So, Leclerc lap 1, 30.9 on the soft. So, once you're past the garages, you can build your gap on pit exit.

Perez has finished the lap and it's clear behind.

Target plus four from here.

So we're expecting Perez for a single cool-down here.

First car on our lap, Sainz. 20 seconds.

I'll be shocked if Perez is single. He's keeping the pace up to make sure he's not boxing or coming through the pits.

Might be. There's no one in the pitlane waiting for him, so let's not rely on it. Carlos Sainz at 13 seconds on a lap.

Sainz at 9 seconds. Still no movement for a ripple in the pitlane. Expecting him to go again next lap. Sainz at 5.4. Then there's a 6 second gap behind him. 3 seconds to Sainz. Up 2. Sainz is through. It's Strat 2. Good to go.

Strat 1. Box, box.

We've got Ocon starting a lap of five seconds.

Four seconds to Ocon on a lap. Now three. No rear. Two seconds to Ocon on a lap.

Next car on the lap, Gio. Five seconds.

So now, three seconds to Zhou on a lap.

Two seconds. And then it's five to Leclerc. So Leclerc on a lap lap. Four seconds now.

Three seconds. Two to Leclerc on a lap.

And then it's eight seconds to Valtteri.

Valtteri out 5 on a lap.

Valtteri now three seconds on a lap, two seconds clear after Valtteri.

Box, box, stop any marks and switch off.

I will stop you short.

Just the rear wasn't biting. Just sliding from the tyres. Very different to a P3.

Just build your gap on exit the pitlane.

Norris just opening a lap now. He'll be clear on exit.

Turn next car will be on a lap is Piastri. Turn 19 currently, seven seconds behind.

So, Piastri at 3, Piastri at 2 seconds and clear.

Target plus five.

Just information, but we've switched your delta to that first run.

Carburetor is updated. A-Fab, yeah.

One lap of fuel here. Two here. And Albon just approved to a 30.6.

And now Norris improved to a 30.0. So we'll be clear at sector 3.

Next lap will be Strat 2.

I've got no fucking grip, mate. It's totally different to FP3. Totally different. These tyres are so different.

So, straight on. Box, box.

Stroll first car on a lap. Eight seconds.

Just keeping our Perez as he is still pushing me. That's completed the lap. So it is Stroll 4.

Three seconds to stroll on a lap.

Stroll now at 2 seconds on a lap.

Next car, Ocon. Nine seconds.

Ocon at 5.4 seconds on a lap.

Three seconds to Ocon.

Two seconds to Ocon on a lap.

That's Joe at five seconds.

So Zhou now on a lap for three seconds.

Do you have that at 2?

Clear to Valtteri at 7 seconds. Box, box. Stop any marks and switch off.

Just keep an eye out for Stu. He'll stop you short.

I mean, are we safe or not? Yes, we are safe now. I mean, I don't understand these bloody tyres. I don't understand how we can lose eight tenths one session to the next. It just feels so different. So, so different.

So I'll be straight out. So I'll be straight out.

Ocon just starting a lap now. He should be ahead of us when we finish. And you've got Colopinto just finishing a lap. So Colopinto at two seconds just completing a lap. Magnussen, next car, also just completing a lap. Five seconds to him. So target will be plus four here. First car on a lap, Alonso at seven seconds.

Lotso, four seconds on a lap.

Two seconds on a lap.

So, cars behind are all completed, so just focus on the outlap preparation.

Gap to Lewis. Gap to Lewis, currently 5 seconds.

Gap to Lewis. Gap is six seconds. Strat 2 next lap. Good to go.

OK, so strat 1, box, box.

Man, I'm still really struggling out here. Don't know where all this grip has gone since practice. Affirm. Understood. So, currently at P3. Two tenths to Lewis.

Majority of this is coming at the start of the lap. So turn 1, 1, 2, 3. Repeat. The majority of that gap to Lewis is at the start of the lap. So turn a bit to Lewis.

