Try and go in front of them.

Swap to the yellow flag for me.

OK, mate, so going straight.

First barriers at turn nine now. He'll be doing a push lap next time.

Let's go. Recharge on.

Charge on, please, until 10 degree.

So, no straight mode.

Ready, please. I'll build a better time.

Recharge off.

Recharge off until full.

Go full. Please still building.

Coming up.

Gap behind four and a half knots.

I'm not sure if there's a real car just in front of you or not, honestly.

Timing's a bit all over the place on our side.

Yuki, test SM down to 10, please. I'm going to recharge off as well.

Until 14, gap in front is good, no traffic behind.

Yeah, SM isn't working. We need to come back into the garage to fix.

Yes, so I think we should box, please.

I think we should box, please mate.

Please mate, it'll be a quick turnaround.

ESM is not working. We need a box to fix it, please.

B-Blad two and a half behind, please.

One and a half now. He'll probably be pushing Verstappen, his three behind him.

Behind him, in a box now. We do have a yellow flag in the pitlane still, I believe, so...

Lisa, caution on the way in, please.

Two-and-a-half-mile time lap.

So Verstappen one behind coming through and then a four second gap.

Go back speed, please, down to 10.

Bortoleto 2 behind.

Two behind. I'm black. Four seconds.

Last lap, four second gap behind him.

Sportiflex 0-3. Big gap.

That was three, big gap. I'm out of box.

OK, Aaron, five behind four.

Keep your eye on your mirrors, his GPS is a bit questionable.

Vegetable and fox fox, please.

Took the box.

OK, mate, and we're going to be stopping on the marks, please. Look for the mechanics.

Still believe it's the yellow flag in the pitlane, please show caution.

Pitlane now clear. Stop on the box and P1.

OK, mate. Two seconds, I'll be back with you.

I'll be back with you. I'll explain what we're going to do when you're...

Let's go.

Slightly bigger gap on the track there, so it's a play.

So, it's clear behind us. A couple of cars following us out, I think.

From her to then Russell.

Charge off three to four, same as before.

Same as before. Tyre temp's all looking good.

Looking good for us at the moment.

A Russell is a 10-second gap. Might be a good one.

And the second gap might be a good one to drop into.

Happy to use SM here as well. Let's make sure we get that tested.

Do that five to seven.

Check the brake efficiency.

Yes, mate, we'll have a look. I have got a little bit of asymmetry registering here, so you might feel a bit of pulling. It should come back together.

Try and get a good application into 10, that will help as well. Good gap in front here.

Clear. Recharge off to 10.

OK, mate, so it'd be recharge off P12, then park.

Time 17.4 for Russell on the medium tyre.

Tyre. Most cars on medium at this stage.

That's a part drop-off.

Battery full now.

Clear ahead, good to go.

A recharge on. We think we need double cool straight away, honestly, mate, looking at the tyres.

There's Lawson five behind now on a time lap.

Lawson 2 behind.

Some strange deployment down to turn one on that lap.

We did this time to open the lap.

Open the lap. I think that will help at the moment.

Help at the moment. We're looking to.

There's only enough speed to do.

Next car back is Vesti in 11th.

It's Vesti, 11 seconds, so a little bit of a gap now.

Change 5 in front of us.

It's gradual lofters through the lap so far. Everyone's done their...

Do you need a flap adjustment or do you have to do another lap as you are?

Pit to the left.

Thank you for watching.

Power everywhere on corner exits.

Little straight road.

Yeah, understood.

Again, clear from traffic behind. That's kind of what we're looking into here. We think things will be sorted out with the later throttle application.

Location on the 14th.

Happy. We'll stay out for another cool-up.

0-4. Another push after.

Over to you.

We'll plan to do three more push-ups after this one.

On a timed lap 10 behind.

I think we're going to have a fairly clear lap, Edward.

Lando Norris just leaving the pitlane now in front of us.

They'll be in sync with us.

With us, Russell three and a half, finishing a timeout.

As you can, Ocon on an out lap in front.

Out lap in front. Clear track in front of him.

I got the car moving.

The car moving under braking is quite

Braking. It's quite strange, like...

The car is quite wobbly.

OK, understood.

Ocon and Sainz on outlaps behind you.

Nine out laps. Russell slow, but Ganovic is the one we need to watch for. He's sustainable running.

About 13 seconds behind. We want to stay in front of him.

So we're happy to push.

So I should be pushing from there as well.

Well, let's make a little gap to him now.

To him now. Then good stab of the brakes into 10.

What's Leclerc doing?

Leclerc's out lap, he'll be pushing next time.

He's eight and a half behind. I want to stay in front of him.

Recharge back on exit 10.

Off 12 car throttle.

No transcript available

Mike Alavich, seven behind.

Reminder, throttle.

Throttle 50 metres later than before, please.

OK, mate, so we'll go double cool again.

Control again.

I think he's Ocon. I'm not sure if he's...

I'm now also sustainable.

Stay into all. Sign in mirror.

The car feels very strengthened.

