And radio check turn 8. Radio check. OK, radio is good.

So most cars out on the hard tyre.

So, just missing first gear sync, otherwise all gears are good. We'll go recharge off at turn 17 and then go for our first push.

Yeah, a lot of traffic.

Okay, copy that mate.

OK, we'll go recharge on. We've got some issues with GPS, so I'll try and help you, but we've got Russell and Hulkenberg opening time laps behind, so we need to watch out for the two of them.

Okay, now next car back is Zhou and Bottas. They're both just finished a time lap, so they're in sync with you. How's the initial balance? Yeah, it's okay. Just had a lot of traffic in the second sector.

My initial feeling is OK. A bit of bouncing through turn 1 and a bit of toll right over the kerbs, second sector. OK, currently P3 on the timesheets. Esteban did a 32.4. So let's just focus on cooldown and then we'll go again after this.

A little bit of time to gain in sector 2, 1 tenth to Esteban. There is 5 tenths coming without the traffic, so... Yep, copy that. We'll build it up, mate.

Feels grippier than it was for FP1 last year. OK.

There's still no threats behind.

Piastri is the car in front.

Anyone pushing behind? We just got Sainz pushing, watch out for him. Okay, all clear mate.

And Ricciardo might be pushing.

Okay, so there's a yellow flag ahead. Leclerc is sideways on the track, so we'll be careful. Turn 13.

So everyone is backing up here while we wait for Leclerc to do a three-point turn.

Am I good to push next lap?

Affirm, we can just reset, pick a gap and we'll go again.

And red flag, red flag, so we'll recharge on, we'll box this lap.

So Leclerc is still sideways in the track, so be careful when you get to sector 3. We'll be boxing this lap.

And just watch out for Leclerc's hopping out now.

And then, Pierre, if you could just create a little bit of gap to the car ahead.

How much do you want? That looks pretty good to me, thank you.

OK, so Zhou is the car ahead. First car coming through will be Sargeant. He's in turn 17 now. Why are the front tyres so cold? We will look into that. Feel free to do some weaving whilst we've got...

And you could go forwards on the brake pedal if needed.

So Sargeant is now turn 12.

So we'll just keep an eye on Sargeant coming down the back straight and then good gap after him.

Tsunoda is the next car back, but we'll go recharge off and do our first push.

I'll go recharge on.

So you've got a good gap behind. Yeah, tyre squirt to cold was pretty bad in turn 1-2. OK, copy that. Currently P7.

Still maybe a tenth in sector 3 compared to Esteban.

And if we could press OK twice, if we could clear errors, press OK twice.

So Verstappen is going to be the first car coming through. He's currently in turn 4.

So time to gain in sector 3 is exit of turn 16. So you've got Verstappen as the car behind. Watch out for him.

And then behind Verstappen is Albon. He's just entered 11.

So we'll just watch out for Albon, the car behind.

And then the next car back is Magnussen. He is now exiting turn 16.

OK, we'll go recharge on. So, Ricciardo, the car behind, just finished a time lap. Behind him is Magnussen. Could be running sustainable. Magnussen in turn 1.

Watch out for Magnussen.

Okay, so Ricciardo and Zhou behind in sync.

And Pierre, if we could get PU7 position 5. That's PU7 position 5.

So the first next car coming through will be Sargeant. He's in turn 9. So let's watch out for Sargeant behind.

And if we could press OK twice. Press OK twice.

Let me know about the pay sectors, please. Yep, copy that. So Esteban just completed a lap. He did a 30.4. He had a good tow, so he's got a lot of straight line advantage.

So there's a little time to gain in turn 1 mid-corner and exit of turn 16.

I'll go recharge off and then let's go again.

I had a small kiss with the wall. In the last corner. Yeah, with the rear right. Right, copy that. Can we go scenario 3? We'll just have a quick check of the data but then we'd like to do some sustained running. Yeah, I just want a clean lap. Clean lap because the straight lines feel completely different now. Just need to get the braking points.

On a boost next lap and then after we can lose the enable. Yep, copy that mate.

So we'll stay scenario 8. Car behind is Ricardo. He's on a slow lap. Behind him is Albon. Could be running sustainable. Albon exiting turn 8.

Albon three seconds back. Watch out for him.

And the next car back is Perez. He's eight seconds back on a time lap.

You've got a two-second gap to Perez.

Behind is now Zhou. He could be pushing two seconds.

And the next car now is Sainz, four seconds back.

