Go for it, go for it.

So, the rest of you will expect to be five seconds slower than us on our lap. I've had discussion of the SC2 gap and why you should reduce that time.

Verstappen, 9.7 knots.

On third lap, just look at your turn. I haven't braked, so I'm not sure of that. Just low some speed on the A.C.2. Making the gap now. Making the gap. Gap 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Remember just make the gap now.

Russell opening up that niche now. Goes from 10 ahead, you're good, and overtaking to turn 3. Russell pushing down behind.

That's your eight.

Russell 7. Three cars go behind ahead of you, Lawson. 5.5 ahead. Russell 6. Russell 5 and that's an overtake. Exit turn 10. Russell 3.

Russell 2. Attack. Russell 2. One shot Russell please. It's 1. Slow sound to open ahead of you. Slow sound opening now. Gap is good.

Next stop opening. And you're good.

Both axles, three portacus down.

As the lap time goes, go in and work your brakes on the lap note right behind.

11, Maurice 9.5.

Lexus quicker sector 1, slower sector 2 and back.

Just tune the opening. Tyres, I guess. Tyres. I'll work them on the lap after the brakes.

Brakes 10.4. Tsunoda pushing 9, working the brakes on the lap, back on track.

Up with flap. Jump 7 push. Still working your brakes.

4 plus 2, Alex. If we exit and turn one and you are probably more cautious, it's braking and exit. So that would be 4 and 3.

Leclerc, stay in the car.

Close to you. So be sure with GPS and watch out for that too.

Tyre readiness, turn one. Think a bit tight. Yeah, four.

Good job. Good in line. Remember your job at SC2 as usual.

I will be briefing the Autopolis Seminar.

Oh, what a position at the queue.

OK, we're eight in line, so it's not bad. Just looking at if there is any wheeling possible between 3 and 7.

I don't have any GPS for the gap at the moment. I don't know where you are. I can see on the onboard, but not with GPS.

Nice 3.5.

Build-up, build-up. Keep building. Building. Building. OK, I will need to look to push 7 and S. Norris opening. No, I turn 1. I don't have a good GPS. So Norris 5. Gap ahead is 9 and I have GPS. And overtaking at turn 3. Norris 4. Pushing 7-8. Difficult for us. Norris 4.

2.5. I wish to watch out Norris. One with you. Next car, Piastri, 12. Two cars to open ahead of you.

No DRS. We're being overtaken at turn 10.

Full throttle open. Bearman first car, gap 8.5.

Only Bearman to open. Bearman opening now. Yuki to Piastri. Gap ahead is good. Next car to open is you. That is looking good. Up is good. Pears are in the paddock window and you go push.

Push. Expect some gas there. No, it's a one.

Watch out Lawson, opening 4 behind. Lawson 4. Watch out Lawson 4 pushing. Lawson 3, 8 for a lot of casting to close the lap. Lawson 3 and 2. Watch out Lawson 2, then you will have Ocon 10. Lawson 2.

Alex Triton is quicker than you, Lawson one with you. And then I have Ocon sixth. After Ocon, we'll have Colapinto. Tsunoda again.

I try to cut two. One. For you.

I'm keeping with you until that 7.

OK, wait. Stop in front of Piaresco, a little one.

So, give me some feedback, Alex. A tense quicker sector 1, a tense quicker sector 2, a tense quicker sector 3.

We need a P14. P16 Colapinto was 120 seconds away.

Okay, we need to find something. I don't know if it's a track damp or what, but I still have struggling to...

Alpine is five seconds. Five seconds.

All right, just make sure you have a gap at C2, gap at C2.

I think GPS is going a bit crazy again, so I'll have to monitor your gap.

So I still do not know where you are. So just make sure you have your gap and remember to discuss once you cross the C2.

Reset 21-15.

Coming up on 7, Gasly ahead. Four cars to go ahead of you.

Go back and go for turn 7, 10, get the edge.

Look out for a burn ahead of you. First car, Gasly. 8.03 behind. You're clear of Russell. First car, Puchin. Last is 9.09 ahead.

Happy for the race to start below target, just Gasly to open ahead of you. We have Russell behind, Gasly by the head, he's trying to make a good gap. He's trying to make a good gap. A good gap. Safe from Russell, gap at 7, gap is good. Gap at 8 and you go push.

Workshops are opening. P5 behind. That's great.

That's just one. With you, clear behind. Alex, 9.6 seconds quicker than you. That's a tenth sector one, it's lower sector two. That is a tenth quicker sector.

Fuck, I'm flying planned tyre on this lap.

Bit better, 6.32, but there are a lot of stilts we get.

Watch out for Leclerc. Oh, push it!

Check the bottom of the car. Exit turn 13. Leclerc pushing 2. Turn 1 was good relative to Alex. Leclerc 1. Leclerc review. Clear behind main load. Check 1 was exit turn 3. Exit turn 3.

Any advice on line, on end field, turn 3 and exit for distance?

Stop coming in and box, box.

Yeah, I think I was... No, that was for Alex. Alex will bridge not you.

I'm currently leaving the flap. I'm going to look at the data and we'll have a chat. We should have a minute and a third in garage.

OK, Carlos, see you at the 10.

That's seven, probably happy.

I will be calling all people between matching and five seconds slower. Red Bull is similar.

