Still 40 seconds to go.

Mateo, it's a bit weird. Can we change it when we get back? The helmet? Yeah, there's some scratching. Copy that. You've got 10 seconds to agree.

So, V-Limb is already set for exit 2.

The feeling is good for exit 2.

Once you've done this for you, then let me check you out to B3. That's disabled.

Just a heads up to a backhoe. The track is really slippery.

OK, the next speed limit is until turn 16.

Gap ahead at 3.5. Gap behind at 5.

Gap ahead at 5. You've got space behind. Four seconds back. So there's a cornering lean in, lean in, lean in, four second gear, lean in, four second gear. Gap ahead is good. Ricciardo two seconds back.

That's still fine. Give yourself some margin once you've gone through that BLM because we'll need a BLM 5 as left gear before we pit. Gap ahead at 5. So BLM 5. Gap ahead is fine. And we are boxed this lap with a BLM 5.

So I'll just try and juggle traffic on this out. First push to put you in the right position and go for Verstappen coming through. Turn 1 now, then Bottas, then there's a 12 second gap behind.

Bottas should be pushing his three back.

Bottas, two back. Alonso, 13 back.

Alonso still 8th back.

Go switch to go out. So Frakko did a double push. Tyre condition is OK at the moment. Alonso aborted behind you, so he's quite behind. Eight seconds ahead to Bottas.

And it could be go, push.

The deployment will sort itself out on the mode 2s but it's mode 5. We'll be fine for now.

OK, that's a red flag. So, go safety car positive on the delta and we are boxed this lap.

So it's no overtaking. Let's box this lap. There'll be a live stop, engine off, and then we'll get ready to go again.

Okay, I'd say my main comment so far is the VRH feels very, very odd. Really aggressive bossing me. Very, very stiff through there. It's a very small bump, but the feeling I have is...

Okay, go switch to go out. Verstappen three ahead. Mercado ten ahead.

Go, push. Gap ahead at 4.5.

Happy to push again, Franco 2 ahead.

Seat belt yellow at turn 7.

Wiener at turn 7.

We're not waiting on the tyre at all. It's really odd. The car feels so stiff.

And then it's just creating a lot of thermal overheating. The rear surface is on the higher side at the minute, so we can back off a little bit and we'll go next lap.

Sainz 2 ahead, Verstappen 2 behind. Mode is good. Let's just go push before 16 now and it will sort itself out.

Okay, close the lap then looking to do a cool at minus 10 on the dash. You've got seven seconds back to Verstappen.

Okay, he's currently at turn 15. It's a double yellow and that's a red flag.

OK, go safety car positive on the Delta. We are boxed this lap.

OK, you can leave it running. It's 40 seconds till green.

15 seconds.

So I stay in ref at 2, I exit at 12 and then let's go out. Should be green shortly.

OK, go switch to go out. That's Alonso 7 ahead, Ricciardo 7 behind.

Do you think he's got fake or what? He's on the medium, so potentially it'll be a double push out.

Rick behind you on the soft out. Let's go, push, gap ahead at 7.

It's currently turn 1 yellow. You're not home fuel.

Just clear at turn 1.

Yeah, correct on Alonso. Still no fuel.

Okay, close that up and then it'll be zero on the dash on a cool lap. Maintaining front, dropping the rear.

No transcript available

That's Bottas out lap, that's OK.

OK, I'm still 1 second behind. Bottas 6 ahead.

OK, RIC4 ahead. I want to push 5 back.

Zhou in 4. Gap ahead at 4. Let's go, push. Gap behind, still good at 3.

Double yellow, double yellow ahead.

That's another red flag.

Do you think some guys will be unsustainable now?

Potentially the two cars ahead of you will be. It's such a disrupted session, I'd imagine there's a bit of everything, but we think the two cars ahead will be on consecutive.

OK, go switch to go out. Zhou and Bottas are still low fuel, they're behind you. Gap ahead at 12, but there are five cars to open the lap.

I need at least 7 to Bermen. I'm currently at 5. No grip behind. Gap ahead at 6 to Bermen.

And that's 7. Let's go push.

That's it, go switch to cool. Verstappen, let's go back eight seconds on a push.

Verstappen commentary now, there's a 30 second gap behind Tim.

Sire, wait.

We're going to filter drop back and then it'll be a fast low fast. So there's a few cars in sector one on cool laps now, but you've got no throw behind.

Okay, you've got a yellow at turn 1.

OK. Just watch Stroll behind. Two seconds. We definitely have a problem with the car. Just seriously, have a look at it.

Bottas in 3.

Just watch Zhou, I want to push in 3.

Alright, Alex is clear behind me. I'm going to box this lap.

And I'll crack on with the change on the rear.

If I... if we... I don't know.

Feels like, I don't think that's enough for it to be that, in the corners like that.

Turn 15. Not even flat, not even close. Just watch Norris in 5 on a push. At the minute, if we're taking away confidence, there's no point in pushing this next lap, is there? Might give us a bit more time if we do need to make some changes.

Would you rather stay out? Then it would be time for a one-push.

Yeah, I understeer.

OK, copy that. So I'll clear behind in 11 seconds back to Rick. He's on consecutive. You've got two cars to open lap in front of you. It'll be time for one more push.

Behind Rick, there's an 8 second gap.

Braking in 4.

I'm with you now. There's an 8 second gap behind him. If he's on consent, we'll need a good 7 seconds to him.

No throttle behind. You've got a three second gap to Gasly. Go push.

Box, just watch behind you. Three seconds back. Drop your box. Nico Piastri push in.

That's Piastri, that's Gasly, then it's Cleveland.

Hang on, I'll box that lifestyle engine off.

I think...
