15:05:09
How far off P2? Two hundred. Super close to Piastri. Had a mistake or something. First sector I guess. Because of track limits previous lap.

In the pitlane, in the board number three, board number three.

Anyway, I'll park for the last qualy to collect gas. Yeah, thank you very much. Good work out there.
