OK, I'm going to make a gap pit exit. I want to push all the way to turn 5. Currently in 9th and 2. Good on timing. Make sure you make your gap. I'll let you know there's still a lot of cars punishing exit on the left-hand.

Can you map out Mexico? No.

Let's take two cars with boys, shall we?

It's Antonelli ahead of you, then the young driver and the Ferrari, at the 4,000 HP 2.0, so we have early overtake and push all the way into P5.

Do you have a check? Do you have this?

We have another early Z7. DRS behind you. I spot my finger on the driver. Gap 11, so you can bleed now. Bleed now at 6-7. Use the gap behind.

And early overtaking. DRS and weaving into 9.

First car ahead for a young driver. Gap nine behind you. Aston young driver. Gap six.

4 cars to open ahead of you. Bleed another 2 seconds and 12, please. Another 2 seconds and 12. 3 cars to open. Very young driver, 7, so bleed 3 seconds now.

Keep leading. Two cars to open. Keep leading. One car to open.

You're good. Just one gap open. Gap 7. Gap 6. Very young driver. Gap 7 is opening. You have the next gap to open. Gap 6.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Russell opening 2. Quick cool, minus 15, maintain 4. Russell pushing 2. It's clear after Russell. Russell 1. We are currently P2. Only Hadjar on hard has made a lap, but it was not a competitive lap. I'll be back in one lap on traffic. 4.46 behind in 6.

But you're still pushing five to four trots.

We think combined front log will be 2.465. Feedback on flap.

Yeah, happy on flap, maybe a bit front limited, but happy to be there for the moment. We can box later. Copy. So remember that I'm minus 15, maintain force. We'll have to lead, could be the top in 6-7 as on third lap. Just start pushing the Alpignan drive, gap 14.

Maybe I would like to remove a bit of head support, like at the back. Remove a bit of... I'll have a look at the turn ramp. I'll be young driver 4 pushing.

We lost Verstappen sector 1 for the young driver. Gas. Alpine within 2.1.

Fernando, with you. I'm going to ask Verstappen a minimum speed of turn 1. I'll check to understand. It was a 27.1. Just on your curve, push in.

Head of you, quick car to open. The Ferrari ahead is young driver, will open. Aspern Martin pushing 4, 3.

Check 3. Opening the gap now. And with you. Aston Martin behind noise in sync. A Siong driver. They had no felt behind. Two cars to open.

We can do 15, but both axles can be better. Make sure you have your gap no further behind. Just the red bull to open ahead. We now have to open gap 5.

P5.5

Antonelli in sync. Russell first now pushing. Russell before last corner. Lap 10, you're currently P2. Antonelli 26.4. In front of Antonelli is 310 sector 2. Sectors 1 and 3 are good. And now Russell pushing 7. Backflip.

Yes, sector 2, I cannot push the braking. Why can't Russell push the braking? You know why. Ok, Russell 1. See you.

Is that a late oversteer? Is that a lap question? Is Bearman pushing 9? No, no. You know why. OK, copy. Understood.

And watch out, Bearman pushing. 5 and 4, Bearman 2, 1, review.

And now the Alpine pushing forward.

Continue and opening the gap in 6. Remember, we want to make an infront loop rear. I start pushing 6.

It's not the first behind you, it's the second Aston behind you, pushing six.

Clear behind. You're in a good position. You have one car to open. Let's warm up a bit with the grips.

Gap behind. Stopwatch in YR25. Followed by the Red Bull, YR25 as well. First point to maintain.

GP, 2-2, double cool, 4th lap, I only need one more lap. Anyway.

One and a half up. Copy. And let's go. Target zero in total, Stan. Zero in total. Focus.

Low speed driving, very good. Turn 90 and low speed, late entry to minimum speed.

Shall we tuck in at the pole now with the pull-up? We can still do.

Alpine young lover. Gap 10. Box, box.

Seven behind. Box, box, watch out. White line on entry.

We'll target minus five back on weaving. Antonelli in sync, so we'll be clear to exit Antonelli slow.

You're putting up three. Take a single brake. Yeah, traffic. Yeah. He's with you. Watch out.

Watch short pushing too. I know, I know. I will be maintain four hundred plus twenty.

That Leclerc, now that'll be on for a while.

Box, I have P2 Hadjar on the R25. 2 knots left behind. I need V2. Exit turn start.

Like a bit of Mercedes to you there.

Everywhere else I'm happy with the balance.

Brake check. Brake check. Gap.

I'll have to manage some traffic on this one, thanks. Make sure you make your gap to I-TRAC.

I had a view on you, medium, he's on low view, he's still on it. I'll show you a gap.

Hadjar, still on the SC2. Staying out. On the SC2. Now. We clear of exit.

Verstappen is in sick.

Watch out for the N6. He's gone far behind.

Potentially on contact. Just question.

OK, I'm just waiting.

Both cars ahead of you are in sync with you. Hadjar, Chaby and us. M6 should go out. I think Verstappen will come second potentially.

Straight behind. Go out, overtake, GRS weaving.

All cars pull by the head of you, because I've got a hard luck at P8.

Oscar pushing behind you, the young driver, Ferrari car, Gap 8.

I will have to bleed time in 12.8 seconds to the Ferrari.

3 cars to plan ahead of you. We are in 2-1 with you. I drop 10 ahead.

Red Bull Young Driver pushing 6. One car to open a head of you, that's Hadjar, he's at last corner.

