12:05:43
Got a yellow flag turn at 15. Be straight out. Got Lewis at turn 1. Gap now 3 behind.
12:06:07
Target minus one. Stroll at five seconds on a lap. It's clear at 15 now. Stroll now at three and a half.
12:06:25
Our next car is Leclerc at seven seconds on a lap.
12:06:45
Two seconds and then there's eight behind him.
12:06:57
See you in a five-way, you will.
12:07:14
Is the car ahead of full or out?
12:07:20
Bortoleto is a cool lap. He's off the medium.
12:07:30
10 seconds. Bortoleto.
12:07:36
So Colapinto is eight behind. Next lap will be strat 2.
12:08:00
So currently three below target.
12:09:44
Hadjar, two seconds.
12:09:55
Hadjar on a lap, then Bortoleto just completed. Target minus 16. We've got Albon four seconds on a lap. Three, two seconds.
12:10:15
That's a 5 into L1. Make your change for the second set. Verstappen six seconds, L5 on a lap.
12:10:24
Four seconds. Got a yellow at turn 10. OK, that's clearing.
12:10:37
There goes Stroll now, six seconds on a lap.
12:10:44
Four seconds to Stroll.
12:11:00
George, just let me know if you want to pass through the pitlane for a flap adjust.
12:11:18
So, currently P5, we've got Norris 42.2, that's on the soft tyre, and on the medium tyre we've got Bortoleto in P3, he's a 42.6.
12:11:37
Targeting minus 22. I've got soft runners behind Norris. Leclerc also 42.2.
12:11:47
Albon's just done a 42.9 of hard.
12:11:52
First car on the lap, Sainz, 19 seconds.
12:12:45
And then I'll start it. Colapinto is just finishing and with Leclerc starting at two seconds now.
12:13:25
OK, so it's Ocon now at five seconds on a lap.
12:15:33
Heavy traffic, 12 o'clock, keep pushing.
12:17:07
Strat 1. Box. Box. We have cruise modes off in lap.
12:17:22
And we've got Leclerc at seven seconds.
12:17:44
Cruise mode. Cruise mode 3, exit of turn 6.
12:17:57
And then cruise 4 to cancel.
12:18:17
And cruise 5, exit of turn 15.
12:18:25
Alonso at 11 seconds on a lap.
12:18:41
And then cruise six where you are. And then going up to cruise seven.
12:19:30
And that was good on the marks.
12:32:45
Brake straight out. Track is clear.
12:32:55
Target plus zero. Green six.
12:33:06
We'll do green at 6, position 3.
12:33:25
So, Tsunoda first car on a lap, 13 seconds.
12:33:38
About ten seconds.
12:34:01
Now, four seconds.
12:34:26
Ocon at 7 on a lap. He's strat 2 next lap.
12:36:37
Stroll at five seconds, just opening a lap.
12:36:47
The target minus 22. We have a double slow here. Got Stroll at four. Now three seconds.
12:36:59
Two seconds to stroll.
12:37:24
And Lewis, 15 seconds his first half.
12:37:42
Lewis had 10 seconds on a lap. Let me know if you need any flap adjust in the box.
12:37:56
Pace. So, five behind. So, currently P3, four tenths to Leclerc, got Lewis two behind now on a lap. And then it's eight seconds to Sainz on a lap.
12:38:13
So, main time loss is at turn 16, that's braking and entry. Sainz at three. Now two seconds and then Bearman at five.
12:38:30
Bearman now three and two seconds. Just make sure we're not going slow exit of turn 16. Keep the speed up there.
12:38:43
Hong Kong at three seconds on a lap.
12:38:47
Don't go slow, hour 16. You've got Ocon at two seconds on a lap.
12:39:01
Bortoleto at two seconds, maybe opening a lap. I'll just come through the pitlane.
12:39:08
No flat required, drive through. Copy.
12:39:39
Target minus 18. You've got 17 behind two Verstappen. He's just completing a lap.
12:40:06
Is Sarma completed? Looks he has completed.
12:40:18
Yellow flag, where you are.
12:41:23
Alonso 13 behind on a lap.
12:43:32
Nothing wrong with the rear right, is it?
12:43:39
Can't see anything in detail. Just looks like rear's popped out the window. It's got hotter and hotter.
12:43:51
Yeah, box. Copy, box. Still clear behind.
12:44:06
Just give us a road check, do you have a... 2 o'clock right. Copy.
12:44:31
Turn short. Turn to the right.
12:44:46
Can you check the sidewall of the rear right to see if I've touched the wall anywhere?
12:49:57
It will be 5.5 to practice race start outside of the pitlane.
12:50:09
I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.
12:50:15
So there's a 18 second gap behind Stroll to Alonso. Currently 20 seconds behind you. And we go strapped at 7.
12:50:34
No transcript available
12:50:51
So clutch was on target.
12:50:55
We've got a yellow flag at turn eight. That will clear Bearman's reversing out of the escape route. A lot of leather behind you.
12:52:13
And green at 13, position 7.
12:54:01
So Verstappen on the soft at 46.8.
12:55:58
So we'll get three more laps. Piastri 46.8, Verstappen 46.6.
12:57:15
I'm happy to ignore the oxidation limit.
12:57:35
Just move the rear right a little bit.
12:57:48
We've got a yellow flag turn 4. Leclerc has touched the barrier. He's reversing out of it.
12:59:34
OK, one more lap.
12:59:51
I'm going to back off, Liam. Copy that. So Lewis at six seconds on a lap.
13:00:05
Lewis at 4 and then you've got Alonso at 10 behind him.
13:01:25
So, no going slow out of 16. Got Alonso at two seconds.
13:02:02
So target minus 10 on tyres.
13:03:55
So we'll be posting from turn 20.
13:04:18
Right or left? Left-hand side. Three burnouts.
13:05:30
Safety car, safety car. Strat 1 delta positive.
13:06:30
Red flag, red flag.
13:07:31
So we'll be off the fox, practice pitstop and switch off.
13:08:00
And good on the box.
