, that's good. And your gap to a C2. Good position, all good.

And max speed, please.

We're good in the queue. Verstappen currently setting his lap, so he will be slow when we are on track. Boxing. Don't worry about him. Make sure you have your gap.

Everybody is still slow.

I'm going to start making this gap. I can't try to use the clutch, it's a bit too long on the clutch. And Alex, RAC2 now has gap 3. Verstappen will box. He's slow. Gap 3. 4. Make sure you have a gap. Make sure you have your gap. 5. And OK, you're good.

Just do your lap.

I'd just like to increase slightly the pace in 7 and 9, plus 10 compared to previous hotlap.

I'm not excited.

Alex, five ahead. Three cars to open. Remember Verstappen is boxing. Alex, seven ahead.

Two cars to open, Norfair behind.

Go out, please.

Alex opening now. Gap is good. No threat behind.

And you go push.

OK, close the lap. Then you go in, go in. Minus one on the dash. Fast charge, please. Minus one on the dash. Fast charge. OK, it's really tight. Really tight. That's P12. P12. Seven milliseconds to Alex. P11. And 31 milliseconds to Alonso. P10.

Fuck's sake. Fuck's sake. Watch your language on live on the radio, please. Yeah, that's fine. Don't worry. It was a good effort. There's a few things to tidy up, but it's only your third quali in F1 and you're showing Alex what you can do. So, yeah, great job. Amazing. Okay? P12 is a good starting position for tomorrow. We have a good tyre allocation. Don't worry about that.

Yeah, OK. Yeah, sorry, we should have been… Watch out, your delta currently positive, plus two. Remember, you need to target minus one on the dash. So, pick up speed, please. We'll talk when you're back. Focus on delta.

Confirming P12. Franco, it's a good lap. You put it together. I don't think we were quite there on all the tyres, but well done on your side. Everything you could have done is there.

Yeah, yeah, jumps such as that, at least by 31 milliseconds, it's very easy to be fine on lap time, any part of the lap, so yeah, it's a pity, because I think we could have gone through, but okay, we'll see tomorrow.

Box, box, box, box. Remember, you're at Parc fermé. Turn over gear edge. Wait bridge, wait bridge. Stop at FIA wait bridge. Engine off P1, then back to P2, please.

And happy to go P2, yeah, that's good. And wait for instruction from the FIA to power up again.

Okay, beautify up and go. Stop in front of the garage. I will show you. Remember, you're on a Parc fermé, so jump out and go where you're self-posting, please.