Okay, Pierre, you have the top right available for turn 17.

Once you cross the start finish, we'll go scenario 3 and keep pushing.

Okay, Pierre, if we can get PU3 position 4. PU3 position 4.

Is everything OK with the pit?

Affirmative Pierre, everything is okay from our side.

If we could do two more laps, two more laps.

Okay Pierre, we'll go recharge on and we'll box this lap, so recharge on. You've got a nine second gap to Bottas behind, running sustainable.

We will do an aero cruise after turn 16. Aero P4, fifth gear, turn 16.

I have a lot of oscillation in sector 2, through 13, 14, 15, in second gear and third gear. OK, copy that. We've got six seconds to Bottas behind.

We've got just over four seconds to Bottas. We'd like an aero cruise, aero P4, fifth gear out of turn 16.

Thank you for that. We'll just watch out for Bottas. The next car is Verstappen, four seconds back. And we'll box this lap and we'll do a practice pitstop.

So we've just got Zhou crossing the start finish now. It looks like Zhou just finished a time lap, so he could be backing off.

Okay Pierre, we can do a little bit of weaving. Who's that guy ahead of me? So you've got Alonso ahead on a slow lap. He's on his second cool-down. Comp soft. He's on the hard tyre.

And Albon, the car behind, going slowly.

Okay Pierre, we'll go recharge on. Recharge on and double cool. We've got Albon just across the start finish behind you. He just completed a time lap. And you're currently sat in P1.

Bottas will be the first car pushing. He's just opening his lap now. Copy. If we could try and respect the delta on these cool-down laps, I'm just conscious of time to get our third push in. Copy. Yeah, the rear was moving quite a lot through 6, 7, 8, I don't know why. Just a lot of rear slide. Okay, copy that. Are you happy with front wing? Yeah, I'll try another lap like that. Okay, so we'll stay scenario 7 and we'll do SOC 5. We can go SOC 5 and focus on recharge.

You've got high speed six available.

And we'll just keep focusing on the tyres, try and stick to that delta.

So, Alonso just crossed the start-finish. He's maybe four seconds back. He could be on a cool-down lap, but we'll just watch out for him.

And Sainz the car behind on a slow lap. We've got Esteban pushing. He's about four seconds back.

Esteban, three seconds on the time-lapse.

And if we could get damp 12, damp 12, and keep an eye on your delta.

And you've got five seconds to Bottas behind on a time lap. You've got the top right enabled just FYI.

We'll go recharge off and let's go again.

Okay mate, we'll go recharge on, recharge on and double cool.

Perez, the car behind, just finished a time lap. So that first lap put you at P6. Esteban's first lap was a 29.4. He's in P9.

So we're going to go scenario 8 for the next lap and it'll be a double cooldown.

And most cars behind are on slow laps.

And if we can go SOC 6, that'll be SOC 6. And for the next lap, suggest not using the top right for turn 17.

Yeah, look at the right.

All that middle sector. The car is shaking quite a lot. Okay mate, we'll take a look. Still no threats behind. Verstappen back in turn 11 pushing. Are you happy with front wing for this final lap? Yeah, just let me know how much time I have for the last cooldown. Yep, we are looking at it. Let's just stick to the delta if we can.

So you've got Tsunoda, he could be pushing behind.

So next car back is Stroll on a time-lapse six seconds back.

We've got three seconds to stroll.

Okay, and we need to be a bit negative on the Delta Pier. So if we could increase the pace a bit.

Yeah, tell me exactly what we need. Yeah, we're gonna have to use DRS down the back straight.

And if you could overtake Sargeant.

We're maybe three seconds behind so if you can get by Sargeant. We need to push down this back straight. Use DRS. Might have to push until the end and then just launch into your lap, mate. We've got 15 seconds to the flag so I'd go recharge off and just go for it.

Unfortunately, Pierre, sorry mate, we missed that. Yeah, guys, I needed to be more on it. Yep, nope, that's my bad, mate. I've got some issues here, but we'll look at it. So, we're going to the grid. Go recharge on.

Can I at least push first and second sector? Yes, you can. Pushing mate.

Sorry, decided not to.

Yeah, so apologies for that, Pierre. We're going to the grid.

Okay, so if we could do two burnouts, two burnouts, and then we'll do a static bike point learn, and we'll do a start from the right-hand side.

And if we can get scenario 1. Scenario 1.

And let's push on the in lap until turn 17.

We'll go recharge on and we'll box this lap. Box this lap.
