OK, two cars on track ahead of you. Everyone on outlaps, so let's focus on the tyres.

And reminder to sync all gears.

And we have shape 5, please.

And let's go DRS out of 7 and we can do some weaving running up to 8. If possible, we can work the surface in turn 8.

Okay, so let's pick a gap.

Let's reset our shape. We'll go recharge off and let's go mate.

Smoke's coming out of the front brakes.

OK, recharge on. Let's box this lap. We can keep this grip on the in lap.

So, all cars around you are on slow laps, either boxing or on outlaps.

So Magnussen, the car behind, just finished a time-lap. So Esteban's first lap was a 21.3, 21.3.

And how's the balance on that lap? I just have no front, which is very annoying. I have absolutely no front. OK, we'll have a think what we can do for the next one. Front brakes, smoking, turn 1, no deceleration. Alright, copy that. So let's just stay positive on the brakes on the in-lap.

All right, still no cars on time-lapse behind, so we are boxing this lap.

So we believe Hulkenberg boxing, he's two cars back, Magnussen is the car behind.

Once in the pitlane, you'll likely have to drive around Esteban.

All right, so let's fox this lap.

Okay Pierre, are you happy with the front wing for the next lap?

Let's put one click more.

Should I go shape 5 or not? Let's go shape 5. What should I do for the smoking brakes turn 1? So we think the brakes will stop smoking.

So we just got Alonso on the start finish starting the lap and Bottas as well.

Okay, so we can take it easy on the outlap for now.

We've got Russell starting the time lap now. Four seconds. Two seconds to Russell.

And then we've got Hamilton now three seconds back on the time-lap.

Two seconds to Hamilton.

Processor as before will use DRS. Processor as before will use DRS after 7.

And we can introduce some weaving. We'd like to go SOC 6. SOC 6.

Ok, no threats behind. We've got Sainz and Leclerc about to start their lap. So, reminder to reset your shape and we'll go recharge off at 11.

Okay, so no threats behind and we're boxing.

Are you happy with front wing for the next set?

Yeah, I'm happy. I'm still struggling. Braking turn 1, no efficiency. Okay, we'll take a look.

Okay, still no threats behind. Let's box this lap.

OK, Pierre, we're getting ready for the final run. We're going to turn the car around quickly for this new set. But one thing we are discussing is whether we need to do a prep lap. Do you have any interest in that?

Yeah, I'm just feeling I'm... First lap is never coming to me this weekend, so... OK, if we want to do a prep lap, we need to put fuel in the car and send it immediately.

Up to you. Whatever you guys think is best for the tyres.

Okay, Pierre, so we're going for a single fast lap.

So we'd like to go for no lift in turn 3.

There's 3.15 left in the session. I will keep you updated on time.

Anything for efficiency?

So the only thing we could think about, Pierre, is another step rearwards on offset, but maybe balance that with going forwards on engine braking. So you could go torque 4, offset minus 3 for turn 1, but it is an experiment.

Okay, I'll stick to what we have.

So you got the first car. We're coming through Colo Pinto. He's approaching turn 11 now.

Behind him is Magnussen, three seconds back.

So we're all good for time on our outlap.

Okay, four seconds to Colapinto. We can do some weaving before we get to turn 4.

Two seconds, Colo Pinto.

And he has Magnussen at two seconds behind him.

OK, Hulkenberg, the next car, he's three seconds back.

And let's use DRS out of 7. Two seconds to Hulkenberg.

Yeah, we can see that.

And if we can have SOC 5. We've got Zhou, the next car, four seconds back. A lot of gravel everywhere. Yeah, we see that. So, SOC 5. Two seconds to Zhou. Reminder to reset your shape. We'll go recharge off. Let's get a clean lap, mate. Let's go.

Okay Pierre, we are safe and happy to abort. Abort.

Okay, so we'll just watch. We've got no threats behind.

Same issue. OK. Alright, let's talk about it when we're here. We're boxing this lap.

