OK, mate, so we'll be driving straight out. Leclerc went long at turn 5, just for information.

Is there anyone coming?

Straight. So we've got Franco just leaving the last corner now with Hadjar.

And then Bottas behind them.

We're behind them. So Hadjar 1-0.

Hadjar one behind you now.

Franco four behind him.

The Franco is three and a half behind you.

on his first time, then Bottas is three behind him.

And then there's a bigger gap.

Bigger gap for Sainz who's on the thing.

Ground power to you. Water for Franco coming through now.

Nice first time. One and a half.

One and a half, Lawson three behind him and then a big gap.

And then a big gap if you wanted to let those guys go. Reminder, don't go slow in the tunnel.

Boost is still low. That will be building up shortly.

Bottas, one behind and then Lawson, one and a half behind him. Good to keep pushing.

Hulkenberg in front, pushing next time.

Good to keep pushing. Fastest time 18.1, Verstappen.

Good to keep pushing if you want.

Franco, third lap 18.5.

Happy to keep pushing if you want. Decent gap in front here.

Slim lap. We'll be cool lap next lap.

Will be cool lap. Next lap, tyres will be on the hot side for this lap if you keep pushing.

OK mate, so strat 2 and we'll press the HPP button, go recharge on.

Five seconds, then two seconds to Franco time.

Then there's an eight second gap to...

Little bit of room coming up behind us here.

Decent gap in front. Other side of the track is the busiest.

That's the busiest Russell two-and-a-half time.

I'm struggling with the brakes. I'm low key.

Having a look now.

So watch for a Russell time-lapse.

Final time-lap to behind.

Franco, two seconds.

So, Franco, time lap two seconds now.

Limblad will push next lap.

Franco.

Cleared behind now, so plenty of room.

So we can make the gap.

Five seconds, pushing through now.

2-0. 3-0.

Two and a half. He's got a five second gap behind him.

Lindblad full push this time. Hulkenberg one second.

Recommend top right for turn 10.

Turn 10. Good to go now.

It's gonna. For braking.

I'll just push again. Strat 2.

Keep pushing if you want.

Recommend recharge on.

Okay, mate, so we're going to go for a steady cool lap now. 12 seconds gap behind us.

If you want to try the first of the settings we want, it'll be HPP 12, position 12.

GP12, position 2.

Two for the first test.

The engine braking is very poor on the lap.

We'll have a look to see what we can do. So we've got Hulkenberg time lap five behind and then Russell pushing one and a half behind him.

Within a 10 second gap, so that's probably the one we want to look for.

At the moment, Hulkenberg three behind time.

Two and a half behind him.

Sector wise, Clare?

OK, Russell three seconds behind.

Gap to Leclerc seven seconds back now.

In terms of sectors...

Sectors, four and a half tenths, sector one, nine.

1, 9, 10, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7

2-1 to work on. P8 at the moment with that time.

Lap time. Leclerc time lap one and a half, then a six second gap.

Just need recharging.

Just need recharge off the board.

4.90. You're good to go.

You're good to go. Happy to try two laps again.

Focus on corner exits.

Good to push again. Gap.

Gap four behind Franco.

Franco, got a good gap in front, I'd say go now.

I have to keep pushing.

Tyres are a little on the warm side.

Taking one slow lap and then fast, fast, slow, fast to finish the run off.

Suggesting slip three as a test as well. Slip three.

Bottas, time lap four behind.

Bottas, two and a half. So currently P9 in the timing. We've got a few cars coming through here. Might get a bit busy. Bottas, one and a half. Then Leclerc, three and a half.

It's a clear one and a half now.

Most cars unfortunately stacked up behind us.

Behind Leclerc, four and a half seconds to Bortoleto.

And then behind him is Sainz on an outlap, so you're in phase with Sainz.

Bortoleto, three seconds. Time's up.

Three seconds time lap.

Bortoleto one second.

Financing entry and exit. A bit more pressure on the way in.

What's this time from?

17.7. 17.7. So you are quicker.

I'm on the board in front of us, it's Hadjar, 16-5.

Lawson on a push lap.

Push lap, three behind.

Three behind. Good to go, everyone. I'm thinking fast, fast, slow, fast.

Happy to push again. Tyres on the hot side. Have to keep going.

Need to cool down. Yeah, that's fine. Lawson three behind. Could be pushing.

And then Bottas three behind him. We've got a bit more space behind us now.

