Let's go in mode push for now so I can see the time of day on my dash.

OK, Oli, so we think it's about six cars ahead of you, so you should be the seventh car. We need a pushing in lap at the end of this lap.

We'll see how we are on timing, but I think if we...

Okay, Alex, that's 50 seconds to the green.

Confirm you're the 8th car.

I have the car ahead of nine seconds.

I'm in J1. Yeah, we'll call you soon.

GX4.

160 kph from turn 4 to turn 6.

Well, I have to go faster because my tyres are a bit cold. It's OK. And target before turn 11 is 210. Minimum.

250 before turn 12.

What's the plan, Quaker?

Complete the time lap. Mode push, mode push. Reset your balance, Chester.

Yellow three, four, red flag, red flag, red flag.

Hadjar stopped on the left-hand side. Exit at turn 6.

Okay, I'll remote in and keep it delta positive, no overtaking.

So we're planning just to go straight to a new tyre, Oli? Yeah.

OK, Oli, so it'll be two runs, two single-time laps, and we'll have a few minutes in the garage between runs.

Oh, box no, box no.

OK, I'll let you have a little question, but balance-wise for a new, we'd usually add 0.2, 0.3.

Do we add anything? Or just do the normal adjust, I think.

No adjustment at the moment, Ollie. Copy.

Do you want P2 or P2 plus? P2 is OK.

OK, let's think about flap. So you want to keep the same.

How do we read the wind compared to yesterday? Standby.

OK, go, go, go, go.

OK, I'll leave you at three and a half minutes to the start of the session.

Heading off. Stay close to the car in front. Want to switch off, stay close to the car in front.

You have a fifth in the queue.

Hi, Oli. Yeah, so still two and a half minutes to go. Esteban, feedback was a little bit neutral in high speed and tyres not quite ready. Copy.

What time did they restart? There's still two minutes, Oli.

16-14.

Yeah, we're currently good on timing.

Yeah, Ollie, your turn one braking was good. Good mid-speed and the snap on exit was wheel spin, most likely induced by a strong tailwind at 20 kph.

One minute to go.

OK, Ollie, we'll go 10 kph faster on all the high-speed corners, so it'll be 170 from 4 to 6.

Yeah, I think my LNAV was good given the tyre temp, so it's really dependent on how we exit the pits.

You still want the speeds for reference? Yeah. How long have we queued compared to the previous session?

Yeah, you queued two minutes less.

MQT was 5, now it's 3. Somewhere between the targets and what I did on that first outlap is what we should target.

So still target zero on your dash. Previous run you were minus 10 on both axles. That's not true.

Exit in the pitlane.

Sainz at six ahead. Six and a half, seven.

Turn two to turn six. Recommend 170.

Minimum 210 before turn 11.

50 before turn 12.

Williams ahead. We expect him to push aboard. Sainz 14 ahead.

At 170 turn 90 and reset your brake balance.

Watch for Verstappen. He's right behind.

It's clear after that standard end lap. We're good on time. Mode N.

Four cars to the left, currently C2.

Only lost to Hulkenberg, who's just ahead of you. It's turn 19, 20. First car pushing Leclerc, 8 behind.

How high was the balance, Olly? Leclerc, three and a half.

Balance was good, it was a little bit in high speed, a little bit touching.

I'll be the next car pushing Gasly six and a half behind. It will box this lap.

Watch the wear bridge.

Go for Hulkenberg on near.

Hulkenberg on you. When he lost to Esteban, mid-speed turn 11. We'll get you over later.

So, Olli, would you keep this balance for another year?

I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90.

It was good on Tywin Ollie.

Four and a half minutes left in the session.

Verstappen eight ahead. We think Russell is pushing seven behind. Russell six and a half. Target 170 and turn two. Turn eight. Russell three. Russell two. Russell one. Connect. Car behind is Hulkenberg on an outlap.

And it's 2.10, 4.11. Muscar pushing his Tsunoda, he's 18 behind.

Check your happy at 59 grip balance. Just watch traction on this lap.

Verstappen 11 ahead. 250 in the straight here.

And 80 in 13.14. Top of 9 ahead.

Still a bit far behind and it's 1.60 against turn 17.

OK, a bit slower in 17, a bit slower. You can drop some car now. Tsunoda is nine behind. Clear ahead.

Smoked fish, smoked fish.

Okay, Oli, good lap. Watch for Leclerc 4 behind pushing. Leclerc 3. Leclerc 2.

Hamilton 7 behind pushing. Boat in. Boat in. Look after this car set. Currently P11. Hamilton 5. Hamilton 4.

Next car pushing Sainz. He's 10 behind.

Sainz, eight seconds. Olli, you're safe. Good job. 20.12.

Chris Sainz, 5 behind.

Any improvement in turn 9, Sainz 4.

Yeah, yeah, it was better, but I think I got a bit of a slap, right? Yeah, Sainz has aborted. Sainz aborted. Yeah, Fox has slapped Albon, 8 behind Pusheen.

Biggest loss to Esteban is still turn 19. Be imprudent to yourself. Albon 5 behind.

What do you think about 60% brake balance for turn 11? Let me know in the odd lap. I'll let you know.

OK, let's go.

That's 45 seconds, you can get the engine on, lift the bus car up.

