So, a few cars waiting a pit out, but obviously don't want to lose too much track position. Radio check. Yeah, there's a lot of cars here.

Leclerc, Norris at turn 13.

Norris at turn 70.

OK, so Norris is 23 seconds back.

Still need to sink in third gear.

So V-Charge on for now. V-Charge on. Gap to Tsunoda currently 4 seconds. Norris 18 seconds back.

Happy with energy for double push.

Norris, 17 seconds back.

It's OK, 1. 1-0. Mode 1. Mode 1. Two cars to go. No, it shouldn't be an issue.

Tsunoda at 5 seconds, only car to go.

Tsunoda at 5. Be charged off when you're ready. 6.

In mode 4 if you want to keep on pushing.

Currently P2, P3 max, P1 56.0, P3 57.4, yourself 58.0.

OK, tyres getting warm. V-Charge on, V-Charge on. Prepare for the next lap. V-Charge on. Mode 1. Got a nice bit of track position here. Norris, 22 seconds, first car pushing.

The main losses are under braking. Just a gradual loss through the lap. Copy. The high speed is slightly a bit neutral. Turn 10, the entry.

Nice at 10 seconds. Display yellow 6, position 10, plus 2. Display yellow 6, position 10, plus 2.

And a push toggle available also. Norris at nine seconds.

So, Norris at 5.0 seconds. Track is clear in front. Recharge off when you're ready. Push toggle available for turn 10 also. Push toggle for turn 10.

Track is clear. Nice and four seconds.

Okay, V-Charge on, that's P2 now. So cool the tyres, prepare to go again.

It looks a bit neutral into turn 1, turn 18. We'd recommend B-Bal 4. B-Bal 4 for turn 1 and turn 18. What are your thoughts on this tyre set versus getting a new set on? Yeah, I think the slides are still on this one.

So no one, no immediate threats behind.

And save the new one for when the track improves.

About half the field has fitted onto the first set.

Piastri, now P1, 55.5. We're P5.

How's the rain looking?

Nothing expected in the next five minutes. No change.

So there's no chance of mine not going home for this next lap.

So, three cars to go in front. B-Bal 4, B-Bal 4 for turn 1. Hold for track position to Magnussen. Just Ocon to go in front. He's at 4 seconds. Ocon's still at 4, 5, 6. Recharge off.

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 3.

B-Bal full. B-Bal full.

Box. Checo. Box. V-Charge on. Box.

Flap adjust. Flap adjust.

Here, keep it. Strat 12 in the pitlane.

Strat 8. Strat 8. So target to open the lap is minus 5. Target to open the lap is minus 5.

So Alex has just opened and that means a long side.

Current pace is 55.0. Alex is back to help.

No immediate threats behind.

How many laps we got? One time lap here. Just one lap.

So we've got plenty of time to the flag.

No-one on the lap behind. Everyone behind has backed out. There are seven cars between you and turn 14. I'll expect to open laps. As I expected, Constantino.

So it's B-Bal 4 for turn 1, that's already set. B-Bal 3 for the rest of the lap and then B-Bal 4 back to turn 18.

Still got seven cars to go in front. It's all going to back up here.

Whole position has not gone back.

Four cars to go.

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 3.

B-Bal full.

OK, V-Charge on. That's P4.

Box added to this lap.

Yeah, fucking tyre was not ready. We compromised ourselves too much.

Yep, just keep it in mind. Yep, everyone apart from Max fitted a fresh set and the fresh set was going faster.

Yeah, I think I lacked a bit of temperature. Yeah, I see.

It really took me until turn 10, really.

OK, so, box.

Watch out for the weight, bitch. But, yeah, that is a job.

OK, sir. Into job and switch off.

OK, it's the last time around, the tyres are about minus 10.

So we're looking for minus five. Minus five is the target. Should be a bit more space out here.

Alex, the first car at turn 13.

Might just be a few spots of rain but not expecting anything major.

That's a gap ahead. Four cars to go in front.

Still got three cars to go.

OK, just Bottas. He's at seven seconds.

Bottas has gone B-charge off.

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 3.

B-Bal full.

Is it raining more? It was raining a little bit more in that sector. Yeah, it's picking up.

Okay, currently P6, max P1 at 53.8.

Main losses, turn 7, 8, 9. That's a little bit of turn 1 getting on the throttle.

Okay, we're a bit tight to do a slow-quick box and then another push lap. We plan to open this next lap, go for this next lap and then if we're down, we'll pit for a fresh set from there.

And that means we get the final lap on that tyre? If we abort this next lap, we would get a lap on the first set.

OK. Let's go to display 9. Display 9 for your tyre temps.

The plane is picking up here in the pitlane.

