13:00:09
Okay, so session starts in about five seconds. Copy.
13:00:19
I have a green light, so we can go recharge after turn 5 just to help us take gears as well.
13:00:49
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
13:01:01
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
13:01:10
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
13:01:15
OK, jacks all go. Recharge off. Just a sync 7th and 8th. And we can use DRS.
13:01:34
Squat and recharge on.
13:01:39
So, again, we'll use DRS down to nine.
13:01:55
OK, so you've got no traffic behind, so we're going to make a gap now. There's four cars to go in front. We're going to make that gap early so we can get a good drive on 13 onwards. OK. Copy.
13:02:14
Okay, so Lawson and Colapinto behind. They're on outlaps. So, just two cars to go. Stroll's making his gap now, just in front of us.
13:02:32
Okay, let's go. Let's push.
13:04:14
Recharging. I'll watch for Perez starting a time lap behind.
13:04:19
OK, gap behind to Lawson. He's on a slow lap now. We will have a yellow flag ahead. Yellow flag ahead.
13:04:29
Track clear. Fernando on a time lap three behind. Watch for him.
13:04:39
Okay, the next car pushing is Hamilton. He's about six seconds behind. So we're going for double cool at this point. Hamilton, three and a half now, timed lap.
13:04:56
That next car pushing Russell, five behind.
13:05:01
Should be a little easier once Russell is through. He's three back now.
13:05:11
Clear of traffic behind. How was balance initially?
13:05:20
Okay, I'm landing at a front left lock up into turn one. Yeah, we saw that. You did, yeah.
13:05:29
But yeah, apart from that, just a little feeler and I can just build into it. Yep, sounds good. Do you want a flap adjust before the next push lap?
13:05:44
Copy that, let's do that. Okay. Can we go one turn up? We can, yeah, okay. So we're clear of traffic behind everyone on slow laps. We're going to box now then for a flap adjust.
13:06:06
Okay, so you're clear of traffic behind. We are boxing now. We'll be stopping under the gantry, going one turn up.
13:06:21
And box, box.
13:06:38
In pitlane. OK mate, so stopping under the gantry. Flap adjust and then normal pull away please.
13:07:03
Okay, Jackson, it should be clear pit time trick.
13:07:07
Pit exit. Apologies. I've got Bottas just going into turn 1 now. He's likely to be pushing.
13:07:16
And he's passed. So clear pit exit. Going for a second call-up. I'll be pushing next time.
13:07:23
So, we're going to keep a steady pace around to turn 12 and I'll be pushing at the end of the lap. So, a couple of driving differences between you and Pierre. So, you braked a little later into turn 1. The front lock didn't help there and our mid-corner speed was just a little down.
13:07:45
Entry and exit of turn five. A little bit to be gained there. The mid-corner speed is good though, so just about to see if we can get our power a little cleaner on the exit. And we've got Sainz now six behind on a time lap.
13:08:06
Sainz three behind time-out and then a big gap behind him.
13:08:16
Okay, so nice and steady around to 12 and then we'll be pushing. There'll be almost no cars in front, so she'll get a clean run.
13:08:26
Final point. Entry to turn nine. Braking reference is good. Pierre just carries a little.
13:08:35
Pierre just carries a little bit more speed onto the way into the corner. His first lap for reference 25.8, 25.8.
13:08:45
Ok mate, let's start to push from now. Recharge off the system.
13:10:32
OK, mate. Recharge on. So we're going double cool again. So we see a little bit of vibration now. It's starting to come in. So cars behind. We're going to have a few pushing this time. Russell is the first. Five and a half in the back.
13:10:52
Was that too much pressure? Is that why I locked the front right? Yeah, you locked both front and rear there. So just being a little bit too ambitious, I think, on that braking point.
13:11:02
Second mate was looking good up to that point. Next car behind pushing is Bottas. He's four and a half back.
13:11:15
So, again, we're just going nice and steady on these laps. So, Bottas coming through now. The next car pushing behind is Piastri about seven seconds back.
13:11:35
How was that first sector? Actually, it was, just about to say, actually slightly quicker than Pierre on that one. A couple of hundredths quicker, so good job. Watch for Piastri coming through. Next car pushing Magnussen. Four seconds and then a six second gap behind him.
13:11:57
And then finally Hamilton pushing now. He's four behind. Would you like another flap adjust, Jack? Or are you happy where you are for another lap?
13:12:07
Happy way under now. Copy that. XCARB pushing ALBON 5 seconds.
13:12:13
So we're going for another cool-up after this. Albon 3 behind now. We've had a big gap.
13:12:31
Okay, so Stroll will be pushing next time, so we're good in this position. No traffic.
13:12:38
So, nice and steady, second corner.
13:13:01
So you'll have Hulkenberg coming out of the pit exit behind you.
13:13:44
Double cool, so there's about six cars between turn seven and nine. So just nice and steady at this point.
