Okay, mate, so we've got two cars on track at the minute. Bottas just leaving the pitlane. Hulkenberg is the first car. He's in turn 10 at the moment.

So let's just focus on our outlap. Sync the gears.

We still have 20 seconds to Hulkenberg. Still missing 8th gear. If we need to go recharge off to sync, we can. But reminder, we'll go recharge back on.

Okay, no threats behind, so reminder to reset your shape and we'll go recharge off at turn 13 and let's push.

Okay, recharge on. Let's watch out for Leclerc behind opening a time lap two seconds back.

So let's watch out for Leclerc.

Alright, so the next car pushing will be Piastri. He's still 7 seconds back. Currently P1 with that lap. Yeah, and this one I see, uh, probably lost it in turn 9. Copy that. So, Piastri pushing 3 seconds back.

Two seconds, Piastri.

Okay, so car behind Esteban on a slow lap, so we'll box this lap. If we could go SOC 4, we'll go SOC 4. We've got no threats at the minute. Check if I got some overheating. It's 9 and 10, feels pretty bad. Yep, copy that, we'll take a look.

OK, mate, so we'll box this lap. How was aero balance?

Aero bar disconnected. OK, so we've still got no threats.

OK, Pierre, if warm-up feels OK to you, we could take it easier down to turn 7. So if you think warm-up's OK, we could slow down a bit on the outlap, so...

There are currently no threats at the minute. We've got Zhou behind on an outlap, Tsunoda and Ricciardo on a double cool sequence. Verstappen, the first car coming through, but he is still 10 seconds back.

Okay, we have seven seconds to Verstappen.

Four seconds, Verstappen.

2.5

Ok, so no threats.

Okay, Verstappen three seconds ahead, so we'll go recharge off at 13 and let's go again.

OK, recharge on. Box this lap, so we'll box this lap. That lap's P5 at the minute. Struggling a lot, 9 and 10. Yeah, we can see that.

Alright, car behind is Zhou.

You've just finished a time lap.

Behind him, cars all finished a time-lapse. So let's come on in and think about what we do for the next one.

Apart from 9 and 10, any other balance issues out there?

Apart from that, it felt pretty good. A bit of rear locking. Yeah, that's 12. Okay. Looks like 3 tenths, 9 tenths. Yeah, over here. Sliding all over the rear. Okay, copy.

And if we can have SOC 3 for the next run. SOC 3 and we'll box this lap. No threats behind.

Let me know what you want me to do. I need your instruction. Do I go behind Perez or not?

Yeah, we'll let you know.

Is he the last car or are there some guys behind? He is the last car. Is there a point where he's going out or we should save this set?

We'll let you know. We've still got 2.40 to the flag. It's a short lap.

That's correct.

Can I do my normal outlap? You've got two minutes left, so at the minute there's time for a normal outlap.

So it will solely depend on how much time people back up.

Yeah, so... Ideally we would push on towards the beginning of the lap. Let's watch out for Norris, ok. So from where we are now, a normal outlap would work. Yeah, it's not very slow. Yeah.

So we've got Albon behind two seconds. Let's watch out for him.

Okay, next car is Tsunoda. We're a bit behind, mate, so we do need to push on a little bit. So we've still got five seconds to Tsunoda.

So Perez is well clear of the checkered so we can push on a bit. Three seconds to Tsunoda.

Okay, mate, we're about two seconds behind. So next car is Ricciardo, six seconds back.

So we need to keep pushing mate and go a little quicker.

OK, we've got four seconds to Ricardo. We are right on the cusp now for the chequered flag, so normal outlap.

Still got three seconds to Ricciardo, so let's hold position. Go recharge off at 13.

OK mate, we can abort.

OK, mate. Let's go recharge on.

Apologies for that, I should have waited until after that sequence, but we believe we're safe, so let's box this lap.

Tyres are too cold, turn 1, just for reference. OK, copy that.

Alright, so we'll box this lap.

OK, Pierre, so we are on plan. No worries for time. Just the Ferraris out, completed a lap, they're on in-laps. And then the cars leaving now on out-laps.

