02:31:09
Okay mate, so straight out. Track is clear.
02:31:35
I'll come out and a quick radio check for me as well.
02:31:59
Spawn. I'm glad we're even.
02:32:25
OK, mate. So, Max weaving on the back straight. No SM there.
02:32:54
Three cars to go in front here, so we'll go to Strat 2. Hard throttle from now, please.
02:33:04
And look for the red light until orange marker.
02:33:11
Clear behind. Good to go on your right.
02:35:08
OK, so Sainz and Piastri next car's back. Slow laps I believe at the moment. Everyone just staying fast, slow, fast for now. Just need to watch and make clear of all traffic. OK, so we'll keep it steady the first part of the lap. Fastest time so far, Piastri 34.0, Sainz 35.1, Lefny 36.1.
02:35:30
Lawson behind, keeping his pace up. He has just finished a time, but just watch for him, please. He's holding about one second back now.
02:35:44
Shall we go for a second lap? We could consider a flap adjust after that if you wanted.
02:35:58
Still clear of all traffic. We're going to go standard outlap from 14, so it'll be pushing with weaving on the back straight. We've got a decent gap ahead of us here. Awesome.
02:36:18
Is Crawford pushing? Crawford's on an outlap, so no-one pushing behind at the moment. Next car, yeah, no-one pushing behind, everyone out of slow lap. So we're in good track position here, mate, so let's start the push from now. Add that weaving back in.
02:38:42
Strat 1. So slow for the first part of the lap. No-one pushing behind. Six cars out there on mediums at the moment. We're B4. Piastri in pursuit.
02:38:55
What's the lap time? Verstappen 34.1. Piastri's best 32.8 at the moment.
02:39:05
Just got to watch for Lawson behind now. He's five seconds. What do you think about a flap adjust?
02:39:11
Yeah, I've got to try that. Copy. Lawson two behind, watch for him. OK, guys, we'll be double cooling effectively. Happy to keep the pace up on the way round. That'll save us a bit of time. And we'll box.
02:39:21
And we'll box now for a flat. Just what do you think, two turns? Yep. Copy that. Clear behind now. And box for a flat.
02:41:18
I have understeer at turn 80.
02:42:17
Standard outlap from now, please, so I have to keep pace up and weave away.
02:44:45
Strat 1, watch for Albon starting a lap behind. Three seconds.
02:44:58
Switch train for you. Can we go HPP 12, position 11, please? HPP 12, position 11, clear behind.
02:45:15
Okay, that's great. Thank you. Still clear behind at the moment. My plan is to do fast, slow, fast from here.
02:45:20
I'm not sure. I don't want to change the car, sir.
02:45:28
2-1-2 question. I do want to change the car, yes, or if you want, lap under my box. OK, understood, happy with that. It's just, I need to have a look at this high speed, the front is, I'm sliding on top of the surface of the tyres. We've got Hamilton 5 behind on a time lap, just got to watch for him. Let's go for one more push after this then. We'll go standard out lap from 4th in this time.
02:45:59
I think mostly it's just a gradual loss through the high speed compared to some of the other medium runners. We're P11 at the moment.
03:00:26
Okay, mate, so it'll be straight out. We just need to watch Limblad going into turn 16 now. He'll be pushing this time.
03:00:40
Lindblad six behind. Starting a time lap.
03:00:45
Happy for a pushy out left. Tyre temp's not too bad. Left, three behind. Two behind. And then.
03:00:56
And then clear. Next car back 15 seconds. That's Albon. He's still on his first lap.
03:01:42
OK, mate, so some good weaving on the back straight.
03:01:58
Only Crawford to go in front. Six seconds. I'm sure what Lindblad's going to do here, he could push as well.
03:02:16
Okay, so we're going to have to make a gap here. Let's go strat 2. Good. And avoid that red light. Clear behind.
03:04:09
Strat 1 and boxing now. Stopping onto the soft tyre. Sainz, five and a half behind.
03:04:24
Fine, just bring it on. Leave it in the hall. Womp.
03:04:44
So we're going to go to the soft tyre. What do you think about a flap adjust? Want an up or more?
03:04:50
What? Stopping at 3 behind the final lap.
03:05:41
OK mate, watch for Bottas. Climb 4 behind. Boxing now. Sub tyre, one turn up and then pulling away from the car.
03:06:12
Stopping on the marks. Soft tyre. One, turn up.
03:06:46
Should be clear pit exit. We've got Norris at turn 18. I think he's on a double slow. Should be in phase with everyone now. I'm going to go for another pushy outflank.
