Let me know if we should change the outlap. Yep, we'll keep you posted. We're happy to stick to the plan.

And yeah, let me know how many cars are in the pit exit. Yeah, so we've got... Let's see, looks like four cars, five cars ahead of you still in pit exit. Bottas exiting now.

And a reminder, out of turn 5, we're going to use DRS this time, so different than this morning. So still three cars ahead of you to leave the pitlane.

Most cars making good gaps on track, so once we're out, don't expect too much bunching up, but we'll keep you posted.

Let me know once Jack is gone. So Jack is on track now. He's four seconds ahead of you. We've got Tsunoda in turn one now.

Okay, let's go. Alright, so Verstappen is starting the time lap in 12 seconds. And we can do some weaving. Let's use DRS and go full throttle.

I'll do the same thing down to turn nine. Still got six seconds to Verstappen.

And we'll get a good drive through turn nine. We've got three seconds to Verstappen.

Watch out for Verstappen.

And next car behind is Joe. He's four seconds back.

So we've got three seconds to Zhou. We've just got Jack ahead to open his lap. Two seconds to Zhou.

Okay, we can push the surface. Reminder for recharge off. And let's go.

Fuck, my tyres are gone!

OK, recharge on. Let's box this lap and let's keep our pace up. That's P9 at the minute. Yeah, we got your comment for turn 1.

You're clear from traffic behind. How's the balance so far? It's okay, I can just have a bit more control.

Then we do a click. Yep. Copy that. We'll go one turn up at the change.

And can we have SOC 5, with like SOC 5 for the next lap?

What are the time sectors? So, main time to gain in sector 1, 1 tenth compared to Jack. Jack did a 24.1. We're P14 sector 1. We've got time to gain in sector 2, P18, and we're P10 sector 3.

Car was still clear from traffic behind.

Okay, we're fucked in this lap. Once we get in the pitlane, we just have to drive around Jack.

Okay Pierre, we're going to go up one turn on the flap.

Okay, so we're going to go for the same outlap as before.

So you've got five cars ahead of us.

And if possible, try to avoid slipping the clutch too much.

So just Tsunoda and Lawson ahead to exit the pitlane.

Okay, so Lawson's going now. He's four seconds ahead. You're clear on pit exit. Lawson, six seconds. Eight seconds to Lawson.

So we'd still like to do some weaving and we can use DRS, go full throttle.

And then we'll do the same on the next straight.

Okay, so we've got just Lassen ahead to open his lap. We believe Albon ahead is pitting, so we've got no traffic behind. Let's focus on the tyres.

And Lawson has gone, so happy to go. Reminder recharge off at turn 16. And let's push.

OK, recharge on. Recharge on. We'll box this lap. Yeah, pole sector 3.

OK, mate, so you're clear from behind. The chequered is out. We believe you're safe.

So let's just focus on the end lap and I'll give you some times once they come through.

So it was that fourth sector 3 you said? Yeah, I didn't feel good, the grip in sector 3. A lot of understeer at turn 9 and carried through turn 14. OK, copy that.

Better through the chicane than through the turn.

And let's go SOC 4 if we can. We'd like a SOC 4.

Are we through? Yeah, we're through, mate.

Okay, so everyone's completed a lap. That lap was good for P5. Leclerc 23.3 in P1. Whiskey sets or what set these guys?

Everyone used two sets.

Okay, wow. Yeah, so it's a good lap, mate. So let's come and get ready for Q2.

Yeah, there's quite a bit of time last sector, so... Yeah, well, we'd like to hear that.

So yeah, sector 3 is our main weakness at the minute. We're P12 there. P5 sector 1.

Are you sure about the brake shape? Because the front tyres are colder.

So, we've got no problems if you use shape 5. We see what you're seeing, but we're happy to stick with the procedures we've discussed.

So you've got what looks like Stroll leaving the pit exit now, and then Alonso and Tsunoda with you.

Tsunoda's on track now. Gap is six seconds. Russell in turn one now on a time lap. Watch out for Russell. Okay, and next car pushing now is Magnussen. He's five seconds back.

And we're happy to use DRS. We can do some weaving, full throttle, two seconds to Magnussen.

OK, next car behind is Hulkenberg. He's five seconds back.

Three seconds to Hulkenberg. 1.5.

Okay, let's get a good drive through 9. Leclerc, the next car, pushing eight seconds back.

Ahead of you, you've just got Tsunoda to open a lap. He's currently in turn 13.

We can push as much as we can on the front. We've got three seconds to Leclerc.

That's two seconds Leclerc.

Reminder for recharge off at 16 and let's go.

OK, recharge on. Box this lap. Yeah, copy that mate, so we know what the next set will bring.

Let's not worry too much.

Still plenty of time to come. If you can keep the speed up on the in-lap, that would be helpful.

Just keep an eye on your delta.

And there's a car on the weighbridge, so no worries.

No transcript available

Let's go slower together.

