OK, so we can go brake 5 for the other lap.

So Verstappen is nine seconds behind. He's just finished a fast lap on the hard.

Right, so normal outlap from here. Verstappen four and a half behind, keeping his pace up.

I believe Max will be boxing behind.

Can you double press OK, please? Double press the OK button.

Ok, so a little bit of weaving down to 12 if you'd like.

Max is front, he is boxing.

Okay, what we need now is good drive. 13.14 to prep the surface. Let's go brake 4 now, and we're good to go.

OK, re-drop clear of traffic behind.

Okay, so first read, how was the balance?

Yeah, it's so far a lot better than yesterday. Okay, interesting. Alright, so we're going to go for a double cool. Would you like a flap adjust for the next push lap? No. Okay, understood. We see rear locking is a lot better than yesterday. We'd be happy to go rearwards on brake bias, if you like, for a bit more efficiency. Just be overall bias rearwards, that's it. Okay, car behind is Fernando. He's on a timed lap now. He's 10 seconds back. First car pushing.

So, Fernando, five seconds time lap. We're going to drive through the pitlane just to aid tyre cooling this time. Watch for Fernando coming through now.

Okay, Esteban, so next car pushing behind is Pierre. He's 11 seconds back. We're going to box to drive through now. Just confirm you don't want to flap adjust for the next lap.

No. Okay, very good. So, Pierre, seven seconds behind time-lap. Box now to drive through.

Box now to drive through P3 behind him.

Ok, so should be clear pit exit. We've got Albon just leaving the last corner now, finishing a timed lap. So Albon behind 5 seconds. We'll be on a slow this time.

Okay, so just continue with that steady pace for now. Two cars in front, Pierre and Tsunoda, are on slow laps. Pierre's first lap, 18.4 for info. He'll be driving in advance shortly. We will have Sainz coming through on a timed lap now. He's about six behind.

Signs coming through.

Clear behind of traffic at the moment. We'll have Hulkenberg coming through shortly. He's five behind, three cars back.

Hulkenberg, three and a half behind. Timed clear behind him.

And the next car pushing is Hamilton. He's about eight behind. Three cars back.

Hamilton, four behind.

Three behind. Two. Coming through now. Clear behind Hamilton. So a little bit of weaving towards the end of the lap.

It's a main time loss to Pierre. It's from turn 8 and 9 onwards. Just general losses mid-corner. Biggest losses the last two corners. Apexing late for us. Watch for Magnussen on a timed 4.5 behind. Probably best to go now, recharge off.

Okay, I'm going to recharge y'all.

Okay, so happy to do another push lap on this run, so we're going to another double cool sequence. That's a P13 with that time at the moment.

A bit of front on the rotation, turn 1 and 2. Just watch for Fernando 6 behind time lap now. OK, understood. We think we can still go rearwards with bias at this stage, a bit more like normal now, so can come a little bit more rearwards. Could even go to 0.5 on the dash. Fernando coming through now, clear behind him. 0.5? I think that's... I'll have the jammer, you know, keep it at 1 for the moment.

Yeah, let's try 0.5. Let's see what we get with that.

So, next car back, Perez, 14 seconds. He's high fuel running.

So we'll do the same again, nice and steady on these two laps and we'll drive through the pitlane. Would you like a flap adjust for the next lap?

Turn 0. Understood. So Perez 7 behind. He's sustainable running, so we can let him through.

There is three behind.

Clear behind Perez, so we're boxing now to drive through. Perez just started his second push lap on this set, so we'll keep you informed.

Are we going driving through? Driving through, please mate, yeah, so box to drive through.

I can make a couple of switch changes on the way through, so we can go to scenario 8 and socket it.

Okay, so it should be clear, pit exit.

So Pierre aborted that last lap, just for info. Clear pit exit. Another cool lap. We'll be pushing next time.

Magnussen behind outlap. We will have Verstappen coming through shortly. He's high fuel running, 10 seconds behind.

Okay, so only real losses to Pierre now, still 13.14. We're just carrying a little bit more in and losing mid-corner and exit. Looks like we're apexing sort of 10 metres later almost. It's about a tenth a corner there. Verstappen, four seconds timed.

Verstappen, two seconds, timed.

Esteban, how's turn 11 at the exit there? We've got that alternate diff map if you want to add a bit of stability. We can try it if you want. Understood. We'll give you a switch change in a second.

Diff high speed 3, please. Diff high speed 3.

So nice and steady, down to turn 12.

OK, mates, let's think about prepping the surface 13 to 14. Good exits out of there. One more lap.

Okay, watch for Norris starting a timed behind.

Okay, mate, so we're going to box this lap. Nice improvement on a third soft tyre lap.

