OK, Oli, we can do the start, so we can do the start. And there's 15... 10 seconds to the green light.

The thing is, with this queue, I think we're going to get... I think we're going to struggle. Yeah, you should be okay to do the start. Just pull around the corner and do the start. Yeah, I need to find a gap. You'll be okay.

So remember mode RS for the start.

Sorry.

Mode ES, please. Mode ES.

And mode K2 plus, please, Ollie. Mode K2 plus.

Just a reminder on brake warm-up.

So you've got Tsunoda 2.5 seconds ahead, Piastri 3 seconds behind. Everybody is on outlaps.

So you're in a good position.

Reset the bounce adjuster.

Mode push and you are good to go. Good to go.

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

Reminder to take it a bit more slowly. Turn 2 to turn 3.

We've got Verstappen starting a time lap nine seconds behind.

Verstappen five seconds behind time lap.

Verstappen, three seconds, two seconds coming past.

I think you're probably aware I braked a bit too late for turn 5. That's the only place you lost time to, Tsunoda. Otherwise you were six and a half tenths quicker than Tsunoda. No other threats behind at the moment.

And maybe you could brake a little bit deeper later into turn 7. Brake warm-up when possible. Still no threats behind.

Perez on a timed lap. He is 12 seconds behind.

Perez, 10 seconds behind.

Perez, eight seconds behind. Mode push. When you're ready, you're good to go. Good to go. Perez, three seconds, four seconds. Correction, good to go.

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

So, feedback is Nico is carrying more speed through 7 and he's slower through 11 to be quicker through 12. That's where he's gaining time on you.

Well, that was a very good lap. Very good lap.

So, still no immediate threats. Sainz probably starting a time lap but he's 22 seconds behind.

Sainz has aborted, so next car time lap is Norris. He's 20 seconds behind.

Norris is 18 seconds behind timed lap. Correction, 12 seconds behind timed lap. GPS glitch.

Norris, 10 seconds timed lap.

Norris, seven seconds timed lap.

Five seconds Norris, time flat.

Four seconds, Norris.

Three seconds, Norris.

One second. Norris is coming up behind you.

OK, next one is Hamilton. Seven seconds time lap. Five seconds time lap. Mode push. You are good to go. Good to go. Good to go. Good to go.

No, you did a mistake. Copy that, Oli. Piastri time lap four seconds behind.

We will box this lap. So mode in, mode in. Piastri, three and a half seconds time lap.

Still three seconds, Piastri, time lap. Mode in, please, mode in.

Piastri still two and a half seconds behind time lap.

Piastri coming through. And then we've got Ricciardo time lap 8 seconds behind.

Ricciardo, five seconds time lap.

Ricciardo, two seconds, time lap.

Ricardo will be coming through shortly.

Boxing this lap.

Stopping on the marks and going to P1, please.

And 50 long on the stop-limb position there, Ollie.

Gasly's just completed the time lap. He's exiting turn 1 now. Should be on a slow lap. Yep, Gasly's on a slow lap. No threats behind. Brake balance adjuster forward. Suggestion.

You've got Verstappen on an outlap 7 seconds ahead of you. Gasly on a slow lap 7 seconds behind. No threats.

Colo Pinto timed lap 22 seconds behind.

Nico starting a time lap six seconds behind.

Charge on. Nico, five seconds time lap.

Four seconds Nico time-lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second coming past. No other threats.

OK, Ollie. Suggest that you could compromise the apex speed at 16 a little bit for a better exit, so slightly less aggressive in, faster out. Might be a little bit better. Overall very good though. Verstappen 44.0, yourself 44.5, so very good.

Still no threats behind.

Still no threats behind.

Still no immediate threats. Next time lap cars are more than 20 seconds behind.

Okay, we're now suggesting going to 60% on the brake balance because we see a little bit of front under rotation. Norris time lap 17 seconds behind. Verstappen is 10 seconds ahead so you're in a good position.

