Lando Norris
10:25:58
I think there is four, but it's 20 to go.
10:26:37
From what we've seen, everyone on wet tyres.
10:27:18
Lando, weather update. We expect this level of rain to remain for five minutes and then increase. So two minutes into the session, we expect it to start to increase.
10:28:17
And at two minutes to go, we will fire up with 30 seconds to go.
10:29:21
As you'd expect, DRS has been disabled.
10:29:46
30 seconds to go. Fire the car up.
10:30:01
Fifteen.
10:30:11
Five.
10:30:17
Track should be green.
10:30:45
And radio check please. Yeah, loud and clear. Yeah, loud and clear. I will do one out of 12 based on yesterday, although we think that has been resolved.
10:31:49
And radio check on the exit at turn 12. All good. Cool. Everyone on the full west. No comments from anyone yet.
10:32:24
There's currently yellow flags from turn 11, double yellows from turn 12.
10:33:30
Lando, possible the next lap the tyre could be too hot. It's possible.
10:34:14
Double yellows again in 12. I think it will be clear.
10:34:24
Track is now clear, but let's use this to cool. Verstappen is about five seconds behind.
10:34:33
Thoughts on the track? Verstappen is just leaving turn 8. The gas is about four seconds behind. Yeah, a bit of accurate planing down to turn 4. Otherwise, not too bad. Just low grip. Understood. Double yellows in turn 12 again, Verstappen. And yellow is just ahead. Verstappen just turned. Toggle the recharge button. Track is clear.
10:34:56
Verstappen two seconds, after that it's four seconds to Gasly.
10:35:09
The first car has pitted for Inter as it's Bottas. We'll keep you updated.
10:35:33
Yellow is turn four. Gasly about two seconds behind.
10:35:44
There's a gap behind Gasly of 9.
10:35:56
Ocon is the car behind now, turn 4.
10:36:07
Ocon's approaching turn 6, then there's four seconds behind him to Colapinto.
10:36:16
I can't believe it's just been turn 8.
10:36:21
We're just trying to get a lap on this tyre.
10:36:27
Ocon's about three behind.
10:36:37
Ocon still two seconds, then about four seconds to Colapinto.
10:36:45
Colapinto is coming up quick. There's a gap behind 2.0 DRS enabled.
10:38:26
And Lando, that lap, or this lap, will be deleted because of track limits. You're just doing another one. Bottas is slower on the inter.
10:39:30
Red flag. Red flag. No overtaking.
10:39:37
This is a car off track turn three.
10:39:48
Yeah, I'm alongside Oscar.
10:40:03
Box this lap. Stop in front of our garage.
10:44:09
It's going to restart in three minutes.
10:44:17
Yeah, it's a lot, a lot more rain.
10:44:24
This heavier rain is expected to last for two more minutes and then it will reduce back to class one or class two. Turn the car off when you get there.
10:44:39
Suggest blue B4. And use the left-hand toggle in turn 1. But we also need to back off the braking. One car has gone an inter. It's Biermann.
10:45:01
And we'll fire up with 30 seconds to go. Currently just over two minutes to go.
10:45:07
There is 8 minutes 50 of the session remaining.
10:45:19
It could be that with this forecast the least wet conditions are towards the end. I think that you could do four pushing, maybe five.
10:46:06
The rain intensity in the pitlane is dropping back down. BMN has already said that he'll pit immediately for full wets.
10:46:17
One minute to go.
10:46:47
30 seconds, engine start.
10:46:58
Twenty.
10:47:07
10.
10:47:18
That should be great.
10:50:33
Lando, happy to go straight into another lap. Time for four more push laps.
10:50:59
Gap. About six seconds, so we can cool the tyres a bit. How's the track? Yeah, wetter than before. Hulkenberg, time lap turn four, then there's six seconds to Verstappen.
10:51:22
And toggle recharge. Hulkenberg, five seconds. That's turn six. Then five seconds to Verstappen.
