Second. Seven.

That's slightly ahead of you. Back up, build up, please. Up one and build up the gap, please.

We want to push high speed more versus P2. Gap at 4. I've strolled on track is slow. Gap at 6. Turn is 7 ahead. Tsunoda 14 ahead. Hadjar 21 ahead. Gaps are good. We've got to be clear for the first car opening. No DRS. No DRS. No DRS.

And you're caught at WN8. Three cars to open.

Spoke as to puncture, that's six ahead.

Queen versus Melati yesterday. 2.0 gap to throw down, 2.0 head gap only three.

3, nothing behind. 3, 4, 5, 6 and you go push.

Rear axle on the lower side.

OK, single slope plus 40 drop rear. No thread behind. We lost two tenths sector 1 to Alex. Sector 2 is a match. Sector 3 is in the last corner. I think that was good. Full load in the straight. Think about using right toggle for turn 3 and 4. That's where we lost the most. It's nearly two tenths there. And then additional tenths in 6 for minimum speed for Alex. The rest of the lap was good. No thread behind.

I'll take your feedback.

Yeah, I know I was struggling a bit with the rear in low speed. It could be the tyre, so it should be better now. Was it better towards end of lap? Yeah, much better. Ok, good. I'll come back to you.

Need some full load, so full load in straight lines, slow in corners, drop the rear. Just pushed entry of turn 4 a bit too much, led to losing time exiting the snap. So focus on that turn 4 and entry to mid turn 6.

Can you go mode 2, please? Bearman pushing 6 behind.

Climb on four, Ocon, ten, pushing. Climb on two.

And one. With you, Ocon6.

5. Busy ahead, so I put the drop down now. Ocon, 2. Thank you.

Clear behind. When you can, we need some full load.

Beaming 2, but I'll right-toggle the 3-4.

Antonelli. Ocon, Alpinto, Norwegoz, it's P5. Antonelli, Tsunoda. P2.

Just one turn early to open, P3. A bit of full load and then hold on at P16. Phase boxing, so just gap to Colapinto. Colapinto 3, 4.

Leclerc opening one behind, Alonso 10, Leclerc with you, pushing.

Control 10, taking a double plus 20 drop rear maintenance console, quicker than previous one. With the same turn 4, committing too much on entry and losing on exit.

Last lap as well, 13. The rest of the lap, closing the lap, was better, 15 to the start finish.

That's Alonso pushing 5. The double slow, Alex on his double slow. Alonso 4. I'll take a feedback.

Timing. Actually, I like sector 1. We lost a pit on that one compared to the previous lap.

To Alex, we matched turn 3-4, lost a tenth and a half, turn 6-7 was a match, and lost a tenth in the last corner.

That's this lap solved. Leclerc 25.9, Nico 3.11.

I like CC2 and R10s. It's mostly sector 2 and 3 where I like it.

Gasly, open. Russell going slow. Gasly on start and finish now. Gasly, turn 1. Gasly with you. And Russell behind slow. Remember, that's the outlap DRS down to turn 6. I'm going to do an outlap. I should have seen who's pace turned 10 to 14. I'll go a bit behind.

So you are go out, go out, backing off, exit of 14, the slow zone to open, 8 ahead, no weaving.

Go through this pit. You'll have a free air lap. Don't fall behind. Next car to open.

I need a go-push.

OK, you go in.

Go. Keep going.

Back up as much as you can now, Alonso, pushing 9. I'll let you know on tyres.

Are we OK to open another one? Just Alonso pushing 5. Yeah, yes. Yeah, happy to open. Alonso 3, happy to open. I'll let you know on timings if we can close out of zone 1 with you. Clear behind. As a match, turn 3, 4, improve the B6, 7, and still 6 on minimum.

Reduce speed to 36, although we'll be slow next lap. Gap 7. It's open.

Go in and box, go in and box for timings. We need returns now, so go in and box.

Stop in front of the garage, call it a mark. Back on the mechanical change and flap, please.

Yeah, I had a better feeling in low speed, worse feeling in high speed.

