OK, so it'll be 40 seconds to green light when you're down there. We'll leave the P.U. running.

Are we still doing prep?

So they've got 10 cars on track.

So we've got Ocon one and a half behind.

Confirm prep lap. Confirm prep lap. Ocon behind, he'll probably want to take a tow.

I'll assume everyone else is lap one. Ocon, two and a half behind. And then Pierre Bearman, another four behind him.

Bearman four behind.

Bearman two and a half, then another three and a half, so Stroll next car, three and a half, now two and a half, then there'll be Gasly four behind him, so Gasly four seconds.

Gasly cut free.

Next car will be Bortoleto at 4. Now 3. Now 2.

Alonso at 4.

And at the target plus three, Alonso at two and a half.

I'll do one and a half, then next car Colapinto set.

I can't get the support off.

Policy show three and a half.

Colapinto, two and a half there. Hulkenberg, four.

Hulkenberg straight off.

Hulkenberg at 2. He's going to be completing a lap.

Good gap behind Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg completing a lap. Good to go.

OK, Kimi, so we'll just plan for double cool. No pressure behind at the moment. We'll let you know.

Main, lost to George at mid-speed turn six, seven. That's a ten. Currently P5. We've still got seven cars to set laps. Eight cars to set laps.

Just make sure you stay on that delta.

We've got Norris at 10 seconds.

So, we will be doing double-cooled, so stay on track.

Are you sure I can't drop any temperature?

No time to drive through, but happy with that lap time, so we'll go again. You have Norris at four and a half. Just stay on the delta.

Then you cruise between safety car lines. Norris at one and a half.

Target minus 15. Piastri 5 behind. He's completing a lap.

No pressure behind. Hadjar's going to be completing a lap.

Hadjar behind, he should have just completed.

So, no pressure behind at the moment. Next car would be Lawson over 10 seconds away.

Think about pulling back braking in Parabolica about eight metres.

Bruno, tyres are so hot!

Yeah, copy me. But it's the medium tyre. We'll go for it and if we're down, we'll report.

Braking, evolution, no pressure behind. You've got four and a half behind. Four and a half ahead.

Forehead. Step forward a half.

We shall have fast in-lap, so keep the pace up on the in-lap.

Thoughts on balance, Kimi?

The balance was OK, it just had no grip.

Into pitlane and watch the weighbridge.

So, we'll stop you, Lach. So, look for top.

So gap is at four seconds. Clearance circuit now 4.3.

So, it's sick with all the cars around you.

This is a good target, set a target. What's that?

Diff magic in the last corner and opening the line on exit.

Gap ahead at 1.7.

No pressure behind. Gap at 2 ahead.

Now 2.3, now 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 50, 51, 51, 52, 52, 53, 53, 54, 54, 55, 55, 56, 57, 57,

Give me trouble, box, box. I'm going to have Alonso starting lap 12 seconds behind.

Alonso at six behind.

Alonso, Act 5 behind.

Last lap 3.0. Fail 2.0.

Mopeds just stay on top of that Delta. And we are safe.

Piastri at nine seconds and Sainz behind another five. Piastri now seven.

I've got Pastri out full.

Piastri, two and a half and then Sainz another. Five.

It's Sainz at two and a half and then Norris at seven.

And Norris at five seconds.

We'll stop you off. Sorry, stop on the mark.

Right.

I've got a 1.5 ahead, George. 2.2. 3.4. 5. Circuit's all clear. I've got a sightseeing elapser. No pressure. And it will be target plus eight.

Gap, 0.7 ahead. No pressure behind.

L5.8 ahead.

OK, so box, box. Stay on that delta. And no pressure behind.

George at P2 at the moment. We're at P5. It's a tenth and a half to George.

So up to George in sector one by three hundredths and then it's just over a tenth in the middle and eight hundredths in the final sector.

Small losses in 4, 5, 6, 7 and then last corner.

Kimi, sir, currently sitting P7. Three tenths to Verstappen, P1.

Straight out, we've got a Bearman ahead, so make sure we build a gap.

Turn cap open 1.2, nice completing lap now with you, fair bit at 2.5, at 3, 3.5, you build in the gap at 4.5.

A little bit target plus 10. Gap 5.7.

No pressure behind, just cause extra pace with you.

So you're five and a half ahead and then another five and a half ahead of Bearman to Ocon.

That should be clear sector 3.

Five and a half ahead.

Thank you. Albon are behind at five seconds.

Albon at two and a half. Albon car behind.

Heavy, so we are safe.

Well, that was a good lap.

Copy. Yeah, I'll agree with you there, mate.

May loss half a tenth to Verstappen mid-speed turn four.

So, currently P2, just one tenth of Verstappen P1.

And the sector is just five hundredths in sector one, seven hundredths sector two. You are faster in final sector. So purple final sector by three hundredths.

Straight out to put Norris' car ahead. Gap 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.3, 2.7, 3.8, 4. Circuit's all clear. Circuit gap about 5.5. Target plus 11.

So you've got six ahead, no pressure behind.

Kimi, so that's P8. Eight tenths to Verstappen, P1. Obviously on new tyres. Into pitlane and we'll stop you long. So look at the top.

No transcript available

Bortoleto three ahead. There's a group of cars, they're bunched. Give them a little bit more of a gap. So that's six.

So you've got six and a half ahead.

Target plus eleven. Group of three cars. Verstappen, Alonso, Bortoleto.

Gap at turn 5.9.

Gap at six and a half. No pressure behind.

Just think about beaming three for turn one.

Bortoleto's seventh half ahead.

Gap six and a half ahead. You're good to go.

OK, well done, Kimi. So that's P7. That's four tenths to Verstappen, P1.

Ah, man, I have no grip on the rear. So bad.

OK, copy. We'll just stay on that delta Q3 at lap.

No gimmick finishing order, so we've got Verstappen on pole, then it's Norris, Piastri, Leclerc, Lewis, then it's George, yourself, P7, and then Bortoleto, Alonso, Tsunoda.

P6 for tomorrow. Of course.
