Radio check. Yep, all good. Yep, loud and clear.

The first pushing cars are 35 seconds behind.

K3, GX3, K2 plus, GX3, G2 plus.

First, I'm pushing a Tsunoda at 27 behind me.

There's loads of cars ahead, unfortunately. If you think you need a bit of a push, you can go to stock 2, otherwise you can stay stock 1. Tsunoda, 23.5, first pushing car. There's five cars ahead.

Check mode.

Stroll free behind Verstappen 7.

OK, that's Stroll. Verstappen 3 behind, Hamilton 9 behind.

Verstappen 1.5 behind.

Verstappen 0.9 behind, then Hamilton 6 behind.

Sox should be okay, so you can push. Hamilton four behind finishing a push. 3.5.

That's kind of a shitty track position, out of sync now with everyone. Yeah. Agree, sorry for the situation.

Do we need a double cool to go back in sync? I guess so, yeah, because these guys are all pushing now. So Sainz 5 behind on a push. So after Sainz goes past, just do like a medium pushing lap and then you'll be in sync with them. Because yeah, you've got Sainz, then Leclerc, then Perez, it's all pushing. Sainz now, Leclerc 8 behind.

Leclerc is 7 behind Zhou, 12 behind me. So medium pushing lap and then cool lap? Yeah, because you'll be in sync with Sainz, Leclerc and all these cars then. Yep, that's correct.

So, yeah, Sainz 2 ahead, Leclerc 5 behind, Zhou 10 behind.

Next lap will be a cool lap. Leclerc 4 pushing.

Leclerc 3, Zhou 8, pushing.

There's two cars that are going to be starting a lap ahead. Russell, Albon, Leclerc aborted. So next pushing is Zhou. So the next lap will be a back-off lap. Russell ahead starting a push. Zhou six behind finishing a push.

Okay, so this will be a back-off lap. You're in sync with people like Zhou behind.

Leclerc aborted very late. He may be trying to push again, but I'm not sure he can.

So now you're in sync with everyone except for Perez who's 40 behind, 30 behind.

There's three cars ahead. In-sync back-off lap with you. I watch in front. I don't see them. Eight seconds to Russell. Twelve seconds to Albon and Ocon together. First pushing behind is Perez. Eleven behind is the only pushing car. Perez is coming through a bunch of traffic now. Perez, eight behind. There's four cars ahead in the last corner. Perez, six, finishing a push. Go to Parc fermé.

Perez, four, three.

Perez 2.

Brakes are a little cold. Obviously, charge off mode push. We've got one or two ahead.

All good ahead.

Watch Russell be starting a push, Ricciardo finishing. Ricciardo's finishing, I think.

First pushing Sainz 11 behind.

Press oil pump button. Pump button first pushing. Sign 6 behind.

I'll go one more. The DX put too much there. Almost kicked me out. Copy that. Sainz 1 behind. Leclerc 8.

How's the balance in 7? Do you want any tool help for there?

Leclerc 3-2.

I have understeer picked up, but I don't DX.

Yeah, copy that. Yeah, we just saw the understeer in 7 was a lot, that's all. So, I don't know if anything would help you there. Diff 21 now. Yeah, copy. Piastri 6 behind pushing. Piastri 5.

Piastri, 3, 2, 1.

Next bushing is Kevin 8 behind, just Ricciardo on back off lap ahead. We're losing at turn 3.

Turn 3 apex speed. OK, Kevin, 4 behind pushing. Kevin, 3, 2, 1. After him, Gasly is 12 behind pushing, so you can go. What about Mercedes here? Mercedes is on outlap. OK, Norris, sorry, Norris is pushing 4 behind. Norris, 3, 2, 1, then Gasly, 5.

Gasly 3.

Charge on. Sainz four behind starting a push.

Signs 3, pushing.

2.5 2 1 After him, big gap.

Nico, we think the rain is going to come earlier in the session with around 10 minutes to go. We'll box anyway. We'll box now. See you soon.

50. Short on the marks.

First pushing is Stroll and he's the only pushing car behind. He's 23 behind. Got Leclerc out lap and a bunch of other cars on a back-off lap ahead.

Joe ahead is on a first back off. I guess he's going to do two.

Bottas and Sargeant are on back-off laps, so you can probably get around them too. Stroll, 10 behind pushing.

Stroll 8.

Stroll 5 pushing.

Stroll 3. He's the only pushing car. Stroll 2.

Stroll 2.

Stroll 1.

Use a little brake temp and then you're in sync with Alonso and Leclerc. Alonso's going slow, so I guess he's starting a lap.

Gear in sync with Leclerc. Remember, forward push.

Charge on. You're OK behind.

So you're in sync with those Bottas and Zhou behind. First pushing is Sargeant 38 behind. First lap was reasonably good.

So, um, Piastri did 26.9, Leclerc did 27.1, um, understeer at 7, you could just try left toggle maybe?

And then a couple of people, no one's done a double back off yet, but you can do what you want. Let me know what you're going to do. Sergeant is 10 behind pushing. Copy that. Sergeant is 10 behind pushing and then Perez 13. That's the only pushing cars. The clerk might push again, I don't know. Sergeant 5 behind pushing. Sergeant 3. 2. 1. And then after him is Perez. Perez finishing a lap. 2. Perez 1. That's the last one. I don't know, Joe might be pushing. No, he boxed.

First pushing car, Russell, nine behind. We suggest a half percent brake balance rearward.

Russell 7 pushing.

Russell, four, three, two, one.

2.5, 2, 1.

You can get some brake temp going again when you can.

Right now there's no one pushing behind. So you're in sync with Perez ahead. I don't know if he'll do double back off. He's on his first back off.

And then he has a huge gap to the next car anyway, so he should be okay ahead.

Albon behind is on an outlap going faster.

Okay, Albon Perez is 7 ahead. They're both... Albon may be high fuel, okay? So, we just make sure we have a good gap to him. He's 8 ahead right now.

Just get some brake temp. Albon is 10 ahead and Perez boxed. So you have an 11 second gap to Albon high fuel. Norris behind is on an outlap. Back off, he clear. All clear, all good.

OK, Ricciardo is finishing a push, six behind, so we can box now, Nico, box now.

Good on the marks.

Alonso, 5 ahead, high fuel, medium.

Spark 2. Spark 2.

We expect rain in around six laps.

Tyre managing is good. Just watch turn 7 exit. Wheel spin.

Use DRS next lap for one lap.

Pace is good, quicker than Ricciardo and lower deg than Piastri.

Trifunk 2 for turn 3-4. Rain in around 4 minutes.

We expect rain from the turn 15 direction. We're ready with an inter any time.

Try left toggle, turn 7.

OK, Nico, you can use the tyre next lap because rain's probably coming. Just see if there's anything left in it.

We can basically box. Tyres finished.

Nico, it would be putting on the hard now and then the inter-lap later. Just stay out, stay out. It's rain now at 15 here. Covenant, right. OK, box now, Nico, box now.

OK, we're just driving around to take the checker.

EC5, coming around to take the checker.

Checkered flag.

Okay, mode slow. One burnout. Practice start on the left-hand side. Mode RS, second gear.

Gap to Kevin is 6, so we'll open it up to 15 so we can do double stop.

Gap is 10.

Gap is 15.

Box now, Nico, box now. Practice pitstop.