Shall I reset the shape for that?

No, leave it as it is. Okay, mode push. Good to go.

Mode in, please. Mode in. Sainz starting a time-lap, 5 seconds behind. If possible, can we have a CSL6 after turn 2? CSL6 after 2. Sainz 2.5 seconds behind. Time-lap. 2 seconds. Time-lap. Corrections. He's bailed out of it. No threats behind.

And turn 16 was better on that lap. So good job there.

Next car on the time lap is Ricciardo. He's 18 seconds behind.

Still no threats behind. Ricardo is still 14 seconds behind on his time lap.

So you've got Hamilton on an outlap six seconds behind.

Boxing this lap.

200 long there, Oli.

So, a burnout in mode slow if possible and then a mode RF start, please.

B-Bal offset plus one.

Mode F1, please. Mode F1. Reminder for no DRS. Pushing immediately.

First time lap target time is around 1.50 Oli.

Just keep me on the road flat. Will do.

Tyre management is good, Oli. We're happy.

Tyre management is good, Olli.

We are very happy with all aspects of the management. Pace is good. You've got eight more time laps.

Suggest diff 22 to help maintain stability.

Yellow flag ahead. Yellow flag ahead.

Track is clear.

Okay, I'll be getting a little bit too much rear sliding at turn 3 as the tyres drop off.

Suggest P6 to help entry stability.

Provide me.

So, P6 for entry stability. Sorry, remind me of the stage. Multifunction A, P6.

Yeah, yeah. OK.

Still doing an excellent job there. Very happy with management and pace. You've got five more time laps.

Yeah, copy. I don't know why, but the bump in turn 18 is getting worse. When it's like turn 1, it's clear. Track is clear.

Yellow flag, turn 1.0 S. Ahead of you.

And copy your comments about the bump in turn 18.

McGurley, please run half a car width wider at 18 to try and solve this bump problem.

Yeah, that's better. Copy.

Please increase lift and coast at 15. It's got a bit short.

Mode F2, please, Oli. Mode F2. Three more time laps.

You're doing a great job, Oli, but I'm sure you're aware you had a bit too much sliding exit of three on the current lap.

OK. Two time laps to go.

OK, Oli, we're just going to miss doing the extra lap, so please use DRS to the start-finish line.

So you're finishing your last time lap. Use DRS up to turn 1, please.

Copy.

Okay, that's the chequered flag. You've got yellow flags ahead of you. Yellow flags ahead of you. So we're going to the grid to do a start.

Yeah, copy. Stroll hasn't taken the checkered flag. He's right behind you. He could still be pushing. Just let him through. Okay, he seems to have backed off.

Yes, Stroll has backed off, so mode slow please, mode slow.

Please press the oil pump button when you can, Ollie.

As you approach the grid, Stroll will have to take the checker, so he's going to come past you. I'll just let him pass to save an issue.

Yeah, I don't know why, but the early laps the bump was not really an issue in high fuel and then it started to become an issue, strangely. Yeah, understood. Could be some sort of temperature effect, we'll have a look into it, but it was good information. How was the long run? Excellent, Oli, really good. We'll talk about it afterwards, but it was excellent.

What did you say? It was excellent. We'll talk about it afterwards, but it was a really good run. Copy.

So your start at the beginning of this run was very good, so please repeat the procedure. We're going to do a start from the right-hand side of the grid. So approaching the grid, do two burnouts, or approaching the grid position, do two burnouts, and then a mode RS start as far forward as you can from the right-hand side of the grid. Yep.

After the start, push up to turn 3.

Mode in, please. Mode in.

Yeah, so that was an excellent session in general, Ollie. And a really good long run. We learned a lot there. So, practice your pitlane entry coming in. It'll be a stop on the marks and a tyre change. And then the guys will push you forward and you can go to P1.

Thank you. That was my first FP2.

Box, Oli, Box, please confirm.
