08:53:13
Let's get on the marks.
08:57:54
Nobody bounced. One burn out, one burn out.
08:58:22
Okay, Ollie. So, stick with the cars ahead. Downstream pressure in 3 behind. Downstream 2.
08:58:33
I'll shoot one and a half.
08:58:40
Pinto 5 behind Pershing, Colapinto 4.5.
08:58:48
Colapinto three and a half, then it's clear after that. Colapinto three.
08:59:16
No more traffic here behind.
09:02:01
Hadjar pushing Antonelli's on top of 2.
09:02:20
That does not push it. OK, yeah, airboarded. Because you're in sync with all these cars around. So we'll take a single cool.
09:02:34
There's a bit of a gap ahead of Hadjar and Alonso.
09:02:47
Still no traction behind.
09:03:10
Closed lane stability in one. Closed by a rear lock kick.
09:03:24
Yeah, there's a bit of a tailwind there.
09:04:08
You want spark one? Yeah, spark one, spark one.
09:06:03
Lap Ali, mode N. We'll box this lap. Should be in sync with Antonelli behind.
09:06:16
Copy. That's currently P4.
09:06:54
First car pushing is Hadjar, 11 behind.
09:07:37
Box, box. I go four and a half.
09:08:22
Good on the marks, I'll extend under to the right.
09:15:10
OK, ramp at exit.
09:16:34
Okay, we're looking good. In fact, Hulkenberg had to open a lap, he's four ahead. Smoke, push, smoke, push.
09:17:22
Sorry. It's okay, we'll take a breath until you're in sync with Colapinto and Bortoleto behind.
09:17:46
It's so good to get those front tyres ready in turn 1.
09:18:18
OK, Ollier, tyres should be better this lap, and there's slightly less head weight at 1.0 DRS.
09:18:29
That's tough, that's tough. Okay, that's really, really tough.
09:21:07
Charge on. Excavation, Hadjar, 8 behind.
09:21:24
Pierre Hadjar, 5-4. Alright, stop pushing. Man, his tyres are terrible.
09:22:00
It's tough, I mean, I have the front tyres not ready still in turn 1, even with this crap that I did, but the rears are gone by turn 4, really.
09:22:17
OK, one option would be double cool now and then a single push.
09:22:22
Will I get one less push after? Yes, yeah. Yeah, for timing and fuel.
09:22:29
Or you can open a lap now and then a single crew and then one more push. Yeah, I think I'll do that.
09:22:44
Yeah, we agree, Oli. You're currently P9, by the way, so I think everyone's struggling there, Derek. Can put you P6, P7.
09:23:01
Still a little bit of brake time to open the lap.
09:23:18
I suspect Hamilton ahead, open a lap.
09:25:36
Hadjar behind, pushing.
09:25:43
And then Colapinto, six behind. Single-glue.
09:25:50
No, that was good, except 5. 5 was really bad. Agreed. Watch for Colapinto.
09:25:58
Is it the back tire pressure? Yeah, Piastri behind is in sync.
09:26:06
Yeah, there's just three tenths in turn 5. All day apart from that, it was a good lap. Currently P8. First car pushing is a Hamilton 7 behind.
09:26:30
Verstappen pushing. Negative, but he is coming quick. Tsunoda behind.
09:26:57
OK, Ollie, and we see you didn't use the left toggle in 5-6, just as a reminder.
09:27:09
Yeah, I don't think I want it. The snap came from front locking.
09:27:16
Copy. Next car pushing is Bortoleto, three behind, with Leto two.
09:27:21
I've broken out of four.
09:29:48
Russell behind will push.
09:29:58
Colapinto pushing 3.5.
09:30:19
Ah, it's so hard to get the tyres together. It's OK, Verstappen 3, Verstappen 2. Yeah, because in sector 1A, especially in sector 1A, the front side, there'll be no... There'll be a lot of overheating when I get to that lap 3. Copy. Hamilton 7.
09:30:42
Obviously 5 was better. Hamilton 4. Still P7. Hamilton 3.
09:30:50
Time at the 2 and 1.
09:30:54
All clear behind.
09:31:07
So main loss is to Albon. Turn one, turn five.
09:31:12
Yeah, I can... I can imagine. Yeah, you're currently set. I've done it a lot of times. Hey, you're coming round to take the checker. OK.
09:31:24
Let's go lap time 2. Albon, you both did a 41.98. Yeah, that one I lost a lot to myself. Yeah, 10th, but you turned P5.
09:32:11
OK, Oli, we can go to Parc 2 now. You go take the chequer on this lap.
09:32:33
OK, Esteban, 45 ahead. We could do an extra 15-20 seconds.
09:32:42
Yeah, I'll try to do it after the start, otherwise my tyres will be too cold. It's okay.
09:33:02
Mode slow and sock six.
09:34:03
OK, Oli, it'll be two burnouts on left-hand side.
09:35:38
Mode N. Esteban's 40 ahead. We need a 90 second gap.
09:35:48
Do as much as you can.
09:35:56
Park up, grab a coffee.
09:36:44
Pirelli's come, braked, then hit me at 16.
09:36:56
Some brake temps you can attack at entry.
09:37:03
I attacked it in the previous lap, so I'm backing out of time.
09:37:11
Copy, I'll need box now, box now.
