OK, that's 30 seconds, the green light.

15.

Okay, Alex, so we're happy to let one of those salvos in if you want to. That'll put us in a good place in the queue. Okay, so that should be the green light, but yeah, if it's a problem, don't worry about it. We're already good.

Okay, so once we start moving, this will create a gap. Pit exit.

Okay, gap ahead is two, three, four seconds ahead, five, six seconds to Russell.

Still six seconds, Russell, ahead. Seven seconds, Russell. That's good.

Car behind Perez. Five seconds and ahead there's a big gap. There's eight seconds to Russell but there's a pack of four cars so they may open out a little bit. Go switch to go out.

Okay, so cars ahead is Logan, Russell and Bottas. They're all right together, so they'll start to open a gap now. We've still got six seconds back to Perez if we need it. Logan's going now, so just Russell and Bottas ahead. Russell's going, so now Bottas is four ahead. Bottas going now. Four seconds. Five.

Still 5.5, go switch to go push.

Let's try opening the next lap. Push the first few corners.

Okay, copy that. You've got go. Cool. So, Leclerc, two behind, possibly pushing, and Perez, two behind him. Okay, Perez looks to have backed out.

Ok, so no one push behind now.

Feels a bit more disconnected in the car. Low speed understeer, high speed oversteer.

Okay, copy that Alex. So target zero on the dash. Watch for Stroll, full back pushing.

Stroll 2.

Okay, the next pushing is Magnussen, 11 back.

Magnussen, 7.

Mode 2 off. Yeah, let's go mode 2. Magnussen, 3.

OK, once you've got mode 2, I have to go go-push.

Right, over the line, go switch to go cool. Target plus 15 on the dash, 1-5.

Okay, first pushing Norris, four back.

Norris 2 and then it will be Ricciardo 6.

Quite a big split front ten. Ricciardo 3. Copy that on the split, so we're having a look. Ricciardo just behind you. And then it'll be Tsunoda 5.

Tsunoda, 3.

What do we do? Because it's going to be messy next lap. Tsunoda 2. Came after Tsunoda. It's Leclerc 3.

OK, it's Leclerc with you now. And that's Leclerc's Piastri 5.

So, Piastri 2.

When you can, anti-on.

Stroll 4. It should be the last one. And when we can, blue 7, position 9, please. Blue 7, 9. Stroll 2 back. It'll be the last pushing car.

OK, still no threat from behind. Obviously quite a few cars ahead of you to start push laps.

So let's try and target a six second gap if we can to Verstappen. So currently half a second, he should be going now.

OK, so go switch to go push when you're ready. Must happen to 2.5.

OK, over the line, go switch to go cool and watch for Sainz, two back, starting a push.

Okay, now it'll be Piastri 7. What do you think, Alex, do you want another push lap? If we do, it'll probably be a push abort in order to save time.

OK, Box. OK, copy that. So that's Box this lap, so go switch to go in. And nobody push behind.

OK, so next pushing car is Ricciardo, six pack.

Ricciardo, 4. Two seconds, Ricciardo.

That was a bit dangerous, whoever did that.

Okay, we'll have a look. Yeah, nobody else pushing behind, so it should be good. So just box. Alex, box.

Okay, and when you arrive, stop on the marks, find hold revs and then switch off, please.

OK, let's settle and resume in just over one minute time. And for the outlap, you guys target zero on the dash. That's just slightly slower in turns 7 and 8 than you did on the hard.

Okay, that's Logan ahead, so we'll just create a gap pit exit. So let's try and target seven to eight seconds if we can.

Gap ahead is 1.5. Three seconds. Four.

Okay, five seconds. Let's target seven if we can. That's six to Logan. 6.5. Seven seconds. Okay, that's good.

Okay, so first push for Verstappen. He's just braking for turn 1 now, so we're going to try and stay ahead of him on this outlap. He's 20 seconds back.

Go switch to go out.

Gap ahead is still 8 to Logan and he'll be the only car ahead of us starting the push. First push into Verstappen, 14 back.

Okay, gap ahead is 7. Logan's just in 13 now, so he'll be going. And Verstappen's 12 back, so we're clear of him as well. That's good. So, when you're ready, go switch to go push. Gap ahead is 9.

The line, we'll do a double cool, go to go cool. Target plus five on the dash.

Ocon, just exiting the pitlane now. Near you.