No transcript available

Do we need to go new again, or do you think we can afford to use this big gap? I think the track is plateaued. Yeah, we'll talk about that when you get back.

Agreed. It does look like the track has plateaued here. Norris was a new set there, right?

Yeah, Afer, RS, you set 30.0.

Just give me a post of what you're thinking on plan B.

Let me know what you're thinking. Aero balance. Are you happy to just stay the same? I think we need to drop down 0.2. There you go. We'll do that.

I'd happily put the used on. If you look at Norris in Q1, he could do a good lap again on the used. He didn't go any quicker on the new. You're on the waybridge, you're on the waybridge.

So, just change the tyres at the box and then get going again.

You haven't told me what set, mate. Yep, they're all used.

I'm favouring used. Yeah, we're going for used.

And George, we think we need to be leaning on the fronts, especially into turn 1-2.

So Piastri just coming by, starting his lap, and then it's Ocon, 10 behind him. Booty gap to Lewis. Ocon, six seconds, starting a lap. Five, four, and then it'll be nine seconds till Leclerc starts his lap. Copy that. Yeah, six till Leclerc. Five, four, three, two seconds till Leclerc.

So target plus four. Now it's 10 seconds to Sainz.

At Lewis, six seconds ahead.

Five seconds behind Sainz on a lap. It's all clear once he is through.

Sainz now at two seconds on a lap.

So, all clear behind 19 seconds to Alonso.

Lewis, still five seconds ahead.

Alonso now, six seconds on a lap.

Lots of that 4 on a lap.

Strat 2. Good to go.

We are safe but complete the lap.

OK, so strat 1. Box, box.

I think we're targeting too high on the rear now.

Okay, understood. We'll make adjustments.

So, box, box.

Stop on your marks and switch off. Keep an eye out for stoop.

Are we going so early?

30 seconds to green light.

So, let's build a six or seven second gap on the pit exit here.

Senator, 2. 3.

Four. Keep building that gap. Keep opening it up. I've got it. A-firm. Just something to push into.

Target will be plus four here.

So gaps between all the cars ahead are pretty good, well spread out.

Just keep building those tyre temps. Good gaps ahead. Eight seconds to Tsunoda. He's got seven to Lewis. Lewis is gone.

Tsunoda has gone. Strat 2, next lap.

The red flag. Red flag, red flag. Strat 1, box, box. Delta positive. Sainz has gone off final corner into the barrier backwards.

So, fast charge on, please.

Let's pretend we won't be using these tyres again.

Is that 28.7 from Verstappen? 29.8 from Verstappen.

Set, box, box. Still stop you short.

So, just build your gap here to Lewis. Everyone's got nine 10-second gaps. Currently four, five.

Target is plus three from here, please.

So, Verstappen behind on his outlap, pushing through.

So just don't let Verstappen through here. Don't let Verstappen through. So we'll be tight on time if we let him through and he pushes you back.

We've got margin here. We've got plenty of margin here by the looks of it now. Just keep working rear tyres.

So, yeah, if we were 20 seconds unsafe on our delta, we'd be fine, but...

So it will be Strat 2 next lap.

Ah, sorry. Target 0.3 on the dash here. Ah, that was... lost it all at turn 2. Sorry, guys. That was a pretty good lap at the end. P4.

26 milliseconds to Lewis. 3.5 to Norris P1.

OK, well, good recovery after Q1. That was a very, very challenging session. Yeah, I felt it.

Captain Norris, Verstappen.

Just under a tenth and a half to Verstappen.

Yeah, good recovery. Good job at resetting that after Q1.

What was the order? So, final order, Norris, Verstappen, Lewis, yourself, 3 and 4, Piastri in P5, Hulkenberg 6, Alonso, Tsunoda and then Leclerc and Sainz rounding out 9 and 10. Coming into the pitlane.
