So what position do you want after turn 5? It will be P4 and 5th gear. There's only 200kph for a slight slow.

OK, so I'll just be...

Full speed for a second. Couple of cars going front.

Go in front. First car pushing is Hamilton at turn 17.

Clear behind. Good 10 seconds gap.

Aero P4.

Aero, P4, 5th gear, down to 10.

Down to turn 6. No SMs.

Hamilton six behind.

As best you can now, flow over the other cars.

Hamilton, three seconds, time-lapse, big gap.

Time-lapse with big gap behind him.

Two seconds.

One second, Hamilton.

AeroCruise down to turn nine.

Keep that aero cruise on down to turn nine, Hulkenberg.

10-9. Hulkenberg, time lap 5.

Verstappen, Verstappen, all behind.

Verify he's down to turn nine.

Hulkenberg, two seconds.

Yeah, I'm gonna call him.

Gap behind seven seconds now.

10 seconds now. OK, so we'll turn that aero cruise back off now, please, mate.

Aero back to P1.

Linblad 4 behind time-lapse. I'd like to test SM 14.

14 to 15 please, just mid-straight.

Head straight on and back off again.

Left side two behind.

Who behind? Heimdallr.

Heimdallr, SM on and off and...

Gap behind. Lim-Blad, seven seconds to the next cop.

Pass to the next cop. Limbo at one and a half.

That's perfect.

Perfect. Box now for me please, mate. Box, box. Recharge on.

That's good. Let's have a recharge on, please, while we've got a moment.

Stopping on the box.

Open on the box. Six turns down on the flap.

Down on the flat. Straight out. We'll have err...

A bit of weaving all the way around.

On the way around, I'll end up in a...

Bit of a gamble.

Turn one now. He's just finished the time.

So you're clearly a bit behind.

Coupé.

Copy. The steering is right-hand-side down-side.

Slowed inside, down slightly.

Just keep your mind on it. Weaving and no SM down to six please.

Down to 6, please. Weaving no. Same cars in front, all on slow laps.

What's the pace?

So, fastest cars, Antonelli on a 32.5.

Weaving down to turn nine as well.

In front of Franco is a big gap of 10 seconds. He's two cars in front of you.

Franco's first lap, 35.3.

OK, start to build nicely.

0-190.0 through 10-30.

On the start up, yeah.

Well, it's out of grip.

190 through here and then weaving down to 15.

Behind on a slow lap. We've got a decent gap in front of here.

I'm going to push next.

I'll push next time. He's five in front, just making a gap.

No threats behind Verstappen.

End on an outlap three and a half.

Recharge off before a good stab at the brakes into 16, please.

Boost 18.

It's blue zone, check for us in a second. Copy.

Gauge on. There's going to be a damp switch change for you in a second.

It'll be damp seven, please. Damp seven, that will help the options.

So we're going to cool the tyres to turn nine, please, and then we're going to push and build temps again from there.

Everywhere as well. That will help with the shift.

More help with the shift quality.

Well, with the first lap fastest time 31.

Thirty-one eight four.

1-8-4 Piastri.

1.0 DRS. One second sector 1.0.

Sector one, point four, sector two.

Two and one sector three, so just overflow.

Just float flat across the board.

Tyres again for turn 9.

Last bit of weaving.

That's a bit of weaving. I'll keep them soon.

What's Wilson's lap?

Er, Lawson's lap was at 30.

That was his second.

He's second. He fouled 8-10 to prove it.

OK, the same. Yeah, 33.0, yeah. OK.

1.0, yeah. Again, he found 1.7.

And he found 1.7 seconds improvement on the second lap, sir.

From now, if you can, you've got no threats behind four cars.

Keep the speed up through 16-17.

Three cars to go in front now.

Verstappen behind will be pushing next time.

I have straight step on power.

It's got to go.

Understood. We're looking.

So two cars to go, so we need...

So we need recharge on 4.60.

16, then try and keep your pace up.

Pace up. Everyone behind is backed off you now, so let's pack up early.

A few now, so it's a gap early.

Oh, it's absolutely good.

Good stop at the break through 16 and push.

16 and push 16.17.

OK, recharge off and cool the tyres to turn nine.

Car's back at five seconds. Watch for him.

Return 1 now, three seconds.

Three seconds. I've got pushing through.

What an arm.

Once Hadjar's through, you're clear.

Collapsed. Might keep his pace up.

12 with uptime currently.

P10, that is a 32.4.

Brake in turn 4, VOPS, shift to track, stand by.

