Valtteri Bottas
10:26:26
And switch off the engine. Switch off.
10:27:15
And three minutes until green light.
10:29:16
And one minute until green light.
10:29:28
And DRS will be disabled for all of Q1. I'll let you know if there's any changes.
10:29:43
And you can fire up.
10:30:07
Ten seconds.
10:31:06
And everybody is on X-Wet. We see some standing water on the straights before turn 4 on the left-hand side of the track.
10:32:00
And try to work on your brake temperature.
10:32:14
I would probably do a lap with exit first. Yeah, makes sense. I think Lastin is off exit turn 12. Should be a yellow flag in front of you. Copy.
10:33:14
And track is clear. Track is clear.
10:34:08
Yellow flag. Yep, that's Zhou. I'm happy with the Fox for the inter. Okay, the other guys are saying it's not quite ready, but we'll follow your suggestion. Yep, Fox. And mode charge, mode charge.
10:34:53
And mode out. Mode out.
10:34:59
And entry and mid minus one. Entry and mid minus one.
10:35:14
And pit exit is clear.
10:36:30
And as a reminder, just take it easy on the first lap on this tyre. Might take a bit to get up to temperature.
10:38:06
And you can go pedal minus one, pedal minus one.
10:39:32
And it's a red flag, red flag, box. And mode charge.
10:45:07
OK, Valtteri, we need to switch off.
10:45:33
So Valtteri, we see a gap behind Zhou in front of this McLaren here. We don't know if the McLaren will see you coming, so what do you think about trying to squeeze into that gap?
10:45:46
And he's also switched off.
10:45:51
I think we can try it. Regulation-wise, is that okay? Yeah, you just need the front tyre across the white line.
10:46:03
OK, let's go. OK, so you can fire up.
10:46:46
And mode out. Mode out. 30 seconds until green.
10:47:51
And Valtteri, for timing, we think we can do two push laps, a charge, and then two more push laps. But let's see what the tyre temps do.
10:52:47
And mode charge, mode charge. Copy.
10:52:53
And we'll be tyre position seven, tyre position seven.
10:53:04
And we can select SOC 7. SOC 7, we will have time for two push laps. Copy.
10:53:15
Piastri, five seconds behind, pushing.
10:53:29
I think he's backed off now. Yeah, looks like it. And let's go ERS position 11. ERS 11.
10:53:47
And we might be close on timing for two push laps.
10:53:55
We've asked Zhou to pick up the pace.
10:54:02
You can build a gap to Joe and motor push.
10:55:53
And sock three, sock three.
10:57:31
And mode charge. Good job there, Valtteri. We are through. Copy. Good job.
10:57:38
And any feedback on the track conditions?
10:57:44
Stay quite stable. Understood.
10:57:51
Still X left though. Copy that.
10:58:02
And cool the engine. Cool the engine.
10:58:21
Is this delta time correct? I struggle to follow it.
10:58:34
Yeah, try to follow it as best as you can. I'm stuck behind you. Understood.
10:59:14
And for info, we don't think it will rain for the next 15 minutes. Okay.
11:01:52
And you can stick your wheel in front of that Williams.
11:02:11
And then you switch off the engine. Switch off.
11:02:16
You can select mode out.
11:02:47
And you can select Sox 7. Sox 7.
11:02:55
And you can fire up.
11:03:15
So you have energy for two time laps at the moment. Two laps. OK.
11:03:32
You can go brake balance plus two.
11:03:39
No, I can't. Too much front locking. Understood.
11:04:40
And for info, the McLarens are going out on Inter. Keep me updated.
11:04:47
Yeah, let me know how they get on. Will do.
11:05:19
And you can build a gap to stroll and mode push.
11:07:15
Tyres are overheating. Yep, we think the same. You can charge. And for now the inters are slower. OK, how many laps to go?
11:07:30
You can do entry minus one. I'll let you know about the laps.
11:07:42
I think it will be Inter at the end, but we'll need at least two or three laps. Yep, understood. So we think we have time for eight laps and other cars are starting to pit to Inter now.
11:07:57
And you are currently P3 on the Exway.
11:08:04
And we are ready for enter, in case.
11:08:10
Piastri is faster in turn 1 and 2 on the inserts. Okay, box, enter. Okay, copy, box.
11:08:46
And SOC 8. SOC 8.
11:09:05
And tyre position 6. Tyre 6.
11:09:12
And mode out. Mode out.
11:09:29
And track is clear on pit exit.
11:09:34
And no rain expected for the remainder of this session.
11:10:07
Yellow flag in front. Copy. So how many laps are we getting? I think the yellow, it's clear, it's clear. And we will have time for six, six laps. Copy.
11:12:22
And yellow flag in turn 1-2. Keep pushing after that.
11:12:27
It's double yellow. Yeah, red flag, red flag. It's Sainz off in exit turn 2. No charge.
11:12:41
Now we just need more right, right? Wouldn't hurt. Yeah, we're currently P7. It was a good lap.
11:14:57
And we are putting you on a fresh set of high pressure tyres.
11:17:51
Nice gap in there.
11:18:13
And switch off the engine.
11:19:45
And 30 seconds until green. You can fire up.
11:20:03
You can select SOC 8.
11:20:26
And for timing, Valtteri, we can do three push laps, which you have energy for now, or a push-charge push. Let's see with the tyre temp. Even if I lost the tyre temp, I would do three push, I think. Okay, understood.
11:21:13
And Valtteri, consider sacrificing turn 1 for a better 2 and 3.
11:22:07
And you can build a gap to Alonso. And motor push when you're ready.
11:24:14
And we suggest a charge lap. We suggest charge.
11:24:20
Go, babe.
11:24:26
And you can select SOC 3, SOC 3. We will have timing for one push lap.
11:24:43
One minute 25 until the flag.
11:24:59
And Russell, 12 seconds behind, is on a push lap. You can back off a bit.
11:25:07
And build a gap. Build a gap.
11:25:16
And mode push.
11:25:38
And box 0-3-Box. Copy. Where did you end up?
11:25:45
Yeah, sorry to tell you about P11. P11. Oh, shit. Well, good job anyway. Good timings. I'm on the weightbridge scales. Copy that.
11:26:00
Yeah, we would have gotten through, for sure.
