Okay, so you're clear on pit exit at the minute.

We've got Stroll just coming around now.

So, Stroll is eight seconds back.

I'm going to recharge off and learn the gears.

Minus. Stay positive on brakes.

We'll go recharge on at 6. We've got three seconds to stroll behind.

1.5 to stroll.

OK, next car back is Zhou. He's four seconds back.

Two seconds to Joe.

One second to Zhou. OK, let's go recharge off at 16. Tyres look good.

OK, so recharge on. Recharge on. So P5 with that lap at the minute. So we've got Magnussen behind. He's five seconds back. Open the time lap.

So we can keep it slow till 5. Let's watch out for Magnussen. One second. Okay, clear from traffic a little bit. Quite a lot of understeer. And let's go sock 1. Sock 1. Okay, we'll have a look, see what we can suggest. Main time to gain in sector 2. Esteban's lap was a 23.8 in P9.

So, apex of turn 5 and exit of turn 6. Time to gain.

So you could go entry three. Entry three for more front.

Zhou is the car behind. Six seconds back on a time-lap.

I have four seconds to joke.

Two seconds to go.

OK, so Stroll, the next car is five seconds back.

You've got three seconds to stroll. Let's focus on getting a good drive out out of the final corner. 1.5 to stroll.

Let's go recharge off and let's go.

OK, recharge on. You've got Russell behind us. Let's watch out for him.

Do we need another lap? That was a good lap. We're P4 at the minute. We'll keep an eye on it. Tsunoda coming. Watch out for Tsunoda.

Okay, we're clear from traffic for a little while, so slow lap procedure similar to before. Take it easy down to turn 5.

We think we do need to do this final lap. I don't think so.

So we are seeing quite a bit of track Evo at the minute.

Okay, so Esteban's second lap was a 23.1.

OK, turn 2 exit compared to Esteban. Some time to gain. P1 is Norris with a 22.0. We're P9 in sector 1 and P7 in sector 3. P3 in sector 2. Clear from traffic. All good on time.

But it's not worth the risk, Mike, so we do need this third lap.

And we're happy to start pushing from now.

Okay, so no threats from traffic. Let's focus on getting a good drive out out of 16. We'll go recharge off when you're ready. And let's go, buddy.

That's fucking bullshit! They all blocked me! Ok mate, recharge on, recharge on. Fucking bullshit! Watch out for Hamilton.

So, he's two seconds back. Why are they all getting a lap? Yeah, they're all fucking getting a lap now. Okay, watch out for Zhou now coming through. What's our position? Okay, so we're P7 at the minute. Verstappen coming two seconds back. Why are they all pushing when I'm slowing down? Like, I don't get it. So, everyone went for double cool on the second one. Tsunoda two seconds back. Yeah.

Absolutely fucked us. All the traffic. Ok, so we've got Russell now on a time lap of four seconds.

Two seconds to Russell.

I want the position. Yeah, I'll give you the position once we've got a few more cars finishing. What's the other car's pace like? The other car currently P16, later to 22.9. Norris in P1, 21.4.

Ok mate, we are through. We are through.

So, P13.

So keep an eye on your delta. Yeah, I know, it's too late, but... Yeah, so let's just do what you can and we are boxing this lap.

Taking too much risk right now. Yeah, so that caught us out, mate. Let's come on in and let's get ready for SQ2, OK?

Let's make sure whatever we do, we are at the end, not doing a lap before everyone.

We'll wait a little bit.

Okay, so we've got Sainz just opening a time lap now.

Okay, let's get going if we can. Leclerc now opening the time lap on the front straight. Two seconds to Leclerc.

All right, next car coming through will be Lawson.

Let's focus on the front.

So still five seconds to Lawson. We can go recharge on.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Okay, so three seconds to Lawson.

Clear from traffic for a while. Next car is Stroll. Still 15 seconds back though. So let's focus on the tyres.

Reminder, we'll go recharge off before 16. Let's focus on getting a good drive out. Let's go, bud.

OK, recharge on. Recharge on. OK, let's go recharge on. We're going to go double cool.

So that lap good for P7 at the minute. P1, Piastri 22.0. P10 is Stroll 22.8. Massive understeer everywhere. OK. And a snap turn 8. Copy that. So we've got Sainz on a push lap. He's six seconds back. And we're thinking of driving through the pitlane, so we could adjust the flap if you want more flap.

So, 2.5 to Sainz, and let's watch your delta.

OK, next car is Leclerc. He's five seconds back, 5.5.

Three seconds, Leclerc.

Two seconds to Leclerc.

Albon is not respecting the delta.

Okay mate, well let's just do what we can to try and do it if we can. We've got Bottas pushing, he's three seconds back and we're thinking of box this lap, drive through the pitlane.

One second to Bottas.

And Pierre, would you like a flap adjust? No, it's okay. Okay, so box, we'll drive through the pitlane.

Okay, so we've got mid three available. Mid three.

