He did a single cool, then he did a...

Radio check, Nico. First pushing will be Albon 10 behind. Very good. Loud and clear. Albon 8 behind, Sargeant 16.

Albon 5 behind and then you have Sainz and Kevin ahead. Outlap.

Albon 3 behind. Mode K2. Albon 2. Albon 1. And you can go GX3. Next pushing is Sargeant 7 behind and then lots of outlap people.

Sargeant 5.

Sergeant 3. Sergeant 2. Sergeant 1.

Next pushing is Russell, 20 behind. Obviously you've got Kevin there and Stroll. Sainz has gone way ahead. Okay, so you just have Stroll. He's on a first back off, so I don't think he'll push again. I think he'll do a double back off, just guessing. First pushing is Russell, 15 behind. We can go spark 1, spark 1, and remember mode push. Gap ahead to Sainz is 6. Okay, ahead.

Charge on. First pushing, Hamilton 8 behind. Correction, he's in sync, so Ocon 12 behind pushing.

Verstappen behind is on the outlap. First pushing is Ocon 9 behind.

Ok, Ocon 6 behind pushing. Will box end this lap. Either drive through for a practice start or stop in the box. Watch for Ocon 3 behind pushing. Ocon 2. Ocon now. Ok, next is Zhou 23 behind. I think we have time to stop in the box and then do the start. Both.

That will be too much for clutch temp, so we just choose one or the other.

We're happy to do a start from the box, so we can come and sit in the box and then do a start from there. Yeah, it's not as good for me. But we can maybe do a start at the end of this run. We can absolutely do a start at the end. Yep, yep, no problem. So just come and stop in the box.

So box now, Nico, box now to stop in the box.

Do you want to launch from here or not? Yes, we'll still do a start from the box, so I'll just hold you here a bit. Loss to Albon, Tsunoda and Kevin is just turn 5 apex speed. It was the same lap time as Albon and Tsunoda was 0.2 quicker.

The only loss to Tsunoda also is Tsunoda carries more speed into the apex of 14. So we'll just hold here a bit longer.

No one pushing on track right now.

So you can go back to push and then charge on.

We suggest left toggle turn 12. We suggest right toggle turn 12. Right toggle turn 14.

Ok, Perez is 3 behind Esteban. Ok, Perez is 3 behind Esteban. 3s for a continuous running. Watch for Perez. 2 behind. Watch for Perez. 2 behind.

Okay, sorry about that. So now in sync with Joe behind. Joe's on an outlap after a pit stop and Sainz is six ahead, outlap after a pit stop.

So you only have Sainz to deal with. He should have a good enough gap to Perez.

And some brake temp into turn 12. OK behind.

Sainz, you're going really slow. Yeah, copy. OK, remember, reset big adjuster. Charge off mode push.

All OK behind. Gap ahead is 4.5.

Charge on Leclerc, five behind, starting a push.

OK, Leclerc 3, pushing.

Leclerc still 3.

OK, Leclerc 3.

2.5

Leclerc 2-1. After him it's Bottas 20 seconds behind. Box, end of this lap, drive through for a start. It's up to you if you want to do another push or not after. No, no push. Restart. Copy that.

Box now. Nico, drive through for practice. Start at the exit.

No burnout required. No burnout. Just mode RS for practice start.

Those cars on track just finished a lap all okay behind.

We'll have CSL 6th gear between 3 and 4 and we'll box into this lap.

Okay, box now, Nico, box now.

Good on the marks.

You're clear ahead and then first pushing behind is Albon, 13 behind.

Albon 7 behind.

Albon 4, 3, 2...

Okay, the next car, Piastri, is just starting a lap, so quite far behind.

Piastri, 20 behind. Make sure you get some brake temp. All clear ahead.

Yes, B. Update. 12 behind. All OK.

Clear ahead and then Piastri 10 behind. Remember, mode push, mode push.

OK, charge on. First pushing, Ricciardo, six behind.

Ricardo 5 behind. We can box into this lap to stop in the box. Ricardo 3. Ricardo 2. One after him is Norris outlap. Norris is on an outlap and then Verstappen 12 behind pushing.

I don't think the tyres had the best massive power slide out of the last corner. OK, copy. So Verstappen 5 behind pushing. Verstappen 4.

Verstappen 2 and then after him you're okay.

The biggest loss was turn 6 apex speed, but if you don't think you'll find anything on the second run on the tyre, then so be it.

So, Norris... OK, we'll try again. OK, yeah, so we can drive through and stop in the box. Norris behind will be starting a push. He's four behind.

Box now, Nico. Box now.

Any flap adjust, Nico? Maybe on the first lap you would take more, but maybe second push not worth it. Yeah, not really, no. Okay, we'll leave it. The bottoming in turn 3 is starting to be quite a bit excessive, really. Understood, we'll review it.

Give it a longer cool than the other lap.

Copy that, Nico.

If you're not finding anything on the lap, Nico, you can abort, but we can at least start it. Yeah, copy.

Leclerc on track is finishing a push.

Stroll ahead is on an outlap. Sainz is on a first back off. Leclerc behind on first back off.

Sainz is 5 ahead, Stroll 8 ahead. Just need some brake temp before you start the lap. First pushing Russell 20 behind.

Still 13 behind. Gap ahead is 6 but the two cars are together.

It's Gap 7 to Stroll. I think Sainz is doing another back off, so you're OK to go. Gap ahead is 8. Russell 8 behind. Remember, charge off, mode push. Russell 6 behind. All OK ahead.

Okay, you're going to box, Nico? Yeah, box now.

Just come in easy. Right now Kevin's in the box.

OK, the box is clear.

Just quick refuel and go again, yeah? That's correct. Or we got margin to the flag? No, not much margin once we put the fuel in and go.

No transcript available

OK for start mode RF.

OK, we're coming around to the checker. Right now, no one pushing behind.

You can go Spark 2, Spark 2 and Salk 6, Salk 6.

Ocon pushing 25 behind. Coming around to the chequer. 30 seconds to the chequer.

Ocon, 15 behind pushing.

Okay, that's the chequered flag. We'll go around for the start.

Mode slow. We'll do a start on the left-hand side.

Mode slow. Three burnouts. Start on the left-hand side. Mode RS.

Box now, Nico. Box now. Practice pitstop.

Kevin is about one minute away.
