OK, two minutes 45.

OK, mate, so we're happy to keep the car running. Two minutes 30 to go. We'll let you know about tyres once we're able to get there.

OK, one minute 45 to go.

So we'll be targeting high end of straight speeds without DRS. We'll do some weaving down to 17 as well, just low frequency.

And one minute to go.

40 seconds.

Twenty seconds.

10.

Ok, so good gap in front there.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8.

OK, so I have to go recharge off after turn 8 for 5 seconds.

OK, mate, so no DRS. He's just wanting to work those fronts.

So no DRS, low frequency weaving. Gap in front 6 seconds.

Let's make that gap to Hulkenberg. 4, 5, good to go.

Okay, and box inside. Watch for Norris. Five seconds time lap.

Paris, four seconds. Time lap and fast in lap, please.

Two and a half behind me.

One second. Clear behind next car, Piastri, 10 seconds pushing.

Okay, mates, so Pierre's first lap time 29.1. For info, 29.1.

So, Piastri, next car pushing behind five and a half seconds.

Yeah, straight. Three and a half.

Three seconds. Gap behind him. Five seconds to Perez also pushing. Gap two seconds to Piastri. And four and a half Perez.

OK, well managed. Perez, two seconds, then a big gap behind him. Let's not give him a toe.

Okay, and box now, please box now. Watch for the waybridge lights on the way in.

OK, box now. Watch for the waybridge lights on the way in. Do I need...?

OK, mate, what do you think about balance? Stopping on the box.

OK mate, what do you reckon?

...a bit in 7-8, but all OK for now. OK, so...

Okay, so we've got Verstappen and Bottas about to start timed laps now. They're at turn 19.

Then we have Tsunoda on a slow lap, turn 19 as well. Tsunoda slow now. He's just coming up to turn 1.

Tsunoda, slow lap. If you go now, you'll come out in front of him.

Clear of traffic behind.

Gap in front six seconds, 2.00pm.

Okay, Esteban, so weaving again down to 17, please.

Okay, so max end of straight speed and weaving down to 17 please. Just watch for Hulkenberg six seconds behind timed lap. I suggest you try and stay in front of him.

Hulkenberg, four seconds. Timed lap. Gap in front, four seconds. Behind Hulkenberg, big gap, no other traffic.

Russell outlap behind.

Recharge on. Fast in lap.

E7 so far.

Pierre's last lap time 28.6. 28.6. OK mate, so clear of traffic behind. How was the balance that time? It was OK. OK, very good. So keep our inlap pace up and box now.

Okay, so clear of traffic behind.

OK, so box now. Watch for the waybridge lights on the way in.

2-1-1. Copes stopping on the marks.

Okay, so in a moment I'm going to ask you to go back to P2 for me, okay? Can you do that now please? P2 now.

OK, mate, so keep me informed when you've got margins.

Can we go SOC 3, please, mate? SOC 3.

Okay, you'll be clear pit exit. We have margin here.

Checkmate, that gap to Albon.

Same outlap as before.

Okay mate, good track position.

Recharge at half five seconds.

And weaving down to 17.

Max into straight speed, no DRS.

Two cars to go in front. No traffic behind.

Just Albon to go in front. Gap. Three seconds. Four. Five. Recharge off. Let's go.

Recharge on and box. Recharge on and box. That is the chequered flag, so no traffic behind.

Okay, mate, a lot of cars still to finish laps. We were early in the queue. We're P8 at the moment.

Okay, mate, and we are safe and through there.

So we'll be boxing now, staying negative on that delta.

And have a think about balance on the way up.

You're quite out of surging, if you can check. Understood.

OK mate, so box in now. Watch for the white bridge lights on the way in. We'll have a look at the engine surging. And we'll have a chat about balance in the garage.

So, for info, Pierre's last lap was a 27.98. He did have a very, very good tow. A lot of cars all scrambling to reach the flag. He was one of them. Copy. Yeah, let me know out lap. Yeah, we will do, mate. So, watch those white lights and stop and watch and switch off.

