10:31:52
Are we the last contact? You are. Albon is just about to start a timed lap.
10:32:06
Sir Albon will be ahead of you and then we've got Norris starting time lap.
10:32:12
Copy. The best way to go about this is telling me what the others are doing at times. It's, you know, the end.
10:32:18
Sorry, I only heard other people talking. I didn't hear what you said. I said the best way to go about this session is to really let me know. Keep your eyes open.
10:32:39
For a car off at turn 12 already. Ocon coming past. Lawson's car is moving now. So Tsunoda seven seconds behind time lap. Six seconds.
10:33:00
Mode K2 please. Mode K2. Tsunoda three and a half seconds behind. Time lap.
10:36:54
21 second gap behind you if you need it. Tsunoda one and a half ahead. Tyres are just about in their operating window.
10:37:04
Wait. Just keep waiting. I'll give you a call. Keep waiting.
10:37:10
Good to go, good to go, good to go.
10:38:14
We kick our ipses.
10:38:18
Negative, Molly. Nobody on inters. Going quickly.
10:38:50
So keep pushing, Olli. Tyres are just coming into the working range. Inters would not be hot enough at this point on our car.
10:39:00
Yeah, the tyres are over-eating.
10:39:05
Stand up. Back to hot.
10:39:14
We don't see the Olli, sorry. You're getting quicker.
10:39:29
Red flag, red flag, red flag.
10:39:41
So no overtaking. Stay positive on your delta.
10:39:52
So, situation is only Bottas, Ram, Inters. He's the second slowest car on the track at the moment.
10:40:00
...and was only matching on the straighter parts of the track, but the problem is we're not getting tyre temperature quickly enough, and I think if we went on inters, or if we had gone on... The wet is terrible. Yeah. The problem is it's overheating. Yeah. I know it doesn't look like it, but it's overheating.
10:40:53
Yeah, copy. I couldn't keep it at alter. It's too fast for this condition.
10:40:59
Yeah, so obviously we've got a choice to make. Bottas was struggling on his enters and we're concerned. But the question is, are we just overbalanced on our wets? We're not going to set a meaningful lap time on the wets. Yeah, okay. So we have to put the enters and survive and then build up the temperature. Copy that. Do you think that the car was overbalanced on that last run?
10:41:23
The tyres are just, it's impossible to get a read.
10:41:49
We're expecting track conditions to get worse, Ollie. That's the problem.
10:44:13
Heavy rain, Ollie. You're going to have to take it really carefully.
10:44:47
Switch off the engine, please. We'll restart on ERS.
10:45:06
So we're expecting that we'll have to come back straight in, Oli. We don't think you can do a time-lap in these conditions on the Inters.
10:45:14
We can do a pitstop now. Yeah, we can do a pitstop. Depends if they actually let the session run.
10:45:22
Yeah, sorry guys.
10:45:28
Yeah, it's all just part of the experience, Ollie, but we do have information on radar that tells us what's going on and sometimes we have to go with that, so in this case I think it was the wrong call to go on the interval.
10:45:44
Close, OK. I need time. Yeah, exactly.
10:45:55
Can you go back to P2, please, Oli? P2 on the ignition.
10:46:10
So just over one minute to the restart, to the start.
10:46:19
Let's start the engine please, Ollie. Start the engine.
10:46:24
One minute.
10:46:30
So just be very careful on this lap, Oli. We're going to come in.
10:46:36
Go into the slow lane. Go into the slow lane, we can pull the car back. Go into the slow lane, we can pull the car back.
10:46:46
Nico is in the way. He needs to move a tiny bit forward.
10:47:10
Stop before the line, stop before the line, stop before the line, stop before the line.
10:47:20
If we refit inters, we need a different set. Yeah, no worries. Yep, we'll do that.
10:47:30
Could you select tyre 7 on the dash, please?
10:48:20
Thanks for that. No worries.
10:48:30
So, make a gap two cars ahead. You've got Russell just come round you, obviously. He's going, that's fine. Oh, that's...
10:48:49
You've got Verstappen right behind you, Albon's one second ahead, but he's right with two other cars, Russell and Tsunoda.
10:49:03
1.7 seconds ahead, 1.8 seconds ahead, 2 seconds ahead, 3 seconds. Good to go, good to go.
10:49:14
Gasly, time lap two seconds behind. Three seconds behind, we'll have a Gasly time lap.
10:49:22
Gasly coming past now. No other threats at the moment. Verstappen four seconds behind.
10:49:31
Norris time lap five seconds behind.
10:49:36
The track is pretty much reset. Copy.
10:49:42
Did you take balance out? Negative.
10:49:57
Confirming we did nothing to the bounce, Oli. Brake temperature, please. Brake temperature if possible.
10:50:06
Norris time lap four seconds behind.
10:50:14
Norris, two and a half seconds time lap. Good to go, good to go, mode push.
10:50:23
BC4 when possible.
10:52:02
Oli, we've got no time for pitstops, so we're running to the end of the session, which is in four minutes. You'll get at least two more time laps, possibly three.
10:53:31
OK, Alin, you've only got two more time laps.
10:53:36
You need to compromise one for a better turn two and turn three.
10:54:55
Oh, the traffic is so bad. You've only got one more time lap.
10:55:05
Make a gap, make a gap, make a gap. Good to go, good to go, good to go. Sock one, please. Sock one. Right, this is the one that's going to count.
10:57:01
Okay, that's the chequered flag. Don't know where we're qualified just yet.
10:57:08
All cars behind, completed.
10:57:11
Okay, Olli, I'm afraid we're out of qualifying.
10:57:18
You've got Russell obviously on an in-lap as well. 1.9 seconds behind. Mode in, please. Mode in. I'm sorry. I've called the answers because...
10:57:47
Yeah, it's all part of the learning experience.
10:57:52
I'm afraid I'll leave him, so let's just take it on the chin and move on.
10:58:11
So you are P17, 31.23. We needed a 30.9 to get through into Q2. Nobody ran into us.
10:58:25
Yeah, ha. Tyres peaked. Lap fever. Copy. Boxing this lap. Copy. Boxing this lap. Sorry, I shouldn't have gone there just because... Yeah, that shocked us.
10:58:55
So, stopping on the marks. Obviously it's slippery. And P1, please.
10:59:06
For what it's worth, Olli, Hamilton, Colapinto and Nico are also out of the session.
10:59:19
Yeah, bad execution. Go outside.
