10:31:27

OK, radio check on the inside of turn 1. Yep, radio check. Yep, loud and clear.

10:31:37

So, Lando is 25 seconds ahead. This is obviously the harder tyre that we'll have for the race, so no pushing.

10:32:35

OK, we've boxed this lap.

10:32:41

Copy, box.

10:32:53

Oscar, this is a pitstop for the medium. Pull away. No launch. Keep the launch map off. Do not use pre-launch revs without the launch map.

10:34:33

Box this lap. Box this lap.

10:34:37

Gap in focus.

10:34:54

10:52:22

The ride doesn't feel much better than yesterday's in P2. Understood. Is that low speed?

10:52:35

10:53:03

Lance Leclerc is ahead, Carlos behind are in phase.

10:57:46

Okay, what you're doing is good avoid full load to cool the car. There is now an 11 second gap behind to Perez.

10:58:28

Albon, 4. Oscar, we think we need another cool-down lap to recover the PU temperatures before we push.

10:58:39

Copy.

10:58:47

Clear behind. Temperatures are OK. You can push this lap. Cars behind are in phase. First car pushing Verstappen. 23 seconds.

11:00:23

11:00:46

Ricciardo, 4.

11:01:04

Okay, after Ricciardo, next car pushing is Albon. He's 16 seconds.

11:01:49

11:18:55

And Hulkenberg is three seconds behind Zhou.

11:19:08

Turn 5. Track is clear ahead.

11:20:37

Okay, Gasly six seconds behind. Oscar's suggestion, do you want to try one more lap with more flap in the car? We can check the front right as well in the stop.

11:21:44

Okay, so box this lap. Box this lap.

11:22:04

Oscar Kelly. Launch map on. Launch map on. Conservative drop launch from the box when it's time. Take that from the mechanics.

11:22:45

North map.

11:23:15

Correction, Stroll pushing 5.

11:23:35

After Stroll, the next car is Hamilton, 7th.

11:23:59

Hamilton three. He's plus five on his delta, so just to let him through. And the next car is Alonso. Alonso's five.

11:24:14

After Alonso, Sainz is 10 seconds behind Alonso. One more lap. If it's not coming together, we can abort and box. I'll leave that with you.

11:25:49

That's P2. We've boxed this lap. Track slippery. Turn 3-4. Take care through there. You've got a 12 second gap behind so you can afford to go slow. Just watch for any debris.

11:26:12

First car pushing is Hamilton, 13.

11:26:49

Somebody has taken the flag this lap. Negative, we have boxed this lap. Boxed this lap. Still three and a half minutes in session. Hulkenberg, 3.

11:30:51

Perez 2. Next car is Ocon, 7 seconds behind him.

11:31:16

OK, you'll take the chequered flag this time. You need a full cool-down lap avoiding full load to cool the car for the launch. And white H14, position 1. White H14, position 1.

11:32:36

Okay, launch instructions. Switches are good. It'll be no bike point find, one long burnout and then the launch on the right-hand side, conservative drop.

11:32:49

Copy.

11:33:08

Oscar, conservative drop 2% shallow, please. Conservative drop 2% shallow.
