OK, Daniel. First car, Alonso, turn 13. I'll keep you posted on cars pushing. No concern on tyres, obviously. OK, position is good. Try to sync the gears before turn 5. I'll call you for the fail.

Alonso, exit last corner starting a push-up.

Alonso, 9 behind.

Fail 1. Fail. Fail 2. Fail. Alonso about it.

Hard to steer. Next gap, we're pushing this 15 behind.

And you have two cars close to each other ahead of you. Stroll, Hamilton.

OK, Perez aborted as well in turn 5.

We have four cars, last two corners.

We are good at the back at the moment. We are good. Next car pushing 19 away. Keep the position.

Okay, very high track temp, no concern. You can keep opening the gap where you are. Sainz pushing 10 away.

OK, bonjour, ciao.

Slant 7.

Signs 4.5.

OK, double cooldown. So it's currently one tenth ahead of Hamilton, a tenth and a half ahead of Yuki.

Offset 2 for the cooldown and we lost one tenth outlap launch and we lost another tenth straight line braking turn 1. But you were still ISO in sector 1, very strong in the rest of sector 1. So that was two tenths lost before that and then two tenths recovered turn 2, turn 4.

Leclerc pushing 8 NM.

Understood. The overall grip is still low. I know I was quite close to throttle.

Yes, and we have absolutely no concern on tyres, so we could open more, no problem with that.

I'm happy to go for a double cool down, Daniel. I think we need it. Yeah, double cool.

Our next one pushing Bottas is 20 behind.

On Daniel, push-throttle looks good for us before turn 12. We will do click-forward offset on top of it. Bottas pushing 11. Understood. Happy to stay out, Daniel? Yeah, I'll probably go... Oh, you want to come through the pitlane? Yeah, happy to stay out. Copy. No, it's OK. I think I'll go probably EB11 as well, just to help Riel. Copy. Bottas pushing 5. On next lap, we work on the brakes. Bottas pushing coming now. And we get ready for a constant speed exit turn 3. So, multi-pit 1.

That's currently P4 between the two marks. Same compound.

And we have Perez in turn 13. He may push next lap. Heads up.

OK, Perez is boxed. We are good.

Multi-B 1, constant speed 2, 200, 5th gear, please.

OK, no one pushing behind. You can open the gap more for the constant speed. Gasly closing a lap. Exit last corner.

Gasly, cool down in turn 1. We are still good on position.

Once we've done that constant speed, it's very important to start working on brakes.

Constant speed 2, multiple one, constant speed 2, 200, 5th gear where you are.

Okay, thank you. Back to position 1. Max Red is on soft. If you want to overtake him, to do your brakes, go for it.

No one pushing behind.

OK, I will try to maximise turn 12 braking, please. Really try to maximise turn 12 braking.

We do the braking in turn 12 and then offset 0. No one pushing behind.

On good braking, turn 12, please.

Compared to Gasly, it was just about a tenth in turn 4, only difference. Gasly is a tenth and a half ahead of us. But reminder, we lost a bit of time at Laplanche.

Offset zero. Charge off last corner.

On reminder before turn 12, push the golon, click forward offset.

Let's have a think about the program on balance now. We have Hamilton, close the time lap, cooling down behind you. Offset forward.

Hamilton improved. He did 20.5. Yuki, last lap was 21.0. On your lap was 20.9.

Maybe we come back, take some flap off. Quick turn around, we show you some data and we go again with the same tyre.

And I think, yeah, at least shape 4. Bottas pushing 5 behind. It will be a quick turnaround, Daniel, same as Qualy. We look at some data, we go again. Bottas 3 behind pushing.

Bottas coming now.

Box, box, box, box. Stop in front of the garage. Understood. I think shape 4 is default, unless, Patrick, you feel otherwise.

He's happy. Box, box.

OK, Daniel, so with the used tyres, happy to go a little bit down with the flaps now?

Yeah, yeah, even first lap, yeah, mostly rear limited. Copy that.

OK, we have Yuki on the line, closing a time lap. He may come in next lap. No problem if Yuki goes by. He's closing a time lap now.

Watch mirrors for Hamilton. Pushing, approaching turn 1. Hamilton 3. Hamilton 2. Pushing. Only car.

What the f...

No one else pushing behind at the moment. Next car is 15 away. I'll keep you posted. We have three cars ahead of you. Not sure if they are going for double cool.

