Reminder for the big bounce adjuster forwards to use DRS.

Track is clear behind.

Adjusted forwards, please, Oli.

You've got Norris 14 seconds ahead. GX3 please, GX3.

And mode K2+. Mode K2+.

Next car on a time lap is more than 20 seconds behind. Just concentrate on your tyres and brake temperatures.

Reset the big adjuster.

Reminder to use DRS on this lap. Mode push. You're good to go.

Reminder to go into another fast lap.

Watch for Bottas starting a time lap 6 seconds behind. Charge on for a cool down lap.

Bottas, four seconds.

So it's the difficult issue. Bottas has gone straight on at one. So it's the difficult challenge of keeping his speeds down but also using as much full throttle at higher revs as possible, Oli. So appreciate that's a difficult one. Alonso nine seconds behind but he's passed the yellow flag so I'm sure he's on a slow lap.

So, Alonso, five and a half seconds behind, but all cars are on slow laps. You just lost a little bit on apex speed to Nico and Tsunoda at 11 and 12, otherwise very good.

Sock 1, please. Sock 1 and suggest diff 32 to help stability. We think the car's a little bit too neutral at the moment, but that will change quickly as the track grip comes up.

And at turn 16 you went in a bit quick, which meant a slower exit than would be ideal, so let's compromise the entry for the exit at 16.

First car on a timed lap is 14 seconds behind Colopinto.

Brake warm-up, please, Oli. Brake warm-up.

Polo Pitot, time lap 11 seconds behind.

Pull up into time-lapse 7 seconds. You'll have to let him through, there's no other immediate threats. He's three seconds behind now, so let him through, then make a gap.

Make sure your adjuster is in the right position. Mode push, just wait for my call.

Good to go, good to go.

No immediate threats, so it will be charged on across the line.

We'd suggest trying head 6 to help stability.

Zhou behind has just also done a fast lap.

Red flag, Olli. Red flag. No overtaking. Follow the delta.

Do you want charge off? Mode in, please. Mode in.

Not sure why we've got the red flag at the moment. We'll update you in a note.

We don't have any cars in the wall, so it must be some sort of debris on the track, so just keep your eyes peeled.

So it is for debris. Not sure where that is, I'm afraid.

OK, Ali, stopping on the marks and then P1, please.

Stopping position was 300 along there, Oli.

No transcript available

Just be aware that your tyres are going to be a bit on the cold side at the moment.

Track is clear behind. You've got Hamilton and Bottas leaving the pits behind you.

Spark 2, please, Ollie. Spark 2. No, Spark 3. Correction, stay in Spark 3.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So, no threats behind at the moment.

Tyre temperatures are on the low side.

You've got a 10 second gap behind, so in good position. Make sure your adjuster is in the correct position. I don't think you've used it, that's fine. Mode push, you're good to go.

Tsunoda starting a time lap, three seconds behind. Charge on, please. We'll do another push lap after this. Tsunoda, two and a half seconds, two seconds, one and a half seconds, one second coming past. No other threats. Bottas, four seconds behind, is in sync.

So, S1 was much better there. Bottas still pushing. Let Bottas through. Bottas apparently still pushing.

You've got 18 seconds behind you to Hamilton, who has just completed a time lap. So, we've got double yellow at 7, but it should clear. And turn 6 yellow, turn 6 at yellow. All clear ahead now. So, sector 1 was much better. Sam, sector 1 was much better. Hamilton 9 seconds behind. He seems to be still pushing.

We saw that you got held up through 7, 8, 9, 10 by Tsunoda. Hamilton five seconds time lap.

Four seconds, Hamilton.

Two seconds, Hamilton.

One second Hamilton coming past. No other threats.

Still no threats behind. Norris right behind you is on an outlap. Be yellow at the last corner. Standby. Track is clear. Mode push.

You are good to go. Good to go.

No immediate threats. Mode in will box this lap.

So we've got Ricciardo eight seconds behind, starting a time lap.

Excellent laps there, Oli. Currently P11 on 48.5. So you've got Norris on a slow lap, 5 seconds behind. Ricciardo, time lap, 10 seconds.

Red flag, red flag. Leclerc in the wall on the exit of turn 15.

So, boxing this lap, follow your delta. Copy. No overtaking.

So, cushion approaching 15. That car's on the outside.

OK, Olli, stopping on the marks and P1, please.

Reminder, you were a bit long stopping last time.

Stop in position when skid.

