And if you have space, would you think of a take two burnout?

Mode 3. Bitly-Mitterrand. Front of the start.

Ok, good job. Children, mode 4 in the background. Take care on the first few brakings. Let's get up in the rhythm.

Behind you is Max. No problem if you want to let him by. I'll leave it to you. Will do for a bit of love.

And no one pushing behind for now.

Fail 1. Fail. Fail 2. Fail when you can.

On a heads up, we might have a few cars creating a gap last sector. We go for a build. No problem.

I will try to synchronize 8th gear before turn 1 on the main straight.

And still no one pushing behind. Everyone outlap. Yeah, copy. It's very slippery. Copy that. Take it easy. And the tyres are still cold. No problem to start a bit close to the car weight. We'll go for a build.

She wants to manage this outlap. I should let you by.

OK, we keep the pace up for one more lap.

Okay, Stroll is slow ahead of you. He should let you by. He's on cooldown.

Right flag.

Box, box, box, box.

Stop in front of the garage and switch off. OK, correction, stop in front of the garage and we do the brake test, please.

So you keep the engine running. When you do, brake, slack, forward, start. I'll give you the countdown.

OK, off-brake two seconds and back on for 10.

The snow is terrible in here.

Yeah, sorry for those. We've done it now. We won't do it again.

OK, I have a problem.

We just need some work on front tyres and we will be good to push first push.

We will stay in mode 4 so you can go for two laps in a row. We can manage that with tyres.

OK, you can open the gap to Ocon. Keep the position to Magnussen if you can. And good speed last corner. Copy. Charge off when you want.

We have Howard exiting the pitlane. He will let you by when you come.

You can keep pushing one more lap.

On the line, charge on and back off to cool rear tyres. Back off to cool rear tyres. Let's get ready for a constant speed after turn 3. Let's do it now, so it's out of the way if you're happy. Ocon 7 behind starting a push lap. Heads up. That will be constant speed position to 200. Ocon 3.5, pushing.

Ocon 2.5 pushing. OK, Howard 4 behind pushing. You can stay offline after turn 3. Howard 3 pushing. Constant speed to 200, 5th gear, if you can. Howard aborted. He's 2.5 behind.

Ok, very good. Back to constant speed 1. 0-1 on cool-down now, about it. Your lap time 21.1, Yuki 21.5.

When we focus on brakes on that coulomb, on rear tyres, Gasly pushing 8 behind.

Only loss is turn 7, we overpushed a little bit the start of the high-speed section there. Gasly pushing 3.

Gasly, push it to.

Gasly coming now.

Mode 1 in the background, sun position is very good.

We can try to go a little bit earlier on power. Exit last corner for the launch. We lost around half a tenth.

Charge off position is very good.

I'm gonna abort this one, switch next lap. Copy, next one is Hulkenberg 9.

Show us one behind this outlap.

Yuki improved. He did a 20.5, so six tenths. That's one tenth sector one, one tenth sector two, and three tenths sector three. Hulkenberg pushing three behind. Keep the position to Gasly. OK, too late. Hulkenberg coming now. Hulkenberg coming now.

We can open the gap next corner. Good braking turn 12 and then open the gap. Focus on that braking and open the gap.

Okay, no one is pushing behind.

Gasly 4. Gasly 4. Charge off.

OK, Colapinto opening a lap four behind. Offset forward.

Colapinto, 3.5, 3, 2, coming shortly. And that's it.

We brake a little bit late on turn 13 and lost an exit on its 3 tenths last sector. Sectors 1 and 2 are close to either.

OK, copy. Remind me again for sector 3. You can let him by if he wants. OK, that's it. So sector 3 is exit turn 13 on exit last corner.

We brake a little bit too late in both corners, so we can brake a bit earlier and focus a lot more on exits. Next car pushing Hulkenberg is 8. Try to stay ahead of Gasly, he's cooling down. Do you want double cool?

For the rears, yeah, I think so. It would be good. So for tyres, double cool is better. We lose probably a lap. We can't do that. I'll do one more and then I'll double cool after. Copy that. Hulkenberg 2, pushing. Go back in turn 12 if you can.

Hulkenberg coming down.

Ok, don't worry, go slower. Slower you are. No one is pushing. Charge your flask on air. We try sector 1. If you're not happy with tyres, we keep cooling down.

Gasly is free. Gasly going. Charge off.

Yellow turn 10, Albon out in the wall, red flag, charge on N-Box.

OK, take it easy, turn 10. There are two cars slow there. Albon in the wall, Beerman on track. Take it easy where you are, please.

Yeah, copy. They crashed into each other. Copy. Box, box.

I think rear tyres for the low speed there was just a bit tricky, but I found a better time in 1 and 2.

Box, box, box, box.

Stop in front of the garage and switch off.

Ok Liam, so it's a push, double cool-push, and then we will do a quick turnaround to go to the next one.

And there is a number of cars around you on the new soft, but we have a plan.

We need a fast outlap and good weaving down the straight so you can push on tyres, knock on them.

No transcript available

OK, Liam, we're a little bit close to the cars ahead. That's only three seconds to them. So, good weaving, good speed in the straights and open more in the next low speeds, please.

OK, let's try to push in those high speeds and in turn 12 and same again in the last sector.

Good braking at turn 12 and then offset zero. Drugovic is six ahead but he's very close to Gasly. He will open to him.

OK, I have understeer at turn 90. Go ahead.

Offset zero. Charge off.

Offset forward, single cool-down. Single cool-down is OK.

Copy. Ocon, it's a big chunk of time on the soft, so Yuki did a 19.3.

Magnussen, 19.6.

