17:59:02

Radio check.

17:59:10

Yes, ladder clear. Likewise.

17:59:15

Okay, so that's a minute until pitlane opens.

17:59:21

Yeah, this will help us.

17:59:32

Oh, good, we've got good positioning here. Focus on our programme.

17:59:45

Woody on the diff, NPR mid, 7. Yeah, 7-7, we're good.

18:00:04

Fifteen seconds. Mind the gear sync to turn four.

18:01:02

Overtake after turn 2. Gear sync.

18:01:27

Just build up nicely. No assumptions about what other people are doing.

18:02:18

So, nice build. Minus 15 on the delta.

18:02:23

Zero tight.

18:02:28

It's like Hulkenberg opening a lap four seconds back. Leclerc on an outlap in front at five seconds.

18:03:14

So Hulkenberg up four seconds. Does need to be on the build. Leclerc three seconds in front.

18:03:38

Just Leclerc to go in front. Gap four seconds. Mind if I handbrake turn 5.

18:03:47

Beat our drop when you're ready.

18:05:21

Okay, VTOL drop. And initial feedback.

18:05:28

Yeah, little bit too front limited. Hulkenberg might be pushing again here. Hulkenberg one and a half coming through. Got Zhou in five seconds.

18:05:39

Eyes on Delta, Joey Verstappen pushing three seconds.

18:05:45

Go at two and a half.

18:06:02

Yeah, GP in form. Magnussen pushing three and a half. It's at all speed ranges, front limited. Magnussen pushing three seconds. Yeah, very much.

18:06:16

Maltesek coming through.

18:06:21

Hamilton at three and a half.

18:06:25

Hamilton at two and a half.

18:06:32

Diff entry 5. Hamilton at 2 seconds.

18:06:36

Hamilton 1 coming through. Bottas at four seconds. Mode 1, mode 1. Bottas at two and a half.

18:06:50

One and a half, one, coming through. No immediate effect behind. It's a bit congested in turn 16. Max is pitting here.

18:07:02

Thanks, car behind is pitting. OK, all clear in front. V-Charge off.

18:08:41

Delta 1. Watch out for Gasly behind. One second. Delta on. Okay, we'll box the end of this lap so you can keep up the pace. I run out of battery at the end of the lap. Copy. Delta on. Delta on.

18:09:18

What's the current pace? So Russell currently P1, 21.5. Currently P8.

18:09:27

So, Ocon, the only car by pushing eight seconds.

18:09:33

Do you want a flap offset for the next run?

18:09:44

Two clicks. Two clicks, copy. Ocon at five and a half seconds.

18:10:05

Ocon at two and a half seconds. Two. Three. Box. Watch out for the weight bridge and then into jack. Ocon at one. Coming through.

18:10:16

OK, I'm south of the light bridge.

18:13:34

Make sure we've got a gap and, yeah, by the time on the way out, no rush on the way out here. Just want to make sure we slot in behind Max.

18:13:49

So, max just on the control line now.

18:13:55

Got plenty of time, Max, coming past. You're good. So Hamilton's just completed a lap.

18:14:04

Coming past Zhou, opening lap, coming past. Bottas at four seconds, pushing. One, coming past. OK.

18:14:18

Russell just opened a lap behind in three seconds.

18:14:24

Two. One. OK, no effects behind Lawson behind on and out lap. Tsunoda behind him, out lap.

18:14:43

Losses are apex turn 6, turn 7, turn 10.

18:15:01

Hamilton in front on the charge lap.

18:15:45

I'm on a minus 15 on your delta.

18:15:49

Those tyres are a bit positive. It's good.

18:15:55

A few cars on the charge laps in front.

18:16:03

It's a good track position in front. Alonso on an outlap. Behind, everyone on outlaps and charge laps. Lawson might be fast five seconds back. He's on a build as well.

18:16:47

So in front there are five cars on charge laps between you and turn 14.

18:17:00

Five cars to go in front.

18:17:15

Be charged off when you're ready. 30 seconds to go.

18:18:50

Delta on. Delta on. That's P8.