It feels very pulling, it feels good.

Understood. We'll have another look at that.

Main low to high speed balance limitation.

I have understeer in mid-corner after 13 minutes.

I feel like I'm slowing quite a bit in high speed.

I recommend the...

Modifier is a quick fix for 13.

13 back right available there.

Clear of traffic behind, so we're going to start to push the weaving from turn nine. Just watch the...

Turn nine, just watch the front left tyre.

Through the high speed, please.

Speed please. I'll miss slow lap.

Sainz behind is on an outlap 3-0.

Sacklam's keeping his pace up.

Six seconds back as well.

Sainz is through. Franco.

Sainz is through. Franco pushing forward.

You're pushing four seconds to

Two cars back.

Code 3.

Two seconds, Franco.

And then we're going to have Norris coming through three seconds.

On a push lap? On a push lap, yeah.

Gap behind six seconds now to Antonelli.

Hulkenberg to go in front, he'll be...

Hulkenberg to go in front. He'll be pushing next time.

Well done. Got gap management.

Antonelli.

Antonelli four and a half behind timed.

Brakes in 16. Push those corners.

First corners, Antonelli, three seconds.

Nice one, well managed, let's put it in.

Yeah, I got it. That's OK.

We've got quite a decent gap in front of us here, mate, yeah, so let's...

Brake into 16, push those last two corners.

Albon in front, we'll be pushing next time.

So we'll plan to go fast, slow, fast.

I have a lot of fooling like... I lost my thumb.

Look, it's almost like...

It's almost like the car doesn't turn right, I don't notice it.

We'll have a look. For now, let's focus on another lap.

Phillip, thanks. Yeah, see you soon. Just wait for Russell to go home, please, mate.

Russell pushing now.

Hulkenberg could be pushing as well. Two and a half.

Looks slower now, so we're okay.

Mate, do you want to come in and make a change at this point?

I'd like one more lap. OK, last one.

We'll cool around to nine.

We've got Sainz on a times two behind. Just watch for him, please.

Sainz is through, you're clear. Next car.

Leclerc, next car Ocon, 5-6.

Ocon, five seconds time lap.

I don't know if it's the wind, but...

No transcript available

Turn right to left. Yeah, understood.

Position 1, please. HPP 8.

P8, position one, couple of switches.

Position 1. Couple of switch changes for you.

What is that doing?

Less energy in turn one.

We've got Verstappen five seconds behind.

OK, just keep cooling for me, mate. Tyres are actually pleased. Let's just keep cooling for Verstappen.

Stop in three seconds.

Slow lap. Pilot's speed is basically down.

Please be quick, need a limb blade pushing forward.

Flashing four and a half behind him.

Going to go for one more push lap.

Yeah, so let's push down 16.

Time carrying four through.

All through.

Turn 1 and then turn 2.

1 and into 2 for info. Left blower pushing behind, one second.

And then you're clear and good to go. Let's follow that.

OK. Recharge on and box.

This bit feels really bad.

Okay, man, understood.

A little oversteer, please.

I'm just sliding a lot, like no grip, last chicane, turn 4.

Oh, completely sliding.

At high speed, please.

Expanse. Boom.

Not a great grip there, Oliver.

That's 12 quick.

Getting damaged a lot with these laps.

That's a butt-ass time lap of five minutes.

That's time lap five behind.

There's two behind and then I'd like an aero cruise 14 to 15 please.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Swap now, so aero P4.

Fixed gear. Rotate left hand.

It is a very poor...

Grip hold.

No, OK.

Turn 4 in 2nd gear, but fails.

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

5th gear, please. Down to 15.

OK, mate. Box now. Feedback from...

Our feedback from the setup of the other car seems sensible, so I think I'll go.

I think I'll go next run. Happy with that.

Go. Next run. Happy with that.

Yes. Copy.

Stop. On box, M-C-Q.

Can you tell me which gears are on?

Here's Daneli and Russell using it in turn 4.

I have a lot of, yeah, turn 90, quite a lot of oversteer on the way out of the corner as well.

You have a crosswind through there, so you've got tailwind behind you and crosswind.

Full wind behind you. Crosswind.

Exit from the original forecast.

Just have a look on your time-lapse.

We're plugged in now, so we're over there.

Okay, so just make sure we've got recharge on as we go out.

Charge on as we go out.

So, Carlos, we've got a watch behind us.

Behind us Sainz and Bearman.

And Bearman are sustainable, running their turn 16.

Sainz has backed off.