So P9 with that time.

Lawson 1.5 behind time lap.

Pushing is Sainz. He's about six behind two cars back.

No transcript available

Leclerc, another four behind him.

Behind him. We've got a very clear track in front here.

I'll give you the option of slip.

Kind of slip.

3. Once again, if you want it, try that.

Again, if you want it, try that map.

Try that, Matt. Is it exit 12 or 14 for the test, Dom?

12. Exit 12.

Sainz 3.

Sainz three behind.

Two cars back. He is on a push lap.

Second gap behind him. Got a good gap in front.

Sainz, 1-0.

That's seven behind pushing.

Good pushing. Good gap in front.

Suggest recharge off. Let's do one more push, see where we are.

Time to gain 3.4.

I'll push next lap.

Yeah, at turn 60 engine braking is so constant.

I appreciate that. It's the low RPM, unfortunately. Sainz behind us is on a fast lap, three and a half.

He's on a fast lap, three and a half.

He's got a three and a half gap behind him to Leclerc.

Push lap as well. Just watch for those two.

I think we'll make the next push lap the last one.

The next push lap, the last time.

Last time, Pierre. What was Sainz pushing?

Gap behind in five seconds.

Recharge off. Good to go.

Pre-charge off. Good to go.

Yeah.

Who's the next one?

Can you help me with the broadfield?

Understood that.

The battery seems sensible. Let's go strat 1.

And we'll go.

So Sainz on time lap six behind.

Let's go recharging.

Yeah, I'm going to do it. Yeah, I'm going to charge on now.

Recharge off now. Yeah, go recharge off braking into 12, please.

And back on it.

Corner at 15.

Sainz is...

OK, recharge on.

I think you should be good to go here, mate.

If we abort, we will box.

A lot of cars coming in now, mate. I think we should consider box.

Yeah, let's go up here.

Too much understeer at turn 3.

OK, I speak to the start number.

Plane time lap. Let's box now.

So the change we've got planned will help with that, we think.

Leclerc, two and a half time lap.

I have to keep your pace up. Let's go.

Recharge on, please.

Leclerc 1.

1.5 down.

I think Leclerc is going to box the front, but he's keeping his pace up.

Pace up. Sainz five behind on a time lap.

Well, that's time lap. Box box.

So caution through there, please.

Through there, please. Fox now, practice pitstop.

Stay on line 18.

Box, box.

Pitlane position reminder, practice pitstop, no launch.

And the practice pitstop, no launch.

Like a man, we cannot switch off.

OK, I'll be back with you in two minutes.

See you in the next football practice.

Okay, 15 seconds to restart.

What did Antonelli and Russell do in terms of preparation, outpush or outback push?

Uh, so Russell did prep push.

Prep push. Antonelli did push straight away.

I think we go for the wedding, but yeah.

I think we go for a push straight away and we can soon turn it into a prep if needed.

Only 10 seconds left.

Braking turn 12.

Nice, high-frequency, strong...

Frequency, strong weaving as well.

OK, mate. So, reminder, we...

Just a reminder, we've got a more forwards aero balance in high speed.

Things will be a little bit stiffer, probably.

Turn around that turn three for the first time.

That's a reasonable amount of powder.

Powder at turn 15, 16. So have a good look at that as you go through this time. Got a slippery surface warning there.

In terms of laps and just fast, slow, fast patterns, we're looking for...

Probably six times at best.

It's timed at best.

B5 if you go into a prep.

You go into a prep, but we'll...

It'll be recharged on before braking for 12.

Recharge on.

Recharge off.

Off braking 18th.

You could start the lap.

Happy to push two laps in a row.

So we think two laps, two laps.

Two laps, two laps.

And keep pushing if you want. Tyres OK.

Verstappen 2 behind.

I'd be glad to slow lap pilots a bit.

I just happen to keep a reasonably pacey...

Slow lap and we'll push again next time.

We're going to get four more push. Russell time lap two behind.

Russell time-lapse through behind.

Three behind, two cars back.

That's a one and a half.

Norris, one and a half.

And then Alonso just behind him also on a push lap.

Norris is coming through now.

Alonso got held up.

So Alonso's back.

Alonso's backed off, I think.

We think single pulls for the moment.

I think that's try and complete one.

Grab time to abort. One only.

So he could keep his pace up here.

Behind him Sainz is definitely pushing.