18:18:57

Cancel handbrake and delta on.

18:19:03

And eyes on your data.

18:20:16

It's a box. Waybridge and then into jack.

18:26:21

Is Max doing the same or he will be pushing less? Max, I expect he will have a slightly slower outlap, so give him a nice gap here. Both going for the first push lap.

18:26:36

First car will be Russell at the start of turn 15.

18:26:46

Russell, 15 seconds back.

18:26:50

Torque 9. Torque 9.

18:27:08

Russell, 11 seconds back.

18:27:12

Max at 15 seconds in front.

18:27:34

Russell at nine seconds.

18:27:41

Let's clear it from...

18:27:50

Russell, that's seven seconds. Recharge off when you're ready.

18:29:27

Delta on. Delta on. Yuki opening a lap five and a half seconds back. Cancel. Handbrake. Delta on. Tsunoda at three seconds. Two. One. Eight. No fence behind. Delta on.

18:30:57

OK, so box.

18:31:01

What's half of the way, Bridge? And then into Jack.

18:31:12

OK, on the way, bitch. On the way, bitch.

18:37:43

So I've finally got Alonso on an outlap. Hamilton's come through the pitlane as part of a double slow.

18:38:03

You can drop in behind Max here. Make sure you've got your five seconds to it.

18:38:10

But even more than that, I've got plenty of time. Just get your gap before SC2.

18:38:24

OK, pretty well spaced in front. Got Yuki opening a lap. Seven seconds back.

18:38:35

So Max at five seconds in front. Yuki at five and a half behind.

18:38:49

Is it much a lot slower?

18:38:53

Yeah, Max is slower. Yeah, he's going to let you through. Yuki, push it at three seconds.

18:39:00

So get on with it. Get back on with it. Yuki at three seconds. Make sure we build that gap to max here. Yuki at two and a half back.

18:39:14

You get two.

18:39:17

What? OK, now go a bit in.

18:39:31

What? So Lewis, go in front. Go with it. Pre-charge off when you go. Pre-charge off.

18:40:24

The tyres are nowhere.

18:40:38

Yep, not... OK, we're safe anyway. Max at five seconds. Still pushing. Wheel box. Max at four seconds.

18:40:52

Max at three seconds. Two, one.

18:40:58

OK, I'll re-box. Recycle through to Q3.

18:41:03

It was an overdesert. I don't know. No grip on the rear.

18:41:14

Box. Travelling by bridge, turning into track.

18:41:26

Did the wind pick up?

18:49:10

So Leclerc at five seconds.

18:49:25

Wind's dropped a couple of kph in the last ten minutes.

18:50:10

Leclerc at four and a half.

18:50:24

Recharge off when you're ready.

18:51:56

Watch out for Hamilton behind. Delta on. Hamilton coming past.

18:52:02

Delta on. Keep up the pace. Box this lap. Cancel handbrake.

18:52:15

Delta on. Delta on.

18:52:29

I don't seem to be getting the same grip.

18:52:34

I'll get some fresh rubber on.

18:56:10

OK, so Russell in front now.

18:56:14

Just make sure we get in front of a nice gap.

18:58:21

OK, Russell's backed out a little bit on this prep lap.

18:58:42

There's no set behind. Lewis on a build. There's a bit of traffic in front as well, so this is your position. How far is Lewis? He's on a build seven seconds back. You've got margin on the delta.

18:59:08

So we've got plenty of margin on the Delta here. Max, now the car in front. So don't hustle them, stay back.

18:59:18

No fats behind, no fats behind.

18:59:32

Two cars to go in front. Two cars to go. Get your gap, don't worry about the delta here. Because we've got you. Five seconds.

19:01:13

Delta, up.

19:01:21

Delta on and cancel handbrake. Delta on and cancel handbrake.

19:01:32

Okay, max P1, 20.5. Russell, Norris, Piastri, Leclerc, Hamilton, Sainz, Fernando just in front of me, Magnussen just behind.

19:02:39

OK, so box.

19:02:46

I love P1.
