Radio check for pitlane. Yeah, radio is loud and clear. It'll be straight out. We got Ocon first car on that back A, he's clear. Then it'll be Sainz. Sainz four behind. Three and a half. Target plus nine. Sainz on a lap at two seconds. Radio check sector one. Loud and clear in sector one. Next car is Norris at 11 seconds. Can we check the leg pad at our position on the right, front right of my car? Yeah, copy that. Will do. Got Norris at seven seconds.

Norris at 5. Hadjar in the final sector here. Norris at 4. We see you in strat 16. Norris at 3. 2. Then it's Bearman at 7 seconds. We strat 2.

Coming through and then it's Lawson at 10 seconds.

Gap to the gap. I had a bit of a shit show here.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

No bite, to be initial.

Clear behind. Strat 1. Single cool. First car will be doing it at 22 seconds.

Target minus 20. And just confirm that's brakes, your bike comment. Yeah. Copy. Brakes on the initial turn 1.

So, it was currently P1 three tenths to P3, Piastri three tenths ahead. Traffic? Just keeping on strong in case he's still pushing. No, he has backed off. It's just doing it at 11 seconds. Let me know if you need any feedback on that, Matt.

Nah, I mean, I'm two seconds behind Hadjar, so, um, not good.

They're doing that at three... no, two seconds.

And then next car is Norris. Twelve seconds on a lap.

So Norris did a single cool.

Still targeting minus 20 here. Norris at 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 seconds and then Bearman at 7, 6 to be

Six to Pierre, but on a lap.

Now it's clear to Verstappen at 26 seconds.

So we've got Hulkenberg, Hadjar and Stroll, potential traffic in sector 3.

Six, five, still waiting for Stroll ahead to go. Three seconds to Verstappen. Two seconds. Clear after Verstappen.

Albon at four seconds opening a lap, so strap one.

Seven seconds. Semi nice. Thank you. Lower double.

We're going to aim for a single. Yeah, we're going to aim for a single here. Norris at six seconds.

I'd probably prefer doing it on the C5 or are we confident that's not going to work?

Yeah, all right, let's box it. We can go for the third on the C5. That doesn't work, man. We can abort. So, Hadjar at four seconds.

I don't feel much bottoming. I feel quite high.

It was quite stiff round the last corner.

And that was good on the box.

I'll be straight out. Track is clear. Plus five.

So, Hulkenberg, 11 seconds is the first car on a lap. Just Leclerc, seven ahead on his out lap, he's got clear track ahead of him.

Hulkenberg, seven seconds. Hulkenberg, six.

All live.

Polk now at four seconds.

Three-six seconds to Hulkenberg.

Two seconds to Hulkenberg. All clear ahead.

Strat 2, next lap. Hulken 2.

Clear behind. Strat 1. Double call.

Target minus twenty-five.

Just keep an eye on Piastri. He's at seven seconds.

Piastri on a lap at 4.3.

Okay, clear until Tsunoda. 14 seconds.

Tsunoda 10.9.

Go to 6-5-4-3.

Two seconds, Tsunoda. Go.

Go. I couldn't downshift through the high speed. I pulled the gear, it wasn't going in. OK, I'll give you some feedback.

Clear now until Albon, over 30 seconds.

Flap. A-flip. Just give me a number.

Plus point three. Copy.

Albon at 18 seconds.

Flaps. Flap adjust and go again. All clear behind.

B-Bal plus point four.

Straight out. Bortoleto arm pit exit just completed. Two seconds, he's just completed.

Target minus eleven.

First corner lap will be Hulk. He's at 12 seconds.

So, went on your downshift because it's at too high throttle position. That's why I went downshift. Oh, yeah, I copy. Hulk at six seconds. Now five, four, three, two, one.

Three. Two seconds. Now one. And then clear to start.

Heading clear to Sainz at 15 seconds.

15 seconds. Target tyres. Minus five on tyres. Sightset 11, 10, 9.

Parker up here. Sixes.

Six seconds to Sainz, four, three, two, one.

Adam Norris at seven seconds.

At five seconds on a lap. Four. Three. Two seconds to Norris.

Tyres off target and we'll be strat 2 next lap.

So it'll be three burnouts and then 5.5 at practice race start, end of pitlane. There we go, strat 7.

So you've got Norris at two seconds. Clear after Norris, he's on consecutives, currently doing 33.8, 33.9, as Tsunoda just left the pitlane with you.

No transcript available

Verstappen lap 1 was a 35.3, 35.4.

So, Norris out there, he's doing 33.4 last two laps.

Can we find a better place?

Keep pushing for now. Through the pitlane would be a good option.

It's a box-box passing through the pitlane.

I'll be straight through and straight out.

Get small vibrations on the brakes. Plus one hundred. Copy that.

We've got Piastri alongside on exit and Hadjar is backed off, so he is out.

Oversteer ahead of Hadjar. Yep, oversteer ahead of Hadjar. He's still backing off Hadjar, but he's nine behind you currently.

So, Norris currently 33.9, 33.7.

That was weird, under braking. I've got a pendulum.

Oh, well, I'm back off. Something's not feeling right. OK, so Lewis at seven seconds on a lap.

Lewis at five, four, three, two seconds.

Gasly at six seconds. So we got just over a minute of the session left. Four seconds to Gasly, three, two seconds. And then behind Gasly is four and a half to Leclerc. Leclerc at four, three,

Once Leclerc is through, it'll be eight seconds to Lawson. You got 35 seconds of this session remaining. Six to Lawson. Five. Four. Three. Two seconds to Lawson. And then it's six to Doohan. Five to Doohan. Four. Three. Two seconds. And then you got Hadjar at six and a half. Now six.

Flag is out. We'll come round and have a practice start on the grid.

And we'll be right-hand side three burnouts.

Box, stop at the FIA waybridge and switch off. And we need you to pull the clutch in for three seconds.

What, after switch-off? No, before switch-off.

So pull the clutch here once, unstop for three seconds. Yep. And then release it. Then switch off. Then you can release it. Put it in neutral. OK, release it before switching off. And then jump out and come see me.

I haven't. You've done the... I need to switch off the cooling. I haven't switched off the cooling.

Yeah, it's dash position one.
