OK, Sainz is closing a time lap. You have Perez ahead of you in that lap. OK, Sainz coming by now on Russell behind, closing a time lap. You're good.

Okay, position is good. Perez outlap forward.

We have Leclerc pushing 3.5, only car pushing. Leclerc 3. Leclerc 2.5 pushing. Leclerc 2 pushing. Leclerc coming now. Fail 99 fail. Fail 99 fail.

And please try the DRS before last corner. We need to be negative on the dash, Daniel. We are plus six.

No one pushing behind. Next car, Alonso, 30.

Okay, good braking, turn 11, on last corner. Sing the gears, please. Sing the gears and try the DRS.

We have margin on tyres.

Fail 9. Fail when you can in the back straight.

So, fail 9-fail as soon as you can. Okay, and now let's focus on being negative, weaving and try the DRS, please.

Russell, 36.4. Magnussen, 36.6. Good braking last corner. Church of last corner.

OK, DRS working. We are good. Perez 2 ahead. Open the gap. We are good on position. Perez 3. Perez 3.5. Perez 4. Charge up and go.

Brakes weren't very good at turn 14. I could see some smoke. Copy, we're checking. Looking good on numbers at the moment. It's 10 negative, box, box. Yeah, I lost quite a bit of efficiency 14 and then a lot of smoke front right. We are checking. We are checking. Leclerc 6 behind pushing and then Albon 10.

Box, box.

Leclerc 4.5 pushing on Albon is 4 behind Leclerc pushing as well.

We think it was maybe the third toggle for efficiency. Leclerc 3 behind pushing.

Leclerc 2.5, pushing.

OK, Leclerc, two pushing and then it's Albon 6. Box, box.

Albon forepushing.

Albon straight, pushing, box, box, wide jump mid-glide.

We are all okay for temperature with the brakes. We think the efficiency was maybe the third toggle. Doesn't work out so well. We discussed with Patrick. Box, box. Your lap time 36.36. Same as Sargeant. Bottas 35.5.

We are looking at plus one full step for the next run. Box, box. Watch your brake lights.

Okay, I will show you Yuki's lap, it's just from 2.5 seconds, sector 1, track is improving quickly.

Stop in front of the garage and switch off.

Happy with plus one step? Yep, I think torque 8, EB8 as default as well. Copy.

I have the green light on my dash, just checking that's all OK.

I've got LED.

Yeah, you can ignore it.

Engine 11, position 5. So Daniel, to Yuki's lap he is just doing now, we brake a bit early in turn 1. We lose about a tenth braking to entry turn 1 and 2.

In other places, Yuki, in turn 9, he managed to carry more late entry speed. But I agree there with the understeer, so going EP8 is good to me and you can use the pull toggle already from turn 7 onwards. And don't use the third toggle in the last corner. I think we're OK on re-locking there. OK, Daniel, Yuki did a 35.95. And we're currently P16 with a 36.4.

Engine 8, position 7.

EB8.

OK, Daniel, track will be clear on the big track improvement. Norris just went purple now. Ahead of you is Hamilton, behind you is Max at the moment.

OK, and outlap, do we think? That should be a bit quicker. Same outlap. Same outlap.

Hamilton, 5 ahead. Stroll, 8 behind. Position is good. Let's keep working on this brake. Start from turn 6. OK, Bottas, out of phase, pushing, 10 behind.

Okay, Bottas only car pushing 7 behind.

Hamilton 3, you're ahead on that lap.

Bottas 5 behind pushing, Hamilton 2.5 ahead.

Bottas 3.5, Bottas 3, Bottas 2, pushing, coming now. We have multi-unit tyres, high-speed weaving, on good braking last corner.

On negative underline, please. Don't drop too much from now on.

OK, position is good. Hamilton is 3-red. No one pushing behind. Reminder, pull to goal, turn 7 at 9. Good braking, last corner, open the gap to Hamilton.

Hamilton, 4. Hamilton, 4.5. Hamilton, 5 and going. Charge off.

Ok Daniel, still plenty of cars to come. We'll keep you posted.

Stay negative on your way in, please.

Box, box, stay negative.

Okay, P14. Box, box. Stay negative. So Bottas is three tenths of the road. Let's try to see what we can find for Q2.

Yep, I'd say still probably most lap time would be front at the moment, so I think we keep going the direction we went. Copy. We can maybe try another full step and then revert if it's too much. Box, box, watch the bridge lights, stop in front of the garage.

Box, box. Stop in front of the garage and switch off.

Yep, pitlane.

The question now is whether we do everything with flap or if we do something with a bit of diff on EB. So let's have a chat with Patrick and you guys come back to me. Yeah, yeah, because I think to attraction we still lack, like Exeter 3 I had a big snap. That's my concern with the flap, yeah.