We have one Mercedes coming through on cooldown. He may box this lap. I'll leave it to you. And again, no drama last corner if we can't push. Just make sure we maximise launch. Bottas pushing 4, only car pushing.

Bottas pushing 3.5. Coming now.

OK, on same again in turn 12 for your brakes, please.

No one pushing behind. Next car is 21 seconds away. We have three cars ahead. Not sure what they will do. Reminder, quit braking while you are. Super important. Maximise this one.

OK, you can take it easy. Take it easy.

Keep the position.

Offset 1 and remainder on toggle on offset 4 and 12. Charge your plus corner. Position is very good.

On Yuki improved a tenth and a half.

OK, then I'll double cool down. We are leaving a bit too much time on the table. Braking turn 1, braking turn 5, braking turn 12. So next lap we need to try to push us braking if we can. Balance, what do we need? Yeah, problem is, especially 5 and 12, the rear. If I brake hard there, I lose the rear. That's definitely what's holding me back. OK, copy that. We do see a lot more snap on the other car, so I think we have to bear in mind the track conditions. We'll have a look if we can do something better for us.

Offset 4-1 for the Kudlong please. Can I close the diff straight?

Stand by. No one pushing behind.

Multi B7. Diff position 7. Multi B7. Diff position 7.

Yep, perfect, thank you. Try to keep the brakes up where you can.

So your biggest loss was braking turn 1, one tenth, just on braking, the rest is ISO. On turn 12 was a tribunct, coming down.

Straight line braking, turn 12, one and a half tenths.

On Daniel, if we want, we can try the third toggle, turn 6, turn 12, to help those real limitations. On Yuki, improved, so I think the tyres still have a bit to come with the track evolution. It just did a 20.5, so it's two and a half tenths from your dash reference.

Basically the main difference, as we discussed, is one tenth in sector 1 and one and a half in sector 3. That's braking turn 1, braking turn 12. Next car pushing, Sargeant is 7 away.

On the pit of braking, where you can, especially turn 12. Sargeant pushing 4 away.

Sargent, one coming now. Next one, Perez is six behind. Perez, four behind, pushing. In terms of stability on rotation, we see more stability on our car. Perez, two behind, pushing.

So, at the moment, from data, we are happy to stay with the diff.

Piastri behind you is on cooldown. I'll let you deal with him. Next car pushing Leclerc 10 behind. We have one more push.

Reminder for turn 12 braking on the offset one.

Leclerc pushing 5.

Leclerc pushing 1.5.

OK, that's it. Let's try to maximise the last lap. Position is good.

Offset one, charge off last corner.

On reminder, we can do set the goal, turn 6, turn 12, to have your rear limited.

OK, box, box. And let's try to do a pit entry test, please. We won't need this tyre again until the long run.

So we can do charge off, exit turn 11.

A few people have gone to the soft, so it will be a quick turnaround and then we get ready for the next compound. So Daniel heads up. At the moment we do see a bit more understeer on our car, especially turn 1, turn 2.

So we have to think carefully how much we want to protect the rear, not to hurt a few places.

Other than those, I do feel real limits at everywhere else though.

OK, understood.

Box, box, box, box.

OK for charge off. Pit entry test. Box, box. Pit entry test. Stop on the marker.

OK, let's make sure gap has been exited, please.

OK, Norris last corner is going to start a push-up. Norris on the line starting a push-up. Norris coming by now. OK, that's it. Good job. Position is very, very good. We try to stay close to minimum time, please. When you can, strat 4 for performance. Currently in strat 3.

No-one pushing behind. Behind you is Leclerc, out lap as well. New tyre. On reminder of the braking, on minimum time.

Albon did a 19.8, Bottas 19.9.

On both Hascars, 20.3 on soft.

On Bottas ahead of you, he's on his second cool-down. I expect him to go again. Bottas five ahead, second cool-down.

Still no one pushing behind. Good braking turn 12.

OK, open where you are. Open where you are. On the bit of speed last corner. Offset one.

Charge of last corner. Reminder on toggles. Bottas 5, 5.5, 6. You're good.

Box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box, box

Two tenths sector 2. I do sector 3. Your lap time 96. Yuki 96. Alonso pushing 5 behind.

Alonso pushing 3 behind.

No-one else pushing. Braking turn 1 was better. But we carry a little bit too much entry speed. That's where we lost most of the time.

Yep, understood. I didn't feel I was running that late. I didn't feel my front was there yet. I didn't feel my front was there yet. Copy that, we see what we see in the data. Copy that, we have what we see in the data box. Gear down. Stop in front of the garage. Stop in front of the garage.