Pushing another three behind Fernando.

Recharge off at 18.

Sainz pushing two and a half.

Sainz pushing two and a half now.

Recharge all.

I've got Russell five and a half behind P.

P12 at that time.

Five at the moment. Russell three seconds back.

Russell, one and a half.

Car behind him, six seconds, is Bottas.

Six seconds is botter, botter.

Spot us. Spot us, put it.

Time to go into Franco's. Fastest at the moment is just that braking into turn one.

And braking into 10.

Braking into 10.

And under B-Bal too.

Foxtrot is pushing for three and a half seconds.

And 11. We're running.

You're running those gears a little too long there.

Too long there. Try and shift on the lights.

Shift on the lights. So Bottas timed one behind and...

Four second gap to Sainz.

Lewis Sainz. Gap in front looks pretty.

Gap in front looks pretty good here.

Sainz on a push lap.

Good push lap. All behind.

His side's come through. Six second gap behind him.

Recharge off before 18. Good to go.

24.18. Good to go.

Pre-charge all.

OK, mate, so go in single cool again.

Two more push laps.

We can abort one of them, but it's very tight with timing.

Fill up, thanks.

OK, mate, so P8 at the moment, fastest time, 13 seconds.

13.94, Leclerc.

For Leclerc, in front of us is Hulkenberg, 15.3.

Stroll behind on an outlap for info. Franco 16.1 his fastest.

Turns three and four minimum speed.

OK, so battery levels all looking good. Getting that good drive through 18 and 19 is helping, so let's go with that.

Let's go with that. Stroll behind out lap again. He'll be pushing next time.

Stay out lap again. He'll be pushing next time.

In terms of sectors...

4-10 sector 1, 9...

5 tenths sector 2, 5 tenths sector 3.

That's two, just the ones to work on.

What's the guy doing?

Russell, what is he doing? Bottom.

What is he doing? Bartas in front should be pushing next time. He's double cooled.

Go now, recharge off before 18.

Fast, slow, fast.

Fast. Worst case, we finish the session a lap early.

OK, mate, so we need to go fast, slow, fast here.

Stroll behind bushing. Watch for him.

Antonelli also pushing behind.

Fast, slow, fast.

Debris, middle of the track, turn 10, yellow flag there.

Red flag, red flag, box, box.

OK, so let's go straight.

Let's go. Reach out, Tom.

Going into turn 10.

Turn 10. So just watch for that, please. So red flag, no overtaking.

Only three minutes and ten seconds left of the session for McFockie.

After the session, and my fuck is counting down.

We're going to have to do a start at the end of the session, will you?

What do you want me to stay with?

Stay with right or left.

Right hand side, please. Should be fine.

Follow the cars in front.

OK, one more time.

I'm not sure, I didn't see it.

I'm not sure how long this is going to take to clear, but we're going to go for a...

Quality spec turn around here.

Yeah, I'm boxing now.

P2, please, mate. P2. We're going to get ready to go very shortly. Keep your gloves on, please.

There's only one minute ten of the session left. I'm sure if they'll restart it.

OK, mate, we've got a green light, 32 seconds left. Let's go straight out, please.

So we're going to go around and take the flat.

Take the flag. Get straight out, please. Don't.

Don't f*** around. Go, go.

No go. No holding people up.

Okay, so we're going to go around and take the flag.

1-0.

Push off to the checkered flag, yeah.

You can go recharge off if you want until turn 12.

KPS are happy to push the first part of the lap. I might ask you to recharge on and cool from halfway around or so, subject to temps, because we need to get that started.

I have to check the brakes.

Flaps 1. Flaps 1.

Copy that, we see it. Having a look now.

I was just sleeping, so...

14, please. We're going to the grid now.

I'm going to try and get a free burn out soon.

Albon just behind you.

Okay, so we've taken the flag, we're going to the grid now.

Keep cooling the car on the way around.

OK, mate, so three burnouts, please, and a start on the right-hand side. Three burnouts, start on the right. We just need Strat 7.

Strat 7 when you come to a stop.

Strat 7 when you come to a stop.

Stop. Stop at my point line.

Launch. Seven seconds of pre-start revs.

Happy to push the pace out.

OK, mate, so boxing now.

Franco in front. We'll be doing a pitstop. You'll pull in behind him.

Box, box. Steady on the way and please pull in behind Franco.

OK, we'll get a couple of comments from where we're at.
