First car pushing will be Hadjar. He's in the last corner now. Car in front is Hirakawa.
09:32:02
Hadjar in turn one.
09:32:14
Hadjar, four seconds behind pushing, and you can go multi-A, gift position to shift 2.
09:32:32
Hadjar, two seconds pushing and then a big gap behind him.
09:32:44
Braking current right now is browning on the hard.
09:33:01
And next car pushing is Iwasa, 16 seconds.
09:33:07
Five cars in front yet to open. First one is Norris in the last corner.
09:33:15
Hadjar aborted. He's in front of that Williams now.
09:33:20
In front now is Verstappen. He should open.
09:33:26
Still clear behind. You can build a gap.
09:35:11
And first car pushing is likely Hirakawa. Nine seconds. Opening now.
09:35:29
Hirakawa, five seconds pushing. Two seconds pushing.
09:35:42
And all clear from behind too.
09:36:04
You can go spark four for the next one.
09:36:30
And first car pushing is Iwasa. He's 28 seconds behind.
09:36:44
The car in front is Norris, 11 seconds, also on medium, in sync with us, and will be clear in front of Norris.
09:37:03
I have understeer at first lap. Should I open and stay?
09:37:13
We would go up on engine braking instead, EB7.
09:38:48
Car behind the shields, three and a half seconds is opening now.
09:39:00
And if we take a very slow pull here, I think we can get away with a single.
09:39:11
And we think special one would help in turn nine.
09:39:18
I think we'll have a box second at the moment for balance. Okay, yep, fine for me. Let's box for flap adjusted.
09:39:57
End track is all clear from behind, Nico. What are you thinking, plus two, plus three clicks?
09:40:08
Plus B. OK, copy.
09:40:38
Box, Nico, box.
09:41:27
First car on track is Ewasa. I think she is on a pull-up.
09:41:36
Yep, confirm TOWASA is slow.
09:41:45
First car pushing will be Gabi, 12 seconds.
09:42:00
You've got to be seven seconds pushing.
09:42:14
Gap E4 and then award is eight seconds behind pushing.
09:42:28
Next is award seven seconds pushing.
09:42:40
Looks like two cars in front in sync. First car is Bearman, six in front.
09:42:47
Need award for behind pushing.
09:42:54
Bearman, two and a half in front. He should open for Ward. Three behind to Pushing. And a big gap behind to Ward if you need it.
09:43:59
Yeah, I think the same. Unfortunate.
09:44:20
I'm going to have to cool for the air though. Understood.
09:44:26
Yeah, I would cross the start-finish straight and then do one pull-up after that, and Norris is five behind pushing.
09:44:44
Norris, two seconds pushing.
09:45:02
And next car pushing is Hirakawa, six behind.
09:45:11
Miracaba 3.
09:45:33
And next car pushing will be Gabi. He's 17 seconds behind.
09:46:06
Grab the five seconds pushing.
09:46:18
And all clear from behind. There are two cars in front in sync with you. First is Antonelli, three and a half seconds. And he has a big gap in front of him.
09:46:45
Antonelli, 4 in front, should open.
09:48:28
And charge button on. And we are, let's box, yep.
09:49:38
And still clear from behind him.
09:49:54
And box, Nico, box.
09:57:21
And track is clear on pit exit.
09:57:34
And the cars in front are Shields on a cool lap on... Sorry, Shields is on an out lap on medium. Verstappen is on his first cool on soft. I guess he'll go double pool.
09:57:50
In sync with shields in front. Four and a half seconds.
09:58:05
And we think around one second of lap time in this compound step.
09:58:27
So four and a half to shields in front and he has a big gap in front of him.
10:00:33
Track is clear.
10:00:44
When I get to that S, that's the best I can do, perhaps. Yeah, it was maybe five and a half seconds opening the lap and then we closed a lot in sector three.
10:01:06
And let's go for a double cool here. How was the balance, Nico? Any flap adjust?
10:01:31
Multi B3, position 2. Multi B3, position 2.
10:02:05
Pit 13-14. Reduce the diff to put it more. Got a little bit of understeer building there. Yeah, copy. We'll have a look. And first car pushing is Norris. Seven seconds.
10:02:21
And exit position 8 should help there. Exit 8, Norris, two and a half seconds pushing.
10:02:39
And Gabi is four seconds behind to opening a lap. Gabi, open here.
10:02:53
And next pushing is Colapinto. Five seconds.
10:03:04
Colapinto, three seconds, pushing and clear behind two.
10:03:19
And that's Bearman in front. He's on an outlap on a hard.
10:03:28
The car in front now is Norris. He's on his first cool-up on the Salton.
10:03:39
In front of Norris is Russell. I think he aborted his fast lap. Not sure what he's going to do next.
10:04:32
Current front Norris four seconds I expect will be slow. Hirakawa three behind is on an outlap on medium.
10:04:42
And Norris is boxing. Try to be clear in front.
10:06:25
And charge button on.
10:06:34
And we will box this lap.
10:07:48
And box, Nico, box.
10:14:29
And first car on track will be Aaron. He's opening. He's in turn one.
10:14:38
Aaron, two seconds pushing you.
10:14:44
Air at 1.0. Clear behind step.
10:14:54
And the first car on constant push is Russell. Russell nine seconds in front on hard.
10:21:13
That's award three seconds in front on a soft continuous push.
10:23:25
We have three more laps on this set, then we can live pit stop to the soft.
10:24:54
Mode defend, mode defend.
10:25:23
And E-B plus one, engine braking eight.
10:26:27
We will box at the end of this lap. Keep pushing. Box at the end of the lap.
10:27:52
Box, Nico, box. I was too late for reference. OK, copy that.
10:28:03
Can I do a launch from the box? Yeah, you can do a launch from the box.
10:28:32
Watch for air and non-heat exit. Man Russell two and a half seconds behind. Two seconds now.
10:29:19
Going to take the flag or not? Yeah, it's close. It's 45 seconds now.
10:29:33
Antonelli four behind pushing and then Shields three behind him.
10:29:44
Antonelli 2, then Shields 3. 20 seconds to the clock. Shields 2, then Verstappen 6.
10:29:55
Verstappen four, then award three. Ten seconds to the flap.
10:30:04
Five seconds to the final.
10:30:08
And Hadjar four seconds behind Cushing.
10:30:21
We'd like a CSL, CSL position 5, where you are.
10:30:28
That's 200 kph, fifth gear.
10:30:38
And next will be CSL position 6, exit turn 5. 240 kph, 6th gear.
10:31:05
And back to CS01.
10:31:15
Mode F-lap, charge off.
10:31:39
We will start on the left-hand side. I'll let you know about burnouts.
10:31:46
You are the first car to pick the start.
10:31:55
So, left-hand side and two burnouts. Two burnouts.
10:32:47
And once more CSL position 5, where you are.
10:32:57
It's all a little bit late.
10:33:02
Yeah, copy that. I was just letting you focus on the start first. So let's do CSL position 6, exit turn 5.
10:33:48
I have to mask using the private phase there. A little bit stricter.