On my side, I think I want to do a U-set at the end. Yep, something we're discussing here. That's good feedback, so we'll chat about that once you're plugged in.

Okay, I don't know if we've got time to do it. I'd like to do maybe an autothrottle on the new tyre, and then box, put the used we have now, and then at the end do the... Okay, well one thing, we're not plugged in but we can chat about it, so we could go prep fast on new, then fast turnaround, and then go for a single fast at the end.

So, if you...

So we've got plenty of time. We'll go brake 5 on the outlap.

Do you want me to do the same outlap as before or slightly slower? Slightly slower.

And we don't need any weaving on this prep lap.

Okay, so you've only got the Ferraris ahead of you. We'll use DRS out of turn 7 as before.

And no weaving.

So let's just be conscious of our delta.

And if we can keep the speed down on the main straight, we don't need to go too fast.

Still only 11 cars on track. Also DRS. No DRS, please.

So the first car behind us that will start pushing will be Ricciardo. He's exiting the final corner now.

And from now we can do a standard outlap.

Okay, I'm coming out of 7. We can do some weaving and use DRS.

And let's lean on the front right through turn 8 and 10. We've still got five seconds to Ricciardo behind on a fast lap.

Alright, recharge on. Let's box this lap.

Okay, so we're P9 and 10. Esteban's last lap was a 20.9.

We've got some cars who are on new out there. So three cars ahead of us were on new, the rest on scrubbed. How was the balance? It didn't feel amazing. Like the rear tyres feels a bit odd, especially out of the tractions. I had full stability in 304, 307. Ok. Tromso are better, but the rear are not great. No.

Can we do the... I don't know if you know what I mean, but we need a bit of help for them, yeah? Yep, copy. We'll take a look. So we've got Russell. He's about 11 seconds back on a time-lap.

Still got nine seconds to Russell. We're boxing this lap. The next set obviously will be new, so we should pick up a little bit of grip from that. Might help the balance.

Seven seconds to Russell. So let's watch for the weighbridge on the way in.

Weybridge, Weybridge.

OK, Pierre, so in terms of lap sequence, we still think this is the way to go. We're not getting that first lap on the new tyre. Are you still happy with that?

Yeah. So the question is scrubbed.

Yeah, I think I'll do that for the brakes.

Minus three shape four. That's enough.

So we're going to get a throttle lift in turn 3 and on the way up to turn 4 let's keep the speed below 220.

You've got two cars behind on outlaps. More coming.

But we're all good for time for our plan.

Are you happy with the mapping?

I'm not against it, I'm happy with what I said.

Yep, we're happy to give that a go, so let's use DRS.

No weaving down to 11.

So keep the speed below 220.

Alright, so you've got three cars behind that will open their lap. Magnussen the closest, three seconds back.

Okay, so Hulkenberg is five seconds back, starting the time lap. Two seconds.

Next car is Piastri, five seconds back.

Piastri is 2 seconds back, so let's give a lift in 3. Watch out for Piastri.

Okay, we've got time till the next car, Perez, who's 13 seconds back.

So we can use DRS out of 7. We can introduce some weaving.

And we can work the surface through 8 and 10.

Ok, let's do some weaving down to 11. Reminder to reset your shape. We've got Perez four seconds back. We'll go recharge off at 11.

Disaster. Disaster.

OK, recharge on. Let's box this lap.

OK, so that's P14 for us, P15 for Esteban. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, nice grip.

I just have no grip. I slided all the way to turn 1 and shattering everything. It's something we didn't understand with these soft tyres.

Yeah, certainly plenty for us to look into, but thanks for some clean laps. We'll shift our focus to tomorrow. We know we did a bit better on the medium, so let's look forward to the race. Let's keep an eye on your delta on this end lap. I don't think that, yeah, we can look after.

Check the vibration on the brake as well.

Okay, mate, we'll take a good look.

Alright, so that's Box's lap. Watch out for the weir bridge on the way in.

Once you approach the box, drive around Esteban.

Alpine car.