Yeah, I need to know the outlap. Yeah, that's what we're just working on now. I think I slowed down a little bit on the last one. Yeah, possibly. Pierre was pushed with time, so I think his outlap was maybe a little quicker. We're going to compare and...

Okay, I've got plenty of time.

Esteban, so not expecting a big change of tyre temps with this, so happy to keep the outlap as discussed.

Still plenty of margin.

Okay, so we've got the first car of the group, Tsunoda, entering turn 17 now, so all the cars on track will be pushing. Just a bit of traffic. Gap 5 seconds.

And let's go. Tsunoda about four seconds behind now. Watch for him. Three and a half now. Time lap and he's got about eight seconds behind him.

OK, Stroll four seconds behind timed lap. Recharge off for five seconds.

Stroll 2.6 behind me.

Stroll 2 seconds, timed lap and then a 10 second gap behind him.

So Perez, seven and a half. Timed lap. Only Fernando to go in front. He's four and a half in front.

Bit of weaving down to 17. Perez five seconds behind timed lap. Just need to make that gap to Fernando as well. Behind Perez there's a big gap so we can let him through.

OK, happy to go from now.

OK, recharge on. Clear of traffic behind. We are boxing now. Fast in lap, please.

OK, so we've got a car off at 17, yellow flags there. I think the car's moving, let you know.

Okay, so Pierre's first lap at 28.32, new 28.37, so less than half a tenth in him.

Copy. Okay mate, so same again, have a think about balance on the way in. We are looking into 11 or bad braking. Have a look. Okay, understood. Down 11. Yep, copy that. We'll have a look at braking 11. We are going to go to scenario 7, Esteban. You can do that now. We think that will be increased performance. If you can go to scenario 7 now, please.

Okay, so we're going to keep the same sock setting.

OK, we are boxing now.

Okay, Esteban, so box now, please watch for the waybridge lights on the way in.

What would you like for flap, please?

Keep the same. Understood.

Whitebridge, Whitebridge, Whitebridge.

OK mate, so normal procedures here, so we'll go to P1, back to P2 when you're clear.

It's okay, mate, we've got time.

I'm going to ask you to do the same as before, going back to P2.

Go back to pit now. Standby.

P2 please, P2.

Gas man, we're leaving the flap this side. Turn around.

OK, Sven, I'll give you outlap guidance very shortly. We've got time here again.

OK, Sven, what we'd like to do on this outlap is slightly slower through sector 1 and we'd like to delay throttle application after turn 8 a little bit more. No recharge off there either.

We think a yellow modified turn 11 would help as well.

OK, mate, so we're alright for time here. We've got Hulkenberg starting a lap now. He's at pit entry. He will be pushing this time. Gap in front 6.5, let's go. Watch Hulkenberg entering turn 1, about 2 seconds behind. OK, we're clear.

Two minutes 10 until the flag.

Delay throttle application, no recharge off.

Okay, so just a reminder, we suggest yellow modifier braking for 11 for the fast lap.

Car behind Tsunoda pushing 9 seconds. And then no other traffic, just Tsunoda.

Only Verstappen to go in front as well. Plenty of margin, we're not in a rush. Normal driving down to 7, a little bit of weaving. Tsunoda five seconds behind.

Should be able to push from now.

Recharge off, let's go.

OK, recharge on.

And boxes like that is the chequered flag.

Okay, so a couple of cars still to finish times here. We are out, unfortunately.

Okay, just waiting for Albon to finish his time. Okay, so I think we're P13 there. Pierre didn't improve on his second lap. He's P12. What lap time? So he didn't improve either, so 28.32 for him. 28.37. Yeah, but the second one? Oh, his second one was a 28.6. 28.6.

Yeah, that was the engine deficit we saw.

It was better on the last run.

But the track was slower. Understood, okay.

Okay, mate. Well managed. Busy session with that number of runs and the Weybridge as well. So we will be boxing this lap again. Watch for the Weybridge on the way in. We'll be stopping on the marks and switching off.

Still P13 lots we can do from there for tomorrow. Copy.

OK, stop at the box and switch off.

Esteban, I'd just like you to stay in the car just for 30 seconds.

Just double-checking on the release of laps.