Gear keeper. I think we don't have time, so happy to keep it for myself. I hope I pick up here in high speed. That's what I need.

So we leave the flat post.

Oh, Lex will be slow. He's closing his lap, so no threat of being zipped. Bortoleto's slow on a cool lap. We're ahead of him. That's a good gap of 15.

I put no DRS into 6, pushing turn 9 to 14.

Go hot, please. Go hot. Pushing 9-14. My head of view is on a double slope. Turn ahead.

Same for Hulkenberg.

There's two cars ahead of you. I think I'm on double slope, so they'll come back. I'm a bit behind. I'll explode at 26.1. 26.1.

Speed up to 15. Weaving, no DRS. Lawson opening now. Hulkenberg will be slow, he's eight ahead.

About six ahead. Boxing you the next car to open.

OK, you go in, go in. There was a piece of tyre or something on the car in the middle of 15. Copy. Part on track, turn 15. Copy. The rest of the lap was good. 3-4. You gained two Alex, lost a bit turn 6. The rest of the lap was good. Better in the back edge. And that's just at turn 15. So good progress. Just focus on turn 6. Box, box, pit back on flap.

I'm happy with lap. I need still more grip in. I need more front in 6, more rear in 7. Finish reverse on full load time. Full load time. Have a chat with Marco. We have a small turnaround, you can have a chat with him.

That's red flag, red flag.

A lot to do, yeah. Come earlier. I still need to pedal the racing line.

Full load again. Remember, it's critical in this condition. I have to be all the way in quality. Focus on full load, no coasting.

That's my revs, hell.

I rev than full load. Full load is a priority. I rev, you can't.

Just 26 yards from washing out, but less understeer than my legs. Let's look at the data. Oh, we can have a chat with this red flag anyway.

We'll have 30 in cabbage, no time to look at things, OK? I'll use right away with the Marco and Pat.

Creeping in 45 left.

Go that way, please.

First car that will open is Bortoleto, currently at turn 90.

Verstappen ahead of you. Make your gap 2 minutes 50 left.

Verstappen will open soon. Antonelli at turn 3. Make sure you gap now. Verstappen 3, 4, 5. Looking probably for a harder lap. Verstappen 7. No DRS and weaving to turn 6. Gap to Verstappen 2. Bortoleto last corner opening now. VERSTAPPEN

I've got nine, I'll go to turn two.

9 to 14, Bortoleto 11 behind pushing.

I can't open the head. I think everyone is doing a relatively hard outlap. Bortoleto, 8, pushing.

Go hard, please.

Six. And you're good to go.

Slow DRS, go out please. Verstappen 5 ahead. Two cars to open. Verstappen to open, 4-3-2-1-9 behind. 4-3-2-1-0. Yellow at turn 12. Verstappen gap 4. Opening gap Verstappen 5.

OK, that's red flag, red flag, Bortoleto 1-off. Bortoleto 1-off, so that's go in, go in, make sure you don't put too much low brake pressure. And that would be the end of the session, 50 seconds. Box.

Remember, full load. I should be a chance, please. 10, Verstappen ahead. It's just Bortoleto on the left-hand side of the 13. The drivers are in debris, OK, but just watch out.

Let's go in. Go in, please.

We need to go in. Thank you.

OK, plus 0.4. Alex Kulopan was not improving. He got quite a bit of traffic.

I'm just watching out that Bortoleto, I'm not sure if they brake at 13.

Box, box. I will pick up. Stop. I do not.

I have a red flag, so turn over to kick. Turn over to kick.

Park stop on max. Hold brakes. Engine off.

There's going to be a crash at every turn. Can you replace my car? OK, copy. I'll ask for it. Thank you.

OK, this is surprising. Leclerc did his lap, Abidjan did not. Second set, Leclerc 25.5, Alex P7, Yuki P12. It's 10.5, what you lost on 15 relative to, uh,

Oh, I think we got that loss. It's pretty much a match. It's just something else with 10-6.

Yeah, I need to have a look with...
