We'll have a start in the pitlane.

Should be the normal place before the bottomed line.

I'm going to have Stroll starting that bit. He's 15 seconds away. George saying he thinks he'll need a prep lap, so let's have a think about that. It looks like it's difficult to generate tyre temp. Yeah, that's very slippery. Copy. Stroll at 12 seconds.

Sector 3 should be pretty clear. You've just got Alonso ahead of you seven seconds.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So it'd be Strat 14 if you want the prep.

So Colo Pinto has just left the pits behind you. Stroll at 10 behind.

So you've got Alonso ahead after four seconds and you've got 11 behind to Stroll. Go to strat mode 1 and then B-strat 2 for the lap.

So you've got 3.8 ahead and you've got 12 behind. Four ahead.

Strat. Strat mode 2.

We've got Leclerc doing consecutives. He's 48.3 without DRS. Suggest strat mode 5 across the line. Keep pushing.

Tyres too hot, mate. Yellow, yellow, turn 1. Yellow, yellow, turn 1.

Brakes are very hot. OK, copy.

I have understeer right now. OK, roger. OK, so yeah, so that's P1710 to Leclerc.

Losses, it's three tenths through the castle section and then a tenth in the final corner. All clear behind at the moment, 14 seconds, Colopinto.

Collar pinto at 6.5.

Colopinto 5. Colopinto 3.5. Colopinto 2.5.

I've got a pitot car behind.

It's very hot. OK, copy. Next car, Stroll, at 9 seconds.

Suggest that B big 2 for the next lap. Stroll at 6 seconds. I'm lucky it rears. Copy.

Stroll out to 2.5. Stroll car behind. Next will be Ricciardo. Ricciardo at 6.5.

Ricciardo at 4 seconds.

Ricardo, two and a half.

Cerrado one and a half.

And if we can have HVP set position 5. Set position 5. Next car, Hulkenberg, 7 seconds.

You've got Ricardo ahead, 7. Hulkenberg behind, 4.

Hulkenberg at 2.5. There's a Hulkenberg car behind but then Gasly is 7 seconds.

Gasly behind at 4.5.

Red flag, red flag. Delta positive, no overtaking.

Okay, so that red came just before the line, obviously, but yeah, it looks like that would have been a good enough P1 by about two tenths.

Red flag is just for debris on tracks somewhere.

Just stop on the marks back in the garage.

OK, so this is going to be a relatively quick turnaround as it's just debris.

We can have another start.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So, Sergio is all clear. You've got plenty of space behind.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Still, no pressure behind.

Okay, sir. No pressure behind.

So, yeah, we try and keep the temps in the front axle especially.

So no pressure behind.

Box. Keep going. We can take a wobble.

You've got Ricciardo at 2.5 seconds, so now 1.5.

An impairment coming through, so he's a car behind at two seconds.

Next car will be Norris. He's at 6 seconds. Perez is behind on an outlap. Norris car behind 2.5.

Out of sectors. So that was a purple sector 1.

So 8 to 12 is the weakest section. It's about four tenths, so that's the sector.

Was that just apex speed or the low speed or...?

Yeah, it just looks like that. Low speed, yes, it looks like that. Minimum speed.

Turn 12.

Yeah, turn 12 and back 10 to George, minimum speed, turn 12.

So no pressure behind. You've got Zhou at 7 seconds up. Slow lap. You've got four clear ahead. 15.

Where's Joe? He's had six seconds. He's on a slow lap.

It's a red flag. A red flag.

OK, so Leclerc has just gone into the barrier, turn 15.

Set a driver okay, just match the front end in.

Just a bit of practice, a bit of stop and switch off.

There's a magic bullet rearwards.

OK, that's going to be a bit... that's going to be too much of a... So we'll go straight out. So we've got Gasly's car ahead and 23 seconds behind. I'll put wing in. Affirm. Yeah, put it back in. So this will be a faster outlap, targeting the front temp.

Uppers are getting lap 1 on the soft. Uppers are getting lap 1.

