Well it was an awful session, but I managed P2. But let's start now then. I think you said it was an awful session but managed to finish P2. I was gonna say to you, that was alright. Oh no, it was awful. I only did three laps in total, but I ended up P2. But um the rest of the time was uh Well, we started off wet and we we obviously did now an in-lap on a few sets of tires just to all the housekeeping. Came in, I was like, it's gonna be dry so soon. Let's put all the dry settings back on it. And um and we even changed like brakes and everything, ready to do like a dry session. Went out there, warmed up a set of tyres, and then uh I was like, I think the discs are cracked. And they were like, what? And they looked at them and they were like, you're right, they've cracked the discs. So then he has changed the brakes again, and they go, right, you got set what have you got, you've got like 10 minutes left of the session or something. I was like, well, best do a lap then. So they put some tires on, they go, You don't have time to do once pass to actually warm the rears up. You're gonna go out on cold beers, just go out and in. I was like, brilliant. And I went out there and on the second flying lap whacked at P2. So the pads. The fewer laps you do, the better you're getting. That's the experience, like Michael Schumacher. If you don't remember Michael and every FP0 was always quicker than Rossburg, P1 and the Mercedes, he had years out of it. Experience is key, but you do need to have the car under you, and the car is good. Um but I need to now look through the data and see where I can improve. We did have a it was three-quarters dry set up. There was a bit we didn't have fully dry on the car, so if we add that to it and it's fully dry, we'll go quicker. So how much of the circuit has a dry line? I'd say most of the circuit has a dry line, a little bit damp into turn one. Um under brakes, these new brake pads we've now got to run. You hit the brakes and go, and they will stop in a minute. Like I'm braking definitely a car and a half length early to all the big pub stops, which is quite weird. I'm used to braking later. But the pad, you hit the hit brake, nothing happens, so there's nothing we can do about it. Good selection of tires available this weekend as well. Look, the full set. Got the full set, yeah. We've got the softs, the hard, the whole lot. Um, but yeah, it's a big difference between hard and soft round here. Um you get a nice peak out of the hard one then you, um, but then they go off and they're wooden and nothing happens. So the soft tire is softer this year than last year, so it will be a bigger difference. I think Ingram managed to finish fourth and hard last year because he's lucky there's a lot of um shenanigans going on behind him, which held the pack up. Um, so he's very lucky with that fourth last year, but this year that won't happen because the softs are going to be so much quicker than the hard. Well, let's hope that session bodes well for you for the rest of the weekend. Yes, thank you very much. I'm very excited. Well done, Tom.