13:14:13
Okay, so only time loss to Pierre up until that front lock was just on the entry.
13:14:18
Just on the entry to turn five. Again, braking reference is good. Let's try not to push that.
13:14:30
Okay, mate, so nice and steady at this point. We've got about five cars to go in front. We have Norris pushing five behind. So watch for Norris. He's now the car behind.
13:16:56
Hopefully it's giving us a good feel for the soft tyre next. So we're going to do a couple of aero...
13:17:12
So if we can just keep out of the tow of the other cars if we can. So this is 150 kph. We can just hold that for four or five seconds. Then we can turn it.
13:17:23
I've got Piastri on a time lap 5 behind.
13:17:33
Okay, and final aero cruise, aero P3, if you can, down to turn 9.
13:17:40
Car behind is Verstappen. Six seconds. He's on a slow lap, I believe.
13:18:02
OK, Jack, that's good. Thank you. We can go back to tyre on the multi and then we're going to do a practice pitstop boxing now. We've got Hamilton on a time-lapse six behind. Copy.
13:18:17
Hamilton, three behind. Timed lap.
13:18:26
Clear behind now. Boxing now. Practice pitstop.
13:18:45
OK, so practice pitstop, find pre-start revs and switch off. No launch, no launch.
13:19:12
Alright, so we're going to get the car back in the garage.
13:27:47
OK, Jack, so we can make a bit of a gap at the pit exit.
13:28:24
Okay, so on this outlap, once we get going, we're going to be looking to keep our top speed at about 200 kph going down to turn 5, so nice and steady down there, and then we're going to look to be nice and gentle throttle application out of 5 and 7, please, so a little bit more than we were doing on the medium, but we'll still get to full throttle and use DRS when we get there.
13:28:48
I'll give you a bit more guidance as we go round.
13:28:53
So we can make that gap to Stroll in front.
13:29:07
So the first car behind that's pushing is at turn 12 now, that's Piastri.
13:29:17
Copy. Okay, so we'll get ourselves a 5-6 second gap to stroll and we'll go.
13:29:26
So that's good to me. You'll be clear, Piastri's at 15 now.
13:29:33
Okay, so no more than 200 kph down to 5.
13:29:42
That's good. Nice and gentle on throttle. Exit turn 5. Once we get to full throttle we will use DRS. Piastri pushing 9 seconds behind.
13:30:07
Okay, that's good. And the same again out of seven. We're going to introduce a little bit of weaving as well if we can. Just watch for Piastri, three behind. He's got a ten second gap behind him to the next car pushing.
13:30:22
Gentle on throttle. That's weaving and use DRS if you can.
13:30:34
OK, that's good. Gradual round to 12. I'm going to begin to push. So we've got Magnussen seven behind on a push lap. Only Stroll to go in front of him.
13:30:47
Magnussen, 4 behind. If he comes past, he's got a decent gap to the next car pushing. Otherwise, you're good to go now.
13:32:37
Okay, recharge on. So we're going into a double cool now. No traffic behind.
13:32:54
OK, so we've got Albon seven and a half behind his. Should be on a cool lap now, so in phase with everyone. So just staying nice and gentle on these two laps. How's the balance, please?
13:33:10
Balance is not too bad. I think I had a little bit of room to push at least the entries a little bit, but in general balance seems okay. I think it'd be nice to get a feel on the second lap if I give you a true comment. Yep, understood. No worries. Are you happy to keep flap angle where it is for a second lap? Yeah. Or would you like an adjuster? Perfect. Okay, perfect.
13:33:39
So just to give you an idea on times, we've got Zhou on his first lap, he did a 24.8.
13:33:47
So we're at the ballpark of that one. We've got Pierre, he's literally just finished his first timed. He did a 24.5 for info. I'll see if there's any way we can pull it just to make a bit of improvement, but all looking good for a first lap.
13:34:08
Copy. How's your pace on this callout? Fine at the moment, mate. You just keep going as you are. We'll advise if we want an adjust.
13:34:29
So, pace is all good. Stroll and Fernando, the two cars in front, I imagine they will do double cools, so we'll be staying in sync with them. Car behind is Perez, 11 seconds. He's on an outlap, so he'll be pushing this time. He was the first car to go. Copy.
13:34:48
Copy. The two Astons in front are boxing. Understood.
13:34:54
No worries, they could be doing flap adjustments like we sometimes do. OK, mate, so second cool-up. Perez at 7 behind. He'll be pushing this time.
13:35:11
Okay, so Perez, two behind, timed.
13:35:18
The next car, Russell, has just finished a time lap.
13:35:23
So all cars behind on slow or outlaps now. Copy.
13:35:37
OK, Jack, can we go and recharge off for 5 to 6 please? Just adjusting temperatures with that.
13:35:46
Just going to recharge off now.
13:35:52
That's great. And we can go SOC 4 as well. SOC 4.
13:36:00
Advise when you want to recharge it back on. Yeah, we can put that on now actually, Jack. Thank you.
