08:05:22
Circuits all clear.
08:05:37
So, first car will be Verstappen. He is 12 seconds away.
08:06:06
So it'll be Verstappen at five and a half seconds, he's on the lap.
08:06:18
Verstappen at 3.5.
08:06:24
Verstappen at 1-0.
08:06:37
So, just George behind on an outlap, then Magnussen, he is 12 away.
08:07:08
Magnussen at 5.5.
08:07:16
And a little bit low on bulk temp, so recommending the prep as we planned.
08:07:30
Back to 3.5 and 2.5.
08:07:40
OK, looks like Magnussen has backed off.
08:08:09
No pressure behind at the moment.
08:08:26
Sainz got Perez ahead at 8 seconds. He's on an outlap with no pressure behind him.
08:08:37
There's Fricciardo at 12 seconds.
08:08:42
Magnussen behind on the slow, Verstappen on the slow, then it's Ricciardo. Nine seconds. He's got a 5 ahead to Perez. Strat 2 good to go.
08:09:00
Tire temperature is still low.
08:10:42
And maybe Sargeant starting a lap, so he is four behind.
08:10:48
So Sargeant at two and a half.
08:10:54
Sergeant car behind. And then next car, maybe Piastri. Yeah, Piastri will be next car on the lap. Yeah, Piastri will be next car on the lap. Car behind.
08:11:12
You get very quiet sometimes.
08:11:22
That's currently a P3. It's just over half a second to Leclerc.
08:11:49
George is going to be at nine seconds.
08:11:54
George, seven seconds behind. He's on a lap.
08:11:59
Biggest loss is turn 3. That's about 0.2, 0.3. George is at three seconds. Now one and a half to George.
08:12:12
Just stay on top of that delta if you can.
08:12:16
About to let on past. Yeah, copy. We've also got Verstappen coming through. Eight seconds.
08:12:30
4 tenths sector one, two and a half in the final. You were purple. Purple in the final.
08:13:34
Didn't get that lap.
08:13:43
So, George behind at 6.3. Turn it up. No, it looks like he's aborted. So, Magnussen, he'll be coming through at 7.6.
08:14:04
Magnussen at 2.5.
08:14:20
Good to push again. What position are we? So currently P6. This will be your last push if you go now, but you can take a double call. You've got Hulkenberg at three seconds. What do you suggest? Let's take that double call. Hulkenberg car behind.
08:14:53
So Alonso at 3.4. So he may be doing a prep or push, not sure. Keep your eye on your mirrors. He's at two seconds.
08:15:03
And then Zhou at 4 seconds.
08:15:45
So Perez, the car behind, he's on an outlap.
08:15:56
Tyres good or should I cool off more?
08:16:09
So, yeah, this attempt's good.
08:16:24
And with the track ramp, we're going to need the lap, but track position looks good, so strat 2, you're good to go.
08:18:32
OK Lewis, so we'll box-box. Is that safe?
08:18:39
Yeah, I think it is. Yep, so that's P7.
08:18:55
So yeah, just stay on top of the delta, which I can see you doing.
08:19:10
So that's finished at P8. It's 7 tenths to Leclerc.
08:19:16
Four tenths, sector one. Three and a half tenths in the middle. You are up eight hundredths in the final.
08:20:18
Set on the marks. Back in the garage.
08:20:42
Affirm, yeah, you should do.
08:29:12
You're going to have traffic with Sainz at five seconds. Four seconds to Sainz.
08:29:26
Sainz behind. Two seconds on the slow. That looks like Ricciardo. He's going to be next car pushing. Three seconds.
08:29:36
No car to behind 1.5.
08:29:44
So Sargeant is at four seconds.
08:29:49
So, looks like Sargeant may be on a lap, but he's at one and a half.
08:29:58
Is that a Sajic car behind?
08:30:03
And now, no pressure, just Sainz and George.
08:31:56
On the low side, so plus five from here.
08:32:23
So you've got George behind on his prep lap and then other cars just on slow or out. All clear ahead.
08:32:34
Strat 2. Good to go.
08:34:36
Okay, so we'll go for the double cool.
08:34:42
So that's currently P1. Okay, so Verstappen has just set his time, so two tenths to Verstappen.
08:34:51
Minus 10 degrees both axles.
08:34:57
Biggest loss to Verstappen. Turn 7-9.
08:35:04
And just keep an eye on that Delta as well.
08:35:18
Sectors 0.2, sector 1, 0.2, sector 2. You are 0.2 up, Verstappen, sector 3.
08:35:28
Still something to be found at turn 3. 15km.
08:35:51
Is anyone ahead? Negative. All clear ahead. So we're going for the double cool.
08:36:58
Maybe Stroll could be pushing. Stroll is 4 behind.
08:37:06
Looks like Stroll actually may be a prep but he's coming through.
08:37:43
That's Sainz again, Lewis. That broke up. Tire temps. I don't want to drop any more.
08:38:01
So, Stroll at two and a half ahead.
08:38:24
My hands are going to trickle out again.
08:40:10
You can go faster than me.
08:40:13
Okay, copy to the wallbox box.
08:40:44
How many cars left?
08:41:53
And we'll just need some full load for PU temp.