10:51:31
And try and cool the tyres a bit more. You've got Hulkenberg six seconds, Verstappen four behind him, Lawson four behind him. There's still this one Socar ahead and there's Biermann and Gasly together. Hulkenberg's five behind you. Hulkenberg's leaving turn 10.
10:51:53
Use all the gap back to Hulk, which is four seconds.
10:51:59
Hulkenberg coming up to 12 now.
10:52:14
Opportunities on throttle out of three, on throttle out of four.
10:52:52
If this isn't good, let's cool the tyres again.
10:53:04
So Holt's about one behind, then there's three to Verstappen, then two to Lawson and then a big gap.
10:53:12
I'm happy to go all the way back to behind Lawson.
10:53:20
Verstappen two behind, then Lawson two behind, then seven to Perez. The gap behind Lawson is good. Turn one, you need sustained brake pressure, not peak brake pressure. Lawson three behind. Toggle recharge, Lawson one behind, then seven to Perez. Double yellows ahead.
10:53:42
Five seconds to Perez.
10:53:46
Track clear.
10:53:50
Turn 1. Back up to the brake in 30 metres.
10:55:25
And Lando, strat 2, strat 2. There's 40 seconds of the session, so you've just got to keep pushing for one more time lap. Opportunities, focus on the exits more.
10:56:58
Just hold overtake when you can.
10:57:11
And we are boxed this lap.
10:57:31
And we are through.
11:03:10
Attention, the session starts now.
11:04:11
Lando, the braking for turn 1 is very similar to the dry line, so you need to brake on the outside and then come in tight into the apex of turn 1 to open turn 2.
11:04:55
And the first car I'll talk about will be Sainz. He's in turn one now. Oscar's the only car on Inter.
11:05:11
Sainz just leaving turn three. Then Leclerc, turn one.
11:05:21
Sainz, turn four ahead of you. There are six cars still to go.
11:05:29
Four cars now. Sainz is turn six. Leclerc is turn four.
11:05:39
5, 10, 8, 3 cars to go.
11:05:45
Two cars ahead to go.
11:05:50
One car ahead to go. Sainz is turn 10. Just Ocon who's around the corner from 12. Sainz leading 10. Ocon is just going now. Sainz in 11.
11:07:38
Quite a big flat spot on front right. Understood. We suggest complete the lap, then we're going to pit for an inter.
11:07:52
Suggest boxes lap for an inter. Sainz is potentially still pushing. Entering turn 1 now.
11:08:03
There was no major aquaplaning for Oscar on the Inter. He just did a 1.28.9.
11:08:22
And car on a time-lapse is Gasly, turn 4. Other cars pitting for inters.
11:08:41
And Oscar continuing to improve on his second lap on the inside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Box.
11:09:05
Box this lap. We're doing inter plus two.
11:09:18
Silver D9. Silver D9. Before you come to a stop. Silver D9.
11:09:27
Silva D9.
11:10:07
Lando, the Inter is quicker with more grip everywhere, but you'll have to back off the braking turn 4 by at least 30 metres.
11:10:20
There is eight minutes of the session remaining. So, in theory, it's four push laps.
11:10:28
We'll see how the temperatures develop.
11:10:38
We suggest using the left-hand toggle in turn 1 and turn 4.
11:10:54
In turn 4, brake on the dry line now. Three cars behind you are all on outlaps. First car on a timelapse is Tsunoda, turn to 7 exit. There's only one car ahead of you to go. He'll be gone by the time you get there.
11:12:27
Red flag, red flag. With Box's lap now overtaking, it's a car on the barrier at turn 2, so I won't affect you.
11:17:28
Two minutes forty. Happy to turn the car.
11:17:44
We'll fire up with 30 seconds to go again.
11:18:34
And Lando, just remember your braking points. Don't push it too hard.
11:19:07
So, Lando, coming up to one minute to go. It's three time laps and we therefore think three continuous. We would use Strat 10 for the first two, then we can use Strat 9 for the last.
11:19:47
30 seconds to go. Engine fire.