So 5 ahead is Gasly, 18 behind Stroll is Gasly and 18 behind Stroll.

B-Bal offset plus one.

No transcript available

B-Bal offset plus one.

Okay, reflex, reflex, keep that brake tight, reflex, keep that spools too.

So, it's a column pit, so you can wall at turn 4, you can wall at turn 4.

He's just taking the front side out, front left side. So you're currently P1. With that, you're currently at P1, Norris, for turn 2. Turn 1 in the final sector. Turn 2 in the final sector.

So, turn to Norris, it's 10 to click down, sector 1. It's losses in turn 2 and 3. Turn 2 without a snap. Traffic in 3. OK, copy.

Copy, you've got some improvements to make. Copy, you've got some improvements. Copy, turn, column window, car stops, head, turn, column window, car stops, head, left hand side.

I have one more lap. I have one more lap.

So we'll box-box and we've got time remaining in session.

Please stop at the marks back of the garage.

And that was 15 knots.

And we'll go straight out.

So we're going to have George starting lap, so George car behind, and then it'll be Sainz 12 seconds.

Tactical plus 12 on both axles.

Sights at 8 seconds. Sights at 5.5 seconds. Sights at 4 seconds. You've got George 7 ahead, Sights at 3 behind.

Sir Sainz two and a half behind. Sir Sainz completing a lap. Alonso five behind.

No transcript available

Yeah, that's not the brake balance.

OK, so we've got Norris at 2.5 behind. So Norris car behind. It'll be Stroll at 6.5.

And we'll go strat mode 1.

Ricciardo at 6.5 seconds. He's on protectives.

And we're caught at 4 and a half.

Forgot I'm still 4.5.

Car ahead on slow lap. Ricciardo behind 4 seconds. He's on high fuel. So Ricciardo behind on high fuel.

Good gap ahead of a lot.

Savicato at 3 behind. Strat 2, good to go.

Yeah, I messed it up.

OK, no problem. We've got time left for two times, so we'll get one more push then.

Alonso out of 4.5.

So next car will be Gasly at six seconds. He's also on fuel.

So, Gasly 4 behind on fuel. You've got Ricciardo at 4 ahead. Now 6 ahead also on fuel.

Behind Gasly there are another four cars.

Behind Gasly. Yeah, four cars behind Gasly. Looks like they are all pushing.

Single-lap. Yeah, they're on single-lap cars behind. Actually, Biermann, he's on high-fuel as well.

We've got BMF behind on Highfield and Piastri on low.

You've got six ahead.

That'll be Hulkenberg. He's also high fuel. So, Hulkenberg.

OK, so clear for second. Second is 10 seconds behind.

There you go. It's a 5 ahead. It's a 6 ahead.

Not big enough gap. OK, copy.

I've got 30 seconds to be able to get one more lap in.

In terms of margin, so you've got Tsunoda behind about four seconds. How big a gap do I need to hit?

Tsunoda car behind. If we've not got a car on fuel, we should be OK with about 7 seconds. Is the car behind on fuel or not? Negative.

We don't know what Tsunoda's doing, but then you've got Alonso at four seconds. He's on a lap.

Yeah, of course, I wanted to say something like that.

Session done, yeah? Yeah, copy. We'll take the flag and do the start.

Yeah, Alonso was fast, double-cooled fast, and then kept pushing set to one by the look of it.

Yeah. Yep.

No surprise. Yep.

Just need to go quicker.

It's just proving now, so yeah, Verstappen only at low with proving now.

Downgraded shift to turn 2. OK, copy.

Cameraman for a start? Yeah, it's okay for a start.

So it's going to be left-hand side and two burnouts.

How many burnouts? It is two. Two burnouts left-hand side.

And it'll be 52.2, and then strat 13, pushing turn 3.

Keep getting these downgraded shifts.

OK, copy. We'll look into that.

Clutch position was deep 3%. Yeah, that's it. Okay, no problem.

So we'll practice pit entry, practice pit stop.