Yeah, I just need you guys to let me know about locking balance. I feel like if I can avoid a bit of rear locking in 11, it could be better. Yeah, even when you have some rear locking, we'll let you know on the outlap. And it'll be a slightly slower outlap. 10 seconds, 5, 3, 2 and 1.

Yeah, Olli, happy with 60 in turn 11. 60% brake balance.

Yeah, very similarly. So let's do plus one in one and eleven for rear locking. Yeah, OK. And targeting 160 through here.

And then it's two hundred for turn 11.

340.0. End of strip.

That's 80 in 13.14.

Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. That's target 140. Slow up.

Hold 140 and turn 90.

OK, Ollie, watch for Hulkenberg pushing behind. Hulkenberg 4.

Strat mode in. First car pushing is Norris, he's 10 behind.

Plenty of time, so standard end lap, Norris eight and a half.

It was a good lap, currently P2, Norris 5.

RS4.

I have a feeling he's going to talk all the time.

Next car pushing Verstappen 8, so we're boxing this lap.

Verstappen three and a half bucks bucks.

You have to get behind box-to-box and watch the wear bridge. Copy.

OK. OK, Oli, we're a minute ahead of time.

I possibly pushed a bit more into 11 than others, but your exit was still good.

Yeah, balance is good. I'm still struggling in turn 3-4, let's say, but...

No transcript available

Well, yeah, we're good on time. Just over four minutes left in the session.

All clear on pit exit.

Start at 160 kph. Up until turn 10.

And then it's 3.10, 4.11.

And then do 50 kph for turn 12.

From 13.14 is Aiden Kipovich.

Just look at your delta as well for 160.317.

150.319

Oh, I lost it. I had a snap. Copy. Watch for Lawson. Pushing behind Lawson 6.

Mode N, Lawson 3, Lawson 2.

Scott pushing his Alonso 13 behind.

Yeah, on zone 9.

Carlos Sainz, he's eight behind.

Site 7. Just watch your delta. Is anyone going to get us?

Okay, waybridge, waybridge.

Currently P10. Two cars still on track.

Colapinto and Gasly.

OK, I want to go, just Gasly. Still for B10.

We made it? Nice job. Yeah, you were through early. Finally a bit of luck. Good job.

We have a nice shiny set of tyres.

Yeah. Yeah, Oli, we're thinking keep this set on the car. Yeah, let's try and cool them down.

Yeah, that was a fucking Ferrari off the track. Just got a bit flustered.

Yeah, copy. I'll let you know.

No more queuing above F1.

Okay, I'll let you drive to the end and switch off. It's just over three minutes. Start decision.

Yeah, it's just under three minutes to the green.

Two minutes only.

OK, Oli, so previous outlap for us was good, so that's 160 all the way to turn 10.

Okay, I'll wait. That's a minute to the green. We can fire up.

Twenty seconds.

Four, three, two and one.

With the green light.

OK, so 160 all the way to turn 10.

Two hundred and ten, quarter turn eleven.

Yeah, I'm a steep 260. I'm just straight here. Watch your tailpipe.

Carly, first car pushing is Alonso. That's a good lap. Let's push on your lap, push on your lap to make up some time.

Yes, last two corners were very good. Mode in and let's push to make up time.

Alonso A-line.

Very good time for a U-sat, Ollie. Alonso, 6.

Too much to Antonelli. He was on a new tyre, Alonso 4.

Still deeply without lap time. Alonso 3 will box this lap.

Next car pushing is Verstappen. He's eight behind.

OK, Ollie, you should have about two minutes in the garage.

Yeah, I copy. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's not jump too soon.

You mean you don't want to go too early, Salih? I don't want to be the first on track. We give away track fever then. Of course, I don't want to be missing the lap, but it's important not to be there.

Third car, Ollie.

Good on time. There's three and a half minutes left in the session.

One hundred and six ahead, one hundred and seven.

We're good on timing. Hamilton eight ahead and has a 1.60, helping to turn 10.

2.10 for turn 11.

360 and a strip for 12.

Nine ahead, Russell nine behind.

160 and turn 17.

170 in turn 90.

Oh, yes, check. Flag mode N, mode N. Ah, sorry. It got together on my block at all.

Yeah, a little bit tricky. This happens sometimes.

No, I just run below his track limits at turn 15.

Turn 15. Yeah, currently still P7.

Nice job, Ollie. That's P8. Well done. Good job. Perfect.

A bit too much down the race.

Yes, you're just ahead of Sainz and Alonso. That's very tight. Yeah, I imagine. I imagine. Tricky, really tricky session. I had the best actual tyres on the first run of Q3. My front tyres weren't really ready on this lap.

Quite interesting. So Verstappen, Paul, then Norris, Leclerc, Russell, Hamilton, Piastri and Albon.

Yeah, good job, guys.

Yeah, very good job, Odi. I think it was pretty tricky. Very good.

Very good, P-I, we're done. Yeah, and I still remember I'm braking and upgrading on the car. Oh shit, I'm braking. Of course.

Yeah, sorry. Good job, everyone. Bring an update on the car we hit.

We had an uphill climb, but we managed it really well. Good job, I'm proud of you all.

Thanks, Oli. Everyone heard that. Much appreciated. Good job.
