60 seconds to green light.

I've not managed to do any burnouts, so I think we just go straight out. Copy that.

20 seconds.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So, we'll go strat 13.

Fuck, I've put down our chips!

And Lewis, lap one was a 21.2.

Lewis, 19.9.

We've got Zhou on turn 2. He's gone backwards into the barriers. There's a yellow flag there. In that case, it does go red.

Red flag, red flag. Box, box. Go strap 1. Let's get brake pads in. It's a big braking.

So, just stop on the marks and switch off.

So, 35 seconds to green light.

Now we can go straight out into Strat 13.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Ahead of Albon is a five and a half second gap to Leclerc.

Snatching the front quite consistently into 10.

George, we're seeing abrasion on the rear left inside shoulder. Think about that. Gap behind P3. 3.5 to Lewis.

No transcript available

Last lap. 7.5 behind Lewis.

So if we keep pushing here, we'll come through the pitlane.

So I recommend a beaming 3 in turn 10.

I'm blocking front tyre, you reckon about that?

No transcript available

E-B or B-Bank, sorry.

I'll get back to you on that turn 10.

Front left is open and up.

Lewis, last lap was a 17.9.

Lewis, last lap, 17.5.

Our main time delta currently turn one entry.

I'm having a box here, if you are. Tyres open up. Yeah, do you think you could get to a 17.0? Nope. Got Ricky Aldo five and a half behind on a lap.

So, box, box, practice, pit, stop and switch off. Ricciardo at 3 seconds on the lap.

Good on the marks. Good speed in.

Straight out. Verstappen car ahead on continuous laps. You've got Magnussen eight seconds behind, also on high gear. He's still got five and a half seconds behind to Magnussen, dropping two.

B-Bal offset plus one.

And next lap will be Strat 2.

No transcript available

Follow up for rope shift.

OK, so Strat 1. We'll go for a single call here. We're going to target minus 10 on your dash. Magnussen car behind 5 seconds. Still on those consecutive laps.

And then two seconds behind Magnussen is Sainz also on, sorry, on low fuel. So Sainz on low fuel now. Two seconds.

And he's backed off.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Next car on the lap, Perez, at 7 seconds. He's on consecutive laps still. And after Perez, port gap. Can we get in too?

Stroll, then, five seconds behind him.

What's Stroll doing? Low fuel, we think.

Three seconds left to stroll. Okay, now we think high fuel.

And then you've got Hulk on high fuel. I need a gap here, mate. Two and a half. I've got Hulk. There's a big gap behind Hulk. Seven seconds to Hulk. Sorry, to Ocon. He's also on high fuel.

That will be Strat 2 next lap. Good to go.

Strat 1. Single cool again. Ocon four seconds behind our consecutives.

I'm going to try to target minus 10 on the dash. We've got Piastri five seconds behind. He's just completed a fast lap, so he should be backed off.

So, main lap time loss is braking entry turn 1.

And Norris on my fuel first cast. 7 seconds.

Sorry, Norris is on a lap lap. Four seconds.

3, behind him, 4 seconds to a long so, 4.1 on that.

Alonso 5, Alonso high fuel.

And then behind that it's four seconds to Gasly, also on fuel.

Two on fuel and then you've got a gap behind Gasly to Verstappen. Six seconds. Verstappen also on high fuel. He's on low fuel or high? High fuel.

So, Verstappen is far behind on... Yeah, you can go again. Verstappen on high fuel. Behind him, three seconds to Leclerc. He's backed off. Now it's Piastri, three seconds, who's on a lap. Piastri, two and a half. Two to Piastri.

Okay, cars behind are in sync until Magnussen. Four seconds.

Doing consecutive laps. Two and a half. Two.

So, Albon, first car, eight seconds.

It feels like the wind has picked up here in the pitlane.

Strat 2. Good to go.

Bye folks.

Is anyone approving on lap 2-3? Lap 3 final lap. OK, I see him.

And then we've got Stroll on high fuel at 3 and then Lewis two and a half behind him. I think Lewis has just backed off though.

