00:03You saw the timing sector line there painted across the racetrack to turn two suites, and here the pivotal corner,
00:09up onto the oval, of course he'll take to the warm-up lane, if he's coming in, and, well, he
00:17just took a lap off to pull the tires down, and then, he obviously needed that data, there you hear
00:21it snick up here.
00:29Down to second gear, 45 miles an hour, off the throttle, second for this bit, everybody seems to wash out
00:43as they turn it down.
00:44Well, everyone's set up for the first hour, Derek, the circuit is quite slippery, because the asphalt is new, there's
00:49very little grip, and the hard compound tires they're running don't exploit the values of mechanical grip, do they?
00:56Yep, absolutely not, David's beautifully neat with that segment there, down Holman Strait, 185 miles an hour, second gear through
01:07turn eight, turn nine very, very slow indeed, a little bit of power, holding in gently,
01:13and the, this is the all-important right-left right-hander here, turn 11, have to back up a bit,
01:21and it's flat, all the way through 12.
01:25Just a little off pace of that fastest lap he set moments ago.
01:35114.56, and this lap, 114.8, flat, Peter?
01:48David also has a severe head cold, we heard yesterday, I was talking to him, he sounded very clogged up,
01:54he said he probably caught it from air conditioning, maybe on the flight over, so, remarkable performance for David to
01:59be quickest at the moment, particularly with those problems he's had.
