12:57:44

I think you need to pull me back now. Is it OK to do that or not?

12:57:50

Yeah, the guys are here, but we think you can make it.

12:58:12

We need to switch off for temps just under two minutes to help pitlane open.

12:59:09

That's one minute now. We'll wait 20 seconds and then fire up.

12:59:28

And you can fire up.

12:59:55

And 15 seconds now.

12:59:58

Obviously, we'll be a fast outlap here and both outbeams have been constructed to do the same.

13:00:06

Can I go more out now?

13:00:10

Stand by, Nico. I'll let you know.

13:00:28

You can go mode out.

13:00:44

The first car is Gasly and then Colapinto.

13:00:49

First car in front of you, I mean. Colapinto is the first car on track.

13:01:40

Colapinto's in turn 14, 12 seconds in front of Gasly.

13:02:00

Colapinto should be starting now. Twelve seconds in front of Gasly. Gasly, six in front of you.

13:02:16

Gasly 6. Mode push. Gasly 7.

13:04:04

And charge button on.

13:04:10

And we can stick to plan. We can do double cool and pass through the pitlane to hold the car. First car pushing will be Norris. Norris, 7 behind.

13:04:24

Norris, 4, pushing.

13:04:33

Norris, one.

13:04:42

And I think the car behind Norris aborted, so nobody for a while.

13:05:05

First car pushing is Verstappen, 1-T-1 behind.

13:05:16

How is the balance, Nico?

13:05:22

Yeah, not bad. Make me a sniff about this steer. Especially turn 1.

13:05:29

Verstappen, 14 behind, pushing.

13:05:56

Ends through the pitlane. I'll do plus one front wing. Copy. I don't know if Gasly has a different delta, but he's going way slower than me.

13:06:50

Multi P3 position 2 when you can. Multi P3 position 2.

13:06:54

You can stop the flap adjust and then we will have to carry on the timing.

13:07:05

Let me know what you do. Plus one.

13:07:24

And first car opening is Antonelli coming into turn one now. Watch for Antonelli. And then a big gap behind him.

13:07:49

And main loss to Gabi, turn 10 to turn 13.

13:07:58

And he's using just less brake pressure throughout more minimum speed in that section 10 to 13.

13:08:08

The car in front is Gabi. Gabi didn't have the time to stop in the pitlane. So he's pushing next lap or what? He will push next lap, yep. And the first car pushing behind is Colapinto in 15 seconds.

13:09:04

And there are around four cars in front of Gabi that will open now.

13:09:14

Two behind two. Next car pushing is Alonso, he's a ways back, 20 seconds behind two.

13:09:23

And there's only one car in front of Gabi. He's got a six second gap.

13:09:29

You have a five-second gap to Gabi. Gabi should go now. And Alonso still 13 behind.

13:11:22

Okay, Nico, nice improvements. Let's box this lap.

13:11:37

And first car push it will be Norris. Norris 14 behind.

13:12:41

And Norris, 7 behind, is pushing. Let me know about flap, Nico.

13:12:48

Track's ramping up, I don't know, I think, like, two clicks. What do you think? How do we compare? Let me know. Yeah, I'll ask the guys.

13:15:05

Still three minutes now until checkered flag, until end of Q1.

13:15:20

And for info, main losses to competitors, Williams especially, is mid to exit turn 13.

13:15:29

Two minutes, 35 seconds now.

13:15:35

Stroll is the first car on track. He's opening now.

13:15:42

And next car to push will be Verstappen, seven seconds.

13:15:50

Car in front is Hadjar in sync with you. Verstappen six behind is pushing.

13:16:04

And also in E16, no need to push braking. Focus on mid-corner there.

13:16:12

Verstappen more behind, he's pushing, and then a big gap behind him.

13:16:30

Verstappen to behind his pusher.

13:16:39

And next will be Piastri, 16 seconds.

13:16:53

And one minute, 15 seconds to the plug.

13:16:58

And Piastri 10 behind, pushing.

13:17:11

Hadjar has Norris six in front that will open now. Piastri three behind the cushion.

13:17:19

Norris is going. Track is clear in front of Hadjar.

13:17:25

Hadjar, seven seconds in front.

13:18:26

And single yellow underrun. Single yellow.

13:19:17

Slow in lap, Nico. Slow in.

13:19:26

I'm still waiting on a few cars to finish. Currently P13.

13:19:34

We are safe, Nico. Good job, yeah.

13:19:47

Turn 3 was a bit messy that lap. I don't know, it's a special one. Maybe a bit too much. OK, copy that. We'll have a look. Into exit was very clean. Lost a bit of time there.

13:21:17

How is the aerobalance on this lap, Nico?

13:21:45

Yeah, I think it's not far off. It's, you know, there is some understeer but at the same time I also have some stability.

13:34:18

No transcript available

13:34:36

The car in front is Norris. First car opening is Sainz. He's in the last corner now. And there's a 16 second gap behind Sainz.

13:35:05

And first car pushing will be Alonso, 14 seconds.

13:35:28

Alonso ten and then Tsunoda six behind him.

13:35:50

Alonso 7.

13:36:06

Alonso five and then Tsunoda seven. Norris is five and a half front and will be clear in front of him. Watch for Alonso now, one second, then Tsunoda seven.

13:36:23

And Norris is going now. Track will be clear in front. Norris 7 and 1.

13:38:11

OK, Nico, nice clean lap there. Good job. And track is clear right behind.

13:40:18

I'd say a bit of understeer still at a high speed.

13:40:23

Low speed is probably about there. Yeah, I copy that.

13:40:32

A little bit turn 5 there, that entry bit, the rotation.

13:40:37

And a little bit in the last quarter.

13:43:25

That's Piastri in front and then Alonso and Norris in front of him.

13:43:32

First car pushing is Tsunoda, opening now. Then there's a 14-second Verstappen and then an 11-second gap to Albon.

13:43:44

Verstappen's in the last corner now.

13:43:50

Behind Verstappen, 14 seconds Albon and then 11 seconds Sainz.

13:44:18

Albon 5 behind pushing.

13:44:32

Albin, three and a half.

13:44:42

Next car pushing will be Sainz. Sainz, 14 behind.

13:45:10

Sainz 7 behind, pushing.

13:45:25

Piastri 6 in front, should be opening soon. Piastri has the track clear in front.

13:45:35

Piastri five seconds in front, Sainz three and a half behind.

13:47:20

Okay, Nico, nice improvement. Still one car yet to finish.

13:47:25

Slow in lap, please. Slow in.

13:47:35

Well done there, Nico, but that's P11 for us, unfortunately.

13:47:47

What's the cutoff? Cutoff was Bearman 30.076, so just less than a tenth.

13:47:57

OK, but not a bad place to start from.

13:48:04

That was a nice, clean, qualifying communicum. Well done. Yep. Thank you. It was about time.

13:48:50

And charge button on.

13:49:56

Yes, definitely, I can undo the belts. Yeah, you can stand by.
