So, we can build a bit of a gap at pit exit. Still all clear. First car Sargeant just at turn 8 now. So, build a bit of a gap. Put the safety car 2.

So Ricciardo is one ahead. Now two ahead. Ricciardo three ahead, four ahead. That's not too bad. So we use energy and DRS exit 5.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So we can use energy and DRS again where possible. So using energy now.

Tyres still on the low side, but can use DRS. Still a few cars to go, so there will be some queuing at 16.

So it looks like still four to go. Maybe you can cross the safety car line then build a bit of a gap from there. Cars behind are all out lap.

So, first car pushing Tsunoda, but he's only turned 10, so we should be OK.

So we've got three cars behind our outlap, so we can try and stay ahead.

So Gasly is two ahead. OK, that's Hulkenberg. Let's let him go. It's OK. Got plenty of space behind. Hulkenberg 3. Hulkenberg 4. So we can go.

OK, let's take a call at that. So, run switch call K0. Verstappen may be in sync behind us. Watch out for him, though. He's two back, so he may still be pushing Verstappen.

Someone's just left the pitlane next to you. I think that's Magnussen. And then you've got Hulkenberg possibly pushing in 3. So Hulkenberg in 2. Watch out for Hulkenberg. Just with Verstappen now.

Tyres are already on the hotter side, so we can take plenty of 10-pound lengths. Let's get some full pedal down the straights, but then slow in the corners.

So next car pushing is Perez in 8.

So be nice and slow in turn 9. You've got Perez pushing in 5.

Perez pushing in 4.

Let's try and get one good stop once before the start of the lap. You've got Tsunoda pushing in 10. There's still a few cars to go ahead, so we might have to keep an eye out for Tsunoda. We would like to try 5th gear in turn 6. You've got Tsunoda pushing in 4. Tsunoda in 3. Tsunoda in 2.

And the next one is Sargeant pushing in 12.

So it's two cars to go ahead, Piastri and Gasly. You've got Sargeant in 5, Sargeant in 4, Sargeant in 3, Sargeant in 2, and then we can go. You've got Bottas in 3, Bottas in 2.

Run, switch, cool, K0. Let's take all the temp out of the tyre we can. Maximum cool. You'll have Perez pushing an 8.

So next cars are Norris, Hamilton, Sargeant. They're all opening laps now. Norris will be first one at 15.

So you'll have Norris in 8 pushing. He's on his own. Norris in 7.

So, main loss, Lance, was just min speed turn 15. Min speed turn 15. I think that's just on brake pressure. You've got Tsunoda pushing in 6. Tsunoda in 4. Tsunoda in 3.

And then Bottas in 6, Bottas in 5, and 4, and 3, and 2.

So let's perhaps do one more lap on this tyre. I don't think there'll be a queue ahead. Two cars behind on slow lap, so it's just go one when you're ready. Let's get a good stop before 16.

Okay, so get the switch cool. You have Magnussen opening lap 4 behind. We'll look to box this lap, Lance, just to get on with the programme. You've got Magnussen pushing in 3.

Magnussen in 2. Norris is 6 behind Magnussen.

So next one is Norris at 6 and 5.

So Norris has aborted, so the next one is Gasly, who is nine back.

So, Norris might be pushing on the way in, so he's coming past you now. You've got Gasly pushing in 4, Gasly in 3, Gasly in 2. It's clear behind him.

Next one pushing, so Russell's out lap, next one's Tsunoda in 11, so we'll box this lap.

Okay, so straight out, it's clear at pit exits.

So it'll be DRS and energy into turn 6.

So it's nice and slow through turn 9. It's slower than he did in FP1. Nice and steady through turn 9. Still all clear behind. You've got Gasly on a cool lap, 18 back.

OK, then. Turns 10 to 14. That's the same as FP1. So what you did in P1 was good.

It'll be DRS into turn 15 and they're nice and slow through 15 as well. Nice and steady through 15. Got some cars leaving the pitlane now so there might be a little bit of traffic on the lap but it shouldn't be too bad. There's not many cars. So Gasly 10 back on a cool. There's no gap ahead. There's no traffic ahead. Let's just go on at 16. Let's get a good stop.

Run switch 4K-0. You've got Leclerc pushing 2 back.