Alright mate, so you've got two cars ahead of you.

Hulkenberg is out on track now. He's seven seconds up the road.

Let's focus on getting a clean outlap and then let's get the best lap we can.

Okay, so out of turn 5, let's go easy on traction, but we will use DRS and let's do some weaving.

And we'll do the same thing down to turn nine.

So we can use DRS and do weaving.

And once we get around to 13 and 14, we'll start pushing the surfaces. Ahead of you, you've got Hulkenberg in turn 13 now, so we should have no issues.

Temperatures are coming up nicely.

Okay, you've got your open modifier for turn 1 and then the close for sector 3.

And once we get to 16, we'll go recharge off and let's go, mate.

OK mate, let's go. Recharge on. Recharge on. Box is that. We've got Tsunoda behind, opening the time lap. He's three seconds back.

So, where does that put us? We're doing alright at the minute. P3 on the boards, but everyone else is still finishing laps. I'll update you. Yeah, Hulkenberg did a 23.04, you did a 23.08. So, we've got Lawson coming behind now on a time lap. Lawson is four and a half seconds back. I'll update you. Two seconds to Lawson. Two seconds to Lawson. Let's focus on fuel. We need to save fuel. So, we are safe. Let's keep an eye on your delta. Let's try and stick to the delta. We still have some cars coming. We've got Piastri coming. He's five seconds back.

I have understeer at turn 90.

Yeah, copy that mate. Let's see what we can improve for the next one. Let's see what we can improve for the next one. Let's put the flaps. Yeah, we'll use up everything we've got. Yeah, we'll use up everything we've got.

I was bad at sector 3, yeah. I was so bad at sector 3. Yeah, that was a good sector 3, mate. That was... Yeah, that was a P3, mate. That was sector 3. Sector's 1, sector's 2, sector's 3. Sector's 1, sector's 2, sector's 3. Bottas, finishing lap behind. Bottas, Bottas, Bottas. Bottas is four seconds behind.

How many cars ahead of us?

About six.

Okay, so we'll be going for a pushier outlap.

Ok, so just Alonso to go. Gap is six seconds now. He's on track.

Seven seconds. OK, so you're clear on pit exit. All cars on used. All cars except Verstappen. So Verstappen on new. Everyone else on scrubbed. So let's use DRS and let's do some weaving.

And we can do the same down to turn nine.

And we can push a bit through turn nine.

You've still got seven seconds to Alonso ahead.

Alonso is five seconds ahead. He's in 12 now. 14 now.

Okay. Alright, so let's push.

When we get to 16, we'll go recharge off.

Okay, recharge on. Recharge on and we'll box this lap. That was a good lap, mate.

So we're P5 in the minute with one car still to set a lap, so likely P6. Hulkenberg, he did a 23.49.

Alright, so we're clear from traffic behind.

Okay, Piastri lost his time, so we'll P5 after that.

Copy. Front tyre is playing a bit cold for turn 1. Copy. We know the next one should hopefully be a bit better.

OK, so we're in a good spot, mate. We're going to do the outlap like before. So like we did Q2, run 2. You got two cars ahead of you.

Perez out on track on his outlap, so we might see him during our outlap but shouldn't be a problem.

Okay, so Hulkenberg's on track. Gap is six seconds and growing.

Okay, gap to Hulkenberg, eight seconds. And then Perez just opening his lap now.

So let's be easy on the traction. We'll use DRS and do some weaving.

And we'll do the same thing down to turn 9.

OK, so Perez behind. He's 10 seconds back.

Tyre temps are coming up nicely. We're going to want to push the surface in 13, 14, 15. We've still got 6.5 to Perez.

Four seconds to Perez.

Two seconds. 2.5 to Perez.

Okay, make it clear from traffic. Reminder, we'll go recharge off at turn 16.

OK, recharge on, recharge on. Let's box this lap. We need to save fuel. All in front of him. One second.

All right, so we've got three cars finishing their laps. Yeah, fucking hell, you can't do that. So Hulkenberg did a good lap, yeah, 22.9.

So let's save fuel. We need to save fuel on the inlap.

Half-track, one tenth, cheers.

And if we can have scenario 10. We need scenario 10.

Still two more cars finishing in the lap.

All right, mate. Everyone's finished a lap. That's P6 for us. Very well done. We should be happy with that. Yeah. That was very good. Still all to play for tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. I'm confident. We've got a better car now, so more confident. Very good effort. P6, very good. So that was a good sector 3 there. That's P3 of everybody in sector 3.

We know where we can improve. The car was very close to us.

Just got to be on it tomorrow. Go to P4, guys. We certainly do. Thanks for your laps today. No problem. Where is he? P4? He is P4. Max failed to improve, so he's P5. Norris P1, then Piastri and Sainz. Behind you, you've got Russell, Alonso, Bottas and Perez. Copy. As a reminder, usual switch off here. Good job, mate. Thanks a lot. Thanks.
