OK, we merge. We merge now.

Okay, I want you in the queue. P1 back to P2. Try to stay ahead of the sober.

OK, we're speeding quick.

We couldn't terminate. I'm back to pit lane, please.

Just Carlos, I think most of the cars are on used soft. So probably going to sit out on plan 0. Just, uh, I think, sober. I lose on that new soft, everybody else around I see are on used.

Forty seconds prior to 10.

30 seconds, I'm going to fire you up and confirm please.

Copy. Price fifteen. Remember, we make a gap early, huh? We should make a gap early.

What a gap. Parallax on SC2 now. Still Lawson ahead of you.

Also, just at the C2, make a gap. Also, slow. Make a gap. Two. Three.

Four, five, and six, six ahead. In your heart, I will try to make a gap in eight, twelve and thirteen, please. Pushing all the way to five, no DRS.

Gap to the car ahead now. Let's try to use three seconds if we can. Troll behind seven.

5, 4, head 4. We'll make the same kind of gap at 12.13, please.

Gap? No. Three seconds, please.

I can't gap. I'll do good. Gap at the 8. I'll go gas to open.

And more headwind turn 8. More headwind turn 8. So 9 ahead is the next stopper.

Russell 9 ahead. Russell opening the next gap open.

Vehicle at exit 14, full load all the way to pit entry. Box, box.

Do you want a flap at this position? Need to be going? I'll start turning up.

Box, box. Alex is good. Copied on half-up.

All brakes, all brakes. Watch the light.

You need to be old for this position.

Okay, battery. Gear past C2. Gear past C2, please.

Good start. Good start. Make sure gap is permanent.

Be clear on exit. Just making a gap to Bearman. We're good on timing. Make a gap 2.

3, 4, 5. You're good. First car to push Antonelli is at turn 80. Gap to Bearman 7.7.

After that first lap, we were 60 times quicker to our legs by turn 11.

Back off a bit in 8. It's going to be more punching. Back off 3 seconds now in 8. I'd like to push more 15, please. Back off now. 3 seconds, please. More, more, more, more, more, more. Kick off. And backing off again. 12.13.

I'm going to cruise wind is 8.12 and 13 knots. Back. Antonelli pushing 7. Try to back off turn 12. Back off now, 12. Nico Hart, Antonelli 5. Back off and let Antonelli pass. Back off. Antonelli 3.

Keep pace. They are pushing Russell 5.

I have two cars to open ahead of you.

Russell 4. Only one car to open ahead of you. Russell 3. Finger of Tinto with Antonelli. Russell 3. You're the next car to open. Russell 3.

Offset 2.5. I'll go push.

OK, you go in. Not far behind. Lexus 41.7, you're 41.6.

And you're matching him just quicker. 1-10, sector 2. Back on flap, please.

Clio P1. Only 13 cars have made the lap. Turn and stay negative, please.

Copy. Yeah, I'm happy with the car.

Check air instability, turn 5. Turn 5, 12 kph, tailwind gust.

I think we're relatively locked a bit.

He went quicker there compared to Alex, where Alex is quite good. He's on 3, turn 8 I think.

OK, I've turned 80. There's a bit of time on entry. That's good, less conflicting than Alex, mostly losing me to exit, so just focus on me.

Exit. So just focus on the throttle and position. Exit pace. Offset behind. I'll stop in 12.13 and put on 3%

OK, we want to set a lap record. Leclerc on new soft, 41.6.

Christian, I have just a black line to do a lap.

To sit out, I think we might be OK. Faster than SQ3. Watch out Alonso pushing free. Alonso pushing free and box, box. Weight bridge, weight bridge. So engine off P1, back to P2. Let's go back to P2 and wait for instruction.

Good to fire up when you're told so.

I will stop in front of the garage quality now.

Carlos, can you give me a flap? I'll tell you when you're ready.

Why don't we go to La Juste, for example?

Well, when you're not on the other one, I'm not supposed to go at the end with that.

OK, that's good. Just watch out for gap ahead. I see Gasly at the exit. We have a few cars opening their laps at the back here.

He's on Norris. I think he's on the double stroke. He'll be in sync. Verstappen first car pushing at turn 18. We're good on timings. Gasly at EC2.

I'm probably sinking.

Gasly five ahead. Six ahead. Gap is good. Verstappen at turn one pushing. Followed by Antonelli. Fabian Verstappen one. Verstappen with you. Antonelli exit turn one. Antonelli five pushing.