03:06:57
It's through Perez behind seven seconds. He has finished a single course.
03:07:24
OK, so both cars have run the soft tyre now, P10 for Bearman and 32.9.
03:07:53
OK, mate. Most cars found gains in the first sector with this extra grippy tyre.
03:08:12
That's all good. Left blade in front, we'll be pushing next time.
03:10:12
Strat 1, so very slow first part of the lap. I have understeer at turn 80 and oversteer at turn 90. I have no grip under braking. Absolutely no stability. Copy that, we'll have a quick look at that one. Just watching Franco 7 behind, starting a time lap now. Very steady first part of the lap, then we'll push at the end. Franco 4 behind.
03:10:47
Bortoleto keeping his pace up, could be prep lap, but let's get through cleanly.
03:10:57
OK, so currently P13 with that time. I think with a clean 8th gear.
03:11:02
I think with a clean 8 and 9, if we hadn't had that oversteer issue, we'd have been probably up at around P8 at the time, so we're reasonably close in this midfield. How's the gap there? So a 10 would bump you straight to P10.
03:11:33
Clear behind. Next car pushing is Rofl on an out lap. He can just pace up his lap.
03:11:49
The eight as of now is about four tenths. It's changed slightly. It was about three before.
03:11:57
Just watch for Russell on an outlap 3 behind keeping his pace up. Clear behind him.
03:12:08
40. Not many cars in front. Should be a bit cleaner lap this time.
03:12:15
What's Ocon doing? Ocon's slow lap. Antonelli pushing out of lap. Like, he's high fuel now, so try and keep in front of him if you can.
03:15:16
I'm really not comfortable with the car at the minute.
03:20:31
That first gear is longer and longer. Yeah, copy that. OK, mate, so going to the end of the pitlane, please, and we're going to do a start. So come to a stop, start at 5.0, boost button, and then go.

Play it protected.
03:22:41
I didn't turn the lights for the event in the park straight.
03:22:55
OK, mate, it's going to be five time-lapse from now.
03:23:51
Debris on track at the last corner. 16.17. Stay on line through there, please.
03:24:34
Let's see how they're doing behind us.
03:25:28
Bortoleto went from low fuel strength to sustainable. He's got less fuel on board than most.
03:26:11
Fire energy is all okay outside of the sliding, so just stay to zero, keep pushing.
03:27:27
Start finish straight. I would like Strat 9, please.
03:27:49
Strat 9. Two more laps.
03:29:04
OK, mate, on the start-finish straight. Strat 10 and practice lift and coast.
03:29:27
Strat 10 and add lift and post where you can. Last lap.
03:30:43
OK, like going for 16.
03:31:06
And that's the chequered flag. Strat 14, please uncool the car. Strat 14, uncool the car.
03:31:22
So everyone's taking the plug now. We're going around to the grid to do a start, just to try and cool everything down as best we can.
03:32:08
Can I have a clutch 10 on the right hand side.
03:32:28
OK, mate, so keep cooling the car, please, on the way to the grid.
03:32:33
Let you know about burnouts when we get there. So procedure, same as normal. We're going to do our burnouts. Come to a stop on the right-hand side for us. Then we'll go to the Strat N and do our launch.
03:32:49
Can you repeat that, please?
03:32:54
Okay, mate, so going to the grid now. I'll let you know about burnouts in a couple of seconds. We're going to do two burnouts and stopping on the right-hand side. Two burnouts, stop on the right-hand side, and then strat 10.
03:33:39
Come to a stop. Strat 10. Static 5-point alert. Boost button. Freestart revs have gone.
03:34:38
What was that yellow light on the dash at the start?
03:34:49
We are checking that now. Let's back off from 11, please. Make a gap to Franco in front. So back off now. Make a gap to Franco in front. And we're going to do a practice pit stop with both cars. So nice and steady, please, for the remainder of the lap. And boxing.
03:35:10
Yeah, that's great. Let's keep that nice and steady pace up, please. How many seconds you want? I'd like a good 20th possible. We're at 13 now. Ocon five behind. Just watch the people keeping their pace up.
03:35:47
OK, we can make a little bit of a gap, 16-17, and then box, practice pit.
03:36:26
DRS hanging when I was in 12th, 9th, so... Yep, copy that. Let's remember that one.
03:36:40
I had a yellow light on the dash and I wasn't sure what it said.
03:36:45
Yeah, we're just checking that with Gabe as well. I'd say I'm not sure either, but we'll get that sorted for you.
