Straight out. Track is clear.

No transcript available

It feels very different, the steering, compared to yesterday. Copy that. Strap 14 available if you want to push.

The torque doesn't feel even left or right. Can't do that.

It's a very light turn in.

No transcript available

So, clear behind. So there's no vibrations, which is obviously good. Steering's very light, turning left and heavier, turning right.

Copy that, so clear behind. Box, box, stop on the marks and switch off.

And that was good on the marks and good speed in.

Straight out. Track is clear.

Just a marker there for the left or right. Have a look at the torque for Simon.

So, clear in sector 3. I'm going to go for a build. Affirm. We agree.

That'll be strat 3.

So clear in sector 3.

No concerns behind and will be strapped to next lap.

So, red flag, red flag, no overtaking. Delta positive. I got Valtteri at turn 18.

Looks like he's hit the wall, so just caution there because he's still on track. He's rolling backwards across the track at the moment.

So, Valtteri is now moving. He's blocking the track actually now. He's going to try and get it out of the way so there might be a bit of space behind him.

So, box, box, stop on the marks and switch off.

So we've got a restart in 20 seconds.

That front right is still picking up very easily into 5.

Yeah, copy that.

A set B-Bal and we'll be strat 2, lap 1.

Strat 1. Single cool. No more tyres. Fast charge on. Opening a lap.

Target minus 10. Verstappen at 3.

Verstappen two and a half. Out two. Clear behind Verstappen for a bit.

Is Piastri pushing or on a call? No, he's on a call. First car who's pushing is Leclerc at 15.

Few cars in sector 3 at the moment. Should clear by the time we get there. It might be just Magnussen.

Leclerc at six seconds on a lap, so it looks like Magnussen's going anyway. Leclerc at three and a half, now three, two, he'll be strat two.

OK, so Strat 1. I'll leave it to you if you want single or double call. Piastri car behind at three seconds. Just completed a lap.

Targeting minus 10, so Piastri at 2. Just keep an eye on him in case he's pushing consecutives. Should have backed off. Then Verstappen at 4, 3, 2 to Verstappen, then clear behind him.

For info, Lewis had a lock-up at turn 1, went down the escape road just opening his lap. May have been a bit too cool on temps.

Next car on the lap, Leclerc at 5.

Two and a half to Leclerc and there's a gap behind him. Now two seconds.

Clear behind. There is traffic in sector 3 here. Three cars. Just let me know if you're going for another call. Let me know in sector 3 and let me know behind if anyone wants to go in. Clear behind sector 3, just Lewis in the pit, so it's clear now. It's Strat 2 if you're going this lap.

And set B-Bal. Yep, you've done it.

So Piastri first lap, four seconds.

3 seconds to Piastri. 2, 1, and then it's 5 seconds to Ocon. 4, 3, 2, clear behind Ocon. Going to be a line set for you, right?

Two car, yeah, three cars will be sector 3. Gas will be next car at nine seconds.

Check rear left. Should be fine.

Multiple three-wheel in turn 7.

Just watch out that rear left please. Yeah. A little bit strange. Gasly behind might be starting a lap and he's gone down the escape route. Yeah, we see temps vary. Leclerc at 3. He has just been through that yellow. Yeah, he's backed off. Pressure's vibrations are OK.

Can you just have a look at the diff and the B-Bal in turn 7 please? I keep snatching the front right.

Do we have time for a single when I double-couple and go again? What's the current plan?

Anyone behind pushing? Negative. Not until Perez. He's a long way back. Currently turns 8.

So Alonso car behind may well be opening. Five seconds.

Alonso at four seconds on a lap.

Now three, two seconds to Alonso, then it's five to Ocon.

That's 4 to Ocon on a lap.

Three seconds to Ocon and he's got Gasly five and a half behind him.

Two to Ocon.

Tyre temps are looking like they're in a good window now.

So, Gasly will be next car. He's at three and a half seconds. We've just got Alonso and Tsunoda to clear in sector 3. So, Gasly at 3. Now 2. Gasly on a lap.

Clear behind strat 2. Good to go.

So we've got Magnussen car behind four seconds on our lap.

Connector set at 2 on a lap.

And Leclerc at 3.

So Leclerc has backed off, so it'll be Sainz' first car, five seconds.

Can I open my next lap? 3. Yeah, we can do that. Sainz now at 2 seconds on a lap.

