Okay, so Pierre's first lap, 17.28, 17.28.

How is the balance, please? It's on the edge with the front end, so we have enough front end. Okay, that's good. Have a think if you'd like and adjust to that for the next round, otherwise we're just staying negative on the delta and we're boxed. No traffic at the moment.

Paceman still all clear of traffic and we're boxing now.

Okay, so Albon behind is backed off, so he's starting a time lap this time. We're boxing now, please watch for the waybridge lights on the way in.

Stopping on the box and switching off.

And back to P2, please, Esteban. Back to P2. I'll be doing that every run.

Okay, so we've got Sainz and Leclerc going slow in front. Slow lap. Go now. Go now to safety car line 2. Watch for Piastri on a time lap. Piastri coming through time lap, so we've got a good gap to Ricciardo in front now. Watch for Piastri.

Okay, so Sainz, Leclerc, Gasly all slow laps behind.

Perez in front now. Slow lap by the looks of it. You can go in front of him if you want.

Decent gap in front of Perez.

Happy to stick to the baseline outlap at the moment. Six seconds in front of Perez.

All right, from Ricciardo, out lap.

Good gap here, six seconds.

Okay mate, we're P5 at the moment. We've got a good gap in front.

Just about SOC 5 if you count SOC 5.

OK, recharge on and box, recharge on and box.

Okay, how was the balance that time? Clear of traffic.

Yes, CP down. OK, understood.

Okay, so Pierre's second lap, he's just finished at 16.0 for info, 16.0.

We'll go through the overlay back in the garage. Yeah, outlap please. Yep, understood.

Okay Esteban, stop at the marks and switching off.

Okay, Esteban, I'll explain the plan, what we're going to do differently when we're in the garage. Yeah, I feel that the front are probably not ready for turn 2. Let's go P2, please, P2. P2 now.

Okay, so I might have some gravel. Before turn 5, car went off. Exit turn 4 for info.

Just stroll the car in front. Everyone leaving the pitlane behind us.

OK, Zhou, the car behind.

Okay, so 200kph maximum down to 7, please.

Okay, so no weaving. We can pick the speed up from now.

Bias it towards the end of the lap. Only two cars to go in front.

Okay, we're looking for good drive through the last two corners to prep the surface. Zhou two seconds behind on an outlap.

Brake 3. Brake 3.

Brake for 3 now.

Alright, max push, let's go.

OK, so cars still starting laps now. We've got Tsunoda five seconds.

So, the three and a half timed.

Two seconds. Next car after him, Sainz, five and a half.

Slacks, four seconds.

2.5 for Sainz and a big gap behind him.

Looks like Sainz has backed off maybe. We'll have Leclerc coming through about five and a half behind. He's two cars back.

Leclerc, time lap 4 seconds.

Three seconds and we're boxing now. Leclerc, two and a half.

Leclerc pushing.

Clear behind Leclerc. And box now.

Watch for the white bridge lights on the way in. Turn in.

OK, so we are through. Stopping on the marks and switching off. Might just need to pull around the Aston.

Okay Esteban, so we're through there. So for the next session I'll just go through what we're going to use when we're plugged in. Yeah, we have too much oversteer in the last two corners. So I went up to D5 now. Okay, understood.

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