Backed off, so it's just Bearman. We've got the water for him.

Bearman, we've got the watch for now.

Bortoleto in front.

So I think we'll be pushing that. The time is on our lap.

Did not know my tyres are cold.

It's normal, mate, yes, so just keep the weaving up, please.

Moving up, please. So Stroll will be pushing.

Stroll will be pushed next time we...

He's got a flat tyre now, so this will be his first push.

This will be his first pushup coming up.

Let's keep the weaving up. Bortoleto, unsure if he's going into sustainable. I think he'll

Sustainable. I think it'll still be low fuel.

Very low fuel, so he'll push next time.

Clear behind the minute, Bortoleto 11 behind sustainable.

Just keep that weaving happening.

Only Bortoleto to go in front.

No threats behind. Good start.

Brakes behind. Good stab of the brakes. 16 and we'll be fine.

16 and 43, 16, 17.

Bearman six behind, so you're good to go now.

Okay, box. I want to do two clicks down. Understood. Box, box.

It's not good, I can't turn in. OK, understood. Box, box. We'll do the two turns down and go out.

Two turns down, then go out and have another go. Let's go recharge on, please.

Stop on the box.

OK, mate, so go straight out. We'll do another strut.

Strat 2 lap.

I think so. We'll do another slow and another push, see what we

Another push. See where we are.

That was very unpredictable. OK.

Lower kickers. I'm still not gone. I'm out.

Sudock on four and a half behind.

He's struggling, so let's have a look and see what we've got with this flap.

With this flap, just focus on traffic position.

Focus on traffic position. Now Ocon two and a half behind.

Gap behind him is six seconds. We've got a few cars that could be pushing sustainable now.

Verstappen, Antonelli, Ocon, yeah.

At the moment, 7 behind 2 for Verstappen and Antonelli, close together.

Probably going to be advantageous to be front and back.

to be in front of them. I think it's going to be tricky though. Five seconds to them now.

Two of them now. They're closing fast. Yeah, let's let those three through.

We'll let those three through. It's Norris, Verstappen, Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Ocon, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Nico Hulkenberg, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon, Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly, Oliver Bearman, Yuki Tsunoda, Alexander Albon, Franco Colapinto, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Ocon, Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly, Oliver Bearman, Yuki Tsunoda, Alonso Albon, Fernando Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto, Esteban Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto

Lando Norris, Verstappen, Antonelli all close together.

Behind them is Franco, who's sustainable.

We can drop in. So three cars come past.

Copy now. I'll do that early.

At 1.5 behind now.

So Norris...

Norris, Verstappen, Antonelli all close behind you.

Close behind you. Sustainable running.

Almost there through. Gap to throttle.

Once they're through, gap to Franco, five seconds.

Seconds. He is sustainable running.

So, two more to come through.

Three and a half. Behind him is a seven second gap.

On to Franco's.

Grip becomes through, which might be sensible.

6 to Hadjar.

Okay, Hadjar, gap behind six seconds.

Five seconds.

30 seconds. Let's make the gap.

Break the gap. Four and a half.

Three and a half.

On the hog. Three seconds.

Three seconds. Two and a half.

On. Two seconds.

Strat 7 and keep pushing for two laps.

Hadjar behind, still pushing one second.

Isack Hadjar in.

Still pushing behind.

We do two sustainable laps, Pierre.

GPP eight to position six, please.

Flaps on the medium. I need to know now.

Whatever, I just have to start to go faster to get under 4 minutes.

That's... that's... that's...

Hamilton 2-0.

Let's go for another lap, please. HPP 11, position 1.

No transcript available

OK, so Hamilton is still pushing behind.

This is box, box. Layer behind.

I'll explain the plan when you're in.

OK, mate, we're going to get you to stop just in front of the garage, it'll be in the, er, sorry, Frankfurt.

Franco will be in the...

At the box, so you just drive around.

When you're back in the garage and plugged in, I'll explain what we're doing.

OK, mate, so you've got Verstappen...

In front on an outlap. Forgotten.

Just going into turn one now. He's just finished the time, so we're in sync with everyone now.

About four behind.

Turn six, Hamilton two and a half.

Weaving down to turn nine.

Copy.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

It was 13.1 at the end.

Yep, stand by on that one. I'm weaving and then...

And then 190 through turn 9, please.

He was not flat in those two corners.

So 190 through turn 9.

90 through turn 9, 190 through the high speed.

Double cooling. Guys in front, we think we'll be double cooling. Hadjar the next one.