Tyres off to a bendy 2.

One. With you. And start pushing Russell 7.

Russell's six behind pushing.

Russell 4 and 3. Russell 9. Russell 2. Russell 2 pushing. 1. Stroll 7 pushing. Stroll 6. You go out.

Let me know if you hear anything when I do offset this. I will for the people here.

Just make everything on your side to be ready. Stroll 2 pushing. Forward by Alonso at 9. Stroll 1. With you, take the pace from turn 14. Alonso 6 pushing. Only one car to open ahead of you.

I don't give a fuck.

We'll do similar to the previous lap, Alonso three.

You're the next gap hooper.

We need to open along road two pushing. One with you. Lawson pushing six. And you go push.

OK, go in, aborting, go in, aborting, we're safe.

Just Hamilton pushing six behind. Watch out Hamilton pushing six behind.

Beacon two, one, with you followed by Norris six pushing. Watch out for Norris. Norris four.

Lando Norris, 3. Lando Norris, Colapinto, 7. Pushing. Norris, 1. With you, Colapinto, 6.

Otto Colapinto, Pierre Piastri, Iso Colapinto, 5. I should be 12. Nico Hulkenberg.

I cannot stay on the delta because of the amount of cars I have to let pass. Yeah, I think that's fine.

Not to crash, not to impede anyone. That's fine. Good job there. I'm boxing.

That's okay. You're good. Four, four feet in line for P5 and behind you.

I'm going to put your gap in C2.

Russell, still slow. Your feet in line. Russell, I see two. I'm sure you've got your gap. Russell, still slow. Still slow. Step two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Russell, six ahead.

Need to be good at that.

Good. Good, Dad, please.

We need to park fast, we should go in turn 8.

Critical to back off. Three second into a night, OK?

And braking off. No!

I need turn 10, I would like to pack off 50 kph, 5-0.

Fuck, you've got to be kidding me.

And braking off again three second into turn 12, please.

All cars to plan ahead of you. Russell 5 ahead, Tamsin 4 behind.

You just have to watch your delta before you open the lap. Russell seven ahead. Delta ground for plus two.

More headwind on turn 11.

Next lap open. Gap is good.

And you're a good girl.

OK, that was a good lap. He's tech, C23, I think he lost three turns. Clear behind, so 1-0 DELTA, sit back and flap.

Yeah, I'm having a flop. It's just the tyre deal for me.

Fernando Alonso, we're a bit far putting our lap on the circulation, so maybe it needs to be there. My legs 41.5. I have a 10 sector 1, a 10 and a half sector 2, and 3 and a half sector 3.

Turn 18 was braking point five metre. I was too late. Five metre.

USA-Lex, on your tyre. Yes, yes.

Go in the pitlane. Okay, we're leaving the flap.

Again, just to let you know, we had to miss that close corner, UPP 9.

Looking at the next run of ROP.

Keep turn 10 eleven to 17 in managing. This is slightly closer to the car. Head to the pedal up.

Go, go, go, go, go, go. You're good, you're good, you're good, go, go, go. You're good. Good job. Remember, gap is C2.

Okay, we have Dr Norris, he's slow at the exit. 07 in queue.

I have no grip under braking. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

Make sure you have a gap, Russell, feel slow. Russell, I see two. I have a gap now.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are good.

Russell is far ahead. He has a large gap. Norris will probably want to push the comfort of the third lap.

Gap threshold four. He's leaving a gap of 13 to Norris. Six car open ahead.

Good on timings. Good with traffic. Russell 4 ahead. It's leaving a big gap to Norris.

I'm so far ahead.

Three cars to open. Russell five ahead. Rating seven on Russell, please.

Russell is the next car to open. Russell is five ahead.

Similar wind propulsion. Still at that tailwind.

Threshold opening. Fab ahead. Still at that tailwind turn 5. Threshold opening. Gap 6. No grip.

OK. Follow you delta. I've got to be 14.

That's good, sector 1. I'm lost in some corner, sector 2.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fucked up. It's not put on. There's no grip.

Sun is clearly out. I feel much less grip.

I'll just check Carlos. It's a good effort. He's got a good car for tomorrow. So I'll regroup and I'll get back into it.

OK, so you'd be 15 down, it's just 10 out of 100, come on.

Did Alexia improve on this last lap? It did not. 41.55. That's quicker than you. So, at 10 sector 2. At 10 out of sector 2.

Slow in, please. Continue standing as far as you can.

Stopping at your garage, under Parc fermé please.