Any rain around? There's no rain expected for the next 20 minutes. Sky is getting darker, but we're watching it. So Piastri will be the first car on the time-lapse. He's currently in turn 12.

Okay, so if we can push on the outlap a little bit harder, the tyres are a little colder than expected.

So, Piastri, the first car pushing, he's still 10 seconds back. We've got a 7 second gap to Stroll ahead.

Full throttle, belt to 11. Use DRS.

Whether to push the surfaces in 12.

Okay, we still have six seconds to Piastri, so let's go recharge off at 13 and let's go.

OK, recharge on. Watch out for Leclerc behind opening the lap.

Okay, so we'll box this lap. It's our lap currently P7.

That was a good run through 9 and 10 this time.

Yeah, it's displaying a little bit safe, but I'll play it off. OK, copy that.

Alright, so some cars ran new, some cars ran used. We're still P8 at the minute. Just got to watch out for the warm-up because the tyres are still a bit cold. Yeah, we think that's because they were a used set, so hopefully the next set won't have that issue.

Ok, so still no threats behind.

And let's box this lap.

OK Pierre, track temp is slowly dropping. It does feel like wind has picked up a little bit here in the pitlane. Are you happy with aero balance for the next run? Yep.

OK, Pierre, so we are all good on time. Two cars ahead.

So let's just focus on the normal outlap and let's get the best we can out of this.

Okay, Pierre, we can go full throttle down to 11.

Reminder to work the surface at 12.

We'll go recharge off at 13. Let's go, mate.

Okay, let's go recharge on. We've got Hamilton behind starting a time lap. Two and a half back.

OK, we need maximum fuel savings.

So, next car pushing will be Leclerc, 7 seconds back, so let's focus on fuel saving. I'll have P5 at the limit, I'll let you know once I cycle through. So, 4 seconds to Leclerc.

Two seconds to Leclerc.

Okay, so no more threats at the minute.

Still some cars finishing laps.

And if we could get SOC 4 please, SOC 4.

And we are safe. So let's box this lap.

Good effort. Good effort, guys. Let's keep it going.

Very good track position as well for the warm-up at the hop. Copy that, mate.

Yeah, that was a good lap, so we're P9 with that.

Okay, Pierre, we've got four cars on track ahead of you. Piastri, the first car, he's only in turn 9, so unlikely to be an issue. So let's focus on the outlap.

We can push a little bit harder now.

As before, let's go full throttle out of 10th.

Work the surfaces.

Okay, so we've got no threats behind. We'll go recharge off at 13.

All right, let's go recharge on or box this lap.

OK, so we've got no threats behind, so it's just boxes lap.

We're currently at P6 at the minute. Four cars ran new tyre. We've got Leclerc unscrubbed. Heated to 10.8.

And how is the balance?

There's some bouncing in turn 8 a bit. OK.

Alright, well let's come in and get ready for run 2.

Okay Pierre, so we've just got Alonso finishing the time lap in turn 11. We are all good on time, so let's just maximise our outlap.

So tyre temp is looking good, happy for our baseline outlap.

And as before, we'll go full throttle down to 11 and work the surface.

Okay, we'll go recharge off at 13. Let's go, buddy.

Recharge on. You've got Piastri behind. Watch out for him. He's opening a lap.

And if we can go scenario 10 and recharge off. Scenario 10, recharge off.

Yeah, understeered a lot, 1 and 3. Yeah, tricky sector 1, mate. We can see that.

So we've got Russell pushing behind. He's eight seconds back.

Focus on fuel saving. We've got four seconds to Russell.

2.5 to Russell.

Alright, focus on fuel saving and box this lap.

All right, mate. So that's P10 for us.

Good session. We can see a couple of improvements in that lap, so we'll have a look at those for tomorrow. But we can fight from here.

Yeah, good improvement compared to yesterday. Strong session.

I know where we're lacking, but at least we can fight for some points tomorrow.

Yep, copy that. So, reminder, usual switch-off procedure.