OK, mate, understood. So radio breaks up a little between five and seven.

7. Clear of traffic behind now.

Speed, high speed, general. Er... Full brake.

No braking efficiency.

The car said don't touch the brake. He's moving right and left.

A lot of movement from the car. It doesn't seem stable at all.

I'm staying in the corner.

Engine braking at turn 5.

We have poor grip mid-corner at this low speed turn 5.

Atop 10, going on power.

So we're going to look for everything now.

Thanks for everything now.

Next car behind on a time lap is Lawson.

Lawson is about seven back.

Back. I've got to watch out for these three cars behind now.

In terms of times at the moment...

E8 to 19.4.

Franco's lap 19.

Nineteen nine at the moment.

Lawson 2 behind now. Timed.

For a second call, would you like a flap adjust?

So, clear of traffic.

For now.

So, I've got a switch change for you when you can.

P5, please. HVB 8 to position 5, that's more than...

That's more deployment than I want.

Three clicks up. HPP eight.

8-5.

Restarting a lap behind us.

Behind us, the one as well.

So Piastri pushing now.

Pushing now to behind.

Four and a half back. Just push now.

Push now. After that, you're clear.

Happy to start using S.

S-M from now as well.

Between three and four last lap as well, so that's the...

Second zone on the pushlap.

OK, so behind Ocon we'll be pushing next lap, so in phase with us.

Then we've got Verstappen.

I've got Verstappen.

I think on a slow here.

Er, he's about...

Nine seconds behind.

OK, so clear of traffic, eh mate?

Position in front of us. Big gap as well.

Continue to push from turn nine.

10-9. Use SM there.

Good stab at the brakes into 10.

Blue, traffic behind.

OK, mate, so Parc Rochelle now.

Keep that same throttle on.

On point, please. A little bit later than the first lap.

I don't know what's going on. The car is...

It's like...

Psyched. I'll take a hold of him.

Yes, that's right.

Snapping out of low-speed corners, was that?

That's out of nowhere.

10-1.

We hold.

Flat 12. Flat 12.

No transcript available

Something doesn't feel right.

Understood.

No transcript available

A decent flap adjust for one lap, see if that helps stabilise everything.

Equalise everything.

And just see if we learn anything from it.

Anything from it. Got plenty of room to come down.

Good. Two turns out. Happy with that.

Can you do that? Yes.

Yeah, hour and four behind now time.

Hour one and a half.

Clear behind Piastri on a slow lap.

I'm sorry.

And clear behind.

I'm in cool lap now, so I don't need to hold him up.

And box now for...

Box boxes.

OK, mate, so just stopping on the marks.

Box, make the adjust and then normal puncture.

Clear protection, clear protection.

OK mate, so we're going to push next time. Fairly quiet out there, only 10 car lengths.

Very quiet out there. Only 10 cars on track, no one behind us.

Good gap in front to Leclerc on an outlap as well.

So we'll go for one more push, see if this reduced aerobalance helps.

Perhaps we can think about one of those other set-up changes for the next run as well.

Behind is on a push lap now.

Push lap now. He's on the soft tyre already.

Then there's a big gap behind him.

At the time I touched the brake, the car was going right to left.

Understood, OK.

5 to 7, 9 to 10. Best.

Turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn 90, turn

And then a big gap behind him.

I've got good energy levels, best in five seconds.

Five seconds. SM9 to 10.

XO9 to 10.

Just got to watch Verstappen coming through.

Three and a half balance.

Three seconds.

30 seconds, so that's letting me through early.

Three seconds.

One and a half.

So it'd be Strat 2 at turn 12.

Turn 12. Half throttle.

Recharge off, please. Recharge off.

OK, I'm going to warm all up and see what we get.

Boost maxed up.

Next lap, less speed. Understood, no.

Helpful for traffic. Sorry about that. In front of Arras.

Aaron, there's a big gap if you want to take that.

Aaron is on a second call-up, who we'll be pushing next time.

Need to get past the Bobak and Gap on the way out of there.

Next car pushing behind is Alonso. He's about 30.

So he's about 13 seconds.

I feel now slow.

Strat mode turn 10.

Aaron, we'll be pushing next time so we can make that gap.

Aft throttle, exit 12, 3-0.

Twelve. Recharge off the braking.

Braking. Alonso is six and a half behind now on that time lap.

B-Bal offset five.

B-Bal offset five.

Go, go.

OK, let's push.

OK, mate, let's box.

Box. Box now, please, box now. Sainz on a push lap.

OK, so Sainz time lap five.

Sainz time lap five and a half.

Five and a half behind.

Sainz. Awesome.

Sainz, four seconds.

Pitstop signs three and a half behind.

One second.

I want to do the first item we discussed about.

Repeat that please, mate, and box.

I want to do the test item we discussed about. Yep, that's it.

First of all. Yep, that's fine. We'll prep to do that.

That's fine, we'll prep to do that.

And box, box, please. Practice pitstop.

Practice pitstop. Clear behind.

Practice pitstop, no launch.

