00:43:50
So I'll be straight out going to have Lawson just behind on exit. So Lawson at two seconds.
00:43:58
Target plus five.
00:44:45
So, Piastri on the third push has gone fastest. That's a 43.9.
00:45:16
We'll go strat 2. Fast, slow, fast.
00:47:29
So target minus 20.
00:47:47
So Tsunoda at six seconds, just keeping an eye on him.
00:47:53
Looks like he has backed off.
00:47:59
So Lawson at nine seconds, go.
00:48:06
21 stride. 23 stride. Lawson at 60 seconds. Yeah, understood.
00:48:37
So Norris currently P1 43.1. That was his third pushing lap.
00:48:50
And Leclerc, 15 seconds. Next car on the lap.
00:49:07
Piastri 10 seconds ahead, expecting him to go again next lap.
00:49:14
Leclerc 7 behind.
00:49:24
Four seconds still waiting for Piastri. Three behind L2.
00:49:31
Clear after Leclerc. He actually is going now. So a gap to him, nine seconds.
00:51:42
Lawson, five seconds. Strat 1.
00:51:47
Target minus 15. Lawson now 4 and 3.
00:51:59
Surface temperature is just starting to pick up at the end of that lap.
00:52:05
That's currently P3. Three tenths to Lewis, who's done a 42.8. That was mainly turn 5 braking. That's his fifth lap on the plan. How much? Braking or late entry into the apex?
00:52:31
So it's one and a half tenths.
00:52:36
Late entry braking.
00:52:55
Leclerc at eight seconds on a lap.
00:53:05
Five seconds to Leclerc.
00:53:29
So, we'll be all clear in sector 3, so we can lean all the tyres in sector 3.
00:53:53
Next lap will be strat 2.
00:56:05
So, target minus 18. There is some rain developing around 10 minutes out. So, how is the track at the moment, George? Six seconds to Leclerc.
00:56:23
If it was Q3, I'd go 6.
00:56:29
Let us show what we gained.
00:56:32
I'm going on to the streets now.
00:56:40
Tyres are starting to drop.
00:57:27
How many people on track? Feels quiet. Only four at the moment, so we'll box end of this lap, George.
00:58:00
So now it's just leaving the pitlane on the soft tyre.
00:58:18
So, box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.
00:58:50
Good on the marks and a good speed in.
00:58:58
Also not. Five to the left.
01:08:58
Leclerc went for a prep lap and he's just done a 41.9. Target plus ten.
01:09:16
B-Bal offset plus one hundred.
01:10:07
So I reckon that we go for a prep lap here, George.
01:14:02
So, target minus three. Surface temperature's only just coming into the window at the end of that lap, George. Currently P2. Nine tenths to Lewis. Got Sainz at seven seconds.
01:14:48
Verstappen improved to a 36.8.
01:15:00
That's mainly in that turn seven to nine region.
01:15:05
Albon, 14 seconds on a lap.
01:15:11
And we're all clear ahead.
01:15:29
I will be strat 2 next lap.
01:17:32
Target minus three.
01:17:41
So that's two and a half tenths to Lewis P1. That's mainly straight line speed. Carlos Sainz at seven seconds. Should be backing off.
01:17:55
And then Bearman now at seven seconds on a lap.
01:18:04
They have a five.
01:18:17
Two seconds to Bearman and then Hulkenberg, 10 seconds.
01:18:32
Got Hulkenberg at 7.
01:18:46
So, this will be all clear in sector 3. You're in a good bit of the track. You've got Hulkenberg four seconds behind on a lap.
01:19:04
Next lap will be Strat 2. Gap of three and a half.
01:21:01
Clear behind. And George, are you feeling any drop on these tyres?
01:21:10
It could be an interesting test to go on to the new and see how the difference is, but equally I wouldn't know what's tyre and what's track as I try to just move forward to it rapidly.
01:21:24
Yeah, A-firm. I mean, others have boxed off their soft, so if we want to do it, I think now is the time.
01:21:33
Got eight, eight and a half minutes of the session remaining.
01:21:40
Potential for some light spots of rain in around five minutes.
01:21:59
Just have a think on fuel load. Hey, we can pull back or stop. No, just a live pit stop.
01:22:09
Copy. I don't want to be kind of under the tank if everyone's back up as usual.
01:22:20
Got nine seconds behind to Hulk.
01:22:29
I'll be strat 2 if you're going again next lap. No, I'm box in. I'd like the new tyres, but let's see if you want a new live stop or back. No, we'll do a live stop.
01:23:10
George, I'll leave green 6, up to you. Yep. We've got Alonso on exit, just approaching tab 1.
01:23:26
Target plus ten. Hadjar on a lap at three and a half.
01:23:49
John L, two and a half seconds.
01:26:45
Clear behind. Target minus three.
01:27:11
So we'll do a slow and then one more fast lap.
01:27:23
Surface temperatures still at the bottom of the TSP window. Coming nicely into the window at the end of the lap only.
01:27:41
So, Verstappen currently P1, 34.3. There's a gain in turn 3. The rest of it on the straights.
01:28:20
A few drops of rain in the pitlane here now. We'll be Strat 2 next lap.
01:30:16
OK, so that's chequered flag. Back round for a practice start.
01:30:30
So, target minus ten.
01:31:30
Still targeting minus 10 if we can here.
01:32:09
So it will be coasting from the hundred metre board at pit entry.
01:32:19
And then right-hand side, three burnouts at the first one at Locker.
01:33:19
Flaps one percent shallow.
01:34:25
Gear's up. Aero's dropped. A-firm.
01:34:41
So, box, box, practice, pitstop and switch off.
01:35:08
George, is that bump turn 5 any better?
01:35:13
Slightly. Thank you.