I mean, it's quite low speed.

Select 3 and 6.

OK, Daniel, you do what you need to do in the pit exit and then we try to target 0 or just below.

We have a long train behind you, but everyone will open doors.

Okay, Stroll, five ahead. Reminder to stay negative. Alonso, open the massive gap behind.

OK, we will need a good braking turn in Lebanon as well.

And we'll keep the weaving before the last corner for the front tyres.

Back to offset 0 now. Stroll forward, Alonso 8 behind. And reminder to be negative at the line, please.

Reminder, after turn 6, mid 5, pull to ground.

Make sure we have good weaving where you are and enough minimum speed in the last corner for the surface temperatures.

Stroll 5 ahead, Vergoet.

So not too aggressive on power. We keep the rear alive. And make sure we are negative, please. Charge off.

Box, box, stay negative. OK, not too bad. We need to try to find something for sector 1. It's the main limitation at the moment. We have a look in the garage.

Yeah, yeah, it's very similar to the Q1 feeling through there. Copy that. In terms of aero balance, do you think we are ballpark or we do another half a step for trackable?

Traction was a little bit difficult. Maybe we should stay. Yeah, that lap traction got harder. Copy. Everyone is boxing. Stay negative, please.

OK, so your lap time is 35.2, Bottas 35.0.

And it's still very, very tight. It's 50 milliseconds to Albon, 70 milliseconds ahead of Ocon. So we are ahead of these guys, but still very tight.

We have a double yellow. Last corner, box, box. Sainz is out. Red flag.

OK, make sure we stay legal on the delta. Box, box, watch your pressure rise.

Yep. Would a click rearwards help for turn 40? Because I'm really struggling there to get the car stopped. Copy, we're checking.

Okay, thank you.

Stop in front of the garage and switch off.

Engine 8, position 6 for performance. So, Daniel, regarding turn 14, we have already a bit of rear locking there in the data, so I would not be keen to go rearward offset there.

OK.

OK, we have Max in the last corner. He should be ahead of us when we exit. And make sure we open a big enough gap at the pit exit. And then we do what we need in the hotlap.

Yes, Alonso is opening a massive gap in the pit exit. Could be no choice, the car ahead of you is stopped.

Okay, tyres are not looking too bad actually compared to yesterday with the queue. We're in a good place. Everyone is on new tyres. Hulkenberg is 4.08, negative at the line.

So we don't want to be too fast, same as the previous run, please. We stay on plan. We just want to be negative at the line. Good braking at turn 6 and turn 11 still.

I expect Hulkenberg to potentially drop a bit ahead of you. He is very, very close to the alpine. OK, he is overtaking the alpine now.

So we have Ocon six ahead. Okay, we have no one pushing behind, everyone doing the same now.

34.6. For info, on good braking turn 11, brakes on the low side. Give us a good brake turn 11, please.

OK, good job. Offset 0. Offset 0, turn 1. Behind you is Sainz. Let's make sure we don't have the same sketch as yesterday. The same sketch as yesterday. It's 3 behind. Cut 5 ahead. OK, let's do some weaving for surface temperatures. Please stop it. Ocon, Sainz ahead. Sainz 3 behind. Outlap is good. Good braking last corner. Stop.

Ocon is 5 ahead. Shift 5 before turn 1. Ocon 5.5, Ocon 6.0. Charge off.

Reminder for shape 4 before turn 6.

OK Nando, I'll keep you posted. Still a few cars to come.

Stay negative, please. Good job, sector 1. Shame about turn 9.

Yeah, keep me posted. Yeah, so I see P11. And we have Bottas to come.

OK, yeah, sorry, so Bottas squeezed in. It's just below two tenths to P10. And it's one tenth to Stroll in P11. So that's P12 for us.

Thank you. Yeah, I think sector 2 is a bit on the edge, but I think, yeah, not much more than that. Okay, and make sure you're negative at the line, please. Box, box.

We have a Hulkenberg in P9, which is 3 tenths.

On the Bottas pit end, just below two tenths.

OK, where is most of the time? Sector 1 and 2? Sector 1 and 2, yes. Sector 3 is strong.

I would say sector 1 remains, where we lose consistently one tenth to these two cars. Box, box, watch the brake lights.

To be honest, I'd say that run through sector 1 was, I think, as good as it had.

OK, we'll have to have a look. We couldn't beat this car. Anyway, not a bad effort and we know what we have on the car to fight again tomorrow. We should look forward to tomorrow.

Yeah, understood. Yeah, I'm excited for tomorrow.
