As a reminder, at the safety car line 2, we cannot exceed 10 seconds with the car ahead. So we try to stay between 5 and 7 seconds.

So the big lap will have to be a hard build to recover some of the temperature that we're losing now on these tyres.

One minute. I'll let you know when to fire up.

OK, engine start.

Green light. Exit is now open.

Take out to put up a two.

Three. Four. Five. Six. Let's go.

Let's engage 7th gear.

Charge off.

Gasly opening a lap just behind you. Charge on. Watch out, Gasly, right behind you.

OK, single pull-down. Clear behind for now. Full throttle for the battery.

Thank you. Next car pushing Hulkenberg, 5-4.

Good job. Next car, Norris, 5, Bortoleto, 8.

2.0 behind. Traffic in the sand. Yep, saw that. Colapinto 2.3 behind.

Front was quite good on the second lap, I would say.

Yeah, first lap was a little bit over the limit, but car length isn't too bad.

There's Norris opening a lap.

On the line. Actually, I just closed it.

We are pushing on the line and then you're clear on exit. Clear on exit. Colapinto ahead, 1.8

1-0, 4, 5, 6. Piastri, Verstappen, Schick, 3. No, not Piastri, close.

Piastri, close the lap. You're in sync. First car pushing. Bortoleto, 5.

Next car pushing will be Isaac, five behind.

We have three cars opening a lap. Isack, 2.5.

1.5, just behind.

OK, next car is 12 seconds behind. Russell is opening a lap now. Gap to Russell, 3, 4.

Four. Five. Charge off.

First lap. Clear behind for now. Charge on.

It's a full throttle reminder in the tunnel.

OK, Hulkenberg ahead of us. Pupiana double pull-up. I'll give you the gap to him. We have three cars preparing. Let's go.

Let's get some gap built in now. It's the last corner if we can.

We have a bit of margin to push more. One and three. I'll leave it to you. Looking for going now. Charge off. Let's go.

Alexander and Alexi will be going to suggest the same.

Pit exit is closed. We'll stop behind the other cars. Session will resume in 30 seconds. Engine off. Copy. Engine off.

Let's not beat the sun, if we can.

Let's go back to B2.

Liam's waiting four minutes. It would be a bit of a compromise for the first lap, so I will let you know about temperatures and we might take a little bit of margin, prep the car for the second push lap. So we still do the same plan as we discussed, but we focus on the last push on that first run.

OK. Copy.

Okay, Liam, out of turn 8 in the outlap, we will do a click overtake and that's going to be still okay for mode 1 in the next lap, just to give the tyres a little bit more boost.

There is no stress. We're not alone in this. There are other cars queuing and what counts is the two laps, three laps at the end of the session, as usual.

Engine start.

B-Taxi is open.

Gap to Alonso. In front.

One. Two. Three. Let's go. Four. Five. Seven. Perfect. One down. Thank you.

Recover and take out of turn 8.

Sainz opening a lap just behind you. Sainz 2-1 just behind you.

I had a random huge amount of engine braking at 17.

Full throttle in the tunnel for battery. First car pushing Russell, behind behind.

Charge off. Red flag. Fuck, I'm late.

Too late. Too late. That's just crazy. Sorry, John. It's OK. It's good for me.

Where is it? It's in the tunnel. There is Russell stopped in the tunnel.

How was the tyre in turn one? Last lap.

I think we're nearly at that, yeah, outpush stage.

And we box. Keep an eye on the bridge lights.

OK, now we need to respect the delta. First car pushing, actually, is Ocon on a build-up from 6 behind.

The only loss compared to ourself was exit of the chicane turn 11. I'm sure you know. Ocon, three seconds behind on a push.

Ocon just behind. Let's keep an eye on the delta. Keep an eye on the delta. Isack, my overtake is on an outlap. He's pushing a bit more.

Ocon opening lap. Gap, Ocon, three. Let's give a good gap. Four. Five. Six. Charge off. Push the last corner.

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Charge up. I'll keep you posted.

All right, we're in Q3. Both cars safe. Well done. Copy. The second lap wasn't as good as I was expecting. Copy. I think it's from tyres.

Yeah, just the second part. First part of the lap was quite good, so it's just warm-up, I would say. Understood. We'll focus on the first lap from now onwards then.

We box. Keep an eye on the bridge light.

Copy. I mean, just grip was really low, especially at the start of the lap, so hard to give a proper read. In terms of flap, if we do anything, we go maybe one click. Copy. We keep thinking.

He saw a bit of understeer at turn 3 in the previous run. I would agree with one click.

We can take our time on exit.

Gap to alpha. 1.5.

Albon, three, four, five, six. OK. Hard outlap. Let's push on these tyres.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Gap to Albon. Three seconds ahead.

You can build the gap now and push the last two corners. Build the gap now. Albon, last corner. Four, five, six. Albon going now. Let's push. Charge off.

Charge on. Keep you posted.

OK, it's over. We're P9.

Yeah, I don't know why I struggle with tyres so much, but like the start of the lap I just don't have, I don't have the grip through like the low speed section. Just fighting the car a lot.

P9. That's a good start for tomorrow. Isack P6.

It was a very clean weekend so far. Very good job, man. I know we wanted more, but we've done a good job. We'll review why the grip is not great in the first corner.