OK, so we're good on time at the minute.

OK, so you've got Stroll coming around on the front straight, opening the time lap.

You've got two seconds to stroll.

We can go recharge off.

Look up here, we'd like to take it steady from here. All cars on slow laps ahead. It could bunch up towards the end, so let's try and take it a little bit steady now. We've got time, but we want to be able to push towards the end of the lap to energize the tyres.

What's the guy behind doing? So Norris behind on a slow lap. And behind him Alonso also on a slow. So only Verstappen pushing behind and he's in turn 1 now.

Now, let's do some weaving if you can.

For turn 6, what do you suggest with the snap I had?

So we're going to target zero on the dash.

I'll get back to you in turn 6.

So we've got brake shape 1, available turn 6. So we've got three cars ahead still to open their lap. We've got Alonso behind. He's five seconds back on a time lap. Only Hamilton to go now. So let's get ready to go, mate. Recharge off. And let's push.

OK, recharge on.

P9 at the minute. We are safe.

Last turn 12. Yeah, we can see that. Let's come on in, we'll get ready for SQ3.

So, let's keep an eye on the delta. Yeah, I'm struggling turn 6, oversteer.

Okay. Yeah, we'll take a good look and then think about what we want to do on the soft next. And yeah, I think we've got to check these tyres.

Okay, we'll take a look.

So, yeah, quite a lot of front sliding on the first...

We've got a lot of front sliding on the first lap. Better by the second. Better by the second, alright.

Do I have rear lock in turn 6?

It's just very unstable on the entry.

Okay, let's go. Recharge off up to turn four. Just Lawson ahead of you.

And we can do a standard outlap.

Okay, mate, little reminder, we'll go recharge off at 16. Let's get a good drive out and let's go.

OK, let's go recharge on. You've got Piastri behind, starting the time lap.

Okay, so Lawson, the car ahead of you, he did a 22.6. So we're P1 at the minute. Some of the cars behind are doing prep laps, so they'll be going potentially for a single fast or prep fast low fast.

Yeah, grip did not feel good. Okay, alright, copy. Let's just keep focusing on the tyres on these double cool. And then we'll get ready for our final attempt. We've got Verstappen four seconds back on a time lap.

Let's keep an eye on the Delta. We've got three seconds, two for Verstappen.

1.5

Next car coming through Russell. Three seconds back. At the minute we would default to stay on track. We've got two seconds to Russell and we'd like to go recharge off from turns 10. It's difficult to let this guy by. Watch out for Russell.

Okay, so next car back is Hamilton. He's still nine seconds back. We'll go recharge on at 15.

Okay, Pierre, we can go through the pitlane, so we're happy for you to box and drive through the pitlane. Are you happy with the flap?

Yeah. Okay, so we're driving through the pitlane.

Only loss in the pitlane now.

Okay, so some time to gain some turns. 4, 5 and 16. 4, 5 and 16 mid-corner. We could gain some time. We're currently P7 for that first lap. Norris P1 21.0.

Let's watch out for Leclerc coming through now.

Ok, so the Ferraris are ahead and should be on slow laps.

We're all good on time.

And let's go, recharge off.

And we'll stay recharged off until turn 6.

So, tyres looking good to us. We would like to push towards sector 3. You've got five cars ahead of you that need to open a lap.

And then we've got Hulkenberg ten seconds back on the time lap.

This guy is going to push or not? Yes, they will be pushing ahead.

So we've got five seconds to Hulkenberg.

2.5 to Hulkenberg.

We still got margin to the flag. Let's watch out for Hulkenberg now.

And then think about the back right for turns 4 and 5, so only Leclerc and Sainz ahead need to go. You've got no threats behind, so let's pick a gap. We'll go recharge off before 16. Let's give it your all, mate.

Recharge on. Recharge on. Alright mate, that's P8.

Yeah, that's the best we could get, so happy. Let's go scenario 10. Let's go scenario 10. You can stay recharged off.

Alright mate, that was a good session. P8, we'll take that. Plenty of things to still work on and look at for tomorrow.

Yeah, a bit harder than this morning, but...

Wasn't as comfortable still. Make it work and there's space, so all good. Yep, so we've got Norris in P1 ahead of Russell and Piastri. So Norris' time of 21.0 stood. And then behind, so then we've got Sainz P4, Leclerc P5, Verstappen, Hamilton, yourself, then Hulkenberg in P9 loss in P10. I think there's just something to get with the tyres, so I mean, we'll review after. Yep, still plenty of things to look at and it's all to play for tomorrow. What's the gap with Lawson and Hulkenberg? So Hulkenberg did a 22.1 and then Lawson 22.6.

And then Hamilton ahead of you in P7. He was a 21.5.

We were the only car who didn't run a softened P1. So, we made it work. Yeah, did they put an U set or U set these guys?

Everyone went new. OK. Yeah, so...

I have one more tomorrow. Yeah, copy that. Alright, so usual switch-off procedures from here.
