Radio check. Yes, loud and clear. As are you.

First car opening lap is Alonso. He's in turn 18 now.

We're synced to turn 5.

Okay, so it's Max ahead. He's seven seconds ahead. He's got two cars close ahead of him, so they'll probably bunch up towards sector 3. Alonso's backed out. He's currently in turn 6. First threat is Albon. He's in turn 2. Plenty of time.

Remember, good gap for sector 3, so build a gap now.

Max has just got Stroll ahead. Stroll in turn 17.

Good gaps to max.

No threats behind. So we recharge off and handbrake to open the lap.

Recharge on. Cancel handbrake.

So, just, Daniel might be in a fast lap behind, so Daniel 2.

He's got Leclerc in turn 2, unsure what he's up to. Still a bit bumpy into turn 1. Copy, Leclerc at 2 seconds. Leclerc at 1, coming fast.

Confirm you're bouncing into turn 1.

No threats behind. How's the balance in general? Do we need a flap adjuster?

That's on now.

Copy, so target will be zero on the dash, zero on the dash.

First threat behind is Hulkenberg. He's approaching turn 9 now.

Hulkenberg at turn 12 now. Five seconds back. Hulkenberg at 3.

Okay, so next deck is Ocon. He's in turn 14, currently six seconds back.

We still go for the... Yeah, double cool, double cool. Ocon's at three seconds.

What? We're coming fast on exit.

OK, so maybe some cars behind opening laps. Tsunoda and Sainz.

Tsunoda's at four seconds. He's opening a lap. Tsunoda at three.

Two. One. Coming past. And Sainz as well. Sainz at one. And coming past.

The next test is Russell. He's just opening his lap now.

So Russell currently in turn 5. He's five seconds back.

Russell at 3.

OK, so make a gap or get ahead of Sainz. It's a good gap ahead of Sainz if you can. Leclerc's in turn 7, he's the next threat.

Sainz at turn 12 now. He's seven seconds back. Good gap to Sainz here. Look like at 5.

Two. One. OK, so recharge off and handbrake to open lap. Let's follow Leclerc through.

Okay, Bilode got to clear out the Bilode gap in case it's unsustainable. Next lap is Biermann, he's in turn 17. Recharge off and good to go.

OK, recharge on, recharge on. Might have Tsunoda opening a lap.

We're boxing at the end of this lap. Okay, Tsunoda is on a lap. Yep, he's just crossed the start-finish line now. We'll have some aggressive weaving here, sorry, gentle weaving here. Gentle weaving.

Tsunoda, turn 3 now.

That's a note at 5.

1. Carbass and exit.

Next out is Russell. He's in turn 3 at present.

What a position!

So we'll go for some aggressive weaving on the run to 14. Aggressive weaving. Russell's still in turn 9, so not a threat.

Yeah, I must have some braking acceleration here. Braking acceleration. Russell just approaching turn 14.

Very good, just Russell is at six seconds. We're boxing.

Yes, that's Beerman ahead of you. You've got no threads behind. You've got Norris just opening a lap now.

Build the gap through here so we can have a clean run out of sector 3.

So Beerman's only got Leclerc in front of him, pretty well spaced, so they won't be backing up.

What's the gap to Behrman? Behrman is six seconds ahead. I'll be recharged off, handbrake open lap and a red button reminder turn 17.

OK, recharge on. Recharge on. No threats behind at present. Highway's clear.

A small difference. Very small difference. It feels a little more aggressive the first impact.

It's the chicane, but a nicer settling.

Copy. And balance.

We're still a bit neutral in places on the entries of some medium speeds and into the low speed turn 7 it felt a little bit more understeer, the balance.

Copy, obviously this tyre is not fresh anymore.

The first out behind is Alonso. He's currently approaching turn 5.

And also the red button felt very aggressive for the final sector. Copy. Alonso turn 12. Alonso five seconds back.

1-0-3.

Two. One. Going fast. Behind him is Ricciardo. He's at five seconds, four seconds now. Three.

Two, one, going past.

Norris is the next car. He's at six seconds.

We've got Tsunoda closing a lap. He might be high fuel. OK, no, it looks like he's backed out. He's got two seconds. He's backed out.

Currently, no threats behind.

My left mirror has some vibrations, so have a look when we're back. Copy.

So, Gasly's pushing in turn 6. He's currently 6 seconds back.

Go as late as 3.

Two, one, clear past.

Checo, we'll recommend DiffMid 5. DiffMid 5, that's for the full lap. And then handbrake turn 17.

Got no threats behind. Everyone on the same schedule.

So, good gap to Birmingham. He's currently five seconds ahead.

Recharge off and handbrake to open the lap.

OK, recharge on, but keep up the pace. We're boxing this lap.

So I have some high-speed weaving here. High-speed weaving.

Crazy steer at turn 7.

Okay, build a gap so we can have a look at the entry. So gap here so we can have an attack the box. No threats behind.

OK, we've got Zhou just opening a lap. He'll be alongside at the exit. OK, he's just past now. We've got Stroll in turn 18. He'll be opening for a lap. Let's let him through before turn 2. And we can focus on our tyres.

Coming past two seconds. Coming past... nope.

Okay, no threats behind. Focus on your tyres. You know the targets.

So, you've only got Max ahead. He's already opened the lap as well. He's currently nine seconds ahead. He's just entering turn 17 now.

