Radio check, pitlane. Yeah, loud and clear at the pitlane.

So we'll be straight out here. Drive around those cars that are waiting to do a start.

Sir, cars ahead have got about four second gaps between them. It's quite tightly bunched at the moment in sector 2.

Radio check into 3. Allowed a clear turn 3.

10-4. At turn 4, I have no grip.

Mate, you need to go for a prep lap here, mate. Yeah, it's quite a bit of bunching up ahead.

Prove a castle. Loud and clear. 8, 9, 10. 11, 12. 11, 12. 13. Copy, sir. 13.

So, happy to go for a prep lap. Yeah, you too.

Just keep an eye on Ocon, car behind. I see his opening.

Windscreen, it was good.

So diff magic and brake magic are available. Perez at 7 seconds. Looks like he's going for a prep lap.

So Leclerc has got four seconds ahead of him to Gasly, so he may drop back towards you slightly in the final sector.

And next lap will be strat 2. Good to go.

Well done at the top of the team.

So Leclerc was doing consecutive good improvement on his second push lap. Just keep an eye on Piastri car behind. Let me know if you want to continue pushing. There's no grip at the moment.

Strat 5. OK, parkour. OK, confirm. So you've got Piastri car behind. Two seconds on a lap. Go behind him. I think we'll probably need to do more laps on this medium before going to the soft. The track's just nowhere. Totally unrepresentative currently. Yeah, understood. I'm sure it'll ramp in quite quickly. Let's just follow the track. So targeting minus 15.

Just keep that temp in the front tyres though. We've got a yellow flag turn 1. Valtteri's just gone down the escape road.

Green 7, position 5.

So Lewis did 52.6 and then he went 47.6. He got Perez at 5 seconds on a lap. So Key is going to be getting the fronts into the right window here. So Perez now 2 and 1.

So Norris behind on outlap, all cars behind in sync.

I will be strapped to next lap.

Okay, so Strat 1 goes single-cool. Norris, car behind. Just completing a lap. Keep an eye in case he does go for a second lap. Looks like he's backed off. So targeting minus 15. So we want to keep building those front items. Main lap time loss is braking. So that's mainly turn 1, turn 7. Still looks like he's struggling to get the fronts properly in the window.

Yeah, I just slide on both axles everywhere. And even the grip on the rear 317 18 was very weak.

I'd probably be inclined to make a change at the rear for the next run. Leave at the front. Yeah, A-firm. Understood. Anything you want to do on balance? Try and get these temps in a better window.

So a red flag, a red flag. Not sure why at the moment. Delta positive.

And avoiding low brake pressure.

So there's no cars gone off anywhere. Just keep an eye open for anything off the track.

I've got something in my left elbow aggravating me. If we could just take a look.

AFL. Sorry. Box, box.

Stop on the marks with the cone in front.

So we expect this to be a very quick turnaround, George. Just some debris out on track. It'd be worth going into that change now.

Restart in 20 seconds.

So, targeting plus five on the rear.

Just keep working those fronts.

And we'll be Strat 2 next lap.

I'm going to go next lap. OK, Clem, so Gasly at six seconds.

Gasly now, five and a half.

Gasly, now two seconds.

Next car, Ricciardo, at 4 seconds on a lap of 3. There's 8 behind him. 2 seconds to Ricciardo.

It will be strat 2.

This change hasn't really made much difference. Just still sliding both axles. No grip.

So we've got Colopinter three seconds on a lap.

So, we're happy to box if you want to get on with some changes. Here, George. I don't have a change, it's going to make a difference. Let me go for one more and see. There you go.

I mean, I had nothing in sector 1. Envelope time just came in sector 2. Yeah, copy that. Just keep an eye on the colour meter. Two seconds. Do we need a box or where are you going again?

Dead. Next car is Alonso. We're going to plot and measure this lap. Four seconds to Alonso. Sorry, two.

You've got a double yellow at turn 15.

So we've got Leclerc in the wall. Red flag, red flag. Delta positive. And we'll box, box.

Avoiding low brake pressure.

I'm doing my best. It's a bit difficult.

Just let me know if you want to get on with the close changes. I think so. We'll make another change for the front as well. I'll talk about that when we get back in.

I've got double yellow here, turn 4. Just hold a second whilst we see it.

So, switch off. Switch off. It's a red flag out there now.

So we've got 80 seconds to green light.

Keep it running or switch off? We'll switch off.

So, 35 seconds. We'll fire up.

There will be some cars out here now on high fuel, we expect.

No transcript available

B-Bal offset plus one.

So it'll be strat 2 next lap.

Offset plus one. And one.

I don't know what's going on. I have turn 2. I have double yellows. I have understeer and not a tach.

OK, so strat 1, go single cool, that double yellow has cleared. Can we change the upshift settings? Yeah, if I've got a switch, change that coming.

Green 13.0 position.

Green 13, position 1.

Targeting minus 20 from here.

Still braking. Turn 1, 2 and 15. We've got Norris first car on the lap. He's a high fuel. Consecutive laps at 5 seconds.

Three, two, one.

Lewis Carver behind, he bailed on his lap. He went straight on turn 1.

Next car on lap is Ricciardo. 10 seconds. He's also on high fuel. Doing consecutive laps.

You've got about five seconds.

3, 2, 1, 0.

Alpine 52, Alpine's on a slow lap.

And the next car on the lap, Biermann, at 7 seconds. He is also on fuel. He's doing 52.1 his first lap. 4 seconds now to Biermann. And then he's got Hulk. So Hulk's at 10 seconds also on fuel. Biermann now at 2 seconds. Then it's 7 seconds behind him for Hulk. Pérez will be the next car. So Pérez 12 seconds after Hulk. He's low fuel, Pérez. So Hulk at 3, 2. I recommend B-Bal 59. So now Pérez on a lap 5, 4, 3. Low fuel for Pérez. 2. And then Tsunoda 9 seconds. And he's backed off. Actually, he may still be pushing. No, he has backed off. He'll be strapped to next lap.

I should have let him overtake me.

So you've got Sainz just coming down to turn 1 now, opening his lap. Sainz at 4.

Two seconds to silence.

Next car, Stroll, at four seconds on the lap. Three seconds.

Stroll has backed off.

In sync with the cars behind you.

Sir Hulkenberg at 27 seconds, his first car. Obviously he's still doing those consecutives. He's mid-150s.

Track is all clear ahead of sight. 21 seconds.

Struggling to get temp out of these tyres.

Slow lap. All the cars behind you until Norris are on slow lap. So Norris is at 7 seconds. He's doing consecutives then.

Norris at 5 seconds. I'll be strat 2 next lap.

OK, so we'll get to P, you call it now, please.

So it will be coasting from turn 20.

And that'll be right hand side and one burnout.

Cut. 30.

That clutch was 4% shallow.

George, we're thinking default at the moment to make a change between FB1 and FB2. Copy.

So it'll be box, box, stop at the FIA waybridge, switch off and then jump out.
