Green light.

And radio check. Olli, radio check.

That's good for B2.

GX3, please. GX3.

So we need to drop back from Russell. He is about two seconds ahead of you. Hamilton seven seconds behind.

Mode K2 plus, please. Mode K2 plus.

Focus on your brake temperatures and tyre temperatures.

Hamilton five seconds behind, Russell two and a half seconds ahead.

We're looking for a five-second gap ahead, so doubling the gap to the car ahead.

Okay, being out front makes it easy, so mode push, good to go.

However, if traffic, I will slow down to start the next lap. No problem, no problem. Hamilton three seconds behind time lap.

Yellow, turn 10, 11. Double yellow, double yellow. We don't know why.

I suggest passing Piastri if you have the opportunity. Then you'll have clear track ahead.

Diff 22 when possible. Diff 22.

We will do another time-lap only, so keep pushing into the next lap.

Okay, mode in. Mode in. Box this lap. Piastri right behind you. And please, could we have a CSL6. That's CSL6. Exit turn 5. So that's turn 5 to turn 6, please. That's 200 kph.

Try and stay offline behind Piastri if possible.

Got Tsunoda in the gravel at the exit outside of turn 7. Red flag, red flag. Boxing this lap. No overtaking.

Okay, link confirming we are boxing. Copy, Bob.

Okay, Ali, so stopping on the marks. I'd like you to do a pre-start revs check, so as though you're going to do a launch and then back off and go to P1.

Sorry, my mistake. Caught you too late.

That was my fault. That's OK, no worries. The crampon box is a bit more intense. Yeah, no worries.

Normally you guys are at the end of the pitlane, so...

Sorry, Oli, I missed what you said there.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8. Just watch out for Norris starting a time lap. Four seconds behind you. Three and a half seconds. Three seconds Norris time lap. Still three seconds Norris. Two and a half seconds. Two seconds Norris time lap.

Still two seconds Norris. One second Norris time lap. OK, no other threats. All the cars behind you are on slow laps. So we've got Albon on a time lap 13 seconds behind. So just concentrate on your tyre and brake temperatures. Albon still 11 seconds behind on his time lap. Brake temperatures look good. DRS is working. We'll be using that on the next lap. Albon still 10 seconds behind. Might be a bit of a queue ahead of you. You need to slow down to make a gap. So let's go mode push. And you're good to go. Good to go. Go, go, go. Go, go, go. Go, go, go.

B-Bal offset plus one.

DRS for a mic check.

Charge off for cool-down lap. Duen starting a timed lap three seconds behind. Watch out for Duen, two seconds.

One and a half seconds. One second. Coming past.

Next car, Stroll, on a slow lap. He's six seconds behind.

No threats behind.

Brake temperature reminder. Albon time-lap 3 seconds behind. Albon 3 seconds time-lap, 2 seconds time-lap, 1 second time-lap coming past. No other threats at the moment.

We're going for another put-up, no? We are, but we're debating whether we can go straight into another time-lap because the track temperatures are low.

Yeah, we can do that.

Lewis Hamilton, three seconds behind time-lap. You're in a good position to go for a time-lap on the next lap, so load, push, good to go.

Charge on. No threats behind. We will definitely do double cool-down. The tyres were too hot for that lap.

Stroll has just completed a time lap, five seconds behind. He's on the slow lap now.

So we've both made every way of an improvement on that lap, only apart from turn 7.

Yeah, I was a bit deep at 6. Copy that. So, Albon time lap 10 seconds behind.

Albon, six seconds time lap. Five seconds time lap.

Four seconds time-lap. Three seconds time-lap. Two seconds time-lap. One second coming past.

So then we've got Bottas on an outlap, so he's going to be pushing a bit harder. He's three seconds behind.

I'll just let Bottas go, he's two seconds behind.

One second behind Bottas on an outlap.

Bottas coming past. Next car on a time-lap is 13 seconds behind. Confirming we're definitely going into another cool-down lap.

Still no threats behind.

Suggest trying DIF 21 for generally reduced understeer and also use of FUNC 2 in turns 10-14. That's Colopinto completing a time lap behind you. He's on a slow lap now. Alonso starting a time lap. No, he's completed a time lap four seconds behind, so no threats.

Stroll time lap six seconds behind.

Stroll for 5 seconds, tight lap.

Stroll four seconds, three and a half seconds.

Stroll two seconds. Timed lap.

Brake temps are good, Olli.

Compared to Bottas, just slightly lower apex speed, Ollie.

That's 10-3-3. Sorry, 10-3-3.

Just need to make a gap to the car ahead. She's currently three seconds ahead. We're looking for at least five.

No threats behind us.

So let's go mode push. That car is boxed, so you are good to go. Good to go.

Carly, mode in please. Moded. We'll box this lap.

Bottas starting a time lap. He's five seconds behind. Please could we have a CSL6 after turn 5? Bottas still five seconds behind time lap.

Bottas, four seconds time-lap. Three seconds time-lap.

Two and a half seconds time lap. One second time lap coming past. Turn 15 much better on that lap, Oli.

Yeah, now I just need another set of soft tyres. Yeah, sure.

Next car on the time-lapse is Verstappen. He's 15 seconds behind.

Can we have mode in, please, instead of mode charge? Slightly different function.

OK, Oli, so stopping on the marks, we'll have that pre-start revs check and then P1, please.

And you were 50 short there, Ollie. 50 short. Copy.

We go straight on and we push. That's correct, yes. So effectively, you're pushing straight away. So pushing on the outlap. If there's a car coming up fast behind you, I'll just let you know. Obviously, feel free to let it through. But basically, you're racing from the pit exit.

And just a reminder for no DRS until the last time lap when I'll tell you. Yeah, copy for that. Track is clear behind. Thanks for watching.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

I've got a yellow flag at turn 4.

Track is clear.

Tyre management is good, Oli. You've got six more time laps.

Watch out for Piastri going slowly just before the pit entry. I think he's actually in the pit entry now.

5-4 laps.

Macaulay, we'd like you to push a bit harder through turn 15 if the performance is available.

Three more tight laps.

McAuley, no more tyre management required. Happy to push the final two laps.

Last timed lap. Use DRS please. Use DRS.

That's the chequered flag, so mode slow, please, mode slow. And we'd like a CSL6 after turn 5, please.

Gap ahead is good for the CSL. Watch out for Nico, obviously taking the chequered flag, but he's catching up behind you. Just two and a half seconds.

CSO6, did you say? Yes, please.

Got it. Perfect, thank you.

Okay, so you're coming round to do a start from the grid.

So we'd like you to do a start from the left-hand side of the grid, as far forward as you can. Remember not to do your start until the cars ahead have done theirs. As you're approaching the grid spot, we'd like two burnouts, please. Two burnouts before you stop on that position. Burnout's in mode slow, I guess. That's in mode slow. And then after you stop, go to mode RS for the start. And when you've done the start, I'd like you to push to turn 6, assuming that it's safe to do so.

So, left-hand side, two burnouts and then a mode RS start.

Okay, so mode in and box this lap please.

Duin's three and a half seconds behind you, also in lap obviously.

So, opportunity to practice your pitstop entry if it's clear ahead.

Then you'll be stopping on the marks. The guys will do a practice tyre change and then go to P1, please.

Watch your stopping position.

Yeah, that whole start thing was a bit messy, Sergio.

No worries. We'll be working on that.

Happy to have thoughts from you now, or you can hop out and just tell us in the office, don't mind us.

So, let's come back to...