11:20:08
10 seconds to go.
11:20:17
Track should be green.
11:23:11
Lando, we think the next lap will be the best. Turn 1 braking was okay. Focus on the exit.
11:24:33
This is a Strat 9, Strat 9. Currently, there's double yellow flags turn 3, I'm not sure why.
11:24:54
I've got a red flag, there's a car in the wall. Easy, I can play into it. Understood. We don't have GPS in that car. It's one minute five. We're currently on the fastest of the 24-8, which is you.
11:25:13
Do I get another lap after this or there's no point? 53 seconds. It would be very tight. It was theoretically possible but very tight. So we can try and attack. There's no point. It's a yellow flag. Red flag, red flag. The box is left.
11:25:29
I'll tell you that means we're through.
11:25:57
And I've lost GPS, but we are boxed this lap now. We're taking, stopping for our garage.
11:31:06
Clear on the exit, please.
11:34:19
Three minutes. Turn the car once you get there.
11:35:16
Two minutes to go. We'll still fire up with 30 seconds to go.
11:36:09
Lando, we expect this rain, which is class one, to continue for six minutes. Just finding out what happens after that. We understand what happens in the fire-up.
11:36:28
So, Lando, we think the best conditions should be within these first five minutes. We think there's more rain behind that.
11:36:46
30 seconds to go. Happy to fire the car up.
11:37:17
Track should be green.
11:37:26
So, Lando, just a bit of update then on run plans. On one tyre, clearly at the moment happy to do consecutive until it gets too hot. If you wanted a pitstop, it's something like a three plus two.
11:40:38
Work on turn 3.
11:41:58
It's just Strat 9.
11:42:20
Red flag, red flag. We will box this lap, obviously.
11:42:34
There's a car off track outside of turn 11. Yeah, we're starting to rain more final sector. Okay, I'll give you an update when you get back.
11:43:46
Box is lapsed on in front of our garage.
11:44:33
OK, Lando, you are up a bit, so we think this will be a slightly...
11:50:00
Four minutes.
11:50:05
Switch the tyre off, can you get that?
11:51:01
And no rain is expected for the remainder of the session, which is seven minutes in length. There's a mixture of what people are saying about run plans between consecutive and push-call-push.
11:51:19
Can we have strat 10, please? Strat 10. And, sorry, what about push, push, cool, push? Or that's not possible? Push, push, cool, push, I think is possible.
11:51:51
There's not much margin on it, but it is possible, especially at the front.
11:52:11
Sir. That's OK. Two minutes to go.
11:53:17
One minute to go. More people are talking about consecutive laps at the moment.
11:53:38
Ocon behind you has been told to try and overtake you at exit.
11:53:44
Ocon isn't behind. Oh, he's two behind. 30 seconds to go.
11:54:07
10 to go.
11:54:18
Track should be great.
11:57:17
Suggest strat 9. Strat 9 and yellow G3. Yellow G3.
11:57:46
Red flag, red flag.
11:57:54
And car off in turn one.
12:04:46
Three and a half minutes to go.
12:04:58
Switch the car off again.
12:05:12
We think there'll be some Class 1 raining starting imminently, which will last to the end of the session.
12:05:53
Lando, difficult message for me to pass. If the conditions are slower, just be sensible. Obviously the race is in a few hours.
12:07:18
One minute to go.
12:07:47
30 seconds, happy to fire up.
12:08:07
Ten seconds to go.
12:08:12
Ocon ahead is planning a fast outlap and two-push.
12:08:19
Track should be green.
12:11:16
Suggest strat 9. Strat 9.
12:12:38
Push and hold if you can.
12:12:51
OK. Quickest at the moment. I'll keep you updated. Yeah, shit, turn 1, turn 2. And follow the dash, please. Follow the dash.
12:13:14
We start on pole.
12:13:23
It's tough to follow the dash because of the conditions.
12:13:30
Yep, OK, understood.
12:14:11
And we enter the pitlane.