So we recharge off and handbrake when you're ready.

Leclerc behind. He's high fuel, so he'll be pushing. He's currently seven seconds back.

Clerk at 5.

3, 2, 1. Climb past. Next threat is Zhou. Zhou's in turn 3 now. He's got six seconds back.

1.0 coming past. Then we've got Russell. Russell's at six seconds back at present.

Tsunoda, who's just left the pits, but he looks like he's high fuel. Tsunoda's at two seconds, Russell three behind him. So there's two cars going past just now.

OK, we've got a bit of a gap now. We've got 14 seconds till Gasly. OK, how was that?

The entrance ability seems to be better into the... We obviously lost into the low speed.

I'm travelling more into 7, and it's OK. You've got 4 seconds.

Gasly at 3.

2-1. Coming fast. Next lap behind is Biermann. He's 20 seconds back. OK, so struggling low speed but approved medium speed. And kerb right.

Yeah, not much difference.

I would like to go up a flap. Okay, how many clicks? I would like to go up two clicks.

Up 2, Sergio Checo, up 2. Up 2 clicks, correct.

So Max is doing a flap adjust as well, so just key behind him.

Strat 12. Strat 12.

Strat 8. Strat 8.

Okay, you've got Leclerc. He's just crossed the start-finish line. He's still high fuel, so he's on a tight lap.

We've got Russell turn 18. He looks to be high fuel as well. Same with Tsunoda as well. So they're both crossing the start-finish line now.

Still, my left mirror is by braking. Copy.

Sainz is behind you. He may be high-field. He's just left the box, so he might climb past.

Russell is just in turn 5. He's five seconds back. Max is on the same program as us? Yep. Russell at 2.

What? Quite past.

So Sargeant is next coming up. He's just left the box but he's also high fuel so he may be coming past. He is high fuel though so make a good gap.

So Tsunoda's behind, he's on a cool lap. Then we've got Daniel who's just left the box, unsure what he's up to. So we need to stay ahead of him in case he's out of fuel.

Daniel's at seven seconds back.

Daniel, he may be coming fast. It's five seconds. Behind Daniel, we've got a few other cars. Daniel at five. Daniel at two now.

Daniel Ogon and Ocon directly behind him.

OK, recharge on. Daniel behind. Daniel behind, still pushing. So Daniel's at 2, 1. Coming past then. Ocon's also high fuel. He's at 3 seconds.

1. He'll come past on exit. Next up is Biermann. He's also high fuel. He's at five seconds. We can keep up with pace.

Do you want another lap?

I'll do the tyres now.

We can get lots of cool down.

Yeah, we're tight. Yeah, we can. Berman behind, he's at second. He's coming past you now.

Hamilton's high fuel. Hamilton's six seconds back. Do you want a second lap? Another lap?

I don't think I will go quicker. Hamilton at 3. Hamilton at 2. Hamilton at 1.

Are you going to learn anything or can we just prep for the grid launch?

Yeah, let's prep. I think we prep for the grid. Okay. Max was going quicker on his next lap. Norris is behind fishing. One second.

Oh yeah, let's try it then. Let's try another lap. Okay, cool the tyres, cool the tyres. So Piastri is turn 18. He's at 2 seconds.

So you need to do a good job of cooling tyres here. Eyes on dash.

So we've got Hulkenberg at five seconds.

Hulkenberg at 3, 2, 1. Coming past Leclerc behind him. Four seconds. Leclerc at 3, 2, 1.

3, 2, 1. Going past. Bottas at 5.

Bottas at 2.

What? Can't I pass? Sainz next, seven seconds.

GP at 3. Sorry, Sainz at 3. Sainz at 1.

OK, next is Russell. Russell at 4.

Russell at 2. Coming past Sargeant is next. He's seven seconds back.

Sergeant, three seconds.

Next is Tsunoda. Tsunoda's at three seconds.

That's number two. Coming past.

Zhou is behind next. I'm not sure what he's up to. He was just letting past. Let's cool the tyres. Then Daniel at six seconds.

Daniel at three, two, one, coming past.

Okay, so we've got a good gap coming behind us. Let's let Ocon past and Behrman and Hamilton. Hamilton is currently 10 seconds back. Let's let all three of them past and we've got a good gap. Okay, so Hamilton's backed off, so let Behrman past. Build your gap. We recharge off. So Hamilton's at 7 seconds. Use up all this gap. Hamilton at 6.

Still 5. Plenty of time. Easy up the gap. Everyone's on high fuel.

Bearman, seven seconds up. OK, let's go.

OK, recharge on. So the target is plus 20, below plus 20.

Checkered flag is in 60 seconds, so we'll be back once round and then for the grid start, so complete this lap.

We've got Piastri at six seconds. So everyone behind us is still pushing.

Mode 12.

And torque 3 when you can.

Piastri's still at five seconds.

Tyres looking quite good here, so yeah, good job.

So we're staying out to take the flag, so stay out, stay out.

Piastri is still behind you. He may be pushing. He's two seconds back. Is there a turn in front of me? Yes, but he's still going right past you.

On that final lap, I think there was a bit higher wind. The car was moving more on the straights.

OK, Checo, so it'll be one long burnout, one long burnout, left-hand side or shortest queue, and we'll have a low grip release. Low grip release.

Remember, brakes.

Box, box. Focus on your marks.
