Okay, so there's nine cars out already. First car will be Alonso. He's still in turn 15 at the minute. I got caught out of it with the brake. The brake pedal is very soft. Copy that. We'll take a look.

Ok, brake pedal very soft, something is wrong with it. Copy mate, we're checking.

Yeah, it's not normal.

Yeah, hi Pierre, we can see that in the data. So let's just come round and plan to come in and we'll take a look.

So still no threats behind Pierre.

All right, Pierre, we're going to box this lap. Still no threats behind.

...for five seconds.

OK, Pierre, we've got Sainz just opening the lap now, and then Esteban will be coming through starting the time lap. So watch out for Sainz.

Nope, and Esteban's in the box.

Happy to keep the pace up on this outlap.

So at the minute we've still got a good gap from cars behind, no threats.

Verstappen, the first car pushing, but he's still 17 seconds back. And he's backed off.

So, just watching Tsunoda on a time-lap 18 seconds back.

Okay, apparently we'll go recharge off before 18.

And we'll go recharge on.

The ride is the worst we've had so far this year. Copy that mate. So we're just watching Ricciardo behind five seconds back on a time lap.

That's three seconds to Ricardo.

Okay, and now we're clear behind. Got to do something for it. Can't even see where I'm going in a straight. Yeah, copy that. We can see what you're talking about. You're happy to go for another push?

And we're happy for you to keep pushing if you're happy. Got a double yellow in turn 11 ahead. Double yellow.

Double yellow after 13. Looks like Albon is stopped.

Red flag. Come on in. Red flag. Recharge on. Box this lap.

Something can't be right, I mean even out of that turn 12 down the straight. Yeah, so we can see. What you're talking about Pierre, we'll come in and we'll make an adjust straight away. Copy.

I want to go back out with these tyres just to... I love it. Yep, copy that. We are just going to lift the car a step so we can see high touching.

So we've got Norris on pit exit and Tsunoda just opening a time lap, so watch out for Tsunoda. And then Piastri, the next car coming through, he's five seconds back. And that's three seconds to Piastri.

Okay, and now Sainz in the next car. He is six seconds back.

And three seconds to science.

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

And next car back is Hulkenberg. He's six seconds back. Behind him is Russell, three seconds behind Hulkenberg.

Still have four seconds to Hulkenberg.

Two and a half to Hulkenberg.

Okay, and recharge on. Recharge on.

Any improvement in ride?

Yeah, it's a touch better, it's still a bit poor in general. Copy that, let's watch out for Behrmann, he's three seconds back.

And then we've got Perez. He's four seconds back.

Two seconds to Perez.

Okay, now we've got a 17 second gap to Piastri. All right, we've taken a step there. How's the balance?

Some understeer. Apex of turn 7. Apex of 17. And traction out of 7. Out of the 14, 15, not great. Alright, we've got Piastri coming through. He's four seconds back. Two seconds.

And now we've got 15 seconds to Ricciardo on a slow lap, so no threats currently.

So the next car pushing is Bottas. He's still 14 seconds back. So let's get ready for our next lap.

OK, we'll go recharge on. Still no threats behind. We've got Ricardo, he's finishing a lap 17 seconds back. And then Leclerc behind him. So we're currently sat in P11. Still some time to gain compared to Esteban in sector 3, looking for about a tenth.

We'll do a cool down lap and then we'll go for one more.

We're in sector 3. We'll come back to you. So Leclerc is the first car pushing 12 seconds back.

And we're still watching Leclerc. He's five seconds back. Four seconds.

And Hamilton the next car back. He's six seconds.

And two seconds to Hamilton.

And now we have an 8 second gap to Bottas, so we could focus on exit of 17.

And we've got four seconds to Bottas. Yeah, he spun. I've been turned. Copy. Watch out for Bottas.

And Hamilton does appear to be moving again.

Bottas is backed off, so no threats. Let's get ready for our lap.

Okay, Pierre, we'll go recharge on and let's box this lap. If we could do an aero cruise after turn 4, that'll be aero P4, 5th gear.

And we've got no threats behind, so P4 fifth gear.