Okay, so we would like to do an aero cruise after turn 3, please. That's aero P4. We do have Magnussen, a couple of cars behind.

It actually looks like Magnussen is on a slow lap, so OK for traffic. Aero P4, down to turn 4 please.

OK, that's good. We'll do another aero cruise after turn 11 and then box.

There'll be no practice pitstop this time.

Next question for you is the front heave. If we don't get front right. Yep, understood. Aero P4 down to turn 12.

Okay, let's box now, let's run box now.

Okay mate, so we'll get some comments when you're plugged in. We've got a little bit of time in hand here. Just have a think about aerobalance and wings just for a moment while we plug you in. Okay.

Okay, you'll be cleared for mid-exit.

Sir Hamilton three seconds in front. Outlap. He's on a second cool lap actually.

Let's focus on that delta time.

No traffic behind, no-one pushing.

Next car pushing now is Perez. Low fuel, soft tyre. Five and a half behind. Perez pushing.

There it is, two and a half, clear behind him.

Okay, so Hamilton, Magnussen and Pierre around turn 10 point, they will all be pushing this time I think.

Okay, 170 target if you can.

Next car pushing Tsunoda behind. Four seconds. Time lap Tsunoda.

Okay, so let's go brake 4. Watch for Tsunoda coming through now. Let's make the gap now to Pierre and then let's focus on drive 13-14. Clear of traffic. Everyone behind outlaps. Let's make the gap. Good to go.

Yellow turn 9. Single yellow turn 9. Double yellow turn 9.

Watch for Fernando behind.

Okay, mate, so let's go into a cool lap.

I think we should go for a cool lap. We do have Stroll pushing behind. It's turn 12 now.

Okay, so happy with single cool. What with Stroll just finishing a time-lap behind.

Stroll just finished a timeout behind.

OK, let's go to 0 on the dash for brake bias, we think. A little bit more room there for some brake efficiency. So we're going to go single-cool. We're only going to get one more time lap here, unfortunately.

Most important thing was that you got a feel for balance. First part of the lap looked pretty good. How was it? Yeah, it was okay to start with. Okay, that's good. Let's see if we can get a clear lap and a time on the board. Most important bit was the start of that first lap though. That's the bit of info we need and got, so good job there.

Okay, so we do have Sargeant pushing now. He's about six behind.

Sgt. pushlap 4 behind. 2.5 clear behind him.

Okay Esteban, so we're happy with temperatures coming down, just looking for a nice drive out 13 to 14. You sure not double cool? No, I'm just going to double check Esteban, but for the moment I'm happy with single, I'll let you know.

Okay, we're happy to go for a second cool-up, Esteban. We might just pick the pace up towards the end of the lap, subject to temperatures. So let's go for another cool-up. We've got time in hand here. Okay. Three minutes to the flag, so should have about 30 seconds margin. I'd pay to stay on track for this one.

Okay, so we've got Fernando possibly starting at times now. Three behind, two behind now. Just watch for him, please. Fernando coming through, pace is up.

And then next car pushing Albon. Correction, Albon just finished a timed by the looks of it. Might have a few cars leaving the pitlane ready for their high fuel start.

OK, so tyre temp's coming down. We can start to just keep our pace a little high. Watch for Bottas, three behind, timed lap.

Albon behind, watch for him please. Not sure what he's doing.

Albon should be on a slow lap.

Perez behind slow and Pierre behind him slow, so we're in phase with people now.

About 30 seconds margin at the moment.

We have Ricciardo on a time lap coming through. He's about six behind now.

Only two cars are going from me.

You're in a good spot there, only Albon to go in front now. Ricciardo time lap three and a half behind, tyre temps are looking good.

OK, let's go brake 4 once Ricciardo's through. Clear behind Ricciardo.

OK, surface temp prep to start the lap. One more time.

Piastri coming through behind us. Go now.

Okay, so that is the chequered flag.

Okay, so we're going round to the grid to do a start.

I think it shows there's more potential on the first lap on this tyre anyway. Yeah. Okay, that's fine. The most important thing is you've got to feel for balance in that outlap prep, so that's good. Okay, so going to a grid start on the left-hand side this time.

Okay, mate, so just one switch change before we start scenario 1, please. Scenario 1, we'll be pushing to pit entry again. And just two burnouts as well.

So for info, Pierre's second lap on this last run was 18.7. Not sure if he had traffic or something like that. Left. Left side please, mate. And pushing to pit entry.

Box, box, practice, pitstop. Box, box, practice, pitstop.

Okay, no launch. No launch. We'll roll you forwards after the stop.

OK mate, thanks for that. We'll get some comments when you're put.