Sainz is through. It's Perez at 8 seconds.

After Checo. Then it's Sargeant at 6 behind him, so Perez now at 2.

So, Sargeant at 5.

Four. Three.

2 and then it's Ocon now at 3.

Two seconds to Ocon. This will be clear in sector 3. And then it's Norris at 7 seconds.

So set your B-Bal. Now we can go to strat 2. Next lap, Norris at 4.

Leclerc at 8.

Both on the left are raining.

Leclerc out of 5. So box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.

Straight out. Track is clear.

So, all clear sector 3.

That will be strat 2. Good to go.

OK, so strat 1.

Still a lot of freewheeling into 5.

So we want to target minus 11 from here, Piastri behind on outlap and then Albon behind him on a cool lap, so clear behind.

Sector 3 looks good.

Just let me know if you think you need another call for these temps. Slope.

So track is clear ahead and it will be strat 2. Good to go.

Strat 1.

Zhou, first car on lap at 4.

Three seconds, Zhou. Two.

Hope on outlap. Sergeant just completed a lap behind him.

So we're going to target minus 15 from here. Now I'd advise you do a double cool or pass through the pitlane if you want.

Turn 5 does not seem to have been improved. Where are we losing the most time?

Turn 10 braking.

And then Norris at 5. On a lap. Now 4, 3, 2. It's clear behind Norris.

And then other loss is turn 16, mid to exit.

I'm happy to stay on track or happy to go through the pits, you let me know. I think we've got a fairly decent track position here. Copy, stay on track then.

Sergeant car behind, just opening his lap for four seconds.

2.5, 2 to Sargeant and then it's 11 behind him.

So Alonso next car on a lap at 11. Also see loss exit turn 8.

5 now to Alonso.

3... 2... We've got two or three cars now in sector 3. Next car, Leclerc, six seconds on a lap. Sector 3 is starting to clear. It's just Sainz that's going quite slowly. So set your B-Bal. Leclerc's backed off his Albon now at 3... 2... 1...

And Sainz is still going very slowly at 19.

Lewis, on a lap at 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

So, Strat 1. First car on the lap will be Sargeant at 5 seconds. 4 seconds.

Sergeant at 2 on a lap.

Sainz car behind on a lap and the next car is Alonso at 6.

Five to a lot, so four.

2 to Alonso and then it's 5 seconds to Albon on a lap.

Four and a half to add one.

There'll be two cars here in sector 3. Albon at 3.5, 3, 2 seconds and clear behind Albon.

Still clear behind, just Leclerc at turn 19, about to go, and it will be strat 2 if you want to go next lap.

So if we go for another call here, we'll try and target minus 10. Just look out for Lewis starting his lap behind.

So Leclerc at four on a lap. Now three, two to Leclerc and it's four and a half behind two Alonso on a lap.

Two seconds to Alonso.

And then it's Sainz at 10 seconds on a lap.

4-3.

Two. One. And then you've got Magnussen at 8.

I have to set up 5, 4, 3, 2, so clear behind and it's looking good in sector 3. Just Leclerc we'll be waiting for.

Car behind is Ricciardo at 14 on a lap. So Leclerc has pitted, so it should be good to go to 3. Set your B-Bal.

OK, so strat 1.

Tsunoda car behind four seconds. Trust me. Tsunoda, four seconds, now three.

2. It's showing slippery surface here. Turn 3. 2 seconds to Tsunoda.

Got that traffic. End of lap. Verstappen has just done an 11.6. Leclerc currently P1 on an 11.4.

Yeah, it does look like it's a lap one tyre, but I think people are just finding time with traffic and making small improvements. You've got just under three minutes of the session remaining.

Is there anyone pushing behind? Negative. Are we still showing that slippery surface at turn 3?

So just stroll car ahead waiting to go.

And still slippery surface turn 3.

Okay, so clear behind.

We've got a minute and 15 seconds before the flag.

So Ricciardo at 6 on the lap.

Strat 1. Cool the car. Going round for a start on the grid.

So I'll be coasting down from turn 13.

Burnouts. Two burnouts if we can. Four attempts. 1.14, so it's two hot. I'll be left-hand side. I'm 1.15 now.

So no set B-Bal. It'll be Strat 5, pushing to turn 4.

Clutch was deep.

So box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.
