That's one minute to go.

That's 20 seconds to go.

And engine start. Remember, it'll take longer than in the garage.

You should be going to get the green light about now.

Okay, remember to stay off kerbs and to target clear air where possible for the best data.

Okay, as I said, I'm going to talk to you through the pit exit to make sure the radio is working well through here. The car ahead of you is Colapinto. The car behind of you is Zhou. The radio hopefully will have good reception through turn 2, but you are now in the region where there could be a radio black spot. Let me know if the radio is okay. Radio check. Yep, all good. Okay, so it's purple C1 position 4 for 100 kph out of turn 3. Purple C1, 4. And then if you do about 3 or 4 seconds at each speed, so then position 3. Purple C1, 3 for 160 and purple C1, 2 for 200.

And then you can go position 1 for free speed. Your radio is still latched open.

Okay, we've boxed this lap. Boxed this lap. Stay to the right of the white line. Remember the pitlane speed limiter. Stop in front of our garage.

No transcript available

Track will be clear. Track clear.

Out of turn 5, purple C1 position 4 for 100 kph CSL.

And then if you do the other speeds as well, so C1-3, purple C1-3 for 160 and then purple C1-2 for 200 kph.

And then you can go purple C1-1 at 3 speed. Colapinto is 5 seconds behind on a timed lap.

Hadjar is 5 seconds behind. Hadjar 5 seconds on a timed lap. We have boxed this lap.

Had your 3.

So we've boxed this lap, boxed this lap. Rio, we'll put Landos in the pit box. So stop in front of our garage. We'll change the nose box there.

Copy. Pit straight.

So pull away from the pitstop and you can go purple C1 position 5. Purple C1 5.

Do not drive under the light in the pitbox. It's too low, so pull left when you go away. Pull left.

Lawson is turn one now. He'll be ahead. Lawson turn two now. Watch for Lawson. Lawson on a slow lap. Lawson will be behind. Don't worry about him.

We're doing the CSLs out of turn 5, so that'll be purple C1-4 for the first one.

And then purple C1-3, purple C1-2 for the other speed.

Okay, position 1 for free speed. Purple C1-1 for free speed.

Okay, we'll box this lap again. Box this lap.

This time we will stop on the pit box marks. Stop on the pit box marks. The marker boards won't be down, they'll be up just to clear the rake. And again, you're pulling away. You'll have hand markers.

Pull away from the stop. Reset. Purple C1 position 5. Purple C1 5.

Traffic. Lawson should be opening a lap just approaching turn 1.

Lawson is turn two now. Five seconds.

Purple C14 for one hundred kph. Lawson, seven seconds.

And then again, purple C1-3, purple C1-2 to get the other speeds. Cars behind are in phase.

And purple C1-1 for free speed.

Okay, we've boxed this lap. Boxed this lap. This time stopping in front of our garage and engine on.

Where do you want me to go? Stop in front of our garage.

Gasly is turn one now. He's opening a lap. Zhou is turn one now. I think he's just finishing a lap. We'll be close to Zhou. Zhou turn two now. It's clear after Zhou.

Okay, we'll do the CSLs out of turn 5, so purple C1 position 4, C1 4, 100 kph.

And then C1-3, C1-2 for the other speeds.

Alonso, four seconds. Purple C11 from Greece B. Alonso, four seconds now. Watch for Alonso.

Alonso 2.

Clear behind Alonso.

Okay, we've boxed this lap again. Boxed this lap. Stop in front of our garage.

Verstappen in front of our garage and engine off.

Okay, Hadjar will be close. He's on a cool lap. Hadjar is turn one now. Gasly could be opening a lap. Gasly turn one.

Gasly turn 2. Watch for Gasly. Two seconds. Gasly turn 3.

And the CSL Purple C1 position 4. Next car is Alonso. Seven seconds.

Alonso, four seconds. So it's purple C13, purple C12, as you know.

First car now is Dragovic. Dragovic, 5.

Dragovic 2 is Leclerc. Arm Dragovic is Leclerc. Arm Dragovic. He's doing continuous laps.

Off for two seconds.

And the next car is Hamilton 7. We have boxed this lap.

Hamilton 4.

So we're boxed, boxed.

Stop in front of our garage.

Copy, pitlane.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Track will be clear.

Okay, use the brakes to get great temperature on the outlap. Big stop to 6 and into 9.

Lawson ahead is on an outlap. Make a gap to him. Lawson is near soft. Target at least five seconds, currently three. Clear behind. And remember the recharge button.

Suggest to keep pushing.

Okay, cool down lap, cool down lap, recharge on.

Leclerc is on a push lap eight seconds behind. He should drop into phase. So Rio, line through turn 2-3 looks good. Braking into 6, the braking point is good but not necessarily getting the car stopped well enough. There's another 10 bar available there.