Yeah, we've got a couple. Piastri, both Williams, Sainz.

Sainz, third push. Sorry, second push. And you've got Hulk two seconds on a lap with Valtteri one and a half behind him.

Pitlane to box.

Good on the marks and good speed in.

Okay, straight out.

Track is clear. Just confirmation that Lewis is using all of the turn record.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Strat 2, next lap.

Strat 1. We'll go double cool.

Copy. Yeah, I lost a lot of time there. Pretty poor effort. Yeah, I saw that.

Yeah, copy. So, we'll reset these casing temps. So, minus 15 and just Lewis on outlap behind. We'll just concentrate on surface temps, keeping those up.

Again, it did feel like the wind was picking up quite a bit on that lap.

I've got a yellow flag, turn 1-2.

Valtteri Carvajal on out lap, so he expects me to go next lap. And then four and a half behind him to Sargent, who's just about to complete a lap.

Lebanon Catons from here. Yeah, minus 10 from here. Got Ocon on outlap behind. And then Tsunoda on a lap. Five seconds to Tsunoda who's pushing. Four. Three seconds to Tsunoda.

He's backed off now.

So, Ricciardo on a lap at six seconds.

Ricciardo at 5. We'll just start building those surface temps now. Four seconds to Ricciardo.

Reset B-Bal. Strat 2.

Disconnected. Copy.

And then Alonso at 6 on a lap.

I will target minus seven. Nail casing. Flaps three.

And then next car, Sargeant at 5.

3 to Sargeant.

The radio is only in sector 1 here, guys. Just slide in 1, 2, 3, 4. Let me know what you think of the surface temperature. Or if bulk is too hot.

Yeah, it looks like the surfaces are way too cold here. Everyone behind are slow laps.

I'll take the 1-0 bit better. Yeah, 8-0. I mean, I'm just confident in the skills that I have.

How are we on timing?

Yeah, yeah, we can do that. That's fine.

I'm a sucker. I've made that ball up.

Yeah, yeah.

Just keeping an eye on Alonso. Three seconds behind the start of this lap.

Two too long, so I'm going to be left behind here for a bit. Piastri coming in 5 seconds.

So Piastri has backed off.

I've got six to Ricciardo on a lap. Four seconds to Ricciardo.

Three, two, thank you.

Clear off to Ricciardo.

I've got Tsunoda on a lap at seven seconds.

So they're gonna laugh at me. Bye.

Clear behind Tsunoda. Couple of cars here bunching final corner. Push through.

And then it will be Strat 2. Good to go.

OK, so strap on.

So we've got just under two minutes of the session left, so we'll stay out to take the chequered flag and do those starts on this time.

The tyre aspect looks good. Would you be happy for me to go again? Or are we out of time? Yeah, I'm happy for us to start another one. Norris at 4 and he's backed off. So it'll be Verstappen first car on a lap. He's at 5-4.

Three seconds to Verstappen.

And then it's Lewis at 6 seconds. Lewis is on a lap. 4, 3, 2 seconds.

And then it's clear to Valtteri. 11 seconds.

So we've got a one-minute position left.

So, reset B-Bal.

30 seconds remaining and it will be start 2. What the hell is Ocon doing? He's completely dependent. Halfway down the straight. 2.

Power of the car at sector 3.

No transcript available

So we need to come around and take the flag. We need to stop Magnussen overtaking us, because he has taken the chequered flag. Magnussen at three seconds, so we do need to push and stay ahead of Magnussen, otherwise we won't get our start.

So he's taken the flag, so now we need to push and get back ahead of him.

So, you need to get ahead of Magnussen, otherwise we all need to box.

Let me know when you want to be on tyres.

And so where you currently are is good.

So it will be coasting from turn 12.

And we'll have three burnouts, starting on the left-hand side.

And Strat 13.

Clutch on target.

And we'll just need to build the gap here to Lewis, so we get our practice pitstop in. Ah, that only needs another 15 seconds.

Just in another couple of seconds.

Lewis is in the pitlane now. Should be good.

Now, box, box, practice pitstop and switch off.