I have a slow exit of this team. Gap opening now. Hadjar gap 5, gap 6.

We are behind open pit door gap. And you're good.

Well, that actually looks OK. I'll try only farther ahead.

Checking a double slope. First 15-minute crop on the first one. Lawson makes it to turn 7, probably a tenth and I've got it to 8. So Verstappen 24.5, Hulkenberg 24.6, Yuki 8. The Aston on consecutive. 4 behind, watch out. Back on flaps. 3.

Yeah, I'm happy with flaps. Maybe I could take more. So let's try more, just to try. Also better sleeping in the pitlane. Check no-flap behind 2-0 plus one question.

Yeah, I feel I need more in against 13.14 and 9, so the left-hander is there.

You want to consider T for 40, Christian?

No, no, because 13, it will not do anything. No, it's more than that. Fuck it, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll

What do you think, turn 6-7, the SNAP?

Single wheel speed. Single wheel slip. Apex at 7. Hadjar pushing 4. Followed by Norris 8.

Cars are sinking, I'll jump 2, 1, noise 4, turn noise is quiet, 2, 1, will you?

Push into Parc fermé, your driver is at the 7.

Let's take one and a half just to do a test.

At the back line at 12 o'clock, box, box, party, split at 3. Party, split at 3.

I have no grip at turn 80.

I'll be on marks. Watch the light. 4.45, we will note for you.

I want to warm up the brakes. It will be clear to exit. Target plus 5, maintain front. Clear to exit. It will be in the thick.

Ahead of you, you have the young driver, Red Bull, in sync with Alpine, in sync just now with you.

He's quite up. Hello, everyone, it's sick.

That would be DRS and weaving into 6.

Turbine pushing through. One. With you.

With you, I will just have to turn one off line on your left. Offset behind. Gears and wing.

The ass ahead of you will open. That's the young driver.

Gap 2. Then you have gap of 11. If you cannot pass the ass, make a gap of 12.

I'd like to keep the speed up from 13. Gap ahead is 7. And I start to open. Gap ahead is good. Keep the speed up before opening.

OK, you go cool, no threat behind. What do you think, do you want to go on that set or next set for us in terms of timing? Anyway, we'll be boxing, coming back to the airbox. OK, copy. Copy. Where's the flap?

Better. Copy. Can I have a wheelie to exit of 5?

24.5 to 24.7. Sorry, that's three tenths of a noise your P9.

Hard run was very competitive. The short run was crappy. Now we jump on the back.

All parts are turned off.

Just quickly on the balance. Do you think we're trying to overbalance the car right now? We need to do a bit more with each other. Normally I would have one down.

No, it just feels the car is in a good spot. Just with the NX track, the maximum.

It's high fuel, yeah? It is high fuel. One round on the flap.

Watch the Aston Martin opening now. We just want to stay ahead of Russell, he's on contact. Watch out for the Pro Ford exit, I want to stay ahead of Russell. Pro Ford will be ahead of you, now we're ahead of Russell, so you go race. That is with Russell 5 behind. Pro Ford will pull away. Russell 4 behind.

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

No transcript available

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

What is Russell lap time?

B29, B25, B29.

I have very bad upshifts.

3-2-4 ready. 12. Rapid open. 6th time lap. We're looking.

I'm on my fuel. Antonelli, Verstappen 29.6.

I had a young driver on contact.

0.7. Watch the line. Let her snap. Stay on the inside more.

Direction for your head is on fast, slow, fast, slow.

Cameli, lap 6 of tyres, 30.1.

Checking stability at return one.

And one tailwind gust to NKPH.

Max 29.7.

Three more laps. Status 2. Atlatan 3.5. You push too much. Proeditor, exit.

Track contact is on the other, Antonelli, lap 6, 30.1, lap 7, 30.2, lap 8, 30.6.

The tailwind at turn 12 is hurting you. Think about the right button. Remember, try lines at turn 6 for touching.

One more lap, Antonelli. Last lap, 30.7.

Second flag, tyre selection to medium, pull the rear, start to change to zero.

Back last lap from Antonelli, 30.7. So I'm lap 7 of his tyres. Antonelli was 30.3, you were 30.5. I tried to Leclerc, Foy took the flag, he backed off. I nearly beat him. Exit 5. Yeah, higher deck than expected. I think track temp or wind. Wind definitely a thing. 16 was quite poor. Getting the tailwind as you apply power. How was the flap with this condition? Overflap.

I overflapped to start but then front limited as the steam progressed.

Salted crack, the crack was increasing.

If you do a couple of degrees earlier, then you stop.

Would you like to target right-hand side as far forward as possible? Right-hand side, please. We'll be back on burnouts. Target as planned.

Two burnouts. Please try right-hand side as far forward as you can. Right-hand side, two burnouts.

OK, can I go cool? Go cool. Green 4 position 6 is for a pedal test. Stay go cool, try to push with this pedal map.

Top was on target.

Green 3. Green 4, position 6. Green 4, position 6.

It's clear ahead of you. I repeat, for you to go push, you need to be replaced.

Stop on parks or brakes and check.

Just a little feedback on that consec. Hadjar was on medium tyres as a second set of tyres in the session. Seems to be similar to yours in terms of tech. Colapinto was on medium as well. Made a very slow intro and was improving towards the end. Overlapped in lap time. Relative to you after 8-9 laps.

And I think I'll probably open the street a bit harder than I was in August.