And just take care, exit 40. That's the probably highest risk place on the track, so just a bit more careful with the throttle pickup there, more patient.

Cars behind are in Vase.

Let's go to strat 5, strat 5.

And for turn nine, suggest fourth gear. Turn nine, fourth gear.

Good job. Another cool down lap. Pre-charge on.

Gasly behind. Should be in phase. Turn six, that lock-up was not peak pressure. Peak pressure was good. There's still five bar potential peak pressure. It was turning in a little bit early. Too much combined. Check top left toggle. Top left.

First car pushing is Lando, nine seconds. He's on continuous laps now.

We're going to do a pushing in-lap, Rio. We'll do a pushing in-lap and then a pit stop for the stop.

Rio, to get the deployment into... Lando, five seconds. To get the deployment into turn one, I need at least two seconds of full pedal before turn nine. At least two seconds full pedal on this straight.

Lando, re.

Perez is three seconds behind Lando. Perez will also be continuous lap, so if you let those cars go, make a good gap.

Okay, Doohan and Bottas behind at in phase. First car pushing now is Russell 9.

Opportunity braking turn 5. Five metres later. Five metres. Russell 6.

Box this lap. Box this lap. Recharge on. Box.

Remember, this is a pitstop for the soft tyre. Aero balance looks okay, so we're just adding the one turn for the compound.

Sorry, I wasn't clear before I could go. Okay, no problem. We're all good.

Magnussen is doing continuous laps. Magnussen is turn 1 now. He'll be ahead. His car is Hamilton, also continuous laps. Hamilton turn 1 now. Lawson one and a half seconds behind him. Hamilton turn 2.

Hamilton is two seconds behind. You can use DRS on the straights.

Watch for Hamilton.

Let's go to Strat 3. Strat 3.

Browning is five seconds behind Hamilton.

Browning three.

Browning is continuous laps. There is a seven-second gap behind him to Alonso. Alonso will be push-cool-push, so if you need to let Alonso go, you can. Alonso is on a push lap. His next lap will be a cool lap. Alonso 3.

And opportunity, turn 1, turn 5, later braking. Lawson in phase with you.

Hadjar pushing three.

Hydraulic continuous. Hulkenberg 2.

It wasn't a good spot for the traffic. Watch for Hulkenberg, watch for Hulkenberg.

Colapinto is four seconds behind, also pushing. There is a 15 second gap behind Colapinto to Lando. That's the gap you need to use.

You will get three laps from here, so push, cool, push from here. You can use the gap behind. Eight seconds.

Six seconds to Lando. Stay ahead of him. Lando, continuous laps.

Three seconds.

Okay, cool down lap. Watch for Zhou. He should open three seconds behind. We can make this cool down lap very slow. Bring the temperature out of the tyres. Zhou, three. Lando is three seconds behind Zhou.

And ACS button, ACS button, Lando 2.

Doon is three seconds now. Doon, three seconds.

Max delta is plus 45, so this lap can be very slow. Perez plus four.

And Iwata, four seconds behind him.

And Russell is four seconds behind. There's a good gap forming, but you need to let Russell go. Bottas is three seconds behind Russell.

And this is the gap to use. Next car pushing is Magnussen, 17. I need two seconds full pedal between turns 7 and 9.

Braking opportunity, 10 metres turn 1, 5 metres turn 5.

Magnussen 10. Use that gap but stay ahead of him. Magnussen and Leclerc there are on continuous laps with traffic behind them. Stay ahead of Magnussen and Leclerc if possible.

Magnussen, seven.

Magnussen 4.

Okay, Magnussen and Leclerc very close. Let them go. There's then a six second gap to Hamilton and an eight second gap to Browning.

Okay, that's the chequered flag. We've boxed this lap.

Yeah, sorry for traffic. Couldn't manage well. It's okay, you got one good clear lap. That last one was very difficult with traffic. I'd like two more CSLs, please. So out of turn 5, purple C17. Purple C17 will give you 160 kph. And then purple C16 will give you 240 kph. So purple C17.

And then purple C16.

And purple C15 will give you free speed and then we'll box this lap.

Okay, cars ahead are slow. They're staying out to do the launch on the grid. We're boxed this lap.

We're going to do pitstop practice then, engine off. Just be careful into the box though. Last time was good.

We're just going to coordinate a pitstop on the other car. If you want to get out, you can.

I just want to say thank you for the opportunity. It's really nice to work with you guys. Also to the TPC team in the factory. They worked really hard to get ready for me. Thank you everyone.

Yeah, well done, Rio. Well-executed session from your side. Thank you for that. Very good job.