Alpine will be similar to five seconds slower than us. Make sure you make your gap to Gasly.

We'd like to push more than 7, compared to this. Push more than 7.

Make sure you take the gap out of the C2 now.

First car pushing will be Norris. Captain Gasly at 7, Norris opening now.

Gas to the H-red. I'm a step behind.

It's 8 behind, actually 7 ahead. The car's still open.

It's probably 7. Must be 8 to hit.

No S5, no DRS, no S5, pushing.

Think about out of sync 2 if it's possible for you. That's number 4. That's 5 ahead. This is still not open. That is 3. Gasly, 5. You have a gap to Gasly. That is 1. With you. And you go push.

Seven. I shall let you know. I shall have Lawson opening behind. Lawson four. I'll be providing Lawson two. One with you.

And Alonso 6, pushing. Alex, I don't think will improve. That's 8. Alonso pushing 4.

Tyres. Alonso 2, make sure you have a good ball, Alonso. Alonso.

Alonso 2. Left Alonso. Alonso 1.

OK, wait for it. Good job.

So, are you confirming plan A for Q3? You still want that first run, correct? Yeah, confirmed.

I feel like that lap was the limit of how close I can start turn 1. So, same as FP3.

Let's put a good compromise for 6.2.

Let's talk about the guys quality control.

With everyone having closed the lap, BOP 10, so you're the cut-out car, Alex P15.

Just so you know, I'm in P4. It's only two tenths away. It's very tight. Everything you can play for Q3.

On your side, I'll wait to be connected.

Over to Lincoln, learning on that U-Shaft to maximise our last run.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

We've got behind the Merc, behind the Merc. Yeah. That's Russell ahead of you, three cars ahead, you're fourth in line. That's good, I'm about to quicken your gap.

Assault position. Make your gap now. GPS is again going a bit crazy. Make your gap as much as you can now. Just to let you know when Russell is after C2.

Pink, Russell, after C2, make your gap now, remember. And again, after C2, you're safe, no one's pushing. Making your gap once you pass the C2. And Russell, 7 ahead, you're good. Which tyres are this? Which run? It's run 2. Same outlap. Sparking off a bit, turning.

Russell 4 ahead, Alonso 8 behind. Only Russell 2 ahead of you. No DRS into 11. No weaving. Make sure you have a good gap to Russell also backing up after the stop into 11.

Careful turn 12, gravel left hand side, risk of damaging the floor. Russell 7 ahead. All the gap now. Russell opening is 7 ahead. You're good. Escort to open. Open 9 and you go push.

OK, leg cross. I'm working to break something in lap.

Actually, I can't keep up on that. It's clear behind.

Yeah, I'll put it in.

The closest sector to your run was sector 3.

The other people I used, Alonso, Semblantaman, you. Hadjar was quicker, two tenths quicker. And Lawson slower.

Obviously, Ferrari, maybe not the best performance, but they were four times quicker than us.

Used or new? Used.

I think mostly matching around those put-and-slow down guys that I set in box spot on the plateline.

Could you delete my lap time, please? Okay, we'll reset your lap time. Quick question.

OK, but not first car. We'll be behind the McLaren. Try to merge behind the McLaren. First McLaren, second McLaren, you're good. Go, go, go, go, go. Well done. You're ahead of Charles, ahead of Charles Lamington. Turn in line, you're good. Remember your gap. You're in control, so as much as gap as you can now. As much as gap as you can now.

And Norris is still before SC2, so keep building the gap. Keep building the gap. Hold position as much as you can. Gasly is still far from SC2. Hold position, please. Hold position. Leave it to me. Make sure you have your gap open. Remember what we said after SC2. Gasly, 8.5, 8.9 ahead, overtaking the 10-3. If I want to push more, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10, no DRS within use of attack. No DRS within use of attack. Gasly to Pern, he's 9 ahead.

Similar, same, but it's good you love her. We all love her, Nick. I knew you could push.

Just to be out of touch, Tom.

Hadjar turning 9 behind. Pace up now, pace up now. Do not give a tow to Hadjar. Keep the pace up now, critical please. No tow to Hadjar, critical. Gap 7. Push now, push now.

Don't give him a toe. Watch out, 4. Don't worry. 3. Last 3.

Jar two. Jar two. Jar one. I've got a jar with you. I can save fuel now. Slowing. Just Verstappen pushing seven.

Seven. Risk B8. Risk of Adrian Alonso.

Be true for five minutes ago. Verstappen, forward shot.

Alonso behind you, that's for sure. That's P9 at least. Verstappen 3, watch out. Hadjar about to close. Verstappen 2, watch out. With you. I think Hadjar will be through.

So that's P9, P9, Lawson, 5 milliseconds for P8. Yeah, that was too quick. It's P4. It's quicker. Box, box, box, box. Yeah, I wanted to understand why the tyres were minus 10 in the pits. Very strange. Well done, Carlos. It's still a lot of session understood on the tyres, but well done. Really well managed. Thank you. Yeah, it was close to maximum, I think. Maybe 10.3 with perfect tyres.

I think the autotrack condition has been a good reaction after a bit more difficult Q1.

I agree. Kudos for it.

Switch off fully the car when you jump out of line P0 and then go away to self-restraint.
