And Pierre, if we could get mode 1. That's mode 1.

Thank you. Forty seconds.

And 20 seconds.

OK, track is now green.

Albon as well, doing high 15s, well, 16-0, high 15s, 16-0.

Tsunoda averaging 16.6. So let's see what we can do.

So, if you want, you can back up into Sainz. Seven seconds back to Sainz.

We should get two more laps.

A bit of time to save in turn 10, braking. Time to be gained.

Okay, that's the chequered flag so we're going to go around to the grid. Let's go recharge on. Quite a few cars complained of graining out there at the front.

Yeah, I think we got it solved, that braking issue. Just the braking is not... Yeah, I've seen it.

So we'll have a good thing tonight.

So when we get round towards the grid, coming out of turn 19, if we could have three burnouts please. We'll have three burnouts. Then we'll do a static bike point learn on the grid and a start from the left-hand side.

Engine braking. The torque when I downshifted to second on the chicane like just now, something. Less torque. Yeah, I can see that. We'll go through that in the office.

OK, let's box this lap.