So, same comments from last sector compared to Yuki's hard tyre. We push a little bit too hard. Turn 10 and left turn exit. Still high speed. Yeah, OK. Copy. Yeah, OK. Copy. So, the braking point to Yuki is aligned. Braking point to Yuki is aligned. He has a little bit too much entry speed. And can't go on power. Yeah, copy. They are behind, but the cars ahead may be on double cooldown. They are on soft.

So we're happy to keep cooling down. Just a good braking turn 12. We open the gap afterwards and they will let you by with a good double cool down. Gasly is three ahead on soft.

So, good braking turn 12, open your gap, and if they cool down again, they will let you by.

Back to offset zero.

Gasly at 2.5.

Catch up as can be.

And you can push on your way in. Box, box. Not sure what Colapinto is doing behind you. Watch out for Colapinto directly behind.

OK, you can keep the pace up on your way in. Box, box.

OK Liam, so heads up on the soft, most people are in the mid 1.19. We'll show you a comparison when you come back.

Box, box, pit and test. Copy.

Kilian, so on your hard lap now to Yuki's hard lap, still it's a little bit last corner mainly. We brake a bit too late and we lose on exit to Tufo.

Engine 13, position 8 when you can.

On a bit of weaving, it's turn 6 and before turn 12. So we have Max on high fuel, 4 behind, but he's out lap. Try to keep the position to Max, please.

Over the three heads, max two behind on high fuel. Try to keep the position. If you can't, we have a bigger blast sector.

Yeah, there's no way. Weave in where you are. Good braking, turn 12.

Offset zero.

Open the gap more. Go slow where you are. Open the gap much more. No one behind.

Charge off and you're good to go. Remain dehors de la planche.

Brakes and tyres are good. Good job. We're in a good place.

Ok, double cordon, straight into your cordon.

OK, Liam, so it's a 19-3, Yuki 18-7, it's a couple of ten in each sector. We'll keep you posted.

Strat 10 for the next lap.

Russell pushing 6 behind.

Some cars may come out on high fuel. We'll have a look when you come to it. Russell is three behind pushing.

Copy. So we lost two tenths through the high speed. We overpushed a little bit too much the entries globally. So entry turn 7, we overpushed a bit and then lost an exit on the same command for turn 10. We lose more on exit than we gain on entry.

And turn 13 was good on match. But the very last corner is ISO to the heart. We lost two tenths mid to exit over pushing entry.

Sector 1, it was very good turn 1-2 and we lost a little bit on the way out of turn 3. Let's try to keep the brakes alive. One more cool down. Copy that.

In the end, the tyres didn't look too bad on second push of Yuki, so we have another go at it. One more cooldown. We have a few cars starting to exit on high fuel. We'll keep an eye on it for our lap.

On offset two for the next cool-down, please.

OK, Antoinelle is starting a time-lapse 3 behind.

Antonini 1 coming now. Okay, good job. Okay, that's Sainz high fuel just exiting the pitlane and we will open a gap in the last sector.

We have Piastri on high fuel 7 behind. There is a big gap behind Piastri. You can let Sainz by, let him pull away.

Then Piastri is pushing. Our target is to open the gap to Piastri.

Piastri is free pushing. You can do your thing on the bulletin board when he comes.

OK, now it's important to keep that position. Next car is 17 behind. So we open that gap to Piastri but keep the position. Next car is Max Longren.

On the way, vehicle, next straight on B412, please.

OK, we are good at the back. Max is backing off.

So just focus on your weaving and braking at turn 12 and we open the gap at turn 13.

Ok, good weaving, good braking. We open as big a gap as we can at turn 13.

And you can do low speed weaving between 12 and 13 while you're waiting. Open the gap where you are. Offset zero.

Good job, charge-up.

Keep the pace up. Push, push. Let's try to get a practice start.

OK, Liam, we're in a good place. It's still early days for us. We look forward to the next session. Let's focus on the start now.

Copy. Do you want me to back off or keep pushing? Negative, keep pushing for timings.

When you can, not urgent, multi P8, torque position 6.

Box, box, box, box, through the pitlane for practice tours.

Charge off mode.

Mode 3. We go straight out for the practice start. Do I stop here to do practice start or not? Practice start, end of the pitlane please. Yes. No tyre warming. So pit limiter off for the practice start. And watch out for traffic once you're on track. With a few cars last corner.

Same target as before.

OK, can I let this go, boys?

I move towards 6. I will stay on to take the flag. The Aston ahead is slow.

We have Magnussen pushing two behind, so keep the pace up, or if he catches you, you have to let him go.

Magnussen, the one behind.

Magnussen pushing behind you. Don't hold him up.

On the whole lot, directly behind him, pushing as well. OK, whole lot behind you now.

Oh, that's it. Gasly 5 behind.

Press and hold overtake five seconds to manage your battery, please.

One more time, one more time.

You can close T3. Offset 1.

Mode 12 on the line, on back of 4 tyres. We go to the grid. Back of 4 tyres. Let's try to cool down the tyres so it's representative for the start.

Copy. Do you want charge 1 or 1-0? Negative.

Okay, Léa, both of the starts, you were at 5.7 seconds.

Copy. Strat 11. Currently 10.

The only thing is to wake up the brakes at turn 12 on the last corner.

That will be click of a tick, one tyre warming. Click of a tick, one tyre warming. Mode 3 for the start.

On offset one click forward. Brakes are on the low side.

Repeat, what side, left side or right side? Right hand side, right hand side, as far forward as you can. Copy. One tyre warming.

Let's try to reach our target. We were five shallow previous attempts.

Mode 6. You're good to push for pit entry. Watch your braking, turn 1.

Static pitstop on switch off all the bikes. Focus on position.

Oh, that was 20 long, Liam. Yeah, copy. I was... Yeah, that was long. Copy.