Ocon just behind on an outlap. OK, he's ahead now. Car behind is Zhou in phase. Nobody's pushing. Nobody's pushing behind.

Yeah, I overdid the outlap, those tyres are gone.

OK, understood. So, we've got a double call. Let's see what we can do to try to bring them back and see if we can get another lap in.

Okay, still no threat from behind. Anyone pushing? Cars behind are Joe and Ricciardo in phase, so they're about three seconds back now.

And when we get here we're happy to drive through the pitlane to cool the tyres a bit more.

So, Box, Alex, Box, driving straight through.

OK, just come steady to the pitlane.

Okay, so Stroll is in turn 1 now. And then Hamilton pushing in turn 1. And then Gasly, he's half a second back. Okay, he should be behind them. That'll be okay. Okay, Gasly close pit exit. Okay, it looks like Gasly's backed out.

OK, so first pushing is Bottas at six pack.

Bottas, 4.

Bottas, 2.

Get the next bushings. Norris, 9 back.

Norris, 3... 2...

OK, that's Leclerc 5.

Three seconds, Leclerc, and you should be the last one.

One second. He's possibly aborted, so he may not come past you. Yeah, it looks like he's aborted. If you can, green 12, position 14, 1-4. Green 12, 1-4.

There's nobody pushing behind and ahead there's a big gap, so we've got 13 seconds ahead to Norris, so this is a good gap.

When you're ready to go, just go switch to go push.

Align, go switch to go in.

So first push is possibly Piastri and he's pitting.

Okay, so first pushing Bottas eight back.

Bottas 5 and he should be the only pushing car.

Bottas two. Okay, now everyone in phase behind.

And if you can, out of turn 10, can we do VLIM 2, 240 kph?

There's still track there behind.

It's a good gap ahead and behind.

There's not enough power to do that.

Okay, understood, Alex. So, yeah, we'll have a look at it. So we'll just box this lap, please.

Okay, when you arrive, stop on the marks, hold revs and then switch off, please.

Luke, can we revert the...

Okay, so straight out, no start. Possibly close to Russell at pit exit, but behind him, track's clear. Okay, Russell's turn 1 now. Okay, yeah, there's Russell just ahead of you. One second, but behind him, there's nobody. There's 17 back.

Straight in, 1-5-0, straight in.

We'll just go once past the timing line. OK, copy you.

Stay out and once past the timing line.

When you can, green 12, position 7. Green 12, 7.

And box, Alex, box.

Okay, so we stop and hold brake pressure.

Push to turn 3. Traffic. Sorry.

Thank you for watching.

Is everything okay? Yeah, happy to keep pushing.

Okay, I'm trying to stay ahead of Bottas as I can. Lap time target is low, 1.16s.

Okay, there should be 14 time laps to the flag.

Luke, what do I need for more rotation in turn 12?

You can try the pull toggle or another step of torque.

Green 11, position 6. Green 11, position 6.

So, Zhou ahead of Ricardo. It looks quite slow, so hopefully both of us can get past him and then open a gap.

Good job, Alex. Now we've got a little bit of clear air.

So, at the line it'll be eight laps to go. Do you want to try any other pedal options? Pedal maps?

Okay, copy that. So eight laps remaining.

These laps are good, so we can target 16.2 to the end of the session. That's seven laps.

Yeah, but I'm just stuck. I can go quicker if I back off and get some cleaner.

Yeah, copy that, Alex. So, from outside, happy to stay where you are. Just do what you can.

As in, stay close or...? Yeah, stay in the same gap, stay close. One and a half seconds tight.

That's five laps remaining.

Good job, Alex.

Set mode 11.

That's three time laps remaining.

This is starting the final time lap. I'm going to try exit 3 for this last lap.

Over the line, that's the chequered flag, but happy to keep pushing until you hit traffic.

OK, so go switch to go in and we'll go to the grid for a practice start.

Okay, so go to the left-hand side, please, for the start. Left-hand side. Four burnouts, if you can. Four burnouts, with a burnout button, and then target is...

Car's too hot. OK, copy that. You've gone anyway. OK, that's fine. Just cool it on the way in.

Yeah, Alex, everything was okay from our side, so they were just within the window. So yeah, just caught the car on the way in.

Yes, box. Alex, box.

When you arrive, stop at the marks, find hold revs, we'll do a practice pitstop and then switch off, please.