Everything is good on your side, but it feels like something is wrong.

Copy, I'll explain what we're doing when we're parked in.

Anyway, so we're going straight out. We might have to let a couple of cars pass this.

A couple of cars passed this time but they're just trying to keep us away from some of the ones out there on track.

Iwasa just leaving the last corner.

...on a slow, I'm not sure if he's pushing this time.

I raise to hold him up.

We believe he's pushing now, so he's clear.

So he's clear. And then we've got Verstappen on a push lap.

Push lap is about 7.

He's about seven behind.

So we're just going to take it nice and steady to start this lap.

Verstappen, three and a half.

I want an e-brake charge on, please.

Bonds for Stuttgart through you, Clerc.

So cars around us, Vesti and Ocon on slow laps, behind Bearman on a slow lap, two cars

I must slow up two cars ahead so he'll be pushing next time.

See you next time. Outlaps.

DKPH around turn 9 and then straight mode to turn 10.

Decent position on track here, I think, mate, so in sync with everyone around us.

Bearman will be pushing next time.

1.50 through turn 9.

OK, mate, and it's recharge off at 4.

Braking for 12, please. Before braking for 12.

Good with traffic. Par throttle now. Avoid that red light.

Same four-clock all-point, please. Minus fast double-clock.

Okay, mate, so going to double cool. Limblad pushing behind now, four seconds.

And Ocon behind him has just finished eight times.

The Lindblad 1.5 time-lapse.

One second.

And clear behind now.

He's likely to be on the same plan as us.

Still on the high...

I'm keeping this pace up behind, to be honest.

Up behind. Should be on a slope still.

Okay, main balance limitations please. Do you want to flap adjust?

Now I just need to understand what's going on as soon as I turn 90.

Turn 4.

Don't keep the car on track.

The car is moving all around.

OK, copy that.

So Piastri outlap behind.

Piastri outlap behind, then Alonso outlap behind.

Clear of anyone pushing at the moment.

So we're going to go for another...

0-4. Another cool-up after this.

Staying on track and just keep it nice and steady for now.

11 as it stands.

OK, mate, so Sainz is on a push lap 5.

He's on a push lap five behind.

Stroll will be pushing next lap, so just go watch for him. Sainz 2 behind now.

That's one and a half.

Sainz. Awesome.

I'll be pushing next time. The Ferrari on a push lap three behind.

Three behind now as well, I believe.

Correction, McLaren, one and a half.

Can we drive through, please?

Drive through, please, for the...

No transcript available

Qatar calling Box to drive through, please.

Driving through, please.

To Leclerc.

Leclerc and Alonso.

And Franco pit exit. They're on the same sequence as us.

This is us. Should come out just in front of them.

Driving straight through on outpits.

OK, mate, so driving...

Straight through. Bearman will be pushing next time.

P5 behind. He's the only car pushing behind.

That's a three.

One second.

OK, mate, so happy to use straight mode throughout.

Straight mode throughout here. There's a good gap in front of you now, you're past Bearman, so...

Nice clean track ahead.

No, he should be pushing next time.

See you next time. He's the car behind you now.

Try and hold this position if we can. Verstappen and Lawson behind are doing the same as us.

Next car pushing, I think it's...

I think it's Piastri.

So we're good here, mate. We are clear behind.

Need to recharge off the 412. We'll go for another push.

In the last corner, up into a born box.

OK, go with traffic. Recharge off.

Hard grapple.

If you abort, it will be a practice pit stop.

Understood. Watch for Lawson pushing behind one and a half.

Box, box. Practice pitstop.

Practice pitstop. No launch. No launch.

Next one in a second.

Start from pit exit, please, in one of the two boxes.

So, strat 7.

Seven seconds of pre-start revs.

Verstappen just coming past you now, then a gap.

Now then a gap of six seconds to Russell.

Car's high fuel now, I believe.

Russell sustainable, two seconds behind. He has a 10 second gap behind him.

Clear track behind. We'll get seven time laps after this.

OK, make seven time that. There's a couple of cars leaving the pit exit now.

That's what it will be like.

OK, mate. Copy that. Braking 10-4.

Fuck, it's crazy.

We're still working on it. Now let's get another six laps in.

All day together, the chance we've got of working on it.

Something is broken, guys. I think I need to torque.

I can't...

Lap completed.

I think it was a column, no.

I have understeer.

Stop, take a roll. OK, understood. Just stop.

Stand by for a second for me, mate. Okay, just keep calm.

Just keep your pace down if you need to.

OK, mate. Let's box now, please. Box, box.

Watch for cars behind Leclerc outlap.

Clare out lap near Watts, so just behind him.

We'll keep that pace up. Box now, please.

Yeah, I think it's something with the bench there now.

We're going to box now. We're going to have a look at VTOL, OK?

Okay, so we'll just come in.

Brakes coming. Keep 90m behind.

And box, box.

The garage, please. The garage is a bit further forward than normal.

Drive around the pit box, please. Stop in front of the car.

Nicely steady on the way.

How can I stand by this?