No one pushing behind. Box, box. It's a very quick turnaround. Look at some data and go again. People will start their long run soon. Box, box. Stop in front of the garage.

As Pierre said, we were carrying a bit too much entry speed into turn 1 and got the understeer on exit. And a similar thing is the case for turn 6, where we also come in a little bit too fast and we then are not able to go fully on throttle and we lose around a tenth on exit as well.

In terms of balance, does turn 1 and turn 2 feel understeer for you? Or is it good balance for these good corners?

Yeah, turn 1 definitely. That was definitely the most front limited I've had there. Front slip.

Do you still want Strat 4? Happy.

You can just go offset 3 again, please.

OK, track will be clear when you go out. We have Magnussen preparing in the last corner now.

Magnussen far behind pushing.

Magnussen, 4.

Magnussen 2. Pushing coming now.

Okay, we have two pushing seven behind us.

Zhou is straight behind, pushing.

Zone 2 behind pushing and then it's Gasly 7.

0-40. This guy is 0-40.

We have one car on high fuel after Gasly and then we're good. Gasly 3 behind pushing. Gasly coming now and then Hamilton high fuel 5 behind.

OK, so that's Hamilton 2 behind on high fuel and then we open a big gap to Hamilton. Other people will be on cool down when you get there.

Okay, pick up some speed for the braking. We have Stroll 3.5 behind, pushing, low fuel.

Stroll 1.5 pushing. He will be on cooldown and then keep the position to the Williams. He's boxing.

Offset one.

And you can push on tyres last corner. Charge off.

Box, box, box, box. OK, Daniel, we'll review this lap. We took a bit more margin braking turn 1, turn 2. Did you feel something with the car there?

No, nothing in particular, just there was a bit of turn 1 with a thick stroll, so I took some margin. Box, box.

We can push in the end lap, please. Push in the end lap.

Next car is 18 away. OK for charge off. Pit entry test. Box, box. Stop on the mark.

Stop on the mark on switch-off.

OK, just stand by, we'll plug the car, please, and we'll talk about the big picture. First push.

Daniel, let's go out in offset 1 and let's do the laps in offset 1.

Cleared for overtake. 1-0.

Mode 3 for the start. 50m off for the start.

We have Russell entry last corner.

OK, we have a pack of cars now in the last two corners. Watch your mirrors on the detectors.

OK, Russell, two behind. Everyone longer. If you can keep up the pace on the gap, you can do that. It's 2.5.

On Russell, on Piastri, doing mid 25 on medium.

Mode 6.

Albon, 1.8 ahead on soft is our race.

I have understeer at turn 5 and oversteer at turn 8.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

On Russell 3.1 behind, we are pulling away.

We have three more times. Tight for three more times.

OK, watch out, turn 4, we have possible debris. OK, it's gone. It's gone. Clear.

We keep up the lift-off under good management, but we can maybe find a little bit of time braking entry turn 1 and braking turn 12, but keep up the lift-off. Albon ahead is trying to open a gap.

Laps in traffic is OK.

Tight for two more times. So let's keep the pressure.

And you have DRS.

Multi-V 14, position 6. When you can, multi-V 14, position 6. Not a joke.

I will try again to push to go to turn 12.

Okay, back to multi B1, please.

OK, correction. Multi V8, position 6. Multi V8, torque position 6.

We go around for the start and then we try to do a constant speed on your way in.

Okay, 12. Confirmed. On 12, we go to the grid. We will start from the right-hand side.

No tyre warming. On previous start, you were one shallow compared to the targets.

Understood.

On Daniel, focus on clutch timing. That was three tenths too much, the previous one. Three tenths too long.

We go to the grid, we go to the grid. No burnout, no burnout. Start on the right-hand side, as far forward as you can.

You can go back to multi-B1. We are ready for what's coming after turn 3.

On brakes, we'll be on the low side. Heads up. We didn't do too much, yeah.

Did you say one burnout? Negative. No burnout. Zero.

Okay, we have two Williams close behind you. You can let them by. Stay nice offline, please. Make sure you stay offline for the constant speed.

Constant speed position 200, 5th gear. Stay offline, please.

Ok, back to confirm speed 1 and we can pick up the pace. We'll do a static pitstop.

Let's make sure we have a bit of break time in turn 12, so no issues in pit entry.

You can charge off. We can do that now.

Static pitstop. On switch off. Hold the brakes.