Is anyone improving? No-one's on the second push-up yet.

Okay, so two cars to go in front.

Just Bottas to go.

That's Bottas, four seconds.

Four. B-Shield off. Five. Six.

B-Bal full. B-Bal full.

He's running harder.

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 3.

OK, B-Charge on, B-Charge on.

Fermi with pressure, I think.

And get rid of the tear-off that is on my rear wing.

Strat 12. Strat 12.

Get rid of the tear-off. Is there a tear-off on the rear wing or not? OK. Traffic.

Strat 8. Strat 8.

OK, no threads out there.

People improving? Yeah, Russell's just gone purple in sector 1, green in sector 2.

Go to B-Bal 4. B-Bal 4. No threats behind. Just Bottas in front on an out lap.

So Russell's just improved by two tenths, getting a new inter.

So that would be one lap.

Yeah, we're looking at one lap here. One lap here.

Strat red 6. Strat red 6.

It's all clear here.

So, just retard off when you're ready.

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 3.

B-Bal 4. B-Bal 4.

VTOL job. Watch out for guys opening laps behind. Leclerc first at six seconds.

It's currently P4. Leclerc just came into one. He's five seconds back.

So the clerk at four seconds, trying to give him any tow here. Clerk at three, two, one. And then Sainz at seven, six.

Four. Three. Two. One. Bottas pushing at four. Three.

That's it for us.

Yeah, that's the chequered flag. Bottas at one second. He's through. Stroll now at five seconds. Currently at P5.

Stroll at 4.

I don't think we will make it. The track is improving.

OK, so box, watch out for the weight bridge.

So it's P10. Yeah, come on man, let's improve our run plan.

B-Charge off. Where did we go into the traffic? The tyres, I was expecting to be a little bit warmer than this.

There's also not a huge amount of time in this session.

OK, update and recommendation. Minus 10 on the rear axle. Minus 10 on the rear axle.

Tempo, build quickly.

So, Hamilton and Leclerc at turn 9.

It seems to be drying up. Copy.

Yeah.

We've got Fernando Sainz and Leclerc at turn 12.

So, three cars still to go.

Still got two cars to go.

Just Leclerc. Gap of three seconds.

Four. Five. Six. Seven. Recharge off.

B-Bal 3. B-Bal 3.

B-Bal full. B-Bal full.

B-child job, keep up the pace. OK, that's P1 at the moment.

OK, Max has pinned us by six tenths, so keep up the pace. OK, another set of rubber on. OK, losses to Max are two-tenths of a second to one, two-tenths of a second to two, a tenth and a half a second to three.

Heads up on any balance limitations.

I was a little bit all over the place. I think we just adjust a bit.

OK, from our side we recommend push toggle turn 12. Do you want it to flap adjust?

Yeah, turn 12 has been very understeery, but it was quite neutral this time around, so... Did you get a clue to that in turn 10?

Yeah, third time I'm happier. Yeah, it's really tough.

OK, so no flap adjust at the moment. I'd say recommend push toggle for turn 12. FYI, Hamilton's fitted his new, Piastri's used his new, Russell's used his new, Norris's used his new.

So, box. Yeah. Fuck them all. Let's go do it.

So, push up a weighbridge. Otherwise it's a job to switch off.

It should be nice and clear as you come out.

Norris, the second push, 53.9. Hamilton, 53.8. Piastri, 54.1. Your first push, 53.7. Still P2. Let's do it.

This set is one way, right?

This set has come out a little bit warmer. Yeah, we didn't wait as long, so we take it a little bit easier.

I say minus 12 on the rear axle last time round. Minus 12.

So I've still got 1 minute 50 until the traffic flag.

Six cars between you and turn 12 to open laps.

So, Russell, three-second to prop.

Stuka, a minute until check and flag.

Four cars to go.

Three to go. Motor time here.

Just Russell. Gap two seconds. Three. Four. B-Charge off. Five. Six.

B-Bal three. B-Bal three.

Yeah, I don't have anything.

OK, let's get to turn 15 and then recharge on at 15.

So you've got Norris at 5 seconds. Make sure you don't give him any toe. V-Charge on.

We're boxed. We're boxed. We're boxed. OK, Norris is back outside.

OK, that's P3. Leclerc pit toss.

Leclerc, M-Spa, 100. Bet you don't want to start on the whole M-Spa, do you? Well done, Checo. Well done, mate. Front row, just a tenth off. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Good job, guys. Let's keep it up tomorrow. Quick kicks on Mars tomorrow. Mega job today. Mega job.

Okay, finishing order. Max Leclerc, yourself, Hamilton, Norris, Piastri, Russell, Sainz, Alonso, Ocon.