13:36:09
Okay, that's good. So we've got Piastri on a time lap about 10 seconds behind. He's the only car pushing at the moment.
13:36:20
So, Piastri 5 behind. Timed lap. Clear behind him. Nice and steady all the way around to 12. Piastri 3 behind now.
13:36:35
Okay, clear behind. All cars behind are now all slow laps. Kojek, so a little bit of improvement if we can, just at the apex of turn 5, if there's any more rotation mid-corner, but your braking preference is good. And if we can sneak braking just a couple of metres later going into turn 6. That will help us not go too overboard with that one. Okay, let's start to push from now. Recharge off at 16. One more lap.
13:38:41
OK, Richard, I'll watch for Pierre pushing this time. He's two seconds back.
13:38:47
P-A pushing, coming through. And clear behind him.
13:38:55
Ok mate, so we are going to do an aero cruise off to turn 5. Once again, we've got Stroll behind. He's just finished a time lap 5 seconds back. No other traffic.
13:39:08
Okay, so aero P5.
13:39:17
That's clear of traffic on it.
13:39:28
Next car behind is Hamilton. Six seconds. He is pushing, so watch for him. Hamilton four behind.
13:39:36
Two behind. No other cars behind.
13:39:41
Okay, that's great. We'll go aero P3 down to turn 9.
13:40:04
Okay, Jax, so we are going to box now. We're going to do another practice pitstop. So in your last stop, the rear of the car was a little over to the left. So let's see if we can just bring that back into line with this stop. Try and focus on your approach.
13:40:22
Okay, you've got no cars behind. We are boxing now for a practice pitstop.
13:40:43
Stopping on the marks. Practice pitstop. Find pre-start revs and switch off. No launch.
13:45:59
Okay, so I'll be going straight out.
13:46:13
Good to go, Jack.
13:46:21
Okay, let's go recharge off and we're going to start to push.
13:47:41
Okay, you've got a five second gap behind. You want to make a small gap to stroll in from.
13:48:09
OK, Jack, how does this tyre feel at the moment in terms of vibration? Feels OK. OK, understood.
13:49:12
Okay, Jack, we're going to keep going on this tyre for the moment.
13:50:44
Okay, similar lap times to Pierre, that's good. Let's keep it up.
13:52:15
OK, let's try your second gear at turn 5, please.
13:52:43
Okay, we'll try and do the same at turn 12 as well. Turn 12, second gear.
13:53:46
OK, five more laps.
13:54:17
Okay, so just going down on dip height speed.
13:55:15
Four laps remaining.
13:55:43
Okay, Pierre, this lap time is around 30.1, 30.2.
13:56:05
OK, Jack, how's that tyre holding up at the flat spot?
13:56:45
Three pull-ups.
13:57:15
It's starting to struggle in turn 2. Okay, understood.
13:57:57
Okay, Jack, we're going to box now and go onto the soft tyres. We're going to do a light pit stop, so box now, please.
13:58:11
Okay, mate, so it's a live pitstop, so we'll stop on the marks and then I'll launch from the box. Watch the lights.
13:58:36
OK. Perfect.
13:58:46
Pit exit. Should be clear pit exit. You'll have Hulkenberg alongside. Correction, watch for Hulkenberg.
13:58:57
Big gap behind him.
13:59:11
OK, Jack, so one minute to the flag, so we might just squeeze another lap in here.
13:59:33
So, let's keep our pace up. Should get one more lap, just.
13:59:40
Easy. Can I make it more of a room or do I have to stay this close? Just keep your pace up, please. Let's make sure we get the flag. Or don't get it.
14:00:10
Ok, that's a good racing gap. We're getting one more lap, one more time.
14:01:41
OK, and that's the chequered flag. OK, so we're going to cool the car, we're going to go to the grid and do another start.
14:01:52
Okay, so you're clear of traffic behind. The first car's going to do starts now, just going into turn 16.
14:03:00
Okay, Jax, so we are going to do the same procedures as before. Exactly the same. So rolling by point learn, 15 to 16. Copy. Am I the last car? You are the last car, yes. So we're going to the grid still. Rolling by point find, 15 to 16 and then four burnouts. We're going to do the start on the right-hand side this time and then push to the entry.
14:03:22
Copy, would you like me to move as far forward as possible, even if that means front row? Yes, please, yeah, keep moving forwards. That's per normal instructions. OK, happy with the 5.5 procedure question? All OK. Very good.
14:03:58
Four burnouts and a start on the right-hand side, please.
14:05:04
Okay, push into pit entry, then we'll do a practice pitstop.
14:05:54
Box, box, practice pitstop. Box, box, practice pitstop.
14:06:07
So stopping under the gantry, find pre-start revs and switch off, no launch.
14:06:38
Okay mate, thanks for that. So, another busy session. We'll just get a couple of comments when you're plugged back in in the garage, if that's okay, and get you to jump out.
