EngineerGood job. Now lean on the tires. Brake warming off. Gap ahead is 5 seconds. 5.5.

EngineerCopy, it's very slow down now. Yeah, I can see that.

EngineerBrake release and early throttle in 12, suggestion, airborne opening lap is 6 seconds behind, ok for double cool.

EngineerHamilton coming through, now margin to work the tyres

EngineerSo Carl's still to complete, but currently a P2, just a 9.01 at George.

Lewis HAMILTONMagic is accidentally on.

EngineerOkay, copy. We'll just keep dropping temp.

Engineerand probably because of traffic but I have a turn 4 track limit

EngineerYou're five tenths safe at the moment Ollie, so that's okay.

EngineerYou're five tenths safe at the moment Oli, so that's okay. Yeah

Oliver BEARMANI copy that, I'm just struggling to connect the entry.

EngineerMax, stay out, stay out, could be too much traffic if we come through the pit lane, stay out

George RUSSELLAdvise on tie attempts.

EngineerTrack is currently clear, so minus seven from here.

Engineerat the moment

Engineer...D-X, P-T-B, B-G.

Engineeron the beers.

Sergio PEREZThat's on the one on the right

EngineerYeah, they're coming down Plus five is normally the target. So we're actually a pretty good window front left only concern

Liam LAWSONGupy, I struggled a lot with the tyres, rear tyres. Loads

Engineeron

Liam LAWSONclear, loads on clear.

EngineerSo we think we're okay. We'll just wait for a couple more lights to come through.

EngineerAnd that's the chequered flag, nice job, through into SQ2.

Pierre GASLYOkay, that

Engineerwas very close. Yeah, gaps are very close around here, so...

EngineerIt's confirmed that we would not have got through on the first lap time.

EngineerSo getting some reports that the wind strength has picked up quite a bit

EngineerSo we need to push past Norris if we want to keep the prep.

EngineerSo we'll leave it to you if you want to take the prep, if not it will be strat 2

EngineerAnd it will be mode push before last corner mode push you can open up the gap still your margin

EngineerSo let's look at better attempts.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat's

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONtarget? Right where I am?

EngineerPretty much where you are now.

EngineerThat was a good lap. Russell did a 109.7.

EngineerWhat's our position? Do we need to go again? We'll let you know we're currently P6 on the sheets, not everyone's completed a lap yet, are very likely to go again So let's box Hamilton still eight seconds back

Sergio PEREZHow much time is left?

EngineerIt's not time to go out again.

Franco COLAPINTOI understand a lot in seven

Franco COLAPINTOI understeered a little, sorry 7.8, the front got a bit overloaded

Lewis HAMILTONAlright, can you see the rotations?

George RUSSELLWe've gone pretty early here, have we not?

EngineerWe've gone pretty early. Yeah, AFM, we feel we need the lap.

EngineerWe're a bit tight for time here, but you've got a nice clear track in front.

Engineerso higher temps so the difference that we see to george is pushing more through six seven so higher temps six seven maybe better grip for the rest of the lap bearman at three and a half

EngineerSo the difference that we see to George is pushing more through 6.7, so higher temp 6.7, maybe better grip for the rest of the lap. Behrman at 3.5.

Liam LAWSONYeah, Patrick, if

Engineeryou

Liam LAWSONcan look at lines, I have

Engineera

Liam LAWSONlot of balancing through one, and it's upsetting the car, I think. Maybe it's my line.

EngineerI'm

Nico HULKENBERGstill just struggling with the front and the inconsistency and it's just messy.

EngineerYeah, so you finished that session P7. Really good job, Ollie. Well done, mate.

EngineerAlex, at the moment there's only two McLarens on track, Piastri's down turn four and Norris is in pit exit. We're just going to let Norris get round to about turn three, four and then we'll probably go and give you a clean out lap.

EngineerIt does seem like the wind has picked up a little.

EngineerWhite H-10, position 7. White H-10, position 7.

EngineerLando, I was thinking about adding some top wind. Up one? Yep. Yeah, yeah. Cool, up one.

Alexander ALBONI think the wind picked up a lot.

EngineerDo

Lando NORRISyou think one or more?

EngineerJarv's happy with one.

Max VERSTAPPENHow many cars are ahead of me in the pit stop? There's three.

EngineerNorris still crawling out of the pit exit

EngineerSo just don't over push the bolts now.

Liam LAWSONSorry mate, I struggled

EngineerOkay, good luck, buddy. That is P1 at the moment, but I've still got Lando Verstappen.

EngineerOscar, I've lost GPS. I think you're clear behind.

George RUSSELLThree wheeling increased quite a lot that lap. Four, eight, nine.

Pierre GASLYJust reading I was was coming super super nicely and then just drifted there were still good luck

Liam LAWSONCopy. Thanks guys. Yep. Sorry about the Q3 one, but good job. Nothing to be sorry for. We all move forward together.

EngineerThat is everyone, Oscar. You are P1. Good job, mate. Woo!

Oscar PIASTRINice.

Oscar PIASTRISo quite the contrast from last year, thanks everyone. Not bad for a used tyre. Ah, should get food poisoning more often.

EngineerBrilliant job, that was a great used tyre, lovely.

George RUSSELLDid Jeff do a second lap?

EngineerYeah, AFM on that soft art, he did a second lap and improved.

Yuki TSUNODAWell, Timur is happy with the lap, just don't grip, man.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Max VERSTAPPENTurn 4, now the car doesn't turn.

EngineerIt

Max VERSTAPPENis being setting.

EngineerNo, we're not gonna make it. It's like Fox.

Sergio PEREZOh f**k!

Liam LAWSONWait, who was that? Was it Jake or Max? Don't worry,

Engineerplease.

Oliver BEARMANYeah, so it is

Charles LECLERCGood trail racing, that was definitely the maximum today