Alright, thank you.

Ok, Pierre, we're only watching Bottas. He's 17 seconds back. Just exiting 7 now.

Ok, Piers, we'll be boxing this lap and we'll be doing a practice pitstop and then we'll switch off.

OK, Pierre, track is clear behind.

And if we could get scenario 8. Scenario 8.

And if we can have SOC 6.

And if we can have SOC 6, SOC 6. Still clear behind, so we'll just focus on the tyres.

What is Stroll going to do? First or second cooldown? Stroll is on his first cooldown on a C5.

Okay Pierre, we'll go recharge on, recharge on and double cool. So we've still got 12 seconds to Verstappen who will be opening the lap.

Please remind me to recharge off starting the lap. Yes, copy that mate, we've seen it. So Esteban, the car behind, on a slow lap. And then we've got Stroll, he's about 7 seconds back.

And he is on a time lap, so we've got five seconds to stroll.

And two seconds.

And behind Stroll is Behrman. Watch out for him on sustainable.

And the next car coming is Hamilton. He's on sustainable. He's five seconds back.

Okay, and now we have Alonso. He's four seconds back on a time lap.

OK, and then we're in sync with the cars around. So Bottas, the car behind, on a slow lap.

Piastri on an outlap.

So we'll go around for another cool.

So, first car pushing now is Hulkenberg. He's just over three seconds back.

Two seconds to Hulkenberg with Leclerc close behind him.

Watch out for the targets. Watch out for Leclerc.

So we want to target a decent gap to the cars ahead, six seconds or more. I know, but I'm stuck with the gaps behind me. So you've got a decent gap to Sainz behind on a time lap, and then he's got Russell behind him, sustainable, and then there's another gap to Sargeant.

We're five seconds to Sainz. He's on a time lap on hard.

So we'll just watch out for Sainz.

What is Russell doing? Russell's on sustainable. So if you just let him go and then we can get a gap behind him. Sergeant's 10 seconds behind Russell.

So let's just keep position now. Let's build a gap to Russell.

So you've got Sargeant three seconds back. So reminder recharge off 18 and let's go.

Okay, mate, we'll go recharge on and we'll do another double cool. We've got five seconds to Sargent behind on high fuel.

And three seconds to Sargeant.

Next car back is Tsunoda, seven seconds back. He's in sustainable.

Three seconds.

And we've got Ricardo now, he's eight seconds back.

And he looks to be on sustainable.

So yeah, the next four cars coming through are all running sustainable. So just three seconds to Ricardo.

Next car back now. Esteban, three seconds back. Two seconds.

And now Behrman is three seconds back.

And we've now got five seconds to Hamilton.

That's three seconds and FYI we're good on timing.

So we'll go around and do another cool-down lap. Still 10 seconds to Piastri. Running sustainable. If we could go SOC 8 for the next lap. SOC 8.

So we've got four seconds to Piastri.

Next car back now. Hulkenberg is seven seconds back.

And we've got four seconds to Hulkenberg.

The next car pushing through is Leclerc.

So we've got Leclerc and Bottas running sustainable.

Bottas two seconds back. After Bottas there's a six second gap to Sainz and behind him is a seven second gap to Russell.

If we want to make a go, I suggest not letting Sainz go, otherwise we need to back up at the Russell.

Sainz doing 1 minute 20s. So we'll go recharge off at 18.

Okay, Pierre, that's the chequered flag, so we'll go recharge on. If we can do an aero cruise out of turn 4, that's aero P4, fifth gear, and we're going to the grid.

Okay, Pierre, and when we get round coming to the grid, we'd like to get two short burnouts after the pit entry wall. So that'll be two short burnouts approaching the grid after the pit entry wall. Okay. And then we'll do a static bite point learn.

And if we could have scenario 3. Scenario 3.

So we need scenario 3 and sock 6, sock 6.

Okay, so we'll do two short burnouts after the pit entry wall, and then we'll do a static bike point learn on the grid on the right-hand side.

Okay, Pierre will be boxing this lap.

And once in the pitlane we'll be doing a practice pitstop and then we can switch off.