We're doing a start? I'd like you to drive straight out, please.

B-Bal offset plus one.

So track is clear behind.

You've got Sainz two seconds behind. That's Tsunoda directly in front. OK, you've now got an 11 second gap to Perez ahead of you.

So, focusing on tyre warm-up, particularly the fronts.

Still no threats behind.

So Perez is three seconds in front, Tsunoda two seconds behind, all on outlaps.

Okay, there's a yellow flag at turn 1 at the moment. Yellow flag at turn 1. Track is clear. Nico, five seconds ahead. So let's go mode push. You are reset, bounce adjuster. You are good to go.

Charge on for cool-down lap. No threats behind.

All cars are in sync.

So let's concentrate on that difficult job of getting the tyre temperature down and the charge up.

And the only feedback we've got for you Oli is we think you can carry a bit more speed through turn 12 apex.

And also focus on the exit at 16, so compromise the entry a little bit to get a better exit from 16. OK. Zhou, timed lap 6 seconds behind.

Zhou, time lap 4 seconds.

Zhou, three seconds time-lap. Two seconds time-lap. One second time-lap coming through. Then we've got Verstappen six seconds behind time-lap.

Four seconds Verstappen time lap.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

Brake warm-up when possible. One second Verstappen coming through. Brake warm-up when possible, please. No other threats.

So mode push. Wait for my call. Good to go, good to go, good to go.

Double yellow, turn 4. Red flag, red flag, red flag. No overtaking. Follier delta. Colopinto crashed at turn 4. He's on the outside, so stay right.

Mode in, please. Copy.

Very nice job with your lap there, Oli.

Currently P8.4697.

What does the timing look like in terms of laps from now? We're going to have to go to heavy fuel. We don't know how long this red flag is going to last and there isn't enough time to do another run on these tyres.

Okay, stopping on the marks and going to P1, please.

OK, you're going to have to stop in front of the garage while the box is full.

Yeah, Oli, just be aware Nico had a DRS problem. And I'm at the top of my head. That would have cost him around half a second, six tenths. So, just put that in.

Thank you for your time.

So, Oli, you can go for a gap without impeding. So, after the Alpine is good. That's it. Nice job. Reminder to do a start, please. So, if you have scope to do a burnout, great. If not, no problem. Just do the start.

No transcript available

So mode RS for the start. That's done.

Mode push, please. Mode push. Pushing if possible. Reminder for no DRS.

Tsunoda is going to start a low fuel timed lap. That's why he's not pushing and not letting you through.

You've got an eight second gap behind you.

You've got a nine second gap behind you, so no issues, Oli. Just wait for the gap ahead to open up and then start your run.

Good to go, good to go.

Reminder for lifting coast.

Spark 3 before the control line please, Olli. And just watch your wrist slip out of 3 and 6.

OK, exit turn 3 better last lap, but turn 6 still a bit too much wheelslip.

Suggest EB3 for entry stability. Improvement.

I have quite bad graining. Copy that. Please go to mode F1. Mode F1 and spark 2.

We've got two more time laps, including this one.

Suggest D34 to help stability. Please use DRS on the next lap. Use DRS.

Okay, Elitso coming up to take the chequered flag.

Could we have mode in, please? Mode in. And could you do a CSL6 after turn 2, please? CSL6 after turn 2.

Okay, so Verstappen, five seconds behind Alonso, has taken the chequered flag, so we are going to the grid now to do a start.

Yeah, the graining was quite bad from pretty early on. I think I overdid it in wrist slip in the early laps. Yeah, we saw that Nico also had heavy graining as well and a few other cars, so something to think about. Verstappen is close behind you. Obviously every car has taken the checkered flag.

Appreciate that the tyres aren't going to be in the best condition for doing the start, but the clutch control aspect is what we're particularly interested in.

Can I overtake? Yes, you can.

So, Olli, your previous start was good. The request is just to be a bit smoother with the clutch if possible. And just a reminder to target those pre-start red lights. Do you have a drop phase or a release phase?

Both Billy has the reply. So can we have mode slow please, mode slow. I'd like you to do two burnouts approaching the grid. And then a mode RS start from the left hand side, so left side of the grid please. Copy.

Mode RS.

Push to turn 3.

Mode in, please. Mode in. Boxing this lap.

Okay, Oli, so you'll be practicing your main entry, stopping on the marks, and the guys will do a tyre change before you go to P1.

Box, Oli, Box, please confirm. Copy.

And P1.
