Okay, so Tsunoda in the last corner. He's starting a timed lap now, most likely. So we'll just need to let him through down to turn 1. Clear behind him.

We just need to sync gears and do a quick radio check as well.

Copy that, landing clear so far. Ok, that's good. So the car behind is Pierre, he's just leaving the pitlane now.

OK, so any car that might be an issue to us is Magnussen. He's just going into turn 1 now. He's sustainable running.

He's about 16 seconds behind.

Magnussen nine seconds behind sustainable running. Keep in front of him or make a gap.

OK, let's go. Brake three, clear track ahead. Magnussen four and a half behind.

Three seconds gap behind, we're good to go.

OK, recharge on. So next car coming through Magnussen. Sustainable running six seconds behind. And we go scenario 3, SOC 6 and focus on recharge. Scenario 3, SOC 6 and focus on

OK, Magnussen two seconds behind. Clear behind Magnussen.

OK, so next switch SOC 6, please.

And can we go PU13, position 2 please. PU13, position 2. Currently in 8th.

Perfect, thank you. OK, final one. Fail A-1-0. OK, to disable DRS tones, clear of traffic.

Ok, perfect. So car behind is Leclerc. 8 seconds. He is on a time lap.

Piers, first lap 14.6 for info, about a tenth slower. I'm going two sustainable laps without DRS please, and you can go now.

OK, one more lap. Keep pushing, please.

OK, recharge on and box please. Recharge on and box. Now we've got Albon behind just finishing a timed lap. We'll do our aero cruise after turn 9 if possible.

Clear of traffic behind.

OK mate, so it'll be aero P3 after turn 9.

I've got Norris 11 seconds behind on a time lap.

OK, mate. Thank you for that. Let's box now, please. Box now.

Turn in. Stop on the marks and switch off.

OK, we'll get some comments when you're back in the garage.

Just a reminder, this will be a fairly short turnaround. The guys will be pulling the headrest out straight away. Might as well do that first and then we'll take some comments.

Okay, so straight out please. We can go recharge off and begin pushing. We do have Stroll starting a time lap low fuel about five seconds behind. Happy to let him through. Stroll 3, 2, 1. Second for Stroll. And then clear.

We need to make a little more of a gap to Stroll, trying to get the three cyclists to back off by a couple.

OK, that's perfect.

Okay, so Russell behind sustainable running. I'll try and keep in front of him if we can. Two sustainable laps after this.

OK, two laps, no DRS.

Omola.

Yeah, clipping last corner was pretty big actually. Understood.

OK Esteban, so that's our last time. Have to keep pushing on the way in because we're going to drive through and do a start.

So, we've got Russell sustainable running behind four seconds and we've got Pierre starting a time lap about 15 seconds back, just to make sure we don't hold either of them up.

Plan now is to box and drive through to do a start at the end of the pitlane. I'd like a big lift into 10 please and a lift into the pitlane just to keep brake temperatures under control.

Russell 2.5 behind.

Okay, we are boxing now.

Okay, Esteban. Brake temp's all under control. Thank you for that. We are driving through to the end of the pitlane. We'd like one burnout and a start, please.

So, driving straight through. One burnout and a start.

Hamilton, sustainable running five seconds behind. I'd like to box now, please, and an aero cruise after turn 9 if we can, so aero P3 after turn 9.

I want five and a half behind sustainable. Aero P3.

Perfect, thank you. And box now.

This man will be doing a practice pitstop.

Ok mate, so no launch please, no launch, practice pitstop.

OK, so we'll get some comments and I'll explain the plan when we're plugged in. Copy.

OK, so that's straight out, please.

Fernando just leaving the pitlane in front on an out lap. Clear of traffic. Pit exit.

We'll have Perez starting a time lap now. He is about eight seconds behind.

Perez, time lap 4 seconds. He's the only car that's any traffic at the moment. 1.5

Clear behind.

Hamilton and Fernando, slow laps at turn 5, outlaps even.

Next car pushing behind is Tsunoda. Should be the only car that's any risk to us at the moment. He's about 12 seconds behind on a timed.

Only two cars to go in front, Fernando and Hamilton.

Tsunoda seven seconds behind.

Tsunoda, five and a half seconds. Just Hamilton to go in front. Tsunoda, four. Three and a half. Three seconds for Tsunoda. Clear behind Tsunoda.

OK, recharge on.

OK, so we are going into a double cool and we're going to drive through the pitlane as well. All cars behind slow laps at the moment. Yeah, no grip wasn't good and picked up a lot of understeer mid-corner. 9... 4...

First traction was poor.

OK, so Perez just finished his first lap. He did a 13.96, so 100th down on your time.

Yeah, what is he complaining about? Because I was quite a lot worse than run 1. Yeah, understood. I'll find out. Esteban, would you like a flap adjust for the next lap? Yeah, I think so. How much would you like, please? I'll try a turn. Understood.

Okay, so we're going to box now. I'm going to do a flap adjust and then go back out. I'll go one turn up both sides.

For info, Pierre complaining of similar things. Lots of understeer, poor grip.

OK, box now please for a proper adjust.

OK, so stop on the marks, flap adjust and then go on the lights.

Right side please.

You'll be clear pit exit. Pierre just leaving the last corner now, seven seconds behind. We've got a couple of switch changes to make scenario 8, please. Scenario 8.

And then socket 6 as well please, socket 6.

Final switch, PU13 position 2. PU13 position 2 and then we're good to go.

OK, perfect, thank you.

OK, so on margin here, we're looking like about 30 seconds roughly to the flag, so we've got plenty of time.

At that pace? Yeah, this at the moment is fine. Cars behind all on outlaps. Do have Tsunoda on a timed about 12 seconds behind.

What I don't know, Esteban, is that all these cars aren't doing high fuel, so...

Okay, Tsunoda, five seconds timed. Need to let him through please. Two and a half now.

Okay, so we've got cars leaving the pitlane now, likely high fuel, so this might be tricky with traffic.

When you brake, three please. So about 30 seconds margin.

No traffic behind.

I'll give the signs to go.

We charge off good to go.

Okay, so that is the chequered flag. Okay, so we're going to cool the car and go to the grid to do a start, please.

OK, so we just need scenario 1 and then we can put switches.

Yeah, copy. The stability in 3 and 1 and 7 is not the best also.

Do you understand me? Corner was better with the flap. Ok, I understood.

Have a good look through the data when we're in, decide where we go from here. OK, well I managed that session. A few procedures and things to do as well, so quite a busy one, thank you for that. So we're going to the grid and we'll do a start on the left-hand side. And we'll be pushing to pit entry once again. I'll let you know about burnouts when we're there.

A few cars look like they might be trying to keep their pace up just at the end of this lap behind you.

Probably have a cleaner run if we stay in front of them now. We don't need to push completely, no? We'd like to push to pit entry, so cleaner run you get to the start, the better. Again, yeah? Yes, please.

OK, so start on the left please. Just one burnout and then pushing to pit entry.

Box now. Practice pitstop.

Box, box, practice pitstop.

Okay, no launch, Esteban, no launch.

I'm just going to do a pitstop with Pierre. I'll be back with you in a second.

OK, so we'll get some comments when you're plugged in in the garage. Just a couple of things to run through before you jump out as well.