There will be some cars pushing this lap. We've got Leclerc with you now. And the next one is Hulkenberg in 6. Hulkenberg pushing in 6.

There's a Hulkenberg with me now and then it's Bottas in 5.

Zhou is 5 behind him, so Bottas in 4, Bottas in 3.

The next one is Zhou in 4, Zhou in 3, pushing Zhou in 2.

Next car back is Sargeant, but he's on a call. He's in sync with you. I think it'll be a double call, Lance. I think it'll be a double call.

Yeah, the tyres are done but we can try one more. Copy, OK. Let's focus on getting the temp out then. All the temp out we can, so nice and slow. Rear left is hot in particular.

So Piastri pushing in 7, Piastri in 5 pushing, Piastri in 4, 3.

Perez is outlap. He's two back. Perez with me now. Verstappen pushing 5. Verstappen in 3 pushing.

At 2, at 1.

So next one is Tsunoda in 11, Tsunoda in 10.

So it's turn 15, mid-speed, just looking at crosscars. I know, I had traffic. Yeah, OK, so you've got Tsunoda in 3, Tsunoda in 2.

Let's just try and get one more brake before the lap. We're doing double cool now.

Apologies, yeah, let's go round again. I think it's better, yeah. So, I think you're all in sync with the cars behind us. We've got Hamilton outlapped behind, so he may be pushing.

So, Hamilton in 4, he'll be pushing.

Hamilton in 2, Hamilton in 1, and then it will be Norris in 7.

So Norris in 4th and 3rd.

So it's all clear behind for now. Attempts are coming down. It is still the rear left slightly, but they are coming down.

OK, so we'll need a good stop into 15 and 16. We're happy to go with this lap. So you've got Ocon and Outlap 10 back, so that's all OK. You've got Tsunoda still yet to go ahead.

Tsunoda potentially double-cool. We'll have to see about him.

So we might need to build a gap to him once you get at the safety car line. OK, so we think Tsunoda's double-caught, so from our side we're happy to go.

So let's just go on. When you're ready, you've got signs behind outlap.

OK, so let's get run switch cool, K0. We'll look to box this lap.

Good improvement at the end of the lap there.

So it's all clear behind Lance, throughout behind the call. It's all clear behind.

Can't answer the box in this lap, it's still all clear behind.

So it's all clear at pit exit.

Let's do brake balance plus four. Brake balance plus four.

OK, we can just crack on with the runland, so we should get about 11 time from here.

And Lance, this is a good gap on track as well. This is a good gap for us.

So, Lance, we need a larger lift in turn 1. Where you are now, larger lift turn 1.

Possible rain in around five time laps.

Let's try and manage more to 1.9. A bit more management at high speed.

A bit more lift than coast if you can as well.

There will be another seven timed laps. We do expect rain in two or three laps. It will be light to start.

Let's get brake balance plus two. Brake balance plus two.

So, Lance, we expect rain to start in the next lap or two and it'll be from turn 15, so where you are. It'll come from turn 15 first.

So there are some reports of rain. It will be sector 3. Sector 3 first.

Yeah, it's raining. It's really raining.

OK, so no risk. You've got Gasly free back. We're happy to box this lap if you need. Just get some cooling if you're going to box Gasly free back.

It's really heavy in the pitlane. We're happy to box. Let's not take any risk.

So just steady on the way in. Lance might be slipping in the pitlane.

Yep. Can you hear me?

Standby, Lance. Two seconds, I'll come back to you.

OK, so there's around four minutes to the session left. We'll come back for your high fuel comments in a second. I think you may still be transmitting just because we've got some power issues in the garage. So I'm just giving you a heads up of the plan. We're just going to fit an inter tyre and if it's wet enough we'll go and take the grid start, OK? So we'll take your high fuel comments later. Just preparing for an inter, for a possible grid start now.

Yeah. Yeah, loads of deg. Sorry, that's just your transmitting, I'm afraid, at the minute, because there's some power issues in the garage. So, if we can take your comments later in the office. Yeah, yeah. Cool, cheers.

Joel from Jack Pit 2, the racks are down as well. We'd like to avoid an accelerator.

OK, Lance, there's a lack of rain and we're running out of time, so we've got some parishes as well, so you can hop out. That's the end of the session. We'll take your comments in the office. Thanks, mate.