Yuki Hadjar the next one. Don't think he'll be pushing next time. Weaving down to 15.

I think we're looking good here.

I think we're looking good here, mate. Only Verstappen could go.

Verstappen and Piastri.

To go. Correct. So, two cars.

Correct. So, two cars. Verstappen making a gap up.

Taking a gap up. Dean, let's do the same. No threats behind.

Verstappen going now.

Recharge off, then brake into 16.

Final two corners.

Two corners. There's one lap we're back on here.

All right, roll, let's push.

I have understeer on the kerbs.

I'll go off and do another push.

Just bear with me for a second, please, while I work this out.

Hadjar.

Hadjar should be on.

Should be on that behind.

All this mate is going to make it quite tight here, so just keep your pace up a little bit, please. Keep that weaving in.

We're going to go for it.

Let's go straight mode down to 9, please.

Okay, mate. S-zone down to 15 as well. Hadjar will be pushing next time. This is going to be real close with timing.

Right, Hadjar's going to push next time.

I'll come back to you.

Nice and slow so you're clear here. Just Hadjar to go.

OK, mate. Recharge off before 16. Let's go.

Push the surface to 16.70.

Please, box, box. Last in lap.

Happy to keep recharge off, just to keep the pace up.

Two minutes 20, so the...

That's 20. So the flag.

I might have to keep pushing here.

A double stop, Franco is found.

That is about nine seconds in front.

Just for info, that lap time was deleted for practice.

On track. Limit jump.

Yeah, it's not that bad.

Fuck, I can't brake.

Absolutely rubbish at the minute.

Another minute. Yep, understood.

DR time lap four behind.

We're behind box-box. We're going up on...

On the flap or a flap slope.

Box, box.

Higher, going up six turns of schlapp.

Flaps? Flaps? One minute to the flag.

That's right, Sal.

And you're clear.

On pit exit, Rob Piastri.

Contact exit. Piastri just coming past.

And we will have...

I have limb blood.

I believe on a slow most behind. Just keep your eye on your mirrors, please.

Strat 7, please mate.

Verstappen on a timed three.

Three and a half full balance.

Thank you, Verstappen. Two seconds, timed lap and then...

One sec.

That's it for traffic, so...

A couple of aero cruisers over the course of the next couple of laps.

Where we are with Bearman, point.

We are with Bearman. Wait until after 4.

Go on, try and make a gap if you can.

Gear 14, 15. Last lap, good lap.

Air at P4, fifth gear, no one pushback.

Hulkenberg three behind.

Three behind, just keeping his pace up and not pushing.

And we're staying out to take the flag this time.

All right, so take the flag now.

All right, so take the flag now.

Flag now. Move back round to the grid and do a start.

We'll try and get a couple more of those aero cruisers in.

On to the two cars in front of you.

Thank you. We get one. Bye.

Get one. Five to six. That'll be it.

6. I'll be aero P4.

I'll be aero in 4th or 5th gear again.

Go to Strat 14.

Closest track 14 as well once we've got a gap.

So, aero P4, fifth gear down to six.

Let's go Strat 14 now, please Strat.

Turn now, please. Strat 14 now.

That's good. Okay, it's the grip to do.

That's a great one to do.

I'm going to do two starts this time.

Happy track for another Aero Cruise 14 to 15.

B-Bal fifth gear.

That's good. And then go into the grid.

So, to the grid please.

And we're going to do three burnouts and a start on the right.

Three burnouts and a start on the right.

And a start on the right.

Strat 7 when you come to a stop.

And a reminder for the long track.

What's the flap I have at the moment? It's very high, maybe we went up six turns.

6 turns up.

OK, so, er...

14, please. Aero P4, 5th gear. We've got a nice gap in front of us here.

I'm not good. I'm too slow. No, no.

No, no, don't need you to push, Russell.

So I warned you at the stop that he was going up.

Fuel's going up because it's going to feel pointy like the start of the session again.

OK, that's good. Thank you for that.

Going around to the grid to do another starter lane on CG.

Go on. See you shortly.

If you can get another AeroCruise in 8-9, that would be good as well.

As well. Still got a gap.

Camerican, I guess. Flipped wide.

Take one, that's on the left-hand side.

Thank you for that. Going to the grid to do another start.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Two burnouts. Start on the left.

We're going to box this lap.

We're going to go recharge on.

Well done, John. We're going to do a practice pitstop when you're back.

Fifteen to er...

Going a little slower in front. Six seconds.

Box, box.

Practice pitstop. No launch. No launch.
